Violet Spider - A Tribute
The android that stalked her didn't have a name. He wasn't a villain with grand plans of his own, but a force of nature with a purpose. She had crossed the line with his architect and gotten in the way far too much. She was a hindrance and she was to be subdued or destroyed, or he suffer being decommissioned himself for his failure. The equation was an simple one.
Autumn on the other hand was confident and lively, happy to get in the way of those plans all in the name of Violet Spider. She wasn't as famous (or infamous) as Peter Parker, or Spiderman rather but Chicago was her turf and she would watch over it just he like did with his own city. She would prove herself, even if she was a rookie. He was too at one point!
The android had setup a trap in a warehouse and the organization setup a fake tip over the police radio - but it was promptly ignored over a riot that was ongoing downtown. But that was okay, Violet Spider had this covered. She swooped down from the rooftops overlooking the industrial park and landed gracefully near the skylight.
Her mesh body suit clung to her like paint, stretching over her silhouette like silk from her neck all the way down to the tips of her toes. A mesh mask was pulled over her face, much like Spiderman and her hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail. She took a deep breath, then another and psyched herself up for another foray into fighting crime. She still had that nervous knot in her stomach even though she'd been successful at putting down petty criminals, but many times she was not. She still managed to get out with minimal scrapes but some of them were close calls.
Violet Spider grinned to herself and knelt down over the window into the dim warehouse. She placed her hand on the glass and pushed in until she felt it creak open. Her palm felt cold through the thin mesh, and she felt the gravel of the roof nip at her knee and the bottoms of her feet through the thin mesh there as well. The costume was a bit less protective than Parker's but she could sense and feel everything! It was such a rush.
Inside the warehouse was quiet and still. There was no sign of the reported criminal mischief but she was damn sure she had the right address. Maybe the sinister deeds were more subtle and she'd have to get a closer look. Her eyes darted around searching the dark for movement but eventually she resigned herself and slipped gracefully inside. Violet Spider landed with a hushed fall, one arm outstretched for balance. Her senses felt the air around her but it was eerily calm.
Emergency lights were flickering near the exits to the building and the moonlight drifted in from above, giving a nice halo of light to form their arena. She heard him then, the dull thud of heavy boots and the grind of metal.
"Who the hell are you?" she teased. He was a new one, she hadn't seen him before.
The figure stepped forward out of the shadows and tilted his head soundlessly to the side. There was a metal mask and just enough clothing to hide what he was, but he was clearly not human. She had a suspicion this was a trap, and she couldn't be more right.
After a long silence, Violet Spider realized she wasn't going to get an answer. Her confidence faltered for a moment as he stood there quietly - patiently. "If you think you scare me, you can forget it. I've handled worse!" Nope. This was new.
The android lowered himself into a combat stance and held one armored arm extended in front of him. It was an invitation from him to play, and for Violet Spider it was her chance to prove herself. She could send that broken mask of his to Parker and show she wasn't just a rookie anymore.
"Hyaaaaah!" she cried out and shot her webs to pull her towards her foe. She felt the chilly, night air rush in her ears as she soared through the air, before she tethered her webs to a pillar and circled around him to attack from behind. He hadn't changed his stance, he just waited while she did her theatrics. That bastard, she thought.
Violet Spider swung through the air and kicked out with her shapely leg to land a blow into his side, but he blocked it and drove an iron fist into her gut. She felt the wind shoved out of her and she recoiled back into the air to land with a crouch. "O-oh... shit he is fast," she gasped. She may have been a rookie but she was resilient. Violet Spider flipped into the air and bounded off the steel beam that was to her right before she shot a spray of webbing right into his eyes.
The android jerked his head left and right, his visual sensors impaired but he could still hear and sense her in every other way. The girl used this opportunity to launch a counterattack and take him down quickly. Her armored foe stood up straight and waited for her impending blow and it came at his side. Both feet crashed into his torso and drove him back, but then she felt an iron grip on her ankle preventing her from doubling back to prepare for another strike.
