Itsy Bitsy Spider

Spider-Girl’s head was pounding, her every muscle screaming as she staggered through the gray, metallic corridors of the alien warship. Sparks rained from a shattered bulkhead behind her, the hum of strange energy weapons echoing through the hall. She had fought hard—leaping, dodging, web-slinging through zero gravity—but these creatures were faster, stronger, and completely unlike anything she’d faced before. Her suit’s sensors were malfunctioning, causing her to lose her mask, her web-shooters nearly drained, and still, she refused to back down. “Just… one more round,” she muttered to herself, forcing shaky legs to move as the deck vibrated beneath her feet. Then came the blow—sudden, devastating, and final. A massive alien warrior backhanded her with bone-crushing force, hurling her across the chamber like a ragdoll. She slammed into a wall of cold metal, her body folding before collapsing to the floor in a heap.
