Prey Game

Miguel O'Hara x Spider person! reader

WARNINGS: MINORS DO NOT INTERACT. Mild nsfw, research about spiders, sexual tension, needy and reactive Miguel. Wacky behaviors of spiders.

Summary: Miguel discovers what your venom can actually do. The Hard way.

Requested here

Miguel had seen his fair share of Spider agents parading in the HQ. But in all honesty, never on his life thought than an actual Black Widow would be the catalyzer for a new agent to be born. You. Spider Black. Or Widow as some nicknamed you.

The bright red hourglass emblem on your chest, sent a clear message. Danger. At first, Miguel thought that you had been venomized by the overall type of suit you sported. A suit that for some reason was almost leathery-like, made out of an enzyme that melded like a second skin to you, thanks to the scientist in your world.

Your dimension was... Chaos itself.

It made sense for him that a Spiderwoman as equally brutal appeared to contain the spiraling mayhem your city was drowning in. A form of twisted balance. Even Jess had her own concerns when you were first introduced to the Spider Society TF.

You were the last resource to contain anomalies that turned out to be a real challenge even for seasoned Spiders, with the condition of doing it solo.

Not because you thought yourself invincible, no. It was to avoid any potential collateral damaged agents in your wake. You were vicious, just like the young and radioactive black widow that had bit you. Sometimes you couldn't help it, your DNA had been modified to the point of you adopting some qualities proper of the species.

You were a loner, not that you didn't get along with the rest, the constant chatting and bustling inside turned to be quite overwhelming to your senses. Your fingertips, had tiny, almost invissible little pointy slits that served as receptors. You could feel someone's heartbeat with them, along the rush of blood pumping through their bodies.

But the wackiest things you actually had in your repertoire, was your venom, nested in the natural talons you had for nails. Awfully painful and mind shattering.

Miguel had seen you fight, and when your mating season started, he'd noticed you'd stalk your enemies, patiently in the shadows preying on them with hunger and the outcome, was surely not for the squeamish.

Sometimes Jess thought that you were too much.

Had he made a mistake in taking you in? No. Surely no. You were one of the best. A force to be reckoned with.

You just watched him from the shadows. Ever so nimble, quiet and secretive.

------

His senses were thrashed. Hands trembled, trying to hold on the handles of the door. It was painful, but why it felt good?. It fucking felt too good and he didn't like it one bit.

He glared at you through hazed eyes, shivering mouth, panting softly. Fangs prickling his bottom lip, bared at you. The small punctures of your nails in the base of his neck, bleeding softly.

You smirked at his state.

But oh his groin. You licked your lips. Mating season was still on, and for some reason, your ever stoic serious and grumpy Boss, was now on the floor, a mess of raged breaths, some whimpers escaped him as he tried to stand.

"What's wrong?" Your voice soft, sultry and laced with sarcasm and something else. Hunger.

Even though sexual cannibalism wasn't a feat proper of the Latrodectus species, it still could happen in a 2% ratio. But you wouldn't actually eat him, no. Right?

His body reacting so different to everyone else, made him the exception, but not the rule. Your pupils wide blown as he slumped in the wall, talons out, growling in anger.

"Don't" He hissed as you approached him. Slow, deliberate. Prowling over him with a satisfied smile on your pouty lips.

He gasped for air as sweat started to ooze from his forehead, he felt so out of himself. Out of his character and element. He wasn't in control for once, instead he was slumped against one of his office walls, trembling like a rabid dog in need, raging boner between his well sculpted thighs.

"I mean it." He grunted through clenched teeth, trying to put his senses in order. You kneeled next to him, the alpha-latrotoxin, your venom, rushed through his bloodstream, came out as a delicious pheromone to your senses. You licked your lips again and gently ran a hand through his neck. Pulse quickening, just as his heart.

Powerful and rhythmic beats echoed beneath your fingertips. God he was delicious.

"You wanted to see what my venom could do. Why are you complaining?" You'd chuckle and nuzzle his neck. The contact sending a violent shiver down his spine.

"Can't handle it?" You licked the flesh of his neck. So tender and thrumming in gentle spasms.

"Want me to do something about it?"

His Adam's apple bobbed and his fist clenched. Eyes flashing red, but not in anger. Your mouth salivated at the sight of him. Slowly, tortuous seconds stretched too long before you gave a feathery kiss in his neck, right above the jugular. He shuddered.

You bit softly, relishing the texture of his skin between your teeth. To your surprise, he took a hold of your hair and pushed in further. A quiet 'keep going'.

Giggling playfully, you licked and kissed between the base of his neck, teeth sinking in further with a little more force. An involuntary pleased groan escaped his lips, your smirk widened.

Soon, you were biting his neck, leaving marks, marks that he'd surely have to explain later. But for now he didn't care, the new sensations although making a muddle of his senses, were slowly wiring him into a unexplainable urge to be bitten. Devoured.

Cause in reality, some black widow males spiders just wanted to be eaten. Even going to the extent of placing themselves in the maws of the female spiders. He wasn't from your same species, but his reaction had surely made your hunger enhanced and your body receptive.

None would actually believe you if you'd tell them that your venom made Miguel a needy mess.

"I... I fuckinghate.. you." He slurred in between hefty breathings.

"Your body loves it, though. It's quite the feat to see this... side of you, Boss." Your hands trailed down his groin and he shut his eyes tightly. A sharp inhale as you squeezed.

"But don't worry, it only last for a hour." You whispered in his ear, and removed yourself from him. He gulped, hand lingering in the air.

"See ya, Boss" You swayed your way out to your dimension, leaving him there. A jumbled and hard mayhem.

"Hey" a voice said from the corner. Startled, you whip your head back to find Jessica caressing her tummy as she sat down on a chair, making herself quite at home. She was a couple of months along now and, by the looks of it, very comfortable in her pajamas.

"Jess, it's not safe for you and the baby...." you sigh, looking back at your computer to resume your work. Jessica urged you to take a break, to sit down and have a conversation but you only shrugged it off by mentioning you were almost done.

"You know, I'd thought you'd hate working here" she watched your back, waiting for a reaction. "There's a lot of wonderful technology here that my Earth doesn't have..." you trail off, focusing more on the work in front of you. You were so close to the end, and although Jess was wonderful, you just wanted to finish things before relaxing.

"I meant, I thought you'd hate working for Miguel"

You looked back at her with furrowed brows, pausing your work, she knew what made you tick and used that to her advantage. Miguel was your boss and there was nothing to hate except his attitude. Sometimes you couldn't stand him, but the combination of advanced technology, your own space, and a mini fridge- definitely outweighed any of his moodiness. It took a lot of convincing for you to join, and had you known he was this broody you probably wouldn't have joined.

At the beginning, you were stubborn on joining the Spider Society because you had thought it was a pity invite, given that you felt you were more intelligent than agile. Although you admit your body was pretty strong and durable- it was only because your parents had enrolled you in a strenuous amount of classes that ranged from dance to karate- and even cooking. The classes had helped with getting into a good college that allowed you to pursue your dream career, but you never sought out anything besides yoga.

When you got bitten by a radioactive Black Widow you thought it was the end of your story, that your years of classes and college were coming to an end, eventually you realized that you weren't actually dying. And as time went on you started to see the new things you could do, and you embraced them. You were excited, you began practicing moves and spent a lot of time learning how to use your webs properly. You felt like you could become a hero, save lives, and become a beacon of hope for your city.

After some rough events that left you feeling depressed, you decided that becoming a hero was no longer something you could pursue. You felt upset about your own decision for days, you felt useless doing nothing but you felt the same way doing something. The life of a hero felt emotionally, and physically, taxing on yourself and the people around you. With time you managed to overcome the guilt and began to understand that there were different ways save people.

Your new path was to be promoted at the Alchemax company in your world- they were good, you had deemed it so after hearing what they had done in other Earths. Eventually you wanted to lead a research department that could help hospitals, and homeless, worldwide.

Even though the current path was similar to that of a superhero, you still felt an immense guilt in your chest. You thought that your powers were a miracle that should be used, but you couldn't, it's not what you wanted anymore and if you went back now- it would only make things worse.

Miguel had spent many months sending Jessica to your dimension to convince you to join the Spider Society. Every time you gave a different reason to reject the offer, feeling as though you wouldn't bring much value to the team.

It only took the man himself showing up at your apartment, on a Tuesday at 3 am, for you to join. He explained thoroughly why he wanted you, although crude, you felt recognized for something other than your powers. It felt like he provided the missing reassurance you needed, you joined.

