Author's Note: This chapter is slightly shorter than expected, indeed I consider it a necessary interlude for Taylor.
After this chapter there will be a beautiful and classic fist fight between heroes and villains with no holds barred.

Guest: You gave a helpful constructive criticism, thank you for the advice.
xavier0jim: This version of Worm is a little more embellished and lively.
America is chock full of local counterparts of Disney characters, Nickeloden and Cartoon Network, they will do something to lighten the world.
Plus there is the Hellsing and Alucard organization in Europe to fix a continent and keep it functioning.
Above all I'm not able to write sad and depressing stories, I'm a fan of the classic happy ending and Manga Shonen.
TyrTheFallen: Glad to see my story has potential for you. But I will not change my protagonist, he will remain an eccentric madman, but with moments in here he will be much more serious.
RedBurningDragon: I prefer the Alucard which is closer to the Manga version, I'm thinking of making it appear in the story, not right away, it will ruin the balance of Brockton Bay, but an appearance in here talks to Sir Integra about anomalies or a bad feeling can work.
According to your view, Taiga is currently more of an animal obedient to his impulses, thinking less and acting more. He will surely fight like a beast early in his career.
The YoRHa Module is not permanent, actually an alternative form that can be deactivated and reactive at will.
But Iron-Star's humanity will be at risk in the next chapter, there will be some divine changes in him. Iron-Star thanks you have mental powers he manages to suppress his ethical problems about what he is becoming or who he really is now.
He focuses on hero work and is subconsciously using writing and having fun with Parian to have a break.
But eventually he will look in the mirror and he will see the changes that are transforming him into a completely different person.
Coil will initiate his move, causing a huge fight between the Capes, big mistake because: "The more I am in danger, the stronger he got." - The famous words of Iron-Star.
Trpstar: My Hero Academia and the Dungeon will enter the scene after that
In the next chapter, Harold Hellsing Holmes, will undergo a major change, will gain a new name, Odinson.
We can say that his path to becoming a Celestial has just begun with a step the size of a Viking.
I admit that I may have overdone the flirting and couple moments in the previous chapter. But Holmes spent a messy night with the Truth, Rachel Alucard and Valkenhayn.
Then in the morning Taiga appeared.
The protagonist deserves a little moment of relaxation in which he can act like a normal nerdy idiot who enjoys joking with Parian.
Because from now on, things get more complicated, let's say that Taylor won't be a normal girl with a flirty schoolgirl role for long.

Chapter 18.1: The Spider's Bite.
Alternate title: The arrival of the spider, the divine and the jesters.
POV Narrator
In a higher plane of existence, a place where mortals don't have to set foot because their minds can't handle the Eldrich essence of the place, there is a huge web.
This web is composed of pure metaphysical energy that passes through all of creation, indeed the web itself passes through the omniverse, connecting and holding together the entire existence.
The place is a representation of the Web of Life and Destiny, a three-dimensional construct in five-dimensional space that serves as a model of the entire Multiverse and allows travel between realities.
This is where the Spider-Totems meet, a class of multiverse supernatural entities linked to a mystical force of the Web of Life and Destiny.
There are three titanic creatures in the form of spiders right now.
The three of them are the Keeper, the Pattern Maker and the Bride, each of them having a task to accomplish for the Web of Life and Destiny.
The Keeper is responsible for controlling the mystical forces, and chooses which totemic avatars are worthy of their powers.
The Bride plays the role of weaving hidden threads, allowing Spider Totems to arise through chance, magic, curses or unwanted luck.
The Pattern Maker reads the connection threads of the Web and forges them into something stronger, improving the already existing connection between spider-totems; and is also responsible for repairing the web should anything happen to it.
"A new one has connected to the Web of Life and Destiny. We need to weave new threads, new networks." Explained the Pattern Maker, sounding excitement for the new expansion.
"The time has come to choose new Champions, the three of us are the first to choose our new Avatars." Said the Keeper, sounding like a company boss who just wants to do his job, nothing more, nothing less.
