Tales from the Hypnoverse
Ginny: Into the Spider-Verse
Part 3
Sexual Content Ahead
Lyla then went back into the 1276 files to look at images of Ginny under the mind control of Lizard, wondering how Ginny will be able to beat him in the inevitable confrontation without falling to his powers. She did cringe a lot of the time when watching Ginny be forced to get stark naked and the Lizard grope her for hours on end.
But, right before Lyla switched the screens, Lyla realized what could be the end of the Lizard. During one of their battles right before Ginny was hypnotized for the last time before creating the anti-hypno glasses, she had caused the Lizard to get his arm impaled on a spark spike from a piece of debris.
"Maybe…" Lyla whispered. "That's how they defeat such an unorthodox foe… by having to kill him…?"
With that thought in mind, Lyla did as she was instructed and watched the events in 1610 to play out to tell Miguel about later once he returned, even as her attention kept being drawn back to Ginny's last fight with the Lizard prior to her creating the anti-hypno lenses…
-Universe 1276-
"LIZARD." Ginny called out as she entered an abandoned warehouse in London that was surrounded by cops and was partially in flames. The mad reptile scientist had taken hostages from a laboratory in AbbottCorp in order to force them to synthesize a new serum to make his hypnotic powers even stronger against Ginny, but so far they weren't following his orders.
"Ah… if it isn't the object of my affection." The Lizard hissed in delight as he dropped from the ceiling on all fours. "Have you come to be mine once more?"
Not even answering him, Ginny used as much strength as possible to punch him so hard that he flew through the air into a stack of containers.
He snarled as he lashed out at her, furious when his enemy dodged every single blow with an annoying little quip to irritate him. This particular phase of the battle ended when Fire-Spider caught one of his punches, using his own fist to hit him in the face repeatedly.
"This looks like it hurts, man, why are you hitting yourself?" Ginny teased the Lizard as she climbed onto his back to flip him to the ground head first. "Ooh." Ginny cringed at the sound of the impact. "That's gotta hurt."
Lizard growled as he stood up, though with difficulty, he snapped at her, tearing the remaining pieces of lab coat off of him. "QUIT MOCKING ME, YOU BITCH."
Ginny's eyes widened at the sense of familiarity she suddenly felt when hearing the Lizard's voice. From that yell, there was no distorted voice that sounded like it needed water, nor was there hissing; she couldn't place from where, but the voice sounded so familiar…
Her train of thought was lost when her opponent lashed out once again, managing to cut her costume in the shoulder, even if she was lucky enough to avoid getting cut.
Jumping to the rafters above, the Lizard disappeared into the dense smoke, making Ginny stay on high alert. "I am the superior being… I CAN NOT BE STOPPED."
"Funny." Ginny replied nonchalantly. "Kraven said the same thing when I first met him, though he said it as more of a greeting; from you, it sounds more like the protests of someone who knows he's already been beaten."
"You make your jokes, Ginny…" The girl in question frowned, still not used to a villain actually knowing who she was. "But we both know how all our fights end…"
Ginny closed her eyes. No way was she going to be caught off guard by his hypnosis this time around; even if he attempted some kind of jump-scare to catch her off-guard, she would never look him directly in the eye.
Using both her Spider Sense and good hearing, Ginny tried to ascertain where Lizard could be trying to jump out from, but was unsuccessful as he was silently creeping up on her.
Just as he raised a hand to uncover her face, a scream came from a doorway to the upstairs office. "SPIDER-WOMAN, HE'S BEHIND YOU."
Grateful for the warning call from one of the Lizard's former hostages, Ginny smirked under her mask as she kicked her nemesis back towards the wall, without having to even turn around to face him.
A sound of something cutting through metal could be heard, followed by a sharp scream and hisses. Risking the safety of her free will, Ginny opened her eyes when she turned around to face the direction and witnessed something that made her laugh.
The Lizard had been impaled through the shoulder with a massive metal beam, sharp teeth-like chunks at the end after pieces of it had broken off earlier.
Turning to the hostages who had all gathered at the office entrance, Ginny waved them all off. "Get out of here, everyone. Get to safety." Ginny turned back towards her nemesis, still with a smirk on her face. "I got this under control."
No one dared question her as they all ran out of the building to the police and awaiting ambulances.
"Hehehe." Lizard chuckled after the doors had closed, seeing Ginny walking casually up to him, hands on her hips. "You've got this under control? Are you sure?"
Having become very confident in the situation, Ginny rolled her eyes. "Uh yeah… do you see yourself right now?" The Spider-Woman said, gesturing towards his arm. "I think it's time I take you to j-j-jail…" when she turned back towards the Lizard, his hypnotic eyes had activated and the hypnosis had gotten much stronger due to his pain and desperation.
"I ask again. Do you have this under control?" Lizard smirked as he noticed the creasing at the lower part of her mask, indicating that the beautiful woman underneath was smiling widely.
Giggling like a love-sick school girl, Ginny replied to her reptilian master. "No… I'm such a dumb and stupid girl… who is yours…"
A full on belly laugh erupted from his throat. "That you are. Now, help me…" he ordered his slave, indicating the metal beam sticking out of his arm.
Feeling immediate regret from what she had done, Ginny webbed the Lizard and pulled him away, her breathing had quickened from the scare she had gotten seeing that protruding from her master's arm, and the feeling that she had done that sent her feelings into overdrive.
"Sleep…" The Lizard ordered as he came to stand by her. Ginny's eyes quickly closed, as well as instantly collapsing into his awaiting arms as he carried her to a sewer entrance. Along the way, he stripped her of her clothing, keeping the outfit, so she had something to wear later, but he just wanted to admire the beauty that is Ginny while he cradled her naked body in his arms bridal style.
"I'm such a lucky man." He said to himself, as he was in the process of reverting to the body of his human self, Dean Thomas. "If only I hadn't driven you from me… maybe we'd still be together now."
Ever since their break up his sixth year at Hogwarts, Dean had become unnaturally obsessive to the point of giving himself hypnosis powers just to spend some quality alone time with his ex, who he considered still to be his.
He was far above what was considered crazy to most people. The therapist that tried to console him on the matter ended up quitting, deeming Dean as a lost cause. Ginny was all he could think about. As he fondled her large breasts in his hands, he couldn't help but think of a life where they could've been together.
