When Lightning Strikes (Ultimate Spiderman x Villain!OC)

Chapter 4

I rush the whole way to my apartment. The anger must be evident on my face because people avoid me. I want to wreak as much havoc as possible in this cursed town. Practically breaking the door as I swing it open, I run into my room and grab my costume. I head straight to the roof, using the stairs to hopefully avoid people. I burst onto the roof and put on my white mask. At this point the electricity is crackling throughout all of me. My hair is up and I can feel it frizzing up. In the distance I hear J. Jonah Jameson screaming about Spiderman and the lightning shoots out of my fingers crackling into the screen. 

The screen, and the entire building it's connected to goes dark. I gasp from the power. I'd never felt this way before. So energized, that I feel something. It temporarily fills the gaping hole in my heart. I desperately want that feeling and chase it down. I grab the  satellite dish on the roof and focus on draining all its electricity from it. The feeling is wonderful. I look at the surrounding buildings and get a terrible idea. I get to the edge and jump.

Landing on the adjacent apartment, I stumble before running and grabbing the satellite dish and sucking all the power in it. I can feel it coursing in me and I feel like a God. Is this how Thor feels all the time? Because it feels like a high. I climb down the side of the building and start running towards the square. People scream and stumble out of the way as they see me run towards them. I must look insane with the small bursts of lightning shooting out of my fingers and my hair flying around me. I make it to Times Square. People are still rushing over each other to get out of my way. I make it to the center and look around at all the electronics and devices everyone has. The signs and billboards climbing up the buildings, constantly flashing with lights and colors. I stretch out my hands and let out the angriest scream of my life.

My scream doesn't compare to the hundreds of screams from everyone else when the lights all shut down immediately. I had shot brilliant arcs of lightning out of my hands and it hit five different buildings, sucking all the electricity into me. I've never felt more alive. I start to laugh and laugh and laugh. I couldn't stop laughing as people run away from me in terror. It is the sound of someone who has lost everything, and I have. I keep shooting random things and taking its power. Light posts, cars, people's phone, it was all mine. I'm still laughing when I hear voices behind me. But the voices aren't screaming, they are taunting. I whirl around and see Spiderman and his gang of misfits. He yells, "Hey Voltage! I thought you were too weak to do anything bigger than shoplift!"

I growl. Spiderman knew me as Grace, and if I say anything he might recognize my voice. Instead, I hold my hand out and shoot at the stupid group. They all scatter as the car behind them explodes from the lightning. Nova tries to shoot me with his beam and I flinch, raising my hand to cover my face and try to stop it. I don't feel the hit and I realize I absorbed the energy from his beam. I laugh again in disbelief and shoot at him. The beam manages to hit him and he spins out of control into a light post. Iron Fist charges at me with his fist glowing and starts swiping at me. Instead of fighting back I sidestep all his attacks and dodge his swings. He yells in frustration and I shoot him straight in the chest and he flies backwards onto the ground, probably unconscious. I feel Spiderman's webs wrap around me and I grab onto the web charging it. He screams and lets go of me. I break out of the webs and White Tiger comes from behind me, shredding the back of my trench coat into pieces. I grumble, "Hey!" 

She keeps coming at me and as we fight she keeps grabbing bits of my shirt with her claws. White Tiger is still trying to hit me when the rest of the teams starts to come at me. I get so frustrated I let out an even worse scream than before, "LEAVE ME ALONE." The lightning shoots out from every part of me, cracking in the air in a bright flash. I fall to my knees in exhaustion. Everyone flies back except Powerman who holds onto a car. My mask had cracked when the lightning shot out and I can tell if anything hits it, it'll break and fall off.  I'm still on my knees when Powerman stands up and kicks the stop of a fire hydrant. Water shoots out and I can tell what he's about to do. I gasp in fear. Electricity is sparking off me, the air around me is still charged. I scramble to get up and run away but it's too late. He shoves his foot into the water, making it angle. The water hits me square in the face and I try to scream but my mouth is full. The water mixes with my electricity and pain shoots throughout me. I fly back from the blast and into an alley out of sight. My mask has broken off and I'm gasping in agony. My ears are ringing, I'm rigid and twitching not being able to get up.
