The Other Spider

Redback spiders are close cousins to the Black Widows nearly as dangerous but less known. That's how it is for the second graduate of the Black Widow program, a younger girl that has completed training is known as The Redback. She however prefers her work kept secret, her skills under lock and key, and her identity harder to find then two snowflakes with the same pattern. She is always in Black Widow's shadow yet she is equal to if not more dangerous. She enjoys being underestimated and easy to look over, it makes her job easier. Always has and always will.

But when the program is destroyed by its first success and her files are found but her identity is still hidden she will do everything in her power to survive. After all Redback Spiders are known to hide in the colder and darker areas. She was made to hide and kill when she must.

So just like her namesake, she will hide in the shadows. She will calculate everything she must.

And she will survive.

Welcome to the story of Ashley R. Baker aka The Redback.
