Spider-Man Volume 1, Issue #20: Spiderman and his Amazing Friends vs the Femme Fatales
"So what'd I miss?" Black Cat asks, seemingly excited to get into the fight.
"Oh you know, the usual. Bad guys put together a team to kill yours truly, with them failing miserably. How'd you even find me anyway? Not that I'm not grateful for the assist and all, but it would be nice to know." I reply, trying to sound as casual as I can about a group of supervillains trying to kill me.
"Right. That.. Well, I kind of put a tracer inside your mask when you know, you almost died and everything.. Figured you might need help next time. Turns out it was the right call too! Don't be mad!" She genuinely looks worried for me.
"That is a total breach of privacy! Not that I really have the time to get mad about it right now though.."
"And you know this cat girl how?" Lana crosses her arms as she's asking me this, as if she doesn't trust Felicia.
"It's kind of a long story, and I promise I'll tell you everything later. Right now, we kind of have bigger things to worry about." The remaining six members of the Femme Fatales comes at us head on. Princess Python stays in the back, with her python slithering towards us. I web its mouth shut, and provide a barrage of web balls to act as a distraction, with Black Cat closing the distance between her and Princess. The Bombshells clash, with explosions going off left right and centre. Black Cat knocks Princess out with relative ease, with her not putting up much of a fight. Raptor swoops down at me, trying to scratch me multiple times. I grab her wing with my webbing, and toss her into Scorpia. They get back up quickly enough, with them both charging at me. Skein is mostly playing the crowd control role at this point, keeping me and Lana immobilized, while the others rush in.
As Raptor's flying at me, I notice her get hit with an energy beam. It's at that point that I realize the beam came from one of their own, Beetle. Ok, gonna be honest here, I didn't see that one coming.
"What the #@%& Beetle?!" Bomb-shell yells out at her teammate, as Raptor crashes into the wall on the right side of the room.
"This façade was getting boring. I can't believe you actually thought I'd align myself with scum like you." Scorpia is able to nick me in the shoulder, after which she whips her tail into my stomach, sending me crashing through the front door that leads into the warehouse. Oww. Just when I was getting over my earlier battle wounds too.
"So why didn't you get Shocker or Electro to join your merry band of misfits? I mean sure, it kind of clashes with your girl power theme and all, but they were both more effective on their own than you all are as a group! It's so bad that one of your own teammates decides to turn against you. " I yell upon entering the warehouse once again after getting up, and running back. At least what qualifies as running after getting tossed through a door.
"More like I was playing the long game." I hear Beetle reply in her heavily modulated voice.
Bomb-Shell responds to me with more expletives than I can count, and I'm pretty sure everyone gets the picture. She's really pissed off. Black Cat is on top of some debris.
"Friendly Bombshell, light it up!" Black Cat smirks as she gestures to the debris below her. Lana creates an explosion below the debris, which sends a sheet of metal, and Black Cat, into the air. Felicia pulls out her claw grappling hook, and shoots with it hooking onto part of the catwalk. Using the momentum, she swings into Skein, kicking her into the shelving unit. Beetle and Raptor are now duking it out in the air, exchanging blows. It doesn't take long before Beetle overpowers Raptor, and sends her spiralling downwards, in which I create a web for her to land in. Another one down for the count. Bomb-Shell sends some debris at Lana with an explosion. I create a web barrier in front of Lana, as I narrowly avoid Scorpia's tail. Skein blinds me by using my costume against me, covering my eyes.
My spider sense keeps flaring up, as I try to predict where she's coming from. Sometimes, I'm successful, other times, I get hit by her massive tail. I wonder what excuse I'm gonna think of this time for Aunt May. Took a tumble on the dance floor maybe? Eh that would be a little hard to believe. Ooh, maybe she won't notice if I wear a big enough turtleneck. Guess I should worry about that after the fight. Skein tries to throw up a shield to block Black Cat and Beetle's attacks, but the cloth just droops down. Black Cat's bad luck strikes again. Wow, try saying that one ten times fast. Beetle and Black Cat take the opportunity to knock out Skein. With Skein unconscious, her powers don't effect me anymore. Bomb-Shell, realizing the fight is a lost cause, runs for the exit, but I block her path with webbing. She blows it apart rather quickly, but Lana explodes part of the wall above the exit, making sure it's blocked. I hear sirens blaring in the distance. This is pretty much over.
"This fight is pretty much over.. Until next time Spider-Man." Scorpia says bluntly, as she pulls out a device from her pocket, and presses a button. With one blink, she's gone.
"Die, die, die you $&*^%$#!!" Bomb Shell keeps on going until the bitter end.. With more and more explosions, until she just falls unconscious from overexertion. Lana doesn't look in the best of shape, as it feels like she'll faint at any moment. Beetle lands in front of me, and Felicia looks like she barely broke a sweat. I make sure the Femme Fatales are all webbed up.
"Thanks for the help Beetle." I say, thankful that we actually pulled it off.
"Anytime P-Spider-Man. I was undercover in the Femme Fatales, trying to figure out their endgame. Turns out there wasn't really much of an endgame besides killing you.. Anyways, I'm sure I'll see you around sometime. Peace!" With that, Beetle flies off, as the police enter the warehouse.
"Guess that's our cue to leave." I whisper to Felicia
"Cya later Spider." Felicia whispers back, with a sly wink before she gets out of the building.
I climb up the wall and out the window. I pull out my phone, and notice Harry texted me.
"Hey man, where are you?"
"Pete?"
"You better not be doing something stupid."
"Gah, I hate it when you do this."
"Oh yeah by the way, the dance got postponed, no surprise there."
"You better have a good explanation tomorrow."
Yikes.. First Lana, now Harry. Soon enough, I'll be all booked up on conversations I need to have tomorrow. I quickly call Aunt May to let her know I'm coming home, and I start web swinging my way home. I make sure to change out of my costume, before entering the neighbourhood. Upon arriving at the house, I open the door, and take off my shoes, before tiptoeing up the steps towards my room. It looks like Aunt May went to sleep, thank goodness. I take off my tux and dress pants, and change into something a little more comfortable. I lay on my bed, trying to get to sleep. Unfortunately for me, sleep doesn't come that easy after a brawl with supervillains. It's about 10 minutes later, before I hear the doorbell ring. Who could it be at this late hour? Lana? Nah, couldn't be. It would take her longer to get here than the time that's passed. Ah, whatever, guess I'll find out soon enough. I get up off my bed, and walk down the stairs. I see Aunt May coming from her room, but I gesture for her to go back into her room. She nods, and goes back to her room.
I open the door, and it's someone I don't recognize. She's dressed in a t-shirt that has smashed up pumpkins on it, and has sweatpants on. Also she has brown hair that's up in a ponytail. She has a curious look on her face as she looks at me.
"Peter Parker?" She finally says after a long pause.
"Yeah, that's me. And you are?"
"Oh right.. Sorry! My name's Teresa Elizabeth Parker.. I'm your sister."
