Chapter 6: Guilty Conscience
Peter was in his living room as he stood in front of the three ladies. "Ladies I brought you all here because I wanted to show you all something amazing. Well that and because no one else wanted to. Regardless, feast your eyes on my new Spider Brace!" Peter said as he showed a device on his wrist.
"Wow you made a watch, congratulations", Pantha said with a bored expression.
"It's not a watch Pantha, its a brace", Peter said as started to press a button on it. "With it, I can transform into any of my suits at will. Just watch". Peter pressed another button on the device and his current Spider-Man suit changed to all black with with neon green lights on the suit.
"Whoa!" Vampi said in amazement. "What suit is this?"
"This is my stealth suit", Peter answered. "I have a few other suits programmed in it already so I can transform into it when I need to".
"What gave you the idea to make this?" Sonja asked.
"I honestly thought it would be a good idea to have this as it would be helpful to use suits with different abilities", Peter revealed.
"How were you able to make this?" Vampi asked.
"I work at Horizon Labs as a scientist. I usually try to craft different things to help others", Peter said with a smile. "It also helps that the pay is pretty good".
"How much do you make?" Vampi asked.
"I'd say about $20,000 every month", Peter said causing the three to go wide eyed in shock. "Yep, even I can't believe I have that much money". With that Peter turned off the device and his suit disappeared to reveal to brunette man with a smiling face. "With this, it can help us with fighting villains a lot easier especially since some villains are getting upgrades".
"Let's hope it works out that way", Pantha said.
"Peter I hope you don't mind but Pantha will needs new clothes. Could you be a dear and buy some clothes for her?" Vampi asked with a smile.
"I-I'm pretty sure Pantha can pick out her clothes just fine", Peter said.
"That may seem like it but truth be told Pantha has horrible taste in fashion. Look at what she's wearing currently", Vampi joked.
"Fuck you Elly. I look sexy and you know it", Pantha said with a frown.
"True, you do look sexy but do you want to wear that all the time?" Vampi asked with a smirk.
Pantha thought about it for a second and sighed before she spoke again. "Fine. I'll get some new clothes", Pantha said before she looked to Peter. "You better not peek when I'm changing you perv".
"Wow, I'm already being called a perv for no reason. What is this a bad harem anime?" Peter asked jokingly. Pantha growled at him in response. "Oh my God, relax I'm not gonna peek on you at. Just so you know, I'm picking out your clothes. You're picking out your under garments, alright?"
"Whatever, Pervy Parker", Pantha said.
"Now I know you are doing this on purpose", Peter said.
"Yeah, I you won't stop me", Pantha said with a small smirk.
"Oh my God, let's just go", Peter said as he and Pantha headed for the door. "Sonja, Vee, don't do anything crazy while we're gone".
"Relax we know what to do", Vampi said as she sat with Sonja on the couch. "Also Pantha, treat Peter well on your date".
"Fuck you Elly, it's not date", Pantha said.
"Language", Vampi said with a smirk. With that Peter and Pantha left the house. "So ever played strip poker?" Sonja had a weird feeling about Vampi being left alone with her.
Elsewhere
Purgatori was not happy. That's called an understatement. A slightly less understatement is saying she was pissed. "How could you possibly fail?! You all had ONE JOB! Kill the false Vampire and the Spider", Purgatori yelled in anger.
"That Spider was a lot stronger than he let's on", Jade said as she was rubbing her eyes.
"And you call yourself a vampire Jade. I should've known better than to trust you with anything", Purgatori said as she walked to her make shift throne.
"Then how about you fight him then? Are you afraid of fighting him at all Miss drinks the blood of gods?" Jade challenged.
"He's not worth my time and I'd be careful if I were you Jade. I made you who you are and I can also destroy you", Purgatori said with a glare.
"I'd like to see you try bitch", Jade said with an glare as she conjured green fireballs. Purgatori turned to face her when Chastity got in between them both.
"Enough. Let's focus on the Spider and his friends", Chastity said. "Let's not forget, we have someone dealing with Lady Death right now. If she's inside Lady Death then we have a shot".
"Agreed. Let's make sure she can't get any allies by having someone cause a distraction", Draculina said as she walked forward.
"Leave it to me", a voice called out. Another woman appeared. "It's about time I got to see Pantha again and show her pain".
"And you'll do perfectly", Draculina said with an evil smirk.
with Peter and Pantha
Peter and Pantha were currently at the mall with Peter picking out clothes for Pantha. Pantha made sure to wear a trench coat as she didn't have any other clothes to wear except her usual clothes. Pantha walked to Peter as he had gathered about five pants and five shirts and showed him what she had.
"Are you done yet?" Pantha asked as she had several pairs of panties and bras.
"Just about done. All I need to do is pay for this and that will about it", Peter said as Pantha started to place her undergarments into cart. "It's weird that I'm buying clothes for just you when I should be buying Vampi clothes as well".