In his dream, he saw Ginny naked in bed with a wedding ring on her finger. The name Ginny Thomas, emblazoned on her Quidditch jerseys. Their potential children, their anniversaries…
The dark skinned man envied Harry for catching Ginny's heart. Why did he have to be the bloody Boy-Who-Lived?
After arriving at his sewer lab, Dean laid Ginny down on the couch and watched her sleep, occasionally bouncing her breasts, while pinching her nipples to get a reaction out of her. After some time doing that, he went to bed.
However, due to not having any attention from her master, Ginny awoke from the trance prematurely. Looking down, Ginny could see her bare breasts, in between the crevice to her stomach and legs. This disgusted her to no end as she got dressed and quickly fled, leaving a note for the Lizard, not even going in to beat him senseless, vowing to find out who he really was and end him for his perversions, on top of her more private vow to find a way to make herself resistant to his influence.
Though the thought of him being impaled to kill him still lingered in her mind, by 2013 that thought had vanished as she was actively trying to kill him… then she found out he was Dean Thomas and both were pulled into the Spider-Verse…
Universe 1610- Present Day
The Spider crew had arrived at Fisk Tower, causing much confusion amongst the populace when multiple spider people left a city bus and went swinging up to the skyline, followed by a robot that had been on top of the bus.
Once on top of a crane far above the streets below them, they all made their way to huddle near each other.
"This place might be hard to infiltrate." Noir observed as he scanned the area, looking for a suitably discreet route in.
As Ginny looked around as well for a possible entrance, her eye lenses began to flash a warning, one that the others couldn't see. It alerted her to the presence of the Lizard down below in the Collider room, even as she fought down her initial anger at that news. She had received a similar alert during the fight at May's house, but the creature didn't show his face, probably watching her from the shadows.
"What's our plan?" Gwen asked as she surveyed the tower.
Peni's SP/DR scanner ran down the building in response to her question. "It looks as though Kingpin has a private elevator that leads down to where the collider is."
"Great." Peter acknowledged. "Let's get a closer look."
All at the same time, they swung over to the roof of the building that had a large enough window view into Kingpin's private event that was masquerading as a Spider-Man memorial dinner to cover for his actions downstairs.
The gang watched as Kingpin walked up on stage, a fake look of sadness on his face as he addressed the occupants. "Thank you all for coming here this evening. As you all know, Spider-Man and I were very close…"
Gwen frowned as they all listened to the bull shit he was spewing. "What. A. Pig."
"Hem hem." Spider-Ham coughed next to her, frowning at her. "Did you forget I'm right here?" Gwen nervously chuckled before they both looked back at the dinner.
Noir noticed something intriguing and caught everyone's attention. Much to the shock of the dimensionally displaced heroes, each waiter at this dinner wore a Spider-Man mask in honor of their deceased hero.
"It's a long shot." Noir addressed the group after they noticed and realized what his plan might be. "It can't be that easy…"
Ginny shot a web to a hatch on the roof and nodded her head in the direction. "It's worth a shot."
However, Peter wasn't listening, as he had noticed this world's version of Mary Jane sitting down at a table nearest to the window.
Gwen, noticing that Peter wasn't following, slid back down the glass over to him and noticed what he was looking at.
"Peter… come on." There was sympathy in her voice as she knew what he must be feeling before yanking him on the arm to follow her up to the hatch.
\\\\\
"It's that easy." Noir uttered in shock as the gang walked into the event unimpeded, pushing a cart that had Peni and Spider-Ham hiding underneath it.
"Yeah…" Gwen replied, confused as to how no one seemed to notice the two girls in Spider costumes when it seemed to only be male waiters in attendance.
"Act natural… like we're just a regular part of the staff…" Ginny said over their comms so no one else would hear them. "Watch where the big man goes, and we follow."
"Right." They all replied.
Kingpin's unpleasant voice filled their ears as they tried walking as casually as they could. "I'd just like to thank Mary Jane Parker for being here this evening."
Gwen, who was walking beside Peter, noticed him suddenly stop dead in his tracks as he stared at this redheaded girl who had just gotten up from her table, whispering, "MJ?"
Gwen's eyes widened in fright as she believed he was about to mess up the plan, so she improvised. "Hey. Hey. Hey. Peter, concentrate. Pay attention…" Gwen snapped in a whisper at him, waving her hand in his face.
"But… MJ…" Peter whined as he stared at the redhead just inches away. "I-I-I…" the words died on his lips. He couldn't figure out what to say to stop Gwen from letting him go.
"It's not your MJ, Peter, ok?" Gwen told him in exasperation, cursing MJ for being here to distract Peter from the plan.
After a moment, Peter leaned back a little before turning the server cart that Peni was hiding under towards where MJ was sitting. "I'm sorry, I'll be right back."
This caused Gwen to groan in annoyance as she stopped him from the other side. "Trust me, Peter… I've been there." Her expression from the mask showed her vulnerability at that moment. "You got a move on buddy…"
Peter started to lightly sprint away from the cart as he addressed Gwen. "One second. Let me just - oh…" He had not noticed that MJ had approached them and was now standing directly in front of her.
"Hello." MJ politely said, not phased from nearly being run over by a man she thought was a waiter dressed in a Spider-Man uniform.
Under the mask, Peter looked on dreamily at his alternate universe self's widow, not fully aware of what he was saying. "O-oh wow…"
This threw MJ off a little as she stared at him weirdly. "I… was wondering if we could some more bread at Table 12, please?"
Gwen facepalmed watching how Peter acted during this interaction. If she could, make them all vanish into the next room just to avoid a slip up from this man.
"Yeah." Peter replied, still acting like a dumbass love-sick man to the alternate version of his ex. "I'm just, uh, I'm really sorry…"
Raising an eyebrow at the apology, MJ chuckled while she shrugged. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just bread."
"No… I wasn't there for you when you needed me..."
By this point, Gwen and or Noir were thinking about intervening. Even Ginny started to cringe at the act, thinking Peter was making a fool of himself. "Gwen." She whispered to get the teen's attention.
"Hmm?" Gwen responded, turning back to the other female.
Ginny nodded her head towards Peter and MJ. "Stop this now, or we may never get to the Collider."
Gwen nodded.
