The White Widow (A Superhero novel)

Chapter 31- We are gonna need a plan...

Chapter 31- We are gonna need a plan...

Something inside of me snapped, whatever had kept myself living in my own bubble was burst and I was submerged in the real world. As James and I ran down the hallway, we searched for the Aranea Pill. "We're getting that Pill and when we do I'm gonna eliminate Tyler then we deal with my parents" I smiled as the words poured out of my mouth. "First I need to give that pill to Tyler, if everything works out I will inject my parents with my blood and give it them"

"I can't let you do that Rosie" He said.

"You have to! My parents planned on killing me!" I screeched "You at least care about me don't you?"

James nodded, turning silent. We ran down the hallways, passing whatever scientists they had here. My vision of myself inside my head was gone, instead it was replaced by White Widow feeding that pill to my parents. I smiled at the thought, they planned on killing their child.

We came to a laboratory that was enclosed, together we pushed the door open and smoke flooded out. I ran inside, looking along all the rows of boxes. "Aranea Pill" Jem whispered. "There"

He pointed towards a large box, I quickly paced towards it and opened the container with my bare hand stroking through. The cold hit me first, and then it ran up my skin sending the hairs on my arm to stand. I reached inside, fiddling with the small circular boxes I picked up one and read the label Aranea Pill.

"Bingo" I whispered. Quickly I reached in again and pulled out several more containers of the pills stuffing them inside my bag. "Perfect, this is what we need for Tyler" I explain "I just have to trick him into it, these are intake only and there's no way he could take these with me just saying 'oh here Tyler, these pills will cure you of your powers'. But how am I gonna do it?"

Jem huffed and smirked "This guy will be expecting a big fight, like a cliché villain. He wants the whole world to watch him against the White Widow, when he defeats you. Not saying that he will" He says quickly "He has to come to you, not the other way around"

I smile "That is really smart and totally unlike what a supporting boyfriend would say" I laugh and playfully punch his arm. "Where's the, I will help get you out of this? You basically want me to kill myself" I look up to Jem's face, his eyes are narrowed down at me.

"Well I'm not really your boyfriend, am I?" Jem says sternly. I shake my head and think back to the plan, Tyler wants a finale and that's what I will give him. I will give him, something the boy will never see coming.

"No you're not." I shake my head "But you're part of my plan. Well your penthouse is apart of my plan"

"You've never been to my penthouse" Jem says, unaware.

"You're right, I haven't. But from the photos in the Times, your penthouse looks out to the entire city. Perfect for my finale, here's what we are going to do. I am going to get on to Tyler's side, make him think I'm falling for him. With a dinner party, with just the two of us. Of course you will on standby, I will slip the pill into his food and bingo no more Black Widow" I explain.

It was perfect, a place that looks out to the city, trick Tyler into thinking I'm falling in love with him, slip the pill into the food and we were done.

"When are we gonna do this?" He asks, slowly walking toward the door.

"As soon as possible. Preferably tonight?" I say with a pleading smile, Jem shakes his head and opens the door. I follow after him, together we run down the laboratory doors together "I just want this to be over" I tell him.

Jem stops and grabs my arm "You don't get it Rosie, another persons hero is another persons villain. If you are going to fully be White Widow you need to know what you are giving up, a normal life"

I shrug and pull my arm away "I've never had a normal life Jem, I'm not gonna start now"

"Fine, don't come crying to me when this is over" He says angrily.

In the long drive back to my house there was a dead silence, neither of us dared to speak to each other. I endured myself in the buildings as we drove past, Jem folded his arms. Together we gave each other the silent treatment. The only noise inside the Rolls was the rattle of the Aranea Pills, everything else outside was a buzzing mess.

I watched as Jem released his arms and started to fiddle with his thumb, one thumb crossing over another in a circular motion. "This plan Si. How are we gonna get Tyler into the penthouse?" He asks.

"Oh crap" I moan, I lean forwards and place my head against my knees. "I forgot"

Jem laughs "For somebody who is in nearly all advanced classes you sure are rubbish at creating plans"

I whip my head up "Okay then James, what's your brilliant plan for luring Tyler in?"

He smiles, his cheekbones flare up and his eyes become much more sharper. And then, the boy begins to think. "How about, oh no that's too complicated...Well, we could always" He mutters on.

"Just tell me your fucking idea, this needs to happen tonight" I snap.

"God somebody's on their period" He mutters, even with my advanced hearing he did it in perfect earshot. "But anyway. If your parents are friends with Tyler they should have kept his phone number on theirs. How else would they have gotten him to your house?"

"Via work." I say quickly.

"It was just a suggestion, try it. I can get some of my maids to set up the dinner, but you have to get him there as quickly as possible" Jem warns.

My heart slowly starts to speed up, this plan isn't going to work. But it's all we have and all we ever will have. Wherever it will end for both of us I just hoped it wouldn't be in a casket.
