-Elisa-
To his credit, Eddie didn’t immediately freak out. His flurry of questions was held back in a much more clear minded move, but the longer he took to formulate a response, the more Elisa felt she was intruding on someone’s peace that she rightfully shouldn’t even know anymore.
“Nevermind, this was a bad idea.” Venom decided.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be here. I’ll leave.” Elisa began to turn around.
“No! I-” Eddie struggled. “I’m happy to see both of you.”
That made both her and Venom perk up. “I have a hard time believing that.”
“Come on in.” He invites her away from the window. “I suggest utilizing the door next time.”
“I don't have any other clothes.” She pointed out, and he just grabbed her a hoodie and pair of sweatpants for her.
“Something has to be wrong, he has no reason to think we’re not here to kill him.” Venom panicked, but Elisa was more motivated to distract herself from everything going on outside.
Once she was comfortably situated in his clothes, on his couch with a cold beer, offered out of the kindness of Eddie’s own heart, Elisa waited patiently as Eddie finished whatever he’d been doing before she showed up. He eventually sat down beside her, being remarkably less awkward than she anticipated.
“I feel like I have the right to know why you came here of all places.” Eddie prompted. “Not to sound like a dick, but aren’t you still dating that MJ girl?”
“No, she broke up with me sometime last spring. Apparently there's a limit to how many times your fiancée can stumble into your apartment needing extreme medical attention and begging not to go to a hospital.” Elisa said.
Eddie actually laughed. “I must have missed that class in school.”
“You missed every class but sex-ed.” Elisa pointed out.
“Not nearly as many titties as I was led to believe by a certain friend at the girls academy down the block.”
Elisa gasped in offense. “I must have just had a better education than you.”
“Yeah, I’ll say. Still, you don’t know how to answer a question.” He jabbed back at her. “Why come here of all places?”
“Why does he have the right? You didn’t have the right to your questions when he was being a prick-”
She forced herself to take a deep breath, which Venom clearly wasn’t on board with and it made her slightly nauseous. “I’m overwhelmed. I figured if I had nowhere to go, I might as well settle on the worst.”
“That bad, huh?”
“What?”
Eddie snickered. “It had to get that bad before you thought of coming to me? You’re many things, but you don’t run from your problems.”
Elisa slumped back into the corner of the couch. “Yeah, I’ve got a track record.”
“Why can’t you go home?” He asked. “You got another heart to break waiting for you there?”
“I really wish that wasn’t as accurate as it is, but I’m not dating him.” She let herself accept the defeat all while still defending herself from something that wasn’t even attacking. “His name is Miguel. He’s a Spider-Man from a different universe, and he’s here to catch something that landed here that shouldn’t be.”
He just nodded, knowing that weird stuff like this was pretty typical for her ever since she became Spider-Woman and even more so after she became Widow. “Just out of curiosity, is he hot?”
“I’m working with him, I’m not oggleing this poor man that probably doesn’t even want to be in this miserable universe.” She defended, but Eddie just stared at her as she was having trouble meeting his eye line. “... He’s not… unattractive.”
“Uh-huh.” He smirked to himself in his victory.
Elisa was exposed, but she didn’t mind. Eddie wasn’t the same as he was back in high school and neither was Elisa. But somewhere inside both of them lived two weird kids that were still friends after everything. And Eddie still bought the same trashy brand of beer that was the only brand at the mini-mart that wouldn’t ID them.
“I feel like I’ve earned at least one question.” She suggested, and Eddie made an accepting gesture. “Why’d you let me in?”
“You snuck in.”
“Prick.”
“You know what I mean.”
Eddie laughed, but relented. “I didn’t like how we left things.” He admitted. “I’ve seen the amount you swing to MJ’s apartment, so if you’re not dating her, then you’re at least still friends. I thought there was a chance we could be friends again.”
That made sense, some part of Elisa felt the same. Eddie had betrayed her, and he pretty much ruined her lives as both Elisa Hannen, and Spider-Woman, forcing her to become Widow. And yet, when she was overwhelmed, she needed to find comfort. Whether she liked it or not, Eddie was that comfort. “Were you going to reach out at all?”
“I’ve started to call you about five or six times, but I’ve chickened out every single time.” Eddie admitted.
“What’d you want to say?” She asked.
He choked on his own breath for a little before just retrying with an exasperated sigh. “I don’t know. I really just wanted to know if there was a chance you’d let me try again.”
Elisa felt her heart sink, and Venom did too.
“He could start with a damn apology for once.” Venom hissed into her head.
I want to hear him out.
“Why the fu-”
“Eddie, you used me as a popularity stunt.” Elisa challenged. “Not just my name as a researcher at Oscorp, but also my persona as Spider-Woman.”
“I know.” He accepts. “And it’s no thanks to me that you managed to get on your feet after I published the hit-piece. I did it wrong back then, so I wanna make it right now.”
“You can’t make it right.” Elisa scoffed. “It’s already been done, and it was wrong to do it.”
“I-I know. I-”
“I fixed it without you. There’s nothing left to make right.” She explained to him. “So maybe just do it right next time.”
Eddie perked up. “Next time?”
“Absolutely not!”
Elisa nodded. “It’ll take a little more to get Venom on your side, though.”
“A little? This man better start groveling, or whatever humans do when they don't want to be eaten!” It snapped, still refusing to come out and talk to Eddie, itself.
Eddie agreed without question. “I understand. And I get that it won’t be the same, but I’m willing to be a better friend this time.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it, Eddie.” She challenged, and he just kept smiling like an idiot. It was getting late, and Elisa couldn’t realistically stay the night at her ex-boyfriend’s house. “I should get going.”
Venom showed its eagerness to leave with how fast it materialized the suit over her skin and over her face. Elisa took the mask off her face and Venom soaked it back up while grumbling in annoyance in her mind.
“I’ll see you around.” Elisa took off his hoodie and sweatpants, giving him a friendly hug.
“Take it easy, Widow.” Eddie watched as she made her exit out the living room window.
“You made me hug him.”
“You’ll survive, Venom.”
“You going to face Miguel?”
Elisa knew she didn’t have another option, but she really had to know if they had been successful in tracking down Clara from 5302. She got back to her apartment and quickly got dressed, knowing Miguel was likely to show up now that her location was known.
She didn’t expect him to actually knock on the window when she sensed him land outside, but immediately, something was odd. The landing was far too quiet to be Miguel. Instead, Elisa cautiously approached her window to see who was there.