MJ nodded in confusion as the so-called waiter dramatically talked to her.
Peter looked to the ceiling, then back to her. "I know I can do better…" Peter said sadly, bringing his hands over his chest. "If I just had another chance… to get you some fresh bread. The bread that you deserve…"
MJ started to laugh lightly at his antics. "Are you ok?"
Taking that moment to intervene, Gwen appeared at the love-sick man's side. "Ma'am, we'll get you that bread right away."
The redhead smiled at her before walking away. "Nice, uh, talking to you…"
"We should fill this place up with fresh bread." Peter longingly replied to her as Gwen spun him around towards the doors they had seen Kingpin walk down during Peter's antics.
"Are… are you ok, man?"
"Oh, yeah… definitely."
"Oh good because we are not getting any bread."
"Figured."
They followed Kingpin towards a very fancy door in the middle of an empty hallway, flanked by two guards. After the larger than life criminal man entered the room, the gang webbed the two guards to the ceiling.
"Sleeeeep." One of the Spiders said as they left them in a web cocoon on the ceiling.
They entered what appeared to be Kingpin's office, as there was a massive desk in the middle. When Gwen jumped on it, she felt like she was standing on some kind of small boat rather than a simple desk, given the sheer size of it.
"Ah, what a beautiful painting." Noir exclaimed, coming to stand in front of a large painting behind the desk. "I quite love the use of purple."
Spider-Ham rolled his eyes, sighing in annoyance. "Again. Color isn't his strong suit."
Noir gripped as much of the painting tightly in his fists as he yanked them down. "IT'S PURPLE."
Ginny was the first to jump into the elevator shaft, sticking to the back wall to stare back at the others. "And down we go."
Noir jumped down after her, followed by Spider-Ham.
Gwen stayed attached to the wall for a moment to make sure no one else followed when she noticed Peter staring at the massive painting of Kingpin and his family. Gwen followed the direction his head was facing and frowned a little.
"This is why he is using the collider, I'm going to assume." Peter uttered in a near whisper.
"I'd assume so." Gwen nodded, thinking the exact same.
"Peter, Gwen, shake a leg and get down here." Noir's voice echoed up the elevator shaft, catching their attention.
Gwen looked down the shaft. "On our way." She replied, falling into the darkness, shortly followed by Peter.
\\\\\
"Start the sequence." Kingpin told one of his scientists as he entered the control room.
Suddenly, the Lizard appeared at the door, sniffing the air as he did so. "They are approaching…"
"Excellent." Kingpin frowned. "Octavius, have everyone be ready." He spoke into an earpiece. "And send a squad out there to distract them."
"Right away sir." Replied another henchman.
"What about the package?" Octavius' voice replied to the big man. The package being that of the Rhino, released into Fisk's custody with a suitable bribe and an elaborate story about hiring the villain in question as a bodyguard.
"Prep him." Fisk replied sternly. He watched as the scientists put the samples of his dead family into small tubes to be used for the collider, and grinned as it activated. This time, with the added distractions to overcome, even multiple Spiders wouldn't be able to stop him.
\\\\\
"Beginning Collider Sequence in 5…"
The gang had entered the room from behind the massive machine and were currently running towards the gaps in the room at the top right above the machine.
"4."
"3."
"2."
"1."
Right as the gang jumped up to the ledge, the machine activated, shocking everyone at its power.
"Okay…" Ginny said, barely above a whisper. "What are we going to do to stop this?
Gwen, who was staring wide-eyed at the event playing out in front of her, just shrugged.
Peter clutched the machinery next to him as he glitched, along with some of the others.
"Peter." Gwen addressed him. "It's ok. Let me be the one to shut it down."
"No… I've made up my mind, Gwen…" Peter responded dejectedly, knowing he had to do this since he had no reason to return home. They all began to swing towards the collider kill switch activation and all stuck to the roof.
"I'll take over the beam." Peter informed the others as he started crawling along the ceiling. "After you're gone, I'll blow it up."
Yanking the loose piece hiding the kill switch off from the ceiling, and he was about to insert the device when his spider sense began to go off, not noticing the arms of Octavius snaking towards him.
"They know we're here…" Gwen's voice of realization carried over to him, causing him to instinctively turn around and notice the arms, before trying to shove the device in, but was too late as Octavius had a firm grip on him.
She lowered down from the hole that she was hiding in and charged at Peter. "Nice to see you again, Peter…"
Once those words left her lips, the others quickly leaped into action as goons began firing on them from every angle on the high ground, leaving barely any space for any of them to break through.
As Peni charged a group of them after getting up to the top, Scorpion was waiting and grabbed her suit and tossed her behind him. "Silly little Spider…"
Noir glitched as he came up to punch someone, the goon smacked him with his gun, and was about to kill Noir when the man was suddenly grabbed by the neck by a dark, massive clawed glove.
Noir stood up, noticing who was the one who had the man by the neck, and had a confused, anxious tone as he addressed the man. "Prowler?"
"Sup black and white Spider." Prowler nodded to Noir, tossing the goon off the edge. "What can I say? This time around, working for Kingpin wasn't worth it."
Noir chuckled. "You picked one hell of a time to switch sides."
Suddenly, Black Cat zipped by him using her grapple hook to be able to be on par with her fellow Spider heroes, slamming herself into a goon before shooting him with his own gun.
Looking back at the others, Felicia noticed Gwen hiding behind some containers and jumped to help out. Rolling along the platform as he landed, Felicia dodged every laser sent her way before unleashing her own volley into the three trying to attack Gwen.
Prowler flew by, latching his power gloves onto the back of the Vulture who had just entered the fight.
"Prowler?" Vulture responded to the attack in shock. "Aren't you on our side?" He attempted to get his former business associate off his back, but it was no use.
"I was… until Kingpin decided that I was cannon fodder." Using his power glove, Prowler slashed down on one of Vulture's wings, nearly cutting straight through like paper, causing the flying villain to fly erratically trying to contain himself in the air.
Ginny swung up towards Tombstone, but was unable to launch her volley of webbing from her gauntlet as he had grabbed her out of the air, choke slamming her to the ground. "Haha, I can't wait to kill a Spider…" the gray skinned man smirked down at her splayed out body. Ginny fought to get back up, but after having the breath forced out of her in such a manner right now she could hardly move.
