❝ With me to show them the path, there will be no more victims, just survivors. ❞

An independent portrayal of Ripley Ryan, Star from Marvel Comics. Penned by ᴅᴇᴇᴛᴢɪᴇ.
How about I grant that wish then? But with one little caveat. You’re coming with me. A small corner of the world where we can really be ourselves.

( Whatever promise of peace that had existed before had completely disappeared at this point. Carol was like her personal berserk button. She could -

I know. I used to interview people.

You’d know all about that, of course.

Aw, what’s wrong?

You miss me or something?

Hope I’m doing good as Ripley though. As said before, first time writing a Marvel character in the main comics continuity. I feel like I’m just finding my rhythm atm.

- distort to such a degree that it almost didn’t sound like Ripley at all, but a much higher authority. At least, that’s what she imagined. This power wasn’t always super-reliable…

❝ So there’s sending more of you spiders after me? That’s just… peachy I guess. ❞

Star grumbled, leaning against a graffitied wall. Dealing with just one arachnid was enough, but two? Were they about to send an entire spider-army after her?

That sounded like a headache….

❝ Ugh… Why can’t you just take a hint already?! You really don’t know when to give up… ❞

Her head whipped around to see the wall-crawler in her vicinity. Was he really about to try taking her in again? Maybe with a little speech on the side?

Please.

❝ You…. You remind me of someone. ❞

Those were the words that exited her lips when she first gazed upon Mary Marvel. It was not a sense she could place, but rather a guttural reaction.

She didn’t care at the moment if she sounded like a total psycho. She had to say it.

❝ You could say that. ❞

Ripley was seeking to end her own boredom. She was a woman led by desire, and thanks to the bonding between her body and the Reality Stone, that impulsive behavior was magnified by ten.

So here she was, a risk-taker, using her power to achieve what no one else could just -

❝ It’s… it’s in the water, just lemme… lemme catch my… ❞

Star muttered, rolling her hand towards the river, awaiting whatever magic show Diana had planned. But this part? The exhaustion. The toll on her body. It never seemed to get easier.

If anything, she always felt a little weaker.

- an instant, she began to increase in speed, propelling it forward as if the both of them were part of a train.

The girl gave a heavy groan as the feat put strain and stress on her muscles. She asked for strength that exceeded the locust’s, but not for the power required for this kind of task.

- true power to back it up.

Before reeling her arm back up for a punch, she whispered just beneath her breath…

❝ 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐭… ❞

…and causing a massive collision with the beast’s cheek, sending it reeling back in pain and, with hope, making it relinquish Diana from it’s jawed hold.

❝ 𝘼𝙞𝙙? ❞

Came a mutter from the caped woman. This optimistic warrior seemed to have the wrong idea. And who could blame her based on the shiny, heroic outfit.

Lately, she was having a bit of a crisis in terms of her belonging. Sure, she did heroics with The Thunderbolts, but she also worked for -

Finally, somebody with some taste. And it just so happens to be the fashion-brain of the Avengers.

I could get used to the ego-stroking.

So 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁?

I’m still basically a god in human skin, I’m still better than 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒍 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔 and despite everything, I’m still kicking.

So, if anyone out there wants to try and lecture me, how I’m playing with power I don’t understand, how I’m too weak to handle it…

I’ll make ‘em eat their own words.

𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐞 just to have a taste of what I got. I can change reality at the drop of a hat. It can be whatever I please…

And yet, they keep throwing it in my face that I’m anything but experienced with this gift. Part of me wishes they’d shut up. Another knows they’re right.