Olivia Weaver, Widow 5302, lifted a shy hand to wave at her. Despite how odd it was, Elisa opened her window and let her in. Olivia was about her height, but with a slimmer build. Her long, blonde hair was tied up on the crown of her head, being pulled through her mask to avoid a misshapen head under the mask. She took off her mask and her eyes were the same shimmering green that Elisa’s had been before Venom had bonded with her.
“Let me guess, Eddie?” She deduced. “He was a host of Venom in my universe too, and still your friend. Oddly enough, you still have Venom currently in my universe.” Olivia explained. “We knew it’d be wild when we found Elisa wearing the Widow mask.”
“You and the other twelve Widows?” Elisa asked.
“Yeah, all of us.” Olivia confirmed. “In every Widow universe, you were always just different. It’s why Venom always finds you. We were too busy wondering who would be hosting Venom if you were Spider-Woman that we never stopped to consider that maybe, Venom wouldn’t find another host.”
“Yeah well, I’ve got-”
“A track record.” Olivia interrupted, relishing in the awkward look on Elisa’s face after being easily predicted. “That’s the same line you said to me in my universe after I said Venom was only using you. Of course, not really you, but the look on your face suggests you want to throw a taxi at my face in this universe too, so maybe it’s a parallel trait.”
“Is being a know-it-all, priss a parallel trait for you?” Elisa snapped. “Miguel too shy to ask for my help, or are you here to tell me I’m not welcome in your Spider Society?”
Olivia threw something at her head at a surprising speed, but Venom moved her arm fast enough to catch it. It was a watch.
“Can you blame him? You’re intimidating.” Olivia joked.
“Wait, I thought none of them trusted Venom?” Elisa recalled quite easily, while Venom was just excited at the thought of going a second round with the Spider Society.
“Venom means a lot of things in the multiverse.” Olivia explained, “Meeting or bonding with Venom is a Canon Event. It’s just a Canon Event that is over for most of them. Peni lost her friend to the Ven#m mech. The Peter that noticed you really hurt his MJ while he was hosting Venom. Peter Porker faced a Symbiote in his universe called Pork Grind. Miguel nearly died fighting Venom in his universe. And don’t even get me started on the Venom Anomalies.”
That definitely sounded right for the reaction she got. “What about you and the other Widows? I even have the same face.”
Olivia took a deep breath. “Venom was originally drawn to my powers when it crashed. Venom and I ended up killing Oscar in my universe. That wasn’t the kind of hero I wanted to be. But it found Eddie, and he stayed hidden for a while, but when he published the Oscorp Expose, Venom took your side. And you were much more of a threat than Eddie was. You and Venom just have a different kind of bond than the other spiders do.”
“What does she mean ‘the Canon Event is over for the other spiders?’” Venom bristled.
That made her heart drop. “Olivia, is splitting from Venom a Canon Event?”
That was the question Olivia was avoiding.
It was obvious as soon as she asked it. Olivia took a moment to find the words. "It happens differently for everyone."
"Wait, we're gonna break up?" Venom panicked.
"We're not gonna break up, Venom." Elisa groaned, and focused again on Olivia. "Look, if everyone agrees that a Spider splitting from Venom is a Canon Event, then suddenly everyone I talk to is waiting for what would have to be the worst day of my life."
"Everyone's waiting for the next horrible thing to happen to you." Olivia pointed out, but when Elisa gave no sign of understanding her, she continued. "Is Oscar still alive in this universe?"
"He was locked up yesterday, I think." Elisa didn't understand what she was getting at.
"What about Dr. Claudia Connors?"
Elisa freezes. Claudia Connors worked alongside Nora Osborn in biochemistry, and her attempt at developing a method for regrowing limbs could have benefitted all amputees not unlike herself. Her serum went wrong and she became The Lizard. It was Claudia that introduced Elisa to Oscorp at all because she was the only scientist that truly enjoyed the publicity of it all. Claudia led the field trip her class had gone on.
Elisa made a cure for her, but while it worked on everyone she had turned, Claudia had been dosing herself too high, and the cure only sped up the rate it was killing her. Elisa didn't go to her Junior Prom, she attended Dr. Claudia Connor's memorial service.
"Yeah." Olivia knew the look on Elisa's face. "She's still alive in my universe. She went to your graduation party."
"Why would you tell me that?" Elisa asked.
"Because everyone just lives with it." She answered delicately. “If everyone is waiting for you and Venom to split, then they’re also waiting for me to lose Dr. Connors. For some others, we’re waiting for the Police Captain, Nora Osborn, Flint Marco. Everyone’s on a different timeline, Elisa. And after the worst of it is done, we have a support system made up of the only people in the multiverse that’ll understand.”
Elisa took a long look at the watch. “What about everyone that was ready to attack me? I doubt they’re welcoming me back with open arms.”
“They’re free to avoid you if they want, but if you guys want to sing kumbaya, then that’s up to you.” Olivia shrugged and opened the portal back to the headquarters. “But I know at least one guy that wants to try again.”
“That sounds promising.” Venom teased.
Shut up. Elisa stepped into the portal.
On the other side of the void, several spiders just stared. Some ignored her and continued on their way, and to her surprise, some even gave a polite wave. It was dark outside now, and the lights in the building were kind to her senses.
Olivia brought her back to Miguel’s platform where it had been lowered. His back faced Elisa where she noticed something interesting.
Miguel doesn’t have heightened awareness.
Venom recoiled. “Then how the hell did he pull one over on us?”
“Miguel!” Olivia called out so she wouldn’t startle him.
When he turned around, he seemed surprised to see Elisa. “You actually came back.” He noted.
“I told you.” Olivia reminded him. “Elisa was always an odd-girl-out.”
As much as Elisa wanted to pretend like Olivia didn’t know her at all, there was an obvious sense of familiarity that they had. Elisa remembered that she was in the hospital for 300 rads of acute radiation poisoning for a brief time after she was bitten by the spider. The science class that went on the trip had all made her cards, and Olivia hanged back while some more familiar faces visited her in the hospital with the class. MJ, Eddie and Holly all came to visit, but Olivia was kind enough to visit her personally, give her all the assignments she had missed, and went over her notes when Elisa didn’t understand. Elisa could only hope that her alternate self was kind enough to do the same for Olivia.
“I’m glad you came back.” Miguel said to her.
Elisa hopped up onto the platform with him. “I’m not gonna start running from my problems now.” She said, “What’s your status on the tracking device?”