"A young woman just in love, with a passion for weaving clothes for her like her and compromised by a stupid parasite, but I can solve it and teach her how to really weave." Said the Weaver, starting to weave new threads for his new protege.
"A growing young girl, almost broken by the weight of life, but the wounds are postponing. A higher connection to the spider kingdom, not yet infected with the parasites of her world. It will be hard work but I am turning her into a force to be do not underestimate Taylor Hebert, fate will play with you or it would be you to pull the strings of fate. " Said the Keeper, analyzing his chosen champion.
"Mad bride who is your husband?" He asked the Pattern Maker, noting that the Bride said nothing.
"My betrothed is one of the Children of Odin, blessed by the same Web of Life and Destiny to have great powers, his attitude is quite funny." The Bride replied, in an intrigued tone that promises nothing good.
"The Bride finally found a bridegroom just as mad as herself." Commented the pattern maker.
"Crazy, weird, eccentric, abnormal, but he will be able to deal with all of our powers and abilities. He will have a connection with all of our avatars. His very existence is of great importance to the" Web of Destiny "and the realities it encompasses. Its appearance that brought about the great change in the "Net", being the center of great changes to come. " The Bride declared, protecting her Avatar from slander.
"I admit that your chosen one is an interesting case. He is connected to so many threads of fate and destiny, he is practically wrapped in them. He will encounter many dangers and now I understand why he is at the center of the web." Explained the Pattern Maker, using his power to analyze the threads of the bride's chosen one.
"Stop chatting. We have a job to do, first my champion, then it's up to the Pattern Maker, Bride will be the last to bless your Avatar." The Custos declared, interrupting the discussion among his fellow workers.

Returning to the world of Worms.
While Holmes has gone to do business with him that will lead him to meet Taiga and have fun with Parian in a virtual world.
Taylor went to meet her new friend, Lisa.
Tay-Tay's goal is to get a little female help for her (hormonal) heart problems.
Lisa's aim is to find out if the infamous Holmes Taylor speaks of here is a Parahuman. If so, what kind of Parahuman and how can he use it to soar from Coil.
In a short time Taylor arrived in front of the library, finding Lisa waiting for her.
"Hi, Lisa ... I hope I didn't keep you waiting." She told Taylor, not knowing what to say to start a discussion regarding her problems.
'How do I ask her that I need advice on how to deal with the most beautiful, cute and nerdy guy in the world who seems capable of doing anything?' Taylor thought, exaggerating Holmes' qualities.
"Hi Taylor, it's nice to see you, schedule a meeting the next day, did you miss me so much?" Lisa declared, with the usual vulpine smile printed on her face.
Taylor did not immediately answer Lisa's question, for a moment she remained silent, blushing with embarrassment.
Ironically, a shy Hebert is the victim of a blonde's joking flirtations, while a Holmes is the joking flirting aggressor for a shy brunette.
"I ... am not interested in being in a relationship. I need advice on how to deal with a ... friend ... male." Taylor replied, still with red cheeks.
[Lie. Trying to lie to herself to maintain the little self-control she has recently gained. Disgust and self-doubt, she wants help talking to Holmes, she doesn't want help getting Holmes. Contradicting wishes.] Lisa's Tinker power kicked in starting to scan Taylor.
"A boy, my call to help you win a man's heart, how cruel of you. I thought there was something true between us, but you just want to use me. My father was right about you!" She joked Lisa, playing drama, imitating a character from a Spanish soap opera.
"If you want to make me laugh you have to do it better, I'm used to seeing worse than this." Taylor replied, smiling faintly at Lisa's antics, living with the eccentric Holmes for several weeks, Taylor learned to live with an "art-loving mad nerd with big dreams".
[Truth. The dramatic act designed to make her laugh made her relax her, making her remember someone he really likes.
Taylor likes Holmes, Taylor unconsciously appreciates out-of-the-ordinary personalities. Holmes is an eccentric dude who stands out easily.]
"Interesting. Now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way, what do you say if we go to the bar I mentioned?" Lisa said, wanting to go to a more private place to ask questions and gather information.