"He leaves me alone for the most part, the only interactions we have is him sending me emails, and me going to his 'office' to give him his drugs for the week," you let out a soft laugh, you had to admit, was very handsome under all of the stress, responsibility and arrogance. Despite his handsome looks, you still thought he was an asshole that needed to comprehend people better.

"He's demanding though, and... AND rude" rising from you chair, you scrunch your nose and walk to the coffee machine. There's only so much water could do for your nerves if you continued to speak about Miguel's attitude, as of recent it had been worse and you had no idea why. You tried to understand but he'd only shut you out and demand you leave him alone.

"He just want things to go accordingly for the multiverse... even if he's a little-"

"Harsh? Come on, he basically called me useless the other day because I misread the number seven- SEVEN" you raise your voice while adding stuff to your coffee. Holding the sugar container in one hand with a tight grip, it made you upset that he wasn't considerate of his words. You had worked hard to prove he could trust you, and that he hadn't made the wrong choice but his attitude made it hard to work with him.

"That's why I've been late on my reports, ideas, paperwork AND his serum. He needs to learn to respect people, especially me, who makes sure he doesn't go apeshit" Jessica raised an eyebrow at your statement, sure you could be late on paperwork but, being late to give him his liquid gold? The thing he needed to not lash out on his instincts? The thing that helped him keep his powers? She almost thought it was cruel, but she knew you felt stressed and didn't want to make it worst by making you feel bad.

"That sounds cruel but I promise it's not-"

Before Jessica could reply, a deeper voice spoke.

"Oh yeah? Let's talk about that"

It was Miguel and your heard started to pound faster, your hand gripped your coffee cup tight in hope that he hadn't heard what you said. Your nerves grew as you looked around and watched him emerge from a corner, his suit glowing bright with every step, even the way he walked spoke volume about his attitude.

Sure, you had problems with him but you sure as hell were not telling him about them, it's the last thing you needed. He had practically built this place from the ground up and could see everything that everyone was doing if he wanted to- even you, sometimes it creeped you but at this moment it felt erotic.

"Miguel she's stressed she probably didn't mean it, give her a break" Jess watched his back at he made his way towards you, "This isn't about you Jess" he spoke with a quick glance at her, her face dropped to a stoic expression that scared you and it wasn't even directed towards you.

"Miguel" you groan as you watched him walk towards you, hands on his hips as his eyes narrowed at you through his mask.

"I need to talk with you" he leaned down a little to your level, the eyes on his mask narrowed to mirror his face under it. Was he really that mad at what you had said? It's not like he hasn't said worse, except he usually doesn't feel bad about it.

Something about his proximity made you hot despite the growing tension, but it wasn't the nerves anymore, you suddenly felt hyper aware of everything around you but it all slowly led down to the man I front of you, something about him made you feel this way, something smelled so good and it was coming from him, was he wearing some type of cologne? What was so different?

"S-Seriously, you could at least tell me beforehan-"

"You wanna explain to me why-"

"Oh wow, I have to go to the gyno" Jess said abruptly while slowly getting up from her chair. You and Miguel turn to her with confused looks at the sudden declare but her eyes held the same expression as before.

She raised her hand to stop you from saying anything.

"I'm not gonna stick around for an argument, you two need to figure it out" she spoke with a look to Miguel. With a brief smile towards you she walked out the doors that shut behind her and the tension in the air became more obvious as the two of you were left alone.

"I give you one job, and it's to follow my formula, but instead you decide to be unprofessional and talk about me behind my back" Miguel's brows knit together as he looked down at you with glowing red eyes. You tried speak but nothing came out, not because you were intimidated, but because you felt your chest heave with heat at the sight of his crimson eyes.

Closing your eyes you take a deep breath to center yourself and shake off the feeling of imploding heat that was blossoming at your core. Looking back at him you found him pacing round while he muttered things in Spanish that made your tummy churn, pushing your feelings aside you take a deep breathe to center yourself.

Was this a hormonal imbalance?

"Why does it bother you so much this time? I told you 2 weeks ago I was backed up with stuff on my earth and that your-" You were abruptly interrupted with the speedy sight of him in front of you, his eyes were darker and held an intense look like he was analyzing your every feature. He was so close you could feel his breathing tickle the skin of your cheeks, it made the heat blossom inside of you again.

"I've been trying to hold it together and you think it's a game?" He seethed, inching closer until you could practically brush your nose against his, your heart pounded at the notion he was merely inches from being able to kiss you. Forgetting the coffee in your hand you attempt to raise a hand to his cheek but he stopped you by grabbing your wrist with a fast motion, the grip was tight but not hurtful. With a small wince you look up at him again only to see dark look wash over his features, were his eyes more vibrant now?

"Don't," he snarled, not breaking contact with your eyes. Why did you find his anger so attractive? There was something behind that look in his eyes that was pulling you in, the more you stood together the more your body felt attracted to him, so much so that you were starting to feel turned on with your walls pulsed in an erratic way that needed him.

Why the fuck is this happening?

"Y/n" he whispered in a way that made your back shiver, you noticed his eyes look relaxed and rather dazed like he was hot under his suit. Could he be feeling the same way as you? Did he want you as well?

"Y-Yes?" your voice was shaky, breathy, and basically pleading for him for him to do something.

His face slowly leaned down into yours, turning to the side only to brush his lips softly against yours w. Your eyes widened, you could practically hear your heart pounding in your ears as he finally pressed his lips against yours.

Moving against your lips slowly he lowered your wrist to the table behind you. The same hand he used now held your hip steadily as the kiss grew deeper, heavier, and wetter. His tongue prodded your lips and with a small squeeze to your hip you allowed for his tongue to explore your mouth.

Your head felt hazy, and your core pulsed more than before in anticipation. Pulling away from your mouth with a string of saliva connecting you both, you bat your eyelashes up at him with the hope that things progress into something more intimate.

His breathing was rapid yet heavy, and his eyes were full of lust and want with the way you looked up at him. His grip on your hip tightened as his eyelids drooped to admire the saliva on your lip that threatened to fall, before it could drip down to your chin he smashed his lips onto yours- licking the saliva into his own mouth.

His tongue lapped at your lips, and pushed through to feel every crevice within your mouth. With shaky hands you place your arms around his neck as you let him do whatever he pleased, weaving your fingertips into his hair you tug on them a bit which only earned a deep groan from him.

Pulling back from you, he stared intently into your eyes before abruptly wrapping a hand around your throat and applying pressure to the sides. Your eyes closed and your core pulsed repeatedly at the tightness of his hands around your neck, moaning softly into his face you open your eyes to find a droplet of sweat on his forehead.

"You like that, hm? Princesa?" He whispered into your ear, a whiny moan escaped your throat at the feelings of his lips on your ear, using the hand on your neck he maneuvered your face to the side- leaving your neck exposed to him.

You could feel your nipples were fully erect as they pressed uncomfortably against the material of your bra. Opening your eyes, you look down at him only see an intense, and hungry look on his face. Keeping his eyes locked onto yours he pressed his lips onto the delicate skin of your neck, planting small kisses that burnt onto your flesh in a savory manner that made your core gush with arousal.

"M-Miguel..." you mutter as you close your eyes to bask in the pleasure of his lips on your skin, tightening the grip on your throat he bit onto your neck unexpectedly. Gasping at the bite, your fingers held tightly at the hand he had wrapped around your neck- using it to stabilize yourself as he started sucking at your neck, the way his lips enveloped your skin and his tongue worked against you felt like he was trying to feed himself off you.

His actions came to a stop, the hand on your neck had gone too and you opened your eyes to be greeted by an empty view of your lab filled with bright-lit screens and papers scattered. Just like it was before Miguel appeared. Lifting your hand up to your neck you feel the marks of his teeth along with the saliva on your neck that left a warm spot at the touch. In a moment of heat and desperation you bring those fingers to your mouth and suck on them, he was gone for now and and the only trace you had of him was the remnants of his mouth n your neck. Sucking and licking the tips of your fingers making sure to intake any trace there was of him, moaning into your fingers you suck the tips before pulling them out and imagining they were his.

You were still in a hazy view of want and need for him, it would be hard to forget this moment if you saw him again. With blouse and slowly sat down on the floor, holding your chest with both hands you try to slow down your breathing.

"Where did you go..." you whisper to yourself as a pang of sadness hit your chest at the thought he left during a moment where you weren't arguing for once. It had all felt so good but to you, it would've felt better if he had stayed.

Calming down and regulating your breath you realized you would have to see him tomorrow to give him his dose for the next week. You didn't know if you wanted to see again after leaving you just like that.

You hated him for leaving you like that without a trace but you hated that you wanted so much more than just a couple nips to the neck.

