Ark 25/Episode 68: Behind The Curtain

Late Night in L.A
Devastation had spent the night at a rather nice hotel courtesy of her employer…he did know how to spoil her. He had his moments of showing her affection though they were rare and she knew how it went with Deadman. He told her to stay put and do some snooping and her sources were out and about doing just that but in the mean time she had other business to deal with. The sun was beginning to set and Jayla was dressed in her costume, hanging about behind a construction fence with arms crossed. She had on a trench coat over her form to hide the costume with her hair in a loose pony tail and her bangs blocking one side of her face. It took some time but she’d been tracking Striders route to see where he hung out most in and with some trouble she knew he’d come in to save the day as usual. Turning around on the fence, she pressed in to it, clutching on to the links above her head and sending a wave of seismic energy on to the orange metal beams, causing them to groan and shift. Brown hues lowering uncaringly as the men packing up to go home would begin to take notice and shout out warnings of a mild earth quake causing the just starting structure to shift and tremble. Already some of the beams placed above for tomorrow that had not been attached shook out of place and would begin falling, luckily though not hitting anyone as they all ran out from the danger zone. It wasn’t anything too destructive…it seemed like a simple accident but it should have been enough to send his strider sense into a frenzy and call him over here. If the spider had indeed done so she’d simply watch for a second as her hand waves over the structure to stop the trembling completely. Whenever he finished up doing what he was…she’d give a sharp whistle to grab his attention and tilt her head over to the side as if inviting him over. She’d push off from the fence and go in to a light sprint, taking hold of a fire escape from the nearest building and hoisting herself up on to the third floor of it. If he’d followed, she’d simply rid the trench coat and properly show her face, giving him a small smile. “Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes….”

"WOOOOO!" Kevin would've been taking a nose dive down from a high skyscraper! his body straight and stiff like an arrow! arms pointed out and feet together, Kevin would've curled up into a front flip before shooting webs from both of his hands and pulling himself up! Web line after web line Kevin maneuvered every corner with sharp turns and alleyway shortcuts! Kevin would've landed on top of the police station only to then crouch down and begin crawling along the ceiling. He’d agreed to meet with Detective Sandy as he'd done last time. Arriving at the vent, Kevin would crawl and maneuver his way through them. careful not to make a sound, as his body weight clung to the metal and traversed along it.

Sandy had been sitting in his office, reading a Playboy magazine, letting the cigar burn between his teeth, and the smoke exhale from the opposite side of his mouth. He sat there and stared at the pictures until he heard contact. “PSSSSSSSSSSSSST!!!” Sandy would’ve turned the page. “you rang?” Kevin would’ve poked his head in through the vent and spoke. “Hey sandy! I came to meet you as soon as possible! “ He would’ve looked up at Strider. “Good. Well you’ll be happy to know your uh…”framer” has taken out two more bodies since last night. Gotta say he’s been on it. Still leaving the same calling card. Only this time the guy was strung up on a web while he was dead.” Sandy closed the magazine. “The same kind of webbing that we’ve tested you positive for before, when you leave it sitting at the crime scene. Care to elaborate on that?” Kevin pointed at sandy. “I thought you were supposed to help me not hinder me! I thought you were on my side!!!” Sandy pointed back. “I’m on the side of the law. Now I’m just updating you on the search. You find me some solid evidence and I’ll do what I can. Until then you’re the prime suspect.” Kevin sighed. “Right, right, I got it I got it.”

Kevin would’ve climbed back of the station, latching a web onto a corner and swinging along it! Yanking himself up on it and proceeding to swing once again! As he went back to his routine, his strider sense would’ve bent off in a heartbeat! “Huh?” coming around the corner from a fresh swing arch, he’d see a bunch of metallic beams falling down towards some construction workers! “Look out!” Kevin would’ve let go of his web, and shot about 10 web balls at the building and the beams themselves, forming one giant sticky like substance that looked like a spider sack, which held the beams against the building and kept them there! Kevin would’ve landed on the ground on his knee and hand with a soft thud, looking up and narrowing his eyes. “The ground feels shaky…really shaky. Fresh.” Kevin looked when he’d heard a loud whistling noise. Kevin followed the noise and the body of a figure moving, and seemingly climbing a fire escape. Kevin hopped the fence in one leap, flipping over it completely and landing, only to lightly jog. He saw her standing on the fire escape, and when she revealed who she was Kevin couldn’t help but keep his head titled up at her in surprise. “Miss….Miss Avalanche?” “Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes….” Kevin would’ve leaned his weight one leg, putting a hand on his hip and waving his finger up at her. “Heeeeeeeeey now. You used to be so sweet. You were like a little ray of sunshine in my day, with your bubbly bubbliness. I thought we were cool.” Kevin tapped his foot impatiently. “I sure hope this here accident was just that. An “Accident.” Been having a lot of trouble letting women off the hook lately.” Kevin rubbed his shoulder, referring to the woman he’d stopped not even so much as a night ago.

With Strider now there in front of her, she tosses the trench coat to the side and laughed softly at the old name she hadn’t heard in a while. “All those lovely traits…just like my hero name, are in the past. I’m Devastation now. You can thank the Skylands for that.” She’d adjust her gloves and flash him a rather unsettling grin. “Really packs a punch…” Leaning on the railing with her arms, her ass sticks out as she bends forward, watching him from below. “Awww always the bleeding heart, aren’t you? I figured you’d come swinging in to save the day like you do so well. It almost feels like old times again…except for the part where I openly put innocent lives in danger just to get lil ol yous attention.” Pushing off the railing, she turned before smashing in the window that would lead inside the empty toy manufactory that was closed for the day, the sun still setting off in the horizon. Without another word, she’d climb on through, stepping on to the platform that was attached to the side of the wall, allowing her to climb down the steps. “You’ve been a very busy boy. Making a name for yourself in new California, the people have really taken a liking to you. I mean why wouldn’t they? You’re THE Web Strider. The masked crusader, hero of the hour…everyones savior.” There seemed to be a bit of spite behind every word. “Well…not everyone. Those in Kasiahanna couldn’t all be saved but I digress!” She’d finish going down the steps and would turn to him if he’d followed of course, flashing him a giant smile as fake as it was. “We can’t all be heros…” Taking a Web Strider action figure, a best seller, off of one of the conveyer belts she’d grip it tightly and send vibrations through the plastic until it snapped into pieces. “Some are just better as villains.” Yeah it seemed like there was a lot of pent up resentment…she never brought up her past not even with Deadman as annoying as he was always attempting at guessing what her life was like before he found her. There was still so much bottled up rage and though over the course of 2 years she’d trained with her boss on how to control it, that anger still resonated within her. She pushed it all down and simply trudged forward…but seeing him like this…why did she want to see him for? He was the law and she was against it, letting him know of her current career choices would make for a sticky situation…or perhaps it was simply the need to feel a melancholy from a piece of her past right in front of her.

“Awww always the bleeding heart, aren’t you? I figured you’d come swinging in to save the day like you do so well. It almost feels like old times again…except for the part where I openly put innocent lives in danger just to get lil ol yous attention.” Kevin tilted his head a bit and furrowed his brow at her. “Are you…are a villain now?” She didn’t answer as she turned around and smashed through the window. Kevin would’ve shaken his head and sighed. “Getting real tired of these bad girls I keep meeting…but damn she looks good. I don’t know why that attitude attracts me so damn much.” Kevin hoped up to the third storie fire escape, and made his way behind her, following her slowly and still listening to her talk. He wanted to know why…why she was acting like this. She was far from the same ditzy blonde he knew so long ago. She was different…sooooo very different. It almost sounded like she was mocking him in a way. Kevin stood against the wall, his back to it, with his feet against it as well in a crouch like position. He watched her ascend downwards, and continue on. It started to get a bit darker as she did.

“You’ve been a very busy boy. Making a name for yourself in new California, the people have really taken a liking to you. I mean why wouldn’t they? You’re THE Web Strider. The masked crusader, hero of the hour…everyone’s savior.” Kevin clasped his hands together and blinked under his mask. “Well…not everyone. Those in Kasiahanna couldn’t all be saved but I digress!” Kevin watched as she went on to say that we can’t all be heroes and destroyed an action figure of him in the process. Kevin hopped down from the wall landing on the ground in a squat, before standing straight up. “Some are just better as villains.” Kevin would’ve slowly began to walk towards her. “Devastation was it? Look…I don’t know what you’ve been through for the past few years. But you were on the right track. I wasn’t there…to keep you on that track. I can hear resentment in your voice, but I don’t know why it’s towards me. Everything that happened was out of my control…” Kevin would’ve stood a few feet away from her. Putting his hands on his hip, the same posture he’d approach her with everytime he gave her a pep talk. “There was nothing I could’ve done that would’ve helped you in this instance. I’m sorry to say, but it’s true…why did you put those people in danger?...what’s changed in you? You had so much untapped potential   woman. Why don’t you just talk to me…though I get the feeling you may want to hurt me instead. Also.” Kevin pointed to his action figure. “Those models cost a good bit of money to manufacture and I for one like their design and would appreciate it if you would NOT break my merchandise.” Kevin now folded his hands. Even with her new status quo, he still chose to scold her like a child. Though he was curious…what was up with her?

Long Time Coming
He’d ask her…why she was like this. What turned her in to who she was now and at first she couldn’t help the short ‘hah’ that escaped past glossed lips. “Yeah. I use to ask myself that when I looked in the mirror. You don’t like? I think it’s an improvement.” The pieces fall to the floor as she stares down at them before finally looking to him. “No, it wasn’t your fault. I don’t resent you…I resent everything you stand for. It’s a joke! Why does it matter! People will always die…you can’t save them all. All you do is buy them more time before something else kills them.” She stops talking, rubbing her temple softly and turning away. “No it’s just my guilt talking.....When you try to do good and you end up doing bad. So bad…I didn’t mean to. I was trying to help and I…I accidentally crushed them all. An entire family just…there was so much blood. I didn’t mean to…I didn’t mean…” Seeing him look at her even with the mask on she could tell whatever sort of eyes he had they were gazing deep in to her own so she needed to turn away from him but even still his tone…just like old times but things were oh so different. “I can’t get their screams out of my head. It haunts me…their faces under the rubble. Pure horror frozen on their faces and I can’t bury it…” She rubbed her temple harder, brows furrowing. “The village just reacted negatively towards me. They tried to kill me…I told them I was there to help but I just made it worse and I got…I lost control. My powers were too difficult to control and it was either me or the village so I….” Flashes of what she did shake her core but she merely laughs and pushes it all down. “Deadman found me and he took me in. He saved me…I can control my powers now! I have so much more now…I feel it running through my veins and it feels amazing. Hahah….I’ll admit I have these urges to just…when I get angry I just wanna…” The floor beneath them would begin to tremble as she rubbed her temples harder, shutting her eyes tight as she takes a sharp breath. “But I got it…I got better control over it but every day it feels like its growing ya know?” The toys and tools spread on the belts and tables would begin to shake off until she stopped the shaking and turned back to him, smiling. “Lets be honest, Strider…I’m not a hero like you. Good was never an option for me…I realize that now.” She gestured to herself, her arms extended out as she gazed down at her body. “I destroy things…”

   “No, it wasn’t your fault. I don’t resent you…I resent everything you stand for. It’s a joke! Why does it matter! People will always die…you can’t save them all. All you do is buy them more time before something else kills them.” Kevin had heard this line a million and one times before and it never got old. One of the bad parts about being a superhero is coming to this reality…of understanding that you really can’t save everbody. Only the ones you save will be spared, and the ones you don’t pay the price…she went on to tell a story. A story about how she accidentally caused the death of an entire village. Kevin blinked a few times in disbelief. He never really…knew how much power she’d had. He’d seen demonstrations of it, but for it to be so massive in quantity was astounding and scary at the same time. Kevin looked down for a moment and frowned with a corner of his mouth. He always thought the people from Kasaihana would’ve had a hard time in the skylands but…it just hurt to see someone who was only a victim of their own powers be subject to something like that. That’d break anyone.

