Hey guys!

I have seen the series finale, and it was a good ending! But let's continue the story even though it's already over! The next chapters will be mostly filler so that I can develop Crimson's character a bit more and introduce a Marvel hero I thought they should've include; Silk! Thanks for the reviews, favorites, and follows! Enjoy!

Arachnophobia or: How I Learned to Be a Hero and Save the World

So...my boyfriend just died.

Well there goes my life right now.

For those of you who have just caught up with the program, my name is Valencia. I was a normal high school girl who lived with her mother in the big, bright city of New York. I had it all; a nice house, a stable job, good friends, and the best meals this side of seventh street. It was on a rainy day when the boy of my dreams literally fell from the sky and landed right in front of me.

Of all the people he had to land in front of in all the towns in all the world, he falls into mine.

I considered myself lucky though. Ben Reilly was the sweetest, kindest, and most stubbornest guy I had ever met. And I lived with my father for a couple years before he died. But he could cook, tell you your gorgeous, then go help Spider-Man and the others save the world all in a day...


Silk looked at Crimson as if she was going mad. They had been swinging around the city for quite some time now and she hadn't uttered a single word.

"Uh..are you alright or something? You haven't talked for a while now." She said, pulling Crimson from her thoughts.

"What're you talking about? I have been talking, but not to you."

"Then who the heck are you talking too?"

"The audience of course. Some of them have never read this story and we're transitioning to a point where I get to develop my character more and all that jazz."

Silk's face blanched for a second, trying to understand what was going on. "Are you joking? Or is this a serious thing?"

"As serious as I make it Silk. Now can I finish this inner monologue please? We have to transition to the next scene."

"Fine then, but don't drag me into your weirdness."

"Your right, but then again you recruited me."


"I see that our specimens are ready to be deployed."

The room was dimly lit, the only light seemingly coming from the ceiling, shining down from the rafters. In the middle of the room, a large desk holding a large man sat behind the counter. He was talking to a smaller figure in front of the desk, who's head was in a bowing position.

"Yes sir, our team has gotten everything they could from OSCORP to get the information on the genetically altered spider formula. And we were able to replicate the formula to make a team of enhanced hybrids of our own." The light shined of the circular spectacles on its face. "With S.H.E.I.L.D down thanks to that HYDRA attack, we can easily assimilate the base and destroy any trace remains of Spider-Man and his teams."

"And the girl? What about your first test subject? Have you found her yet?"

The figure shifted uneasily on its feet. "There is a slight possibility that she escaped. But we are sending the other subjects to find her, alive and breathing I may say."

"You do realize that if we can't find Project: Moon, we might have to kiss Arachnophobia goodbye! She has had the same spider that bit whoever is Spider-Man bite her."

"Sir, if I may ask, why is Project: Moon such an important subject to you? She has shown some significant growth since we locked her in the bunker, but she has no potential like the others. The only unique quality she has is her ability to spin webs from her fingertips."

"Oh ye of little faith, don't you know that she has far more potential than you give her?"

The figure sighed and shook its head. "Very well, we shall keep searching for the subject. My spiders can handle her by themselves. She is only a child in this strange new world, who would be willing to help her?"


"Me that's who! And he thinks that betraying me and changing me into a spider mutant like him would benefit his so called master."

Silk was silent as she heard Crimson's rant about her now dead boyfriend. She couldn't help, but feel sorry for her. But then again, she had it worse than she did. The two were currently sitting on the ledge of one of the many numerous skyscrapers in New York, snacking on hot dogs and sipping soda. Silk brought her bandana down a bit while Crimson willed her suit to open hers.

"Now he's dead and left me to finish his mess. I can't be a hero, no matter how many people tell me otherwise. Scarlet told me to live on for him, but I'm scared. I haven't even talked to my mother who's probably worried sick about me or went back to talk to Spidey." She curled up her arms around her knees and let out a big sigh. "You probably think I've been nothing but a whiny brat to you right now huh?"

Silk wiped her hands on her suit and looked her straight in the eyes. "Yep."

"Wow..did anyone tell you that you're really honest?"

"No, in fact, this is the first time I've ever been out of the bunker in 10 years." She stood up and stretched her arms to the sky. "You think you have problems with your deadbeat boyfriend, try getting experimented on every day of your life."

Crimson looked at Silk's face again and saw a familiar emotion; sadness. "I didn't know..."

"It's not your fault, so don't beat yourself up. But don't complain that you have it bad. There are some who has had it worse than you." She sat down next to Crimson. "Trapped in a bunker with no memories of my family, if I even had one that is. Then tested on with numerous versions of the same serum to turn me into a webcrawler with sleek hair." She clenched her fist. "And to find out that they just used you to destroy a hero who did his best to rescue you from that, that, hell..."

"Spider-Man found you in the bunker?"

"More like rescued me. He didn't have to do it, but he saw me and I begged him to release me. He complied as soon as the guards were coming to stop him. I remember seeing the head scientist with her hair as red as blood sending the other test subjects to stop us. Spider-Man fought hard and fast, but even I had to help him in order to win my freedom. It was then and there I realized I had to become the hero that not only protected the city, but protected the innocent people from being captured by this organization. I don't want anyone else to suffer like I did."

"Who is this organization that took you? Is this the same one we're going to stop?"

Silk nodded. "They call themselves Arachnophobia, an organization bent on taking the world by fear with the use of..." She hesitated a bit, making Crimson blink in confusion. "Spider experiments."

"Wait what? Spider experiments...like you and me and the others?"

"That's exactly what she means."

Silk gasped and turned around to see three other figures standing on top of the water tower behind them. One of them gave her a fanged smile as it pointed at her.

"Hello Silk, nice to see you here. And with a new friend no less."

Crimson leapt up and stood besides Silk, her webs starting to sharpen. "Is that the spider mutants you were talking about?"

"Unfortunately yes, and I am related to those monsters."


Well that's where we are ending today! Silk and Crimson are in a bind, there are new spiders out there, and a cliffhanger to get some heads shaking.