Miguel’s expression didn’t give her much hope. "We may have underestimated her advancement."
“Uh-oh.”
"No chance that means we can track her tech?" Elisa hoped.
Miguel confirmed the difficult reality. “We realized she wants 4167 Carnage to find Clara.”
“Yeah, I talked to Clara Kassidy down at the station. She didn’t know who reported it, but she was able to figure out it wasn’t me. At least the two of them haven’t met yet.” Elisa supplied.
“Do my ears deceive me, or is she back?”
Olivia lit up like she was expecting this. “How nice of you to join, Peter.”
Peter swung up to meet them and glared at Elisa. “So what is she doing back, and with a watch, no less?”
“Not this wash-up again.” Venom groaned to her.
“Peter, we don’t have time for this.” Miguel argued.
“Miguel, she’s an OUCH waiting to happen!” Peter didn’t let up.
“Mind telling me what the hell an “ouch” is?” Elisa asked.
Olivia was kind enough to explain while Miguel pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering in Spanish under his breath, letting her explain. “An OUCH is an acronym for an Out of Universe Canon Hazard. It’s when either an Environmental Trigger travels across a universe and sets off a Canon Event for a spider that isn’t in their own universe in Type 1, or a spider in another universe stumbles across the right Environmental Triggers outside of their own universe in Type 2.”
Venom took offense, yet again. “Everyone is so certain we’re gonna break up.”
Elisa was just about done with this argument. “Peter, I turned you and all your spider friends into a joke because of Venom. Right now you vs. Venom is tallied up at zero to one. I’d say we’re doing fine.”
“And I’ll get your ass again!” Venom cheered to itself.
“We all loved the power the black suit gave us, but we know the cost of it is too much to justify wearing it.” Peter reminded everyone else. “The Canon says that the Spider and Venom will split. And I might not even be worried about any other Event, but if it’s triggered here or anywhere other than your universe, then we have a rogue symbiote on the loose, outside its universe.”
“It’s not his business!”
“Then we burn that bridge when we get to it!” Elisa hissed, only to be held back by Miguel.
“Elisa, stand down.” He said. “Peter, whether we like it or not, she’s bonded with Venom. Many spiders had to reach a truce with Venom to beat Carnage anyway. This might be the only way she survives this.”
Peter wasn’t happy, but at the very least, he understood Miguel’s point. He gave a warning pointer finger in return. “I’m keeping an eye on her.”
“Try it.”
“Miguel couldn’t keep a tail on me for longer than a minute, but whatever helps you sleep at night, Cryptkeeper.” Elisa jabbed, and Olivia nudged her like that was something she shouldn’t have said to their principal, but it made both of them laugh.
“Híjole chicas, we need to figure out our next move, not pick little cat fights with each other.” Miguel chastised. “Now, we can’t find her, we can’t track her, and we’re fresh out of ideas.”
“Well, I don’t usually have tracking technology in my universe, so I say we do this the old fashioned way.” Elisa suggested and Olivia let out a long sigh, likely just tired that this couldn’t be solved by the magical mechanisms from Miguel’s universe.
“Oh, but two Widows investigating a parallel identity in each other’s universes, that’s not an OUCH waiting to happen either?” Peter just gave up on trying to argue this.
“I’ll keep an eye on them.” Miguel assured him, but Peter didn’t look very impressed as Elisa opened the portal to Earth-5302.
The portal came out on a roof near the Oscorp building. “Umm, fair warning Elisa, you might want to keep your mask on for this.” Olivia warned as she brought them to one of the many balconies of the building. Elisa was worried since she recognized this as the balcony to Nora’s Office, but as soon as they entered the building, she realized exactly what Olivia meant.
“Dr. Connors? We need your help on something.” Olivia greeted with joy like this was common.
Claudia smiled, welcoming Widow warmly. Her coat was neatly safety pinned up by her bicep to keep the residual limb safe while she worked in the laboratory. Elisa was left amazed at her face. 5302 Claudia was forty-seven. Her age was showing in a way that only reminded Elisa that she had failed eight years ago. “Who’s this with you?”
“Clara Kassidy found a way to travel across universes. This is the Widow from the universe that Clara invaded, and this is the Spider-Man that knows how to make sense of that tech.” Olivia explained. “We know she was working on her research here, and Oscorp still has copies of those records. We need to see what Clara was working on before she was arrested.”
Claudia took a long look at Elisa, and even Venom could feel her anxiety rising. When she finally took her eyes off her, Elisa was relieved that she’d moved on to observing Miguel. Claudia just nodded. “Alright, I can take you to her lab and unlock it for you, but that’s as far as I go.” She warned.
“That’s all we need.” Olivia thanked her and walked beside her as they led the way to the laboratory.
Miguel stayed back with Elisa, and he was as observant as ever. “Are you alright?” He asked.
“I’ll survive.” She dismissed. Claudia looked back at them for a brief moment, and Elisa tensed and averted her eyes.
“Maybe Peter was right.” Miguel wondered.
“Shut the hell up.” Elisa warned.
Most of the laboratories were sealed off in their own rooms to avoid contamination, and it was easy to plan a route that wouldn’t leave them exposed to any of the ones that had any glass on the walls. It allowed them to just duck under the view of any of the labs that had windows to the hall.
“This is it.” Claudia announced, opening the door with her own key. She stayed by the door as all three of them passed. The police were done here and now the records were organized in the office for anyone that needed to reference her work, with Nora and Claudia’s supervision. Elisa stayed in the back as she began looking around the laboratory. It had been mostly picked clean by the authorities, but the equipment was definitely more advanced than Miguel expected just based on the expression his mask held. Elisa found Kassidy’s desk to figure out if there was anything that suggested a plan, while Olivia and Miguel were assessing the equipment and theorizing ways to locate Clara or perhaps find other evidence of her escape.
There wasn’t much left on the desk, but there was a photo of Clara Kassidy several years ago, celebrating with Nora Osborn and Claudia in front of a chalkboard covered in mathematical work. “That was the day she mathematically proved AdS/CFT correspondence.” Claudia supplied. “Everyone was quite excited, understandably.”
Elisa put down the frame and continued searching without saying a word. She opened a few drawers and pulled out some manilla folders and opened them to see plenty of research papers on a device she called The Seeker. This looked somewhat important, and Venom was also lost on how to scan something and archive it for later use. Elisa poked at her watch for a moment and found a Call Lyla button, and she reluctantly pushed it.
