Strikers: Monster, Wolverine, Crystal

Monster:
Strikers

Crystal: Y/N?!

Laura looked up from her book to find the princess walking into the lounge room. Crystal stopped when she spotted her laying on the couch.

But the thing was that Laura looked unusually comfortable. She wore a tank top that showed off her abs and shorts that reached to her mid thigh. Her hair was also tied up in a bun and it was clear that her toe nails were recently painted.

The two stared at each other for a moment in silence.

Crystal: Uh...

Laura: Everyone is gone already to finish installing the other teleporters.

Crystal: Uh...

Laura: And should you go and tell anyone about what you are currently witnessing, I will personally rip your spine out through your nose.

Crystal stood there for a moment. She seemed unfazed. So Laura raised a brow.

Laura: Nothing? Fine. You tell anyone about this, I'll tell everyone that you have a crush on Y/N.

Crystal: So, you're just training, huh?!

Laura smirked at her success as evident of Crystal's red cheeks.

Laura: So, why are you looking for the idiot?

Crystal: I just....personal stuff. And for the record, I-I don't have a crush on that mutant. I'm simply...intrigued by his power.

She crossed her arms as Laura looked at her. She then rubbed the back of her neck for a moment.

Crystal: So, uh, you wouldn't happen to know where he is, would you?

Laura shrugged.

Laura: He said that he was going to go visit someone. Asshole wouldn't say who, though.

Crystal: He's visiting someone? He didn't say anything about seeing the Program. Is there something going on with the Avengers?

Laura: Don't know, don't care. If he dies, I'm pretty sure leadership gets turned over to me.

The room fell into silence. Laura suddenly stood up, uncaring that her tank top had fallen off her shoulder and was now exposing her boob.

Laura: We need to find him ASAP!
---------------
Guard: And what's your reason for visiting?

You raised a brow at the question. He waited for you to answer but you gestured to your costume. He just sat there.

You sighed.

Y/N: Buiness.

Guard: Name?

Y/N: Monster.

Guard: Last name?

Y/N: Uh....Power?

Guard: Got a middle name?

Y/N: Of?

Guard: So you're Monster of Power?

You stood there for a moment.

Y/N: Yeah. Sure. Whatever.

The guard shrugged and approved your visit. You just rolled your eyes as the door buzzed and slid open. You walked through the gate and started your walk through the line of glass cells.

Norman: Oh? The little monster is visiting?

Maximus: Damn you! You will pay for what you did!

Midnight's Fire: The Ten Rings shall rise again!

MODOCK: I will escape! When I do, I'll tear you apart like the experiment you are!

You ignored the threats of your former foes as you made your way to where you wanted to go.

???: Well, this is a treat.

You stopped and looked into one of the cells.

???: I always knew you would return to me. Your creator.

You stood there for a moment before you rolled your eyes. You started to walk away.

Doom: You won't deny me much long...

Y/N: Eat shit and live, Victor.

You flipped him off as you continued walking. You weren't here for him.

You reached the final cell and stood there. It was dark, but you could see his leg.

???: My my. This is quite the surpise.

You watched as he slowly leaned forward with a laugh.

Cletus: Hello, Y/N. Long time no see.

Cletus laughed as he looked at you.

Cletus: And of course you show up with a mask. Can't show me how scared you really are, right? No friends, either? Not even that cute bug?

You reached up and took your mask off, showing him your face.

Cletus grinned.

Cletus: You looked different. Did you grow a beard?

You stood there for a moment, silent.

Cletus: So, why are you here? Nearly a year after you defeated me. After I took away your, what did you call him?

He tapped his chin before he smirked.

Cletus: That's right. Your brother.

Venom moved from your arm and began to consume Carnage as it screamed out.

Venom: My name is Venom. The protector of my brother. A fucking hero!

Carnage: Noooooo!!!

Then, all was silent. Time seemed to slow down as you watched the two symbiotes consume each other. Then, you couldn't feel him. You couldn't hear him.

Your hand opened up and the ashes began to fly from your hand. No final words. No last jokes.

Nothing.

You watched as the red and black ashes flew through the air over your head.

You then clenched your fists as tears threatened to form.

Y/N: I'm sorry there wasn't another way, Venom. I won't let this go to waste.

You didn't say anything. Cletus laughed at the lack of reaction.

Cletus: Sorry. Bad memories?

He rubbed his chin as he narrowed his eyes at you.

Cletus: Wait a second. Is it just me, or are your nails sharper? Though, I suppose you never did need claws to hurt people, did you?

He slowly stood up as he kept his eyes on you.

Cletus: You didn't need them to rip Felicia's heart out, did you?

Y/N: I...

You looked at Felicia, Cat. The one who was there for you when you were alone. The one who supported you through it all. Your family. Your home. Your love.

And you said those three words.

Y/N: I'm letting go.

Felicia smiled slightly and placed a hand on your cheek as tears began to form in your eyes. She was everything to you. But you couldn't control her life. Not if you really cared.

You couldn't trap her here.

You could never hold her back.

Cletus: You broke her heart. You know, if you asked her to stay, she would've. No questions asked.

He began to laugh while you watched.

