[b][color=ed1c24]"Uh, so."[/color][/b], I begin, clearing my throat and trying to sound the least like the weenie that I truly am. [color=ed1c24][b]"Sandy's clearly not going to be a problem anymore if SHIELD has a hold on him. I mean, if they can hold him. Not that I don't have any faith in SHIELD, I mean, I don't..."[/b][/color]

I nervously laugh. 

[color=ed1c24][b]"Hoo, boy. Deep breaths, Spidey." [/b][/color]

Looking back at a clearly confused Cap, I shrug. 

[b][color=ed1c24]"What I'm trying to say is, um, I'm sure it'll be fine. You and the big guns'll probably have the guy that hired Sandman in custody by dinner. And while I'd love to stay and help clean things up, chances are that if I stick around any longer, some idiot with a camera is gonna send footage of me being here to the Bugle and I'm going to end up being blamed for all of this. Especially given that Marko and I are usually tussling mano-a-mano. So... we done, here? Uh, sir?"[/color][/b]

I don't think awkward begins to cover the spectrum of emotions that I just experienced in that one sentence.

Also, the duck is still here and I'm still trying to get ahold of myself.

His name [i]is[/i] Harold, right?

Captain America looked the younger hero up and down. He knew that quiver in the kid's voice. He had somewhere to be, more than likely with someone important. Realistically, Spider-Man should stick around. He's in this, one way or another. Steve figured whoever hired Marko was probably watching them at this very moment. That means Spider-Man is a marked man, same as Steve and the Duck.

Still, Steve knew that if Sharon was waiting for him, he'd be as anxious as the younger man was to get out of here. He nodded to Coulson, who took a case out of the SHIELD transport he arrived in. The agent opened it, and from the case Steve pulled two SHIELD communicators. He tossed one to Spider-Man, [color=slateblue]"Sure thing, Spider-Man. But take this. If my gut is right, we're going to be in touch. I doubt whoever hired Marko will let you out of his web now."[/color]

Steve handed the other one to the Duck, [color=slateblue]"You too...uh...what's your name?"[/color]