Her tiny, hologram form appeared in front of the watch. “What’s up?”
“Hi, Lyla. Is there a way I can scan this for archiving?” Elisa asked, and Lyla was happy to show her how to use the scanner on her own.
Claudia watched in amazement, but kept giving useful context to Elisa. “That was a paper she wrote on quantum gaps forming between multiversal planes.”
Elisa knew just enough about Oscorp’s quantum physics experiments to understand what Claudia was saying, and what it meant. There were gaps between multiversal planes, and Clara had developed a machine that could seek them out, allowing her to travel through the gaps that already existed.
“It’s interesting to see her theory proven correct right in front of me.” Claudia mused. “I’m glad there’s a universe out there that has Elisa Hannen protecting it.” Elisa flinched and turned to Claudia. “That finally got you to look at me.”
Elisa didn’t know what to say, so she just gave up, signaling Venom to drop the mask. “How did you know?”
“I know the voice of my lab assistant that I see every day.” Claudia laughed, but it was bittersweet. “Something tells me that your universe wasn’t very kind to your version of me.” She said, noting the scar on Elisa’s cheek that she had no way of knowing came from a parallel version of Claudia herself.
“You died eight years ago.” Elisa confessed. “It was an accident that I couldn’t save you from.”
Claudia smiled sadly and Elisa struggled to stop herself from becoming a scared high schooler that never got to say goodbye to her mentor. “My version of you is still my lab assistant in this universe. She’s good friends with Holly Osborn, and she’s a talented chemist.”
“Nora kept me in that position when she hired Oscar. I was still in high school at the time, so I couldn’t take your spot.” Elisa explained. “I was seventeen when you died. And only a year later, Oscar was exposed.”
“Then it seems like your universe hasn’t been kind to you either.” Claudia figured. Olivia said that the Physk hit-piece had happened in this universe, which meant that 5302 Elisa had her trusted mentor to fall back on in this universe.
“You’re so much like my Claudia.” Elisa noted, really attempting to convince herself that this didn’t mean she was talking to a ghost of her friend.
“Elisa, I know I’m not her.” She offered. “But I also know that you aren’t my Elisa. So, just let me as I am, speak to you as you are.”
Elisa let Claudia take her hands in her one left hand. “If your universe has treated you anything like I think, then I hope you know that you’re doing good. The fact that you’re here means you’ve kept going after everything, and if you’re anything like my Elisa, then I know you’re the right person for the job.”
She couldn’t hold back anymore, she just hugged Claudia like she would have if she could have said goodbye. “If you’re anything like my Claudia, then I want you to know that, even after everything, you never stopped being my hero.”
Claudia hugged back just like how Elisa remembered. “Then keep being a hero over there for both of us.”
When they finally let go, Claudia just smiled, letting her get back to scanning documents.
“Just out of curiosity-”
“No, Claudia.” Elisa warned, knowing she was just wondering what had actually managed to take her out in a parallel universe. She was always quite the eccentric personality.
“Alright, fair enough.” She accepted.
“Do you know who your Widow is?” Elisa asked.
“Ms. Weaver told me her identity months ago when she was originally investigating Dr- Ms. Kassidy.” Claudia said. “But I can’t figure out who the triangle man is. I know that’s not Eddie.” She suggested, nudging Elisa’s shoulder with her stump in an old joke. She definitely noticed something suggestive between the two of them.
“N-No, he's Spider-Man from a universe that’s ninety-seven years ahead of us with a wildly different history.” Elisa explained. “He brought together hundreds of spider people to investigate and apprehend malicious universe travelers.”
“Hmm…” Claudia mused. “Then you probably know more than me how troublesome that could be.”
That caught Elisa off guard. “Troublesome?”
Claudia was surprised she had to explain, but it seemed that she was somewhat aware of the theory of Clara’s work. “All of these spider people would be parallel identities in some aspects. I just hope you know that affecting other realities, especially your own parallel identities, might be dangerous for the integrity of that reality’s durability.” Claudia warned, and Elisa was somewhat worried now, thinking of Miguel.
She really did like Miguel, but Claudia was right. Interfering with Miguel’s reality or getting too attached to him and neglecting events that are supposed to happen in hers could be detrimental to the Canon. After all, Canon Events included events like meeting partners like Eddie and MJ, or making friends like Holly or Claudia. If Elisa got too caught up with Miguel, then her own reality could suffer for it. She didn’t need Miguel or Peter to tell her that the Canon was the very fabric of reality that they all existed on. Ignoring or trying to change it could have disastrous effects.
“I’m not dumb enough to start letting romance get in my way.” Elisa assured her.
“Well, you’ve got a track record.” Claudia laughed, and Elisa was once again surprised that she was actually happy to hear those words come from Claudia at least one more time.
Miguel and Olivia came back, happy with their own scans. “We got what we needed, we think we might know where to find her equipment.” Miguel said as Elisa’s mask crept back up her face.
“Good. I got all her research data for reference later.” Elisa offered.
“Alright, we have a trail!” Olivia clapped in excitement. “Thank you, Dr. Connors.”
“My pleasure.” She said, guiding them to the nearest balcony. “And good luck to all of you. We’re lucky to have people like you to keep us safe.”
They bid her goodbye and continued on to find where Clara had set up her equipment after breaking out of prison. Miguel kept pace with Elisa once again. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah.” Elisa answered. “I just needed to talk to her.”
Miguel didn’t press, likely understanding exactly what just happened. Elisa would just have to move on with the fact that she would never live in a reality where she could truly tell Claudia Connors just how important she was to her. But getting to hear her mentor tell her that she was the right person to protect her own reality was healing. And Elisa got to make sure that in this universe, Claudia Connors would die knowing that she was never seen as a villain to people that loved her.
“That’s good, then.” Miguel said.
The group came to a subway station, and found their way to a maintenance tunnel. The fence in front of them had a locked gate and Elisa grabbed the lock, allowing Venom to poke and prod within it to get it open without much effort.
“Gracias, Venom.” Miguel acknowledged.
Venom bubbled in excitement in Elisa. “I like him too.”
She just laughed and continued down the tunnel with the two of them. Olivia led the way, looking closely at the ground and walls to make sure she wasn’t missing anything. She likely realized at the same time Elisa and Venom did that this tunnel was essentially a choke point.
You know anything about Carnage as a member of your species?
