Arcee's POV

Joey: "If anything happens to them because of my connection with all of this-" 

Me: "Joey, Mech is only interested in me. Once they get what they want they will let your family go." 

Joey: "We do not know that. And you are my family too." 

I could feel that he was scared but he was also angry. So angry that his heart was beating as twice as fast as it should. But I understood him. They came after his family. 

Coming to the location we were to meet them, immediately lasers were pointed at Joey's body as I stopped. Seven armed men were pointing their weapons at him from in front of us. 

Joey: "What's the plan?" 

Me: "The usual." 

More men came from our right and with them was Silas. I slowly began to drive towards him but before he could realize I picked myself up so I could cover Joey with myself and began to drive towards Silas with great speed. I drove past him. Coming into a different room Joey went off me. 

Joey: "Mom! Alice!" 

Voice: "Looking for someone?" 

Realizing who was behind us I quickly transformed into my original form and stepped in front of Joey. 

Me: "Airachnid." 

She pointed her hands at me and before I knew it her web was all around me. 

Joey: "What are you doing here?" 

He asked as he stepped next to me. Airachnid got a bit closer as Silas stepped next to her. I looked at him. 

Me: "Help him. They are a human like you. You cannot let her-" 

Silas: "A few human lives are a small price to pay for a miracle of science like yourself." 

Me: "Joey!" 

Before I knew it he ran at Silas hitting him hard in the face with his fist. Two army men came and grabbed a hold of him. Silas took a step back but as he looked back towards Joey I could see his mouth bleeding hard. Looking down at his hand I saw brass knuckle. It was covered with blood. 

Joey: "You son of a bitch! Fight your own battles!" 

Sillas smiled then he nodded to his men. An electrical ball came flying towards me and before I knew it, it knocked me out. 


Joey's POV 

Airachnid: "I am still learning about humankind, but one thing is clear to me Joey. You people care deeply about family. Therefore, the sweetest revenge I could devise would be to make you watch as I take your family apart." 

She said as her face came close to mine. 

Me: "If you hurt them-" 

Airachnid: "You know how much I love my sport, right? So I'll allow you to save your mother and sister. I've stashed them close by." 

She looked past me and I followed her gaze. There was a timer. 11:52. 

Airachnid: "If you can secure them before the stroke of 12:00, I will let you and them walk away unharmed. Deal?" 

I looked at her. I know what will happen to them if I do not make it in time. 

Me: "Deal." 

Airachnid: "Six minutes. You better run Joey."
