The Silver Phoenix felt pretty bad that she let the Chameleon and Venom get away. It was then when she realized she did need moves. She didn't know anything about fighting. So she decided to visit Doyle Brennigan and reconsider his offer.

"Mr. Brennigan?" she called entering his hospital room.

"Oh, it's you!" he said in a groggy voice, "Silver Phoenix."

She smiled and said, "Yep. So how are you feeling."

"Pretty good, though I've had better days." He tried to laugh a bit.

"I changed my mind," she said suddenly, "I would like you to teach me some fighting moves."

"I figured you might return wanting my help." He coughed. "I'll be released in two days, but I'll teach you a few things here in words."

Silver Phoenix smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Brennigan."

"Call me Doyle."

A few days later-

Marie stormed down the corridor of the school on her way to the parking lot. She passed Peter Parker, who noticed her foul mood and asked, "What's wrong."

"It's Saidie!" she almost yelled at the top of her lungs. "That's the forth time she's ditched me after school. I think something's up, but she won't talk to me!"

"Yea, me too. I tried to call her everyday after the night of the party, but she's never home." He said.

"Something's got to be up, and I'm going to figure out what it is!"

Everyday after school, Saidie would put on her armor and go to Doyle's house to train. Now that he was out of the hospital, he took the Phoenix to the large gym in his basement for physical training. She didn't tell her friends where she was and what she was doing because they'd get suspicious. She just had to think of a really good lie when the time came.

And that time came on a Friday afternoon, Marie left school early to catch Saidie at her house. She waited at her front door until she came home.

"Marie!" she exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

"Being a friend and worrying about you." She replied.

Saidie dropped her head and knew what this was going to be about.

"What's going on with you?"

Saidie tried thinking of what to say, but she drew a blank, "Wh-what do you mean?"

Marie grabbed her by the shoulders, "You know what I mean! Where do you go everyday after school?! Are you avoiding me?"

"No, of course not."

"What about Peter?"

Saidie looked at her with a curious visage, "What about Peter?"

"He's worried sick about you too!"

"He is?"

"He tries to call you every afternoon, but you're off to I don't know where!" Marie's voice softened, "I just wish you'd talk to us. Tell me what's going on."

"I-uh met this guy, Doyle." Saidie said but thought, 'Crap, I didn't mean to mention his name!'

"Doyle? Who's Doyle?"

Saidie had to think fast, who could Doyle be. "He's uh, he's, umm."

"Well."

"He's my boyfriend!" she blurted out.

"What? So that's where you've been?"

"Uh, yea." Saidie replied nervously and thought, 'Stupid, stupid answer Saidie. You couldn't of thought of anything better?'

"Jeez, I wish you would have just told me in the first place."

"I'm sorry. I should have told you. But he's expecting me now."

"Alright, alright," Marie sighed, "Just don't forget about your friends."

"I won't. I'll meet you at Don's Burger Joint at one o' clock tomorrow, okay?"

Marie winked at her, "It's a date."

She watched Saidie go into her apartment and shook her head sadly. "Peter won't like this." She said to herself.

Marie went back to the school parking lot, where Peter was waiting for her news on Saidie.

"Well," he said right away.

Marie looked into his desperate eyes and knew she couldn't break him with the hard truth just yet.

"I didn't see her." She said turning away from his face.

"What?"

"She didn't come to her apartment. But she left me a note that said she would meet us at Don's Burger Joint at one o' clock."

"Alright!" he said happily, "Thanks Marie!"

After a week and a half of straight training, Silver Phoenix was back in the air. She practiced kicking and punching and somersaulting in the air and some on building tops. She just happened to be noticed by a little red and blue Spider-man who was swinging by. He landed beside her on top of a skyscraper.

"Silver Phoenix?" he made sure he got her name right.

"Spider-man?" she said, smiling.

"Listen, I wanted to apologize for what happened at the party a while ago. I didn't mean to get angry at you. I know you were just trying to help."

She laughed, bowed and said in a Japanese man's voice, "You are forgiven." Her voice changed to her own, "I know the Chameleon and Venom are up to something big."

"Yea, I figured that too."

Phoenix grabbed Spider-man's arm, "I want to help you!"

He realized the Phoenix really wanted to help or at least try, so he said, "Sure, just try not to get in the way."



"Thank you, Smerdyakov, Brock, and Dillon. The plan worked perfectly and the Eye of Rah is in my grasp!" Doctor Octopus went on, "Now, gentlemen I can use the diamond to power the laser that I have created. We will put this laser on top of the Chrysler building and fire it over New York. The laser will emit a beam that will leave anyone it touches powerless. Including that blasted web-slinger! Electro, Chameleon and I will stay near the laser and protect it. In the twenty minutes you have, Venom and Green Goblin must destroy Spider-man!"

Twisted smiles smeared over the black and green faces just named to kill their enemy.

"Wait, why can't I kill Spider-man?" Electro whined.

"Because, you need to stay near the laser to charge it." Doc Ock explained.

Chameleon spoke up, "What do I need to do?"

"Disguise yourself of some authority and keep anyone from reaching us on the roof."

Chameleon smiled, "You're all forgetting one thing."

"What?" Doc Ock hissed, knowing there was no flaw to his plan.

"That newbie, Silver Phoenix. She's inexperienced, but she could be a problem."

"It's true, we saw her as well." Venom said.

Octavius smirked, "Well then, she'll just need to be taken care of. Goblin, you should do it."

Green Goblin pounded a fist on the table, "What?!" he yelled, outraged, "I need to kill Spider-man, I want to see him suffer!"

"Calm down, I meant for you to take care of her as soon as possible. Get her out of the way, then we will proceed." Doc Ock let out a howling laughter as the others joined in as well.

To be continued.

Hey ya'll! Just a little reminder that I don't own the guys, well you know their names, but I do own the ones that you've never heard of before.
