Chapter 6: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...And A Little Mayhem

Recap:

"The white-haired girl!" Ghost wriggled in delight. That's right; I had a promise to keep.

:Oh yeah! I'm sorry, thought you were a creeper:

…

:I have my moments:

More typing, I had to be careful not to use 'we'.

:I did like talking to you, but I never asked your name:

As if for dramatic effect, there was a twenty second pause.

:You can call me Felicia ;):

This girl has a name that sounds awfully –wait. Oh my god!

"Another one?!"

"Yep!"

:I had a feeling it would something girly, but badass. So…how did you get my number? Just curious:

…

:The gallery's website:

"Dope"

"Shush"

There was a giggle from our little blue bundle.

:Neat-O. Hey, if you don't mind me being presumptive, did you contact me because you want to hang out?:

"What about-"

"I'm working on it, shush"

:…maybe…:

"We'll be moving too fast if we go on an actual date, I was thinking that we could just hang out as if we were on a date"

Ghost hummed, then nodded, pleased.

:How does tomorrow at 3 sound?: I linked a Google Maps location with the text, and then waited.

Thirty grueling seconds passed before a reply came.

:Sounds good, I'll see you then ;):

"She really likes the winky-face"

I burst out laughing.

Claire…

I shifted irritably under the sheets and blankets, ignoring the soft but deep voice calling my name in favor of falling back asleep.

Claire…

"Mmmmrmmm, no go away" I buried my face into the pillow, pressing it's plushy sides against each side of my head as if that would actually deter the 'voice' from nagging me.

Claire…

"No"

Yes

I still have not yet acknowledged just where and from whom the voice was coming, so I persisted in trying to sleep some more. And of course, as one would guess, that was a bad idea.

"Claire!"

"Aiiyeee!" I flew out from under the covers, my mind not quite in sync with my body as I easily wrapped myself up in a cocoon like fashion and landed with a hard thud on the floor. Groaning, I rolled around for maybe a full minute before the culprit that disrupted my beautiful slumber snaked around into view. His teeth bared in a big grin that only his species in particular were known for. "Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty"

With a childish pout, I flipped him off. That only made him grin wider. "Oh hey now, that's not very nice. You should be thanking me" Ghost snickered, proceeding to help free me from my 'cocoon'. While he did so, I was racking my brain trying to find the reason as to why I should have been grateful for him just about screeching in my ear for me to wake up. After sitting there dumbly for a full thirty seconds, roughly around the same time I was freed from the sheets and blankets, I remembered. With a yelp that was a mix of both exasperation and guilt I ran to the bathroom and started the shower.

"You feel like a terrible person now don't you?"

"Shush" I stripped free from my undergarments as the shower warmed up, hopping in as soon as it did so. "What time is it?" as I asked this, my other little 'passenger' made herself known. Curious blue patches for eyes squinted as water splashed against them, the younger Klyntar almost instantly enjoying the sensation as she began to wriggle and splash water around playfully.

It took Ghost a few moments to answer what I had asked as he relishes the sight of his progeny's happiness. "It's only 9:20 a.m. I just wanted to wake you bright and early so we can have a chance to get ready and perhaps show the little one around the city"

I grunted in approval. "Fair enough" after applying the conditioner, I then grabbed the soap. As I went about lathering myself with the white bar, I noticed that my little blue bundle of joy had stopped playing with the water flow and was now staring at me with bemusement. Her blobby head tilted to one side as she studied me. What's that look for? I asked more to myself, but due to our bond, Ghost heard it too. The white Klyntar shifted his focus to his progeny, and then to me. Almost too abruptly, he laughed.

"She's studying your form because your physiology differs from Mason"

"Ah" I blushed, suddenly shy of being in my birthday suit as I looked away from Ghost and the little blue Klyntar beside him. "Makes sense, newborn symbiotes are as curious as kittens aren't they?" I reached over and pat Ghost's offspring.

"Indeed they are"

"Well then, it's only a matter of time before she asks about the birds and the bees" I replied cheekily, earning a chuckle from my Other.