"Wait." A voice hissed. Tombstone looked to his right and smirked. "She's mine, Tombstone."
Standing up straight again, Tombstone smirked down at the woman he had just slammed into the ground, who could barely move. "Alright. Have your fun."
The ground shook with powerful footfalls on the metal terrace that she laid on, and from her left came her dreaded nemesis.
"Ginny… how nice to see you." He grinned sinisterly. His eyes began to light up, captivating Ginny in an instant, but the moment she lifted her head up to get a closer look, the anti-hypno lenses shot out in front of her eyes, having been delayed due to Ginny laying with her head against the ground.
Quickly, due to the loss of the power on her body, Ginny's head fell back to the hard surface. Groaning, she attempted to get up, though due to how she had been tossed into the ground, it felt as if every bone in her body was on fire.
"Let's just take these off." Lizard hissed as he made for the lenses guarding her eyes. Suddenly, a white blur kicked Lizard away, so far away, that he had crashed through a door into a dark large room about 25 meters from where she laid.
Struggling to move, Ginny managed to lift her head some and saw Gwen standing at the doorway to where the Lizard was tossed into, and began to move into it.
"G-Gwen… n-n-noo…" Ginny struggled to speak, Tombstone really did a number on her.
Looking to her right, Ginny raised an eyebrow as she saw Octavius about to kill Peter.
\\\\\
"Hey hey hey, can we just talk about this?" Peter asked politely as he tried to dodge the female scientist's advanced arms as much as possible, but couldn't, causing him to become wrapped in her embrace once again.
Octavius smirked, bringing Peter nearly face to face with her. "Do you have any last words for me, Peter?"
"Uh, yeah… do you have a minute for me to think about it?" He asked, struggling to speak from how tight she was squeezing him in this hug of death.
She smirked. "Goodbye, Peter Parker…" Just as she was about to take the killing blow, one of her arms balled itself into a fist and looked at her.
Noticing this, Octavius looked towards it only to be punched hard by it, again and again. Peter raised an eyebrow at the scene, not quite sure what to make of it, until two webs appeared out of nowhere on both sides of the villain.
They both looked to the source and saw nothing until out of thin air, a Spider-Man figure dressed in a black suit with a red logo and webbing designs came launching himself at Octavius.
Peter's eyes widened as he realized who it was. "...Miles…?"
"Spider-Ma-..." Octavius was too stunned to realize he was about to punch her, and after he did so, he caught Peter and tossed him to the ceiling with him.
"WOW MILES. You're doing it on command." Peter said, referring to his invisibility.
"Pretty cool, right?"
"Miles!" Peni called out happily.
"Look at the kid go." Noir chuckled.
"Look who's here…" Spider-Ham happily shouted.
"It's about time the kid made his entrance." Black Cat smirked.
"That's my nephew right there." Prowler spoke with pride, despite his voice being masked by his voice mod, as he continued to ride on the Vulture's back.
"Hehe… he's here. Ow…" Ginny winced as she attempted to stand up, hoping to save Gwen before it was too late…
Peter half hugged Miles to him. "I love you, I'm so proud of you. D-do I want kids?"
A panel flew between them as they remembered Octavius was there to deal with and charged her as the device Kingpin was using to bring his family to their dimension was lowered into the collider beam.
Ginny ignored everything around her as she made her way to the door and walked into the darkness, hoping Gwen was alright…
\\\\\
As Gwen entered the darkness of this abandoned underground train yard, she called out to the Lizard. "You better come out and face me, coward."
His voice soon reached her eyes, his creepy voice reverberating through the room. "You have quite the kick…"
When Gwen didn't respond, he continued. "I used to be just a man who had it all. A good life and steady job… until my mind became consumed…"
Stepping over a wheel, Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Consumed with what?"
His laughter filled the room, giving her the chills. "Ginny… she consumed my thoughts." he replied to her, hissing in delight. "She is what drove me to become this monster that I am now… drove me to acquire extraordinary powers so that I could draw her to my side…"
"I am the pinnacle of scientific achievements in my world… both in the magical and muggle world…"
Scoffing at his self-proclaimed achievement, Gwen ignored his word of 'muggle' as she didn't understand the term and didn't want to entertain the question from him.
"So why Ginny?" Gwen asked out of curiosity. "Not that I mind her, but what's so special about her that you want her this bad?"
Resentment filled the air as he responded, and Gwen could tell he was obsessed. "Before my… transformation… Ginny and I dated for a while…"
"I thought things were going swimmingly, even if we argued from time to time… and then she broke up with me one Spring afternoon… and soon after got with that Potter…"
That name, Potter, was said with so much malice in his voice that Gwen started to wonder just to what extent did this creature hate that man.
"Who is he?"
"Ginny's husband…" Lizard replied darkly. "The famous Boy-Who-Lived. The special man in the hearts of many. THE MAN I DESPISE AND WISH TO SINK MY CLAWS INTO."
Gwen's eyes widened at the sudden volume. "Have you tried moving on from Ginny?" Gwen asked as she began to turn in circles, looking at every possible angle from which he could attack from. "I mean, right now you're just coming across as obsessed…"
"What. Did. You. Say?" He said every word very slowly for emphasis from how much that commented affected him. "I am not obsessed with Ginny… because she is mine and mine alone…"
'He's too far gone in this delusion…' Gwen noticed, thinking it in her thoughts to not anger the monster further.
"Who are you to say if I'm obsessed or not?" Lizard asked harshly. "You aren't even from my universe."
"Yeah…" Gwen replied. "But I can still see that you are clearly in the wrong."
There was a silence for a time as Gwen hopped up onto a destroyed support beam and looked around, the battle out in the collider room just seemed distant.
"I'm not going to let you harm Ginny again." Gwen finally said after a few moments. "You have no right to do the things you do." The sounds of his growls ceased in the darkness. "Let her do whatever she wants. Ginny doesn't belong to you; you even said you've been broken up for a while."
Lizard dropped behind her, grabbing her in a headlock. He was so strong from the induced rage that Gwen couldn't get out of his grip.
"How dare you, girl… I'll show you." He snarled, turning around in his arms to where she was still held tightly in his grasp. "I'll make you respect me… Ginny belongs to me."
