League of Marvel

I don't remember much about my life before my adolescence, and what I do, well...What I do remember I would prefer to forget

One of the things I would definitely like to forget would be that day on the bridge, the day our parents died

or rather, the day the Watchers killed them and many other people

Before that I didn't even know their names, since, well, I only called them mom and dad, it was only a few years after the bridge that out of mere curiosity, I approached Vander who was cutting some vegetables with his claws, What were our parents called

Ben and May

Those were their Names, Ben and May. I would love to have gotten to know them better, I remember that before they went to the bridge, Powder had asked them, or rather begged them not to leave us, not to go, to stay with us

I wish they had listened to her

When I turned 13, I started venturing out of the bar more, sometimes, very rarely, I went to the bridge to look at the pictures of my parents and many others who died

But most of the time I left quickly because the guards, the idiots who are dressed in blue and red with a star, tended to view me with suspicion, so I left to avoid causing trouble

On one of my walks ending near the River, I sat there for hours thinking about everything, about how the vigilantes treated everyone in the suburban district, or about those two new kids named Mylo and Claggor that Vander had recently brought home, and like Mylo and Powder didn't like each other very much, when suddenly...

I felt a sharp sting in my hand, I instinctively hit my palm there, when I removed it I saw that what had bitten me was a spider, a very strange spider

But the strangest thing was the bruise he had left on my palm that became more and more inflamed

I immediately started to feel a little dizzy and tired, so I decided to head home

When I returned I barely greeted anyone, I washed my hand with some water and decided it would be a good idea to take a nap. That was a rather heavy night, I would wake up from anything including the simple buzz of a fly or Claggor's snoring

In the morning I felt better, but Vander immediately made me notice something new

I was a lot taller now, about 3 or 4 centimeters bigger, but as if my overnight growth spurt wasn't weird enough

I started sweating a lot. I remembered that Vander had told me that when I grew up my body would start to change, things like menstruation and all that, I think it was called puberty or something like that.Even the voice in my head was louder

Deciding that what I needed would be some fresh air, I got out of there, and that's when I stopped sweating and my head stopped buzzing, it felt almost like little needles were pricking me. While I was walking I bumped into some guys, a little taller than me, immediately the leader, or at least the most idiotic of them, told me that you noticed me, I immediately walked away because the last thing I wanted was problems

But suddenly my hand got stuck in that guy's shirt, I tried to let it go but it was almost like it was stuck, the guy pushed me to let it go, and well, you could say that I... Eh... I rip off his shirt. He clearly wasn't amused by that, so he attacked me, it was at that moment that the little sting I felt at the last drop came back, which helped me dodge him

The fight didn't take long to start and it just so happened that that boy was a mutant, a mutant with the power to change his appearance, so he became a person bigger than me. Although that didn't help him much, since with a single blow he managed to knock him out and knock out his tooth. Since our fight was not discreet enough we brought in a lot of unwanted and very amazed public. So I left there very confused and a little scared

When I was away, I tried to figure it all out, could I be a mutant? Vander never mentioned that my parents were, and if she were a mutant... would that mean that Powder could also be a mutant? But it was then that I remembered the spider that bit me the day before, and how many of the spiders I had seen stuck to walls easily, and I remembered that my hand had gotten stuck to the shapeshifter's shirt

AS. A. SPIDER

So I decided to try, I put my two hands on a wall, then my two feet, and seeing that I wasn't falling, I started climbing until I reached the top. I had never felt so alive in my life, and the best thing was when I discovered that He could pull out nets by his fingertips. When I finished I landed on a roof, but I hadn't realized that there were people present, but when they turned to see me, they immediately went back to what they were doing

I didn't understand why, I mean, it was a girl with pink hair who had come swinging with nets and landed on the roof. That's when it hit me. It was invisible. I had become invisible and no one could see me, suddenly all this was too much, so I decided to go home with vander

I explained everything to him, the sweat, my height, the fight, with the shapeshifter, the super strength, the nets, the invisibility and the sting, which I decided to call the spider sense. I asked him if he thought he was a mutant, Vander didn't think he was, his mutation had been activated when he was a little younger than me, and it was due to a traumatic experience, which was the way mutants had powers. o When they were bigger. I saw him pause and think about something

