I don't own Spiderman.
Mischief in the Making
Chapter 2
Jo woke with a startled yelp, which sounded very much like a yip from a dog, she quickly went to look in the mirror. Her hair was a bit silkier, as she moved to push it behind her ears, she gasped. Her ears were no longer where they used to be; instead, there were now cute little fox ears on the top of her head. When she had a chance to look, she found she had fangs. Quickly she began to check for a tail or any other abnormalities, but else nothing seemed out of order, except for her sense of smell, sight, and hearing were enhanced as was her strength and speed. "Where did these come from?" Jo touched one of her fangs lightly, it was very sharp. "It must have been that fox… Oh no! I bet it was from one of the illegal labs that were raided! I really wish I knew exactly what I've turned into. I'm not human, anymore…"
"Sis! You okay?" Jo could smell Jeri had been crying.
"Just let me freshen up a bit before you come in, Jeri," Jo quickly ran a brush through her hair and gently tugged a baseball cap over her new ears. She opened the door slowly and hugged Jeri.
"Sis, you're squeezing me to death!" Jeri gasped in surprise.
Jo quickly released her hold on her brother; only to turn and find a very worried looking TJ, "TJ, what's wrong?"
"Oh Jo!" TJ wrapped his arms tightly around her, "You had me so worried… What would I have done without my best friend?"
"TJ, you big goof," Jo gently patted his back. "Now, I think I'm going to eat something and go for a jog. Why don't you two just get some rest? You look like death TJ, and Jeri looks like he's following you."
"Okay, Jo…" TJ yawned and dragged Jeri off to bed.
"Why, oh why, do I have to live in Spiderman's hometown?" Jo muttered as she quickly ran into the kitchen and grabbed three slices of salami and a glass of water. Quickly downing her little snack, she popped a tic tac into her mouth and took off on her jog to test out her new abilities. "Maybe Spiderman could help me…" Jo mumbled to herself as she used her newfound strength and speed to jump onto a roof and watch for the web slinging hero. Her sense of smell told her someone was coming, but she wasn't sure who, so she hid.
"Show your self!" a voice snarled.
A growl produced itself from Jo's throat, but it wasn't loud enough to alert the… Jo quickly glanced out from behind her smokestack to see the Yellow Goblin. She quickly took in his scent, imprinting it in her memory. Surprised at her own instincts, Jo gasped in surprise. Goblin heard her and threw a bomb at her. She dodged it with ease and grace. Jo growled low, "It's not nice to try to blow apart something that you don't understand."
"Oh, are you another hero?" Goblin sneered, unable to see Jo's face because of the shadows. Goblin attacked again. Jo growled angrily, as she used her speed and swiped her claws across his chest armor; slicing it to ribbons.
Suddenly Spiderman appeared, "Whoa! Who started the party without me?" Spiderman shot out a web net to capture both Goblin and Jo, but Jo moved too quickly. "Whoa! That's new! A villain who can…"
"Who said I was a villain!" Jo growled out angrily as she stood next to him. Spiderman turned and stared at her two luminous eyes and fangs in shock. "I'm not a vamp either!"
"Vamp?" Spiderman blinked in confusion. "Hold up, you're telling me that you're not a villain or a vampire?"
"Yes! I was just up here, waiting to talk to you and then Goblin appeared. I didn't want to fight, but he through a friggin bomb at me!" Jo was definitely not happy.
"Hold up, you were waiting for me?" Spiderman blinked in surprise.
"I wasn't exactly born with fangs, claws, and…" Jo growled as she turned her gaze back to the Goblin. He had gotten free of some of the webbing, and a bomb was headed right toward them. Jo grabbed Spiderman and in a flash they were away from the blast, but the Goblin got away.
"Okay…" Spiderman was in slight shock. "What are you?"
"That's one of the things I have yet to figure out. I was normal yesterday, but I figured out how I became this… demon…" Jo sighed. "I was bitten by a fox. Someone illegally experimented on it. I was hoping that you could help me. I figured something similar must have happened to you, but only less noticeable. I'm not sure I'm even human anymore."
"Okay, well, since you don't want to tell me your name, I'll call you…"
"Just call me Kitsune, it means fox demon. Do you have any idea of where I should start?" Jo aka Kitsune sighed.
"I'd go back to find the fox that bit you, if you can, and track down the last people that had it."
A faint weeping sound bounced in Jo's ears, "Crud, I gotta go."
"So, how are we going to stay in contact?" Spiderman frowned.
"I'll find you," Jo chuckled and took off, leaving no trail for Spidy to follow.
"What does she really want? Who could she be? I better do some research on the name 'Kitsune' and figure out where it originates…" Spiderman listed off things he should do over the next few hours.