“Deadman found me and he took me in. He saved me…I can control my powers now! I have so much more now…I feel it running through my veins and it feels amazing. Hahah….I’ll admit I have these urges to just…when I get angry I just wanna…” Kevin felt the floor shake and he didn’t even have to look around to see it’d been her doing. “Well now.” Kevin extended his arms to keep balance. Just a demonstration and the whole place could’ve come down. “Do NOT need to make her angry right now.” Kevin thought to himself. She states she’s getting better control over it every day but everything kept shaking so Kevin found it a bit hard to believe until she actually stopped everything finally. A sigh of relief escaped his lips as he leant over holding his knees and shaking his head. “Man that is some scary material right there.” “Lets be honest, Strider…I’m not a hero like you. Good was never an option for me…I realize that now.” She gestured to herself, her arms extended out as she gazed down at her body. “I destroy things…” Kevin would’ve kept looking down but wagged a finger at her. “Now you listen here young lady.” Kevin would’ve finally stood up straight.”Everything okay? Room check?” he’d tap the floor a couple of times to make sure the room wasn’t shaking anymore. “Bet, awesome. Alright…look um. Devastation? Was it? Whatever.” Kevin would point to himself. “I’m not one to give advice about moral speeches and what the right thing is. I’m human like you…minus the tail of course.” Kevin’s tail fluffed lightly. “What I’m saying is you don’t have to be a tool of destruction. Granted I’m not here to change your mind, but merely tell you the god honest truth.” Kevin poked a finger to her chest. “you chose this life for yourself. You found your way out. It was evil sure. Destruction whatever. But destruction is only apart of the process of rebuilding. When something is destroyed, it doesn’t mean it’s gone. Only formless. It can be rebuilt. Takes some time but it is a possibility.”

Kevin would reach his hands under his mask. “I want you to see my face when I say this. Don’t tell nobody alright?” Kevin would’ve taken off his mask, and let his shaggy black hair free. His golden hues fixated on hers, as he made complete and total eye contact with her. “You’re not lost. You just strayed the path. But you can’t go around acting like you had no choice. One thing I’ve learned in my days is that there is always a choice. Sometimes the right one isn’t always the best one or the most rewarding. But it is the right one. Like I said.” Kevin would put his hands underneath hers so she could look at her hands to. “Destruction breads creation. I’ve seen you destroy some shit. I can only imagine what wonders these hands could craft if you used them the way a hero was meant to.” Kevin smiled warmly, flashing that toothy grin, with a giggle and closing his eyes. “So stop being so dramatic. You can’t fool me. Even now I can see a spark of goodness in ya. Just know, no hard feelings if we meet again and we’re on opposite sides of the law. At least here it doesn’t have to be like that right?” Kevin would fold his arms and look up. “Of course taking you in wouldn’t be easy. To be honest, I’m not even properly eqiuiped. This is some high tier shit I’m dealing with.” Kevin looked back down to her, unknown to him she should recognize him off bat. “But I hope this helps!....say uh….” Kevin would narrow his eyes. “Now that I get a good look at you…” his tail moved back and forth in contemplation. “I swear I know you from somewhere…”

I Remember You!
He’d stand from his spot and at first, her instinct told her to react and crush him. Crush every bone in his body and bring this entire building down on him….on them. They could die here together. She frowned at her morbid thoughts and began to wonder if perhaps being with Deadman had done more harm than good….no right? She was all here, her mind was fine…Brown hues gaze up at the masked hero as his finger makes contact with her chest, listening intently to his words…and they resonated within her if only for a moment…a true moment. “When something is destroyed, it doesn’t mean it’s gone. Only formless. It can be rebuilt. Takes some time but it is a possibility.” He really was a bleeding heart wasn’t he? This is what separated the two…she couldn’t see the good, the light…or maybe she simply gave up on finding it. Maybe he was right…she did this to herself? She didn’t ask for this! She didn’t ask to be this monster…Suddenly his hands reached to his mask and she’d tilt her head in curiosity when he told her he’d take it off! Eyes widened as she tried to stop him but was a split second too late and the first thing noticed was all the scurffy locks of black. “You’re not lost. You just strayed the path. But you can’t go around acting like you had no choice.” A pain in her heart stopped her breathing completely, lips parting in shock as eyes widen in disbelief. Those golden hues, pointy canines and strong jaw…a million thoughts ran through her as he continued to talk and honestly? It was all muffled. No she heard it but it was like…she was listening under water? She couldn’t believe it! He was…Thick lashes blink repeatedly as if maybe she was seeing things but no he was still there, that same face that had been thought of many many times before…His hands touch hers and she flinches slightly as if afraid her past was coming back to harm her. Would she see the faces of all the dead? Her father? Those people….but the closer he got, the more she focused on how warm his hands were, the more that fear began to subside and his words would leave a comforting echo through her ears. Widen eyes finally lowered as she watched him with furrowed brows, her lips forming into an open frown as if trying to make sense of who was in front of her. “I swear I know you from somewhere…” He said softly and finally she couldn’t keep silent as she whispered hauntingly. “Kevin…? You…you’re alive?” She could finally breathe correctly enough to form words as the old Jayla would show, her shoulders trembling as she jumped him, uncaring if she knocked him down with her force! “Kevin!!! Kevin kevin kevin!!” She said his name as if by some witch craft it wouldn’t be him on the seventh time! “I can’t believe it’s been you this whole time!!” Once threatening and destructive arms would wrap around him, holding him close as she buried her face into his neck. “It’s me…it’s me! Jayla…”

“Kevin…? You…you’re alive?” “Wha? Of course I’m alive. OH I forgot you…didn’t know it was me under here. Heh heh…supriiiiiiiise.” Kevin would’ve rubbed the back of his neck before she jumped on him like   a rabid fangirl! “Wooo!” kevin would’ve fallen back first to the ground! “Kevin!!! Kevin kevin kevin!!” “yes, yes, yes yes???” Kevin mocked as she embraced him for what may have been one of the tightest hugs of his life span. “I can’t believe it’s been you this whole time!!” “I’m still waiting for the part where you say you know me. Not that I don’t like you like that I mean your totally fucking hot it’s just…yeah.” “It’s me…it’s me! Jayla…” “Jayla…Jayla…” a lightbulb appeard over kevin’s head. “JAYLA!?!? Wholoping Web Snappers it’s you!” Kevin would’ve hugged her back just as tight. “Oh man! All this time it’s been you! I never would’ve guessed I’d have gotten to see you again! Ah man this is a surprise! How-“ Kevin would’ve stopped when he realized…this was Jayla. That preppy little blonde chick he almost had sex with but was caught by her pops…who was probably gone. Kevin would’ve sat up with her in his arms and pulled her close for a big hug. A meaningful one, one she may not have had in a long time. “I…I’m sorry for everything you’ve had to go through..” Kevin nuzzled his face against hers, his tail wiggling slowly to show the melancholy mood shift. He’d let her go and hold her by her arms. “Man it’s a small world after all. Never would’ve thought the one girl I didn’t finish with was my biggest fan. “ kevin snickered and shook his head. “You still look just as good as you did back then. If not better. Your butt’s gotten bigger to I notice. You work out?” Kevin’s tail would’ve slithered up beside his head as he kept the mood pretty light hearted. “ I mean I gotta say…I LITERALLY almost recognized you Jayla. What kind of hero just slaps in some contacts or something and can’t be recognized?? Sweet jesus girl, step your game up! Villain or not!”   Kevin would’ve playfully scolded. The two being mighty close to one another, Kevin would’ve scratched his cheek with his finger and looked to the side. “So…I know this is like. A bad time but it’s the only memory I have of you besides the hero thing…um. Were you really okay with…sleeping with a minor? Not judging just you know. Curious. I was pretty frigging lucky you know.” Kevin smiled and laughed a little. His tail getting friendly and tapping Jayla on her shoulder.

Meanwhile

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJsvd5fWZ74&index=44&list=PLYNBny7IRlVlQVpe8xfJPnsRI2lEbpVyi ) the sound of helicopter blades filled the air. A lone pilot flying over the capital of Peru, Lima. Lima is the capital and the largest city of Peru. It is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers, in the central coastal part of the country, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Together with the seaport of Callao, it forms a contiguous urban area known as the Lima Metropolitan Area. With a population of almost 10 million, Lima is the most populous metropolitan area of Peru, and the third largest city in the Americas (as defined by "city proper"), just behind São Paulo and Mexico City. Lima was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, as Ciudad de los Reyes. It became the capital and most important city in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. Following the Peruvian War of Independence, it became the capital of the Republic of Peru. Today, around one-third of the Peruvian population lives in the metropolitan area. Lima is home to one of the oldest higher learning institutions in the New World. The National University of San Marcos, founded on May 12 of 1551, during Spanish colonial regime, is the oldest continuously functioning university in the Americas.

The helicopter flew fairly high but disguised under the native insignia to advert any emergency staff or military personal. Sitting in the seat of the passenger’s area was none other than the Black Strider. His black outfit with his goggles. His trench coat fluttering in the wind. “We’re over the drop off point. On your mark.” The pilot said. Black Strider nodded, and leaned out of the helicopter for a second. He leaned, and kept leaning until he leapt form it with open arms! His arms spread open eagle as he dove down form a dangerous height! He’d then push a button on his belt, that had the insignia of a spider before his body began to disappear from view! He’d been using a form of optic camouflage allowing the surfaces around him to reflect off of him to obtain complete invisibility. Black Strider slide down a near by wall and landed on the ground! Looking around and checking the HUD in his goggles to find the city hall area where the American embassy was also established in. The screen read “Target: Chief of State Medicine Ackbar Schwarma.” Black Strider walked the streets an the allyways between to avoid bumping into anyone in particular. Making his way towards the area of his selected target in the stealthiest of mannors…

<p class="MsoNormal">“JAYLA??!” A genuine smiled filled her up when he recognized her…she was happy to know he remembered her enough to make an impact. “Oh kevin…” “How—“ He was excited to see her and began to ask how but suddenly he paused and she found herself being the one embraced. “I…I’m sorry…” Muscular arms wrapped around curvy form as she shut her eyes and enjoyed it for everything it was worth. In that moment she didn’t feel like devastation…she felt like Jayla. Jayla who was going to school to become a bio chemist, the girl who helped her father in the shop…the girl who had the biggest crush on Web strider and wanted to be like him to make him proud…to make herself proud. She felt all of that in just that one hug but as soon as it was over, she regained her composure….The truth was, she wasn’t that Jayla anymore. She was dead…with her father. But Kevin…he was still alive and that had to of meant something right? A sign of some sort that there was still faith to be had in life…but would it be enough to pull her out of that darkness? Kevin would begin to speak again and she could only give him a small smile. “Don’t remind me…you were my idol…” Keyword ‘were’. As he compliments her look she merely punched him in the chest, scoffing. “Watch it perv! Your words don’t make me melt like butter anymore. I’ve out grown your boyish charms and idiotic gestures.” He even mocks her costume and she raises a brow, eyeing him calmly. “You almost had sex with me and you STILL didn’t recognize me. Hiding in plain sight is a good approach…” They were talking like everything was okay…she almost felt normal again but that wouldn’t last. It couldn’t…Deadman would take notice if her old self would surface and he’d snuff that light out in a second to keep her as a cold blooded soldier. Kevins word distracted her though as she blinked back those thoughts and listened closely, whatever he said it didn’t matter, just the sound of his voice made her feel…it made her feel safe. Something she hadn’t felt in such a long time. That’s right he was a minor at the time wasn’t he? And she, a teachers aid but there was just something about him that intrigued her. He was a special force all his own that attracted her to him and she could understand how his hero persona did the same. Kevin….Web strider….gave her the best time of her life and let her believe in something. Truly believe…It didn’t matter now of course but thinking back on that day when they’d almost had sex on her living room couch…she wanted to relive that moment. When things weren’t so complicated…she wanted to escape this reality if just for a little while as her smile shifts into a thin line and she stares at him. “Not one of my best decisons but…you’re not a minor anymore.” She implied, brown hues trailing down from piercing golden eyes to the shape of his lips. “Kevin.” She whispered, leaning in so their noses touched and her lips tickled his just barely. “Kiss me.” She took his hands and laced their fingers together as she smiled, scooting closer to him as she doesn’t wait for him to say he would or wouldn’t, tugging on his hands to guide him to close the distance as she slams her lips against his own!

