SPIDER-GIRL

Part 2

Chapter 7

"The Wesker children"

"You're a liar! You're a cheat! You're a scam! You are a no good rotten SON OF A BITCH!" May spat at Wesker. He just stood there unmoved.

"Search your feelings, child, you know it is true. It is the only explanation that makes sense."

"Don't listen to him, May." Rose jumped in. "This guy's lost it!"

Albert unties Peter and Mary Jane. They rush to rejoin the girls.

May steps up and puts on her mask.

"Rose?"

"Yeah?"

"Get them out of here."

"What?"

"Take them home. I'll be along shortly.

Wesker smirks.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm going to finish this fight."

"You can't take him alone!"

"I can sure as hell try. Besides, they need you."

Rose nods. She pulls her parents away from the impending brawl about to erupt.

"Wait." Wesker puts his hand up. "I have something for the both of you."

He goes to a bookshelf. He pulls on a book, and small drawer slides out. He removes a tiny metal briefcase and holds it up. A lock releases, revealing a needle filled with a clear liquid.

"And that would be...what?" May asks.

"The antidote."

"To what?"

"Your mutation. With this, you would return to a normal life. Isn't that you have always wanted?"

Rose approaches and is transfixed.

"Even you, dear Rose, would be healed of your...deformities."

"Really?"

"What are your terms, Wesker? Surely, this isn't free."

"How wise of you. My terms are simply this: whoever accepts this, comes home with me."

Rose reached for the needle first.

"For 20 years, I have been waiting for this..."

It was within grasp...until May slapped her claw away!

"What?!"

"What are you thinking?!"

"Stay out of it, May!"

"Come on! You want to become Wesker's pawn? That could kill you for all you know!"

"I'll take that chance!"

"Why?"

"Look at me! I've been this way for 20 years! I'm tired of it!"

"You become human...in exchange for losing your soul?!"

"Damn right I would. I would marry the devil himself!"

"That's what you would be doing!"

"So be it."

"I'm sorry, Rose. I guess I expected more my big sister."

"You're expectations were way too damn high then."

She takes the needle. She turns around to face her family. May shaking her head in disgust. Her parents looking horrified. Mary Jane clings nervously to Peter. Rose preps the needle, aiming for her own neck.

May shakes her head at Rose, begging her not to do it.

Behind her, Wesker chuckles in satisfaction.

Looking up, Rose pivots, jamming the needle into Wesker's own neck! The plunger goes all the in, injecting the liquid into his veins. He screams in pain, and falls to his knees.

"If someone is injected with the antidote without being genetically modified, it acts like a poison. It won't kill him, but it'll give you an edge." Rose gathers up Peter and Mary-Jane, and prepares to make an exit.

"Make sure their safe."

"I will. Good luck." Rose swings away into the night, leaving Mae and Wesker alone.

After thrashing around on the floor, Wesker brings himself up to a kneeling position.

"It's over, Wesker! There's no one to help you now!"

"I don't need anyone else!" He slowly takes off his sunglasses, then promptly smashes them into the floor! "I have...the T-Virus!"

"T-Virus?"

Wesker rushes her! With no time to dodge, he punches her right in the chest, sending her into a wall.

"A new genesis was at hand...and I was to be its creator!"

"I think you've lost it!"

May rushes back to the battle. The poison intended to slow him down, just made him more angrier and violent. He warped in and out of thin air, dodging all her attacks. In a slight mistake, he caught her in a headlock.

"Please. Try harder."

He slams her into the ground. She springs back to her feet, just in time to catch of flurry of light punches, kicks, and swipes. He teleports all around her, delivering the volley. He scoops her up, and they go sailing into the air.

"Submit!"

"I don't think so!"

She kicks free, and wraps him up in webbing.

"Back to you!"

He rips his arms free, and flings her towards the open window. She goes sailing through it, and disappears from view. He goes to the window and looks around.

"That's impossible."

Out of nowhere, webbing shoots up, and drags him out the window! He begins plummeting several thousand feet to the ground.

"This...can't be!"

He smacks the ground, leaving a crater.

And doesn't move.

With her costume in tatters, Mae crawls back into the window, breathing heavily. She peers out at the falling rain, booming thunder, and flashing lightning.