"Not sure what kind of bars you go to?" She asked Taylor, not too thrilled to walk into a nightclub or other crowded place.
[Discomfort in crowded environments, especially if frequented and / or occupied by people of her age.
Reluctance and possible rejection if Taylor doesn't push.]
"It's not a bar or a nightclub, it's just a nice little coffee shop, the place is run by an old senior named, Yoshimura. Come on, Tay-Tay, you're sure to like it." She offered Lisa, with a bright smile and a friendly tone.
After a few moments of hesitation, Taylor started walking beside her and slightly behind Lisa.
Along the way Taylor began to shift his gaze from the street to Lisa's long legs, then to her butt. Her gaze is full of envy and ... desire.
'Because I can't be like Lisa or Emma. The latter may be a cheating bitch, but she is very attractive.
Lisa is also very beautiful, nice long legs and a well built butt, almost as good as Holmes ... What am I thinking! With these thoughts in mind, Taylor started shaking his head, trying to throw out the "bad" thoughts.
In doing so, Taylor didn't see the light pole until it was too late.
SMASH
Taylor's nose and the rest of her face hit a full light post. She then fell to the floor, luckily she didn't hit her head, but she fell so that she had a perfect view of Lisa's underwear, then her nose started to bleed.
'I am having a nosebleed while in such a position, this situation cannot get worse.' Taylor thought, realizing that in this setting she appears to be some kind of dirty pervert.
"Do you like what you see?" She asked Lisa, joking to calm down that she seems on the verge of tears, but it only makes the situation worse.
"It happened again! I can't even walk down the street without making any problems." She muttered Taylor, wanting to die on the spot or hide in her room until her 18th birthday.
"Take my hand, I'll take you to the coffee shop, ask for some ice and maybe some aspirin." She said Lisa, helping Taylor up and holding her hand. This time the attempt to calm Taylor worked, the miracles of what happens without using dirty jokes or words with double meanings.
After a few minutes of embarrassing silence, Lisa and Taylor arrived in front of a small room.
On the surface, the coffee shop looks innocent, simple and pleasant. The place has two floors and a basement. The ground floor was the bar itself, where customers come in and coffee is made.
Across the street is a brand new model shop, FAG, which seems to attract a bunch of nerdy customers.
The models must be incredibly good or the quirkyly decorated vending machine, with Toaru Majutsu no Index, is selling first-rate sodas.
"Tay-Tay, this is Anteiku. I recently found it. The best coffee in town, without a doubt." Lisa declared, opening the door to the club and pulling Taylor behind her.
"Hi, Lisa, I see you brought a friend with you, I'll prepare the usual or you want something special." She asked Yoshimura, the manager of the coffee shop.
Yoshimura or Kuzen for friends, is an old man with white hair swept back and usually his eyes are closed. A tall, powerful man who usually wears a formal waiter's uniform.
"Give me the best coffee and the best cookies you have, also add an aspirin and a pack of ice for my friend, she just fell out." He said Lisa, failing to mention all the embarrassing things that happened to Taylor to get a broken nose.
"Why don't you go find us a table?" She asked Lisa, turning to Taylor that she is trying to ignore the throbbing pain coming from her nose, unaware that she is waiting for even worse pain.
XXX
A few minutes later.
Taylor found herself with a patch over her nose and is waiting for Lisa to come back with the coffees.
"I hope the coffee helps you get over the pain." She said Lisa, sliding into the chair across from Taylor, turning the tray so that she stretched out over the tabletop.
"Thank you, the place is very nice and quiet, I like it, maybe I can ask Holmes to come here for lunch." She said Taylor, grabbing a cup of black latte macchiato coffee, thinking her second cousin might like the place.
"So. Did you ... said there was something you still wanted to talk about?" She asked Lisa, getting straight to the point.
Over the next few minutes Taylor explained again how she entered Holmes' room while he changed clothes and how she panicked, lost a nosebleed and threw the Frankenstein book right in the face of Holmes.
