10 | BRITNEY, BITCH

The two were suited up and in position. "How are the suits?" Fury queried the two.

"Did you steal this outfit from Britney Spears herself? It's literally just a red catsuit." Val uncomfortably shifted around in the jumpsuit.

"Mine a little tight around the old web shooter." Peter informed Fury.

"Parker!" Val and Fury shouted in unison, embarrassed to even think about what he had just said. 

"Energy's spiking. We have seismic activity." Fury announced into the comms. Val watched the street from where she was hiding to see if she would catch a glimpse of the elemental before anyone else did.

Peter spotted it first since he was at the prime location. The monster erupted from the ground and he looked like he was made of molten lava. "Okay, he's here! Beck, you ready? You know what to do." Peter announced into the comm.

Val did as she was told and jumped out into the middle of the crowd and began blasting the creature with flames. It managed to make him stumble back, but it really had no major effect. "Fires not a good idea. It only pissed him off! I can disintegrate metal around him, but that's all I think I can do to help." Val reported through the earpiece.

"Anything will help." Quentin declared with a flat and almost serious voice.

Val ran around the monster, dodging his vicarious swings and touched everything that was comprised of metal. Fire hydrants, the carousel and more were all turned to ash as Val ran by it and touched it. But, she was only one person in that large space. The monster was still absorbing metals from other places she couldn't reach or wasn't fast enough to get to.

Peter tried to distract it by shooting webs. But once his webs would hit the monster, it'd disintegrate into ashes from the flames. Val stopped before the ferris wheel. She knew it'd be a hefty task to try to take it down before the elemental got to it, but it had to be done so he couldn't grow bigger. Before she went to destroy it, she heard some faint screams from the top of the wheel. "Help!! Britney help!!" Val looked up and saw Betty and Ned sitting helplessly at the top of the wheel.

"What the hell? I know this bitch did not just call me Britney!" Val smacked her lips, having a feeling it was Ned who made up the name to Betty. Not only was she shocked by the nickname, she was also shocked that Ned and Betty were not in the theatre watching the opera. Ned knew better and still went out to participate in the carnival. She supposed he wanted to be the damsel in distress that day.

Val began to climb the ferris wheel through the ladder in the center of it, grumbling profanities to herself the entire way up. All the while, explosions, fire and Peter swinging around bugging the monster took part in the huge showdown going on between Mysterio and the elemental. Val felt like she was missing out while trying to save her two classmates.
