Darkness was present, nothing but the two voices of hatred.

I hope you're proud of yourself, Zaun now has Piltover's attention in the form of war, the council, my mother… possibly dead thanks to your fruitless attempt to save your sadistic sibling!

ENOUGH EXCUSES VI! JINX JUST BLEW UP THE COUNCIL, POSSIBLY TOOK AWAY MY MOTHER'S LIFE AND YET YOU STILL DEFEND HER?!

Oil and Water don't go together…

I never want to hear from or see your face again!!

She's too far gone!

This is your fault!!!

You & your sister deserve each other, this partnership and whatever we had is done…

Powder this! Powder that! Powder, powder, powder, powder, powder, powder, POWDER!! She's dead, you had your chance to have her back & you F**KING BLEW IT!

Goodbye and Good Riddance!

I wanted you to love me as I am now… even though I'm different but no… dear sister, sister thought I missed her… you don't love jinx, you only love powder… Well powder fell down a well & is never coming back.

You're not the same strong & fierce leader Vi anymore… You're just Piltover's & Hat lady's pathetic little, lapdog b***h…

As of right now, this ain't your home anymore & you are no longer my sister, you called me a jinx… Well to me, you're just dead.

The voices and visions continue to hauntingly replay over and over again until….

Vi woke up with a loud scream. The pink haired woman sat in a cold sweat, breathing rapidly in a panic. She finds herself in a bedroom slightly dark as the rain was drizzling outside. Vi regains her composure a bit, slowly getting out of the bed, seeing herself in a full length mirror closet door. She noticed the blood on her was cleaned and the wounds she received was all patched up. Her  clothes were replaced with a white top and black shorts.

Vi: What the hell? Where am I? Who patched me up-

Vi then heard voices coming towards the door of her room. Vi then quickly went back in the bed, back in the bed. As much as she wants to knock the heads of whoever is coming, Vi for once, needed to be think less with her fists and didn't want to reopen her wounds.

Pretending to be knocked out, the door opens as figures walked in, vi heard two voices, one man and the other a woman.

???: (male voice) C'mon Domino, I could've at least helped you with cleaning & patching the pink haired amazon!

‘Domino’: (female voice) And trying to get all touchy feely with an injured woman unconscious? Not happening Deadpool. Plus, Spider-Man trusted me to handle it.

Vi: (in her mind) Spider-Man? What kind of name is that? Wait… is that the guy with that black suit with the white spider emblem on the chest that caught me when I was falling?

‘Deadpool’: …. I was going to be gentle with her. 

A smack sound was heard.

Deadpool: Ouch! Yeesh woman, take a joke! (Cowboy accent) At least I made some rootin’, tootin’, tasty fiddles for the strong gal, yee haw!

Domino: ….You never cease to wise crack or makes puns in different voices, do you?

Deadpool: Every f**King time, D.

Domino: Ugh.

Deadpool: Anyways, it's great that Spidey finally grew a set and stopped holding back after the whole doc ock sh”t he went through! People say I'm crazy yet most every single hero with the exception of a few were insane to not see that the old web head had been acting funny. You think with the genius types in the world none of the ego and pride too much to admit they're wrong f**ks could tell when someone had their minds switched! I mean, the whole Freaky Friday body/mind swapping sh*t has happened millions of times here!

Domino: Well even the smartest can be fooled and blinded in more than one.

Deadpool: (wearing a top hat and monocle, polish tone) I haven't the faintest idea of what rubbish you are sprouting, Madame D. I happen to be one of the most intelligent mind of all time & I saw this wicked nastiness act occur before the oh so smartest men in the word, Ahhawhawhaw.

Domino: …

Another smack sound was heard.

Deadpool: Ow! Too much, got it. When I heard Spidey was putting a team together to kill those bad motherf**kers, I just had sign up. Still, I still kill for money, vengeance, sport, for fun and sh*ts and giggles but who am I to refuse?

Domino: Well at least the payment is right. Plus, I can admit the web head has gotten quite lethal, I'm starting to like it…

Deadpool: I'll arrange a love suite for you two to get it on-

A third smack sound was heard.