"I'd give it a week-" my symbiote grunts suddenly, whipping his head over to face our passenger as she started to act strangely. Unnerved by her movements, I immediately turned off the water with the assumption that the heat was actually beginning to bother her. Alas, it seemed to not help at all as the little blue symbiote continued to make jerking movements as if she was trying to detach herself. Now why in the hell-? I looked over to see that Ghost was just as perturbed as I was. Both of us were too shocked to move as the product of our bond finally detached herself and landed with a 'splotch' onto the floor of the shower. Still too dumbfounded to move, we continued to watch as the blue symbiote's form began to shift with fluid swiftness.

"What are -Aiyee!" I jumped backward and slipped, Ghost thankfully having stellar reaction time as he cushioned my fall with our symbiotic wings. My mouth fixed in an expression of awe and fright as I saw just what -or who- our progeny has become.

"Hi Mommy!" the spitting image of myself waved, grin almost as wide as a Klyntar's.

Now, I have been through some shit. But this was nearly too much.

"Ghost…" I gazed over at the white blob who appeared less frightened and more impressed. "Any ideas?" I turned my focus back onto our 'little blue bundle', whom of which was no longer very little or blue anymore. The symbiote in disguise still grinning as she turned her attention onto the rest of the bathroom, all too eagerly going about picking everything up and studying it.

"I thought at first that perhaps she hadn't inherited so much of your genetic material and thus would require a host like your typical symbiote. However…" Ghost murmured, pausing only to watch our progeny play with the sink. "She may have gained significantly more"

"Enough to take human form? And how long do you suppose she's going to be able to maintain it?" I asked, watching as she moved on from the sink and out into the living room. I wasn't worried, we often drew the curtains together because we hated peeping toms. And I will tell you, there were too many of those in the borough of Manhattan.

I sighed. As long as she stays in our apartment room, we should be okay, I picked myself up off of the symbiotic cushions, wrapping myself in a towel as I came out into the living room. Still naked, our bond-child made herself comfy sitting cross-legged on the floor as she looked through one of my sketchbooks.

"Hmmm…" Ghost clicked his tongue, then eyed me teasingly. "I know, but I want to hear it from you. Test your symbiote knowledge"

With a deep breath, I recalled the snippets of info I got from the meetings that took place in Dr. Mitchell's house during our childhood years and the tests we had in one of SHIELD's many compounds. I also recollected some fanfiction from my previous life. Confident with what I could remember, I voiced my speculations out loud. "Symbiotes can regenerate the tissues of their host, ensuring longevity and good health. Given the amount and what kind of genetic material they have access to, they can adopt a form for an x-amount of time provided they find themselves separated from their host…" I looked back over to see the mirror image playfully strut over to the kitchen and help herself to a thing of orange juice. "Symbiotes can and often reproduce asexually, but-" I stopped myself, eyes going wide as I had an epiphany. Ghost saw this, I could tell when he gave me a satisfied nod. "What if she was given enough so that she'd have a lot more than just my memories and appearance, she could very well be a balanced fusion of both of us. And by balanced I mean…"

"A hybrid" Ghost finished.

"Yeah…" I walked into the bedroom, plucking out articles of clothing and slipping them on with little focus. Sure I could have had Ghost morph into something but we preferred to wear actual clothes during the day, reserving such an ability for the 'night life'. "That" walking back out, we found our bond-child munching greedily on a slice of white bread. Once she looked up and saw us, she grinned again, scarfing down the last of the bread.

"Ooo, ooo! Are we going somewhere?!" the torso and the legs of her naked form rippled, changing color and shape as 'clothes' appeared. "I'm coming with!" bounding over ecstatically, she zoomed right by us and toward the door. Not even glancing at us, she yanked the door open and left it open in her rush.

With combined groans we followed after our 'daughter', sure to properly close the door behind us.