"I understand why you wanted to talk to me. You screwed up, normally the girl is that surprise half naked and the intruder must be the one hit." She said Lisa, joking about what happened to Taylor.
From what we can see, Holmes has to play the role of the woman when it comes to the usual comic gags.
"Don't remember me, I am dying of shame, I haven't spoken to him all evening and if it weren't for his divine Pancakes I would have avoided breakfast." She said Taylor, recalling the divine breakfast she ate a few hours ago, starting to salivate unwittingly.
[Taylor's nose is healing ten times faster than normal. Combined with the excessive response to the memory of breakfast, Taylor could be a Tinker's guinea pig.] Lisa's Tinker power, she decides to throw her own little bombs to break her peace of mind.
"They must be first class Pancakes. Does this Holmes cook often?" She asked Lisa, pretending to be just curious and not planning a complex emotional manipulation plan.
"Yes, breakfast, lunch and dinner. He practically took control of the kitchen, I'm not complaining, the food got better and better. I think he will start building a vegetable garden behind the house to obtain higher quality ingredients." Taylor replied, without thinking about what it can mean for a guy to cook all your meals, Holmes's divine food seems to have excellent physical effects at the expense of losing self-control.
[Holmes lives with the Heberts. He could be a Tinker with a major in chemistry or a Master who uses his food prepared with his hands to influence his victims.]
"Taylor, do you by any chance live with this Holmes?" She asked Lisa, pretending to be worried, which is not too difficult to do with a Tinker / Master on the loose for weeks.
"How did you find out !?" She asked Taylor, not realizing that she had given all the clues to Lisa, during her harmless chat.
"You said that Holmes seems to be cooking all three floors of the day for weeks and that you haven't talked to him all evening and morning. Plus some little facts I've noticed in our chat." She stated Lisa, pretending to be intelligent, with a good memory and that she is not using her powers to unearth Taylor's secrets.
"Due to an unfortunate accident a few weeks ago, Holmes lost his parents. My father being a friend of the family ended up becoming Holmes' legal guardian. So Holmes started living with my father and me." She explained Taylor, omitting that Holmes is a distant cousin of her or that it was an Endbringers who made him orphan.
[Half truth, Taylor doesn't want to fully explain Holmes's origin.]
"Poor fellow, I'm sorry for him. Were there any problems with Holmes? Sometimes people who have gone through losses can manifest self-destructive tendencies or problems settling in." She asked Lisa, wanting to understand how recently Holmes' triggering event may have happened, based on unusual habits.
"Holmes had no problem, well at first I wanted to take a bus and get out of Brockton Bay, calling the city a time bomb.
But after a chat with my dad and a nap, Holmes fit perfectly into my life.
In fact, I think I was the one who had trouble adjusting to the new family dynamics.
But after a few days I started to know him.
Holmes is a beautiful and very attractive guy, with his golden hair, emerald eyes, his exotic accent, such a kind smile.
But his heart is even more beautiful.
He is very kind and reliable. He practically takes care of the house and all the household chores. Thanks to him, my dad and I started talking to each other again, which hasn't happened since Mom was alive.
Certainly Holmes isn't perfect, he sucks at any fighting video game and acts like a wacky, nerdy artist.
He spends a lot of time in the bathroom, a lot of time. He gets lost easily in his little world and sometimes his beak speaks for itself, I think he does a bit of acting.
He hates watching the news, Cancan, soccer games, marine life documentaries and maybe the Parahumans.
He is obsessed with investigative-themed novels / soap operas / TV shows.
He also tries to hide his huge tattoo on his left arm… "Taylor has noticed that she has been talking about Holmes for almost five minutes and is starting to sound like some sort of Stalker obsessed with a good guy.
"This was a surprise. After all, you are a shy, calm and drifter girl. I'm sure a lot of guys, including Holmes, can like a girl of this type." She said Lisa, seeing how Taylor is turning completely red and trying to say something to disprove her words.
'Love does weird things, before Taylor seemed like an emo girl, introverted, socially awkward, bullied and emotionally abused.