Cletus: Oh, how I love watching your heart break. You don't need to talk. I see it in your eyes. But, she wasn't the only one you hurt, is she? No. There was another. Oh how you got her hopes up.

You finally reached Nadia who stood there nervously.

Nadia: Uh, guess I'll see you later?

Y/N: Guess so. I'll be back, eventually.

Nadia: I hope so.

She pushed a piece of hair behind her ear. You smiled before you leaned down and kissed her. The guys began to cheer while the girls whooped.

Y/N: I'll see you around, baby Wasp.

Nadia smiled.

Nadia: Guess you will, Monster.

Cletus: Then, just like everyone else, you destroyed those hopes.

Tandy: Oh! I love this song!

She grabbed your hand and began to pull you along.

Tandy: Come dance with me.

You just smiled and allowed her to drag you to the dance floor. Nadia watched the two of you dance and frowned.

She was happy that you were happy, but it didn't make it hurt any less.

He looked past you and noticed that everything was silent. His grin slowly faded away as he also noticed that the guards were gone.

Cletus: Hm.

Y/N: You know a lot, Cletus.

Cletus looked at you. It was the first time you had spoke to him. But your voice wasn't hollowed or empty. No hurt, no anger.

Cletus: What?

Y/N: You have learned so much about me thanks to some informates, right? You've heard so much about what I've been doing.

Cletus was surpised when his cell suddenly opened. His eyes grew wide as you took a step forward.

Y/N: The same informant that I've been feeding personally. The same one who I had sent to give you updates every week.

Cletus: W-What?

You took another step, and Cletus did something he had never done before.

He took a step back.

Y/N: Do you know why?

You took another step forward. Then you didn't something that no one had ever done before.

You scared Cletus.

By smiling.

Cletus: W-What....

Y/N: It's because I know how much you love me, Cletus. And I know how badly it hurts to know that I don't need you.

Cletus began to shrink in fear as you leaned in even closer.

Y/N: Because I will never need you. You were nothing more than an inconvenience for me.

Cletus: B-But...I...I broke you.

Y/N: And it only made me stronger. You failed, Cletus. And you'll live with that failure for the rest of your days.

Cletus took another step back, but he found his back against the wall. You simply smiled, showing your teeth, as you stood there.

Cletus' eyes grew wide when he noticed your left eye glowing in the dark.

Y/N: You'll stay here until the day you rot away to nothing. But, you already are nothing, aren't you? It's all you'll ever be.

Cletus: I...no....NO! I'M CARNAGE! I'M THE CARNAGE KILLER!

Y/N: No. You were simply it's host. Nothing more.

You began to laugh as you leaned down til you were mere inches from his face.

Y/N: You, Cletus, will never be anything to me. Nothing at all. And you'll continue to know this every single time that guard comes to report to you.

You stood up and placed a hand into your pocket. You pulled your mask back out as you looked down at the coward.

Y/N: The next time I come, it won't be for you. But I'll be sure to walk by so you can see me. I'm a generous person, after all.

Cletus: YOU'RE CRUEL! YOU'RE AS CRUEL AS I!

You just smiled as you placed your mask back on your face.

Y/N: Maybe I am. But that's why you love me, right?

You turned away and walked out if the cell as it closed. Cletus watched as you walked away, uncaring of who watched you. No one said anything as you silently walked.

They all say your eye.

Maybe you were cruel.

Maybe you were sick.

But you didn't care.
--------------
Laura and Crystal groaned as they continued to look for you. No one at the Program knew where you were and you weren't in LA or Canada with the others.

So they were back in the empty New York Striker Base that Bobbi had arranged. It was practically useless right now, but that was where the teleporter was.

Crystal: Of course he would just up and dissaper.

Laura: That ass is ruining my day off. When I get my hands on him, I swear I'm gonna....

Y/N: Finally profess your love for me?

The two turned around to find you walking into the room. Though, you were now back to your casual clothes.

Laura marched over to you and pointed at you in anger.

Laura: Where the hell have you been? I was actually enjoying myself before you up and dissapered! I thought I would have to take over the Strikers, you dick!

However, she was suddenly leaned backwards as you dipped her down. You then smirked.

Y/N: Sorry, Laura. I'll make it up to you. How does a message sound? I'm sure Tandy won't mind if I spoil you for a day.

Laura found herself speechless as her cheeks grew a bit warmer. She pushed you away and turned angerly.

Laura: You have a girlfriend! Stop flirting, you douche!

Y/N: Like I said, Tandy won't care. I'm pretty sure she's a cuck. I'm not joking. Seriously, I'm getting worried.

Crystal perked up.

Crystal: So...she wouldn't care if you, say, went on a, what you humans call, a date? Or if you were to lay with another?

Y/N: I dunno. Ask her. Anyway, let's get back home. I kinda want to do something worth my time today.

The girls watched as you walked to the teleporter. You waited for them as they stepped on.

Y/N: Next stop, Burns.

Laura: Hey, is that message still up for grabs?

You smirked.

Y/N: Only if you're naked.

Laura just shrugged.

Laura: Okay.

Y/N: Wait, wha----

The teleporter activated and the three of your were taken back to Burns.

And yes, you did give Laura that massage. And yes, Tandy watched.

Seriously, you were starting to get a bit worried about her.