Struggling to get out of his grip, Gwen tried to turn her gaze away to look towards the Collider room to call for help, but the Lizard grabbed her head and turned it back to him, his eyes lighting up with multiple colors.
"Now." Lizard spoke with his hypnosis activated to captivate her. "Look into my eyes and learn to respect me…"
Gwen's eyes twitched as she looked into the multicolored eyes of the reptile. Both her eyes began to do some weird motion where her left eye would nearly close, while her right would be all the way open, then the other way around.
Lizard chuckled seeing this, knowing this tires out the victim more from a past experience of putting Ginny through a similar induction.
Taking off her mask and tossing it to the floor, Lizard's breath caught in his throat when seeing the gorgeous teen female before him. He was a bit confused about the hairstyle, but accepted it because he needed to focus on hypnotizing her.
When no one came in to rescue Gwen, the Lizard became more confident in being able to break her, and even thought about turning her against her allies. The perfect plan was being organized in his head while he simultaneously bewitched the teenage Spider-Woman.
"Hahaha." He laughed as he squeezed her body using his muscles, only producing a light moan of protest from Gwen, who couldn't fully understand what was happening.
The Lizard began to grope her through her suit in order to cause Gwen's body to betray her, rolling her nipples from the outside of the suit to harden them quicker.
"You best respect me, my dear." He hissed into her ear, causing her half lidded eyes to widen in anticipation from hearing his voice. "Because you are going to be mine and will help in taking down your friends…"
"T-taking down… my friends… for master…" Gwen repeated monotonously. "This slave obeys…" a small smirk grew on her face. Not quite yet a smile, but it was a start.
Lizard laughed joyfully, hearing those words escape her throat. "Hehehe hahaha. Yes, you do obey, my dear blond." Then a thought occurred to him. "Does this beautiful slave have a name?"
Gwen tried to speak her name to obey the command, but no words would escape her throat, as if her subconscious wasn't letting her reveal it.
On the outside, her expression turned fearful, thinking he'd get upset with her. However, he just chuckled. "I see your mind is trying to resist…"
"I-I'm sorry…" Gwen blushed from embarrassment. "I'll be good…"
"You are being good." He said to her, not wanting Gwen to doubt her effectiveness even as he kept bombarding her eyes with colors. "In fact, you are doing amazing. Just keep on staring."
Her breast felt somewhat small, but just big enough for his liking from the outside of her suit as he continued to grope her, as well as rolling her nipple through the suit. Her light, pleasure filled moans, caused him to increase in the action, knowing his hypnosis was doing the trick.
After another few minutes of brainwashing the teen, Lizard looked around for a zipper to her suit, and when he found it hidden on her back, he reached for it.
"Time to show me true loyalty, my dear…" He hissed in delight, laughing manically. "You've lost."
Gwen's smirk finally turned into a large, tooth-baring smile as she heard his words, glad he was reaching for her suit's zipper. "I've lost… I'm yours…"
As he grabbed the zipper, he was looking into Gwen's eyes, and when he tried to yank down, he realized he couldn't.
Looking around her body to see what was the hold up, he noticed a gray colored glove, which he now noticed, was painfully holding onto his wrist.
Looking up, Lizard had no time to react when he was hit right between the eyes by none other than a very pissed off Ginny as she caught Gwen in her arms as she fell from the lack of support on her body.
Lizard went colliding into a bunch of scaffolding, rebar and support beams, all collapsing into his body.
Ginny looked down at her young friend, shaking her violently in order to get the girl to awaken from the nearly complete trance. "Gwen. Gwen. Gwen."
Gwen quickly awoke after hearing a different voice and different body shape holding her. She looked around in confusion before her eyes settled on a worried Ginny, who breathed a sigh of relief.
The blond teenager didn't need to ask what happened. Gwen was smart enough to know that she had fallen for the Lizard's trap and quickly grabbed her mask and placed it back over her head.
Shaking with rage, Gwen looked in the direction of the pile of rubble that her assailant was currently covered under. "That bastard… I'll kill him."
Ginny placed a hand on her shoulder, not to have Gwen get her composure back, but to have the girl look at her, as she stated with a laugh. "No. We'll kill him together. Or at least try…"
When seeing that their mutual nemesis wasn't climbing out from under the rubble, the two Spider-Women began to run back towards the battle.
As they stopped in the doorway, Gwen and Ginny took in the sight before them.
Peni was battling Scorpion.
Noir was battling Tombstone.
Spider-Ham and Black Cat were fighting goons.
Prowler was still riding Vulture and destroying his flight suit.
And Peter and Miles were fighting Octavius.
"Miles?" Gwen asked Ginny for confirmation, the tone of glee in her tone at the sight of the last spider.
Ginny nodded and chuckled at the teen's reaction.
"He figured it out." Gwen sighed happily.
"Guys, are you seeing this?" Miles called out in disbelief as buildings began to leave the collider impact zone, spreading all over the room.
Gwen looked to Ginny, who shared a similar look of disbelief. "It looks as if our dimensions are coming to us…" the teen said to the group.
"It would appear so…" Ginny replied in awe at the spectacle.
Back in the room they had just vacated, the Lizard burst out from the confines of the rubble, blood trickling down various points on his body, one eye sealed shut from a massive cut that he now sported. With a new resolve, and hunger for blood, he threw caution into the wind.
"I'm done with hypnosis… now it's time to hunt." He declared with a snarl as his head quickly turned to look at the entrance to this old train yard.
Despite not being able to feel his left leg, he charged at the two women so fast that he felt like running for the Olympics.
Memories of Ginny under hypnosis flashed through his mind. The times he had lured her in, kissed her, groped her, made her food, watched TV with her etc. All those memories replayed in his mind as he charged at them, veins appearing in his eyes as they became red with fury.
One last thought echoed through his mind right before he dove at the two. 'Harry Potter shouldn't have been lucky to get with you… I am the one who deserves you… but…'
He snarled loudly as he neared the two Spider-Woman, who turned their heads over their shoulders to see what was coming, and were unprepared to be knocked off the edge by him as he came diving out the entrance, bringing them along with him as they fell towards an unknown surface.
He attempted to claw at Ginny's face, but every attempt was blocked. "IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU… NO ONE CAN."
This came out of his reptilian throat in a guttural roar, one that shook the souls of everyone in the room. "I AM THE HYPNO LIZARD. YOU BELONG TO ME… BUT I SEE NOW THAT WASN'T EVER GOING TO BE POSSIBLE."
