Yea....sorry I'm gonna nix this one. The fact is Spider-Man isn't even a thing, Eddie Brock as 616 knows him is *definitely never going to be a thing* in this reality, and Venom isn't close to showing up in this game, I'm gonna have to say this one isn't going to be possible.
I should have a post up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay


Every few swings or so, I take a look over my shoulder and watch as the lumbering giant smashes the streets and buildings of New York in her wake. I know I watch too many movies, because I almost think this is cool. Sure, she can literally squash me like I'm my namesake, and she's doing untold millions in property damage, but I'm fighting a kaiju person! Who wouldn't be slightly enthused by the notion.

I need help, don't I?

"Hello?" I answer my phone after a few rings, diving down at the top of my swing to dodge a tossed mailbox that's send my way. I web it to the side of the building it collides with to ensure it doesn't fall on anyone below.

"Holy crap you've got an 'Amazing Colossal Man' on your hands, babe!" Peter's enthused voice comes through the other end. "How strong is she?"

"Way too strong for me to take down on my own, if I'm being honest. But I gotta try."

"You should totally 'Empire Strikes Back' her."

That is...not a bad plan if I'm being completely honest. The problem is getting in close enough to web her legs up. She may not be the fastest in the world at this height, but she's quick enough. And one well-timed swat will have me plastered on the side of a skyscraper like it's a windshield. That would be most uncool.

Unfortunately, my idea of drawing her to Central Park seems unlikely. We're too far away, and she's just tearing way too much of the city up. The longer this goes on, the likelier it is that people are going to die.

With a twist in midair, I change direction and charge the giant criminal. The move catches her off guard, and I'm able to land on her right shoulder, "Hi! I'm your inner morals! You should give up your ways of crime and give yourself up!"

"Get off of me!" she growls in rage and attempts to swat me off. Instead I clamber down her back, and she tries in vain to reach me.

"God, I'm gonna be honest," I yell to her from safety, "my enemies tell me I'm annoying a lot...but this is definitely the first time when I totally agree with them."

Instead of keeping to grab me, she merely backs up towards the nearest building and tries to scratch me off like a bear on a tree. I drop off, and have to move quickly to get out of the way of her stomping boots. I dive under one of them as she's about to bring it down on me, blocking out the sun. She drives her hands down on the street where I land. She merely finds some concrete...as well as a web grenade. It explodes on impact, keeping her stuck to the street for now.

"You have got to be kidding me!" she looks up, her giant face filled with rage. "This won't hold me for long."

She's right of course, the webbing is already separating from the street. Once it does, it won't be long before she'll be able to get her hands apart as well.

"What's your deal, anyway?" I ask her, firing some more webbing onto her hands. "I've never met you before so you can't be after me!"

"All I have to do is kill one of your kind," she growls in response, her focus on getting herself freed. "That's the deal."

So she's working for someone else. That certainly thickens the plot to a scary degree. The last thing I need is some big bad sending giant women all day and night.

"That is not a good-Crap!"

The web cocoon around her hands explodes outward, showering me in the strands. It catches even my spider sense off guard, and I'm unable to get out of the way when the giant snags me. She begins to squeeze me, and I feel like a tube of toothpaste with the cap kept on. Her face looms before me like the man in the moon got uncomfortably close. Luckily, I manage to slip my hand through one of her fingers and fire a shot of webbing into her eye.

She recoils, falling into the building and dropping me. The apartment complex shutters under the weight, but holds.

Suddenly, as she regains her footing, the sky above the two of us explodes, and a shattered hole appears out of thin air. It wavers and pulsates with some kind of weird energy I've never seen before.

"Oh come on, what now?" I mutter to myself.

Almost as if to answer me, Wonder Woman blasts out of the opening and drives her knee into the shoulder of the giant, knocking her away from the building. The other superhero lands next to me, and I geek out a little bit, "Oh man I am so on the girl-power teamup streak."

Wonder Woman looks at me suspiciously, "Sorry. Hey, can you take care of her for a sec? I'm pretty sure that building is gonna collapse and I'm gonna go save anyone inside it."

I fire a webline and yank myself towards the upper floors of the apartment complex, "Kaythanksbyenicetomeetyou!"

I can be there in a boom tube or two. If you want.


The more the merrier. I figure the Fantastic Four will showbup at some point as well
Well, anyone who wants to help Gwen out is more than welcome to.


"I said put your hands up!" the Bodega Bandit points his arm, hidden in a jacket pocket, towards the owner of the store. "I'm not kidding, man! I'll shoot you if I have to!"

"Will you, though, Bandit?" I say, leaning on the side of the door frame. I was on my way to band practice with the girls before coming across the Bandit's latest misdeed. A quick change into my costume in the alley way, and here I am. "Because I'm almost certain all you have in your pocket is your hand pointed into a gun-shape."

