The tension was palpable. Each one of the Watch felt as if it was up to them to finish this confrontation. But for all of the debate that was going on, none of them seemed able to pull the trigger. With his fangs in full view, the Red Death snarled his reply to something Victoria had said, "Actually, I find the blood of the young to be the sweetest of all: untainted by the world in which you mortals live. Untouched by evil, until now!"
Unable to vibrate through the Vampire's grip, Barry could do nothing but watch as his enemies fangs descended toward his jugular. Fortunately for the youngest member of the team, one man had not lost focus throughout the standoff. Spider-man was crouched and waiting for just the right moment, and this was it. Without hesitation, he shot an ample amount of web fluid toward the vampire. Murdock did not even see it coming, for he was entirely too entranced by the rapid pulse that he felt booming from the young manâs wrist. The next thing any of them knew, the blast had hit its mark and ensnared the vampire, covering his gaping maw in webbing. Seeing an opportunity, Victoria rounded on Paige, who, along with Tessa and Norrin, was standing just outside the door watching in frustration. Filled with rage, the pale woman spat, âYou want to help? Fine, get to it!â The next thing Husk knew she was being telekinetically picked up and hurled at the hell-spawn. Knowing what had to be done, Paige extended her now wooden fingers into as much of a claw-like configuration as she could manage, and readied herself for the impact. In a split second it was over. The young heroâs wooden fingers pierced the soft flesh of the monster, and as soon as they came in contact with the devilâs heart, he exploded and then disintegrated into a fine ash. Her momentum carried her through the beast and across the room, and Barry fell to the floor, now safe from the villain.
