A Girl Lost
Sarah and Brent were holding hands walking down a park road when Sarah came out and said,
"Brent I'm worried about Brian and Abby. After our little adventure they just vanished. Where would they go?"
"I don't know..."
Just then Brent looked at the face on Sarah and knew something else was bothering her.
"If there is something you wanna tell me, now might be a good time."
"Ok, there is something I have to confess, Brian used to be a guy I really liked, so I didn't tell you about how strange he was acting. When I first met the Creature, he was like, hypnotized, and later when I went to talk to him, he was fine. He led me into a trap. I told him that and he was worried for my life. I wanted you to know, but I still did like him, and I didn't want you to do anything drastic to him."
There was a long silence, and Sarah could tell her feelings for Brian came to him like a bow.
"For a while I thought he was like me, the way he easily beat up muggers, I thought he was as enthusiastic about stuff like this as me. I liked action and got into trouble long before I had any powers. I'm Sorry. I see know that I was ignoring an even more wonderful guy."
They both blushed and separated because Brent was up for football practice. He had brains, and many considered him a nerd, but he also established himself as an athlete. He had the proportionate strength and agility of a spider, but since he and his family were in hiding, he figured football was a good way to stay in shape and use his extra abilities.
Just then, Sarah noticed a small metal ball on the ground. Then, her spider-sense went off, she wanted to move, but figured it was faulty. What could possibly be so dangerous? She didn't see anything. Then she saw it. A giant puff of smoke was coming out of that little metal ball. She wanted to run or web-shoot out of there, but it was too late. she was completely knocked out. Two men in shady disguises then took Sarah and carried her away.
Later, Brent was worried for Sarah.
"Where is she? She was supposed to be here an hour ago to help me scope out the city!" he whispered to himself on the top of the city museum. Then, enough was enough and Spider-Man swung out of sight, sneaking through all of her usual hang-outs, in case she forgot again. When she didn't turn up, he figured there was only one other place she could be. The Abandoned Building. Wait, he thought, that building disappeared! Oh, well, it was the only lead he had. Guess what! It was there again. The building reappeared.
"Even Ripply wouldn't believe this!"
Spider-Man crawled to the top of the building, and peaked through a small glass window that used to be a skylight. When he did he saw a horrible sight. Sarah was tied to a giant flat board and was being grilled by Upgrade and the Creature. They teamed up!
"Why do you try to convince us you're not Spider-Woman Sarah? We both know you are." said Upgrade.
"I'm telling you, you have the wrong girl!"
"We are wasting time," said the Creature, "she isn't going to break." Then he turned to Sarah and said "How 'bout we show you some proof?"
Then he took off her shirt to reveal her Spider-suit underneath. Then, as the gas was wearing off she gathered her strength and made a break for it. She finished changing and began to fight. They were too strong. She was still weak from the gas. They tied her up again , then Creature busted in saying, "I don't get it. We have her here we want her. She is defenseless, we can kill her, reveal her secret, whatever we want! What are we doing?" Right then Spidey was ready to come to the rescue, but he figured this was a good time to learn what they're up to.
"Don't you see? She has so much power! Wouldn't she make such a good partner? With her being mind controlled with my new invention, my mastery of technology, and your ideas, people and resources, we will be unstoppable! And if that miserable Spider-Man gets in our way, I will merely blast him with this!" Upgrade held up a small ray gun.
"What? Shoot him with a water pistol?"
Then Upgrade got angry. "THIS IS NOT A TOY! This gun is the answer to all our troubles it will take away all mutant powers, inherited or otherwise.
Right the he knew he wouldn't be able to save her alone. He is good at dodging, but Spider-Man can't dodge every single ray! He knew he needed help. But who?