Now, she looks like the classic careless girl and madly in love, asking her friend what she has to do to be able to confess her love for her to her crush.
Just missing some stalker trends and a flying pet is Taylor can become a Magic Girl. ' She thought Lisa, amused by Taylor's sudden change, that she is hiding a streak of concern about a possible Master's hand.
"I'm not in love with Holmes! I just love him, I feel grateful for him and maybe I have a streak of admiration for him." She confessed Taylor, trying to avoid visiting contact with Lisa.
"You can learn more, this story of yours is incredibly captivating." She asked Lisa, wanting the last few pieces to complete the puzzle of Holmes and Taylor, she especially she wants to understand what kind of Parahuman Holmes is.
"I had some problems with some girls who stopped bothering me once Holmes talked to them." She explained Taylor, with a smile, recalling Holmes' beating of Sophia and Emma.
'That's a way of saying being a victim of long-standing emotional abuse.' She thought Lisa, continuing the face of a playful friend, interested in Taylor's love life.
"I'm not a very confident girl, most of the time I wait for my problems to go away on their own and I might have problems with people." She told Taylor, confessing some of her problems she has learned to admit she has.
'This would be the understatement of the year.' She thought Lisa, easily recognizing all of Taylor's problems, including ones she has not yet unlocked.
"But Holmes is so sure of himself, ready to face the whole world. Now he's an orphan, but I haven't seen him for a single moment being sad, depressed or crying. He acts as he wants without fear of attracting people's unwanted attention. Today she is trying to publish one of his novels, I am sure she will succeed. I wish I was more like him, less weak and more persistent. "Taylor explained, again admitting that she has a low self-image.
"What does your father think of Holmes, do they get along?" She asked Lisa, surely this question will give her the information they need.
"My dad loves her, he pretty much sees him as the son he never had or the brother I should have." Taylor replied, not knowing that when he says the word son and brother, he unconsciously shakes his hand.
[Half truth about Holmes' origins. Subconscious suppression of romantic feelings, deep feelings of disgust about herself.
Frustration at the mention of the word: Son and Brother.
Most likely outcome of all these details: Incest.] Lisa's powers ended an outcome close to reality, but far worse than it should.
'This is a whole new shit. Holmes is probably Danny's bastard son, meaning he makes him Taylor's half-brother. His mother is dead and social services send him to his unknown father.
All of this is enough for a trigger event.
There are three options to explain this situation:
One, Taylor is in love with her stepbrother due to a desperate feeling of affection and need for security. A big problem to be solved with a lot of therapy.
Two, Holmes does not realize he is a Master and unwittingly uses his powers on his new family to feel safe and loved. This is resolved with a lot of tact and right words.
Three, Holmes is a very powerful teacher who brainwashed Taylor, making her believe they are related and using her as a guinea pig for her powers. Problem solved with a bunch of bullets, some explosives and an anonymous phone call to the Protectorate. ' He thought Lisa, drawing a huge pattern in her head about what the situation in the Hebert house can really be like.
At that moment Lisa's phone rang, a certain pedophile snake sent a coded message: "Good morning my dear, one of my employees is about to attend an important event, you can go to Parian's shop and see if there is. something nice for her? "
[Tradition: Tattletale, my pet pet, Circus is about to make her move, go ahead and tell me what's going on there.]
'For once Coil did me a favor by leaving the incest stuff and / or mind control.' He thought Lisa as she finishes her coffee and leaves a big tip on the table.
"Taylor, you want to make a small purchase, I heard Parian is making a special price for her clothes." She asked Lisa, not wanting to abandon Taylor until she can get more details, plus taking Taylor to Parian's shop gives Lisa a great cover.
'With Taylor by my side no one suspects me, anyone who watches me will see an intelligent friend helping her madly in love friend to make herself beautiful for her date.' She thought Lisa, finding a practical excuse to keep Taylor beside her, not because she cares about Taylor that she may or may not be mentally impaired.
"Why not, I've never seen the famous Brockton Bay Rouge with my own eyes." She said that Taylor, wanting to continue to be with Lisa.