Gwen tried to punch him in the face, but Lizard caught her wrist, stared at her with the most rage anyone has ever stared at her with, before tossing her 20 feet into a wall, causing Gwen to nearly go unconscious from the impact.
She could hardly hear her name being spoken from Miles from further away. "GWEN…"
Before she knew it, a falling sensation overtook her as she was battling to not lose consciousness as she could tell from what little vision she had that the fall's trajectory was putting her in line with the collider.
Suddenly, someone entered her vision, and she looked up to see Miles reaching out a hand to her.
Without hesitating, Gwen grabbed the offered hand before looking over her friend's suit.
"I like your suit." Gwen said to Miles with a smile. She was glad the mask was hiding her blush from saying that.
"Thanks." Miles said with so much confidence. "I made it myself."
He then shot a web behind him back towards the fight, where it was intercepted by Peter. "That was adorable, kid. Now hang on tight." he ordered, slingshotting them up to where Octavius was standing, shocked to find Gwen flying at her, punching her in the face, followed by a punch from Miles and a kick from Peter. Just as the scientist had a moment's reprieve, she was then double punched by both Miles and Gwen, sending her flying away.
The duo fist bumped.
However, celebrations for that particular move were cut short when an alarm began to blare.
A massive door near one of the collider generators opened and out came a massive figure.
"Rhino…" Miles cried in shock. "Oh no…"
"I AM THE RHINO…" Rhino called out, arching his back to look into the sky. "I AM HERE TO STOMP SOME SPIDERS…"
He looked around at everyone fighting and located the Spider heroes, and even Black Cat and Prowler. Smirking, he began to walk forward when the Lizard was thrown straight into him, knocking the large man to the floor.
"What the hell?" Rhino roared as he looked to his left and saw the Lizard trying to stand. "Oh… a puny reptilian wanting to be squashed too?"
"What?" Lizard exclaimed, seeing the Rhino laughing at him. "I'm on your side, you big buffoon."
The Russian man began to charge at the Lizard, roaring out as he nearly impaled the Lizard on his helmet horn. "Rhino don't fall for tricks."
In the command room, Fisk just smirked, feeling it was alright for this to happen. Lizard was from a different dimension. He wouldn't be losing a faithful ally in that unorthodox super-villain, and frankly the creature's obsession with a woman who clearly hated him was enough to disturb even the Kingpin.
Rhino went on to cause chaos in the collider room, even managing to throw off Miles as he tried swinging up to the kill switch controls, forcing Peter and Gwen to come assist.
Though when Gwen tried to help Peter, who was currently trapped under the foot of the Rhino, he swatted her away like a fly where the Lizard grabbed her out of the air, slamming her into the ground hard.
"Nice to see you again, blond." He hissed, blood dripping from where he was missing a few teeth. "It's time for you to die…"
Using his tail, Lizard yanked a sharp piece of shrapnel out of the air and plunged it towards Gwen, who quickly dodged it, and managed to get out of his hold and began to punch him hard.
However, he headbutted her and tossed her out into the mess, only to collide with London's Clock Tower and fall into it and down the drop on the inside.
Ginny's heart began to race as she dove in after her, the ringing of the bells playing in her ears as the memories of losing Luna in this exact same way came back to her. Instead of using webs like she had before, the redhead decided to use her momentum.
Ginny caught up to the nearly unconscious Gwen in record time, caught her, and then landed safely on the platform under the tower as the floor of the tower wasn't there.
"Thanks, Ginny…" Gwen, said Ginny, noticing her emotional state and decided not to prod as it seemed that maybe the redhead had a past experience.
"Ah, I see round two of the Clock Tower nearly took another friend." Lizard mocked as he jumped down to them. "A shame that this girl didn't meet the same fate as Luna."
Ginny quickly jumped at him, punching him so hard in the face that it looked as if his head might spin around. "NEVER. SAY. HER. NAME."
Ginny jumped back and landed next to Gwen. It was only then that Ginny noticed they were standing in a section of the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Memories began to come back to her, but she suppressed them to focus on the fight, even if the bell kept on ringing from the clock tower.
"Struck a nerve, I see?" He hissed in delight. "Maybe I… AHHHH…" Rhino had come charging in, impaling his horn through Lizard's side, carrying him a good ten feet before depositing him close to the girls, who had to dodge the incoming projectile-like man.
\\\\\
"Quit talking and turn it up." Fisk ordered his command crew, who were warning him of the Collider becoming unstable. "I don't want to hear excuses."
The doors were quickly busted open after he said that. Fisk turned around to see Prowler standing in the doorway, dragging Vulture in behind him. "Then perhaps listen to reason, Wilson."
Fisk frowned at the turncoat.
"This machine will end the universes that it's affecting, even our own." He cried out to no avail as Fisk just looked unamused.
"Why did you turn on me, Prowler?" Fisk simply asked, low, but audible. "I gave you a direct order to kill that new Spider-Man, and you didn't go through with it."
Prowler frowned, gloves beginning to glow purple as they activated. "Did you not notice that the new Spider-Man is a kid?"
"Why should I care if he's a kid, adult or senior?" Fisk growled, turning to fully face the traitor. "It makes no difference. If I want him dead, then I will do so, but I couldn't because of these damn other Spider-Men…"
Prowler breathed out a big, enraged, sigh. "Listen to yourself… do you think this is someone Richard and Vanessa would want to be around?" Fisk's eyes widened hearing this. "Do you think your wife would want to stay with you when you're talking about how you want to kill a kid?"
BANG
It all happened so fast. Prowler looked down at his chest to see a bullet hole, and blood trickling down his suit. Looking up, he saw Fisk had pulled out a pistol so quickly that he hadn't even seen it before it was fired.
But that didn't stop him. Prowler charged the large man, managing to get a blow against the man. He drew Fisk's blood with a single blow, making the huge man angry as he smashed Prowler to the ground before throwing him to the other side of the room. The wounded man tried to fire a paralyzing stun dart at the other man, but it had no effect on such a large foe.
"Are you quite finished?" Fisk once again took aim at the Prowler, and just like last time, scored a hit against him. "I don't need a traitor telling me what my family would think about my motives."