Making Up For Lost Time
<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin couldn’t help but laugh at her replies! Gosh it was like a blast form the past how well they could just clique up even in the worst of situations! Kevin missed her attitude, which was a bit more assertive this time around. Kevin could dig it. He had a thing for assertive women. Like Yumi yes….but he’s still trying to deviate his mind from that woman. Keivn couldn’t deny it. There was chemistry there for sure. Who knows…maybe in another time and place they could’ve been   something. She replies to his notion of them being differing ages at first.“Not one of my best decisions but…you’re not a minor anymore.” “This…this is true…” Kevin watches the tilt of her eyes…the subtle expression change on her face. She whispered his name and moved in close. Kevin couldn’t help but let out a light blush. “Jayla…what’re y-“ he tried to reply but he was cut off as quick as she spoke. “Kiss me.” When she laced their fingers together and slammed her hips on him, it didn’t take long for the silly hometown hero to respond and smash his lips into hers. Taking a deep breath through his nose so he didn’t have to break the kiss with her as he’d tilt his head, and smash his tongue against hers, lapping it in patterns with hers. His lips moving in sych, as he leaned forward a bit, letting her hands go, to slide his fingers down her firm thighs, squeezing them a bit but inserting his hips between her own. Mounting on top of her for a moment, he’d part their lips, and whisper in her ear. “You know I think there’s a rule against this in the Superhero/Supervillian handbook.” Kevin would’ve nipped at the skin of her neck, his canines pinching her skin a bit before his lips and tongue came to soothe that newly formed red mark. His hips bucking against hers through his tights. His boner wasn’t very hard to feel at this point, as his tail wiggled slowly in the air and his hands pinned hers down beside her. His lips parting ways with her neck he’d lean up and place his forehead against hers. “To avoid anymore interruptions let’s get a little hasty.” He whispered, before the magical tail of his came into play! Sliding down the center of her outfit, before quickly hyping up and tucking itsef in the “v’ portion of it. Kevin using his physical strength to rip the outfit right down the middle, all the way to the crotch area revealing what underwear she may have been wearing!

<p class="MsoNormal">“Mmf…I forgot how good you looked for a moment.” Kevin leaned his head in, pulling her bra down and sucking on her sensitive left tit, the nipple being attacked by lashes of his tongue. Meanwhile Kevin’s tail would’ve slipped beneath her panties, the bushy end of it rubbing against her clit in circles. Smooth, deep circles, as the pressure on her clit was good and hard to give her sutblte little chills up her spine, while kevin slipped and arm beneath the arch in her back to hold her closer to him, so he could damn near suck the skin off of her tits, her clit being stimulated by the second to lather up the tunnel so to speak.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gri Gri: The reaction he gave was exactly the one she’d hoped for, their tongue wrestling together almost desperately as she couldn’t keep her hands off of him, wanting to touch every inch and soon! Kevin moved swiftly, mounting her as her back was met with the cold hard floor but she took very little notice as her chest rose with excitement. Breath quickening with nimble fingers making swift work to tug the upper part of the suit over perfectly toned back muscles, well manicured nails grazing over the hard flesh the same time he was feasting on her neck. That warm fat tongue was giving her mild shivers as she squealed adorably, his shirt only half way off of him as she got distracted by his sucks and bites. “A-aahh not there…” He mentions this was probably against the rules and she giggled, finally throwing his shirt off of him and carelessly to the side. “Mm but doesn’t it feel nice breaking the rules every now and again?” It seemed he’d agree as her wrists are taken and pinned above her, earning the web slinging hero a blush and a moan at how he simply was taking charge…she found that sexy. Among other things. “To avoid anymore interruptions let’s get a little hasty.” Oh god yes, keep talking like that, it was so hot. She always found Kevin very attractive but of course learning he was Web strider kind of made him even hotter! The Jayla of almost 5 years would be a puddy mess in his hands at the moment but this Jayla….the Jayla now was—“Mmm yes please, I want you so badly.” Well maybe not EVERYTHING changed. But no one would ever convince her to admit that. Meanwhile, that naughty tail was being mischievous as it chose a piece of fabric to hang on to and then ‘riiiipp’! Her costume was torn in two right down to the gap between her legs as she trembled at the sweet sound of clothes being ripped. Kevin wasted no time in dipping his head down as she watched with a slight flushed expression, brown hues catching sight of his tongue making its new home on her breasts, specifically her nipple as she tossed her head to the side, not as sharp canines biting into soft lips to show her delight. Once more, his tail would find something to busy itself with in the form of her pussy lips spreading them apart to get to her clit as she trembled more than her powers could make her do, hiding slender fingers through messy locks of black and sighing in sweet forbidden bliss. “Oh god, Kevin…” His arms pulling her close, her cunt being pleasured so vigorously and that tongue! “Don’t tease me, please! I want you inside of me. No interruptions….just take me.” She begged basically, it was enticing but held truth…they were interrupted last time and she hadn’t been getting much play as of late…she was needing to let out frustrations and experience a rocking orgasm which she didn’t doubt Strider could give her. Her own hands would shift down from his messy hair to smooth shoulders and then descended further down, the palms rubbing and stroking on his still covered cock, urging him to let it out so she could feel every delicious inch. The thought of him inside of her…it was exciting. Hell this whole situation was…it was forbidden and dangerous and God it only made her soaked not to mention his tail was about to make her experience her first wave of an orgasm soon if he kept this up!

<p class="MsoNormal">“Don’t tease me, please! I want you inside of me. No interruptions….just take me.” Kevin heard her request and let her tit slide from his mouth with a “POP” sound. “Heh heh. Something about the rushed feel of sex is just the best isn’t it?” Kevin felt her hand make it’s way down and begin feeling up his lower manhood. It began rising to the occasion and kevin bit the corner of his lip in response. Licking his lips afterwards before lowering her back against the ground. Spreading her legs, Kevin would’ve reached down, and lowered the portion of the suit that connected as pants. Letting his meaty cock spring out, and his sack hanging over the rim of his pants. Spitting in his hand and rubbing it against the tip of himself, he’d move her panties to the side and push his head against the lips of her womb. Kevin usually tires to the paitient one, but the thought that last time they were indeed interrupted was making him hasty this time around, as he’d slide the entirety of his cock inside of her! Kevin was physically built all around and to top it off very well endowed, as his manhood spread open her gates, and forced her cunt to adjust to his size! Kevin taking hold of the base of her thighs and pushing her legs behind her head, watching her flexible body bend to his whims. A sly smile on his face as he licked the corner of his lips while balancing his body weight on the base of her thighs and the tips of his toes, dipping his length in and out of her inch by inch.

<p class="MsoNormal">The hero bit his lip as he could feel the warm and cozy coating of her womb and it’s fluids greeting his cock happily. Going in raw, Kevin closed his eyes for a moment to look up and give a goofy smile of appreciation. “Good god, this feels like last time…not gonna lie your stuffs pretty A-1 Jay bae.” Kevin would’ve put that tail of his to good use as the weight of his superhuman muscular body crashed down on her with the aid of gravity to give her a nice rocking sensation everytime he plunged inside of her. Her thighs jiggling at the impact, kevin used his tail to slither up between her tits, and loop around one of them, squeezing it and as his tail’s fluff   would’ve landed against the base of her chin, making sure she was looking up at him the whole time. “You knoooooooow with this superhuman strength and all. “Kevin started to thrust a bit harder….i mean he knew how strong he was and for anyone else these thrust would’ve been pretty painful as already she’d have begun feeling his cock in her stomach. “My thrust can get preeeeetty painful. You think you can handle it or do I have to take it easy on you rookie?” Kevin snickered, gripping her thighs a bit tighter as his tail continued to play with her breast and his thrust were paced but getting spitefully harder by the second.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In Peru

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Black Strider would’ve been perched in the corner of the main hall. The inside of his HUD glasses showing him the face of his target as his trained eyes digilantly searched the room for the man. Finally the man walked in through the front door and began to talk to the desk person. For a moment. “Excuse me I’m here to preform the scheduled check up.” The desk person ran their finger down the paper to trace the written time for the appointment. “Ah I see your name. Make your way on up. Have a good visit. “ “Yes thank you.” The man said his goodbyes and began to walk towards the giant staircase. He seemed in a hurry, but this bothered the black strider not, as he stealthily climbed the walls and began to stalk the man like a predetor to his prey. Watching him walk and keeping up with him was the easy part. The hardest part was figuring out how to make his death look like a complete and total accident. That’s when the Black Strider watched as the man would’ve stopped by a vending machine, in order to grab what appeared to be a bottle of water from it.

<p class="MsoNormal">Black Stirder would’ve stood on one knee while on the ceiling, and held his wrist out. As he did, a small bone like apendgae would’ve slipped from the base of his wrist. It had a hollow center, and looked like a blow dart shooter. To which in this case, Black Strider would’ve shot the man on the back of his neck. “GAH” he yelled out rubbing the back of his neck with discomfort. “5….4….3…” Black strider counted down. The man shook it off thinking something had bit him but as he walked his steps got heavier…and heavier…his vision began to blurr so he decided to take a drink of water to see if it would straighten him out. “2….1…..” When Black Strider hit 1 the man would’ve started to drink the water but before long he was falling over about to hit the floor! Black strider leapt from the ceiling to catch him in his arms! “Can’t let you fall yet guy.” He spoke to himself. He’d take the bottle of water and hold his boney wrist extension over it, dropping a drop of the poison inside of it. He’d then reach into his pocket and pull out a plastic bag that had a smashed black widow spider inside of it. Dropping the spider in the water bottle Black Strider would lay the bottle down in a position where it would still look like it’d been freshly dropped. Looking around once more still in cammo mode, black strider would’ve opened the nearest window, climbing out of it and shutting it behind him to avoid suspicion. Chiming in on his com link he’d speak. “Mother bird. The mission is done. Ready for pick up.” A voice replied. “Meet back at the area where the drop off commenced. Be there in 5.” Black strider nodded and with the strength of his legs, leapt off of the city hall building and began to hop rooftop after rooftop invisible to those around him and about to head back to the states and wait for this “accident” to make the news.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Mm hehe the very best…” She’d agree with him as he handled his pants after getting the hint of what she wanted. When his meat twitched and sprung out from his pants, her eyes lowered in appreciation…she recalled the first time she saw all of him and was pleasantly surprised such a cutie could be packing such a thing between his legs! That certainly hadn’t changed. She felt her panties being pushed to the side and gripped on to his arms to prepare herself for the first thrust and boy did his cock give a grand entrance inside of her! Wincing with a cute squeal, she tossed her head to the side and sharply inhaled but said nothing, encouraging him to continue as her legs are manipulated to reach all the way back to her head! She was a flexible acrobatic, this position wasn’t difficult though it was very erotic as it exposed herself further, her breasts pushed up to her chin now as she watched him with almost submissive brown hues. He planned on taking her correctly this time with that thick dick plunging in and out of her so smoothly, her walls would squeeze him with every thrust back inside desperately trying to trap the meat deep within her. With her hips angled as they were he’d found her spot with little to no effort and she laid out her arms above her head, trying not to fight him and just let her guard down…it was difficult but she was managing it as he enjoyed her pussy, fucking her to his liking as she watched his pleasured face which only made her blush at the thought that it was her who was making him feel so good. She felt like that young girl again on the living room floor who’d invited Kevin over for some pizza and other fun festivities and for a moment she honestly did forget about the present…for now it was just him and her and incredible sex. ‘smack smack smack’ the loud sound of flesh against flesh rang through her ears as he would crash his hips against exposed thighs, making her body flinch every time he lowered himself back inside of her. The tip did its very best to find her guts, the blonde gritting her teeth before once more squealing and withering in pleasure, toes curling inside steel toe boots. Suddenly his tail slithered up her tummy before wrapping itself on her tit, squeezing tightly as she cries out hands shooting out to weakly place themselves on his forearms, shoulders shaking. She didn’t try to push him away because in all honesty if she wanted to she could fight him and though her instincts were screaming at her to fight him they were ignored and replaced with the numbing sensation of being fucked into so hard so instead slender fingers settled for sliding down his arms and back to her legs, gripping her own calves to keep her legs further bent backwards for him. “You knoooooooow with this superhuman strength and all.” That suspicious tone brought her eyes to lock with his and listen intently or well attempt to since his thrusts gained tenacity and she clenched her teeth as a reaction with a moan vibrating her throat. “My thrust can get preeeeetty painful. You think you can handle it or do I have to take it easy on you rookie?” At that, she couldn’t help the broken laugh that was mixed with a pathetic whine at the end as she stared up at him almost challenging. “Oh is that whats..oooohhh…happening?” A particular thrust made her cry out but she continued, trying her best to give a snappy remark. “That’s cute…I was thinking this was only just a warm up! You can do better….can’t you?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh is that what’s…oooohhh…happening?.......That’s cute…I was thinking this was only just a warm up! You can do better….can’t you?” Kevin would’ve let a slow and sly smile slip across his face. He’d thrust one more time before pushing his massive cock deep inside of her as far as it would go and let it sit inside of her for a moment with a long drawn out groan. “Mmmm Jayla.” Kevin would’ve slide his hands off of her thighs and leaned in, to bump foreheads with her. “I adore the sound of your voice. Do me a favor and tell me how much you like my love making…” Kevin would’ve began kissing on her face seemingly harmlessly before smashing his lips against hers and picking up on his thrust, this time being more up close and personal with her as he plunged his cock against her upperwalls, the head of his cock kissing her cervix with precum kisses.