“Carnage is a red rank member of my species.” Venom explained. “Black rank symbiotes, like me, are sent as scouts to worlds that are meant for hunting grounds, as you know. If we do not contact the base, then the planet is not viable for hunting. Red rank symbiotes are physiologically different from my rank. They have the ability to cannibalize equal and lower ranked symbiotes.”
So, did you contact the base when you arrived on my planet?
“I never got the chance to. But I don’t think 5302 Venom did either if it found you.”
“This looks like it.” Olivia announced, finding a lightswitch that did not light up the whole underground lab, but was sufficient enough to find what Clara was doing.
Only one wall was lit up by the lamp beside it. The brick was patterned with all kinds of calculations for the tech she had used to travel. There were tables that were filled with gadgets and papers, only vaguely lit up by a couple of lamps in the cylindrical, brick dome.
Elisa found a reason to be next to Miguel again. “Venom says Carnage’s rank of symbiote is known for cannibalizing equal and lower rank symbiotes. Is it possible 5302 Clara and Carnage want to destroy my Carnage?”
“It’s not impossible, but if they’re trying to kill Canon, then they’re much more dangerous than we anticipated.” Miguel noted.
“Hey, guys?” Olivia called out. They both looked across the circle to see what she was worried about. It was a very interesting contraption, being a collapsible cylinder with a lens that someone could see through. The cylinder itself was bulky, nearly the size of Miguel’s arm, and it looked at least nearly complete.
Miguel’s watch gave him a silent, buzzing alarm that he looked down at, and Elisa froze where she was.
“Something’s wrong.” Venom cautioned.
Elisa kept watching Miguel, and he dropped his wrist and put himself between Olivia and Elisa. He looked back at Elisa, but she couldn’t tell what his mask’s expression meant. His gaze turned back to Olivia, and he began to back up with Elisa, toward the exit.
“We have to get out of here.” Venom warned again.
Elisa’s own senses sent a chill down her spine and she could only do as Miguel said.
We aren’t alone in here.
Olivia had also just felt the presence that could have only been lurking above them the whole time, obscured by the shadow that lay out of reach of the weak lights.
A towering woman dropped from the ceiling, facing Olivia. Her skin was stretched with the red muscle that Carnage enhanced, and Clara wasn’t holding it back at all. It was a full symbiote takeover, and Olivia was right in front of the most dangerous enemy any Widow would ever face.
Elisa began to charge in, but Miguel stopped her. “Stand down, it’s a Canon Event now.” He grabbed her, opening a portal to leave, and leaving a drone to allow them to observe and help when the Event was done.
She followed Miguel through the portal, and they immediately opened the footage the drone was gathering.
Olivia barely dodged Carnage’s claws, but Elisa knew Olivia was smart. If any of her old classmates were clever enough to outsmart Carnage, it was Olivia.
Widow launched herself up to the ceiling, and in a moment, she proved Elisa’s assessment of her right. Olivia used herself as bait, correctly realizing that the ceiling of the brick cylinder likely came out above ground. When Carnage lunged at her, Olivia webbed the ceiling and dropped, using Carnage’s force, and her strength to kick Carnage through the brick ceiling, getting them out of the tunnel.
That was a good move, Olivia can catch it off guard out there.
“There’s no way.”
Shut up, she’ll do it.
Several more spider people ran into Miguel’s observatory to see what was happening. But when Elisa looked back to them, she realized that every Widow had heard that this Canon Event was happening for another Widow, and they all came to just hope that Olivia would be the one to tell them how to survive it.
Olivia kept running from Carnage, but it was easy to notice that she wasn’t trying to escape. She could have easily lost a tail, even if it were Carnage and Clara, but Widow’s were never known for being cowards. All of them have been knocked down no less than any other spider, but no spider, especially not Widows that had all found solidarity in their shared place in the multiverse. No, Olivia was leading Carnage somewhere.
Oh shit, I know this street.
“She’s calling on Venom for backup.” A Widow noticed. Elisa recognized her as Beatrice Jacobs.
The other Widows chattered anxiously amongst themselves, all while Elisa’s heart was beating a mile a minute, and she couldn’t tear her eyes off the screen.
She thinks I have a better chance of beating Carnage. Elisa didn’t want to think that. Olivia was one of the best. Elisa felt utterly hopeless. If Olivia thought Elisa was stronger or smarter than her, then they were all damned.
Olivia waited by a window and dodged just as Carnage’s claws grabbed at her, sending her hand plunging through the glass, and catching the attention of whoever was in the apartment. Carnage realized what had happened, and it grinned with a mouth full of sharp teeth.
The oily, black muscle completely overtook 5302 Elisa’s form. And her friend, Venom, was enraged. Surprisingly, both Venom and Olivia were able to catch Carnage off guard for a moment, and sent it flying into the ground.
Venom wasted no time going after it to kick it while it was down. Unfortunately, Carnage did not stay down for very long. It caught Venom’s neck in its claws and squeezed. Venom screamed out and Elisa had to look away, unaware that her own Venom had put her hand over her neck in an absent-minded move of protection.
Her eyes remained at the floor until the screaming stopped. Olivia had webbed Carnage’s mouth shut, and kicked it in the throat, successfully forcing it to release Venom. However Elisa knew that if Carnage was cannibalistic, even one injury from it would completely wipe out Venom and Elisa for days. Olivia kept moving fast, using her flexibility to weave the webs in a way that restrained Carnage while remaining unpredictable.
Olivia’s odds were getting better, until it all dropped at once along with the hearts of every Widow watching.
Carnage broke through the webbing. When the drone finally caught a glimpse of the outcome, every Widow braced for the worst. Olivia had been caught, and she wasn’t moving. When Carnage released it’s claws from around her neck, she just dropped. The Widows all froze in complete terror.
Clara Kassidy and Carnage had claimed the life of another Widow.
Elisa’s breathing was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and Venom was in complete disarray. It was like they were new to bonding all over again, both of them losing control of the symbiosis they balanced every day. The room began to spin and Elisa lost balance.
She could tell someone was trying to get her attention, but she brushed off their hands and just started walking away. She had to get her and Venom back together, but her heartbeat and lungs were overwhelmed without her permission, and all of her nerves went cold, even as her exhausted muscles continued pushing her forward as she sprinted, and she didn’t know where she would end up, but if it was away from her own skin, it would be far enough.
Whoever had been trying to get her attention followed her, and when they made another attempt to stop her and calm her down, Elisa jumped back away from who she eventually processed as Miguel, and they had managed to walk right out the front door, and were now in the courtyard in front of the building, beneath the city lights of Nueva York.