"You… bastard…" Prowler coughed, sliding down the wall, still very much alive as he watched what happened outside in the room in the battle.
As Fisk was gearing to take a 3rd shot, Miles came smashing through the side window, kicking the gun away, and knocking Fisk into the wall opposite.
"Uncle Aaron…" Miles cried in despair as he knelt next to him.
Prowler took his mask off to reveal his true self. "Listen Miles… I know I let you down with being a villain and all… but you need to be strong, ok?"
"What?"
"Be strong… destroy the machine, or we'll all going to die…" Aaron instructed. "You're doing well, Miles. You're on your way. Just keep going."
Miles continued to stay and talk with his uncle for a few more minutes…

"Damn you, Rhino…" Lizard roared in pain as he hissed at the sting coming from his side. "I'm on your side…"
"It doesn't seem like he cares about whose side you're on…" the voice of Ginny said.
Looking up, he noticed Ginny standing alone in front of him, the anti-hypno lenses not even activated.
Seeing as he could hardly move, Lizard snickered in her direction. "So it's come to this, huh? After all we've been through, Ginny?…"
Memories began to play through both of their minds of everything that has happened over the years in their dimension, and both of them realized something right now.
One of them will die in this battle.
Lizard sneered at the pain erupting from his side, but didn't think of dying at this very moment. The reptilian man still had one arm to fight and his tail. However, it was then that he realized that his tail had been cut in half and blood was oozing out everywhere.
"What?" Lizard cried in horror. "How… how? What happened to my tail?"
Ginny just looked at his severed tail lying nearby with a piece of sharp metal embedded into its skin. "Gwen managed to cut your tail off right after Rhino charged into you." At this realization, Lizard looked around for the teen. "You probably didn't feel it due to the pain from your side…"
The clock tower floated by the platform they stood on, its bells still repeating.
However, the Lizard started noticing something strange with each passing ring of the bell. His vision had started to become blurry, and his scales looked to be falling off, underneath all of it was his dark skinned human form.
Lizard grit his teeth as he stumbled around before falling to the ground hard. "AGH… the pain hurts even more now…"
Ginny paid no mind to her nemesis as she looked around and found a sharp piece of metal big enough for her to hold onto and webbed it into her hands.
Looking at the monstrosity in front of her, a Lizard who couldn't even fully transform back into a human, Ginny sighed with the thought of what she had to do next. "The time has come… Dean…"
His head snapped in her direction and growled. "One shall be left standing… and do you think it'll be you?"
He noticed her lightly nod at his question. "Only one shall fall…"
"I will kill you…" He wheezed in pain as he tried to stand up, but quickly fell to the ground again. Dean quickly propped himself up on an outcrop as he glared daggers at this ex. "After all this time… after the trouble I went through to get you back again… it just ends like this?"
"Fortunately." Ginny replied with a hint of malice in her tone as she began to take a few steps forward.
"Wait…" Dean cried, holding out his hand. "Let me live, and I'll change my ways…"
Ginny raised an eyebrow as she positioned the sharp metal piece in her hands to now face him. "Do you honestly think I will believe a single word you said?"
"Ginny… I…"
"FOR OVER TEN YEARS, YOU'VE BEEN TERRORIZING ME WITH YOUR PERVERTED HYPNOSIS. I WAS ALWAYS UNDER A MINDLESS TRANCE." Ginny screamed as she picked up her pace even faster. "YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH ME. WE BROKE UP. GET OVER IT…"
"I mean, right now you're just coming across as obsessed…" Gwen's voice ringed in his ears as he started to realize that maybe, just maybe, the teenager was telling the truth about him. He has had an unhealthy obsession with Ginny for over a decade, and he just now started to realize.
"Ginny… I'm sorry…" Dean's normal voice broke through the dark, hoarse voice of his Lizard persona. "I-I-I let some dark force take over me…"
"You really think I believe that? DIE." Ginny began to sprint at Dean with all the strength she had.
However, Dean noticed a shadow behind him, and spun around to catch Gwen who was also diving at him with a sharp piece of metal, and he began to put her under a trance, or at least weaken her mind.
When the teen stopped struggling, he tossed Gwen at Ginny, hoping the redhead would accidentally run her friend through, but alas, that plan didn't work as Ginny dropped the jagged piece of metal, dodged under Gwen and did a leg sweep, knocking Dean off his feet. Sent basically bouncing towards the edge, Dean only just managed to grab onto it with one hand, claws digging into the platform.
Looking down below him, his eyes grew wide in fear as he noticed a piece of debris full of jagged bars that was a part of his platform, waiting for him below to end him.
Ginny stepped on his hand as she looked down at him. He tried to appeal to her good nature one more time. "Ginny… help… help me…"
Taking a knee in front of him, Ginny took her mask off, so they could stare into each other's eyes. Hers were filled with justice and malice as she stared into his scared and desperate eyes.
In response, Ginny dug her foot into his hand. "AAAAGGGGHHHHAAAA…" He cried out in pain, now wishing Rhino would come and disrupt all of this.
"What are you waiting for, Ginny?" Gwen said hoarsely from behind Ginny, rubbing her aching shoulder. "Finish him."
Ginny smiled at Gwen before frowning again as she looked back down at her scared ex-boyfriend. "What was it that you said to me when we first met as hero and villain?"
"I am the Lizard… nothing can kill me but an object as sharp as your fiery temper."
A knowing look soon replaced the fear in his eyes as he looked up at the smirk Ginny now wore. "I should've realized then that you knew my secret identity… but it dawned on me now that, even though you were joking, you clearly told me your weakness…"
Dean's eyes grew wider in fear as he realized what Ginny meant, and tried swiping his free hand across her face, but barely managed to connect to anything but the outer layer of her suit, hardly damaging it.
Ginny whispered in his ear. "Long live The Hypno Lizard…"
Before he knew it, Ginny sucker punched him in the face, causing him to let go of his grip and began to fall.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
\\\\\
"It's over…" Ginny cried in shock and relief as Gwen came to stand beside her friend as they looked down at the down dead Lizard aka Dean Thomas, skewered on multiple different jagged bars.
Everyone in the room had gone silent when they heard the scream, and all looked just in time to see the Lizard falling to his death, half reptile and human.
