A Spiders Web and a Willows Shade

Chapter 25 fight

I took my time to admire Peter in his skin tight suit; I have to admit he looked hot. But that doesn’t matter there is fighting to be done, and a death to die. When we reached the top on the re-built Oscorp tower we were face to face with Chris and the Willow Clones.

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“I’m sure,” I said, but was I sure. I didn’t want to Peter to fight alone, and I also didn’t want to die. But then I remembered what Peter told me about fate and destiny, if I tried to escape it, I’d die shortly after. Peter tried to convince me not to fight, but I was dying that night, I might as well die fighting.

“I don’t think you should fight, please I can’t lose you.”

“You’re not going to lose me Peter, when this is over I’ll be breathing, I’ll be alive, I promise.” I flat out lied to his face; it killed me inside, more than I would die on the outside.

While we were talking we forgot about the clones. I looked back to where the clones used to be.

“Peter, where did the clones go?” Peter looked at where the clones used to be.

“I don’t know,” Peter replied. Then suddenly we were on the ground. Behind us, duh. The fight had begun. The clones had the upper hand right away. And there were a lot of clones, and to make it even worse they all had my multiple mutations.  Peter looked at me.

“You can do all of this?”

“Yeah,” I said before a clone attempted to kick me in face. I caught its foot, and yanked the clone down. I was able to stand up, I looked over at peter, he was dealing with a clone, and the clone was winning. I froze the clone, but I almost hit Peter. Peter looked at me bugged eyed.

“Sorry,” I said, Peter was about to say something and I turned around and kicked a clone right off the building. I turned around to look at peter. The clone that I’d just frozen was slowly melting the ice. I quickly burned the ice around the clone.

“What are you doing?” Peter asked, after he killed another clone.

“This,” I said, the next thing Peter saw was a bunch of rocks fly at the clone. The clone was instantly down. After about another five minutes we had killed the rest of the clones. Maybe I thought I wasn’t going to die after all. I ran up to Peter and gave him a hug. Peter really didn’t understand why I was hugging him, but he hugged me back anyways. I felt something grab my foot. I screamed but quickly burned the clone. The clone fell on top of a wrecked Taxi, and that started a blazing fire. But I didn’t care. I reached up and took off Peter’s mask so I could see his lips, and kissed him. Fire, I was surrounded by fire, I was falling fast. I broke away from the kiss.

“We’re not done yet.” I said with dread in my voice.

“How do you know that?”

“I saw it.” I replied with the same amount of dread in my voice, I was still going to die that night. As soon as I thought that thought the last Willow clone showed up, it was about ten feet tall. I felt my breath get caught in my throat. This is it.

“You ready?” I asked Peter hiding the dread in my voice with determination.

“Yeah, let’s do this,” Peter said with equal determination. If only he knew I thought.  We began to battle again. This one was really kicking the shit out of us, but somehow we got the upper hand. Our last battle was begging to go good, but I knew I was still going to die. Fire trucks were now at Oscorp tower along with News Reports, and the Police. I was about to kill the last clone, and call my fate, my destiny. When suddenly the clone got the upper hand, the clone held me with one hand around me throat. The clone smiled a sinister smiled and let go. I heard Peter yell no when I hit the ground.
