12. Fight your Daughter

Blossom ducked MJ's initial attack, swinging round to watch her daughter side to a stop. In her mind, she knew there was no was she could fight her.

"MJ, please," she wailed, "I can explain!"

MJ turned round with her eyes burning with hatred and insanity. She spat and chucked her self at Blossom again. She had no option but to back off, taking the impacts of MJ's punches and kicks on her hands, trying to keep them off her body. Him cackled gleefully as Blossom found that see couldn't back off any further without passing though a wall, and being slightly distracted by this dilemma, she missed judged MJ's latest kick, and got smacked in the jaw.

It seemed to shatter immediately. Blossom grabbed it as she staggered off sideways. MJ fired some webbing, which grabbed Blossom by one hand and with a swift yank spun Blossom round, sending her to the floor.

She threw herself back to her feet, but MJ was quick enough to hit her again, sending her reeling again. She just managed to catch herself, and bring her hands up to block MJ's next attack, as the her kid swung another flurry of attacks.

It was infuriating in a way for Blossom. She could see so many openings in MJ's attacks, so many opportunities to strike back, opportunities she would normally take with out thinking. But she couldn't bring herself to hurt MJ. It was crazy. All she'd wanted to do was to protect MJ (and Edward) from this life, now she was fighting her.

"I don't want to hurt you MJ, I never wanted to hurt you!"

"Ah, but you did!" Him said smugly. "And now she's mine!" Blossom seethed. She had to find a way to stop MJ, and then that meddling bastard would get it big time! It was at about this point that she realised she'd once again backed off all the way across the caught yard, and was therefore out of room again.

This time she shot off upwards, causing MJ to punch the wall instead. She swung round to face MJ's oncoming attack, but it never came. MJ was scrambling on the wall staring at Blossom – who was hovering out of reach – and hissed at her. Only then did the obvious occur to Blossom, MJ didn't know how to fly!

"I'm going to stay up here until you calm down MJ!" She shouted. MJ hissed again, and then slung webbing at her. Blossom was rapped up in it and lobbed to the ground, slamming in to it hard. MJ then jumped on top of her, pinning her mother to the ground. And as Blossom desperately to get free, MJ smacked her round the head very hard. And again.

"AHHA, MJ, PLEASE," screamed Blossom, "I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, I JUST WANTED TO PROTECT YOU!"

MJ paused, a slither of humanity appearing in her eyes. Blossom's head lulled to one side, and she could see Edward in her eye line. Her oldest child hadn't even been watching the fight; he was staring at the ground, drawing on it with his finger, making burbling noises. He looked totally crushed, in his own separate world of pain.

"Edward… MJ…" she moaned, but Him cut her off, in his moment of triumph.

"Oh was a pity," he crooned, "neither of your children care about you anymore Blossom. It must hurt you so much, I can almost imagine your pain. Let me put you out of your misery!"

He clicked his claw, and the humanity in MJ's eyes vanished. She lunged, mouth open and teeth showing, for Blossom who flinched, ready for pain the pain.

It never came, because MJ was bundled off Blossom by her son. Edward and MJ rolled in a ball across the caught yard and smacked into a wall.

"You're not going to do that MJ!" Edward said through gritted teeth. MJ hissed at him in response, and was about to attack, when suddenly she seemed distracted. She was staring at somewhere in the middle distance, her eyes moving from side to side, as if following something. Blossom couldn't see it, but Him seemed to be staring at the same point.

"OI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" he screamed. Blossom had no idea who he was talking to, as she couldn't see them, but she had a plan now. All she had to was get out of this webbing.

I'm not particually happy with this story at the moment, so I'd apreciate some advice on how I can improve it slightly ,so please review. Thanks.