But then Miles broke the stunned silence. "Hey guys, I got control of the thing, get up here…"
Ginny remained in shock, standing there for a few moments, before Gwen lightly touched her shoulder and gestured up to Miles. Ginny couldn't believe her eyes that Dean, who had been terrorizing her for so long now laid dead down below. It was surreal. All the pain and torture that lead to this moment now kind of felt worth it to her, but she wished Dean never turned out this way.
Putting those thoughts aside, the two Spider-Women quickly departed the platform to reunite with the team on the ceiling.
\\\\\
"This is it, huh?" Peni asked as they all came to a stop.
"Yeah…" Gwen said as she smiled at everybody. "I'm going to miss you all."
"Likewise." Noir spoke to the group, his voice sounding a little emotional.
"At least we all have these memories of kicking ass." Spider-Ham chuckled, causing everyone else to give a little laugh.
Ginny breathed a huge sigh of relief as she crouched next to Gwen and Peter, both of whom, smiled at her. "I can't believe the one villain that kept getting away from me is now dead…"
"Bastard deserved it after what he nearly did to me in there…" Gwen shivered with a frown. She noticed Miles looking at her a bit protectively and just smiled at him, liking the way her new best friend seemed to be worried about her.
"Alright." Miles said, pressing the goober into the insert slot. "I got the portal open. You first Peni." He smiled at the girl.
"Thank you, Miles." The little spider on her forearm jumped in glee, causing Peni to chuckle. "From both of us."
She then jumped off of Noir's back and into the portal below, the colors of it exploding into the colors of her own universe.
Noir looked back from where he had seen Peni go through her portal and addressed the group. "I… uh, love you all…" he then held up the rubix cube. "I'm taking this cube thing with me… I don't understand it. But I will."
With one final salute, Noir dove to return to his dimension.
"I want you to have this." Spider-Ham cried as he walked up to Miles with a mallet. "It'll fit in your pocket."
Miles just looked at him in amusement, but didn't question the gift.
Tears fell from Spider-Ham's eyes as he addressed the remaining group one final time. "That's all folks…"
"Is he allowed to say that? Like legally?" Peter quickly chimed in, right before Spider-Ham fell into the portal.
Ginny chose that moment for it to be her turn.
"Well? Are you happy to be going home?" Miles asked Ginny, who was still looking to be in a joyful shock at what had just transpired.
"Yeah… I can't wait to see my husband and kids again…" She smiled at Miles.
He also smiled back at the redhead. "You were like a sister to me."
This seemed to trigger something within Ginny as she leaned in to hug the teen. "And you were like a brother…"
Gwen and Peter stared at each other with smiles on their faces at the touching moment as the two hugged.
Ginny soon let go, saluted the trio and jumped down into her portal…
-Universe 1276-
Rain and thunder still reigned supreme as a portal opened up near Hadrian's Wall and out came Ginny, as well as the deceased Dean.
She didn't even give him a second glance, as his body still looked like a deformed monstrosity.
A voice soon broke the eerie silence. "Fire-Spider, do you copy?"
Ginny placed her hand to her ear. "I copy soldier. Damn, am I happy to hear your voice…"
"Where were you? We've been trying to get a hold of you for 10 minutes."
Ginny's eyes widened as she looked down at her watch. It had only been 10 minutes since she was brought to Earth 1610. Bizarre…
"Alright let's do this one last time."
"My name is Ginny Weasley, better known as the Amazing Fire-Spider. I'm sure you all know the rest."
"The last however many hours have been crazy… but I made some friends who I hope to see again someday, and managed to conquer my demons…"
"Despite all that he put me through, I'll still give Dean a proper burial. He deserves that kindness from me…"
Ginny soon came home to her husband, Harry Potter and their kids. They kissed and she hugged their children tightly.
After a while, Ginny told the story to Harry, who was hooked on to every word. From the battle at Hadrian's Wall, to discovering who the Hypno Lizard was, to the whole multiverse thing etc.
Harry was shocked, but he believed her, and was just happy she had gotten home safely.
"As long as I got my family, I'll remain strong."
"London is a dangerous place now that I am Fire-Spider… but now that the battle at the wall took place, much of the remaining Sinister Six are now behind bars across the world."
"I may be doing this job alone… but there's one thing that I know now and that is that somewhere out there are others like me…"
"I'm not alone like I thought I was… far from it. And that's okay."
"That doesn't change the fact that I'm this universe's one and only Spider-Woman and nothing will ever change that…"
Ginny is seen by many swinging into the sunset over the rooftops of London looking for her next adventure…
Meanwhile, in Nueva York
Universe 2099
"You're a bit late." Lyla revealed to Miguel as she appeared in front of him as he returned from whatever he was doing.
"We can't all be everywhere at once." he replied in annoyance.
"A little text might've been nice."
"I was gone for less than two hours; what happened?" He asked, a worried tone in his voice as multiple projections of Earth 1610 began to play around him of the final confrontation with Kingpin's forces.
"Okay, okay, okay. I know what it looks like… but, here's the good news…"
"Oh here we go."
"The multiverse didn't collapse." More images began to play of Miles Morales of Universe 1610 saving the multiverse, but Miguel didn't seem to care about all that.
"Oh cool."
"A bit of touch and go for a little while there… but it worked out…"
"Yeah, cool story… hey did you finish the goober?"
"It's not a goober. It's a gizmo…" Lyla said, annoyed that he keeps using that word.
Miguel rolled his eyes. "Do you always have to call me out? It's really frustrating."
A device began to appear in front of him as they continued to chat. "Don't get too excited, Miguel, it's just a prototype."
"Not exactly…"
"You could be the first person to make an autonomous multiverse jump… or the last…"
"Ok, so we're just going to roll the dice on this?"
"So what do you say pal? Where do you want to go first?"
"Let's start at the beginning one last time… Earth 67…"
TO BE CONTINUED IN
GINNY: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE PARTS 1-3
Those parts won't be out for some time until after I watch Across the Spider-Verse on digital when it releases August 8th.
I hope you enjoyed this 4 parter of Ginny being a Spider hero and going into the Spider-Verse and influencing those events.
The next one-shot will return to Ginny being hypnotized by snakes and all that before I do the Across the Spider-Verse stuff.
Thanks to Marcus. for the edits and story revisions in certain areas.
See ya :D