“Relàjate. Yo tambien estoy asustado, Elisa.” His voice was soft, not annoyed or tired, just delicate with her and desperate for her to listen like he had no idea how to speak to her. This time, when he told her, she did as he said, calming down as Miguel set her steady by holding her shoulders. Her breathing was still erratic, but it was manageable now, and her heart still rushed, but it wasn’t painful anymore.
“Miguel…” Elisa’s voice shook. “I don’t know if I can do this.”
“Elisa, please just-” He was losing her, and her heart rate began to pick up again as Venom was unsettled again.
“She was smart and strong, and if she’s gone, then I’m next, and I can’t-” Miguel just cut her off by pulling her close and falling to the ground with her. She was finally pulled from her panic as she realized Miguel was shaking too.
"Relàjate. Yo tambien estoy asustado, Elisa." He told her again, but Elisa finally realized what he was saying to her.
"Relax. I'm scared too, Elisa."
Elisa just let herself cry out there with him. Both she and Venom hated crying in front of another person, but it was far beyond either of their control by now. Not only was she terrified for her own survival, but Olivia was someone she had only just begun to know, and her life was now just gone.
"Taken from her." Venom spat from within.
They stayed like that for a moment. It was quieter than she expected. The sounds of a busy city were far off in the distance and low beneath the ground. Elisa and Venom slowly became in tune again, able to use Miguel's comfort as an anchor to reality.
Miguel eventually, reluctantly, opened his arms as Elisa released him.
"We should go check on the Widows." Elisa suggested. Miguel silently nodded and let her help him up and lead him back to the observatory.
The Widows hadn't dispersed. They all stood in a circle surrounding one Widow. Elisa had read that the first Widow to be found by the Spider Society had been Maxine Catch, but she had died in the first Carnage attack. Kat Marco was the second, and it seems to have been her duty to activate the portal to retrieve Olivia's watch so it didn't go unaccounted for. They all turned to Elisa, maskless, holding varying expressions of concern, sadness, or terror.
An overwhelming reality was coming over the room as everyone knew what this meant.
"We're next."

15 Question Tag Game | OC Edition
Cheers for tagging me @queer-cosette - I don't have many OC's tbh (Shea is the only one I can think of that's named, and he's a Sidhe so some of these qestions wouldn't apply), so you'll have to do with one from my oft-mentioned but never shared NaNoWriMo from last year.
Said OC is named Simon Trevethick, a "Weaver" who has had a rather unfortunate past (which both is and isn't his fault - at the same time, for the same reason) and he is the deuteragonist of the story and the mentor of the protagonist.
Rules: answer the questions below as yourself and/or your OC. (I'd also add that you make your own post).
Are they named after anyone? Not really. The surname is mutated a bit from someone I knew at school, but is otherwise just plucked from the ether.
When was the last time they cried? That depends on whether you're asking him or not. According to him, it would be the day that he and his husband separated, about seven years prior to the start of the story; in actuality, it was much more recent, only a couple of days before he's introduced.
Do they have kids? Simon and his partner had adopted two kids, a girl and a boy named Olivia and Jack. It's a fairly major plot point as to why he no longer has them, and should I ever be able to pluck up enough courage to edit it and post it I don't want to spoil it by explaining why now; suffice to say I fridged them as part of a time paradox.
Do they use sarcasm? Sparingly, but he's rather biting with it when he does use it. He's a rather depressed man, for reasons, and tends to shun most social interactions anyway.
What’s the first thing they notice about people It's really how curious people are. In his line of work, you wouldn't even get to meet him unless you had the setting's gift, and he's a researcher of sorts into it. He likes to see if people take notice about the weirdness around them, and what exactly they focus on.
What’s their eye colour? Very dark brown. Simon's eyes are rather thin and hooded as well, so the pupil and iris take up a lot of the space that you can see, and makes the eyes look almost black.
Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. The poor boy suffers enough with his day job and a rather sad past to want to watch horror.
Any special talents? Simon is a Weaver, which is essentially a magic user in modern times - technically he's manipulating the fundamentals of reality, but we'll go with magic. He's also a nifty sword fighter (again, "job" related).
Where were they born? Like me, he was born in Portsmouth and so has a special connection to the place. He's a bit older than I am though, having been born in 1976.
What are their hobbies? Simon lives an almost monastic life (by choice), and doesn't really do anything outside of his day job to be honest. The only hobby he really has other than that is rock shaping, but that's mainly to keep him in practice for his research. He does do recreational maths, but even he knows that's rather geeky and keeps that to himself.
Do they have any pets? He and his husband had a dog (a Springer Spaniel named Irene) when they were married, but Simon made sure his partner took it when they separated; unfortunately Irene had passed away before the story started.
What sports do they play/have they played? Simon used to play Rugby at school, and also fenced/sword-fought with his co-workers regularly until he retreated into his work.
How tall are they? 5'7" - He's a short king
Favourite subject in school? Maths. He's always liked now neat and predictable maths is, and the man finds solace in numbers where he can't in people as an adult.
Dream job? He has his dream job now, being a Weaver, but if he wasn't one he'd most likely want to be some kind of accountant or computer programmer.
Tagging @imstressedx, @areseebee, @derrygirlstrash @notactuallyerinquinnfromderry and anyone else who would like to talk about their OC

TEA Stumping time . . . . .
It’s TEA Time and while I’m not that confident that I have anything that will WIN in this race (competition looks VERY tight this year!), I’d still like to put up my nominations for your consideration.  I will be doing individual posts for each, so if you’re not interested in that, please block the tag #2019 teas or #tea awards because I will use those tags when posting everything that has to do with the TEA  Awards.  
Here are my works that are nominated, for your consideration (under the cut for length):
 Doppelgänger:  Set in Hyperion Heights: A patient comes into Hyperion Heights County Hospital, where Dr. Belle Weaver works as an attending physician in the emergency room. The man is badly beaten and unconscious – and he looks exactly like her husband, Detective Finlay Weaver – who has been dead for eight years.
Nominated for SPECIAL CATEGORIES: Best Woven Beauty and CHARACTER AWARDS: Best Detective Weaver
Star-Crossed:  This story takes place in the “Catch a Falling Star” verse. Nick and Belle Gold are nearing their 13th anniversary. Their idyllic, blissfully happy life is about to take a sharp turn into difficult times, between dealing with a pre-teen daughter’s sudden shift in attitude, a film role that brings out Nick’s insecurities, the fallout from the strained marriage of Bae and Emma, and a dangerous threat in the form of one of Nick’s new students that neither of them sees coming.