It was 1 p.m and things hadn't gotten any less hectic. Lets just say, I was glad I didn't have anything on my work schedule for that day because the four hours that had passed so far almost felt like a whole day. Every person, every building, every animal, and every object had to be picked up and examined by curious eyes. Any people our bond-child approached either thought she was adorable, annoying, or suspicious. Especially with the police. We had to pull her away from several cops because they had their hands on their guns. Woo boy, that was real fun. The only times where we could somewhat relax were when she was stroking a stray cat, dog, pigeon, or even a rat. Okay maybe not so much for the rats, we'd immediately need to find the nearest sink to thoroughly wash her hands whenever she handled one of the little buggers.

Thankfully, she seemed to slow down to a reasonable pace once she felt satisfied with the amount of information she had gathered in that time. "This place is so big and crowded, even more so than that bunker me and Mason were in" a soft breeze blew by, cooling down the three of us as we finally sat down outside a random book store. "But somehow, it's not as chaotic" our 'daughter' studied a couple as they walked by, her curiosity matching theirs as they gawked at both at the both of us. Likely assuming we were twin sisters. Oh, if they only knew.

"New York City is really one of the country's hotspots for criminal activity, whether it be regular criminals or supervillains"

"Like that red symbiote we fought"

I snorted whilst Ghost snickered through our link. My Other easily sensed my growing agitation at the thought of the sociopathic yahoo. "Yeah, him. Ugh, I hope SHIELD found someplace that can hold the slippery little bastard -and be discreet about it"

"Why do you say that Mommy?"

"I'm sure you have already gathered that the main reason Agent Burns wanted to give you up was because he was certain keeping you would put you in danger. We have solid reason to believe there's a spy in our ranks, so if Fury or any of the other higher-ups are smart -which I know for damn sure they are- they'll use utmost caution when dealing with Carnage. Because if they're not careful, the same people who had plotted to abduct me will go after him…" I lowered my voice, more mindful of my volume as someone sat closeby. "And while I don't particularly like him very much, his capture could result in our 'friends' successfully gaining the knowledge they aimed to get on their previous attempt"

"Or maybe if the 'secret party' does get him and they aren't careful, he will get loose. And he will cause widespread panic" our bond-child deduced. We nodded, proud to hear that not only was she on the same page, but she could add solid input to back it up. She was literally born yesterday, and aside from her little questioning quest she had earlier, she was maturing relatively quick. We were both proud and startled at just how much she could potentially grow intellectually and emotionally over the course of the day…

The week…

The month…

The year…

As we pondered just what the future had in store for us and our daughter, we failed to notice that said individual was trying to get our attention. And upon seeing that waving her hand in front of our face wasn't working, she made due with rolling up a thing of newspaper and whacking us upside the head with it. "Yowch!"

"I'm sorry, I thought you two were going catatonic" the look-a-like hybrid apologized sheepishly.

I think your Space Cadet tendencies have officially rubbed off on me

Oh shush you

"We -I'm sorry, just was thinking of the future is all" I murmured that last bit, ashamed that I wasn't quite in the here-and-now. If I -if we- were to guide the little one, we needed to be in the present. "Did you need something?"

"Actually, I do…" brown eyes identical to my own peered at us. "I need a name"

All that time, and we hadn't even given her a name. Between me and Ghost, we always mentally addressed her as 'little blue', 'little blue blob', 'our progeny', etc. during the time after her spawning. Ah yes, now we both felt like terrible people. "That you do, we're very sorry" I hung my head, Ghost wriggling uncomfortably beneath the fabric of the actual clothes we were wearing. "Now that it's been brought up...we don't have anything at the moment"

"It's alright, I was thinking that perhaps I could name myself"

"What did you have in mind?"

Her eager grin spread wide. "Perhaps something to honor our family line"

"I take it you're referring to your 'father's' line?" made sense, she may have been half human, but it was clear her symbiote half was the one taking the wheel indubitably. The grin said it all.

"I may not phase through walls…"

AwwwwwWWWW!

