Seeing Red

Pain...

Pure adulterated pain...

Anger boiling in my heart as the pieces fell on the ground like shattered glass. Once I had been happy with the company of the Scarlet Spider, but now he has betrayed me. He told me that he used me and used Spider-Man in order to get his secret identity. That left me at the mercy of Doc Ock, turning me into his latest project. Now I'm a freak with unknown powers I can't control. But does Scarlet care? Does he even know how much I loved him?

Now he has enacted my rage and I intend to let him have it all. He broke my heart, so now I break his body.

"SCARLET! HOW COULD YOU!" The webs around me shatter the prison I was trapped in, glass scattering around me. Anger was evident in my eyes as Scarlet gives me a shocked look. "I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

I charged at him, webs wrapping around my body. He lunged at me, his fist raised. I raised my own and we collided with punches. He was strong, but I wouldn't let him overtake me. Easing up a bit, I managed to kick him to the ground. He grunted, shooting a web at me. I see it coming, stopping it with my own hand. That's when I noticed that I could feel every fiber of the web. Testing this out, I managed to send the web back towards him, wrapping it around his body.

"So that's why she has webs around her. Crimson, you are full of surprises." Doc mused, watching me choke Scarlet. I didn't even retaliate as I was too angry with Scarlet at the moment. I watched as he unleashed his own stingers and sliced through the webs like paper. Growling, I ran towards him and shot out my webs. They sharpened and impaled themselves into his side. He grunted, blood pouring out from the wound. I vaguely heard Spider-Man shouting at me, telling me to stop. I ignored him, leaping up and kicking him in the face. Scarlet tumbled to the ground, still clutching his side.

He didn't sense me? Do these newfound powers allow me to bypass the Spider Sense?

"I don't want to fight Val, you've got to stop this." He said, sending out more webs to trap me. But my eyeholes narrowed, stopping the webs. I grabbed them and started to wrap him up again. Sharp spikes came out the ends as stuck him in the arms. More blood poured out of his multiple wounds, his cries filling my ears.

"You don't deserve to call me that anymore." I spat venomously, feeling angrier by the minute. "You used me, toyed with my emotions, and then cast me out to rot! Don't you know how much it felt to actually trust a man again?" SHINK! Two red blades popped out of my wrist and pressed themselves on his neck. "Now I'm gonna hurt you, like you hurt me!"

I couldn't see his eyeholes, but I knew he felt some sort of fear. I could feel it radiating off him, permeating off every pore in his skin. The blades cut through his suit, as I prepared to plunge them deep inside his neck.

I hesitated, stopping mere inches from his jugular. A sharp pain hit me from behind as I was sent tumbling to the wall. Doc Ock had sent me careening into the hard wall as Spider-Man let out a cry of anguish. I blinked my anger filled eyes to see him unmasked. He was a normal kid like me, brought into a world that he didn't want to be a part of.

"That's quite enough Crimson, I don't want you hurting my most valuable experiment." He teased, leaning over her. "Scarlet, I want to go retrieve this key, destroy anyone that gets in your way!"

"Yes boss." He got up from the ground, casting me one more look before webbing out the window.

"No Ben! You don't have to do this!" Spider-Man yelled, reaching out for him.

"It's too late now Peter Parker. You and your pathetic faith in other people,I knew you'd accept my Scarlet Spider into your ranks." I growled as he chuckled to himself. "Hmm, so thought your team made you strong, Spider-Man, but they were your greatest weakness, leading you straight to defeat!"

I saw his eyes, those were the eyes of betrayal. I felt a instant connection with Spider-Man at that moment, anger bubbling deep inside of me once more. My webs floated up around me as they wrapped around my arms, making two blades. I thought my eyes flashed red for a moment as I let out a bloodcurdling cry. I sliced the side of the ship open and jumped from it. Air rushed around me as I fell. But my rage would not be satisfied until I had Scarlet's heart in the palm of my hands. I could sense his webs from where I was and followed that feeling to him.

I found myself in a quaint neighborhood. I landed on a nearby house and surveyed the area. This must be where Spider- I mean Peter Parker lives. But why come here?

I heard a scream coming from one of the houses and sounds of gunfire. I had a sinking suspicion on where that was and found myself at the last house on the block. To my surprise, Scarlet had a woman in his hands and the key in the other. A blond guy in a wheelchair was turned over.

"I don't want to hurt you May." I heard his voice coming from a corner. Growling, I broke through the window, surprising the woman and the blond boy.

"Who the heck are you?" The guy asked, giving me a suspicious look. I wave dhim off, my eyes focused on the bug in question.

"Valencia, you have to stop trying to fight me. I won't like to fight you again." He said, his grip on the key tightening. I could see a look of shock wash over the room.

"That's Peter's friend Val!" The woman said, I assumed she was this "May".

"Val? Is that really you?" By his voice I thought he sounded familiar. It was Agent Venom, but why was he in critical condition?

"I have unfinished business with Scarlet Spider." My voice had gotten unnaturally deeper as I walked in the room. "Let the woman go Scarlet and let me finish what I started!"

Scarlet released the woman and walked towards me. He got into a fighting stance, his eyes slit in a glare. His wounds were slowly recovering, mostly covered up in his webs. I laughed to myself as I got into a fighting stance.

"So his is how you wanna play it now Valencia? After all we've been through, you want to end this here?" He said, trying to reason with me.

I wasn't deterred however, and got into my fighting stance. "You told me yourself, I was just a pawn. So now I'm going to end this game in a checkmate." I put my hands together and webs came off my body, floating menacingly. "So let's play..."

The final showdown behind Val and Ben is next time! What will happen to Crimson with Scarlet's sacrifice? Tune in next time!