<p class="MsoNormal">https://38.media.tumblr.com/57c813e4756e51fb20960492ee26be1f/tumblr_nu7t00JpkJ1thrxwgo5_500.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin released his lips from hers, and rested his head beside hers, letting out subtle moans against her neck, while hooking his arms beneath hers, and keeping her body pinned down to the ground with the force of his hips. Each thrust would’ve bounced her ripe little ass right off of the cement and right back up against kevin’s rock hard frame, her leather covered asscheeks smacking against the pavement as now Kevin was deeper inside of her than before, but with a lot more speed and impact behind his hips this time.

<p class="MsoNormal">https://33.media.tumblr.com/af7ed5fd9812bccbebacd8910d676aff/tumblr_ntz76qd1sy1thrxwgo4_500.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">“Come oooooon say my name some more,I love it.” Kevin singing sweet nothings in her ear, all the while his body language completely giving off the opposite feel as his cock plunged the deepest parts of her womb with the ill intent of flushing her pussy of every single drop of cum it had to over. Kevin’s tail continuing it’s job of stimulating her clit at the same time. Kevin running his tongue up the curvature of her neck between thrust and letting his own voice rumble against the skin of her neck. He could feel his cock swelling, as he bit on his own lip. “Ah man Jay bae, you’ve got me wanting to bust already and we can’t have that now can we…ngh..”   Kevin felt his cock shooting out even more precum each time he thrusted inside of the buxom blonde’s pussy. Kevin had already been having such odd feelings about fucking other women rather than settling down, and he wasn’t about to stop any time soon. Not when gorgeous ass women such as Jayla were willing to give it up to him. This was different though. Him and Jayla had a spark there. One that probably wouldn’t be explored further than this but it was nice to feel something different in the moment.

<p class="MsoNormal">A gasped escaped through her when he forced his way deeper if possible, sending her cunt into a squeezing frenzy as sweet juices drenched the intruding member to make his thrust slicker, sloshing their fluids together until hips locked against creamy full thighs in to a full stop. Distracted eyes were barely kept open at this point even as Kevin rested their foreheads together, catching her attention as she lightly lifted her lips to brush against his with affection. “I adore the sound of your voice.” At this, her body almost melted against him…letting out a delighted sigh with how sweet he was being. Present Jayla of course would back hand a person silly for trying any stupid moves on her but old Jayla? The one who had the biggest crush ever on Web strider? She’d be puddy in his hands….and so she was. “I…” So close to giving in she wondered was this the best course of action? One kiss, two, three and his lips were all over her face which made her smile softly. Finally they landed on her own in a passionate mesh of tongues, her arms reaching out to hold him close, her hands digging into his back when one strong thrust tries to break her in half, crying into the kiss and digging her nails into the flesh of his shoulder blades. “Oh fuck!” She cursed when their lips separated and caught her breath while she could but Kevin wasn’t letting up, their bodies so tightly held together it was erotic…smooth skin with bouncy breasts rubbing along rock hard muscles and with every harsh lunge of his extension ruining her insides it was almost too much! Restless fingers delved back in to messy locks to hold his head right where it was, urging him to bite and suck on her neck hoping to leave a mark, adoring the idea of being branded by the hero was going to make her have a hell of an orgasm. “I love how…ah! Oh Kevin I love how you make love to me! Please, more. Youre the best, it feels so good!” The rushed feeling, the need to be so close to one another while still half dressed fucking in the middle of the city in a closed off building…No one could say being a villain/hero didn’t have its perks. Blonde locks messily layed about her like a golden halo though the words coming out from swollen lips were nowhere close to being angelic. “Kevin kevin kevin!! YES!!” Her nose scrunched up in pleasure, giving out a rather adorably concentrated expression from the orgasm sneaking up on her little by little…she was soo close! “Kevin almost…I’m almost…just a little bit more…oh god…” That pussy quivering in submission was the same one about to make him bust and the thought of being full of Kevins load only helped her reach her climax as once flailing legs snaked their way to his waist, locking him to her and tightening their hold to the point it’d crush a regular mans lower ribs!! Brown hues widened a moment as she realized something and tried to warn him. “Wa-wait Kevin I’m going to cum!” Which was a good thing though right? Except Deadman knew when Jayla was close to cover her mouth unless he wanted his brain to turn into jelly…The bombshell blonde couldn’t experience an orgasm without the high risk of screaming and when she shrieked…well the ultrasonic screech would come out as it was just an involuntary action. Kevin on the other hand had never finished with her but the pleasure it was just so incredible she couldn’t control her body and with the already tight grip on his hair, she merely lowered her palms to press heavily into his ears as the orgasm finally came, rocking her until she saw white…and the rest of the building faced her devastating ability as it shook, the windows shattering within seconds as well as anything else fragile laying about that would basically explode in to thousands of pieces. Jaylas cry weakened and ended in an echo as her body slumps down, her head resting against the hard ground as she tries to make sense of the world. “Oh….wo-wow…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kevin almost…I’m almost…just a little bit more…oh god…” Kevin bit his lip as he listened her scream and shriek with multiple moans in his ear! God he was enjoying it…his cock swelling up inside of her tight cut, Kevin would’ve kept holding her close and bucking his hips almost as hard as he could! Kevin’s grip on her shoulders tighted with his arms hooked under hers, as he grunted against the skin of her neck. His tail wrapping around her waist just to make sure she stays as close to him as possible as he was about to reach his own climax! Sure it didn’t take him as long as he thought it would, but her body combined with the moans that escaped from this sweet lips were enough to drive any man crazy. Jayla was SERIOUSLY dime piece here!

<p class="MsoNormal">https://31.media.tumblr.com/66d8c68a9855666f2eebb23269dbc6f0/tumblr_ntypa3YwpD1thrxwgo7_500.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">“Wa-wait Kevin I’m going to cum!” “PHEW! THANK GOD! I sure as hell wasn’t in the mood to nut first!’ Kevin would’ve put his elbows beside her body and really started putting the pedal to the metal here! Slamming his hips into her frame as if he were a dog in heat, now at this point trying to get the both of them to their orgasm’s just in the nick of time. Kevin’s strider sense went off for some odd reason, and his made him furrow his brow. “The hell? Now? What could?...ngh I’m cumming!” Kevin grunted, and next thing he knew, jayla’s hands would’ve cupped over his ears and when it hit, while kevin couldn’t hear much, he heard what sounded like a muffled screech. The building shook a bit and kevin’s right eye twitched, but that didn’t stop him from thrusting about   a good five more times, before his and her orgasmic fluids mixed together and spurted upwards a bit, leaving a few white streams on the base of her abdomen. The semen sticking rather nicely to her skin, as Kevin thrusted a few more times just to make sure his cock was bone dry.

<p class="MsoNormal">https://38.media.tumblr.com/cb5ddd9b0c779a49e8c9b57eca4f2635/tumblr_ntv6dkH1QU1thrxwgo3_400.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin would’ve then hoisted himself up with his hands pushing up off of her and looking around. “Yeah wow is right…did you…do all of this?” Kevin would’ve started to stand up, but not before leaning back down, and giving her a pop kiss on her forehead. “I’d normally cuddle but I’m aware of yours and my position in this scenario so…guessing theres no time for that.” Kevin would’ve offered a hand to help her up, looking at the mess he’d made on her abdomen. “Yeeeeah…I think theres a towel around her somewhere maybe. Get that mess up.” Kevin stuffed his limping meat back into his tights, and dusted himself off. “Well uh. I wanna stick around and chat but I think it’s clear that you and me both have to get to going. Lord knows what kind of attention you just attracted…but hey. Remember what I said okay? Change takes time but hell you never know right?” Kevin would’ve been walking backwards while looking at her and talking. “and JUST…remember! Next time we see each other no hard feelings if I have to bust you up a bit.” Kevin would’ve opened the door and winked at her before waving with his tail. “Take care of yourself Jay Jay.” Kevin would’ve shut the door and sighed. “PHEW! Man that was a doosie. “ putting his mask back on, he’d kick off of a near by wall and sling a web, pulling himself back up into the air and swinging into the night to return to the apartment to grab a bite and probably head to bed for the night.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Parallel to these events

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">An elderly lady would’ve been on the phone in the middle of what looked like an elegant courtyard outside. She sat alone in her chair, in the middle of a large stoney field, with tiles abroad. This was a private mansion, placed on Khaki Island. A solitary island which served as the site of one of Taniban’s private residence and palace after he purchased the land and drove the villagers out. It also housed an "inescapable" prison camp, a Military Training Center for the SK Security Service Unit (including a lab used to create B.O.W.s and train the men against them), and an airport. Servant women walking around in maid outfits, and men dressed in proper suit wear, making their way to and fro around the place with peps in their steps. The older woman had a raspy voice showing her age fairly well, but she continued to speak to the mystery man on the phone. ‘You know what I’ve called for. Even with your father’s passing and you taking up the mantle, you cannot simply veto the agreement he has made with me prior!” the voice on the phone was a male voice, as he replied sternly. “Hush you belligerent old bat. I can and will do what I want. I do not care if you are apart of the conglomerate. You have ties to the Armada, something I’m trying to pry away from not build more trust with. You’re all liabilities and you haven’t been successful in your endeavors in years. Why would I want to continue doing business with you in any sort of fashion?” the old woman slammed her hand on the arm of her chair. “I’m not getting any younger damn you! The serum! The serum is the only missing piece I need to revitalize myself and manufacture a bargain with the rest of the world PMC’s! WE gave you the test subjects the very fire power that lead you to the world wide power that you are! Now HONOR YOUR BARGAIN!”   the man on the phone simply scoffed. “Drink bleach and die slow you old hag.” Click. The woman threw the phone to the ground and then held her wrist afterwards her bones were getting brittle and she wouldn’t be able to keep this up much longer. She looked at her wrist, and one of the aids came to her services. “Madam are you alright?” “No…No I am not alright. I’m tired of being old and I’m tired of having the only viable asset to my de-aging, shit me out of a deal. That little brat… his father would’ve turned over in his god dammned grave….” The older woman stood up with the aid of her cane. “Get my wheelchair and take me to the Blue Room. There is a back up plan I have.”