"Very nice. Yoshimura, can you give us a paper bag to take the coffees with us." Lisa asked, wanting to bring the unfinished food with her.
"Right away, I'm sorry you can't enjoy your coffee quietly, but I hope you and your friend can come back." Yoshimura said, handing the paper bag into Taylor's hands.
"I'll be back for sure, Anteiku is such a nice coffee shop!" Taylor said, loving the venue, something about this place to something magical that makes her feel at peace and safe.
"Glad to see you like my place, come back whenever you want." Yoshimura said, greeting her Lisa and Taylor who are exiting the coffee shop with smiles on her face.
Taylor is following Lisa, unaware that Parian's shop is crowded with eccentric characters.
In a faraway place, an immense multidimensional spider finds itself observing Taylor's movements, pulling the strings of fate to give him the blessing of the bite.
XXX
Something strange happened when Taylor and Lisa arrived at Parian's shop.
"I just remembered that I have to buy the ingredients for today's dinner, I have to buy now and practice I will not allow myself to be wrong!" Exclaimed Taylor, remembering a not too urgent commitment, but behaving as if it were an emergency of life and death
"I remembered that I have to take a book back to the library!" Lisa yelled, acting as if she was about to give birth at any moment.
[Parian's shop is surrounded by a harmless Shaker effect, the power induces people who come to remember other commitments and make them seem incredibly important to accomplish. Something important is happening in Parian's shop, they don't want to be seen or heard by people] Lisa's Tinker power broke the magic of Iron-Star's Bounded Field, if it had been better done this wouldn't have happened.
"Taylor, what's the matter with us, we have all day to finish our chores. We go into the shop, look around, buy something, then leave." Lisa stated, grabbing Taylor's hand and dragging her to Parian's shop.
XXX
As Taylor and Lisa enter the shop, Altair hides under a sun hat while Koragg goes to call Parian and Iron-Star.
'Because Taylor is here! How did they get through the Guardian's Delimited Field? Has the effect worn off yet? ' Altair thought, watching Taylor and Lisa from his hiding place, waiting for Iron-Star or Parian to come and talk to customers.
"Shouldn't Parian welcome its customers or one of its employees?" He asked Taylor, noting that the shop is completely lifeless, there are only large clothes and soft toys here.
"He's probably in the bathroom or taking inventory, we stay here, he must have heard the door bell open, true in no time." Lisa said, inventing an excuse to keep Taylor in a good frame of mind.
"Do you see anything you like?" She asked Lisa as she looks around for information, keeping the phone close at hand, reluctant but still ready to send information to her boss, Coil, to tell her whether to send her clown thief to rummage around the place. .
Taylor took a second look to find a piece of clothing that he really likes.
"I think I saw a nice jacket, I'll try it on in the dressing room". She said Taylor, grabbing a winter jacket, going into the dressing room, taking the paper bag full of coffee with her.
XXX
Once inside the dressing room, Taylor puts her bag down, right next to another bag that is completely identical except for its contents.
In the second bag is a Spider-Hero costume that possesses a lot of cutting-edge technology.
The second most interesting thing about the sta is a very special little black and red spider, which is suspended by a thread above Taylor's head.
Before putting on the winter jacket, Taylor notices that one of his shoelaces has become slender.
Taylor kneeling and bowing his head, exposes his neck to the eight-legged beast.
Taylor deals with shoes ignoring the feeling of having something light touching the back of his neck.
By reflex, Taylor brings her hand back, scratching the skin under the hairline.
Taylor starts putting on her winter jacket, making a few laps on herself, trying to sell if this jacket makes it look less ugly.
"Will Holmes like this jacket? I'm going to ask Lisa's opinion, she seems to know what to wear." She muttered Taylor, grabbing the wrong bag, leaving the coffee behind, and wearing a Spider-Hero costume as herself.
As soon as she exits Taylor feels a strange sensation in her neck area again and this time she almost drops her bag in a hurry to chase away that annoying feeling of hers, earning a worried nerdy look.
Biting her lip, Taylor once again scratches the back of her neck.
