Spider-Man Volume 1, Issue 19: Femme Fatales
So here I am, in generic warehouse #1, trying to save Lana. But of course, making things difficult, is Princess Python, and her Femme Fatales, which includes at least two others. For simplicities sake, I'll call the one with the tail Scorpia, and the other one Beetle, as their look reminds me of a Beetle. Suddenly, 4 others emerge from the shadows. Two of them I recognize as being Screwball, and Skein, both of which I've fought before. Thought Screwball went to prison though.. Anyways, one of the ones I don't recognize, is dressed in red and black, with the other having black feathered wings. Seven versus one, I'm really not liking these odds. The one in black and red steps forward, and starts speaking.
"Why is she tied up? She's not our prisoner.. Untie her now!" Her voice cuts through the emptiness of the room as she speaks. Scorpia and Bombshell do as their told and untie Lana.
"Mom? What's going on? Why are you with these people? Are you okay?" Wait a minute, that's Lana's mother? The one that's supposedly captured.
Lana's Mother: "I'm fine Lana. Me being captured was all a ruse. You wouldn't have done jobs as Bombshell without some sort of incentive."
Lana: "WHAT? You're telling me after all this time, that you planned all of this?! For what? Me to be your errand girl. You don't even care!"
Bomb-shell: "But I do care sweetie.. You know how our powers work better with us on the same side! I brought you here now, so you could be part of this. Part of the Femme Fatales! Mother and daughter, working together as the Bombshells! Wreaking havoc on New York!"
Lana: "You sure have a bad way of showing you 'care'. Kidnapping me to join your band of merry freaks. Yeah, no thanks.. I thought you'd changed. But man, was I wrong.. It's time I stop pretending you'll get better. Once a monster, always a monster!" Her voice filled with anger, her eyes start to glow pink. Guess it's time to get ready for the fight of my life. Her mini explosion sends the Screwball, Skein, Lana's mother, and the winged person flying across the room. It doesn't seem to affect her mother all that much, as she gets up from the explosion rather quickly.
Bomb-shell: "You ungrateful little $@#*%. After everything I've done for you, this is what I get in return. You just made the biggest mistake of your life Lana.."
Lana: "Actually, I think it's one of the first right things I've done."
"You're not going to kill her are you?" I ask, hoping that Lana doesn't screw up her future by the choices she makes today.
"Of course not Spidey! I'm better than she is. But you definitely need all the help you can get, and I'm fired up."
"This is going to get me my highest viewership yet!" I hear Screwball scream from the other side of the room.
"Shut up and kill them already!" Bomb-shell yells, pointing at me and Lana.
"So, the Femme Fatales aren't under your control Princess Python? Huh, well I figured given your whole speech about your Femme Fatales killing me that you were the leader of this group. Guess I was wrong!" I say, trying to turn her against Bomb-Shell
"They are! Bomb-Shell is merely my right handed woman who sometimes forgets her place among us. Anyways, it's about time we finished you off for good."
With that, the fight begins, with Beetle, and Scorpia rushing at Lana. Scorpia tries stabbing Lana with her tail, but I shoot a webline at Scorpia's tail, pulling her away from Lana. Lana creates an explosion above Beetle, sending parts of the catwalk hurtling down to the ground. Beetle's able to narrowly dodge it. Princess Python's python slithers towards me, trying to I don't know, bite, or suffocate me. Princess herself stays back, seemingly over reliant on her Femme Fatales. Screwball, Skein, and the bird girl come towards me, with Skein binding me in place with strands of cloth. The bird girl dives down at me, and slashes at me with her talons, before flying away. Screwball can't stop herself from smiling, as she skates around on her skateboard. I attach my webline to the wall, acting as a tripwire of sorts. As she's too focused on getting good angles for her livestream, she doesn't notice it. Once she hits the webline, she gets sent right into the ground.
"To me Raptor! Fly me up!" I hear Skein say to the bird girl.
Raptor eh? Good to know.. Raptor proceeds to pick up Skein, and flies up high, dropping her. Skein manipulates her cloth into multiple drills, that come spinning towards me as she falls. Lana explodes the cloth binding me, but as I'm still within range, so the impact pushes me back a little. I take that opportunity to get out-of-the-way of Skein's drills.
"Sorry P-- I mean Spidey.. I reduced the damage as much I could, but still kept it powerful enough to destroy the strands of cloth." How does Lana know? I feel around my head, and realize that the bird girl actually took my mask off with her flurry of attacks. I quickly pull my mask to me, and put it on before they notice my exposed face.
"Ah, it's no big deal! Tis but a scratch!"
"Did you really just quote that now?" Lana asks, almost as if she's surprised, while she dodges Scorpia's tail. I slingshot myself towards Scorpia, and when I release, it's only a matter of moments before my legs collide with Scorpia's stomach, sending her across the room, crashing into some wooden crates. Beetle starts shooting me with her energy beams, which I can only assume are built into the suit. I toss some crates in the way of her blasts, while dodging the rest of them. My spider sense goes off, but it's too late as an explosion goes off behind me, in which I go crashing into Lana.
"Sorry, I tend to quote movies when I get nervous." I say while panting, trying to catch my breath as I get up off the ground. I extend my hand to help her up, and she takes it.
"Right.. By the way, you're explaining yourself when this is all over.." Lana whispers in my ear, before running off to fight Raptor. Suddenly, I hear a loud crashing noise. I don't notice anything until I look over at the window up near the catwalk. The glass is all but gone from the window, and the figure standing there is someone I recognize. It's Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, who's bad luck can really even the odds in our favour.. Wow, talk about good timing.
"Hey Spider, need a hand?" She asks after leaping her way down to end up beside me.
"The more the merrier I say! Let's do this!" I reply, excited that I have friends that I can rely on. Three vs Six, (since Screwball is essentially down for the count. Even if she wasn't, let's just say she's not really one I'm worried about). The odds are growing by the minute!