<p class="MsoNormal">The man would’ve ran and grabbed her wheelchair, giving her assistence and starting to roll her down the giant long pathway that lead back to the inside of the mansion. “What plan would this be your royalness?” She chuckled. “There more than one way to skin a cat. Just like there was more than one way to create a super solider…I want you to find the location of Serum AR73MI5. She is my next plan of action…we’ll have to align our pieces right but if we do that body will be mine, and the Armada can once again shine brighter than the sun.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin had also blown his load….all over her and inside her as she sighed in pure satisfied bliss, relaxing against him. Suddenly after a couple more thorough pumps he pulled himself out and off of her. She turned her head to face him and watched silently as he started talking…and talking…and talking. Giving him an amused expression, she sat up and just watched him walking backwards. “Good bye, Kevin.” She said to him teasingly as if helping him get along already. What they did was…incredible. The frustrations just washed away but the moment he shut the door, the present Jayla returned as her knees lifted up to her chest and she rested her forehead against them, blonde locks cascading over her shoulders and on to her legs as she sighed. “It was fun while it lasted...” She didn’t know why she searched him out for. To take her anger out on him? To try and end his life? Or maybe she simply just wanted to see him…Jayla was still broken and finding the pieces of her shattered life. Even she didn’t know what she really wanted in life but one thing was for sure…a slight ring sounded off in her ear as she pressed on it and waited for the voice. “We have some new information.” Jayla was working for the other team. And she was good at it. Better than fighting as a hero…things ran smoother as a villain and it certainly had its perks. Standing up, not minding being covered in hero juice she merely ordered the person on the other line to send her what he found asap….and a driver to come pick her up as she wasn’t too keen on walking around with a ripped costume, some shards of broken glass and cum all over her. She would be seeing him sooner than later though…someone was out and about dressed similar to him and she was beginning to get suspicious as to how he tied in to it but soon enough she’d delve her nose in to it and find out whats going on….

<p class="MsoNormal">Back at the apartment, Ayame had been making dinner for Kevin. She was pretty chipper for a girl cooking so late in the evening as she finished laying out the table that actually seemed really more set up for a date of sorts with candles lit on the well decorated table top, two plates sitting down and some wine. She wasn’t dressed in anything too much just a pretty polka dotted skirt and corset top of pink and no shoes on considering she was more comfortable in the apartment this way. Everything was cleaned up, dinner was made and she even had some other surprised for tonight but that would come by later. She’d waited for Kevin and texted him to ask when he might be around…when she FINALLY got some form of sign she’d started on dinner and lit the candles simply waiting on him now as she turned on some smooth music just as the window is opened, indicating his return. Smiling, the short dragon royal would call out while serving a big helping of spaghetti and meatballs with extra meat and extra sauce. “Kevin, are you hungry? I made dinner really good tonight…” She’d called out, hoping it’d be enough to get him to come over and if he did she’d just stand there by the table and gesture with a soft and hopeful expression. “I know it’s a little late but I wanted to show my appreciated for you letting me stay here as long as you have.” Ayame in truth…really cared for Kevin. He was the first man she grew fond of and he taught her almost everything there was to know about Earth…regardless of the casual sex, he meant a lot to her and she never pushed for anything more than just what they were doing but she did want….something from the hero. Living in her sisters shadow was already hard enough without living with the ex boyfriend who had never gotten over her and she tried to make her own image in his eyes but it proved difficult…what with…all the other women he slept around with. She wasn’t stupid, she could sense heat signatures and smell the pheromones of other women off of him but she let him be…she let him go through whatever this was in hopes he’d maybe take the hint that she was still here…but after tonight she’d make things change. Especially with the special type of outfit she had waiting in the closet for him to see!

Trouble At Home
<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin would’ve finally arrived back at the apartment, and landed on the window seal! Lifting up the window and climbing on inside of it and sighing, pulling his mask off and sighing. “Good god I’m tired.” Kevin stepped inside and noticed the place as kind of uh…dimly lit you could say. “Kevin, are you hungry? I made dinner really good tonight…” “Dinner? Oh heck yes! How’d you know Ayame I was starving!” Kevin walked towards the kitchen, seeing the tablet and the candles lit around it. It looked romantic, but he wasn’t any more focused on that. His main concern was the food he could sniff in through his nose. “Mmmmm….”   Kevin would’ve made his way to the table and sat down in the seat, leaning back in the chair, and pushing his tail on the ground, to balance himself while sitting on the chair so he could lean back, putting his arm on the back of it and looking up at her. “I know it’s a little late but I wanted to show my appreciated for you letting me stay here as long as you have.” “Awh Ayame. That’ is so sweet. You know I don’t always ask you to cook for me. I mean I do. But when you do it by surprise it’s always the best, just like your cooking.” Kevin would’ve flashed her a grin and reached up to pull her down by the back of her neck and kiss her cheek. “Actually let me go change out of this outfit.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin would’ve went to the bathroom and pulling off the fluctuating molecules suit and changing his boxers, noticing there was a bit of left ther but luckily he kept a spare pare of draws hanging in the bathroom, which he’d get Ayame to change for him regularly. Slipping them on and a black wife beater, he’d fluff his hair out a bit and let his tail hang a bit as he came back to the dinner table, before hopping back into the chair, and slamming his hands on the table comically. “So how was your day Ayame? Talk to Yumi today? And…whats uh.” Kevin would’ve signaled to the area. “What’s with the candle lights and stuff? This almost looks like a date scene hahaha! We know better though.” Kevin laughed a bit more holding his stomach as he did, before leaning his arm on the table and resting his head in his hand.

<p class="MsoNormal">When he made his way over to sit at the table, she merely flashed him a small excited smile as he compliments her cooking and greets her with a kiss on the cheek…not exactly what she was hoping for but it was something. Deciding he should change, the hero leaves to do just that…leaving behind a whiff of pheromones among other smells which Ayame quickly picks up on. Her smile fades only slightly as she soon takes a quick breather to calm her anger down and react maturely…no sense in getting angry about it, it’s been done and it’s over and he is home. That’s what she could count on with Kevin, he never spent the night at another womans place…it was just a fling. One thing she had over these females was she was allowed to sleep beside him. Of course she talked her way into that one very stubbornly but it worked! Hearing him change she began to pace slightly, going over her surprise for him in her head. Things should run smoothly once she did so and she had already sent an application to Heros inc. And it really helped when your sisters husbands dad ran the place…though she’d never admit asking for help from the likes of Connor, her sister was glad to help though very cautious of the idea, whatever that idea was. All would be revealed soon enough though as he returns and sits down again at the table. She smoothes out her skirt, as she was still a royal and image was everything. “We know better though haha” At that comment her eye twitched a bit but she smiled on, pointing that out. “Um I am glad you asked, Kevin.” Serving him a good helping on his plate and a drink, she soon takes her seat as well in front of him on the small table. “We’ve known each other for a good 2 years and I noticed on Earth it is customary for men to take women out on a date. I have…never been on such a thing and thought it’d be nice to know what it feels like. I simply took it upon myself to kind of make this….a date. Just to see what it is like and maybe it won’t be so bad enjoying…this date. You are the peach of my eye so I wanted to do something nice!” Uhh it was apple of my eye but Ayame still hadn’t understood metaphors and the concept of them, usually messing them up but I digress. Sitting there to let it sink in…and hopefuly it did even a LITTLE BIT with the dense Kevin she couldn’t hide her excitement any further. “Before you say anything else I have a surprise.” Hoping out of her seat she rushes to the room and tells him to wait right there in his seat…minutes later she returned. But in a much different attire. It was a costume actually, of white pvc fabric mixed in with black lining with fish net in the more exposed sections such as her back and a section of both hips and right under the sides of her breasts which were very tightly squeezed in the latex like fabric. Her legs were also dressed in the same white material as it was a one piece though most of it gets covered up by a samurai resembling armor that reached up to her outer thighs and ended right at her ankles, her feet adorning the traditional shinobi shoes. Her arms bore red spiked armor along her shoulders down to the elbows and ended with same colored gloves. There were more details to the suit but it was still a work in progress and she left the mask off for now, standing there happily and gesturing to herself. “Well? What do you think?!”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">   The outfit was rather impressive to the eye, hugging her curves and bringing out her womanly figure as it seemed tight to get in to but of course so did every hero outfit she searched on for examples and ideas. She’d been working on this outfit for a while it looked like, it still needed work obviously but she was getting there slowly but surely. “I applied for a job at Heros inc. I’m waiting to hear back from them but I believe I will do well in my trials and become a hero just like you. Though I’ll be a recruit but I shall do my very best. I even picked a name for myself: Spit fire! What do you think? Has a nice bell to it yes?” She meant it has a nice ring to it but it was close enough.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We’ve known each other for a good 2 years and I noticed on Earth it is customary for men to take women out on a date. I have…never been on such a thing and thought it’d be nice to know what it feels like. I simply took it upon myself to kind of make this….a date. Just to see what it is like and maybe it won’t be so bad enjoying…this date. You are the peach of my eye so I wanted to do something nice!” Kevin smiled and laughed nervously as she completely butchered that line. “hahaha, d’aw. Thanks…it’s really sweet Ayame, I can’t lie about that. “ Kevin would’ve begun to eat his food, before it kicked in what she said about this being a date exactly. “who, wait, what a date? I mean…that’s sweet and all but I kinda thought we’d talk about this. It’s not that I don’t want to its ju-“. “Before you say anything else I have a surprise.” Kevin would shut his trap and sit down and wait.

