One second I'm standing inside the museum as alarms blare around me, searching for somewhere private I can change into my Spider-Woman gear, and the next minute I'm standing outside in an alleyway next to Peter. I look around, perplexed by my situation. Peter looks just as confused as I do, which makes me slightly relieved. Still, it makes absolutely no sense.

[color=ec008c]"Okay,"[/color] I close my eyes and try to get my bearings, [color=ec008c]"did I just stroke out for a minute or two or did we just magically appear outside the museum by no means of our own."[/color]

[color=0054a6]"I..."[/color] 

Before Peter can say anything else, he doubles over and vomits all across the alley floor. I rub his back sympathetically and grimace from the sights and smells of the inside of my boyfriend's stomach.

Gagging slightly, I say, [color=ec008c]"Oh-gah-come on, Peter. You know I c-gah-n't be around vomit."[/color]

[color=0054a6]"Sorry,"[/color] he pants as he finishes. [color=0054a6]"Whatever happened seriously messed with my equilibrium."[/color]

[color=ec008c]"Yea, I'm a little dizzy myself."[/color]

Which is weird, because ever since I was bit by the spider I can do like quintuple backflips and not feel a thing. So whatever is inside is either super fast, or has some sort of weird teleportation abilities. Either way, I'm willing to bet they're stealing the Khandaqi riches we were just looking at. Looks like a job for Spider-Woman if I ever saw one.

[color=ec008c]"Okay, I'm gonna go back in and try and figure out what's going on,"[/color] I tell Peter as I take my costume out of my pack, spotting a convenient dead-end alley where I can change. [color=ec008c]"I'll let you know what I find once I'm inside."[/color]

I change, constantly afraid someone is gonna turn down the alley and catch me half naked with a Spider-Woman mask on. I'd be less worried about getting caught as a superhero and more worried about them throwing me in Ravencroft. Such is the life of a vigilante. Maybe Peter can design me a suit that just magically appears on me. Maybe some nanobots or something. 

[color=ec008c][i]Yea, fat chance, Stacy.[/i][/color]

Once I'm suited up, I fire a webline through a shattered window of the museum, and yank myself into the building. 

What I find I mostly do not understand. Scattered around the room are a group of what appear to be Kingpin or Maggia men, all just seemingly hanging out. What they're watching is the really puzzling sight. 

In the middle of the room, a giant column of sand snakes up. As it rises toward its peak, it forms the torso, arms, and head of a man. But not just any man. No, I'm staring at Flint Marko, enforcer for the Maggia, and up until very recently a normal dude. On the ground lays a woman decked out in red and yellow, being pummeled by Marko's fist. Or at least where Marko's fist should be. Instead, his arm ends in a sledgehammer made of sand.

I swear to god I have the weirdest life.

[color=ec008c][b]"Hey, Marko!"[/b][/color] I call out to the mafia strongman. [color=ec008c][b]"I mean I've heard of getting sand in your shorts, but this just seems like overkill!"[/b][/color]

[color=aba000][b]"Ah!"[/b][/color] he smiles. [color=aba000][b]"The hero I was lookin' for! Looks like I get to kill two superheroes today insteadah one! It's my lucky day."[/b][/color]

[color=ec008c][b]"Flint, I'm gonna level with you,"[/b][/color] I scoff as I awing towards his arm, hoping to knock it away from the other hero sprawled out on the ground, [color=ec008c][b]"I would never consider a day lucky if I woke up looking like that."[/b][/color]

I make contact with his hammer hand, and it explodes into sand particles. When I hit the ground, my spider sense explodes, but far too late. The sand that was his fist slithers off the ground and delivers an uppercut to me that has me seeing stars. I fly briefly through the air and hit the marble floor of the museum hard.

[color=ec008c][b]"Ugh,"[/b][/color] I grunt to the other costumed hero. [color=ec008c][b]"Any time you wanna help out, you're more than welcome to."[/b][/color]
