V.E.N.O.M 's Legacy

Healed

3rd person's POV

As the light had been turned on in a dark room, the only thing there was Layla, tied up to a chair. As the effect of Gusion's venom began to wear off, Layla begun to stirred a bit from her forceful nap. "Ugh, where am I?" she mumbled as began to wake up. When she tried to move her hands, they wouldn't budged as they were tightly tied to the chair with ropes and chains. "What da, release me!" she demanded.

"Sorry darling, I'm afraid I can't do that," said a voice in the pitch black room and could only see the person's feet.

"What you people want from me?" she asked.

"Like one of our teammates objective, payback," a different voice replied.

"Wait, don't tell me your the V.E.N.O.M. squad".

"Oh, she does have a brain to remember," a sweet voice childish voice said, "too bad she couldn't get sooner".

"Indeed," said a deeper voice.

Even with the light on, that could only light the small part of the room, she could see the silhouettes. She watched the middle height male of the squad, walked behind her and pointed a familiar green dagger near her neck. In an instant, she knew it was one of Gusion's blade. She began to panic, as Gusion was familiar for being the most brutal, merciless and dangerous assassin in the whole Land of Dawn.

"You're gonna pay for what you done to our beloved Nephila," he said without a hint of sympathy in his voice.

"It wasn't my idea Gusion, it was Guin's idea," she said as she put the blame on Guinevere.

"You know there is an old saying Breacher," said Angela as stepped into the light.

"An eye for eye," Harley said as he also stepped into the light.

"Tonight, sweet Layla, we're gonna have a lot of fun," Gusion said as caressed her cheek with the green blade and manaicly laughed.

Layla swallowed hard as she knew they will never give mercy towards her. "Don't have too much fun without me kids," he said as he walked out of the room, leaving the Vespid, Octopus and Monitor Lizard to have their fun with the S.A.B.E.R. Breacher.

After leaving the room, he went straight to the infirmary. He wanted to see if Hanabi's condition was improving, and to his disappointment she was just the same, in a not so good condition. He reached his hands out to her head and lightly stroke her silky raven hair. He looked at the hairpin that was beside the  bed. He hesitated to pick it up, but he eventually did. He held it closed to his chest as he thought.

"I wish you're completely healed Hanabi, so you could know; that I and the squad, deeply cared about you," he whispered his wish in her ear.

He put the jade hairpin in her hand, gently laid her hand on top of her wound and turned his heels to leave. But, as he turned around, the jade hairpin began to glow. Gusion stopped in his tracks as he suddenly felt uneasy. He turned around and was gobsmacked to see a turqoise glow from the hairpin. He carefully and slowly approached her, as he was cautious that the hairpin might do any trouble.

As he was getting closer the glow began to get dimmer. He was shocked to see the hairpin, that was valuable  to Hanabi began to do something enchanted. As he carefully picked up the hairpin, he saw her eyes began to flutter open. "What in Moniyan is going on here?" he was confused of the situation he was in.

"Wh..... what is going on? Why am I back in the infimary?" she began to ask as tried to sit up.

He rushed to her side and said, "You shouldn't be moving so much Hanabi," he said as he gently laid her back down on the bed.

"Why would you care about my health," she snapped at the white-haired assassin.

"Because you're an important person to this group," he replied as his cheeks began to turn a bit pinkish. His words were almost true, she was indeed an important person to him.

Then an idea pop in his head, "I got a gift for you Nephila," he said as he gave her one of his signature smiles.

She gave him a poker face and replied, "No, thanks," she looked away from him. "What if I say that your gift involve with your purpose of wiping the S.A.B.E.R. squad".

Her eyes widen as the statement and then looked into his violet eyes. 'Looks like he is not lying,' she thought. "I'm listening," she said.

He gave her on of his famous smirks and said, "I will give it to you, after Vespid do some check-up on you". She was tired to even fight back to the annoying assassin so she just nodded at him. He smiled at her and walked out to get Angela.

He returned to the room, where he left Layla to be tortured by Angela, Harley and Grock. When he walked inside, he saw Layla coughing out blood and was chocked by Grock. When the helpless marksman looked at the assassin, he just gave her a wicked smirk as he was satisfied with the work of the other V.E.N.O.M. members.

As he walked in he did a slow clap and said, "Nice job team, I knew you could get the job done," he said like a proud father after seeing his child won a game. "Drop her, Grock," he ordered.

The giant lizard harshly let the magenta-haired marksman dropped to the ground. She tried her best to get up, but with so much pain she falt in her body, she could even barely lift a finger. "Please, stop," she begged for mercy from the ruthless squad.

Gusion squated down and roughly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into his cold violet eyes. "You're lucky, Layla," he said, "Nephila just woke up, so I will spear you".

Layla let out a sigh of relief as she thought the torture session was over. Truth be told, it was far from over when Gusion said, "But that doesn't mean we will let you go". He turned to Angela and ordered her to check on Hanabi. The android wasted no time and quickly left the room.

"Grock, Harley, make our guest comfortable tonight," he continued, "she will be here for a long, long time," he wickedly laugh as he walked out of the room.
