A dark red cape danced in the summer's breeze. An expressionless look on her face adored the midnight sky. Who was she? For the past few days, few have come to know her as the Rose Goblin. But who is she, behind the mask?
Turning around, she steadily took her steps down from the platform of the water tower and leapt gracefully onto her awaiting glider. With a tap of the peddle, she was off.
Here's another female villain we don't see much of. Or is she truly a villain? Joannah Wilkins had enjoyed her new abilities, but she knew that the source was a plague... a disease... just eating away at her. Only there so it can survive.
As she flung herself from building to building, she wasn't sure if the symbiote had known what she was thinking. But she seemed to be the one in control, so she continued on her way down the streets. That is, until she came across where she was aiming for.
The sign over this large city building read "Oscorp Industries." Looking around to see if the area was clear, she leapt down into a backflip that even the greatest of acrobats would envy, landing simply in a squat in front of the building.
The symbiotic body had shifted into that of a lab coat, tanned slacks, and under the coat, a white shirt. Then, she casually walked into the building through the swinging doors.
*Drip.*
*Drip.*
Water drops thumped down from a loose pipe, pitter pattering against the puddle of water below it. It would almost drive someone insane, especially in this dark room. White eyes seemed to be the only source of light. A single spider, crawling on all eight of it's legs went past a lumpy surface. Hey, don't we know this guy?
His name is Peter Parker. And up until last week, he pretty much had it made. Supermodel for a wife, a career picking up, the thrill of being in the webs once again, a great home. All which came crashing down on him, like a card house being demolished by a gust of wind. The horrible part is, he lost it all so fast!
The lights in the room flickered, revealing his figure. A red and blue costume, with a fantastic web pattern. A pattern which is broken in by several spots of oil, dirt, rips, burnt marks, you name it. He's beginning to wake up right about here.
"Nnghh..." Spider-Man moaned, lifting his head up. He flexed to familiarize himself with the restraints once more, finding them to loosen much easier then before. Those sedatives still haven't completely wore off. That's got to be some powerful stuff to keep me drugged for all this time. A crack was heard as he flexed once more, this time his muscles straining.
A black and white wolf-spider scurried off at the movements. -ungh- Still groggy, but I think I can get it in a sec. Our hero continued to think. As he prepared to flex once more, the sound of footsteps stopped him. His attention immediately flung to the steel door, as it swung open to reveal his captor.
Her cape flung to the side with the gust of the door being thrown open. Her eyes narrowed towards Spider-Man, an expressionless look on her face. The Rose Goblin took a step onto a platform, tapping an elder red button on the control pad. The platform extended outwards towards her prisoner.
Thrusting her palm into his forehead sent Spidey's head into the steel containment wall behind him, the pain not being much, especially to him. She ran her index finger down his chest, a sharp finger nail trailing, with her free hand of course.
"It's been fun toying with you all along, Spider-Man, but I believe it's time we end this."
"Yeah... I totally agree with you on that, lady."
Cocking her head downwards for a moment, Rose Goblin then proceeded to lift her hand upwards, aiming in her mind for our hero's neck. Preparing for the final slash with her more than sharp finger nails.
*CRK!*
Debris fell from each corner of her lower body, as two feet slammed into her chin from below. Rose Goblin was sent to her back not expecting this one bit. Something inside of her, though, was proud of those actions.
Spider-Man pulled the final restraints on his wrists and hand area, dropping down onto the platform before her. Rose Goblin slowly moved to her feet, rubbing her jaw with a free hand. Slowly, our hero moved up from his spider-like battle stance, only to back flip over three razors which Rose Goblin had flung towards him.
A gasp escaped her mouth as he landed before her, delivering a powerful uppercut into her jaw, followed by a roundhouse kick, and a sweep kick with both legs which was balanced by that of his hands, all in one fluid motion.
She was amazed by the attacks, for that slight moment underestimating. Underestimating all the times he's brought down his foes by these outstanding moves.
Taking deep breathes, due to the large amounts of sedatives, Spider-Man stood his grounds with his legs spread, in a spider-like battle stance he's been in numerous times. A smile came over Rose Goblin's face.
What's with this lady?! Spider-Man couldn't help but think to himself.
Joannah Wilkins (otherwise known as 'Chaos') casually made her way past security. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted one man in security clothing slam down a phone, pointing out to her.
"Hey! Stop her! She doesn't have clearance -- !" The man begged.
The woman took a quick glance around the area, spotting two other secuirty guards come from her corner. Instinctively, her body transformed into it's symbiotic state. She extended her arm outwards, sending her symbiotic hand, which had molded into a large bammer top, into the face of the security personel.
The one coming up from behind her, with a billy club in his hand, was greeted with a back kick into his gut. She spun around, driving two of their heads together, quickly disregarding them.
With a burst of speed, Chaos leapt from her position over the metal detector nearby, making her way to the stairs with revenge in her eyes.
Leaping up from the second floor's tile floor and the ceiling, Chaos ricocheted herself along the walls and down the hallway until she made her way to a room marked "Oscorp Industries - President: Ryan Jent."
Throwing her foot out, the thick, oak door came crashing down onto the floor. Two heads quickly turned to face her. One was the young face of Ryan Jent, the new President of Oscorp Industries... and the other face, well, it was familiar...
The second face that Chaos saw was none other then the son of the former President and CEO of Oscorp Industries... Harry Osborn!
Turning around, she steadily took her steps down from the platform of the water tower and leapt gracefully onto her awaiting glider. With a tap of the peddle, she was off.