Whatever it was, he immediately returned to the conversation, he said that if me and Powder were mutants, our powers would have been activated that day on the bridge. I told him about the spider, which made more sense to him. I spent the next few days with Vander finding ways to control my powers, especially the super strength part, since the last thing I wanted was to make someone's head explode

After my training was finished, Vander made me promise that I would be careful and responsible when using my powers, and that under NO circumstances would I use my powers to confront the vigilantes or anyone in Manhattan

That was last, it was the hardest thing to promise, but in the end I managed to promise...*sigh* obviously I was stupid and young, stupid especially

So for the next few months I dedicated myself to stealing from large gangs and some things that seemed of great value. What I used to do most was get into fights, obviously I always won. Nobody messed with me, nor anyone in my family, whenever they saw me or gave me what they had, or ended up unconscious. Everyone respected me and feared me, and I liked that. When I turned fifteen I decided to go for something bigger, stop stealing from minor gang members and go for the rich people of Manhattan

My first victim was a store with very nice things, but before that I decided that I was going to need something to wear. Before when I carried out my robberies I used to only go with a hood, and it didn't even cover my entire face. So I bought some fabrics and decided to make a suit, since what gave me my powers was a spider I decided that that would be my logo, I decided I was going to use black but in the end I added pink because of my hair color. When I had it ready, I decided that what I needed now was a name

Spiderrobber was my first choice, then there was Spider-woman. But in the end I went with the name ghost spider. When I had everything ready, the next thing I did was the robbery, it was actually very easy, I managed to go unnoticed by the guards and the thieves. When I finished the first thing I did was sell the things I stole, and in exchange they gave me a good amount of money. The follow mese were amazing, every time someone in zaun saw me, they either gave me whatever they had or I ended up beaten

The funniest thing of all was seeing the poor security guards trying to catch me or find out who I really was. And my thefts helped me and my brothers. Whenever I could, I bought Powder some clothes or some toys, or sometimes I invited the four of them to eat

Eventually, my brothers discovered where I got so much money, and also my powers, Claggor was totally surprised, Mylo kept saying that he also wanted spider powers. And Powder... She got a little angry with me because I didn't tell her anything about my powers, I immediately apologized to her and she accepted my apology

But of course, they asked me that now I should take them to steal things in Piltover, at first I wasn't very convinced, since I did it perfectly on my own

But after a little blackmail from the 3 of them to tell Vander about my little job (although something inside me told me that he already knew it, but that he was secretly proud of me) so I accepted. It turns out that getting help was a good idea, since Mylo was very good with locks, since I used to break it or tear out the doors or windows, so that also helped more to go unnoticed

Claggor was better at identifying things of value than me, since I put in everything that shines or looked valuable, so that helped more with getting things that were worth a lot. Powder... Her.... Umm... It was. ...Oh screw it, it's not like she's hearing me, at least not anymore. Powder wasn't cut out for that kind of work, at least not at her age. I remember one day when she made a ball fall down where a few security guards were conveniently passing, and when they saw me there, the criminal number and the so-called "threat" well, I had to flee with the 3 of them climbing on me until they reached the end

but the truth was I couldn't blame her. I was fifteen and I had superpowers. She was twelve and had nothing, or well, not exactly. I'm sure that if she had grown up she would have been an inventor, maybe she would have even been able to get to Piltover Academy, she always had ideas about all kinds of weapons, at that time she had these things which she called "pumpkin bombs"

La idea era que estas explotasen con brillo rosa y salieran clavos. Pero al menos ninguna de sus bombas pudo funcionar, al menos no hasta....

Until the day came when everything would change, not only for Me, but for everyone in Zaun

It was a normal day at the benzo store, the four of them along with ekko, benzo's son, who when he was ten had suffered an accident that had left him blind, he and powder got along quite well, and well, ekko was not very discreet. We were playing a game that Powder had asked me to do. It was a normal afternoon until Ekko mentioned that a piltover guy had come to the store that same morning and bought a few things. It didn't catch my attention until Ekko mentioned that he had paid with gold

I immediately left the game and my attention turned to that and I asked Ekko to tell me everything, he told me that after he had left he had followed him, I don't know how, since he was blind, but I didn't ask. He said that the place he had arrived belonged to one of the large families of Piltover, it was at that moment that I completely abandoned the game and asked him to take me there. When we arrived I almost drooled, as I had said, the place where the apartment was was very beautiful and even more so the building, and if that's what the apartment was like on the outside... Who knows what it would be like on the inside, or what it could have inside

