Caty was sent flying into another building across the street by her nemesis, the Jackal. [color=E137E3]"Ow."[/color] She said as she grabbed her head and tried to get out from under the fallen rubble all around her. [color=E137E3]"No hi, no I haven't seen you since Christmas, just straight to fighting. Did anyone tell you you have poor conversational skills?"[/color]

[color=336600]"I like to let my fists do the talking."[/color] The Jackal said as he landed a few feet in front of her.

[color=E137E3]"See, that's the problem."[/color] Caty said finally getting up. [color=E137E3]"I don't even know why you're so obsessed with me. I don't even know you. It's kinda creepy. I know I'm called Spider-Woman, but I'm not even eighteen yet and I have a girlfriend."[/color]

[color=336600]"You do know me, [i]Caty[/i]. And I don't want to be with you. I want to end you for destroying my niece's life."[/color] The Jackal transformed into Miles Warren as he said the last sentence.

Caty couldn't believe her eyes. It was Gwen's uncle. [color=E137E3]"Dr. Warren? That's why you attacked me after I left your house on New Year's Eve. But I'm still confused. Why try to kill me? Why create clones of me and Danny? Why not bring back Gwen's dad like you did Liz?"[/color]

[color=336600]"I tried. He was my first clone. Unfortunately his DNA at the time was corrupted. But I later found samples at his home that proved perfect for the cloning process. He's in that lab. But I want you and your brother dead before I bring him home to Gwen. I don't want you two leading to his deaths again or someone coming after her personally."[/color]

[color=E137E3]"You can't blame me for that. The Hobgoblin's insane. His problem was with Norman Osborn. He attacked me thinking Gwen and Harry were Spider-Man and Spider-Woman."[/color]

Miles paused for a moment. [color=336600]"Norman..."[/color] His conviction was starting to slip, but the inner monster, his inner Jackal was getting louder and louder. He wanted blood and it was starting to consume his rational thought. [color=336600]"I'll just have to kill him next."[/color] He transformed back into the Jackal and charged forward to slam Spider-Woman into the building.

Caty realized she wasn't going to get through to him with her words so maybe communicating with her fists was the best option. She used his momentum against him and slid in between his legs before quickly turning around and shooting webs at the still intact part of the wall before pulling with all of her might to bring it down on top of him. It worked, but not to the extent that she hoped. It didn't slow him down at all. She stood up and dashed forward before he had the chance to fully recover. She jumped and spun in the air leading to a double kick straight to his face that sent him flying into the building.

Spider-Woman fell to the floor and rubbed her feet to console them. [color=E137E3]"Felt like I was kicking a mountain. What's this guy made of?"[/color] She said before struggling to her feet. She swung inside the building to give her feet some rest, but couldn't find the Jackal once she entered. Her spider-sense activated to warn her about the incoming Jackal dropping down from above. She shot another web just in time to avoid him as he crashed into the floor below. When it came to brute strength and durability it was obvious that the Jackal had her beat. She had to figure out a way around it. She had him slightly edged out with speed and had more range with her webs, but she knew that there wasn't much they could do against him. She also had her ability to control spiders, but didn't want to torture the guy like he had been torturing her and her family. She dropped to the ground and turned to face him. She beckoned him forward with her right hand and waited for him to charge like the bull he was.

When the Jackal was close enough to her, Spider-Woman shot webs into his eyes. He roared in annoyance causing her to web his mouth shut as well. She took the opportunity to then give him a five-piece combo that started with a right hook to his cheek, followed by a left hook, right jab, right uppercut, and finished it off with a double fisted hammer punch knocking him towards the ground. He recovered and finally ripped the webs from his eyes to reveal the fury inside of them.

He grabbed her arm as she went for another punch and flung her across the room. He removed the webs covering his mouth as he approached her ready to finish what he started so long ago.

Spider-Woman couldn't believe even that wasn't enough to give him pause. She threw her all into those punches and he was eating them. Probably would have literally ate them if she didn't close his mouth. Then a twinkle of hope glistened in her masked eyes as she noticed a familiar silhouette above the Jackal.

Cassie jumped down from the ceiling and clung onto the Jackal's bag like a spider-monkey and stabbed him in his eyes with her fingers. He roared out in genuine pain and anger at being blinded by one of his insufferable creations. She didn't let up just there. She slammed two fists into the sides of his head to rattle his brain. She wanted to go further. She wanted to kill him for all that he had done to them.

It was strange, but watching this kind of made Caty feel bad for the guy. He was now effectively blind and beating on him just didn't feel right. She stood up and shook her head. [color=E137E3]"That's enough, Cass."[/color]

[color=violet]"He hurt sister."[/color] Speaking her first words to Caty.

Caty's eyes widened underneath and on her mask. [color=E137E3]"Your first words. You used Santa's gift. But it's okay. He's in pain. He's doing it all for Gwen. I don't blame him. I blame the monster inside him. And I don't want to be responsible for Gwen losing someone else. And although he's misguided in all of his ways he's still technically your father."[/color]

Cassie hadn't considered that. He was technically their father, but she knew that as long as he was conscious he would do anything to finish what he started. She cupped her hands together and slammed them into the back of his head causing him to fall over and revert from his Jackal transformation before webbing him up so he wouldn't escape. They'd call the police later and have him picked him.

Spider-Woman winced as she watched the Jackal fall to the floor. She forgot exactly how strong Cassandra was. She was glad she never used all of that strength against her when they first met. [color=E137E3]"Thank you, Cass. Let's go join the others."[/color]