Deadpool: Ouch! I will smack you next, face and ass!

Domino: Hmph. You'll lose your hands to try.

Deadpool: Wouldn't be the first time.

Domino: Let's just go before you wake up the woman.

Deadpool: Alright, Alright. I heard Moonstone is unemployed, let's try to recruit her. Extra boobs & ass and all strength rivaling Captain Marvel to a ten.

Domino: It's always boobs and ass with you.

The two were going back and forth as they left the room, closing it behind them. Vi got back up, wondering what the f**k she just heard.

Vi: That was bizarre.

Then Vi’s attention was turned to the table with a large plate of food. It looks quite edible, the smell was intoxicating and different from the food at Jericho's. How she missed it. Her stomach growls, signaling her hunger as Vi did not need to be told twice, completely devouring her plate, enjoying each morsel of meat, fish, rice, etc.

She haven't had a meal like this since…. well Vi doesn't know nor care. She continues to eat until the plate was fully empty. Wiping her mouth, Vi looks back at the closed door, listening in to anyone coming by, there was none. She slowly opens the door, looking to the left, then the right as the coast was clear. Vi left the room and quietly but surely ran through the halls, passing by automatic slide doors with code scans, she saw one of them was opening up ahead and immediately jumped from one side of the wall to the other, using both arms and legs to hold on to the walls near above the ceiling, looking down at someone coming out of the room, she winced in pain as her muscles were still sore.

Vi: (in her mind) F**k, not now…

She waited for the figure to be out of sight and just time as Vi let's go to land on her feet but felt a sort impact in doing so.

Vi: Ngh!

VI looks ahead and quickly heads through the door opened in front of her before it would automatically close. Catching her breath, Vi mentally cursed, she still wasn't at 100 percent and whoever is here she would probably put back in that bed in seconds with wounds reopened, a lot of questions were swarming in her mind and too frustrated to get this straightened out. She observed the room she was in, it looked like a high quality and advanced gym of some kind, workout equipment, training mannequins, some of combat borgs, rings, etc. Vi couldn't help but feel impressed by this, it was state of the art. She approached the nearest punching bag, getting a feel at it. Vi decided to give it a few rounds, putting up her fists, she enters her boxing stance and begins to swing at the punching bag, followed by a couple of haymakers, straight jabs and solid swings.

Each swing was the harder than the last as Vi started breathing roughly and angrily, visions beginning to flash in her mind as her mood changes instantly like a swift flip of a coin. Haunting visions of those she failed to keep safe…

Pow!

Those she's failed look after…

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Those she's failed to protect…

Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

Those she's failed to be there for…

Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

Those she's failed to save…

POW!

Her parents…

POW!

Vander…

POW!

Mylo…

POW!

Claggor…

POW!

Ekko…

POW!

Caitlyn…

POW!

Powder…

POW!

Jinx…!

Vi: RHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Another fierce blow sent the punching bag off it's edged and flying across the room. Vi fell to her knees, shaking in a rapid breathing frenzy, looking at her hands which rattled and shook. Shaking her head, she let out a another loud & painful yell of despair, clutching her head & falling to her side, hot tears running down her eyes. Jinx was right. Vi was the weak one, not her. She chose Caitlyn over her, she wanted powder and hated jinx, unable to accept the reality that punching her straight in the face. As it hurts Vi to the core, she knew & accepted the truth that powder is never coming back… and now Jinx is all that remains, no longer wanting anything to do with her. The same thing can be said about Caitlyn, the Piltovian she has a… connection with & due to her mistakes & what Jinx has cause in the Council, especially her mother's death, Caitlyn was lost to Vi as well…

She had nobody. Even in this world, she has no one.

While Vi was in her mental breakdown, the door slides open as someone walked in, seeing her like this. The figure approached the broken down pink haired woman, who noticed the shadow and immediately jolted back up to deliver a punch on instinct which was caught effortlessly, looking at the person who saved her from falling.

Spider-Man: I take it you're all better physically but not mentally?