Nominated for CHARACTER AWARDS: Best OC Rumbelle Child – Olivia Rose Gold
Five Days In Hell:  Divorced (but still very much in love) couple Drummond and Belle Gold each return on what they think will be a private week at their former honeymoon cabin.
Nominated for FLUFF: Reunion
Fever:  This is a canon-divergent AU wherein Rumple is scratched by “bear” Merida in TBatB and develops a staph infection as a result …
Nominated for ANGST: Hurts So Good
Yes, Your Honor:  A beautiful young girl approaches attorney Douglas Gold on a train, and he rebuffs her, not wanting to make conversation. When he arrives in court, he is stunned to see the same girl sitting in the Judge’s chair. She asks him to meet her in her chambers. Smut ensues.
Nominated for SMUT: PWP
Warmth and Desire:  Rumpelstiltskin meets with Dumbledore to make a deal, and Belle listens in on their conversation. Both Belle and Rumple are surprised at what they find. Set in the Dark Castle.
Nominated for GENERAL AWARDS: Best Crossover 
A Life Unexpected:  In order to avoid her annoying ex-boyfriend, Belle French tells him she is dating someone. When she enters Mr. Gold’s shop, an unexpected deal occurs.
Nominated for ROMANCE: Best First Meeting
S.O.S.:  Mr. Gold and his assistant, Belle French, are traveling via Mr. Gold’s private boat to a meeting when a wind storm hits. Belle has been secretly in love with her employer for some time. What will transpire between them as they wait to be rescued?
Nominated for GENERAL AWARDS: Best One Shot
25 Fucking Stupid Writing Choices OUAT Made
Nominated for SPECIAL CATEGORIES: Best Meta.  It’s not all Rumbelle but there is a lot of Rumbelle in there. 
Rumbelle Sims
Nominated for ART: Best Fluff Art
So those are my nominations for you to consider! But please . . . . take a look at ALL of the nominees here:
Official 2019 TEA Nominations
And if you need links, you can go to this site and sort by category – if it has a “Qualified” by it, it’s nominated:
https://rumbelleteas.com/
Voting begins January 25, and ends on February 3 at 11:59 CST.  And UNLIKE the nominations, you can only vote ONCE.  So please prepare your ballot carefully and don’t submit it until it’s completely filled out.  
This is the official ballot for you to copy and paste (you do not have to vote in every category, but only one vote PER category): 
https://teaespensonawards.tumblr.com/votingballot
You can submit your ballot here:
https://teaespensonawards.tumblr.com/submit
Have fun reading, and looking at art, and voting! Congrats to all nominees, thank you to anyone who considers and/or votes for any of my offerings, and good luck everyone!

The Crown of Shadows Results are in!
“And as the evening comes to a close, it’s time to announce the auction results. Once again, I am Carlton Cartwright and, judging from your bids, I think you all were just as impressed as I was with these impressive contestants and their wonderful dates. But, before we announce the winners and who will be taking home the Crown of Shadows, I want to remind ya’ll of where all of these proceeds are going to. The proceeds of this event are to help the Muttropawlitan keep strays off the streets and to instating a go green initiative around town. From cleaning up Wonderland Park to helping buildings such as All Saint’s Hospital be powered solely by Solar Energy panels, your donations will be a crucial to fixing up the town and, coming in at a whopping $17,205, will be able to not only clean up Wonderland Park and help out the Muttropawlitan, but build a dog park in town, install solar energy panels throughout All Saint’s Hospital, and go towards the funds to build a public pool. Thank you so much for your wonderful contributions and you’ll be sure to see your marvelous contributions come into effect soon. But, now for what you’re all been waiting for-”
Now that you’ve won your charity dates, feel free to play them out on the dash! Please feel free to reach out to your character’s date, plot OOC, and create threads surrounding it.

In Crown of Shadows Tradition, we will be awarding crowns to the top two highest bidders as a thank you for their generous donations.

The Date Breakdown/Recap once more:
Contestant #1 is... Amanda Weaver. She is:
Goofy, Energetic, and Adventurous.
She hates asparagus. Vehemently.
She doesn’t want to entirely spoil the surprise, but it will involve shopping and it will involve dinner. In that order.
The winner of this date is... Abby Barnes.
Contestant #2 is... Eliza Holmes. She is:
Kind, Protective, Creative.
She can dance really well, but she only does so in the safety and privacy of their home.
The date would consist of a picnic packed and made by the contestant, near the water, under that old willow tree everyone loves. Then she would enjoy taking you up to the lookout pointe, overlooking the town and the water close by, to enjoy some wine. And perhaps some good conversation under the stars.
The winner of this date is... Sophie Vidales.
Contestant #3 is... Tae Cho. He is:
Outgoing. Lovable. Spicy.

Contestant #5 is... Noah Armstrong. He is:
Down to Earth, Fun-Loving, Goofy.
‘I can fit my whole fist in my mouth, wanna see?’
This date is a scavenger hunt comprised of recreating popular romcom moments together on a budget.

After finally cutting themselves down, your date will take you into the backyard where a projector will be playing “10 Things I Hate About You” onto a sheet that has been tapped to the side of the building to look like a screen. This contestant, also, would like you to know, that during the movie, popcorn, ring pops, and chocolate covered strawberries will be provided.
The winner of this date is... Mackenzie Foster.
Contestant #6 is... Caitlin Dunmore . She is:
Caring, Dedicated, Passionate.

Contestant #7 is... Natalia Hamilton. She is:
Charismatic, Adventurous, & Dominate.
Can sing rather well & can make up little cheers due to their time as a cheerleader!

Contestant #8 is... Kelsie Woods. She is:
Cute, Quiet, & Loving.

Funny, Charismatic, Charming.
In our high schools production of Grease, I played Danny Zuko.

Adorable, Funny, and Resourceful.
Scared to death of porcelain dolls.
The date will involve a trip to the arcade, where you can play games, battle it out in laser tag, take a spin around the roller skating rink, or get behind the wheel to race in go-karts. There, you will also enjoy a private, candle lit dinner for two over pizza, nachos, and your choice of soda. Unlimited tokens will be provided, along with a guaranteed prize of your choosing.
The winner of this date is... Nina Skala.
