Chapter 25- Not Expected...

Miles landed on the roof of where Tinkerer was sawn last on a news broadcast, all of the mass media curious and hungry for the new data on the newest villain. Apparently Tinkerer was there, claimingly stealing some parts for some of their technology. An old technology warehouse that shut down years ago, being rusty and old, the label on the front of the warehouse barely visible in the dark. He felt the anger coursing through his veins, could feel the adrenaline pumping through his eardrums. He clenched his fist, knowing he was ready to bring justice to Tinkerer.

He kicked a roof panel aside, making a loud clanging sound as he slipped through the roof panels, landing in complete darkness. He looked around warily, not knowing what was going on. He charged up his arm with electricity to give illumination to the room, when he sees Tinkerer standing a few feet away from him. 

"Oh Morales? Whatever are you doing here?" Tinkerer says, tilting their head.

"You know EXACTLY what I'm doing here," Miles says, his voice dripping with venom as his electricity sparked. "You killed my mom and I'm here for revenge,"

Tinkerer stood there for a minute, and then laughed. "You're so pathetic. Emotional over one death that has you wanting blood for your wittle mommy," Tinkerer faked pouting as they began to circle Miles. "You don't know loss, and you would never know it if it hit you in your damn face," they say, speeding across the room and punching Miles across the face, moving quickly to the other side of the room as Miles's electricity faded as he held his cheek.

"All you lost was one parent and you're already wanting to murder someone," Tinkerer says as they circle around him slowly. Miles angrily tried shooting some blasts at them, but they dodged like it was no problem. "Wow, no aim as well. You're really off your game, Morales," Tinkerer chuckled.

"Stop," Miles says as he continually tries to attack them, but they dodge, landing a few blows on him. They go back and forth for a little while, and Tinkerer lands a blow on his side that immediately got him gripping for his side, groaning and hissing.

"I think that this is fun, seeing you being tortured like this," Tinkerer says, walking towards Miles.

"What did I even do to you?!" Miles says through his teeth in pain.

"EVERYTHING," Tinkerer said in a glitched out voice that had anger behind it as they leaned forward, grabbing his chin. "Now, I think that it's about time I amp it up a bit," Tinkerer says as they open a latch on their wrist panel and press a button, their image shifting from her usual apparent form into Gwen, which shocked Miles.

"H-how-"

"Holographic technology. I can make more of her just for you," Tinkerer says in Gwen's voice as she multiplied, the copies surrounding Miles as they all tauntingly called his name in different chants, making Miles cover his ears, wanting the chants to stop. Something cold slipped into his hand that he didn't recognize as the electricity around him sparked as the multiple Gwens taunted him as the real one jumped from the open ceiling panel, landing in the center of what was going on.

"Miles?!" she said alarmed as she looked at him, but Miles yelled out in anger, lunging forward with the cold unfamiliar item in his hand.

"ENOUGH!" he said, making Gwen's abdomen the new holder of the cold object. A long...

cold....

knife.

Gwen gasped as she looked down in shock. Miles's eyes widened in glee as he looked at the Gwen, thinking she was a trick.

But then, realization hit him.

Tinkerer had...armor.

This copy...had not.

It then occurred to Miles...

Gwen's blood pooled around the knife. She looked at him in shock. He looked terrified. Tinkerer laughed as they pushed Miles's arm forward, deeper into her body, which made her gasp out in pain.

flickering pain...

she was falling...

falling...

hearing Miles scream her name with tears running down his face as Tinkerer laughed at him mockingly...

heart slowly beating....

slowly....

slowly.....

slower........

blood.....

blood......

so much blood....

is this what death feels like?