I've run into the Bandit three or four times in the last month, in increasingly embarrassing situations for the would-be stickup artist. The first few times I've crossed his path, I was the definition of annoyed. Here I am, desperately trying to keep this city from tearing itself apart with a gang war, and this guy is constantly sticking up Dunkin Donuts and Big Belly Burger.

But I'll be honest, the more I've seen him, the sadder I've gotten for him. I don't know if I'm going soft or what, but I pity the guy.

He turns to me, his arm trembling, "You! How do you always show up where no one wants you!?"

"Ouch, Bandit," I shake my head at him. "Hurtful. Super hurtful."

"This time you're out numbered though!" he smiles a big, goofy smile he probably thinks is threatening. "Bandito! Get her!"

My spider sense goes off, and I turn to find a portly English Bulldog scamper around the corner of two aisles, a domino mask that matches the Bandit's tied to his face. As he turns, his paws come out from under him, and he slides helplessly to my feet. On his back, he looks around, before locking eyes with me. Instead of a snarl, his tongue falls out of his mouth, and he looks from me to his belly, longing for some pets.

"Oh my god he's adorable!" I squeal and bend down, scratching the chubby fellow as he squirms with joy. "Who's a good pupper!? You're a good pupper. Are you an accessorie to a crime? Yes you are."

The Bandit, clearly defeated, slinks down to the floor, "Aw come on, Bandito. You're supposed to be my partner in crime."

I give the bordering-on-pathetic, Hamburglar-dressed "criminal" a once over as I continue to pet the dog, "Bandit, why are you doing thing, huh? You're clearly a smart guy. Well, smart enough to know you can't beat me, which is apparently saying something in the New York criminal world. I've got real, dangerous guys to take care of out there. You know this life isn't for you."

"Yea, well," he sniffles slightly, "I just wanna show my old man who's boss. Say's I'm a wimp. That I'm not tough enough."

"Listen, man," I pat the dog one last time on the head before standing and doing the same to his master, "this is not the way to do that. You want to teach him you're tough? Go take a few Krav Maga lessons or something. This is just going to get you thrown in a psych ward, or some clerk who's been robbed too many time will end up shooting you."

"Y-yea," he stammers. "I'm clearly not gonna be a great criminal like him."

"No, buddy, no you're-Wait, what do you mean like him?"

Before he can answer, however, the ground rumbles below me. I look around as backs of chips and cookies fall off the shelves around me. Bandito hops up clumsily and scampers under his owner's legs, whimpering at the sudden tremor.

"Okay, you don't have any super powers I don't know about, do you?" I look over my shoulder, seeing people running down the street in a panic. Their screams, muffled by the windows and doors that separate us, are evidence enough of something bad going down on the streets of New York.

"No," he responds, his eyes going wide. "No powers here."

"Get out of here," I say to the Bandit, his dog, and the clerk.

Moving out of the store, I find myself in mass hysteria. Everyone is running, pushing, and climbing over those that fall down. Cars honk their horns, trying to get moving in the gridlock. A few have already crashed on the sidewalk, their drivers abandoning them and taking to foot. Next to me, I see a mother carrying her toddler trip over the curb. I manage to catch her and make sure she can escape unharmed.

"Spider-Woman!" one of the fleeing citizens yells. "Watch out! She's coming!"

"Who the hell is 'she'!?" I yell back far too late. The man has turned the corner, and as he does, the booming tremors continue to get closer and closer.

Turning back towards the direction they are running from, I see a shadow emerge from around the corner, and the tremors gain both strenght and consistency. Suddenly a hand full of searching fingers comes around the corner almost ten stories up, followed by a large, booted foot crashing down on the pavement, crushing cars and splintering concrete. Before long, the entire form of the figure stands before me.

"Well, you don't see that every day," is all that comes out of my mouth as I stare up at the giant, yellow-clad redhead standing in front of me.



"Oh crap."

My spider sense explodes as the giantess picks up a pickup truck and tosses it at me like a freaking football. It spirals, making a terrible whistle as it speeds towards me. I web myself up to the nearest vertical surface, and run up it until I'm about eye-height with the woman. Kicking off the building into a swing, I attempt to close the gap, but her reach is too long. I barely go into a controlled dive in time to dodge the swipe of a massive mitt.

When I hit the ground, I roll and spring off the ground, bringing myself directly over her two feet. As I soar over them, I lay down a line of webbing, hoping to keep her in one place. It doesn't, of course. She merely pivots on her heels, snapping the line like a thread.

"Do you think that's going to stop me, Spider?" the giant booms at me from above. "You may be quick, but now you're going to see what a spider really feels like!"

She tries to stomp me like a bug. I yank myself out of the way with a web, and go to swing off. I don't know how I'm going to stop her, but I need to draw her away from buildings where she's going to do more damage. Central Park it is.

Hopefully I can get some help, or an idea, by the time I get there.

I have yet to see a movie where I can honestly say I enjoyed Michael B. Jordan as an actor. I'd be quite happy if he disappeared altogether.


I question your taste in film.

Haha