--- 🕷 ---

Back in your universe, you were laid in bed watching TV as you thought about the events of earlier, the things he whispered into your ear, the way he touched you, the way his lips felt on your neck and the tight embrace he held around your neck.

Throwing the blankets off you head off your dresser where your dildo was. You had never really used it before as you were always busy with work but today was different, there was a man that awoke something inside of you that had laid dormant. And that man was your boss, Miguel.

Kicking your bottoms off you lie down on your bed again and spread your legs open letting cool air hit your nether lips in a tantalizing way. Discarding the dildo to the side, you bring one of your hands down to your pussy, rubbing in an upwards motion that spread the wetness up to your clit. Groaning at the sensation you rub your erect clit in a slow circular motion, the feeling alone had you throwing your head back with a breathy moan.

You drew your legs up and in until it was just your core fully exposed to the atmosphere of your room, circling your clit faster you used your other hand to lift up your shirt and and rub at your nipples with a feathery touch. The simultaneous stimulation made you moan as you felt your walls clench fast, you had been so desperate to relieve yourself that you could cum at any moment.

Pulling and twisting your nipples you start going faster, your breathing becoming more erratic and you could feel the coil in your abdomen start to come undone but before you could finish you stopped. Your pussy quivered at the denial as your chest hiccupped from the intensity of being so close to the end, it felt like your entire body was spasming and dripping with heat from the denial.

You throw your shirt off quickly and lie back down to spread yourself open again. Rubbing your fingers up and down with a moan you slowly insert two fingers inside of your wet warm walls that quivered around the length of your digits. Pumping your fingers in and out slowly you moan at the idea of his fingers being the ones inside you filling up your throbbing pussy. Hooking your finger in a little you lift you back from the bed at the sensation of your softest spot, pumping in particularly hard at an angle that made you pussy drip more liquid gold onto your sheets.

Your walls pulsed erratically around your fingers as you sped up, your mouth contorting into an 'o' as you felt yourself growing closer. Bringing your other hand down to rub your clit at the same pace you moaned his name as you continued to imagine it was him driving his fingers into your wet hole.

"F-Fuck M-Miguel-" your clit quivered and the coil in your belly came undone, your insides gripped onto your digits harder trying to prevent them from leaving, your body secreting juices that trickled down your anus and sheets.

Pulling your fingers out reluctantly you slide them down to your anus and circle the rim in a slow teasing manner that aroused you again. Pushing a finger inside your eyes fluttered at the pressure- you began to pump in and out in a very slow motion using the wetness from before that made it easier to move in and out.

With your other hand you rub the head of the dildo on your clit in a fast circular motion, hooking the finger in your ass you pumped faster while your clit quivered into a second orgasm. The walls of your ass started to clench as your finger brushed on the soft spot that sent shockwaves to your pussy. You started panting heavily as your pussy and ass throbbed simultaneously, getting closer towards being tipped over the edge you went faster, until your pussy started dripping onto the sheets again.

Pulling the finger out of your ass with a small pop, you grab the dildo and line up the tip with your dripping hole, you felt anxious and excited to be filled up with something thicker than your digits. You slowly ease the tip in, and with a loud moan you began to push the rest of the length inside of you until it fit snuggly in your walls.

"Miguel... fuck me p-please..." you whined as your pulled the dildo all the way out only to smack it back in, pumping in and out with a steady speed where length brushed against every itch within your walls that needed to be filled. Your started getting faster as you thought about him pumping himself inside of your pussy to breed you and use you for his own pleasure.

Your tummy churned as you started to near the edge again, the images of him bent over you driving his cock inside of you, filling you with his cum and knocking you up was enough to to send you over the edge. You slowly rode out your orgasm with the image of him painting your insides full of his seed and filling you up until you were dripping onto the sheets. Coming down to a stop you sighed as you body shook at the intensity, no one had ever made you so wet just by thinking about them.

Your body ached and yearned for him, it was truly strange as you had never felt this way for anyone before. Miguel was different and something about him had set your body ablaze in a way you couldn't stop.

"How the fuck am I going to face him tomorrow..."

Part five and final of Jess Reads Fierce Valor as we reached his post WWII military career, his retirement and last years of his life

Notes: Please read the book and take your own conclusions if you can, this is my view and my own clonclusion from my experience reading it

okay now really not much happens, he got married for a second time, stayed in the army, got divorced again

he came to the veterans reunion in 1947 and then never showed up again until some 50 years later

he made his final combat jumps in Korea, he had like 4 which was like a LOT

btw do you guys remember Albert Blithe from the series right? Right! the guy lived after recovering from his wounds and actually served in the 187th Infantry Regiment, guess who was the company commander? thats right! our very own bald man

ok so he worked and had time studied Russian and became the governor os Spandau, at this time there was already some cold war shit going on

speaking of shit, his german was shitty (so is mine!!!) so he couldn't quite undestand the prisioners but played chess with one of them??

Ah yes got married and divorced again

trained and organized some stuff for the the Royal Lao Army and some more army duty??? but nothing interesting is said really

he was then Lieutenant Colonel and worked with the Pentagon, it says that his army duty came to an end in 1964 but his name came up in army records in 1965 at a special division, so he had some function? was he a spy? we will never know for sure

okay now he is retired, married again (the man was a machine), had some health related problems and had to do some heart surgeries, like 5 of them or even more

at this point he was really introspective over his life, then the Ambrose book came and old man was PISSED because guess what??? Ambrose didn't even bothered to actual fact check his book and Speirs felt that he did dirty to his first ex-wife and even to himself

Dick became his biggest advocate and tried so many times to reunited him to the last members of Easy but he couldn't, he even begged Speirs but remember he is a Taurus so he said no again and again

toward his late years and after the release of the book he was afraid some n30-naz1s would come after him for some kind of vengeance so he asked for his name adress and personal info to be removed so Dick was the only one who knew hot to contact him

then there was the reunion for the screening of Band of Brothers and he finally showed up after his last wife made him show up and it was really emotional, Matthew Settle just watched the real Speirs and Dick watching the first ep and then Matthew showed up on his door and asked him to sing his cast, cause he got hurt his feet somehow

oh right forgot to mention that he loved his poodles, he was really into square dance (I don't know what the hell this is don't ask me), had some weird hobbies like pan for gold on rivers??? also normal ones like playing golf and he was also a nice elderly to his grand-sons and great-grand-sons, nephews, nieces and stuff

he had really bad PTSD specially while sleeping ans even after being retired he couldn't relax while sleeping and always eat his food fast.

he wouldn't let people kill spiders, like black widow spiders because of the William Wallace story and because he served in a company that the symbol and nickname was one

also he didn't talked about his army life like AT ALL, he said it was harder for him to remember things since he spent great part of his life om the army while the other guys served like with one company and that was it, for me it's clear it was bullshit he was so hard on himself and self critical on the basic stuff he didn't so one can only imagine how he dealt with the heavy stuff

his final years he was losing his strength, already loss great part of his hearing and was so ashamed of it and was really frustrated and miserable

after his death this one person of his family took his ashes and spread somewhere in a beautiful lake near the Canadian border where he rests today, quite emotional really

Okay so overall this was such a great reading, it's really a testament to how complex, mysterious and sometimes twisted his character really was.

I loved how the authors didn't pushed any agenda or narratives, I feel like they did a good job because they didn't tried to justify any of his actions, they just wanted to bring as many facts to the table as they could so we, as readers, could come up with our own conclusions

Mine is: He was crazy indeed, he did some questionable stuff and it took it's toll on him during and after the war, but also really cared for the man on his side, he sure could be cruel, flawed, cold blooded, impetuous and a true killer, but at the same time protective, respectful, really smart and incredible skilled as a leader, so much that everyone respected him for it, some loved the man dearly, some despised and that it was what truly amazed me by

A big thank you to everyone who followed my dumb takes during this reading, it was really fun to do!!!

Warnings: cussing

Pairing: hobie x black! reader

Content: earth-65 scene

Notes: in this story specifically miguel is in his early 20s and looks at yn as a little sister while she looks at him as a older brother

Extra Notes: yall ima be so real, we DO NOT like gwen in this story, what so ever, she can kick rocks and throw pebbles. but in this chapter yn likes her for now...

you were standing to the side with jessica while lyla spoke to you, jessica and miguel “vulture is currently on earth-65, which mind you could ruin that universe if we don’t do something. like NOW!” miguel scowled and mumbled something in spanish you didn’t understand “i’ll be back” he said as he opened a portal looking back at you and jessica.

you looked at miguel before speaking “see ya later” you said with a smile and thumbs up, he nodded at you before walking through the portal. you turned to jess “shall we?” she laughed at you before before walking away you following right behind.