"You can try but she'll probably just wear her bikini instead", Pantha said as she lead the way to a check out. "Elly doesn't doesn't like to wear clothes at all. She wears her bikini mainly because it keeps her mobile and believes that people wear too much clothing. I usually don't like wearing anything else other than a bikini myself but I actually do wear other clothes just so nobody bitches or complains about it".
"You no when you put it like that I can kinda understand why", Peter said as he followed her.
"Although I also happen to Egyptian so I was brought up in usually hot weather", Pantha said as she and Peter began to check out the clothes. The two managed to pay for the clothes before heading for the exit.
"Yeah Elly mentioned that to me once and said that you are a goddess apparently", Peter said as he and Pantha were about to leave.
"I'm a minor goddess. I worshiped Ra and tried to gain favor with him and the other gods", Pantha said before she stopped walking and looked at the ground. Peter wondered what was going on when she spoke again. "Let's just say that I did horrible things in the past that even you would horrible and would question whether I should be out on the streets".
"What do you mean by that?" Peter asked in concern.
"Just forget about it. Trust me the less you know, the better you are not knowing", Pantha said as she began to walk forward when she smelled someone's presence. "Webs we are not alone".
"I know. My Spider-Sense is tingling like crazy", Peter said as his Spider Sense was going off. Soon enough large snakes appeared to attack them. "Look out!" Peter and Pantha began to avoid the giant snakes as much as possible only for Peter to be grabbed and thrown away by a giant snake.
"Peter!" Pantha yelled before her attention was pulled to the snake woman that appeared. "You!" Pantha growled in rage as she changed into her panther form while the woman in front of her smiled.
"Pantha, it's been a while. I thought for sure you would died in the other world", the woman said as her snakes surrounded Pantha. "I don't like that you're still alive. However it's more than fine because your old friend Mamba is here to correct that".
"You'll try and fail bitch", Pantha said with a growl before she charged ahead. Pantha continued to avoid the large snakes, slashing a few in her way, as she leapt to attack Mamba. Pantha went to slash her but Mamba caught her in mid air.
"Nice try Pantha", Mamba taunted before grabbing Pantha by her ankle. "But you'll have to do better then that!" Mamba began hurling Pantha around in the air before she slammed her onto the ground.
Pantha coughed up blood as she tried to get back up. Before she could two snakes bit into Pantha's right thigh and left shoulder. Pantha roared in pain as two more snakes bit her before all four wrapped around Pantha's body to restrain her.
"Oh Pantha you have no idea how much I wanted to this day to come", Mamba said with an evil smile. "I will finally get my revenge on you!"
"Sorry that won't be happening today lady". Mamba looked to a red foot before she was kicked in the face. Pantha was webbed upwards as Peter (as Spider-Man) grabbed the snake's by the head and crushed them. "Always take out a snake by the head". Pantha was able to free to herself and stood beside Peter. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine", Pantha said as she got back up.
"Those were rattle snakes with large fangs. How are you fine?"
"Goddess, remember?" Pantha questioned with a smirk.
"Right", Peter said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "So ready to kick ass?" Mamba was getting back up as Pantha started to crack her knuckles.
"Hell yeah", Pantha had a large smirk on her face as Mamba had her snakes attack them. The two continued to fight the large snakes with Peter and Pantha defeating most of them. Pantha slashed two in front of her and three behind her and managed to decapitate them all while Peter webbed them down his webbing for Pantha to kill.
They continued doing this until Peter had an idea. "Pantha go high!" Pantha ran up to Peter with Peter using his strength to launch her in the air at Mamba. Using that opportunity, Peter rapid fire shot taser webs at the snakes to stun them. Peter managed to shoot a taser web at Mamba's face to stun her before Pantha slashed her face with her claws.
Mamba fell to the ground with her snakes slithering back towards her. "How are you still able to defeat me?!" Mamba asked with a glare.
"It's over Mamba and this time I'm making sure that what I say is permanent", Pantha said as she slowly walked towards Mamba with her claws extended. Before she could, the snakes jumped out and bit Pantha in the neck. "AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Pantha fell to her knees as the snakes returned to Mamba.
"Hold on Pantha, I got you", Peter said as he grabbed her and helped her up.
"You would help someone like her human? You must be foolish to think she's someone to befriend", Mamba said as she began to get up. "Hopefully you'll learn that before she slaughters you too like she always does".
"Leave now before I get angry lady. Trust me, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry", Peter said in a serious tone.
Mamba managed to get to her feet and looked at Peter with a smirk. "It doesn't matter. As much as I'd like to kill Pantha, I was just here to buy time. I'm sure Purgatori will deal with you all herself", Mamba said as she created a portal to escape.
"Come on Pantha let's go", Peter said as he helped her to the car so they could leave.
with Lady Death
Lady Death was alone in an unknown area meditating. Soon enough, Lady Death spoke. "Are you going to come out and face me or will I have to kill you later?" Lady Death said.