<p class="MsoNormal">Before long Kevin feasted his eyes upon her outfit and he couldn’t help but look wided eyed for a second. “Sweet mother mary that’s hot.” Kevin looked her up and down. “I applied for a job at Heros inc. I’m waiting to hear back from them but I believe I will do well in my trials and become a hero just like you. Though I’ll be a recruit but I shall do my very best. I even picked a name for myself: Spit fire! What do you think? Has a nice bell to it yes?” Kevin would’ve ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “Ayame listen we’ve had this talk before okay? You’re not like Yumi you don’t have as much control over your power as she does. Your getting there but not…not yet.”Kevin would’ve stood up and folded his arms looking at her sincerely. “This hero business is really really serious to me. I take it serious enough to know that you have to be willing and ready to put your very life on the line everytime you go out there. This isn’t some couples event this is my job. One that I don’t want you involved in.” Kevin sighed. Gesturing with his hands. “You could get hurt! Really bad! Or even injured! I can’t do my job like I want to with you always needing my protection…it’ll…slow me down.” Kevin would’ve rubbed his arm looking away. “Please understand. We’re good friends and I don’t wanna put you in that position.” Kevin was quick to friendzone her. He cared about her to, maybe a lot more than he should, but he didn’t want her int his life. He didn’t want her involved in any of this…he’d never wish that on her, no matter what the circumstances. He wouldn’t even put someone in dagner just to help him or hinder him for that matter. “I’ll pull some strings and get your app canceled okay? Please understand, this is not what you want to be doing.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Hoping to get a good reaction, she stood there eagerly to see what he thought! Judging from the sigh it wasn’t going to be a good one. “Ayame listen we’ve had this talk before okay? You’re not like Yumi you don’t have as much control over your power as she does.” Yumi….he always had to bring her up in some form or way regardless of the topic. Yumi can do this, you can’t. Yumi Yumi Yumi!! Her smile faded completely as she listened on to him and before long that dragon temper was going to start rising as piercing pink hues narrowed. “Yes well for it to be a couples event…We’d have to be an actual couple, Kevin.” Good friends huh? And such good friends with all the other females he fucks. He continued on and she could see he had good intentions but bad reasoning as her eye twitches before finally she couldn’t hold back any longer and stomped her foot, approaching him and poking him hard on the chest. “YOU aren’t the only hero out there! There are others who do their job! It isn’t you against the planet! There is plenty of room for more hero’s like myself! I do not care if you do not want me involved, I am a XiaoFang Dragon! I have been in more wars than you can count on your toes! I lay my life down for my people every day in Dragon Kang! I fight for my people and other villages who are oppressed and bring them to better life!” At this point she was scorching mad, going head to head with him…well she was shorter but she tilted her head up to make sure she was in his space. “I do NOT need your protection. I may not be like my oh so beautiful amazing sister but I do not need to be! I am a full dragon!” Well ever since coming to Earth she hadn’t been able to transform in to her full form but maybe it was more a mental thing than anything else. “I do not need to always be compared to her! I am not her, Kevin! I never will be no matter how many times we have sex and you close your eyes pretending I am! I have been patient and understanding and I know she hurt you deep but that is not my fault and it has been many years since it happened! Move on! The sleeping around with other women needs to be done too!” There was indeed spitefulness to be had in her tone as she poked him again. “AND you will not TOUCH my application! You are not my father! I worked hard on this costume and I WILL be a hero with or without your blessing! I am meant to do something great in this world and it is be a hero to the people of earth who need saving! If anything you should encourage me! We need more people to help save the day and do good around here!” Finally she crossed her arms but her glare softened as she sighed and shook her head. “I am worried for you…ever since living in New Cali, you have done changing. You wear that mask more than you have it off and I am not one to judge but I am wondering if there is deeper meaning to all this sleeping around with other women too? I am here. I know I am not Yumi but I am something better…I am Ayame. I should be good enough for you…better than any female! I am here, I have been here for TWO years! I root for you as a hero….so now root for me.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes well for it to be a couples event…We’d have to be an actual couple, Kevin.” Kevin would’ve rolled his eyes at that notion, only to fold his arms and let his head rest in the palm of his hand. “I can’t even with you right now…” He murmured to himself, as Ayame began to continue. couldn’t hold back any longer and stomped her foot, approaching him and poking him hard on the chest. “YOU aren’t the only hero out there! There are others who do their job! It isn’t you against the planet! There is plenty of room for more hero’s like myself! I do not care if you do not want me involved, I am a XiaoFang Dragon! I have been in more wars than you can count on your toes! I lay my life down for my people every day in Dragon Kang! I fight for my people and other villages who are oppressed and bring them to better life!” Kevin only continued to give her a stare. His eyes slanted nonchalantly showing he was listening, but lord knows he wasn’t in the mood for it. Not in the slightest. She was actually pretty cute when she was mad, thought right about now the seriousness of this conversation is probably the only thing that was killing his mood. He had to listen at least. Hear her out….at least. She talks about how he could pretend she was yumi all he wanted to but at the end of the day she wasn’t. Kevin glared off to the side on this comment as even he admits to slipping and calling her name out during sex every now and again. Who knows.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">That being said, Kevin could only listen but he was getting a bit irritate. He could tell there was a lot on this girls plate, but goodness gracious, you’d think she’d just understand the program already. I mean sure there was..her dreams. Which one could only respect but….still. if something happened….“I am worried for you…ever since living in New Cali, you have done changing. You wear that mask more than you have it off and I am not one to judge but I am wondering if there is deeper meaning to all this sleeping around with other women too? I am here. I know I am not Yumi but I am something better…I am Ayame. I should be good enough for you…better than any female! I am here, I have been here for TWO years! I root for you as a hero….so now root for me.” Kevin would’ve ran a hand through his hair before sighing. “Ayame look I’ve told you before I don’t…want a relationship right now. I don’t. You’re great and all but like you said you’re not…your sister.” Kevin turned away rubbing the back of his neck. “There’s a hole in my heart that has yet to be filled. Maybe it’ll fill itself in one day but not today…not for a while…as for this silly dream of yours things don’t work here like they do in xiaowhereever. Like it or not you are my responsibility. If your on the field with me and something happens to you, it’ll be my fault for even introducing you to this life. I don’t want that…on my conscious. You need to get it through that thick skull of yours that I’m not going to let you hurtself for any reason.” Kevin clenched his fist. “if you did…it’d only make this job harder. To see someone else I care about go down because I wasn’t there…” Kevin thought about his parents for a moment before turning back around and heading into the bathroom. He’d begin putting his suit back on and change into the classic web strider outfit. “I’m going out to get some air. When   I come back, get rid of that outfit and get used to the normal life. I won’t be the reason you go out and get yourself killed, nor will it be with the team I work with. If you can’t abide by that go stay with Connor and your sister.” Kevin made his way to the window again. “you’re a sweet girl Ayame…but you’re just not my type.” Kevin flinged a web to a   near by building and leapt from the window and begin swinging through the city streets at night! He needed some air to get his mind off of her…while his actions seemed harsh, he didn’t want to have the world knowing web strider had someone close….he can’t have that.

Duties of A Big Sister
<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t want a relationship right now.” Ugh this man could be infuriating! She scoffed at that comment but continued listening to what he had to say…and of course it was not pleasant. “You’re not…your sister.” And there it was, the truth finally comes out but it didn’t come as SUCH a surprise….but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt. Oh no, it cut her deep hearing it from his lips as her glare finally vanishes and she merely watches him. He tells her to get rid of her dream and her outfit…she’d only hinder him and if she didn’t like these rules then to leave. Leave…he didn’t care if she stayed or not? Simply because she wanted to be something great and do this world great? “You’re just not my type.” Her heart was hurting greatly and her stomach was in knots as Kevin vanished out the window. Purple/pink hues lowered as she stared down at the floor…the smell of freshly made Italian food was still present and the made up table was just there…reminding her of her stupid attempt of making this a wonderful night. “But you’re mine…you’re a lot of things to me…” Walking over to the candles she blew them out and plopped down on the chair, picking up the fork and picking at her food with a defeated sigh. At first she just kept silent, playing with her food….and then the tears came as shoulders trembled and she shoved the plate away to rest her head on the table and cry into her arms.

<p class="MsoNormal">Half an hour later…in Ryoville, Yumi would slam the land line phone down with a heated glare and an annoyed sigh. “Dammit!” She’d gotten a call from a very upset little sister crying about what had transpired through the night and as late as it was, she was already putting on her shirt and getting ready to leave TONIGHT to head for New Cali. “That fucking Chan, always causing problems. I told her not to bother with him. I TOLD her. But it seems no one likes listening to their elders.” She was mostly talking to herself as Connor was trying to sleep in the bed but the ringing had awoken his wife as she paced in their bedroom, getting dressed. “I’m going to go see her. She needs me.” She explained to her husband before plopping down on his side of the bed, to kiss his temple. “I’ll be back as soon as I can. I have to kick Chans ass until his costume isn’t the only thing that’s red and blue.” Yumi usually wasn’t violent unless she had to be…she out grew that brash attitude as Ayame had taken that over for her. That still didn’t mean the older red head had lost her fierce some tenacity or love for the fight but after the years shes had, shes learned a couple of life lessons along the way. Ryoville had taken up a lot of her time and keeping the townspeople happy and the money running in smoothly. She could afford to take a day or two though to go be with her sister to make sure she was alright and get down to the bottom of what was going on now.

<p class="MsoNormal">“THWIP!” The sound of another web shooting and sticking onto the corner of a near by building could be heard in the dead of a silent night. Kevin swinging from building to building…riding out each individual swinging arc he made over every single web he slung. His head only faced forward. No funny songs to sing, no witty comments to make to himself. Hell he wasn’t even TALKING to himself, though everyone knows this never last long, as he begins to go over the events of what just transpired in his mind. Seeing the hurt on Ayame’s face. His words. He knew they stung her…but he couldn’t help how he felt. Should he have to? Should kevin have to be held action for someone feeling a certain type of way that he himself didn’t feel? It was no different than his own situation with yumi. Kevin chased her for the longest time in the dephs of his heart, but what does he get in return? A peck on the lips and a “watch my sister for me.’ Disrespectful much? Kevin meerley scoffed at the thought. The fact that maybe, just maybe…his undying love for her should come to a stand still. Kevin was starting to realize he could obtain many other women if he really put his mind to it. look at it. He’d   JUST had sex not to long ago tonight, with an old flame of his.

<p class="MsoNormal">As he swung around one more corner of a building, he’d come to the Sam’s building. It was tall and looming. Had four gargoyles on each corner of the building that all stood and watched over the city with a menacing glare. Any aircraft that flew low at this level would’ve had them in 100% clear view. Kevin perched himself on the end of one and merely stared. The moon was high. It was big and beautiful…Kevin didn’t regret any of the events that transpired tonight with Jayla. So why…why was he feeling like what he told Ayame might have been the WRNOG thing? “Get it together chan. Get it together….” Kevin couldn’t get over it. was he in the wrong? Did he have to be so harsh? In the pit of his mind he knew it was only all honesty…he didin’t have feelings for Ayame. It wasn’t like he didn’t think ab out it. all the things she’d done for him. all the talks…the late nights…the good times. Even without the sex she was a great person just not…not kevins type. Kevin then took a good long look at his and Ayame’s time. “Could it be…” Kevin looked down at his open costumed gloved hands. “Could it be…I’ve been chasing the same woman for over 2 plus years now…I’ve been blind to what I’ve needed all along?” Kevin clenched his fist for a second. “if I just…just stopped thinking about her. for an instance…could I be happier? With…” Kevin shook his head. “No. I’m a hero. A top notch vigilante. I can’t have a signifigant other. Espcially not on the field with me. Where they can be hurt the moment they…” Kevin looked to the side. “or I…make   a mistake.” Kevin stood up. “I’d never put anyone in that position and I don’t intend to. A little nookie every now and again, sure why not, but Web Strider doesn’t get the benefitted perks of a relationship.” Kevin would’ve stood on that gargoyle, and looked over the city for a bit longer. The serene city lights of Los Angeles cooling him down. Giving him a clear head. Time to think. Which at the end of the day was all he really needed. Kevin deep down wasn’t such a bad guy. he’s a sweatheart, but can he convince himself of this is the true question.