Vi stared at the black suited anti-hero with teary yet furious eyes with gritted teeth.

Spider-Man: Judging by the look in your eyes and the body language, you've been through a lot. Care to talk about it?

The moment he said that, he ducked underneath a left swing from Vi, releasing the fist he held to push her back a few feet from him.

Spider-Man: Not in a talking mood. More of a wolverine stabs first and ask questions never mood.

Vi lunged at Spider-Man, delivering an assortment of solid strong swings and strikes while the web anti-hero would avoid, dodge and intercept Vi’s moves to counter them with his own, knocking the pink haired woman down a peg.

Spider-Man: Are you ready to talk now of who you are and where you came from?

Vi: Rrrrgghhh!!

Vi kips up to hit a punch to Spider-Man's face but it only stun him for a second as he struck back with a left swing to her face, followed by taking her arm to judo flip Vi to the ground, earning a pained grunt.

Vi: Aaauhh!

Spider-Man: Look, attacking someone who just saved your life isn't much of a thank you.

Vi: I didn't asked to be saved!

Spider-Man rolls her eyes under the mask, Vi getting up to punch him but he would block each hit she was throwing at him.

Spider-Man: (blocking) So you wanted to fall out of the sky? What world did you come from?

Vi: (attacking) None of your f**king business!

Spider-Man dodged the hit, flipping over Vi’s head, landing behind her to trip the pink haired woman to land on her back.

Vi: Agh!

Spider-Man: C'mon, you're obviously in a bad mood. Whatever's going on in that head of yours, we can talk about it. Are you sad? In pain?

VI got up again.

Vi: I'm not sad! Or in pain! I'm mad, I'm angry, I'm f**king pissed off!

Vi went on the attack again with Spider-Man this time, allowing the pink haired brawler to hit him while he was unaffected.

Vi: (attacking) I'm pissed off that I lost my real family! I'm pissed off that I lost my adopted one! I'm pissed off at myself for punching my sister, calling her a jinx to chase her away into a chem drug lord's arms, I'm even more pissed off that I made her into an unstable monster who wanted me to make a choice which made her choose to start a war between Zaun & Piltover!

Spider-Man listened at Vi continued to vent out her anger, frustration & self loathing and guilt, hearing breaking down slowly.

Vi: (voice breaking) I-I tried to be strong… no matter what happens, I ended f**king everything up, I always thought silco was to b-blame for making her into Jinx… it was me, I drove her away, I left her when the monster came in to carry her off, I caused her to go insane over what's going on between me & cait, It's all my fault! I made jinx, I couldn't love her the way she was, I lost my sister, I lost Cait, I lost my home, I lost EVERYTHING!

She roared, hitting one more punch to Spider-Man's gut with a loud impact but the dark web hero remained silent & stood as Vi slowly dropped to her knees, in a sobbing mess.

Vi: (sobs) I f**ked up. I-I failed… I failed them, I failed my sister & I failed myself… I'm just weak…

Spider-Man kneels down to Vi’s level, looking at the pink haired woman, a look of sympathy under the mask.

Spider-Man: I'm sorry… guess we both have a thing for failures and mistakes.

Vi: ….?

Spider-Man: It's apart of the job being who I am, knowing that you can't save everyone… whether if they don't want to be or you're too late to prevent their death or something beyond your control to prevent just happens.

Vi was silent but ponders what Spider-Man was saying.

Spider-Man: You made a mistake, you admitted that… that means you never meant for this thing between you & your sister to happen. It was out your control…

Vi: ….

Spider-Man: If you want to, we can find a way to get you home. How did you get here anyway? A gateway? A portable device? A magic artifact?

Vi let out a dry chuckles.

Vi: I don't know… One minute I was wandering in the forest, the next I fell right into a swirling portal or something. And if you do have a way to get me back, I'm not sure if I wanna go back, there's nothing left for me now that war has started, nothing to fight for, nothing to protect, I have nothing…

Vi had a calm yet depressed look. The dark hero then decided to break the silence.

Spider-Man: Then you can start again.

