Caught in a Web (LMK Spider Henchmen x Gender Neutral Reader) *CONTINUING*

Chapter 22

I was busy in the back of the vehicle preparing myself to fight, wrapping strong gauze around my hand so at least it didn't become bruised when fighting. I looked to my robotic arm, Turing it around to make sure it was completely secure and charged up which thankfully was.

'You really think we'll be able to do this?' Demi pondered a loud with my head and I closed my eyes.

'Sure as hell hope so. We're all as good as dead if it fails...' I responded turning my eyes to the spiders, who were also preparing themselves.

'We care for them...don't we?' Demi asked, snapping me back to their attention.

'...I suppose so...I didn't think I'd find myself getting emotionally attached to spider demons...but here we are.'

'I think it's more than that...' Demi hummed and I let out a silent scoff.

'Demi, now is not the time to play matchmaker...we have a mission so stay focused.' I cross my arms, listening mindlessly to the other's conversations as they were going over the plan.

"Uh...remind me again how we're gonna destroy this thing??" Pigsy furrowed his brows in concern.

"Macaque and Shadow brains over there- keep Sun Wukong busy." Redson spoke nonchalantly, referring to me as 'Shadow brains'. I threw a nearby wrench at him, hitting his head, though it melted afterwards.

Redson glares at me and I just give him a finger with a broad grin on my face. Redson just scoffs and turns back to the others.

"We break in with the spiders, and find Mei!" Sandy continued the plan, confident in it.

"The we use Mk's staff to smash that mech too bits!" Tang finished off, equally as confident.

"What?! But the staff's gone?!" Mk announced

"Great....that's info that could've been useful to share." Huntsman scowled and the other two spiders hummed in agreement.

"No. It's not." Macaque corrected, "Bone demon's keeping it at the top of the tower. But- I don't really see how stick is gonna be of any help."

"Maybe it'll give Mk enough power to finish the Bone demon off? Complete offense to you Mk but- You relied a lot on that staff, you may have your Mystic powers without it but it's not enough to take the Bone demon alone. So it'll be a LOT of help." I jump in, everyone's eyes coming on me.

"Then we'll give her the old monkey mech finishing blow! Mk always uses his staff to do that!" Sandy encouraged.

"Y/n's right, even if it's just a big old stick, maybe it'll give you the power you need now to finish her." Tang agreed with me, kind of surprising me that someone took my advice.

"Damn...Didn't think you'd agree..." I say to myself.

"It would make sense." Syntax shrugged next to me, typing away on his wrist tech. "I've made these for your arms, give me."

I raise a brow and allow him to touch my metal arm. He fiddled with it, adding something new to it. I couldn't help but wonder what his hand felt like, seeing as I couldn't really feel it with metal.

"There...If you get encased in ice, your arm will immediately burn hot enough so you can move your arm, and slice at the ice." Syntax nodded and I smirked.

"Thanks Syn." I say gratefully and Syntax looked away with flushed cheeks.

"You're upmost welcome."

We turned our attention back to everyone, who was done having their third inspirational speech about their adventures and shit. Nothing that I paid attention too. But now it was time to move out.