<p class="MsoNormal">With sprouted wings, Yumi had taken flight and with a boost of chi and blasts of heat she sped off in to the night at an incredible speed of a jet and with focused blue hues kept straight with her mission in mind…talking to Kevin and getting through to him. Heres hoping anyway. Later through the night New Cali was in sight and she slowed down as to not burn herself out as she sought out his heat signature and finding it within minutes, spotting the costume wearing male upon a roof with gargoyles adorning the corners. He seemed to be brooding? How very unlike Kevin as she lands, smoking and heat radiating off of her as her clothes were slightly singed from the speed she travelled in. Cracking her neck side to side, she made herself known if he hadn’t already taken notice. “Kevin…I’ll cut right to it. My sister called me crying about what you said to her. Normally I’d just listen, give her advice and go back to sleep beside my husband but something struck me with this conversation and I had to come down myself to see what the hell is your problem.” She approached him, uncaring of just who he was because to her? He was just Kevin. She didn’t much care about his big and bad hero title, who he was known as or his vigilante career. “You told Ayame she wasn’t me? Are we STILL on this? It’s been well over 5 years since we broke up.” She began cracking her knuckles and turned to inspect the edge of the roof, licking the side of her cheek while calculating just how high up they were. Her wings vanished and the Halfling started rolling her shoulders while she continued. “I don’t know why Ayame wants to be a hero, personality I think it’s a foolish idea. But I support my sisters ambitions. I respect her choices…the same way I respected how you wanted to live the life of a hero. What I don’t respect is how you treat my sister. If you are going through some life crisis, that’s your business but don’t lead my sister on and bring her down. Don’t squish her dreams and break her heart simply because you want to give yourself the longest pity party known to man.” Walking back over to him she stood there with a rather relaxed stance though one could tell her jaw was clenching with how she tensed it. “It’s me you have a problem with right? So let’s settle this…between us. Because dragging Ayame in this mess is petty. Treating her and using her like you do? Is pissing me off. So let’s go, let it all out because I know you got something to say.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin stood over the city finally. FINALLY he was coming to his answers. Everything. He was thinking about everything and it honestly for the first time in a while put a confident smile on his face. The cause of this being something other than his job. A personal resolution. Though he wiped away a silent tear for whatever reason that may have been, Kevin would’ve sniffled once before he’d have put his hands on his hips and confidently looked and listened for danger. Little did he know it was coming right to him in the form of the ghost of lovers past as he’d so playfully refer to it. Kevin heard the landing and he could smell the smoke…his strider sense went off. “…..” this didn’t please Kevin for reasons to later be spoken. As he turned around he’d see the one that got away. Yumi Xiaofang, or as she’s popularly known, Yumi Royji…. “Kevin…I’ll cut right to it. My sister called me crying about what you said to her. Normally I’d just listen, give her advice and go back to sleep beside my husband but something struck me with this conversation and I had to come down myself to see what the hell is your problem.” “….” Kevin turned to look at her. A pair of glossy golden eyes with raised brows, that showed more of a “really?” type of expression on his face. He had a lot to say, but one thing about Yumi is that she makes it clear she likes to be the first one to get her point across. As she Kevin was going to let her do JUST that. talk

<p class="MsoNormal">“You told Ayame she wasn’t me? Are we STILL on this? It’s been well over 5 years since we broke up.” Kevin heard this and when he did, he’d pinch the bridge of his nose. Everything building up. he’d heard what else she’d said but he personally enacted selective hearing, as he already knew what she cam here about. Ayame totally snitched on him. Great, the sibling that wants to be grown…Kevin merely shook his head and let her finish but something she’d said ran through his head over and over as he formulated a response in his mind. “I don’t know why Ayame wants to be a hero, personality I think it’s a foolish idea. But I support my sisters ambitions. I respect her choices…the same way I respected how you wanted to live the life of a hero.” Kevin inhaled through his nostrils and exhaled the same. He’d raise his head to look at her. she’d walked a little bit closer and when she did Kevin’s tail folded around his waist and kevin laughed a little. It wasn’t the usual kevin laugh where he laughs at a joke in his head or he laughs with you…no this was kevin laughing AT yumi. “Ahhh yumi. How’d I figure the little dragon who wants to be grown so bad would run to her sister the first chance she got. Let alone my ex.” Kevin looked away lamely. “Of all the shit. What’s next my secret ideneity?” Kevin took off   his mask to make sure she could see his face. “You know Yumi. You’re a real piece of work you know that. you sit here and talk like you know exactly what she’s asking for…but you don’t. In fact…you don’t know shit.” This was the first time Kevin had actually cussed at Yumi out of spite. What was going through his head? It was about to be clear. Kevin held up one finger. “First things first. You claim to respect her dream but I’ll say it again. you don’t know shit about this lifestyle. “ kevin pointed to the city. “Know why? Cause you and your hack of a husband live out in the fucking boonies of this country. You don’t live in the city. You don’t know how hard it is for people like me, heroes, and what your sister wants to be. You’re being ignorant and acting like you have an opinon on something when HAHAHA you really don’t.” Kevin gripped his mask. “I risk my neck everyday for this city and any city. Everyone who wears a mask or a cape does. Everyone they know and love is always in danger. What if word got out who she was? Anyone close to her is gone. Me? Same   issue. I don’t have much of a family but I do have people close to me that I see too.” Kevin put a hand on his chest. “If I let her go out there I’M responsible for her because I put her in this lifestyle. Not YOU. YOU won’t feel that pressure, YOU don’t know what it’s like, so YOU don’t have a god damn right to come out here and ACT like you know what the FUCK she is asking to do!” Kevin yelled running a hand through his hair.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes! I told her she wasn’t you, and you know what she’s not? I know how you feel now Yumi!” Kevin raised his hands into the air. “To have someone you don’t share the same feelings for chase you day in and day out! Show you their heart and their soul…having it in the palm of your hands only to have the option to let it go! And you know what you did? You crushed it. you didn’t care. I know you didn’t cause at the end f the day YOU…opened your legs to another man. all that shit Ayame spouts about Xiaofangs being faithful to one man is bullshit when her older sister doesn’t fit the standard. You want a call over her life, why don’t you do your job and get informed on the situation.” Kevin put a hand over his face and shook his head. “You know I was out here tonight thinking about why I liked you so much. Then I thought about how my feelings for you were holding me back. From seeing what a great girl ayame is. To see something I didn’t see. I made…a resolution to talk to you about my feelings. Cut ties on a good end…but then you come at me like this?” his voice got softer. “You’ve never had your heart broken. You don’t know your sisters pain. You don’t know what it’s like…to see what you fought so hard for look you dead in the face and say “I don’t want you.” Kevin looked down. “You don’t know that pain of heartache that comes from knowing the other person will never see you the way you see them. You thought you did but Connor’s an idiot. He’d stick by you even if you didn’t have arms. In some sick twisted way I could pin my heartache and ayame’s on you…but I won’t. cause she loves you…and once upon a time.” Kevin looked a way for a second. “I did too Yumi…I really did. With everything I had. You didn’t respect my choice. You disliked it and went somewhere else to find someone with mutual interest as yourself. Don’t give me that….i’m over you now. “ Kevin didn’t look at her for his next sentence but his fist were balled, and the viens in his muscular arms started to show.

<p class="MsoNormal">“That being said. Let me get something across.” Kevin finally turned to look at her but…could almost taste the anger. The angst in his eyes. “My strider sense went off… when you stepped on this roof. You come up here not to talk. I can see it in your body language. You came up here ready for a fight.” Kevin would’ve stepped to her. something he never thought in a million years he’d do. “I know you. Too much. You and connor are the types who’re quick to hit someone when your tempers flare or you feel threatened. You come up here.” Kevin looked her up and down with a nod. “With your god damn chest puffed out like your ready to swing on me. Me. Kevin chan. Over some shit you hear at first ear and dangers you know shit about. That really lets me know where your heads at Yumi. So I’m going to tell you what I never thought I would in a million years.” Kevin was no more than inches away from the redhead, their eyes…deadlocked. “Leave me alone Yumi. Don’t…ever come to me like you want to fight me. I do not…need that on my conscious when I have to look at your sister everyday and somewhat get along with you for her sake IF we can even do that. I’m not sorry for how I’m feeling or a damn thing I’ve said. But I’m going to fix everything. No I’m not going to put your sisters life in jeperody. If you have a problem with anything I’ve said. “ Kevin would’ve looked her up and down one more time. “Make a move..If not. Get the hell out of my city.” Kevin’s stare on her intense. This is the most assertive he’d been with her their entirety of knowing each other. Tired of holding his tongue and feeling at a disrespect, he held his position. He didn’t want to fight yumi but the way she came off…kevin wasn’t going to be punked down into submission. Maybe 2 years ago before his job got hectic but now? The city doesn’t need a child. It needs a man with a clear heart and mind, and tonight was going to see to the transformation into that man.

<p class="MsoNormal">Yumi stood there, watching Kevin let out a laugh though she was sure there was nothing very humorous of the situation. She didn’t interrupt him, she didn’t scoff or laugh or talk under her breath. No, she listened to every single word, every gesture and comment Kevin chan had to make…and it was a mouth full. Plentiful was what the hero needed to get off his chest and finally when he was done, Yumi merely let out a slow curl of her lips in a dangerous smile. There were plenty of things she could say in return to him….plenty. But the main important thing? Was Ayame and how she felt for this idiot…for some reason she’d fallen for Kevin. Why? Who fucking knows because at the end of the day Yumi didn’t love Kevin like how Ayame probably did, like how Kevin loved her for this long…He accused Yumi of a lot of things and said some rather hurtful words but the Halfling wasn’t the type to get hurt feelings especially when they were said from someone who didn’t hold much value. She cared for Kevin, this was her first love…but five years is enough. Blue hues watched him closely, inspecting his body language and his tone of voice…every little detail and honestly? It was progress how he spoke to her. As if he was done with her shit and how she had treated him even if it was oh so long ago. She could have snapped back at him, told him to stop being such a ‘victim’ that he wasn’t the only one with problems and that pain was universal….She had felt the pain of loss and the pain of Connor leaving her for Kodi even if it was temporary. But she knew the pain of loss…for 50 years she was without Connor. But no, Kevin wanted to act like he was the only one in the world who could EVER feel like this. And she could throw that in his face…poor kevin chan, life must be sooooo hard. But that would get them nowhere. “You chose the life of a hero, Kevin. No one forced you…you don’t owe these people anything and Ayame nor I owe you anything for choosing to be some web slinging vigilante. And if you aren’t careful…the people who actually know you who care about you…the ones who don’t care if you’re web strider or kevin chan will be lost to you. These citizens you risk your life for? They’ll turn on you at the drop of a dime so watch yourself. I don’t need to justify or defend myself in regards to what happened between you and I, Kevin. I don’t love you and I never will. Connor was and is the better man between you two. I won’t apologize for that, it happened…you got hurt. That’s life Kevin. So pick yourself up and move on or continue to drag yourself down. But don’t drag my sister down with you.” She wanted to fight him, she wanted to ram her fist down his arrogant throat and knock him off his high horse but the once tight fist relaxed and rested on her stomach for a moment. “Ayame is a warrior. She was born a warrior and she’ll die one. With or without our blessing, she will become a hero. I don’t care if I don’t know the whole story…and frankly I don’t want to Kevin. Because I don’t care to. I have my own life to worry about but that is still my sister. She is who I care about and I could give two shits about heros or saving the day or risking my neck for this place. You do you, Kevin. But stop victimizing yourself and grow up.” She remembers the comment he made about how its bullshit Ayame is so faithful since Yumi wasn’t and she gestures. “And stop comparing my sister and I, you keep doing that and it’s petty. Get over yourself. I sure have.” Turning around, the urge to fight him was gone as she realized…she felt more sorry for him than anything else. All this time and being a hero had once more weighed heavy on him in his life choices. “Ayame doesn’t need a protector, she needs a partner. It isn’t you against the world, Kevin. The world is big enough for others and the sooner you stop making things complicated the easier it’ll be.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Yumi of a lot of things and said some rather hurtful words but the Halfling wasn’t the type to get hurt feelings especially when they were said from someone who didn’t hold much value. She cared for Kevin, this was her first love…but five years is enough. Blue hues watched him closely, inspecting his body language and his tone of voice…every little detail and honestly? It was progress how he spoke to her. As if he was done with her shit and how she had treated him even if it was oh so long ago. She could have snapped back at him, told him to stop being such a ‘victim’ that he wasn’t the only one with problems and that pain was universal….She had felt the pain of loss and the pain of Connor leaving her for Kodi even if it was temporary. But she knew the pain of loss…for 50 years she was without Connor. But no, Kevin wanted to act like he was the only one in the world who could EVER feel like this. And she could throw that in his face…poor kevin chan, life must be sooooo hard. But that would get them nowhere. “You chose the life of a hero, Kevin. No one forced you…you don’t owe these people anything and Ayame nor I owe you anything for choosing to be some web slinging vigilante. And if you aren’t careful…the people who actually know you who care about you…the ones who don’t care if you’re web strider or kevin chan will be lost to you. These citizens you risk your life for?

But don’t drag my sister down with you.” She wanted to fight him, she wanted to ram her fist down his arrogant throat and knock him off his high horse but the once tight fist relaxed and rested on her stomach for a moment. “Ayame is a warrior. She was born a warrior and she’ll die one. With or without our blessing, she will become a hero. I don’t care if I don’t know the whole story…and frankly I don’t want to Kevin. Because I don’t care to. I have my own life to worry about but that is still my sister.