"What are you doing here? My shop is closed!" She said a female voice coming from behind her, Parian came out of her art workshop, not too happy to have ruined her moment with Mew Mew.
"You are Parian!" Taylor exclaimed, surprised that Parian isn't dressed in her usual Victorian doll outfit.
"Yes, I'm Parian, the owner of this shop." Parian replied, still annoyed at being interrupted at the most beautiful moment.
"You know you're dressed like a Cowgirl and what you're wearing on your face." She asked Lisa, pointing to Parian's outrageous costume and futuristic visor on her face.
"Yeah, I'm thinking about a change of look, it seems Iron-Star likes girls who use guns. The visor is just an Iron-Star invention, I'm just helping him test it." She explained Parian, finally noticing what she looks like, a black girl dressed as a cowboy wearing a futuristic Tinker-Tech visor.
"You have closed the shop, you are dressed like a Cowgirl and a man is waiting for you behind the back of the shop ..." she said Lisa, with the usual pomeranian smile printed on her face, happy to have found a lot of information .
[Parian is slightly angry, we ruined her moment. She just fell in love with Iron-Star who is waiting for her, he didn't come because she can't show up.
Iron-Star is not wearing her costume, she is vulnerable. Parian is helping Iron-Star design Tinker-Tech technology for sale to the Protectorate.
The back of the shop is a goldmine for Tinker-Tech technology.]
"Sorry for the interaction, my friend and I are leaving immediately." Taylor said, her face completely red with embarrassment, understanding Lisa's hint.
"For once PHO rightly, Pariron is official." Lisa replied, in a false surprised tone.
"Pariron !?" She asked Parian, not recognizing the name, but she can imagine what it means.
"Pariron is the name of the couple of the moment. Parian X Iron-Star = Pariron." She said
"We already have a copy name while we're just friends and co-workers." She muttered Parian, with an embarrassing thunder.
"Girls, you can not tell what you saw on PHO, if you do you can get a piece of clothing for free." She said Parian, not wanting to be attacked by the paparazzi who desperately want a story between two famous Capes.
XXX
A few minutes later, Taylor and Lisa are leaving Parian's shop, wearing two red winter jackets for Taylor and purple for Lisa.
When Lisa and Taylor are ready to walk through the door, Taylor felt the strange tickling sensation again, only this time it was followed directly by a pang of pain, as if he had been hit by a hot needle.
"Haaaaa!" Taylor yelled as her hand immediately flew back to cover his neck.
"Are you OK ?" She asked Lisa, worried about the girl, stopping texting Coil
" I do not know." She muttered Taylor, carefully pressing her fingers on the painful spot as she tries to ignore Lisa's questioning / worried look.
Taking a deep breath, Taylor pressed the sore spot on her neck once more.
Taylor looks around for something that might explain the sharp pain he'd felt seconds ago.
Taylor continues to scan the floor, his eyes catching sight of something small in black and red, whizzing across the floor.
" A spider !" He shouted Lisa, they hate spiders, absolutely hate spiders.
Taylor let out a violent shiver too, her stomach falling to her lap as she realized what she was.
"I was bitten by a spider. Today is not my lucky day." She said Taylor, starting to feel unwell.
[The spider is not normal, too artificial coloring, too coordinated movements, spider of artificial origin. Ragno is a Bio-Tinker product.]
'This is worse than incest or brainwashing. Parian is a seamstress, Iron-Star a possible Bio-Tinker, what these two can create together. Bombproof costumes, if spider silk is better than kevlar, spider silk made by Bio-Tinker what can it do. 'Lisa thought, starting to worry a world about Taylor.
[Uber and Leet disguised as businessmen are approaching the shop. So too are five members of Empire 88. Coil spilled out the position of Iron-Star]
"Taylor we have to get you to a hospital right away, that spider can be poisonous or worse with a Tinker working in that shop." She said Lisa, grabbing Taylor and taking her further away from here before things can really go crazy.
XXX
About ten minutes later.
BAM!
BAM !
BOOM !
BAM !
BAM!
