Sweetpea was known for being very protective of you, and everyone in town knew it. So when he found out that you had gone missing around the time of the Black Hood incidents, he was devastated and furious.

He was pacing the floor, Jughead and Toni trying their best to calm him down. "How can I be calm? My girlfriend is nowhere to be found!" he shouted, his voice full of anguish.

Jughead placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and said, "We will find her, Sweetpea. I promise. We won't stop looking until we bring her home safely."

"This is all my fault," Sweetpea said, his voice trembling with guilt. "I never taught her how to fight. I should have. What if she's been kidnapped by the Black Hood?"

Jughead sighed and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "We're going to find her, Sweetpea. I promise. And we'll make sure she's safe from the Black Hood."

The next morning, the news was plastered with your picture, and the headlines read, "Black Hood Strikes Again: Local Woman Missing."

The town was in a panic, and Sweetpea felt a sense of dread in his stomach. He knew that time was running out, and he had to find you before it was too late.

Desperate to find you, the Serpents scoured the town for any information or clues that might lead them to your whereabouts. Sweetpea, driven by fear and anxiety, hadn't slept in two days.

He came upon a house and knocked on the door. There was no answer, so he knocked again, harder this time. Still no response. The house was unusually quiet, but a car was parked outside.

Sensing something wasn't quite right, Sweetpea pulled out his phone and quickly sent a text to Jughead with his current location, just in case. He knew that he was putting himself in danger by entering the house, but he had to find out if there was any clue as to where you were.

Steeling himself, he grasped the doorknob and pushed open the door.

The scene that greeted Sweetpea when he entered the house was nothing short of horrifying. You were tied up against a chair, your face bloodied and bruised, and it was clear that you had been crying. You were unable to defend yourself, and your kidnapper was trying to get you to talk, but he hadn't realized that you just wouldn't.

Suddenly, the Black Hood turned around and was shocked to see Sweetpea standing there. "Let her go!" Sweetpea demanded, his voice thick with anger and protectiveness.

The rest of the Serpents arrived moments later, switchblades in hand, ready to defend you. Sweetpea, now surrounded by his brothers, felt a surge of confidence and glared at the Black Hood.

"You don't want to mess with us, man. I've already filed a police report. It's just a matter of time," Sweetpea said, his voice low and threatening.

In a desperate attempt to escape, the Black Hood made a break for it. However, Fangs was too quick for him, tackling the masked villain to the ground and holding him in a tight grip.

"I got him," Fangs shouted to the others. "Go get her!"

Sweetpea wasted no time in rushing over to you, untying the ropes that bound you to the chair. As soon as you were free, you stood up and threw your arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder.

"Shhh, it's okay," Sweetpea said softly, holding you close. "I'm here, you're okay. You're safe now. We'll get you home."

The other Serpents gathered around you, offering support and comfort. Sweetpea didn't let go of you, still whispering words of reassurance in your ear, letting you know that he was there for you, no matter what.

"I'm never letting you out of my sight again," he said with a determination that gave you comfort.

"I'm so glad you're here," you signed to him, feeling a wave of relief wash over you.