The world is big enough for others and the sooner you stop making things complicated the easier it’ll be.

<p class="MsoNormal">Kevin listened to everything. Really listened to everything. Everything everyone had told him before. How he didn’t owe these people anything. How she felt about the situation and him as a whole. Hurtful words were said on both side, but as usual Yumi would never let that effect her. She was tough. Overly tough. “You chose the life of a hero, Kevin. No one forced you…you don’t owe these people anything and Ayame nor I owe you anything for choosing to be some web slinging vigilante. And if you aren’t careful…the people who actually know you who care about you…the ones who don’t care if you’re web strider or kevin chan will be lost to you. These citizens you risk your life for? They’ll turn on you at the drop of a dime so watch yourself.” Every vigilante has head this at some point or another in their careers. This same speech…the same song and dance. It’s not like they aren’t right. Kevin knows for a fact he puts everyone he knows in danger just by sheer association with him. It’s kind of way he doesn’t even be “Kevin Chan” anymore. Being Web Strider was easy. Can’t have your loved ones taken form you if no one knows your loved ones. Kevin still hasn’t found his parents, nor has he remotely found anyone in his personal life to care for enough to even garner that kind of response for.

Behind The Curtain
<p class="MsoNormal">She turned away, just like she did before. So did Kevin. Walking back towards the edge of the gargoyle. “You’re right. As usual you are right. Everything you’ve told me is what every vigilante should hear, minus the lie about Connor being better of course. “ Kevin would’ve shot a web towards a building corner. “Everything you told me is what you should tell your sister Yumi. You’re quick to warn me but not her. You’ll let her walk into something big like this and give no fucks, cause you don’t have to. That’s fine. I’m pulling her application. And nothing…” Kevin made sure to put emphasis on “nothing”. “Is going to prevent that. I’ll keep her safe by keeping her away from it all.” Kevin gripped the rope with both hands. “Thanks for the talk. You were a great friend. You’ll make an even better acquaintance. Now get the hell out of my city, and take your sister with you, and make up some of that two year lost time. The further she is form me, the better off she is.”   Kevin would’ve let himself drop and begin his swinging arc again! He’d felt like he’d lost a friend some what…but it was for good reason. She in his own mind was a mental barrier he couldn’t get past or overcome for the longest time until tonight. It was finally over and done with. He was done with Yumi, and even with the negativity…it was a giant weight off of his shoulders. “I feel…lighter.’ Kevin smiled to himself flipping off of his last web line and shouting. “WOOHOO!!!” Letting himself fall a few feet before swinging again. The only thing that would’ve made his night better is whatever happened to ayame. They were sisters, so   they’d definitely talk about this. Maybe she would leave and give Kevin one less worry to concern him about. What ever the case Kevin saw this as a positive turn around, but all that glitters is not gold.

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile….

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Back in the crummy apartment located in the “New Bronx” as most Los Angeles residents dub it, the black strider would’ve taken refuge and returned to his shitty rinky dink apartment. Walking inside the dark apartment, he’d take off his mask and sit it on the counter. The apartment had no furniture. No furnishings. Nothing at all of the sort. He simply tossed his trench coat to the side, onto the floor and merely sat down underneath the window. Resting his arms on his bent knees and leaning his head down, closing his eyes. He let his mind wonder and fade into the dreams of the ether. Knowing tomorrow one of his biggest task was at hand…the murder of the United Nations members.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Back At Heroes Reprieve.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Densuke would’ve been sitting at his office desk returning from his united nations meeting. Sitting in his office, with his hands folded up, and leaning his forehead against them. he was stressed…undoubtedly stressed. His eyes closed, and paper work piled up. He and his son Leon worked day and night to try and present a case against the Omega Gene Registration act. He didn’t want this to pass…”The united nations is trying to tell me I’m doing the same thing…but I’m not forcing people by telling them how to do their jobs. I’m giving them tools to DO their jobs…” Densuke would’ve sighed, his hair in a pony tail and him pinching the bridge of his nose. “There’s something bigger here…bigger than me. Dammit Kin…..” Densuke was aware that it was “Nik” or Kin Tasanagi who was the one who set up these chain of events that lead to this. Him alone was the catalyst. He’d push a button on the phone in his office to call his trusty right hand, Jade Fierce, up to his office. “Jade, could you please come up to the my office please.”   Densuke would’ve leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He couldn’t sleep. He hadn’t been sleeping for weeks on end and it was getting to him. Beginning to kill him. Beginning to tear him apart inside…it wasn’t a feeling he was new to, but it wasn’t exactly something he liked experiencing. Not when he didn’t have to, not when there wasn’t a requirement to do so.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You’ll make an even better acquaintance.” Whatever it took to finally have Kevin MOVE the hell on from her. She was willing to try anything even if it meant losing him as a friend so be it. She cared for him and if this helped him then she would not hinder him or say anything else on the subject. She didn’t want Ayame to become a hero…this life was so complicated and was not worth the drama but Ayame was grown and on top of that? A warrior. Here on Earth, she suggested to her sister to join the army. Lion corp even…but she refused and said she’d do better as a hero. Yumi could respect that but she knew how hard it was for these heros to balance a social life without losing themselves. Kevin was a prime example of what this hero business had done to him. Leon? Don’t even get her started on him…Kevin had no right to stop Ayame just as Yumi didn’t either. Those two needed to do some soul searching before they could even attempt at loving someone else and though she loved Kevin, she really didn’t think he was right for her sister. Not yet anyway. He still had some growing up to do before he was suitable but who knows…maybe this was the first stepping stone to adulthood for him. Finally getting over his ex girlfriend. “Convincing Ayame to leave is going to get….rather messy.” Rubbing her chin she merely gave out a sigh and watched on as Kevin swung away. She knew she wouldn’t hear the last of this issue…she didn’t want to be involved! They were both GROWN and Yumi honestly should not have had to come down here to settle this crap but she knew full well she’d be back. Sprouting out her wings, she’d go off in search of her sister. Should be fun…

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, Jade Fierce had been spending most of her night in the gym. Wearing tight shorts that reached just below that firm ass and a cut off tank that covered the goods, she squeezed her fingers together as the gloves tightened around them. She was letting off steam with whats been going on with the legislation in the form of pummeling the hell out of a punching bag with left and right hooks, toned muscles flexing with every strike to the training equipment as beads of sweat flinched right off creamy green flesh. She hadn’t been able to shake off this eerie feeling that something terrible was headed their way. Heros Inc would be facing some obstacles that was for sure…after her work out, she hit the showers and got dressed in a somewhat formal attire of a name brand dress that hugged her upper torso before flowing out in to a skirt around full hips all the way down to just above her knees with a fashionable belt hugging her waist. Wearing black flats and see thorugh stockings, she as always kept a professional yet sexy image as she was one of the many faces of Heros Incs attorneys. With a pipping hot cup of tea in one hand she sat down at her desk while going through a file with intense green hues scanning the small font letters. Her hair was up in a messy pony tail with curly bangs resting comfortably on an oval shaped face. “This is ridiculous…” Suddenly the speaker on her phone turned on as Densuke asked for her and not a moment too soon as she placed the file down and rose up to walk past the impressive mahogany office door and enter his office with the cup in hand only to place it in front of him. “Drink. It’s green tea, your favorite kind and your favorite color.” She winked at him playfully before taking one of the many files piling up on his desk to skim over the thousands of letters that only further told her what she already knew. “They’ve certainly tied your hands haven’t they?” It didn’t take a doctor to see just how much this was wearing Densuke down and the green beauty was worried for the Incs leader. Sitting on the edge of the desk, she put the paper work down and turned to him with a small frown. “You look like hell. I take it the united nations aren’t going to bend…?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Densuke took another sip of the tea, shaking his head. “Saddly no…their so advent on putting his bill mainstay. It’s already in effect, but I couldn’t even talk them into making it temporary. I’m bound by legal alligations to…support the act. Even if it’s against my best wishes. See this was one of my biggest fears when I first started this company. That the government would step in and tell me how to do my job, or when to do it.” He took another sip sitting the cup down. “I’ve got my own son, one of the best lawyers in the country, working double time to try and appeal for anything.” Densuke lowered his hands and let them rest on the desk. “It just…really looks like the country doesn’t trust us anymore. puts a bad taste in my mouth I have to remotely fake like this is a good idea…”He sighed. “I’ve always been aware of the usually high activity brought upon in the city that started with my own damn son Connor fighting Kin in the middle of the street for everyone to see. I thought nothing of it then. Stuff like this happened in Kasaihana so often, you wouldn’t think twice of it. Then kin goes and gets himself mind controlled and destroys not a city but an entire countries civilization…if it wasn’t for us, everyone would’ve been dead, and I don’t even want to think about what could’ve happened to the people we missed….”   Densuke would’ve put a hand over his mouth before remembering the reason he called jade in here. Snapping his fingers he’d continue. “Which brings me to why I called you. I suspect foul play here….” Densuke would’ve leaned forward   a bit towards her. “the president Yani Farhan. I know first hand how much of a scumbag he is. For some reason, he hasn’t signed the bill yet. Why that is I don’t know, but I know he always has an agenda or a reason. If he was so advent on this, the bill should’ve been passed. With his connections, he wouldn’t even need a vote…I can’t help but feel like there’s a third party at play. Another player in the game that’s halting the bills progress. The question is why. Why would there be someone out there who’d need something like this halted. If you put the heroes and high tier omega gene users out of commission you’ve increased the crime rate by that much…so why stop it. See how that doesn’t make sense?…so I need your help with something I know I can only trust you with.” Densuke would’ve stood up, and walked over towards his closet, punching in a code, and the plain jane wall would’ve turned and began to convert itself into what looked like a wall with various weapons and weaponry alike. Gadgets, gizmos, and toys abroad for secret agent type deals. “We’re gonna stage a coup de grace. To do this I need you to agree to something before I tell you anything else…” Densuke would’ve gun packing things inside of his bag before turning to look at her. “I need you to turn me into the authorities as soon as humanly possible.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Jade watched him speak on the meeting with the UN and as she suspected, it wasn’t good. Nothing had changed and Densuke spoke of the concerns in regards to what was taking President Yani so long to pass the act already. Turning her head when he gets up to open up the hidden room and start packing things in there, she listened closely. “Not just that! Something really fishy is going on around here…Devastation has been spotted on many instances around the city looking for Web Strider. Things aren’t looking well for the web slinger ever since these murders started happening…it’s all suspicious. Everything coming down at one time these things have to be connected.“ Suddenly something clicked and she hopped off the desk, approaching him with a very obvious frown. “You know you can trust me with anything, Densuke.” He was beginning to worry her further with what he was packing and she listened closely to him. “I need you to turn me into the authorities as soon as humanly possible.” At this she said nothing, walking up to him and placing a firm hand over the one currently packing to stop him if only for a moment. Her hand reaches up to turn his head to face her as she stares somewhat down at the slightly shorter male. “I don’t know exactly what your plan is but I can tell you I don’t like it. I won’t do something like that, we need you the most here! Whatever crazy idea you have it must be a last hail mary to even tell ME to do that.” Things had been rather difficult as of late…thanks to Nik or Kin or who ever the hell he was this month. Heros Inc had taken a greater hit and practically handed themselves over to President Yani to do as he wished. The government was once more sticking their hands in to something they could not control…the whole point of being heros is to not have to be run by the law! Sure they were not above it, they were a beacon of justice! But without the hindrance of needing to follow the rules like police officers or government soldiers they did more good than any other type of justice system could but now…they were being punished for being different. Fear was the biggest factor hear and the media…put the two together and it was a field day! The once faithful citizens of New Cali and even in New nexus Florida were beginning to second guess the brave heros of Heros inc and wonder if they were doing more bad than good. It was just human nature to be scared especially when you turned on the T.v and the media fed everyone lies and caused a panic. Densuke was needed here! She knew the stress was getting to him and that maybe he’d lost his marbles! “What…is it exactly you plan on doing behind bars?”
