In this chapter, Honeybee is going to get a nemesis...but first Kylie Carrie is going to test out her powers. Unfortunately, she isn't going to use her powers responsibly like Spiderman and Honeybee do. She's going to use them for evil. Mwahahaha.

Chapter 6: Nemesis

Kylie Carrie was feeling rather excited. Thanks to the formula she had consumed, she was now far smarter than before. She was also feeling stronger though...though admittedly that wasn't what the formula was actually designed to do.

Not only that, but she could now read people's thoughts.

Well, there was one exception. For some strange reason when she decided to read her rival Mary Jane's thoughts she was unable to do so. It's as if she had multiple voices inside her head or something.

It was rather inconvenient for her.

But on the plus side, she could still read the thoughts of others, and she felt rather excited.

However, she wondered if she could now do more than that now that her IQ had increased.

As it turned out, she now had the urge to pick up her pencil...without using her hands. She had dropped it on the floor and had been rather clumsy. She could just get another one from her backpack...but as of now she wasn't in the mood for that.

Curious, she wondered if she now had telekinesis. That formula was even stronger than she had first imagined. She was glad that Oscorp had decided to develop a formula like that, to say the very least.

As it turned out...yes, she did. She was able to lift the pencil and put it straight back up on her desk without having to lift a finger. It was rather convenient.

Smirking in satisfaction, Kylie Carrie resumed her work...or rather, she resumed cheating by looking at another person's paper. She was glad that he was paying so little attention...and that he always got such good grades.

Still, she wondered if the teacher was going to catch her one day. If he did, she would be in a whole lot of trouble, to say the very least.

Shrugging, she decided to see if the teacher was paying attention by reading his thoughts.

Fortunately, he was currently trying to drink his precious coffee.

"Heh heh heh..." thought Kylie. This was too easy.

When she was done, she handed the paper to the teacher, who did not notice a thing. Personally she wondered how a teacher could be so stupid. Oh well. It worked out for her just fine.

She was looking forward to getting a good grade on the test...that she didn't actually earn.

However, she now wondered something...maybe there was more things that she could do with her powers? She was looking forward to all the opportunities to be honest with herself.

Suddenly, she noticed a boy who appeared to be drinking orange juice unlike the other kids at the lunch table.

Curious, she decided to read his mind to see why.

As it turned out, he was apparently lactose intolerant.

This gave her a rather nasty idea.

Immediately, she switched the orange juice with some milk from the person sitting next to him.

Incidentally, that was a girl that she happened to hate...because she once spilled milk on her dress while she was taking her lunch to a nearby table. It took her a while to get the stain out.

Sure enough, the boy did not notice the difference, and began to drink his switched beverage.

Unsurprisingly, he began to cough and gag.

"Are you alright?" asked the girl next to him.

"I feel awful..." answered the boy.

Suddenly, he noticed that his orange juice had mysteriously been switched...and the girl was now drinking his orange juice instead.

"Wait a minute..." thought the teenage boy.

"Huh?" asked the girl.

Curious, she noticed that he was now drinking the boy's orange juice.

"What's going on?" inquired the teenage girl.

"Are you trying to poison me?!" exclaimed the teenage boy.

"What? No, I didn't!" bellowed the girl. She had no idea how their drinks could have possibly switched, since she was drinking it moments ago.

However, the boy was not convinced.

"Teacher!" bellowed the boy.

Immediately, his teacher came to the lunch table to see what the fuss was about.

Kylie Carrie laughed in delight. It looked like her new powers were going to be quite useful for her.

However, she realized that if she continued using her powers like this, maybe she would be caught. Granted, it seemed doubtful that people could pin things on her things thanks to her telekinesis if she was subtle enough...

...but she realized that sooner or later she might get caught.

Maybe she should try going by an alter ego instead.

From now on, whenever she decided to commit some crimes...she would call herself...Psychotic!

"Heh heh heh..." thought Kylie.

Now, all she needed to do was to get a costume. Personally she liked the color purple.

As such, after class was over, she decided to go get some purple hair dye, a purple mask, and a purple catsuit.

Thanks to her telekinesis, it was a simple matter of getting them.

Smirking with satisfaction. Kylie Carrie decided to put them on. Now she could really have some fun.

"Now then...who else do I have a grudge against?" inquired the teenage girl. There were a lot of people that she hated, to say the very least. Sometimes she wondered if people should just leave her alone.

Curious, she noticed that there was a boy waiting for the bus...a boy that had cut in line in front of her in the past.

Immediately, Psychotic knew exactly what to do. It felt so good to finally be above the law for a change. Now she could do whatever she wanted...and there was nothing the police could do to stop her.

"Hello..." stated Psychotic.

"Hey...perfect! The bus is coming! I can hear the engine!" exclaimed the boy.

Suddenly, he found himself being pushed on the road.

"Wha-" said the boy.

Before he realized what had happened, he found himself being hit by the bus.

Psychotic cackled in delight.

"Well, I guess I'll find someone else I have a grudge against..." thought the teenage girl.