—

a few moments later lyla appeared on your watch "miguel needs back up" she said hiding a laugh "we'll be there soon" you said before she disappears.

you and jessica rush to grab her motorcycle her going into the portal along with you on the back. when earth-65 came into view jessica took her motorcycle and pushed him back just to pull him back in with her webs and spinning her wheel on his face, you jumped into action after her, jumping off her motorcycle and into the air and punching him to the ground below before swinging over to jessica and landing next to her after she did her dramatic entrance.

you landed next to her in a graceful manner before looking over to see this earths spider woman looking at you both with wide eyes "spider woman" "white widow or spider woman, whatever" the girl kept staring before finding her voice "me too."

"are you uh?" jess looked shocked before she remembered she was pregnant "oh this," as she put her hands on her now swollen belly "we dont know the sex yet my husband wants it to be a surprise. hes really corny. but SO hot." "will you adopt me," jess and you made eye contact immediately before saying at the same time "what?" "what? what?"

"guys, can we focus on the big, fire-breathing threat to time and space, please?!" all three of you look over and see miguel still fighting vulture "oh shit, right big medieval vulture villain" you said as you ran away right after jess.

you jumped on jessicas bike with her as she drove on the wall miguel joining the both of you as you watched the girl fight the man bird, "what about her?" "no" miguel deadpanned. you joined in "come on we need more spiders in the ss" "no" you started smiling under your mask finally taking your white and gold headphones off "is it because she called you all those names and let vulture pretty much beat your ass??" he glared at you "no." "do you say anything other than no" jess said annoyed "no-" you chimed in "yes he does."

"why not" he looked almost annoyed at her question "you know why." he said before you rolled your eyes and jumped from the motorcycle miguel following close behind you "ill help get people out" you shouted at him "ill get vulture" you swung to the ground grabbing people and helping them to the nearest exit. the next thing you knew the glass ceiling at the top of the building exploded and was coming down "oh shit heads up yall!!" before you went back to grabbing people "dont let him out, he'll disrupt the cannon" miguel said as he and vulture went out the once glass ceiling.

you didnt know what happened outside but you knew a helicopter was coming down into the building, you watched as the spider woman of this earth started making a large spiderweb as to sstop the copper from hitting the ground. you sprung into action.

you, miguel and jess ran over grabbing the helicopter with your webs trying to break the impact. your webs were burning your fingers with how tightly you were holding them and doing your best to go against gravity, fortunately the helicopter didnt hit the ground and everyone was safe.

you stood next to miguel as he grabbed vulture "thats what i was gonna do" you looked up at him "mhm sure you were, lets get the hell outta here, some of us have a warm bubble bath calling their name at home."

but before you could even turn to open the portal you heard yelling, you jogged over to see what was happening the girl took her mask off and the officer which you assumed was her dad because thats what he was calling her aimed his gun at her. out of instinct you grabbed the gun and pulled it away from him and miguel threw a device meant to trap anomalies to trap her father.

"hey. hey. hey just breath we got you right miguel?" he sighed "lyla, scan this mess" her scanned around you all "no further anomilies, canon remains intact." miguel pressed a few buttons on his watch opening a portal back to hq.

jess walked to miguel "we cant just leave her here, shes doing this on her own" miguel was silent "c'mon mig, if she stays here her pops will put her in jail, that could mess up the canon as it is" miguel looked at you before sighing deeply as he looked back at her "i dont know how to fix this" the girl said quietly as you looked back to miguel "yea well, join the club," he said throwing a watch at her.

you smiled at him "i knew you hadda heart somewhere under that cold demeanor" you said laughing. "zip it." he said sternly before walking into the portal you following behind "wowww mig, allat over what i said your so dramatic and for what."

jessica watched the interaction between the two of you she knew miguel cared deeply about you, hell he even looked at you like his little sister, she also knew hed do anything for you. the only time he showed even a flicker of emotion was when talking to you, but you on the other hand seen all his emotions and knew him better than most people in the ss.

she watched as the two of you walked through the portal miguel repeatedly telling you to "shut the hell up", she looked at the girl one last time before walking through the portal.

You Can’t Always Save Everybody.

(Miguel O’hara x Spidersona!Scarlette Web)

Chapter 4

Last chapter ~ Next chapter

Words:1276

Miguel and Peter went back to HQ. They were going to need to plan this out. Scarlette Web… He still had a hard time believing that Valentine had turned to the side of evil. He looks at the one picture of her he had. He drags the holographic screen in front of him. She had been in the lab working on something and Layla saw how Miguel was looking at her, her makeup done and her hair pulled up and out of the way. Wearing a lab coat over her dark blue and black spider-suit working away, she was…beautiful. Lyla had taken the picture and showed it to him later. He had been embarrassed at the time, this was a woman who had been widowed, and her husband was him in her universe, he shouldn’t…he couldn’t, but now…He wishes he wondered what would have been different if he had just told her…

“Miguel, we have some more information on Val- Scarlette Web’s location.” Jessica Drew walks in, her slight slip up was something they had all been struggling with. Someone they all knew, turned to the other side.

“Go Ahead.” He says sternly.

“We think we’ve found the Lab where she’s working out of in her universe. Do you want me to assemble a team to do some reconnaissance?”

“No, I’ll go alone, she’s too dangerous to risk a team.” Miguel doesn’t want to go into the real reason. He wants to deal with her alone, See if there’s a chance to get Valentine back.

“Okay…call for back up if you need it.” Jess looks at him with a cocked eyebrow, knowing there’s more to this than danger levels but she wasn’t going to fight him.

~

Miguel watches her from the skylight at the lab as she injects herself. He can’t but cringe slightly as he sees the way her body shutters at the reaction to the drug. He wonders if there’s any way to bring her back from this. To give Valentine a second chance, but was it too late? Miguel watches her for several hours as she works around the lab. Entirely focused on the task at hand, she has no idea he’s there, her spidey senses dulled by the MERCY.

Sometime after the sunset set and the streetlights had come on, Valentine had moved to another room, she was lying in a hospital bed that she had been sleeping in. Miguel approaches the bed and looks down on her. Her raven black hair falls in her face and he has to resist the urge to move it out of her face. She looked at peace in sleep, not at all like the spiteful villain she had become. Miguel wasn’t sure what to do now, does she wake her? Does he take her out? As he’s weighing the options she starts mumbling in her sleep.

“Ngh…Miguel...” Valentine rolls over as she mumbles his name. Miguel logically knows that she’s probably dreaming about her husband but he couldn’t help feel his heart skip a beat. He gets on his knees next to her bed and takes her hand in his.

“Chiquita…I’m here.” He mutters as he runs his thumb across the back of her hand. Her hand was so cold, and small. Miguel takes his other hand and runs his fingers through her dark hair, pretending even for just a moment that everything was normal. Pretending that this moment was the moment he wanted, the moment where she had fallen asleep in his home, after a long night of talking, or watching movies. But that wasn’t was happened, this was a horrible situation.

“Tiger?” Valentine’s eyes fluttered open, in the dark she couldn’t make him out really, and with the drug affecting her mind…was he really there? Miguel hated himself for what he was about to do.

“Hey, Val…Mi amour…How is my precious wife huh?” He asks with a smile, Dear god he’s an idiot.

“Mig…I gotta be dreaming…”

“And if you are?”

“Then…it’s a good dream.” She smiles at him.

“I’m glad…Why are you here? Why are you not in our home, in our bed?” Miguel feels bad as he deceives her in her sleep and drug addled state, but at the same time he enjoys the feeling of her loving eyes gazing on his.

“Tiger…I’ve made…I’ve made some choices I’m not proud of baby…” She scoots over and pats the bed for him to get up onto it. He hesitates but he does, his tall frame not quite fitting on the bed but they make it work, she’s laying on his chest as he cradles her in his arms. He’s thankful he thought to disengage the suit before coming in here, knowing this charade wouldn’t last with his Spiderman logo emblazoned on his chest. A simple t-shirt and Joggers was all he wore.

“I know…Chiquita…Have I come too late? Is there no chance to convince you?” He asks as he caresses her face with the lightest touch.

“I don't think you know...It's... more complicated. I don't know if you really want to hear this”. She sighs and closes her eyes. “MERCY...it doesn't completely take over the brain. It just...gets rid of the guilt of killing. It makes it easier. I still made those decisions Miguel...I wanted to kill those people, I just didn't want to feel bad about it. It felt...good. I liked it. That's what MERCY does...” She clings tighter to him. Tears rolling down her cheeks as she admits the full truth of the situation. “That’s why I can't go back not after what I've done...not after choosing to be this way.” Miguel feels his heart sink.

