COUGHS. MORE SPIDER-MAN MISSA AU

The Ender King targeting Missa is a very fun scenario for me because he’s doing it without the knowledge that Missa is Spiderman/El Catrin. He’s doing it because he’s Missa!! A normal civilian, close to Philza, an easy way to tear his heart up if anything happens to him. Truthfully, the Ender King doesn’t care about Missa/El Catrin, he only wants to hurt Phil through any means necessary.

(More under the cut)

I imagine he has something like long range hallucination powers? Astral projecting? Either way, he’s absolutely terrorizing Missa with hallucinations of people and things aren’t there.

Missa doesn’t know what to make of it at all. El Catrin/Spiderman has been targeted plenty of times, sure, that’s normal for him. Being a vigilante doesn’t come without risks like that, no matter how nerve-wracking. But this isn’t El Catrin being targeted, it’s Missa. Normal, plain, unassuming Missa. With Ender King’s powers suffocating him, he can’t be El Catrin. If someone can terrorize him that easily without being there, just in his head, who’s the say they can’t do the same to Spider-Man? That they can’t recognize his mind, connect the dots, pull him apart?

But The Ender King is still hurting him, and possibly other people. Missa can’t put on the mask that makes him better, but he has to do something. Anything. He can’t just let this torment happen to other people. He can’t just let this guy run around, doing what he wants. So he has to shed his disguise of Spider-Man, and he has to throw himself into stopping this as Missa.

Secretly, in the moment, he’s glad his family is missing. He misses them dearly, his heart aches with the thought of them, but he can’t imagine involving them in something like this. Where his identity is targeted, where they’re all in danger because of him. He’s doing this alone, sure, but nobody else is involved deeply. Nobody else gets hurt if he fumbles. Just him.

(And then Philza finds him.)
