SpiderMan's Daughter Book Three

Training For A War

Rachel POV
Cedar and Nytemare just returned with about 10 recruits that they trusted, as well as one new mutant that no one had ever seen yet.

They said they found her on the streets before they left to come back. Some say she's normal, but some say she's absolutely insane.

I walked toward the mirror where I could see this mutant and laughed at how ridiculously scared Cedar had acted upon bringing her in. He was standing next to me, seemingly afraid to move or speak.

"Oh don't tell me she stepped on your tail and that's why you're so upset." I laughed. He flattened his ears. "No. That is not why I am scared."

She seemed to be nice enough, she was just sitting there, drawing on a piece of paper. She couldn't've been more than 16 years old. Her hands were chained to the table, but she had just enough length so she could move.

She had dark, shorter hair and bright green eyes. She was wearing the typical black suit that everyone had to wear when they came in. She seemed to be drawing a stunning picture of Cedar and Nytemare, standing back to back, getting ready to strike. I could see the amazing resemblance from even here!

It was almost as if she was drawing them from right in front of her! "Wow. And she's only like what, 15?" I laughed. "Oui. She's 17, but the other side of her is a lot scarier than what you see." Cedar said, his voice shaking slightly.

"If anything happens, you know what to do." I said. He grabbed my arm, "I know I cannot stop you. But please be safe." He grinned at me. I gave him a hug, "of course."

I walked into the room and sat down across from the woman. She barely looked up when I entered, seemingly obsessed with finishing her drawing. "You can draw really well." I smiled. She looked up and smiled back at me. "Thank you." See? She was perfectly normal!

"Why are you here? You don't seem like a scary mutant." I joked They called me a scary mutant?" She growled. "I was kidding. No, you're not scary at all." I said quickly. Uh oh. She went to lunge at me full force, ready to grasp my neck and kill me.

Suddenly, she began to jerk and convulse slightly. Her hair turned from a dark brown-black to a neon, almost flaming orange. Her eyes turned from a green to a flaming blue. She almost seemed to be glowing with electricity!

"What is your name?" I tried asking her. "My name is Coin." She laughed in a high pitched squeal. She had a completely different voice! This voice was much much lighter and sounded more insane than the other one. I just sat ridged in my seat. "My name is Emerald. The other side of me is The Judge." She explained.

"Don't tell me, you went to some lab and created a female version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?" I asked slowly. She just stared at me, blue eyes unwavering. "So... What can you do?" I asked.

She produced two fireballs in her hands. "Woah, Mario. We don't need you to burn down the building!" I laughed. "Sorry, hun. You told me to show you what I could do!" She laughed. Suddenly, she stopped.

Her hair retreated back to brown and her eyes back to green. The entire transformation was incredibly creepy to watch. "What were we talking about here?" She asked me.

She had a very stern demeanor that I could tell was known as "The Judge." "How did you get this way?" I asked. "This way? What could you possibly mean?" She asked me. Her voice was deeper and sounded more pushy. "Where there are literally two people living inside of you....?" I asked slowly. "Oh, her? She's not getting back out again for a long time. Now get me out of these chains before I kill you." She snarled at me.

"Very funny. How are you going to kill me when you're...." I stopped as she ripped off the handcuffs. "Have any other questions, spider freak?" She snarled. "It's Spider..." She launched at my neck.