“I-I see. Oh Valentine. Why? Why would you do this?” He asks as he brushes the tears away from her face. He’s thankful that in the dark she cannot see his own eyes start to well up with tears as he hears the one thing he hoped not to hear.

“I…it’s a long story…” She sniffles.

“Then tell me mi vida…Tell me.”

“After you died…I was recruited to this group, A multiverse of Spidermen and Spiderwomen, and so much more. And the leader…Well, He’s you. But from a different universe. He and I…well we became friends and things were good, but this kid Miles, he comes and things get nasty. Miguel wasn’t the same after that…and Things just…Miles said something to me that I just couldn’t shake. I had chased him all over the damn city and I finally caught him and he looks at me and he said, that if this is what it meant to be Spiderman, why would anyone stick around? And I…I let him go. I didn’t think Miguel even knew but after the whole ordeal was over Miguel…He treated me differently, and I had no idea why. And one day he stopped talking to me, He seemed to forget about my existence and…It was like losing you all over again. I was entirely alone. I couldn’t handle it. The last time I saw him…He just chewed me out for failing an impossible mission and I couldn’t take it. I left and never looked back.” She sighs. Miguel remembers this fight, he remembers how she looked after, the cold dead look in her eyes as she left his office…that was the last time he saw her, before she emerged as Scarlette Web.

“And so…you turned to the side of evil…Because of this…other me.” He whispers.

“Yes, and I have a plan. I’m creating a device…it will separate this universe, from all the others…so that no one will come here again…and hopefully…slowly. It will fade from existence…and so will I.”

A Team Rocket Fic! Well, it was inevitable.

I needed to write something for my first ever blorbos - especially as their retirement draws near!! Plus, I’m in my feelings right now and I’ve been watching a lot of old school Pokémon for comfort.

Jessie is standing in line at the PokéMart (forty more Antidotes piled up in her basket; her latest clutch of Ekans just will not stop biting each other, the little brats) when, out the corner of her eye, she sees a shock of black hair crammed under a red-and-white cap.

Something swoops in her stomach, and she turns so quickly her hair takes out the person in front of her in line - Jessie apologises, though deep down she’s pleased she’s one step closer to being served. But no. She’s trying to be nice, now. Turning over a new leaf. They all are. So she forces herself to simper “ahaha, sooo sorryyyy” - all the while frantically scanning the PokeMart. Why is he here, she specifically picked a town without a gym to set up her breeding centre, there was simply no reason for him to...

Ah. No. Of course it wasn’t the tw...it wasn’t him. A little boy, chasing his new Charmander around the store, laughing so hard he couldn’t breathe. Drunk on his new freedom, away from Mom. Jessie knew that feeling. When her first clutch had hatched, she’d invited the boys over and danced the night away, tiny ribbons of purple Pokemon slithering around their feet as they swigged from a bottle of fancy wine. One had bit Meowth on the tail, and he’d yowled so loud that the neighbours had knocked on the door to make sure she was okay. She was usually such a quiet member of the community, after all. Once they’d gone, satisfied she wasn’t being killed, Jessie and James had laughed until they felt a bit sick. She had given them the grand tour soon after; delighting in the fact she now had her own bedroom, an en suite, a wardrobe for all her outfits! A living room! A couch! Look, fellas! And it all belongs to me!

The boy finally corralles his Charmander and they leave. Off on their own adventures. Jessie shrugs, turning back to the counter just as the guy behind it called her forward. He doesn’t even look like that, not any more. He’s big now; broad shouldered, but still dumb as a box of Geodudes. She and the boys had gone to see him battle at some tournament a month or two back; she’d called it her vacation for the summer. James - Mr. Fancy Designer - had stumped up for swanky digs, and they had good seats for once, instead of wandering the aisles dressed as hot dog vendors. Going straight had its perks when your best friend spent his days selling dresses to fancy widows and flirting with their equally rich sons.

The kid had used Pikachu. Of course. His battling style - barrelling ahead blindly, resorting to a Thundershock if he was backed into a corner - hadn’t changed in all this time. He hadn’t learned a thing - but, Jessie supposed, they hadn’t either. He’d won his match, and whooped so loud you could hear him over the commentators. The more things change, Jessie had thought, as she screamed along with him, James’ arms wrapped tight around her waist in glee.

“Back again, Jessie?”

She nods, and the clerk laughs, ringing up her Antidotes. “By the way, my sister’s Ekans evolved last week. She called to let me know.”

“Oh! That’s wonderful!” Jessie smiles, and she means it. “She took one of my first babies. Alyssa?”

“Amara.”

“Close enough, right?”

“Ha. Well, she’s racking up victories somewhere past Celadon. Arbok’s her main partner, so at least I know she’s safe out there with him to watch over her.”

Jessie thinks back to her own nights sleeping under the stars, her own partner resting his gigantic head on her stomach. She can still picture every groove in the scales on his belly, every marking on his hood. Jessie bites down on the desire to cry until it vanishes. “That’s...great.”

“Here you go, Jess. And a free Premier Ball; special offer this week if you spend enough.”

That offer was just on Pokéballs and she knew it. Maybe he was flirting with her? She was gorgeous, after all. But she already had two men in her life, and she didn’t need any more.

Meowth was staying for a few days; he bounced between her house and James’ apartment. They joked it was a custody arrangement. He’d been sitting on the roof a lot recently, staring at the moon most nights. He had these sad periods, now that they weren’t on the road as much. Jessie didn’t know what was worse; Meowth screeching in that awful accent and following her around yammering about nothing, or just sighing and mooning and taking up space. For such an idiot, her friend sure did think a lot.

Jessie was thinking she’d get him to look after the new clutch for her for a long weekend, pretend she had admin to catch up on for the new Trainers who were looking to adopt. She’d caught him in there with the hatchlings before, purring happily to himself while they crawled all over him. Meowth always did have a paternal streak. Or, more accuratly, a desperate, clawing (ha) need for affection. Same difference. Maybe she could entice him in tonight, and they could watch a movie. He loved Hollywood blockbusters. He could snuggle on her lap, if she swore she wouldn’t tell James.

“See you next week,” she calls over her shoulder to the clerk.

“Bye, Jess. Hope all those Ekans don’t cause too much trouble!”

She winces. Something akin to an electric shock runs through her, and she can almost hear the music pounding in her head. The words would come so easily, if she let them. Along with everything else. Everything in this PokéMart would fetch a pretty coin with the right buyer. Plus, all those lovely Pokémon running about would get her in very, very good favour. She could burn this life down in a second and run away - back to what she’d known for all those years. Simple, easy, comfortable villany. But she knew she didn’t want that any more. None of them did. So, instead, she turns on a dime, and waves to the clerk.

She says;

“Don’t worry about me! I’m prepared for trouble!”

Laughs at the private joke.

And leaves.

Jess Watches // Fri 29 Mar // Day 184 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Call the Midwife (with mum) 7x06

A recently widowed expectant mother faces hardship, Valerie and Lucille's teenage health class is met with opposition, and Sister Monica Joan prepares for her cataract surgery.

Please teach young people about their bodies! So much confusion and shame goes away when it can be talked about openly. And I hope SMJ gets all the sweet treats she so desires as she recovers from the cataract surgery.

The Patient (with mum) 1x04 Company

On the threshold of crisis, Sam honors the promise Dr. Strauss made him make as a condition for continuing their work together. The trust built between patient and doctor is tested, with a life in the balance.

Is Elias pronounced differently in the US? because here we'd say El-eye-as but he said Elly-as. Maybe that mispronunciation was the last straw with Sam and that's why he's now duct taped in Sam's basement.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (rw) 3x16 Doppelgangland

While casting a magic spell, Anya and Willow accidentally summon Willow's evil double from an alternate universe.

Even with all the leather, neck-licking, wandering hands, and "i think i'm kinda gay," all I could think was: How did Willow get her tights on to a passed-out vampire version of herself?

Chicken Nugget Ep 6

Baek-joong and Sun-man learn about Tae-man and Dr. Yoo's histories with the machines - and how one eventually arrived at More than Machines.

Lots of talking and sharing of information. Unfortunately not as silly as previous episodes. I hope they don't lose that going foward. Also, were the restaurant owners eating raw chicken?!

Amphibia 1x04 The Domino Effect / Taking Charge

Anne wants to keep a caterpillar as a pet, but she'll have to keep it a secret from Hop Pop. / The family embarks on a mission to try and recharge Anne's phone.

My sister has a black cat with white markings. When will she turn into a Kill-a-moth? (the cat, not my sister) (Unless...)

sin! what did you think of the new spider-verse movie? :D

I liked it a lot!