Immediately, she went to look for someone else she wanted revenge upon...for petty reasons.

Unbeknownst to her, however...one of MJ's bees had managed to catch her committing such a crime.

Sure enough, he went to find her mistress.

As it turned out, Mary Jane was currently relaxing in the park, sniffing the flowers. She had to admit, it felt awfully good ever since she had become part bee.

However, as it turned out, it was time for her to don her Honeybee costume once again. One of her bees had witnessed a rather heinous crime, and he wanted her to do something.

"What? Some teenage girl pushed a kid in front of a bus?" asked MJ.

The bee nodded.

"That does sound serious...do you know who it is?" inquired the teenage girl.

The bee shook his head.

"She was in costume? Oh dear...we might have a supervillain on her hands then..." answered Mary Jane. Something told her that she had her hands full.

Shrugging, she decided to have her bees put on her Honeybee costume once again.

"Here I go..." said the teenage girl.

As it turned, Psychotic was planning to visit her neighbor...who had decided to TP her house last week.

She decided that she was going to ruin his house in retaliation...maybe she should steal something expensive while she was at it. That would make her neighbor very upset indeed.

"Let's get busy..." said the teenage girl.

"I don't think so..." answered Honeybee.

"What?" asked Psychotic.

Curious, she turned around, and noticed that it was none other than Honeybee herself.

"Oh, I've heard of you...I've heard that crime has drastically lowered ever since you decided to fight evil...personally I'm sick of what a goody two-shoes you are..." noted the supervillainess.

"That's just who I am." answered the superheroine.

"Well then...I happen to have a present for you..." stated Psychotic.

Immediately, she began to lift some nearby flower pots and toss them at Honeybee.

Fortunately, she was fast enough to avoid them.

"You're as fast as they say..." noted the teenage girl.

"I'm as fast as a bee...and maybe then some." acknowledged Honeybee.

This time, she decided to send some bees after her.

"Oh no, you're sending your bees after me! Whatever shall I do? How about this!" exclaimed Psychotic.

In retaliation, she picked up a bug zapper that was on near the lawn and used it to attract the bees.

Honeybee immediately tried to warn them.

"Don't move towards the light! Don't move towards the light!" warned the teenage girl.

Unfortunately, some of the bees got the message too late...and got zapped for their trouble. They fell on the ground, lifeless.

"Hahaha!" laughed Psychotic.

However, this made Honeybee rather angry.

This time, she decided to walk over to her and attack her with her hands.

Frustrated, Psychotic decided to attack her with the very thing that she was going to steal for some quick cash.

This time, she lifted a TV set.

"Sayonara!" exclaimed the teenage girl.

hFortunately for MJ, she managed to avoid it...well, mostly. The TV ended up breaking and a piece of glass hit her ankle.

"Ouch!" bellowed Honeybee. Unfortunately, it appeared that she was now bleeding a bit.

Psychotic snickered. It felt so satisfying to see her most hated superheroine in pain...then again, she hated superheroes in general. She thought that Spiderman sucked and was rather glad that the Daily Bugle hated him almost as much as she did. The fake newspaper stories they were writing were a hoot.

Suddenly, she found herself being splashed with honey.

"What the-" exclaimed the teenage girl.

As it turned out, she was no longer capable of movement.

"Curse you! This isn't over, Honeybee!" bellowed Psychotic.

"Oh really? I'm sure that the police department have a nice warm cell waiting for you after what you did to that poor boy..." pointed out Honeybee.

"I'll find a way out of this! Consider me your sworn enemy!" exclaimed the teenage girl.

"OK..." said Honeybee.

Immediately, she decided to call the police so that they could arrest Psychotic. Fortunately, they arrived momentarily to arrest her.

"You're going to pay for this!" bellowed Psychotic.

Curious, Honeybee couldn't help but shake the feeling that she had met Psychotic before...though she wasn't quite sure where. Maybe when she decided to pay Peter Parker a visit?

Sure enough, the police handcuffed Psychotic and loaded her in a van. She was probably going to juvie...

"Looks like a job well done." answered Honeybee.

And yet, she noticed that unlike The Giant, Psychotic had promised revenge...and wondered if she had seen the last of her.

"Well, I guess I'll have to get ready to fight her again soon..." noted the teenage girl.

Suddenly, she remembered the cut she had on her ankle.

"That reminds me...maybe I should visit the doc-"

However, she then stopped when she noticed that the cut had basically disappeared.

"Oh...I guess I have a healing factor now..." acknowledged Honeybee. Perhaps she didn't have to worry about explaining her injuries to her parents...at least for the time being. She wasn't sure how advanced her healing factor was. It might be best not to tempt things too much.

Shrugging, she decided to head back home.

Meanwhile...

Psychotic was very angry indeed. Honeybee had completely ruined her fun and now she was residing in a jail cell. Personally she wondered if her parents were going to bail her out or not.

However, she decided that she was not going to wait that long.

Immediately, she picked up the keys that were right outside her cell and used them to unlock her cage. Fortunately, it appeared that the police had gotten a bit careless ever since Honeybee had caught so many criminals.

