Heart of a Wolf
Chapter Ten: HYDRA Attacks Part Two
After saving Spider-Man from drowning, Tamera and Scarlet soon found themselves in the middle of a battle, along with Spider-Man. The Goblins with gliders had spotted them and almost immediately were on top of the super-powered teenagers. Tamera knew that they were from HYDRA due to the symbol on their chests, which pissed her off because she knew that Ock wasn't far away. Tamera wants her chance to make Ock pay for he did to her just as much as Scarlet wants pay back against him.
All three of them had fought off the Goblin Soldiers before Scarlet and Tamera were about to head back to the sewers, but Spider-Man made the mistake of antagonizing Scarlet. A fight the ensued between the two spiders before Scarlet realized that he and Tamera were now caught up in this mess with Doc Ock and his goons.
When Spider-Man learned of Scarlet and Tamera's mutual hatred for Ock and a small piece of Scarlet's past, he wanted them to help him take Ock down, but Scarlet refused stating that he doesn't help. That's when Tamera convinced him to help out Spider-Man, saying that it would be their chance to finally find Ock and make him pay for he's done to both of them. Scarlet finally agreed, telling Spider-Man that as soon as Ock is down, he and Tamera are gone.
The three of them had made it to Times Square where they found the rest of the students from SHIELD Academy imprisoned with Goblin Soldiers everywhere. Spider-Man wanted to save his friends right then and there, but Scarlet held him back saying that if did try to save them he would end up getting captured too. That's when Spider-Man had the idea of heading to OSCORP since that's where the original Goblin serum was made and he had hoped that would be the place to find an antidote to turn the HYDRA Soldiers human again.
They made it back into the sewers where they had encountered Kraven the Hunter, seeking to capture Spider-Man. He was surprised to find a wolf and another Spider-Man with him, but Scarlet told him that he and Spider-Man aren't the same as he unsheathed his stingers to break free of the net Kraven had snared him and Tamera in. While avoiding Kraven's attack, Scarlet had freed Spider-Man from the net he was trapped in while Tamera kept Kraven busy. Then, Spider-Man had dropped over a ton of pipes and concrete onto Kraven with the use of his web shooters.
As soon as the three of them made it to OSCORP, they found that Ock was already there, attempting to turn Norman back into the Goblin. But when Norman told Ock that he had developed a cure to keep from turning back into the Goblin again. Ock was not pleased to hear this, but then he turned his attention towards Harry who he had decided he wanted to turn into a Goblin. That's when Spider-Man had intervened, he saved Harry from Ock and freed Norman just as Ock was about to attack, Scarlet and Tamera jumped in. Ock looked in hatred at Scarlet while he was somewhat surprised to see Tamera as well. Scarlet and Tamera unleashed all their anger rage on Ock. Scarlet had Ock right where he wanted him, but before he could finish Ock, the Goblins intervened and knocked him down. Ock then had Scarlet pinned down and was about to finish him off when Tamera got between Ock's tentacle and Scarlet. Using her wolf strength, she held the tentacle up and away from Scarlet while Ock fought her strength. Tamera told Ock to stay away from Scarlet in a deep and angry voice before she forced him through the wall behind him. Scarlet noticed that Tamera's animal side was really starting to show, he was somewhat concerned about the fact of it getting out of control, but he didn't show it.
Scarlet then turned his attention back towards Ock, who had recovered from being thrown through the wall. He dropped part of the ceiling onto Ock, but he easily tossed it off of him with his tentacles. Scarlet then swung over to him on his webs and knocked out towards the windows, but Ock had grabbed Scarlet's leg at the last second and brought him down with him. Tamera wanted to help him, but it was too late. She then helped Spider-Man deal with the rest of the Goblin Soldiers. She took out the two that had Spider-Man by lifting up a large generator and hurled it towards the Goblins. They dropped Spider-Man and fell of their gliders onto the floor, unconscious.
Spider-Man sighed, "Thanks, Tamera. I owe you one" Spider-Man said as she walked over to him.
"Anytime" she told him as she brushed a strand of her black hair out of her face.
"Where's Ock?" Spider-Man asked, but before Tamera could answer him, Scarlet appeared.
"I had him on the ropes, but the coward turned tail escape" He replied with his hands on his hips.
"You're alive!" Tamera shouted happily as she ran up to Scarlet and hugged him tightly. Once Tamera realized what she did, her eyes widened and she looked up at Scarlet who was just as shocked as she was at what she just did.
She flushed deeply as she pulled away quickly and cleared her throat "Just... uh...glad you're um...okay"
"Right" Scarlet mumbled under his breath.
"So, Ock got away?" Spider-Man asked, feeling awkward about the situation.
"Didn't I just say that?" Scarlet asked with an attitude.
"Well, we'll find him again. I promise" Spider-Man told him.
Spider-Man then turned towards Norman and Harry, "But Norman, why'd Ock go after Harry and not you?"
"I vaccinated myself" Norman told him "I promise my son I would never turn into a Goblin again and that's a promise I intend to keep"
"If the vaccine worked on you, can it change back Ock's Goblin army?" Spider-Man asked Norman.
"Well, yes with some modifications I believe it could become a cure" Norman answered him.
"Then let's get to work" Spider-Man said as he, Scarlet and Tamera began working on modifying the cure. Tamera was able to lend some assistance considering when she was back in high school, she had took Chemistry for three years and passed the class every year. So, she's very good at Chemical Synthesis.
They soon finished modifying the cure and stored it special gauntlets that Spider-Man had designed. He made one that would be easy for Tamera to use since she doesn't have powers like him and Scarlet. He placed it over his web shooters before tossing one over to Scarlet.
"Here, put these over your web shooters" Spider-Man told him.
"Web shooters? What are you talking about? My webs are organic" Scarlet told him as he caught the gauntlet.
"It's true" Tamera said as she walked over to them "His webs and stingers are all organic"
"Ew! Let me see" Spider-Man exclaimed
"Easy, Spider-Nerd" Scarlet said as he placed the gauntlet on his wrist "Just tell me how to use them"
"It's simple" Spider-Man began "When we launch the darts, it'll carry the cure. Like this" He launched a dart at one of the fallen Goblin soldiers and he reverted back to human form as soon as the dart hit his skin. Scarlet did the same as Spider-Man to the fallen Goblin Solider that was next him and he too reverted back to human form.
"And Tamera" Spider-Man turned towards Tamera "I know that you don't have the same powers that Scarlet and I have, so I have something that'll make it easier for you to use"
"What?" Tamera asked with a raised eyebrow. Spider-Man walked over to one of the counters and back over to Tamera holding a special type of gun.
"I've already loaded the darts in here, so you'll be able to help in reverting the Goblin soldiers back to normal" Spider-Man handed her the gun and she took it carefully, since she never held a gun before. She then strapped it to her hip securely.
"Now nobody has to live the nightmare of being a Goblin again" Norma said as he and Harry walked over to the three super-powered teens.
"Ock and HYDRA had us on the run" Spider-Man said "Now it's time to take the fight to them" he raised his hand to Scarlet for a high-five.
"Yeah" Scarlet face-palming himself "I don't do high-fives"
"Figures" Spider-Man said as Scarlet walked off.
Tamera then came over and high-fived Spider-Man "Thanks, Tamera"
"Sure thing, Spider" Tamera replied as they went to go put a stop to Ock and HYDRA together.
Let me know what you think :)
