"I'm sorry, but what the hell did you just say?" Gwen hissed in disgust as soon as Wraith's words where registered into her brain.
"You could be a great ally to the Dragon Emperor, Gwen Stacey. With his leadership, just think what you could achieve. You could have anything you want: power, respect, wisdom. It's all out there just waiting for the taking, it's waiting for you Gwen." Wraith said in a smooth enticing tone.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and I want no part of it. As for respect, I don't need yours or your masters respect. Infinite wisdom is worthless if you cannot keep learning new things. That's three strikes Wraith, you'd better up your game." Gwen said in her own smooth tone.
"I wonder if Kevin would accept my offer." Wraith said as he rubbed his chin, and that made Gwen's blood turn ice cold, and her face contort to that of pure rage.
"Shut up!" Gwen hissed angrily.
"I see what my master has told me about your love for the boy is true, a shame his life was ended–" Wraith was cut off by Gwen bolting upright and trying to charge Wraith, only to be held in place by her enchanted bonds. "My what a temper, I wonder if he had the same fighting spirit you are showing me now." Wraith said in a curious tone as Gwen kept trying to rush at him, only to be held in place by her chains.
"When I get out of these chains!" Gwen hissed as she kept fighting against her chains.
"You would do what?" Wraith asked smoothly as he reached a hand down and unsheathed his dark bladed sword. "If you where to attack me, I could easily defeat you. I could easily torture you, and I could easily kill you... but I have orders not to do any of what I just listed... well not yet anyway." Wraith sighed as he imagined the options he had mentioned, but he quickly composed himself. "To get back on topic, how would you like to see the boy you love again?" Wraith asked in an almost sincere tone.
"Don't you dare insult my memory of him!" Gwen hissed angrily. "Of course I'd love to see him again, but he's gone, and you can't change that!" Gwen hissed again.
"What if I told you that it is possible? Imperious possess magic beyond even my wildest dreams. But even his magic is trumped by the power he possesses with the Infinity Stones. I assume your ally Vixen has told you about the power of the infinite six?" Wraith asked Gwen.
"Refresh my memory!" Gwen hissed.
"Each Infinity Stone on it's own has unlimited power, but together you become a god. The deepest desires of ones heart can come to fruition with the stones. One of the stones in particular: that being the Reality Stone, allows you to manipulate and bend reality to your will. Imagine Gwen Stacey, just imagine what you could create, you could mold and shape the world, be it the entire universe to your will–"
"Why are you telling me this?" Gwen asked in a sincerely curious tone.
"Imperious looks after his own. He would grant you the love you where denied by Sheath. Or even better, revenge against her. You will find this hard to believe, but my master believes in order and justice, a world free of want, free of pain–"
"At what cost? How much pain and suffering will you and your master create in order to bring about this 'Utopia?'" Gwen asked in a sincere tone.
"Aren't some lives worth taking in order to save many?" Wraith asked in his own sincere tone. "Like I was saying beforehand, wouldn't you like to see Kevin again? Take his hand in your own as you declare your love for him. Wouldn't you like to see what could have been if it not had been for that one fateful night?" Wraith asked with a very enticing tone, and Gwen couldn't help but feel the flutter in her heart as she couldn't help but imagine what could have been.
"I will admit you have my attention, but I would not damn my friends, family and Vixen for the life of one." Gwen said in a firm and convicted tone, which did not offend Wraith.
"I will leave you to your thoughts, but I leave you with this parting remark: all you have to do Gwen is join us, and we will give you back everything that this world took away..."