So far I'd say I liked the first one better; I thought this one was maybe a little on the long side and could have run a bit shorter, but I also don't think I can make a definitive judgment about which is better because we haven't seen how the cliffhanger is going to resolve yet and it seems unfair to compare them when the second one only has half a plot arc finished.

I am not really a person who likes the Spider-People side of Marvel at all, mostly because I hate spiders and I hate looking at spiders or pictures of spiders and a whole lot of the Spider-People put big ol' spiders on their costumes and also we tend to get a lot of origin-story pictures of spiders so that's kind of a big personal nope for me. I make an exception for Jess Drew -- who is in this Spider-Verse movie, hooray -- because her costume is not very spidery and also even though her origin story does involve genetic material from spiders, Marvel doesn't make me look at pictures of spiders mostly. I would also like to read more Black Widow comics at some point but I am not sure how much spider is in there -- I know she's not actually a Spider-Person -- or if it's more of a metaphor.

I mention this mostly so you will understand the extreme barrier to me liking Spider-Anything, but I think the Spider-Verse films are great and I really like Miles and I think they've captured how cool multiverse comics plots are in a way that the main MCU so far seems unable to do, in my opinion. Like, I have watched a whole lot of superhero movies and I understand that they all have varying goals with respect to what kind of adaptations they want to be and how close they are to canon -- but so far the Spider-Verse movies are the only movies that, for me, have captured the exact feeling of reading one of those massive summer event crossovers with dozens of tie-ins and a giant escalating plot. Not so much in the exact canon faithfulness or anything, but just the way it feels. I walk out of the movie theater thinking that this movie understands why it is fun to read comics and I like that about it.

Also, I really like Spider-Rex. His name is Pter Ptarker. I'm still not over this.

-Elisa-

The other side of the portal opened into an almost office building that was built for spiders. Miguel wasn’t lying, this place was wild. Hundreds of spider people, all of them taking the same concept for their vigilante persona, and shifting and molding it until it fits themselves. It was amazing to see.

A band smacked her wrist and Miguel had been the culprit. “Keep that on until you get your own watch.” He warned.

The hairs on her neck stood up at the strange feeling the bracelet was giving off. “Why?”

“It’ll stop you from glitching while outside your universe.”

“Glitching?”

As they walked past, a strange noise came from above, alerting every spider to who was being tortured. Everyone looked like they were waiting for a chance to help the unrecognizable blob of light and gray static, but they couldn’t touch him. A spider-man in a black trenchcoat fell from the pillar he was walking on. He fell to the floor, directly in front of Elisa.

He jumped up in a second, shrugging off the fall and catching his hat out of the air as it took longer to fall from the pillar. “Sorry doll, I oughta go get this fixed.” He leapt off the side of the bridge and swung back around to presumably someone that could repair it.

“Got it.” She nodded. “Glitching is not good.”

That didn’t look very pleasant.

“Elisa.” Miguel caught her attention, leading her back until they came upon a darker room with loads of cages. One of which sputtered as the prisoner lunged at Elisa, but was stopped by the energized wall.

The prisoner stood as close to the wall as he could while staring at her. He was a fairly buff man that kept his eyes on her. A black substance spread across his muscles and a toothy figure emerged from his shoulder, and she froze.

Step back, he’s clearly hostile.

His eyes flashed with recognition, and Elisa’s blood went cold. “Oh, sweetie. You’re in trouble here.”

Step back, dumbass!

She was unfrozen and flinched back from the prisoner, nearly without her own permission, but she was glad she didn’t stick around long enough to embarrass herself in front of some guy from another universe. However when she turned around, the look on Miguel’s face made her sure she’d manage it anyway.

“Sorry, did Brock recognize you?” he asked.

“Who? Oh! Uhmm… sure, something like that.” She trailed off.

“Whatever he said, don’t let it get to you. If he recognized you, then he’s probably from a universe that has a version of you.” Miguel said. “All he can do is get on your nerves.”

He can get into brains too.

“So how do we find Clara?” Elisa finally asked.

“I told Jess to make sure the other Claras are accounted for, and if we can’t find one on 5302, then to make sure Olivia Weaver is still alive.”

“The Widow on 5302 is named Olivia Weaver?”

“I’m guessing you know one.”

“I graduated with her.” She recalled. “It was a sophomore year field trip to the Oscorp Laboratory. I guess something as small as a spider landing on a different girl’s shoulder can be the only difference between universes.”

“Miguel?” A voice from one of the screens in the wide room rang out. “Miguel, Olivia isn’t answering my calls.”

“Have you found Kassidy?” Miguel asked.

“I sent the group to go check the prison. I trust them not to engage.” Jess advocated.

“Alright, tell me what you find when you get back.” Miguel said, shutting off the connection, and calling someone else. “Peter, what’s your status?”

The man on the other line was currently sticking to the side of a building while he used his watch to communicate with Miguel. He had his mask on, but Elisa knew how that mask falls against her face, how it moves against her brow, cheeks and chin. Peter was scared.

“Uhhh… Things don’t look too good here at the prison.” Peter choked out. He must have pushed some buttons because the screen to the left blinked to life with the footage of the news from that universe.

The helicopter that was getting the footage circled around the penitentiary where there was a substantial amount of destruction with clawed marks in the outside wall and the fence that held the prisoners in the yard had been torn right down the middle and whatever had been released was feral and on the loose.

The reporter on the ground said the prison had identified four escaped prisoners, and eleven dead.

“Meet up with Jess immediately, we need to verify that Olivia is still alive, and that Clara has in fact left the universe.” Miguel commanded. Peter nodded and cut off the connection.

Miguel took one look at her and could easily identify that Elisa was barely standing.

“You mentioned that Carnage escaping sets off a Canon Event for the spider.” Elisa said before Miguel could get out a word. “What’s a Canon Event?”

Immediately, the expression on Miguel’s face didn’t spark any hope for Elisa’s situation. “A Canon Event is an event that happens in every spider’s life. The details may change based on people in that universe. But in every universe, a spider loses someone close to them.”

“You also lost your uncle?”

“That was before you became Widow.” Miguel clarified. “But in Widow’s life, we don’t know exactly what it is that Carnage does to Widow because we have yet to find a Widow that survives it.”

“Who are the other Widows?” Elisa asked.

Miguel obliged her, and she immediately understood the line of this multiverse that the Widows occupied. They were all from the same girl’s private school, and they all were in the class that went on the field trip to Oscorp’s Laboratory. Each one of them facing Carnage in their universe one after another. It looks like this time it was Olivia’s turn, but so far, they had no idea what a widow could do to ensure her survival.

Or if Widow was ever meant to survive this.

What could Carnage and Clara do to this group of women that could possibly define their lives as Widow?

“This is going to happen in my universe.” Elisa easily figured.

“Elisa, don’t mess with the Canon-”

“I can’t mess with the Canon, Miguel.” Elisa clarified. “There’s nothing I can do to stop Carnage from coming after me. I’ve already met a symbiote, but I bet they have too, and all I can do is survive. If they failed because they didn’t do what they needed to, then I’ll do something else.” She finally looked up at Miguel who was somewhat surprised. “So, get the rogue, alien-powered, serial killer out of my universe so I can deal with my own, currently mental illness-powered, serial killer.”

“Okay.” Miguel held his hands up in surrender to go back to coordinating the search. “Looks like the squad successfully regrouped, and they found Widow on their way to locate Clara’s equipment. If it’s certain that Clara used her equipment, then we can take a sample of Olivia’s DNA and make a tracking device to figure out her general location, especially if she’s glitching.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Elisa figured. “Should I worry about having two Claras in my universe in the meantime?”

“Peter from Earth 13122 is monitoring your universe while you’re away.” He explained

“You did all of that while we were in the portal?” Elisa finally asked, since his list of tasks while flying though the void was becoming impossible.

“Actually, Lyla updated me on everything Jess set up while I was handling the immediate emergency in your universe.” Miguel pointed out, and her little hologram blinked into existence, standing on air.

“You guys are really streamlined around here, huh?” Elisa noted. “Sounds like you might not need me, especially if you already have twelve other Widows.”

Miguel gave a strange look, since he could definitely tell she was trying to deduce something. “You’re a gifted spider. I’d personally like to add you to the team.”

That doesn’t give you much.

Shut up. I know what I’m doing.

“Do you think I’ll survive Carnage coming to my Earth?” She asked flat out.

Well, that’s definitely not alarming.

Shut up.

“If there is a way, I trust you to find it.” Miguel said.

He really believes it?

“Miguel!” A voice she could identify as Jess echoed through the room.

