Bloodweb said quietly, "Another 'accident' they tried to bury. Like mine."
She smirked, her fingers weaving glowing, invisible strands through the air, like spider silk no one else could touch.
Bloodweb explained, "I was a scientist. I worked on a breakthrough serum — something that could enhance human abilities."
She glanced down, her voice tight.
"My own team — people I trusted — stole my research and sold it for money."
She clenched her jaw, eyes flickering with anger.
"I injected the serum myself to stop them. But it changed me. I gained control over energy webs — threads that bind and trap. They made me powerful. Dangerous."
She said with a cold smile, "That's when they turned on me. Said I was unstable. Tried to silence me."
Her glowing threads danced between her fingertips.
"I escaped once, but not for long. I was hunted like a weapon. That's when I met Marcus."
She glanced over at him.