Vi looks up at him.

Vi: Huh?

Spider-Man: In a way, I was in your shoes too. I had nothing before, long story short, I was everyone's Web themed hero & friendly neighborhood amazing Spider-Man, loved & hated until one of my first, doctor octopus…

Vi couldn't help but laugh a bit. Doctor Octopus? What kind of a name is that, she thought?

Spider-Man: … he swapped minds with me & turned my normal & hero life upside down to boost his ego on being the “Superior” Spider-Man. Everyone I knew & loved was either pushed away or hurt badly. A part of me wasn't gone as I got my body back but it was too late… I ended up being everyone's enemy, some believed my story while others didn't bother to check or see what was wrong, thought I automatically went bad & treated me like every criminal. So… I stopped holding back… stopped being the Spider-Man they betrayed…

Vi saw Spider-Man's hands clenched into fists in silence anger. What the hell was wrong with these heroes, she thought?

Vi: Geez, mind swapping? And they f**king didn't believe you? Of all the sh*t I've seen & heard, that hits way closer to home. I’d be pissed off too if someone highjacked my brain and used my body to do who the f**k knows what.

Spider-Man: Yeah… it wouldn't be fun. It's happened before on several occasions here yet once it happens to me, it's unbelievable. Tch. But that aside, some heroes stood by me, even if I walk the path of a dark hero now?

Vi: You're the type of hero that kills, huh?

Spider-Man: Yeah. I only kill those who truly deserve it, who can't be locked up, can't be redeemed & those who spill innocent people too much to be kept alive. I'm not the first anti-hero, there are others like The Punisher, Ghost Rider, Blade, etc.

Vi: ….

Spider-Man: I'm forming a team of my own so far, who can truly make a difference in cleaning up the mess of New York of villains where the so called Earth's mightiest heroes have failed to do & I still help some of the select heroes that I trust. I have a few members so far but I'm still looking for more new recruits.

Vi: Well, sign me up.

Spider-Man: Wait, you wanna join? Just like that?

Vi stood up to her feet, wiping away any leftover tears on her face.

Vi: Well you saved my ass from plummeting to the ground so I at least owe you.

Spider-Man: You don't really owe me. I know you want to start over again but don't you want a normal life rather than to fight in another-

Vi: F**k normality! Where I'm from, normal ain't actually a thing around there, if I'm going to start over then I might as well not try the sappy quiet life. I don't mind the peace but it's obvious that even if I give up fighting, it's not gonna give up on me. Trouble seems to find me rather than the other way around either in my world or the start of this world!

Spider-Man: So what are you saying?

Vi: (determined glare) I want to join your team. I failed my part in my old home, but I can make a difference here, right? I want to pick myself up again, be strong again to fight and put bastards worse than even Silco into the ground, I've seen enough bloodshed in my own world to guess that your rogue gallery is piling up bodies of innocent people. You need all the help you can get, right? Well since you're helping me, let me help you.

The dark hero stared at Vi in silence, already wanting to find a new purpose in life since everything went downhill in her old world. Seems that all the despair has washed away and was replaced by a new fire & determined into the pink haired woman's eyes, wanting to begin a new chapter in her new life, especially with using her fists.

Soon, Spider-Man finally spoke.

Spider-Man: Alright. Welcome aboard.

Spider-Man offers his hand for a shake, Vi reaches for it in a firm grip on the handshake with a satisfied smile.

Vi: Vi.

Spider-Man: Hmm?

Vi: Name's Vi. My full name is Violet but I go by Vi for short.

Spider-Man: Well Vi, welcome to the team. You already know me as Spider-Man so here's my other side.

Standing back, the suit started to move on it's own before Vi’s shocked eyes, retracting within to reveal a tall, lean athletic, young man about her age in casual clothing.

Spider-Man: Parker. Peter Parker.

Vi stared at him up and down, he didn't look bad but aside from the good looks, what the f**k was that with this suit sinking into his body.

Peter: You're… probably freaked out about the suit, huh?

Vi: I'm already starting to feel that way.

Peter: It's a long story.
