Darkness Within (ON HOLD AND MAJOR EDITING BEING DONE)

Chapter 8 ~ Fighting Found New

I jump and do a flip, landing in a crouched position. I look back in time to see a web coming straight for me. Before it reaches me I recite a spell. The ball of web fluids turns around and heads for Spidey. Immediately he swings away. To bad I enchanted it to follow the target.

Spider-Man soon realizes what I've done and before he could do anything about it, he is stuck to the wall by his own webs. I walk up to him, a sway in my hips, and lean in close.

"I win," I whisper next to his ear, "Sorry Peter."

We have been fighting for hours now. His team bidding on us as we faught. I turn to see all the guys handing White Tiger cash. She bid on me? Wow, okay. Odd.

I go back to help spidey out of the webs. When I'm done I finally notice the fearful look on webs face and how the room suddenly became silent. Slowly I turn around to see Fury, Thor, Batman, and Superman standing there. Fury and Bat have a blank face, as always. Superman has a confused look on him. While Thor looks at me like I'm supposed to be a myth.

"I'll just go wait in the conference room. Batman you should probably come with me," states an uneasy Superman. Why is he here again?

Both men walk out of the room and into another part of the helicarrier.

Instead of yelling at me Fury aims his anger towards Spider-Man, "Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you're in? First off, she is not in her bed. Second, you were fighting her as she is trying to recover from surgery. I told you to look after her and make sure she is safe for the time being! Not injure her further!"

"Take a chill pill. I snuck down here on my own. Webs had nothing to do with it. I initiated the fight and won against one of your agents. I thought this place was supposes to have high security and excellent heroes that you send out to save people and whatnot. If I, a regular teenage girl, can take down one of your special agents, how safe are the citizens of this Earth really?" I ramble on, effectively rendering him speach less.

"Thor, meet your neice. She obviously has Loki's witts and Asgardian spirit. Her name is Jennifer Laufeyson," Fury says to Thor not looking away from our miny starring contest. Bitch, don't change the subject.

Before I know it, I've been embraced in a giant hug. Knowing I'm not stronger than him, I duck out from under him. I side step away from him and jump onto one of the beams nearby. I stand from my crouched position.

"I'm not a hugger," I state coldly. I can't afford to become friends with anymore heroes. Even if he is family. Family shamily.

Fury and Thor go talk in the corner, more than likely about me. I walk over to Nova and punch his arm.

"Ow! What was that for," he yells in pain. Sam glares at me through his mask-bucket.

With a shrug of my shoulder I reply, "Fun."

As Fury starts to head back over to us, the helicarrier shakes making us all stumble. Before we have time to ask questions an alarm goes off.

Fury starts to scream about protecting junk and getting into defensive procedures.

Everyone move all about, trying to stay upright when we shake. I smile knowing exactly what's happening. Suddenly a bomb goes off nearby. A blonde female around my age walks into the room. She wears a pair of purple tight leather pants, a corset of half-black and half-pink, one purple flat and one pink. She also wears a black mask upon her face. Her blonde pigtail braids with pink and purple tips and strands of black running through them are flapping around as she jumps giddily at the explosion. I always envied her hair.

"Candy," I call her excitedly.

She looks to me and shock crosses over her face. How could I not realize this sooner, she just found out my secret identity. Damn. Why do I keep fucking this up.
