I was just hanging there on my little silk thread, while this random metahuman, who happened to crash into the giant snake demon, wrestled with that same monster. I actually was glad that I wasn’t the one being chased or beaten up or whatever. I had had enough of that crap already, and it’s only been going on since the beginning of this week! It’s someone else’s turn to be the punching bag.

[b]"Whenever you're ready, Spider Girl!"[/b] The silver-clad metahuman announced to me as he was slammed into the ceiling by the giant snake. [b]"Give it...whatever it is that you do!"[/b]

Spider Girl? Is he insinuating that I’m, like, sixteen or something? I’m about ready to graduate (hopefully) from college. That at least makes me a young adult, not some stupid, emotional teenager who is a slave to their own vampire fetishes. Two can play at this game.

“From where I’m hanging, it looks like you’re doing quite fine, Astro-Boy. Although, I think you’re supposed to beat up the giant snake, not the other way around.”

From the expression on the metahuman’s face, it almost looked as if he was going to throw out some curse words in my direction, if the snake wasn’t taking his full attention.

“Fine! What do you want me to do? I’m not strong enough to fight that thing. I can’t take a bite from that thing like you did (although my healing factor might allow me to survive, but I rather not test it at the moment). All the things left that I can do is perform athletic and acrobatic feats and shoot webs. What good would that do for us?”

Then an idea struck me. Webs! Isn’t spider silk supposed to be stronger than steel? And we’ll have a larger quantity available for us, too!

[OOC: A Note from the Author – I know the difference between “stronger than steel” and “bullet proof”]

“Oh, um, I have an idea. So could you just hold onto that creature for a little bit longer? Thanks!”

I then dashed down the tunnel in the opposite direction of where that metahuman and the snake were playing “rodeo”. I kind of felt bad that I had to leave him behind with the giant snake, but it will make the ruse more believable if he didn’t know, right?

Once I went far enough down the tunnel so that I was out of their line-of-sight, I leapt up onto the wall, clinging to it with my wall-crawling ability, or whatever you wish to call it. I then shot a web line to the other side of the tunnel wall.

“How hard could it be to build a spider-web?” I thought.