Sounds of gunfire begin to ring in the air, a mess is going on at Parian's shop.
Fortunately, Lisa and Taylor are several ways away from the action.
"Taylor, you look a little paler than usual." She said Lisa, noting that Taylor is turning incredibly pale.
"I feel tired." She muttered Taylor, leaning on Lisa's shoulder.
His neck still hurts and throbs from the bite, and he shivers, as if the temperature had dropped thirty degrees in the course of a few minutes.
Taylor also begins to feel dizzy and her stomach hasn't stopped shaking since seeing that spider.
"I just want to go home and sleep." She said Taylor, starting to breathe irregularly.
"Hold on Taylor, the hospital isn't that far." She said Lisa, trying to keep Taylor awake until they reach the hospital where Panacea is located.
Lisa took a quick look at the bite mark, which swelled to the size of a marble and appears to be incredibly painful.
'Holmes may be a Master playing with your head, now you are bitten by a Bio-Tinker spider that has poisoned your body. Being Taylor Hebert is a pain. ' Lisa thought, wondering how unfortunate Taylor can be.
"What can happen worse!" She asked Lisa, not knowing that the universe should not be provoked.
XXX
A second later two huge Nazi Valkyries threw a couple of heroes like baseballs.
One of them, an Asgardian divine, fell into the rubble of Parian's shop.
While the Supergirl / Wonder Girl parody is drawn straight to a car that is just yards away from Lisa and a raving Taylor.
"This is the first time I'm happy to see you, Glory Girl. It means Panacea is around." She muttered Lisa, willing to befriend / help Glory Girl if that means Taylor can receive Parian's miraculous touch.
Keep it going ...

Abysus Castle (Generator Rex) (200): In addition to the name, the castle is one of the abandoned workshops, previously used by the Nanite Project. Being a copy of the one used as a base of operations by Van Kleiss and The Pack, your castle can appear anywhere in this world (by default, in Abysus) and other locations, after the jump. Currently, it is only ruins, but it can still be repaired to return to its former glory. There are also some damaged machines used during the Nanite Project. Maybe you can find some uses for them.
+ Researcher (Tokyo Ghoul) (100): Ghouls are a fascinating subject, they look a lot like humans but they are so much more. And they are the topic you have devoted your life's work to. How they live, what makes them work and ... the best way to turn them into weapons. It is through the work of people like you that the CCG can fight on even ground against monsters. Without the quinques, the CCG would be all bark and no bite and we can't have it, now can we? It doesn't matter what this world or its inhabitants might be like, save for moralism for later. There is work to be done and there has always been.
Re Cafe (Tokyo Ghoul) (Free): Time to get a job, it seems, and what better job than selling coffee and snacks? Though otherwise a mundane café, it has a meeting room and one or two empty rooms to renovate. It also has a serene air of calm, a peaceful ward in a way, people who enter feel more relaxed and are less likely to start a fight. Enemies and pursuers often dismiss it as mere coffee, but the determined can see through its likeness.
Another Day (Tokyo Ghoul) (Free): Considering what you will be working with, it may be difficult to keep your disgust in check. After all, you have to cut the ghouls open to examine them and retrieve the useful pieces. If a normal person winces and looks away from necessary things, you don't. You can feed your disgust and sorrow for doing what needs to be done. That ghoul's kagune won't turn into a quinque by itself, you know.
Medical School (Tokyo Ghoul) (Free): Very stereotypical but you went there and passed enough to qualify as a doctor. This gives you familiarity with the human body and, more importantly, how they differ from that of a ghoul. Now you understand what effort must be made to get someone to heal properly. Of course, this means that you would understand what it would take to break them too.
Organ Donations (Tokyo Ghoul) (200): Now what do you plan on doing with these, uh? Despite the bland name, the organs in question are kakuhous, a sac-like organ found only in ghouls. They store the Rc cells consumed by the ghouls and allow them to manifest their kagune. And now you get one for each Rc type per year. They can be used to make quinques for others, used for research experiments ... or maybe even to make your own one-eyed demons ...
