The Almost Tragic Tale Of Betty Brant

For longest time all anyone could remember,

was Betty, her boyfriend, and her weak little brother,

soon as they often do, her relationship with her boyfriend did ember,

and sought to break herself from his smother.

But Her brother so delicate in nature soon fell in trouble with that brute.

and debts were needed to be collected.

But days dragged on and he did not pay, and then came that man of ill-repute.

The boy had no money and stomping was started, beaten to death he was while mom, protected.

Her mother ended up in the hospital she was in a coma, lightly- her brain had a bruise.

Betty was by her side, caring for her and worrying all along for the bills piles did climb

With the goons coming back to Betty and make a reminder, she had to drop out of school,

and beg for her mother's job just to be able to pay off the debt and medical bills and make a dime.

The Tyrant who ran the newspaper her mother worked for, gave in but demanded much from her.

While she worked so hard and efficient, her mother died and Betty had hardly a moment to grieve.

Time was a blur at the Bugle, but Betty kept up with the pace, Soon she earned her Despots Heart.

Then over time she did notice,a man who looked like her thug but was gentle is he as she percieves

She noticed some more that he was a good man, worth taking time to know, and well seemed safe.

Peter was his name, and he took pictures of Spider Man, a man her boss didn't like.

She felt her spine go stiff as her boss started his tiff, she stood up for peter and made boss chafe.

Peter noticed her then, and the conversations flowed, it was so easy, they just seemed so alike.

Next thing you know, Peter and Betty, Betty and Peter, they were an item, a couple, a thing.

But Peter was so nice That Betty tended to worry, he photographed danergous crooks for money.

Then Came the Enforcers, Dangerous lot, claming her brothers debt, what horrible crooks.

She knew if wasn't safe, and she wanted to protect sweet Peter, she left town like breeze on a wing

In a desperate move Betty hired Doc. Octopus to break Glaxton outta jail, to kill the thugs all.

But because it was a villain helping a villain, Spider-Man intervened, it was tense, Betty in the fight

The battle became even worse at that moment, Glax dove, took a bullet for her and laid in a sprawl.

When Glaxton, Betty's friend laid dead on the floor, Betty looked up at Spidey in Spite.

Swearing to get him when the time was right. She left, drained and almost in a crawl.

She returned to her job, but it just didn't seem the same. And soon back was into a mess.

Back was Doc. Ock, and now so her ex, and the Sinister Six.

But in comes Spider Man (Can you guess who he is?) It's Peter Parker, takes little to assess.

And though he defeated all those who wanted to hurt Betty, still she was in conflict.

And in real life Betty became jealous, of Peter's female friends, she thought he two-timed her,

And so she dated another man, a new reporter, named Ned Leeds.

But this was not to end well, in the long run at least, for she never would go further if she to predict

Fast forward, a few years or whatever, the relationship with Peter soured and she Married Ned

For years at the beginning it was great but Ned kept hard at being a great reporter,he was conflict

Framed as Hobgoblin he later masqueraded himself to be the villain to attack Flash, who fled.

By this time someone was hired to kill and assume the Hobgoblin identity that Ned had stole.

Betty had had too much and so, she had a complete breakdown and hallucinated a little.

Betty soon found herself in the Hands of a cult called Students of Prey, all they sought was Control

She was almost gone til Spidey, Flash and Rev. Tollier made Betty better til she no more brittle.

Eventually Betty transformed liked pupai to butterly, from tragic to terrific, she was no more a slave

She began to realize her potential, and that she could stand on her own. She left her job as clerk

and took the leap to reporter, she became independent, killed those who killed, she was brave!

And to this day under the tyrant boss she still works

She also knows it's Peter Who is Spider Man, and all those times he was the one who'd saved.

She fights crime and stays single, not because there's no date there, because she's not lonely

and she's not looking for the other half of her self anymore. She knows where it is, inside where it was all along!