"You'll probably have to kill me because I have every to kill you Lady Death". Lady Death stopped meditating and turned to see who it was. The person was a woman with demonic features. She had wings and horns, wore black clothing, and had tan-like orange skin. The bra she wore was covered in small spikes.
Lady Death instantly knew who this person was and drew her sword to confront her. "Hellwitch, I should've known you'd survive".
"Your mistake is that you thought I'd die so easily", Hellwitch roared as she charged forward and tackled her to the ground.
Hellwitch proceeded to attack Lady Death by punching her several times before Lady Death headbutt her in the nose to stun her. Lady Death used that moment to kick her off of her. She rolled backwards to stand upwards before using her sword to blast magic at Hellwitch.
"And your mistake was that you believed you have power or strength to kill me!" Lady Death yelled as she continued to blast at her with magic bolts. Hellwitch continued to avoid the attacks before blasting magic at her as well.
The two continued to blast magic bolts at each other until Lady Death charged at Hellwitch with her sword and managed to stab her in the shoulder. "GAHHHHHHHHHHH! You'll regret doing this you bitch!" Hellwitch yelled in anger.
"I'm going to do a lot more than just this if you don't tell me why you decided to attack me", Lady Death demanded an answer.
"Simple I came here to check on someone", Hellwitch said as her glare morphed into an evil smile. Lady Death's eyes widened as she realized what she meant. Before she could react, Hellwitch used her clawed hands to grab Lady Death's head. Lady Death yelled in pain as Hellwitch smiled. "Looks like you haven't completely gotten rid of her huh?"
"You're not setting her free!" Lady Death said before she pulled her sword out of Hellwitch's should and attempted to stab her in the face.
"Love to argue but I gotta go", Hellwitch said with a smirk as she created a portal underneath her and she fell through it. "We'll see each other again soon Hope! Hahahahah!" With that the portal closed.
"Dammit! I should've realized her intentions from the start!" Lady Death said to herself. She felt a pain at the side of her head and glared at the ground. "You are not getting out anytime soon. I'll make sure of it". With that Lady Death created a portal to leave.
with Peter & Pantha
Peter and Pantha managed to get the house where Peter talked to Sonja and Vampi about Mamba and that they got the clothes Pantha needed. Pantha was still hurt from the multiple bites to the neck from Mamba's snakes so she needed to heal for a bit.
Peter walked into the room and gave Pantha a glass of water for her. "Hey have some water if you need something to drink", Peter said. Pantha didn't respond as she turned away from him. "Look if this is about what Mamba said, relax. She's not turning me on you at all. While we got off on the wrong foot, I will say you are pretty cool to be around Pantha and I do think of you as a friend. Just don't let what she said get to you".
Peter turned to leave when Pantha spoke. "Everything Mamba said was true about me. The truth is I slaughter many people back then Peter", Pantha said with a disappointed look. She didn't want Peter to look her in the eyes. "I killed many people who were not deserving of it and didn't care who I killed. I did it all in the name of Ra and as a consequence for my arrogance I was curse to live forever. Can't say that I blame him though after everything I did and all the lives I regret taking. Can you honestly still call me a friend?"
Pantha expected Peter to at least walk out of the room. She expected him to call her a horrible being and worse. Hell she even expected for Peter to lie to her while secretly thinking she's a monster.
She did not expect for Peter to do this.
Peter walked over to her and hugged Pantha. This act caught her off guard. "I'll admit that seems horrible but you recognize that and regret that decision. Pantha I don't hate you at all. All I ask is that you learn to forgive yourself", Peter said to her.
Pantha was overwhelmed by this and didn't know what to say. Peter let go her and stood up so he could make his way to the door.
"If you need anything Pantha let me know", Peter said before he began to leave. Peter made it to the door when he felt a hand grab his. Pantha stood behind and held his hand. "Pantha?"
"Could you stay with me for a few more moments?" Pantha asked as she looked away.
"Of course", Peter said as he stayed with her. Pantha laid her head on his arm as tears started to form.
"Thank you Peter", Pantha said to him gently. Peter smiled as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Peter and Pantha stayed like that for a while Sonja and Elly watched from a far.
"Should we go talk to them?" Sonja whispered.
"No, no, let them have their moment together", Vampi said she was watching this happen. Pantha knew the two were watching and flipped Vampi off. "I love you too Pantha". Vampi made sure to whisper it and knew that Pantha would hear.
Next time... Peter talks with the other heroes and Lady Death visits Peter's place. Plus a phone call is made to Peter.
Mamba is an enemy Pantha who first appeared Pantha's miniseries back in the late 1990's. She's a Snake Goddess who wants to see Pantha dead. Hellwitch is a demon that hates humans and wants to kill Lady Death.
Also to those reading this story, I have decided not to post the next two VSS chapters until next month. I will be updating other stories until then.
