Ch: 223 [Sable and Wanda]

[3 days later]

Peter and Wanda treated Sable's injuries, but the poison in her body put a lot of pressure on her. She slept for three days straight, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in bed inside an unfamiliar room. Her mind was foggy. The last thing she remember was crashing down near a building and Spiderman came to her rescue.

"Argg!" She felt a sting in her head and grunted in pain as she sat up.

"You're finally awake," Peter entered the room. He was wearing his classic suit and mask.

"Spiderman... where am I?" she asked weakly.

"I found you wounded outside our base," he answered.

"And you... saved me?" she asked.

He nodded. "You were badly injured and poisoned."

She looked at him for a moment before chuckling. "Wow, I owe you a debt... Never thought you of all people would save my life." She tried to get down from the bed but stumbled on her back. Spiderman rushed to help her.

"Careful. Your body needs time to recover," He helped her sit back on the bed. "Here, drink some water."

She took the glass of water from his hand and drank it slowly. After a few moments, she calmed down. "Where is this place?"

"This is our base, Ms. Sable," he replied. "And you made quite an entrance." He dragged a nearby chair and sat on it.

She raised an eyebrow. "I see..."

"You're a wanted person, Sable," he said in a stern voice. "After that Oscorp situation last time, if the government gets a wisp of you, they will come after your ass and next time I won't be able to cover things up. So, rest for a few days and get out of here."

Silver looked at him and then chuckled. "So, this is how you treat a guest, Spiderman? Not very courteous of you."

"You crashed into our base and broke the gate. That gate alone cost a fortune, besides, I haven't forgotten what your organization did in the past. So, this whole thing, me saving you, this is the best courtesy you'll ever get from me. The door is that way, feel free to leave whenever you want," he said and got up to leave.

"Aren't you a bit curious to know what happened?" She asked.

Peter turned around and looked at her. "Nah! I'm good. I already have enough on my plate and I don't want to add your mess to it too. Do whatever you want, just leave me out of it."

"Help me kill my ex-husband," Silver said, looking directly at Peter.

"What?!"

"I said help me kill my ex-husband," she repeated. "How many days was I out?"

"Nothing like that," Silver answered. "He just married me to get my organization."

Wanda laughed. "Damn, that's so shady and yet so smart. You fall for that?"

Silver chuckled. "I was young, stupid, and naive. I fell for his words like an idiot."

"You must've loved him," Wanda said, looking at her.

Sable nodded. "Nope. He used hypnosis and somewhat brainwashed me. I don't even know if there ever was any love in the first place."

Wanda looked at her in shock. "Hypnosis? That shit exists?"

"Yes, it does, unfortunately."

Wanda thought for a few minutes. "What are you going to do now?"

Sable sighed. "I don't know. He's after me and I can't run forever. I'm not that strong, I know that now. But I sure won't go down without a fight. If he wants me, he'll have to kill me himself. I'll take him down with me."

"You want help?" Wanda asked.

"I can't ask that of you after everything. This is my problem, not yours."

"I might lend you a hand if you tell me why you did what you did. Why did you take Norman's offer? Was money that important than life? If you wanted, you could have saved so many innocent people, yet, you decided to turn a blind eye and I doubt I need to spill out the rest... So, speak and I'll decide depending on your excuse," Wanda said, narrowing her eyes.

Silver took a deep breath, her expression somber. She looked at Wanda, then back at the food tray.

"Why did I take Norman's offer? You want the truth?" she asked quietly, a hint of sadness in her voice.

Wanda crossed her arms. "I do. If I'm going to even consider helping you, I need to know why you became what you did."

Silver leaned back against the pillow, her gaze drifting to the ceiling as she spoke. "Symkaria... My homeland. Have you ever heard of it?"

Wanda nodded slowly. "A small country in Eastern Europe, right? Bordering Latveria. I heard it's been through a lot of turmoil."