Elisa wasted no time hopping down from the platform to meet the group. She had only seen Jess and Peter, but the other two in the group were interesting to say the least. The third member of the group was a spider-man in punk gear, with spikes aligned on the head of his mask like a mohawk, and he carried a guitar slung over his shoulder. And the other was a cartoon pig in a red and blue spider-man suit.

But the one that they brought back was who she was really interested in. They both stood at nearly the same height, Olivia being somewhat taller than her. Olivia’s suit looked a lot like Elisa’s old one, being mostly dark blue and silver where Elisa's old one was dark red with black web patterns.

Can she see?

“Elisa.” She acknowledged her.

“Olivia.” She said back, trying to hide her nerves from the group.

“Nice to meet you, Elisa.” Jess nodded.

Peter stepped forward to introduce himself, but faltered a moment. He took an entire step back, and took a closer look at Elisa’s face. “Have you ever met a symbiote, Elisa?”

Stop that.

“Yes, I have.” Elisa said.

Don’t say that.

“So you’ve met Venom.” Peter figured.

Get out of here.

“I did.” Elisa ignored the panic.

“It was a pretty powerful symbiote. Did you beat it?” He asked, and suddenly Jess was also stepping back. The punk was picking up on something too, and Olivia was also looking closer, and her gaze landed on her eyes.

“It got away.” Elisa said with a measured voice, not taking her eyes off Peter.

They know. Get out of here!

Peter gave a small chuckle. “Where’s Venom in your universe?”

Elisa finally glanced to Miguel. His expression was mixed between fear and disappointment.

Just get out!

She finally listened to it. Venom crept up her neck and covered her face in the mask, and Elisa made a break for it.

“Where would we find an exit?” Elisa asked, dashing down the halls.

"They’ll need some way to transport the prisoners back to their own universe." Venom figured.

The man with his own symbiote banged on the wall of the energized box. “The machine will take too long! You need a watch.” He yelled at her, but she didn’t have time to wonder why he was helping her.

An announcement went across every spider’s watch just as Brock had warned her. “Stop that Widow, she has a symbiote!” Peter’s voice alerted every spider in the building, and suddenly, her sense picked up everyone’s eyes on her.

“Well, that’s just perfect.” Venom said, but Elisa noticed that everyone was watching, but nobody was acting.

“We’re stronger than them.” Elisa realized.

“All of them!?” It hissed back.

Elisa stood up straight and put her arms out. “Do I have to tell you I’m ready, or do all of you still need a moment?”

All it took was a mechanized suit rising up out of the crowd and making an attempt to grab her.

“Venom,” She had it’s attention, “just don’t kill anyone.”

With Venom free to do as it pleased, her senses and reflexes were amplified to a point that she often didn’t have time to process all her actions as Venom took control. Elisa knew she dodged the mechanized suit, but there was no chance she could get into the mech to get the watch, so she abandoned it. The next few people that made an attempt to restrain her were able to also stop her from grabbing their watches, but she had to abandon another that she had only used as a platform for her feet to launch off of.

Elisa shot a web at the wall and pulled herself up to it so Venom could get a good look at the group. It was a split second to Elisa as she looked at the crowd of spider people now locating her with their own heightened senses that were falling just short of hers and Venom combined.

The squad that had found out was here, but she had yet to notice Miguel. The Peter that found her out was the first to try meeting her up by the wall, but when she leapt across several pillars and stopped on the glass window, Elisa suddenly realized the plan here. She didn’t know who would be the first to attempt making a grab at her, but it seemed that the most likely was the one that had evaded her senses until now.

When Miguel tackled her, Venom set off the trap. It shattered the glass behind her and forced all of them down the outside of the building.

“Elisa, you need to come back.” Miguel attempted to convince her, but he still made an attempt to restrain her, but in her wrestle to get free, Venom used a sly arm to switch her bracelet for his watch.

“I need to go home!” She barely broke free from him, and she typed the number she remembered. 4167.

The portal opened as soon as she stuck to the outside of the building, and she jumped in. She broke through into the rush of the path through the multiverse, but Miguel wasn't far behind her. She eventually landed in Brooklyn and nearly got clotheslined by a streetlamp before Venom managed to catch it just right and swung around it to stand on it.

She took off the watch and waited for Miguel to come out of the portal.

He did, and had a much easier landing than Elisa did. His feet landed safely on the ground without any problem. She just tossed the watch back to Miguel, who caught it with some surprise at her small act.

She shot a web and began swinging back to her apartment. She needed to get her Clara in prison before the invading Clara found her.

Venom retracted the suit back into hiding inside of her as she got dressed to do some basic investigation to hopefully put her away. Clara won't go down easy since she's already seen as Oscorp's Physicist Savior.

"You know Miguel is here, right?" Venom alerted.

"Yeah, I'm trying to not let it bother me." Elisa paid his noisy steps no mind as she worked on the long process of disguising her scar beneath a cocktail of makeup.

Miguel wasted no time confronting her. "You care to explain yourself?"

"Not particularly, no." Elisa admitted.

"You kept the symbiote!"

"I have a name, lab rat!" Venom crept out of her shoulder and snapped at him with its jaws.

"Venom, back off." She chastised half-heartedly. Surprisingly, it listened.

"You seem to have it under control, so what happened?" Miguel asked.

"Not much to it, really." Elisa shrugged. "Venom fell out of the sky, and was supposed to be a scout. It bonded with me, and we decided we could be a better Widow together. I respect Venom, and it respects me."

"And, do you feed it?" He asked.

"Of course I do." She answered obviously. "Every once in a while, we come across a situation where the only way out is to eat someone, but usually, I just make sure to stock up on chocolate." She pointed to a cupboard that she knew to be comically full of a variety of chocolate sweets. The baking chocolate, saved for emergencies.

"You just let it eat people?" Miguel asked with rising concern.

Elisa stood so Venom wouldn't jump out at the offense. She didn't stand anywhere near eye level with Miguel, but it was threatening enough with a man-eating alien on her side.

"If you were given a choice between unfathomable power or falling just short of protecting the people you love, what would you really choose, Miguel?"

Miguel fell silent.

"That's what I thought." She figured and went back to covering up her scar. "Now, I'm gonna go make sure my Clara is in prison or eaten, and you and all your spiders can do your job to get Olivia's Clara out of my universe, and when you take her back, I never have to see you again." Elisa pushed him back so she could leave out the hallway, but it shouldn't have surprised her that he barely moved.

“It’s not about the Canon anymore, Elisa. It’s just-”

"Hey, you should check the news." Lyla's voice came from the watch, and Elisa groaned, grabbing the remote and clicking on her TV.

"Police were given an anonymous tip about vital evidence in the Butcher of Queens case, which led them to the identity of the serial killer, Dr. Clara Kassidy, who is being questioned now here at the precinct-"

Elisa just turned it off. Venom knew exactly what this meant, and covered her in her suit as she angrily stripped off the clothes that covered over the suit now.

"Catch your maniac and get out of my universe, Miguel." She called back into the room as he watched her climb out the window and swing away.

Elisa found a payphone a few blocks away from the precinct and made a call, several people stopping to stare at the odd sight. "Captain Stacy's desk, how can I help you?"

"I take it the Captain is questioning the suspect right now?" Elisa figured at the woman's voice instead of a gruff, old man.

"Um… yes, who is this?"

"Tell him to make room for one more." Elisa stated simply before hanging up.

Once swinging down the block, the entire street was crowded with reporters and news vans, and even a helicopter. Elisa slipped into the precinct from the roof elevator that she had jimmied the lock in, and she found her way through the building, unseen.

Capt. Stacy's office was at the other side of the wide open room, full of cubicles, but she wasn't hiding anymore. These police could try all they like to shoot or catch her, but she wouldn't even need Venom to get out of this if it went wrong, and she wouldn't even have to dodge the bullets anymore because of the protection Venom offered. These were just regular, non-radioactive people.

It took nearly a full minute before someone actually noticed she was standing there.

"O-Oh! What are you doing here, Widow?" He was a young officer, who's expression must have been colored by horror stories of Widow when she was rooting out Physk's corruption in the police.

"I need to speak to Clara Kassidy." She said, walking toward the interrogation room that was guarded by two men with guns. Elisa stood in front of them with her back to the rest of the room that had gone silent, all of them knowing that everyone in that room had shot at Widow at least once, and none had ever taken her down. She didn’t make any moves to get past them, only looking oddly at their anxious faces. “Can I get a quick word with Captain Stacy?”

One of them just knocked on the door and opened it. “Captain. You should get out here.”

The shorter man with thick eyebrows and a bushy mustache like all the hair on his head had just slumped down over his face leaving a shiny, bald head. His huff of annoyance turned into strict alarm. “What are you doing here, Widow?”

