Widow

Intro

Man, who knew being Spider-Woman was this cool? I couldn't really get enough of this lifestyle. Anyways, the name's Shakira Pizcalli. I am the one and only Spider-Man, er, woman. I was bitten by a radioactive spider that gave me spider-like abilities. I can climb walls, shoot webs out of my wrists, you get the whole gist. But there is one thing about my webs. I am able to shock my prey with electicity and surprisingly, it's purple. Not my favorite, but hey, I ain't complaining about it.

Now, a bit more about myself, I am a 23 year old college graduate and a part time chemist at Alcamax. But, unfortunately enough, I was fired because of my ''unprofessional" attitude. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my roomate Olivia, who has a Symbote. They're pretty cool.

I don't like getting into my past which is probably a shocker, or not. But let's just say, I had two most important people die. I'm not close with my dad, I never really was, but he is the one who got me into MMA when I was in highschool.

"Man, Olivia, how can you type all your stuff in a computer and draw all day?"

"Girl, just let ya mind go with the flow!" Olivia chuckled.

"Yeah, but this shit is boring," I said closing my laptop, "I better head out on patrol, I'll pick up some food on my way back, yeah?"

"No, that's okay, I'll make something to eat!" She said with a smile.

"Oh! Bring some ground beef and human flesh!" Said Mercy.

"You're allergic to ground beef, Mer," I said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry about that, Kira," Olivia said, "Go out and have fun fighting!"

"Yeah, yeah," I said with a chuckle, "See ya later."

"Bye!"

Where was I? Oh, yeah, my old man and I never gotten along. He was Italian American while my mom was an immigrant from Venezuela. I never met my mom's family, but I got close to my dad's family almost instantly, especially my uncle Johnny and my Italian speaking grandma. As for my mom, she taught me to speak, read and write spanish. Even if it was mostly from the Book of Spanish Curse Words.

"Well, nothing too bad is happening here," I sighed, "I'll stop by th-"

I looked up at the sky in complete and utter shock. I don't know if I was hallucinating, but I think I saw the sky open and three people fall out. I chuckled to myself seeing a large ass crocodile fighting off a man and a hella pregnant woman on a motorcycle.

"Wait, is that a pregnant woman on a motorcyle?!" I shouted, "Yeah, no way is she fighting this giant lizard!"

I shot my web to a light post pulling myself towards the two people and the lizard. I went past the pregnant woman and towards the male in front of me.

"MINE!!"

"Wh-"

I shot my web at the crocodile's mouth and sent electricity down the sticky fabric causing the thing to yell in pain and fall to the floor.

"Hey, you should have not done that," growled the male behind me.

"Ever heard of finders keepers, hot shot?" I asked turning my head around, "And shouldn't the lady be at home resting?"

"Oh, no, I'm fine, really," said the woman, "That was quite the stunt you pulled there."

"Eh, I try," I said with a small shrug, "Let me guess, you two ain't from around here?"

"Ah, well, no, we're not," said the lady.

"Figures," I said softly, "Could you tell your friend to back up before I do something I won't regret?"

"That was a stupid stunt you pulled kid," growled the male.

"Hey, watch it," I growled back and jabbed my finger in his chest, "Your head was about to get chopped off, you should be thanking me, bastardo!"

"Miguel, she just helped us capture this anomaly," said the lady.

The male scoffed as his mask disappeared. His facial structure was, interesting, to say the least, his hair was messy but kept back. I eyed him up and down and let out a scoff.

"I never thought an old man would behind that mask, but I guess I was wrong," I said with a shrug as I took off my mask, "Jeez, who knew you'd be such an asshole."

"Watch it, kid," Miguel growled.

"Make me, old man," I hissed, "And I ain't a kid, I'm 23 and a half. Get it right."

The lady chuckled as Miguel clenched his fists. I watched as his mask went back on his face. I turned my head around and smirked seeing the brute finally awake.

"You damn insects..." growled the creature.

"I could say the same thing about you, big guy," I chuckled while pulling out a needle.

"Wait, what are you-"

I jabbed the creature's leg with the needle injecting it with anethesia. I stepped back and looked at a nearby clock, "Give it a couple of minutes to kick in," I said.

"Couple of minutes?!" Shouted Miguel, "Are you insane?"

"Will you shut up and trust me?!" I shouted, then dodged the animal's attack, "Woah! Looks like I need more for that lizard-"

"You think?!" Shouted Miguel.

I watched closely as the creature began to sway side to side while trying to attack. I chuckled softly as I pushed the creature down and wrapped him up with my web.

"Well, that was interesting, to say the least," said the pregnant lady.

"He'll be knocked out for a few hours, maybe longer," I said ruffling my hair.

"You gave him anethesia?" Asked Miguel.

"Yeah, I was a chemist at Alcamex before getting fired for my unprofessional attitude," I scoffed, "Those people are idiots."

"A chemist, huh?" Hummed the lady, "Miguel-"

"No, I'm not recruiting her," Miguel huffed.

"You saw what she did there, she is a good asset," said the lady.

"Yo, if you two done whispering, you can head back with this son of a bitch to whatever world you came from," I said a bit annoyed.

"Gladly," Miguel hummed as he picked up the creature.

"What's your name?" Asked the lady.

"Shakira Pizcalli, but my friends call me Kira," I said with a grin.

"Thank you so much, Shakira," said the lady, "You've been a great help. I'm Jessica by the way."

"Pleased to meet ya," I said with a nod, "And don't worry about this whole thing, I'll be sure to keep this little altercation a secret."

"Jess, we gotta go!" Shouted Miguel.

"Well, I better go, I'll try to convince Miguel to have you in our Society," said Jessica.

"Nah, it's fine," I said walking off, "Feel free to stop by anytime~"

"Will do," Jess chuckled.

Finally, the portal closed. Well, I better get the ground beef. I don't wanna make Olivia, well, Mercy pissed.