So that's when I started planning everything, when we would go and how we would do it. When the big day arrived, the four of us were ready, but both mylo and claggor were a little... Disagreeing about taking powder, but I assured him that I was ready for this. It wasn't very difficult to get there, I could jump the space between buildings, and Mylo and Claggor managed quite well getting between the buildings, the one who sometimes needed help was Powder, but it wasn't a big deal

When we arrived it seemed amazing to me, there were many things of great value, I never knew who it belonged to, but from what it looked like and from the strange artifacts, it seemed that it belonged to an inventor. Things went well for the first few minutes, until I heard the jingling of keys approaching, and my spidey sense activating, I quickly blocked the door with cobwebs and called powder to leave

The owner quickly began to knock on the door to open it, before we left my spider sense activated again and a blue light enveloped the building. When he passed I went to the one who was knocking on the door, fortunately he was alive, the last thing I wanted was for him to I would have died. When I saw that someone was approaching, the voice sounded like a girl, so I threw cobwebs on the door and headed to the place of the explosion

This had left a large hole where a large part of the apartment used to be, and because of that there were guards and people looking towards the building, so I grabbed the loot and helped everyone down and we started running back to Zaun. That's when the alarms started ringing, I was the one doing the most complicated part of trapping the guards in nets, when we got to the bridge this was being raised by a ship that was passing, Claggor and Powder managed to get through in time, but Mylo had tripped

"I told you to take the laces off your shoes, you fool!" I told him, to which I grabbed him by the shirt and swung us to the other side of the bridge. Some guards managed to get through before the bridge was raised but thanks to some nets that I threw at them and a gas pipe we managed to escape from there. A few moments later, we were heading towards the last drop, when a guy, more specifically the same idiot I had faced when I got my powers, saw us and asked if we had any good loot

Of course, that idiot Mylo couldn't keep his mouth shut for a minute, I replied that of course we had a good loot. I immediately tried to play it down but it didn't take long for us to find ourselves surrounded by the rest of their group, they got to the point and asked us to share a little with them

Obviously I wasn't going to spend all our effort just to "share a little" so I hit him with the bag and threw it at Powder, Mylo and Claggor took care of the regular humans while I stayed with the shapeshifter. The fight didn't take long to intensify, Claggor managed to perfectly dominate the two they were fighting with and Mylo... He managed as best he could, but after a moment I lost sight of Powder

Eventually I managed to dominate the fight and using my webs I pushed towards the shapeshifter and crashed them against some boxes. Before we left, the shapeshifter pulled out a knife in a threat, but instead of intimidating me I approached "wanna see how that end?" He looked at me and ran away. That's when I realized that Powder was no longer there

When we found her again she ran to me telling me that she was very sorry that she had no other option, since apparently she had thrown the bag into the sea. Obviously that didn't please Mylo at all and he got angry with her "she's unlucky" Mylo had told Powder. When we returned to the last straw we tried to go unnoticed, but of course, since the entire suburban district had found out about the explosion... Vander too

When he went to scold us I asked him to please take it out on me and leave the others alone, but instead he just gave me a talk that to this day I remember: "What the hell were you thinking, Vi?"

"What the hell was I up to...? Please, we only took a few things, they are rich, surely they can replace everything we took"

"I saw... you all blew up a building, some people were injured. Do you have the slightest idea what is going to happen now?" Vi did not respond

"I don't understand you, I really don't, what difference does it make if the guards come down here? I can entangle them with my nets and I can break their heads with just my fist, and you can cut them like they were made of paper" Vander narrows his eyes. and keep silent. "I really will never understand you, if we have all this power, we can do whatever we want, we can defend our people, and make them pay for everything they have done to us, but instead of that, you prefer to stay here down and kiss their butts, why? "I saw power," he asked, challenging him

They both stare until Vander says "your father used to tell me that everyone saw me as a leader 'if you want to start a fire, they bring you gasoline' he told me, he said 'when you have great power, it always comes with great responsibility.' "He said that when you had the ability to do great things, people would admire you for it, and they would follow you and do whatever you asked"

Vi lowers his head seeing what he means "you have been given a gift, Vi, with great power comes great responsibility, never forget that." After that, and just as Vadner predicted, the vigilantes began to arrive like an entire army, we hid from them but it was like no matter where I went, the world seemed to want to hold me responsible at all costs. Despite everything, Vander was still reluctant to want to go against the vigilantes, even when everyone asked him to rise up and face them

