A rejected actress

The symbiote had shown Black Cat a memory of MJ getting a role on Broadway, and then a list of names of everyone who had auditioned for that same role. Most of them were nobodies, with little to no information about them online. But, there was the name of one prominent Broadway actress on the list, one who almost looked like an older MJ; Sierra Boggess. Perfect.

Ardour swung through the city, heading to Sierra's apartment. She landed on the side of the building, and went around looking into the windows. Then, peeking through some curtains, she saw the redheaded actress under the covers of her bed. She looked very peaceful, but that was all about to change.

Ardour jimmied open the window and snuck inside, quietly walking up to Sierra. With a swift hit, Sierra wouldn't be waking up soon. She grabbed the, now ****, body in a fireman's carry over the shoulder. Then she slipped back out through the window and swung away, just as the first rays of sunlight were illuminating the city.

Ardour took the actress back to her apartment, tying Sierra to a chair in her panic room. She left the room to grab one MSC-X serum, and a syringe. If her knowledge of the **** was correct, it would allow her to convince Sierra to do something, but you had to start small and build off of it for the most effective results. It was essentially a mind control ****.

She went back into the panic room, filling the syringe with the pink liquid inside the MSC-X test tube, and then she woke up her captive. She saw Sierra blink and shake her head as she woke up, realisation slowly covering her face as she realised she wasn't in her room, that she was tied to a chair, and then she made eye contact with Ardour.

"What?!" Sierra screamed, "Who are you? Where am I?"

"It's alright, calm down." Ardour said, then injected Sierra with the syringe. Almost instantly Sierra goes into a trance-like state where her eyes become clouded and vacant. This was Ardour's chance.