Contestant #13 is... Serena North. She is:
Fun-loving, Adventurous, Independent
They’ve lived in more than 4 different countries.
While most of us have lived in this town forever most of us have taken for granted some of the the treasures that are hidden in this town. The day would be full of exploring them. Starting off with breakfast at The Pie Hole, then move on to the Boathouse where most of the day would be spent out on the water. When the fun in the sun was done the party could move to Level Up! for a quick round of air hockey and dinner. After the sun goes down the excitement begins with Moonlight Zip lining that ends at the Observatory where desert will be waiting.
The winner of this date is... Silas Bahar.
Contestant #14 is... Lia Diaz. She is:
Sweet, Ambitious & Cheerful.
They are ambidextrous.
This date will be a carefree night in. Start out by having fun splatter painting your date’s living room and each other with paint filled balloons. Then, just as the sun is about to set, watch the light stream in through the windows and illuminate your splatter painted work as you enjoy a home cooked meal and a bottle of wine of your choice on a picnic blanket spread out across the floor. Then your date will lead you into the backyard where twinkly lights are set up for a free salsa lesson and a chance to watch the stars.
The winner of this date is... Jasmine Morris.

Rise of the Believers Weekly Newsletter #4
Tumblr media
Hooray Hoorah, It’s that time of the week once more, the weekly newsletter for RotB~! So what be goin on at Rise of the Believers RP??
Tumblr media
A couple Masqueraders have taken off their masks as the seemingly positive magic of the evening has been shattered. Some bicker amongst themselves, others like our dear Guardian of Hope just try to calm their nerves and assuage their feelings of guilt.  Others seem to remain hopeful for the cause that they fight for. But it seems like they are not alone, some Anti-Guardians still lurk amongst the shadows, listening to the dissent and disagreements and gleaning as many secrets they can. 
What will be said? And how will this affect the war that still rages on?
Tumblr media
AC Starts From Today
The Activity Check is back! Save your peeps by posting in the AC thread before it is gone. For non-ROTG/GOC characters all you need is 1 post from the previous month (August) but for ROTG/GOC Characters you will need two! Just post the proof or a proof of absence and all will be well <3 Activity Check will run from: 09/09/17 - 09/16/17.
ICC Location Suggestion Thread Coming Soon
You heard it right folks, the In-Character Chatboxes will be returning sometime in the future (when- well who knows?) But that means that first, we must determine where they take place. This week the staff will post the ICC Location Suggestion Thread. So if you have any ideas on where a Fall Chatbox will take place? Let us know in that thread and your suggestion will be added to the voting thread that will come afterwards!
Tumblr media
Yes that’s right we have some requests for some characters! Do you see someone you could pick up?
Rise of the Guardians/Guardians of Childhood Canon Characters*
North (Nicholas St. North): The Guardian of Wonder himself! North as we know is often busy up in the pole prepping for Christmas and making fantastic toys! With all these new Guardians joining the ranks we are sure that is also keeping him rather busy! We miss this jolly guy and there are tons of plots waiting to be had with Nicholas St. North!
Sandy (Sandman): Sanderson McSnoozie aka the Guardian of Dreams. While he may be a man of few vocalwords, Sandy still has a lot to add and do in our current timeline. With helping all the new Guardians joining settle down; or bringing good dreams to the children who are being preyed upon by the armies of the Nightmare King- we are sure Sandy is quite the busy guy. Well hopefully he can still make time for meeting our Emily Jane! Currently no one has picked him up but we are hoping to see him come soon. *About RotG/GoC Canon Characters on Site: While we have a 1 post a month Activity requirement for all characters, we ask that any players of the RotG/GoC Canon Characters to make 2 posts per month. Still not a bunch, but just something we wanted to give a heads up about <3
OC/Other Canon Characters
We also have a couple of Original Character Wanted Ads, you may occasionally see us advertise them on this very tumblr!
The Blue Fairy: ��The (mildly vain) younger sister of the Fairy Godmother, Blue is an elemental & wishing fairy. She is a guider of children through the choices and trials of life and becoming adults, steering them towards good decisions and providing a firm but fair punishment of poor decisions that are harmful to themselves or others, be that harm physical, mental, or emotional. Her Face Claim is semi-open with our requester mentioning Julia Lockser as a possibility. Odile Roth: Odile is Odette's twin sister and compliments her more than she opposes her. She's the sort of person that is constantly pulling her sister back down to Earth. That being said, she's also the sort of young woman who isn't afraid to break a few rules to have fun. Mirroring the Swan Princess/Swan Lake fairytale, our lovely player Kat is looking for someone to pick this lovely lady up! Preferred FC is Olivia Holt. Preferred Center is Realism.  Nimue Tamesis: The youngest of the three Ladies of the Lake, after being trapped in a long slumber she awoke to find her sisters had moved on in their own immortal lives. Angry and scared she turned to the Anti-Guardians and now helps them to spread fear and doubt in the world.  This Arthurian Legend character was requested by Lady Archive. While she has an active NPC app, players who pick up the character are free to expand on Nimue as they please. Preferred FC is Ruby O'Leary. Preferred Center is Doubt. 
Captain Hook: The fearsome, yet not entirely unheroic Captain Hook is the well known, fictional captain of the Jolly Roger. However, despite the immortal's reputation there is a great amount that is unknown amount him. What is the story of the well known adult who swore revenge against the eternal child, Peter Pan? Well....that’s up for you to decide.  This Wanted Ad is mostly open with the requester Momo only having one preference which is the face claim for our dear old Captain Hook- Jason Isaacs. 
Tumblr media
Rise of the Believers would like to welcome 2 new characters~!
Zhi Liu: Zhi Liu is the Weaver Girl and lover to Niluang. We are excited to finally see her on the site and are certain that a lot is to happen between the two lovers. Will she take a stand in the war, or keep her nose clean? Played by Kitsie.
Katherine Shalazar: Katherine is Mother Goose. One of the original Guardians and from Santoff Claussen, she has been traveling the world spreading stories about the Guardians and more to children increasing belief for the Guardians. We are excited to see what she will do on the site and are sure that Nightlight is pleased to have her back! Played by KTMB. 
Tumblr media
We’ve had another eventful week for Rise of the Believers and trust me when I say more and more exciting things lurk around the corner! If you are interested in joining us just pay us a visit at: http://riseofthebelievers.jcink.net/ Pop in the cbox, take a look around, and enjoy! Until next time storytellers~

-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.”