My breaking point was the moment the vigilantes arrived at our house, they had never gotten very close to the last straw, the worst of all was that Vander simply didn't want to attack. But he needed me to understand. "Was it necessary for me to understand?" come here?" asks Vi

"Vi, it seems that you still don't understand"

"no, what I can't understand is how you can work with them" Vander opens his eyes when he realizes that Vi knows his secret "I spent my entire life knowing that I am less than them, that my place is down there "I don't want that for anyone in Undercity, I want a better future for powder and I'm ready to fight for that."

"I was too, I was angry for what they did to us, I wanted to make them pay, we can, yes, but who are you willing to lose for that?" Vi lowers his head without answering, "Mylo?" Vander asks, "a claggor? A powder?" Vi lowers his arms "no one wins in war Vi"

That's when I understood it, although it was too late. I managed to steal the message that the sheriff gave Vander to call him if he had the person responsible for everything, I decided that there would not be a war because of me, so the best thing was to turn myself in, but not before saying goodbye to Powder. "don't forget that what makes you different makes you strong, remember Powder"

In the end I tried to do the right thing by turning myself in, I thought that this way everything would be solved Rio and no one else would get hurt, unfortunately, Vander managed to find me before the guards arrived for me

"You have a big heart, never lose it, no matter how hard the world tries to break it." I was not willing to let Vander pay for my actions, but unfortunately he knew one of my weaknesses, spider venom. It wasn't a big deal, but it made me lose some of my strength for a while, I tried and tried and tried to break down the door when then...

Then everything went to shit, a green and muscular thing attacked the guards outside, I couldn't hear much, the only thing I could hear was how that thing destroyed Benzo and took Vander away. I had never felt so helpless in my life. A few minutes later, Ekko managed to find me and told me where they had taken Vander

I couldn't do this alone, so I decided to take Mylo and claggor, except powder, I wasn't ready for this. We managed to get there, but it turned out to be a trap to get us there, I had to face all the mutants of this "silco" alone, in the end I managed it

But that's when the green, muscular thing appeared again, my spider sense had never been turned on like that before

I tried to attack him but... I didn't even tickle him, but luckily mylo had managed to get Vander out of his prison, and Claggor made an escape route for us. That's when everything turned blue and then black... When I woke up, looked up and couldn't find Vander, what I did find... They were the lifeless bodies of Mylo and Claggor under the rubble. I tried to get up but I was very tired and the door above me was very heavy

When I took it off the big green monster was there, that was when I knew that was the end. When then a bigger monster, with 3 claws coming out of each hand, grabbed the other by the neck and tore it to pieces in front of me

That's when I realized that it was Vander, the building was about to explode, so he took me in his arms and took me out of there

He was wounded and bleeding "take care of powder" was the last thing he said to me before he died

Then I heard her

"vi, VI! Did you see it? My pumpkin bomb finally worked"

That's when he sees Vander's body "did you... Did that?"

"I was... I was just trying to save you"

"why?"

"I just wanted to help, I just wanted to help, I just wanted to help!"

"I TOLD you to stay away"

"vi i-i..."

"I told you to... STAY AWAY" I saw him hit her with his super strength, knocking out a tooth

"Why did you leave me?!"

"Because you're a jinx! Do you hear me? Mylo was right!"

I don't know what happened to me, I just don't know, when I realized what I had done, I knew I should walk away and calm down, even though I shouldn't have gone that far

I saw that Silco was approaching Powder and she started to wash it "¡powder! Mmmhhh... "

At one point, I had a necklace that suppressed my powers and a cloth in my mouth, the last thing I saw was that bastard on top of my sister

And now I am here, in jail paying for my mistakes and stupidities, all because I wanted money and fortune, I wanted everyone to admire me, to believe that I was a heroine

I was stupid and irresponsible. "with great power comes great responsibility" that was what Vander told me, I wish I had understood it sooner, maybe... Maybe none of this would have happened

Maybe everyone would be... *sigh* it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore

NOW

Vi hits a wall while outside footsteps are heard heading towards her cell, she stops when a shadow falls on her

He turned around and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Vi looks at the person in front of her, Caitlyn Rogers, Captain America