Behind him, the ajar door left an opening just large enough for Elisa to catch the eye of Clara Kassidy. Dark eyes stared her down with a soft smile on her face, sitting upright and keeping her hands politely folded on the table. Elisa’s heightened senses picked up on the smell of dried blood and slick metal table where the sheer amount of it on her arms and hands didn’t have the time to dry through the car ride here, and where it had dried on her clothing and matted in her red hair.

“I have something I need you to be aware of, but might not be great to say in front of a serial killer.” Elisa said freely, and Stacy shut the door behind him and brought her to his office.

“I gotta say, Widow, I figured you’d be found dead before you’d be found in a police station.” Stacy chuckled, leaning against his desk and watching her closely.

“The news says an anonymous tip gave you Kassidy. Do you know who called it in?” She asked.

“In all honesty, ma’am, I thought you did.” He said. “You said there was something I ought to know?”

The other Clara would know.

I’d have to make sure she hasn’t met the other Clara.

“I was gonna tell you to make her believe it was me.” Elisa said. “I have reason to believe someone turned her in because they clearly knew about what she was doing for a while.”

“You think she has an accomplice?” Stacy asked.

“At the very least, she had someone staying silent for her.” Elisa confirmed. “I might be able to get more information out of her if you let me ask her some questions.”

Stacy let out a long sigh. “You’re lucky I already owe you a favor for getting me promoted.”

“I ate your boss’ head, I’m not sure that counts as doing you a favor.” Elisa wonders out loud.

“And you’re gonna try and convince me not to pay you back now?”

“No, sir.” She followed after him, where he stopped before opening the door.

“I’m sure I don’t need to tell you to keep your damn mask on, but don’t let her even start to figure you out. She’s a conniving witch, I warn you.” Stacy said with utmost urgency, but quickly corrected himself before bravely opening the door.

Clara’s gaze immediately followed Elisa. Standing in front of her was like stepping into a different kind of time. Clara had no signs of delusion or drunken bloodlust despite the state of her. She sat upright, legs crossed politely, and face so practiced in giving no signs of disagreement that if it weren’t for the remains of whoever she had killed tonight still staining her skin and clothes, she’d have assumed this to be a regular scientist at the height of her career.

Widow sat in the seat opposite of her and mimicked her polite stance. Clara watched, intently awaiting whatever event might entertain her in the moment.

“Clara.” Elisa acknowledged.

“Widow.” She replied.

“You meet anybody interesting during your time serial killing?” She asked.

“I’ve met you many times, Widow.” She said confidently, but leaning closer to Elisa to mimic that she was sharing a secret with her. “All you had to do was ask.”

“What about someone that hated you more than me?” She pressed. “You got an ex? A partner? Someone to dispose of the remains once you were done?”

Clara’s head tilted like a focused animal. “You weren’t the one to turn me in.” She accused as soon as she realized. “Oh now that’s a sweet twist, isn’t it?”

“Can you think of anyone that might have wanted you caught? Out of their business?” Elisa asked, hiding comfortably behind her mask.

“That’s the sweet part. I have no idea.” Clara smiled. “I never worked with anyone, and you know that if they found the specimens, they would have just led the police to them. Instead, they knew to steal my notes from my safe at Oscorp.”

Stacy was right, she was smart, but Elisa wasn’t too worried about that. What worried her was the alarming prospect that for some reason or another, the invading Clara wanted this one in prison, and thinking back, it made sense.

“Where did Miguel say Clara and Carnage meet?”

She wants to create another Carnage.

Elisa abruptly stood up and left, leaving Clara chuckling while chained to the table.

But she wasn’t even sure where she was going. Everywhere seemed to be the wrong place. MJ probably wouldn’t be happy to see her. Not unless it was for work reasons. Going Home would probably mean confronting Miguel again, and she wasn’t about to face that mess again. For a brief moment, she considered detouring all the way to the maximum security prison to see Oscar, maybe he’d have some answers.

“You already know where you’re going, dumbass. Why pretend like you have any dignity left?” Unfortunately, Venom was right.

Her limbs absent-mindedly got her to the apartment where she slid the window open and silently slipped in. This was one person that probably wouldn’t let her in if she knocked, but she had to try. She took off her mask out of habit and threw it down onto what used to be her side of the bed. Just her luck that he stumbled on her now.

His expressions were always unreadable to her, but at the very least, he didn’t immediately throw her back out the window. “Elisa.”

She swallowed all the nerves that had knotted into a ball in her throat. “Eddie.”

The Benedict Cumberbatch Netflix Western That’s Surprisingly Disturbing - GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT

Benedict Cumberbatch is a highly regarded and well-respected leading man, appearing in a wide range of films from intense, personal biopics such as The Imitation Game to his many appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Strange. In 2021, Cumberbatch starred alongside real-life spouses Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst in The Power of the Dog, which is available to stream on Netflix now. The film serves as a highly cerebral western drama, winning dozens of accolades through its film festival circuit.

The Power of the Dog was written and directed by Academy Award-winning New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion. The film is based on a 1967 novel of the same name, written by American Western author Thomas Savage. Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst spent the shoot method acting by refusing to speak to one another, as well as learning to play the banjo and the piano, respectively, according to IMDb.

Benedict Cumberbatch was initially cast for the role of Phil Burbank when production first began in 2019. Elizabeth Moss and Paul Dano were originally slated to portray the other two leads, Rose Gordon and George Burbank. Paul Dano was forced to drop out of the project amid scheduling conflicts with Matt Reeves’ The Batman.

The Power of the Dog

After Elizabeth Moss dropped out of the film for unspecified reasons, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons were brought on to join Benedict Cumberbatch in The Power of the Dog. Plemons is best known for his work as Todd Alquist in the hit AMC series Breaking Bad, as well as his prominent placements in films such as Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, and Judas and the Black Messiah.

Kirsten Dunst, on the other hand, is best known for her work as Mary Jane Watson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, which spanned from 2002 until 2007, as well as a number of roles in projects such as Fargo, Hidden Figures, and On Becoming a God in Central Florida.

The Power of the Dog follows brothers Phil and George Burbank, portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch and Jesse Plemons, respectively. The brothers serve as a pair of wealthy ranch owners in early 20th-century Montana. When George meets a local widowed inn owner, Kirsten Dunst’s Rose Gordon, he becomes immediately smitten with her, much to the chagrin of his cold-hearted brother.

Benedict Cumberbatch remained fully in method while filming as Phil Burbank, who accuses Rose of staying with his brother just for their money.

Benedict Cumberbatch remained fully in method while filming as Phil Burbank, who accuses Rose of staying with his brother just for their money. Phil also torments Rose’s teenage son, deriding him as a weak and effeminate young man. This tension only grows after George and Rose get married, causing Rose and her son to move into the Burbank Ranch.

Over the course of a year, Benedict Cumberbatch bullies Rose into becoming an alcoholic, making her unable to perform as a pianist, a feat that once brought her great joy and prestige. When Rose’s son, Peter catches Phil in possession of a number of homoerotic magazines, it begins to become clear exactly why the rancher holds such a harsh and rough exterior towards outsiders. Having been caught and accepted by Peter, Phil begins to warm to the boy, even opting to teach him how to lasso cows and ride a horse.

The Power of the Dog

Before long, Phil and Peter have bonded, while Rose’s growing alcoholism gets worse and worse, turning her into a shell of her former self. Peter even reveals that his biological father had a horrific struggle with alcohol as well, prompting him to eventually hang himself. Benedict Cumberbatch brings a great deal of range and emotion to the previously abusive character, softening the plight of Rose’s child.

Unfortunately, tensions do not get repaired between Phil and Rose, resulting in a traumatic and emotional third act. The choice made by Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst to remain in character around each other on set paid off with the dynamic between their characters, which can be hard to watch at times.

Benedict Cumberbatch was praised by critics for his performance in The Power of the Dog.

The film was a massive critical success, garnering a 94 percent certified fresh rating on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes and taking home a host of awards from a number of festivals before premiering on Netflix in December of 2021. Jane Campion’s direction and Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance were specifically praised by critics. The Power of the Dog is available to stream on Netflix now.

[jeff-the-land-shark]

Wait so Black Widow (like the movie) literally negates Marvel’s one and only argument for why Natasha should have died instead of Clint, that argument being “Clint had a family”. It literally says in the movie that Alexi, Melina, and Yelena were Natasha’s family and that she has two families, them and the avengers. Therefore: I call bullshit and it should have been Clint (yes I am still mad about Endgame)

[wtfjd95]

Am I rewatching Avengers Endgame? Yes

Will I probably skip over Nat's sacrifice? More than likely

Will I cry anyways? Most definitely