"W-wha?" she managed to cry out before she felt the air rush by her and she was slammed into the ground. She braced her arms across her front to shield herself from the blow, but it hurt all the same. The cement floor cracked and she felt her vision flash white for a moment before her senses returned to her. When they did, she realized she was airborne again and had been thrown across the room into another pillar. A sharp pain at her back let her know she had reached her destination, and she crumbled to the ground as her head spun.
"D-damn... y-you're... really annoying, you know t-that?" she spat. He didn't respond, he just looked at her from across the room almost as if he were mocking her. That was how she perceived it, at least. Her ego was getting the better of her and the adrenaline was pumping through her veins. Violet Spider broke out into a superhuman run towards her target and at the last moment before his arms grasped around her chest in a bearhug, she dropped to her knees and narrowly slid between his legs.
There was a spray of webbing when he spun around to meet her only for him to find both arms webbed to the ground on either side of him. She felt victorious as he pulled and tried to free both arms but her webbing was too strong. She thought it was at least, but he proved her wrong when he paused, then focused powered to both extremities and ripped free.
"Well, I guess that didn't work," she sighed in exasperation.
Violet Spider used her web slinger to launch herself back into the air and she just about reached the overhead walkway when she felt a snare grasp around her ankle. Her ascent was suddenly halted and she was pulled straight back down into the cement floor. She cried out and braced herself for impact and then landed hard on her left knee. The ground started moving underneath her as the tether contracted back towards the wrist mount on her foes arm and suddenly she was lifted upside down - suspended by her slim ankle in his solid grip.
"W-wha-" she began to say before she felt the first blow punch into her chest. Violet Spider arched backward from the momentum of the punch and before she could fully recover, the next one landed. Then the next one, and another. Each blow cracked into her beautiful frame in a different place, each one hurting more than the last. She tried to cry out from the pain but each yelp was cut short as the next blow collided into her. A series of punches slammed into her crotch, one after another and then two more in each breast.
His prey hung in his grip like tenderized meat, the fight temporarily beaten out of Violet Spider but she was healing fast. She could feel the sweat saturating her mesh suit, making it feel sticky to her body and tighter than before. Several rips had formed at her shoulders and one at her knee, but it still held fast to her form to cover her modesty. For now.
"Go to hell!" she cried out as her free leg lashed around against him, but the blow was absorbed by his metal frame. Another blow to his shoulder and then one to his head, but they seemed to hurt her more than it hurt him. Her foot throbbed and her shin stung from the force she put behind those kicks and he just looked at her as if he were just getting started. The webbing at his eyes has started to wear away and he could see her more clearly now.
Violet Spider gasped in pain when she felt a cracking blow land at her chest. Her world temporarily spun with that one as it nailed her in the solar plexus. The android dropped her to the floor dismissively like she was no longer a threat. She definitely wasn't at least for the moment. Violet Spider demurely curled her legs inward and tried to drag herself away, but the throbbing pain in her stomach rendered her ineffective at even that. Her suit was dirty now, dust clinging to the mesh material on all sides of her. The purple and black material had a spattering of gray all over her. The rip at her knee now extended up to her thigh.
The android watched her before his eyes flashed with recognition. If she had suspected anything of it, she would think he received a command from his controller, but she was far too distracted to notice. Her feeble escape was halted when he gripped the leg of her suit and pulled forcefully. The air around her leg suddenly felt cold when the suit was split apart at the seams and tore away from her. From her hip all the way to her foot, she was exposed and bare.
Violet Spider rolled onto her back and looked up at him in confusion. "W-what... are you doing?" she squeaked, but his metal grip found her again and this time tore away the arm of her suit. Her entire shoulder, down to her delicate hand was now bare as well - this time on the opposite side. She turned and her struggle to crawl away renewed. Her energy was coming back to her. She almost put enough distance between them before she felt a fist drive down into her spine and flatten her to the ground.
