Chapter 24

[Gwen's pov]

I quickly made my way through the city swinging from buildings to buildings, following the way Arnny showed.

'Sighhh, he need to think of a better name for her, I almost feel bad just calling her Arnny I feel like I'm bullying her' I thought as I arrived at my destination.

Peering over the ledge of the rooftop I look over the entrance of the base of the so called "Crimson Ogres". Can't say I'm impressed, I thought with a name Crimson Ogres the place would appear to be grand or something terrifying.

'I better not waste time, I don't know when Peter might need my help' I dropped from the building where I was watching everything and landed while doing a 'Superhero Pose' as Peter likes to call it. 'I swear he's too obsessed with the whole superhero part of being a hero' I thought as I walked to the front of the building.

I just kicked the door opened and as I walked inside the base I froze while looking around... seriously? they're all wearing green? I know Peter said that having a brand is important but is it so important that they would throw away their fashion sense out the window.

In order to break the stunned silence I do what my lovely boyfriend does best, throw quips around and break the tension

"Green masks? Looks like St. Patrick's Day came early for this gang! But sorry, fellas, no luck of the Irish can save you from Ghost-Spider's webs."

"What? Who the hell is this chick?" One of them asks

"Ghost-spider's the name don't wear it out" I said

The guys just waved me off like I was nothing "Just go away little lady this isn't a place for someone like you"

I didn't say anything else, I just fired my web towards him and pulled him closer which surprised everyone. When he got close I grabbed him by the face and slammed him on the floor. I webbed him up just to be sure he wouldn't be getting up.

Seeing what I did they came out of their shock and aimed their guns in my direction. Without hesitation they started to fire, I shot a web towards the ceiling and pulled myself away from their line of fire.

Once I was on the ceiling I fired webs to the ground and In between one of the goons. I pulled myself off from the ceiling and shot forward where I proceeded to kick him in the middle of the stomach, knocking the air out of him and sending him flying back crashing into the other members

Do to one of them crashing into each other the gun which they were shooting started firing everywhere making some of them crouch so they wouldn't get hit.

The ones that crashed into each other fell to the ground, which gave me the perfect opportunity to fire a web at them holding them in place.

While I was dodging the bullets I notice one of the guys took out a knife and crouched down near the webbed up goons.

'Oh no, they're trying to free the other members. If they get freed then it would have all been for nothing and they re-join the fight'

I fired a web towards the guy but it looked like they were expecting that to happened as soon as my web landed on the guy, two goons went and took a hold of it and pulled me with all their strength towards their direction.

Due to the unexpected pull I didn't let go of the web, when I got close one of the goons that pulled on the web punched me right on the face, causing me to let go of the web I was holding on to and drop to the floor.

"Argh" I cried out in pain as I held my face while on the floor. While I was on the floor still reeling from the pain my Spidey-Senses went off, I quickly jump from where I was standing with a back flip.

Multiple shots appeared where I was laying down, while still holding my face i said "That better not leave a mark, if I go around tomorrow with a black eye people are going to start asking questions and assume the worst"

"Like you'll make it out alive to go to school girly, the day you decided to mess with the Crimson Ogres is the day you signed your death warrant" said one of the goons while taking aim once more and firing.

Seeing this I decided that it was for the best if I turned invisible. Which apparently freaked out some of them. "What kind of weirdo are you!"

I didn't answer as I didn't want to blow my cover and position but one by one I started taking them down they all then started shooting randomly.

But while taking them down I started getting tired, before this I stopped a car police chase and before now I'm fighting for a long time while being invisible, It's taking a toll on my stamina.

The goons then started shooting all over the place trying to at least hit me but couldn't and so thanks to that I was able to quickly subdue everyone.

I put my hands on knees and started catching my breath. While I was waiting to recover my stamina, the door at the back of the room opened and out came a large tall muscular man wearing a red ogre mask.

(Picture )

Next to him was a tall well built looking guy wearing a blue ogre mask.

"Well look who decided to come to the costume party" I quip.

"So you did this huh, I can't say I'm not impressed. You certainly got skills to be able to take down my men" said the guy wearing the Crimson mask, who is probably Henrick Schmidt the leader of the gang

He then continued "Why don't I make you an offer, join my gang, become a member and I don't kill you right here and now for messing things in my turf"

"Are you trying to court me? I can't see I'm not flattered but you aren't really my type and I'm already in a happy relationship. So sorry if I hurt your feelings but the answer is no"

Henrick didn't say anything and but the guy in blue just shook his head in disappointment "you should have taken his offer, I was the same as you, I let my pride get in the way and picked a fight with the boss, let's just say that since you are seeing where I'm standing you can already guess what happened"

Henrick didn't say anything and came running towards me which took me by surprise, I was planning on getting them talking some more to catch my breath but it looks like I'm still fighting.

With a sigh I ran towards him and tried to kick him at the side of his head but he just blocked it with the side of his hand. 'It feels like metal, shit, he's wearing metal gauntlets' I thought.

I tried to kick him in the stomach but he blocked it with a palm. When I tried to take my foot away it was too late, he took a hold of my leg and lifted me up and slammed me back in the ground. Knocking the air out of me.

Wheezing I tried to get back up but he was already infront of me. My Spidey-Senses tried to warn me of the danger but it was too late i couldn't move in time.

Henrick used the metal gauntlets and punched me in the face disorienting me all I could her him say was.

"You got good techniques and power I'll give you that but you don't have any experience being in a real fight"

I tried to web his gauntlets to take them off but he just rotated his hand rolling up the webs and pulled me closer where he proceeded to headbutt me in the face. Causing blood to drip down my face and into the mask. 'This isn't good' I thought

While still in pain I went kicked him in the chest which pushed him back a bit I then continued punching and kicking him, some landed successfully but some he managed to block

I went to try and punch him in the face but he grabbed my fist, I then tried and punch him with my other fist but he took a hold of that one as well.

Before I could kick him a gun shot was heard which was followed by pain assaulting my legs. "ARGH" I screamed as I was almost brought to my knees but that wasn't the only one.

Multiple shoots were heard, the suit couldn't suffer more abuse which the bullets tore through and hit me in the legs, stomach and arms.

I turned to look who it was and it was the guy wearing the blue mask. Before I could say anything else. Henrick smashed his head onto me, knocking me unconscious. I kept coming in and out of consciousness I tried to get up but the pain was too much.

I could just lay on the floor slowly losing consciousness...'Peter, please help me...' is all I could think with tears running down my face.

While I kept coming in and out of consciousness, I saw the guy with the blue mask point his gun at my head and said "You should have taken his offer" and shot his gun.

*Bang*

'Nooooooo'

Everything then went dark...

[Third Person's PoV]

When the blue ogre shot his bullet towards Gwen's head, a cold wind blasted off from her body.

It was so cold it made both Henrick and the blue ogre back up in wonder. The bullet that should have gone right through her head was now wedge in the ice that formed all over Gwen's body.

As a defense mechanism Gwen's body incased itself in ice to keep itself alive. Preventing her wounds from bleeding out further and stopping the bullet from reaching her head.

The blue ogre in shock went and tried to fire more bullets but they would just bounce off the ice that formed.

"What should we do now boss" asked the blue Ogre

"Go get a flame thrower or a rocket launcher and fire it at her. That should be more than enough to kill her, no matter how much ice forms In her body"

"Right boss" the blue guy said as he went and got what he needed.
