Scarlet Romance

Back in Your Arms

Last time on Scarlet Romance...

Our hero is trapped between a rock and a hard place. Capture by the pyrotechnic scientist Eudial, her DNA drained from her body, and now being sentenced to death. Seems like her life is coming to a close end. Meanwhile, Silk and Scarlet have met each other and now they're on a race against the time to save Crimson.

"The ity bitsy spider went up the waterspout..."

Crimson gasped as the laser came closer towards her body, the red firey light edging slowly. Eudial smirked and twirled her hair in a mocking matter.

"Down came the rain and washed the spider out."

"That song is morally inappropriate at this moment!" Crimson shouted, her face drenched in sweat from head to toe.

"Out came the sun and burn the thing to death!" Eudial grinned wickedly and pushed the laser closer towards her. This was it, the final moments. "Any last words pest!"

"Burn this, fire witch!" Eudial fell to the ground as Silk kicked the woman down. The laser swiveled around and was about to hit Crimson's face. She screamed, closing her eyes as the laser came closer.

SHINK!

"I'm...alive? But how?" Crimson blinked and saw the familiar form of Scarlet standing in front of her, stingers drawn. "Scarlet..."

"Val, wait right here, I'll handle her." He growled, walking over to the fallen woman. Silk stood out of the way, allowing him to pick Eudial up by the neck. He squeezed hard on her neck, causing her to choke.

"You harmed my girlfriend like that, you witch! So for everyone who has suffered under your reign," He unleashed a stinger and pressed it on her cheek. "I'm going to avenge them!"

"You fool! I will not be so easily silenced!" She kicked him in the gutt, making him fall down. "And I won't stop my experiments! This is my life's work and you spider brats aren't going to stop me!" She pulled a weapon from the wall; a flamethrower.

"How does it feel to knock on the doors of death spider brat?" Eudial said, aiming the flamethrower at Crimson and Silk. "Any last words before you become crisps?"
Crimson looked up and smirked. "Man for a scientist, you sure do talk a lot when you know your going to lose."
Eudial shrieked, unleashing the firey flames of her flamethrower. "BURN SPIDER-BRAT!"
SHINK!
Eudial gasped, looking down at the bleeding hole in her abdomen before turning around to see a furious Scarlet.
"No one hurts my friends and my girlfriend." He growled, letting the blade come from out of her, covered in blood. The red haired lady coughed up some blood.

"You may have defeated me, but there are more of us out there. What will you do if she gets captured again?" The crazed woman asked, more blood coming out her mouth.

"Then I'll keep going to the end's of the Earth to rescue her. As for you," He tossed her aside, watching her dead body fall. "You can take a long rest."

"Watch out for the scary ones." Silk said, her eyes widened.

"Uh huh, but that kind of turns me on a bit." Crimson commented, struggling in her bonds. "You guys mind?"

Scarlet came over, sliced the bonds that held her, and placed her in his arms. The two stared at each other before embracing each other and crying. Crimson went as far as to pull his mask up and give him a chaste kiss on the lips which he gleefully accepted. Silk smiled, blushing a bit as she watched their reunion.

The sound of alarms blaring broke them from their train of thoughts. The two broke out of their kiss and stared at each other.

"We can do this later when our lives aren't at stake." Crimson told him.

"To be continued then punk." He agreed, putting her on the ground. "How can we get out without getting noticed by the guards or caught up with the other freaks?"

"Uh guys, I know my way around this facility." Silk said, grinning underneath her mask. "All you have to do is follow me."

And with those words, the trio started to run towards freedom, and maybe some lunch.

We did eventually make it out alive and without running into any of the guards. The three of us rendezvous at my place afterwards. My mother was so happy to see me alive and well along with Ben. She was also welcoming towards Cindy as well. She had asked to stay for awhile until she could get her life back together and learn about the world around her. My mother instantly said yes, enjoying more female company.

I asked Ben if he was going to meet up with the other spiders to say that he was alive, but he declined. He said something about needing to earn their trust again before he did so. Heck, it took him a whole week to earn my trust again. I eventually cracked when he baked me a delicious chocolate cake with Cindy's help of course. All was forgiven and our relationship wa back in order.

But the more things changed, the more they also stay the same. I had to learn how to balance normal life with spider life. My powers were unstable and I couldn't exactly waltz into S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters and ask for hero training. So I did the next best thing; Cindy and Ben. Both agreed to train me in how to use my spider powers effectively and efficiently. Cindy taught me more on a mental level, channeling my emotions and turning them into raw power while Ben trained me more physically with different forms of martial arts and fighting styles. Both were great teachers, even if I had a hard time keeping up with their demands. We had to fight in a private area, deserted and bare. We tried doing it in the living room and mom threw a hissy fit.

Other than that, we have been helping keep the criminal populace down for the city. This strange phenomenon happened when this red ooze covered the city. Cindy and I almost got infected if it hadn't been for Ben. I had managed to get a sample of that stuff and found it to be as sentient as my suit. It must've stimulated from the same material used to make Venom. Apparently that's what Ben thinks. We spent the entire time barricading the apartment from it. Cindy had a hard time fighting that day due to her being a slight bit woozy from the previous fight.

Eventually we got to see Spider-Man and his friends beat it. After that was smooth sailing from there. Or so I hoped...

It was then and there where I got to meet the estranged family my boyfriend had.

Sorry for the bit of blurb at the end there. I promise to cover those chapters later! If you want to request a chapter, feel free to ask. Thanks for all the reviews, favorites, and follows!