"Ghkk!!" she choked. Another blow brought forth a yelp from her full lips and a final hit to the small of her back made her arch painfully. "Guh...hhkkk!!"
Another flicker of light in his eyes and he registered another command. The reveal.
The android gripped a handful of material at the back of her head and tore the mask free. Her ponytail fell free and the look of surprise on her face was no longer obscured. He looked her in the eyes and after a moment, got a read on her identity. Autumn. Mid-twenties, female, athletic. A nobody. How unexciting.
Violet Spider felt her hair gripped firmly and her face was driven into the floor with relentless aggression. The cement rushed up to meet her and she heard the crack before she felt it. Pain blossomed across her face before the rush of air and another blow reintroduced her to the cement again. He didn't stop there, but she lost count of how many times he smashed her into the floor before everything started to blur together. She felt the world go end over end and she hit the ground after she was thrown across the room.
There was no fear of her escaping, her stamina was zeroed out. The android only held back at the request of his controller. Her body was drenched in sweat and ran down her bare leg. When her senses slowly began to return to her, she realized her other sleeve had been torn away - this time it tore enough to expose part of her breast.
Autumn swallowed and held the side of her head, trying to get herself back into the here and now to fight back - or at least make a getaway. As her double vision faded she realized she was too late. The android grasped the front of her mesh suit and lifted her into the air like she was a toy. He adjusted his grip until both arms were wrapped around her waist and then they started to grind together and constrict. The android slowly lifted her from the ground until her feet could no longer feel the cement. Her suit still covered one leg, but left the other one bare in its entirety. The sole of her foot was discolored from the dust of the cement and her toes came to a point as the panic set in.
"N-no... s-stop that... please," she whimpered when the sharp pressure closed in on her. Violet Spider could hear the metallic fibers of muscle in his arms tense and contract together around her and she knew she was a prisoner and completely at his mercy. "Please... I give up - I'll never interfere with your stuff again - p-please!" she choked out in desperation.
The android wasn't listening. His arms tightened further around her and she felt true fear well up inside. "N-nonono..." she whimpered again. Crck. She felt a sharp pain radiate from her spine, then another dull crack made her arch back painfully. "O-OH F-FUCK!" she screamed, before another crack made her body spasm violently. Her legs fluttered wildly and her hands slapped and pushed at his shoulders, but the android was an unstoppable force.
The pressure tightened and constricted, further and further while each of her whimpers rolled into another pained gasp. Her resilient body could take quite a bit of punishment but it was nearing the threshold of being too much for her. Another crack. Her eyes went wide and her legs stiffened and went taut from the shooting pain.
The android tilted his head to the side and stared coldly at her. Their gaze met and locked. Her eyes were filled with panic and desperation, each second more painful than the last. Just as his arms were about to constrict and finish her - there was a flicker of light in his eyes and another command was registered. The arms that imprisoned her and threatened to end her superheroine career suddenly showed mercy.
Violet Spider found herself dropped to the floor in a wet, dirty mess and she gasped loudly. Her chest heaved in what was left of her suit and she was almost delirious with relief when she could still feel her legs. She felt her toes curl and was glad she wouldn't spend the rest of her days crippled or worse. But the relief was short-lived and she remembered where she was and what she was up against.
The android still had his directives and she wasn't going to just get away. Her worries were answered when she was greeted with his metal fist slamming straight into her head. The cement crushed and splintered under the momentum of the blow. Violet Spider arched her back and her legs kicked up vertically from the decisive blow and when he pulled back - she was out.
The android surveyed her vitals, there was a faint pulse but no movement. Unconscious. His view of her zoomed in and let his controller see her closely. Her eyes were rolled back into her head, saliva coated her lips and her hair was matted with sweat. The suit stretched across her torso and down between her legs to cover just the length of the one leg.
Time to deliver, his directive ordered. The android gripped the front of her suit and lifted her up like a discarded object. The mesh strained and ripped, pulling up from her chest like webbing and leaving her sides completely exposed - and that was how he carried her away.
Still a rookie.
