18 Years before Y/n became Spider-Man, there lived a grizzled bounty hunter named Cayde Solo, a Beacon dropout, and leader of team CYAN. During his school years, he fell in love with a woman named Raven. After Beacon, he became known as The Gunsli...
Raven sits alone under a tree, sitting in silent solitude, as she is waiting for something.
Raven: ...Hm...What's taking him so long...AH....
She feels an unusually strong kick from the baby.
Raven: Oh it's alright, honey, please just stay in there for a little longer for me OK, we might not get another chance at this, but don't worry, I'll protect l you.
Like clockwork manticore flies in and lands about 100 feet from Raven's position, looking different since she last saw him.

He scans the valley and detects no other life forms, then starts walking towards Raven, who takes a deep breath and sits up, and walks to Manticore neither of them saying a word to each other. This continues until they are a mere few feet away from each other.
Manticore: I wondered if I was ever going to see you again.
Raven: I never stopped looking for you, it just took a while to find the right bate to draw you out.
Manticore: To what end, you going to try to kill me, your lover had Vibranium armor, and I still crushed his skull with my boot.
Raven: *Seething with Anger* That was then now I have Springs Madin's magic.
Manticore: Do you really think that becoming the Spring Madin is enough to kill me? I have killed three Madin's prior, what had twice the experience with the power you have.
The metal monstrosoty looks at her pregnant belly.
Manticore: And it looks like today I will get two kills for the price of one, I have never killed an entire family tree before.
Raven: AHHH!!!!
Raven Pulls out her Sword and fuses it with her newfound magic, and swings it at Manticore, who blocks it with his right forearm, and it chips a tiny bit of his red amantium armor. She soon takes another swing, at his head and it once again chips a tiny bit of his armor exposing his brain.
Manticore follows this up with a left hook to the jaw sending Raven flying right tearing up the grass along the way, she plants her sword in the ground to stop her acceleration, but as soon as she stops Manticore shoots a rocket out from his chest cavity, and it follows her but Raven uses her wind magic to redirect it right back at him.
Manticore just steps to the side causing the missile to fly up in the air and explode, meanwhile Raven create an ice sword and flies directly at Manticore, but he catches it and snaps it in half but she just as quickly makes another one and takes another swing at his head, but he uses his wrist-mounted flame jets, melting it before it could even make contact, then he punches her in the chest causing Raven to stumble but she recovers using a quick series of rapid magically charged punches>
Raven: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Manticore just laughs, as grabs her by the hair, and throws her into the air, Raven, flies up but before she can fall back down, she turns into a raven and starts flying around. Manticore uses every gun at his disposal to shoot the little bird down but Raven's flight agility in this form outmatched Manticores Targeting regulators, the dodges all of them with elegance.
Manticore: That feathered bitch!
She continues to fly but then she dive bombs at Manticore then turns back to normal, readies her Vibranium knife, and as gravity pulls her down she plunges the knife into his left arm and drags it down with her as she lands on her feet, removing a large part of Manticores animantum shoulder plate, exposing the wiring beneath.
Manticore: AH, FUCK ME!!
Raven smiles gets into her propper stance and creates a sword made out of the pure fire that was hotter than every SDC furnace. It cost a lot of magic and aura but it would give her the upper hand so to speak.
Raven: HAH!!!
She swings her firey blade of death right where her vibranium knife cut earlier and proceeds to melt the animatum as well as circuits inside, she cuts through his arm like butter, and
Manticore: MOTHERFU--
He transformed his right arm into a mini canon and unloads an explosive round right in Ravens' face. Knocking her on her back. Manticore looks at his severed left arm. And to Ravens' surprise, he starts laughing.
Manticore: An arm for a leg, ironic.
He begins to charge his energy gun on his left arm and aims it at Raven's head. Raven tries to move from her sitting position but she stops due to sudden stomach pains, that cause her to instinctively scream and fall on her back.
Manticore: *Laughs* Kids, nothing more than an inconvenience in the end, trust me, I am doing you a favor.
Reckless rage was flowing threw her body, but he was going to kill her if she did not do something fast.
Then she notices the little piece of the exposed brain near his metalhead. So on instinct, she takes the vibranium knife by the blade and throws it directly at his head with enough accuracy as she can manage.
The blade spins through the air as if everything else slowed down, as it landed right on target right in Manticore's eye, piercing his armor, and stabbing his brain, the only human organ he has.
Manticore: FKJKDDHHHAKHKHDKHFIIHHCIIIHHHHHHH
He short circuits as he begins to leak blood from the wound on his head.
A smile slowly formed on Raven's face as she watched Manticore riving in pain, but it was not for very long, however. As Manticore soon fell backward with a thud.
Just like that he was dead, the unstoppable killing machine, the one who (In Raven's eyes) ruiend her life, was finally dead. She played this moment a million times in her head, and she thought she would feel so many emotions upon seeing his corpse, happiness, satisfaction, justice, peace, relief, but too much to her disappointment, she felt nothing.
Raven: No, I...
She gets up ignoring the pain, and moves to Manticore's Body pulling the knife out from his skull and stabing him in the head repeatedly with it, hoping to bring hersome some satisfaction or some feeling of closure, so that all this was not for nothing.
Raven: AH!!! *STAB* *STAB* *STAB* *STAB*
Raven: AH!!!
*She looks down*
Raven: Oh...
Her water just broke, so she gets immediately gets her scroll out and calls for help. Now she just hopes that they will arrive soon. When she heard she was pregnant with Caydes baby she never would have thought she would bring his daughter into this world next to the corpse of his killer.