Well, it worked out just fine for her.

However, the police officer that was sitting on the desk noticed her.

"Hey! Get back in your cell!" exclaimed the man, pulling out his police baton.

Suddenly, she remembered something. If she could read people's minds...maybe she could control them as well?

Shrugging, she decided to do just that...which worked like a charm.

"On second thought...you're free to go. Have a nice day now!" exclaimed the police officer.

"Idiot..." smirked Psychotic. That had been too easy. Apparently, all the donuts and coffee had gotten straight to his brain.

When she was ready, she would try fighting Honeybee again...but for now she wanted to bide her time. Maybe practice her psychic powers a bit first.

For the time being, she would revert back to her Kylie Carrie persona and would try to play it cool. She might use her telekinetic and mind control powers against others eventually...but she would try to be subtle.

"Honeybee's going to regret getting me arrested..." thought the teenage girl. She was going to pay for selling her out to the cops.

Soon she would have her revenge...but perhaps she would focus on easier targets first. That would satisfy her and allow her to develop her powers at the same time.

From now on...she would be her nemesis.

Meanwhile...

"Hey, mom!" exclaimed Mary Jane as she arrived back home.

"You're home a bit late..." answered her mother.

"Sorry...I decided to relax on the park." said the teenage girl.

"Oh. Alright then. Just make sure that we know where you're going..." stated the woman.

Personally, she wondered if she should tell her mother her secret identity...but she wondered if her mother would worry about her if she uncovered her secret identity.

It would probably be best if she didn't tell her mother about her double life. Granted, it was rather satisfying to live two worlds rather than simply one, but her superheroine life was much more dangerous than her high school student life.

Eventually, she would probably need to retire before things got too risky...but for the time being she was still glad that she got to be a superhero.

Yet at the same time she wondered if Psychotic would in fact become her nemesis.

Suddenly, one of her bees decided to tell her something...something that might concern her.

"Huh?" asked the teenage girl.

Apparently, Psychotic had escaped from prison, and had sworn revenge against her.

"I guess she really is my archenemy..." noted the teenage girl. Personally she found it to be a bit ironic that she was dealing with a teenage girl with psychic powers considering that she was a teenage girl who more or less had a hive mind.

Then again, considering that Spiderman was fighting a Halloween-themed supervillain a bit similar to himself, perhaps that was just the way things were.

Speaking of Spiderman, perhaps he would have advice of what to do when you had an archenemy that wanted to do all sorts of terrible things to you that didn't sound like fun.

Once again, she had her bee search for Spiderman...however, he decided to ask her if he could find Psychotic first to see if she was causing trouble again.

"That might be hard...if I were her I'd go into hiding and plan a rematch against me...I think it's best if we find Spiderman before we search for her. But I appreciate the concern." stated the teenage girl.

The bee began to fly happily, though he was still a bit worried about Psychotic. Apparently she would be stronger the next time she and his mistress decided to battle.

But it appeared that Mary Jane would be ready to cross that bridge when she came to it.

Once again, she managed to find Spiderman somewhat easily. She transformed into Honeybee and decided to talk to him again.

"How do you keep finding me so easily?" asked the teenage boy.

"Well, I happen to have help from my insectoid friends...if you catch my drift. Besides, my vision is pretty decent too...though admittedly it's not as good as yours..." noted the teenage girl.

Spiderman shrugged. He supposed that made sense.

"Anyways, I think I have an archenemy now...sort of like yours. Do you have any advice? You always seem knowledgable about being a superhero...you could even be my mentor..." acknowledged Honeybee.

"Well, if I were you I'd try not to let them discover your secret identity...I've caught Green Goblin spying on me a few times...apparently he wants to know my secret identity so that he can hunt me down. I'm not sure why exactly he wants my identity...but I think you should make sure that they don't find out..." answered Spiderman.

"He does sound like a stalker..." noted the teenage superheroine.

"Fortunately, my spider sense always manages to catch him...do you have a defense like that?" asked the teenage boy.

"Well, my archenemy has psychic powers...so she might try to read my mind..." noted the teenage girl.

"That is a problem...I bet Green Goblin would be jealous that someone could use mind powers to read someone like a book...that would make finding out my identity a lot easier..." acknowledged Spiderman.

"Heh heh, yeah. Wait, don't bees have a hive mind?" asked MJ. For some strange reason, she got the feeling that someone had tried to read her mind earlier today...but she had failed.

"If you do, you might be somewhat safe from her powers...I would advise you to keep an eye on your surroundings to make sure she isn't spying on you though..." warned Spiderman.

MJ nodded. Perhaps her bees would be up for the task.

Hopefully she would be able to handle her archnemesis and keep her under control. What supervillains would she face next?

It looks like MJ has an archenemy now...see what I did with her supervillain name? Heh heh heh heh...

...and yes, that's not the last we'll see of her.

In the next chapter, MJ's father is going to be abusive towards her again...but something will go wrong for him.