Be quiet

"But...I can do this" double-checking to be sure no one was looking in our direction, she levitated the newspaper an inch above the table before noiselessly setting it back down. Her caution being rewarded by no one even glancing in our direction. "And amongst your combined memories I couldn't have helped but have been drawn to one memory of a specific ghost movie"

And because she just loved to surprise us, her 'human' eyes suddenly flashed to their original blue, mine doing the same -from what I could see out of my peripheral vision from the reflective surface of the metal table we were seated at- as images flashed through our mind. Images of me and Ghost watching the original Poltergeist, complete with our daughter's voice in the background sharing her opinions and contentment with the decision. It only lasted for a few moments, but the impact was felt. Our progeny could communicate with us psychically, sharing thoughts and images and even emotions through this newfound bond. Sure, symbiotes could sense each other -related or not- but I didn't recall Venom ever having a psychic bond with Carnage. Or any of his spawn for that matter. This was certainly an interesting development.

"That was...neat, real neat" I said, for lack of more eloquent terms.

Our newly named 'daughter' Poltergeist nodded in agreement.

We spent perhaps close to an hour touring the rest of Bronx before moving on. Considering where we decided to rest earlier and where we ended up after that -which was close to a half hour taxi drive away from our destination- we had little time for exploring as we made a near beeline for the cafe where we were supposed to meet up with Felicia. Thankfully, even with traffic, we were able to get there at what appeared to be at the right time. As we approached the quaint little shop, we waved at whom we guessed was the white-haired girl -I mean, she waved first for crying out loud. Thing was, she now had blonde hair pulled up in a ponytail and her attire did not include any black. Instead she chose a less intimidating combination consisting of a tank-top and shorts. Her build also looked as if it had changed to, sporting a smaller and more lithe form. Upon closer inspection, we also saw that someone was seated behind her. Huh, it appears she brought someone...sorry bud, Ghost gave a disgruntled sigh in response to this, but kept quiet as we walked up to the two women.

"Claire, nice to see you again. And I see you brought your...sister?" Felicia tilted her head like a bemused cat.

"Actually, I'm her-"

We threw an arm around Poltergeist's shoulders, delivering a swift warning pinch to her arm. Whether she saw it or not, Felicia smiled when I answered:

"Yup, she's my twin!"

Smooth

Yeah, I'm so sure you could have done better

"Gee, I'm getting a 'the Shining' vibe just by looking at you two. Please, sit, you're making me nervous" even when saying that, we could tell the platinum blonde in disguise was being facetious. Her big smirk was a huge indication to that.

With a nod, we sat on one side of the table. Poltergeist being the closest to Felicia's acquaintance. "We couldn't help but notice that you also brought someone..." Polty said tactfully, holding out her hand to the strawberry blonde seated next to her, "What's your name friend?". Grey eyes stared amusingly at the hand, the owner of those eyes graciously shaking it with her own slender hand. I had to bite back a relieved sigh upon seeing that the woman was friendly and that Polty's social skills seemed to be improving.

"Tara Burns"

"Burns?" Poltergeist perked up with a smile. "Are you related to Mason Burns?"

Tara raised a brow. "He's my dad"

Oh…

Shit…

Son…

Although she looked as if she wanted to delve into that topic, our 'daughter' merely responded with a "I met him once or twice, he's a chill guy". And after that she remained quiet, instead looking interested in a pair of pigeons as they flew over a taxi and proceeded to shit on it. We all sat there, holding back our snickers as the driver cussed out the birds.

"So…" I drawled awkwardly. "Are you two sisters?" I was pretty damn sure Felicia wasn't at all related to Mason, but I would have liked to have known what her relationship with Tara was exactly. To answer my question, Felicia chuckled and shook her head.

"No, though it sure seems that way doesn't it?" she reached over to ruffle Tara's hair in a sisterly fashion. Tara groaned, but made no attempt to cut the gesture short.

"Damn it, Hardy" Mason's daughter then continued to grumble obscenities too low for passerby to hear. Both me and my Other blushed upon hearing the extensive vocabulary.

Satisfied with how flustered Tara got, Felicia then went on to explain. "She's a good friend of mine, and also my partner"

So hot

Shush!

"Business partner?" I found myself blurting out, no thanks to Ghost's influence. Felicia nodded. "What do you guys do?"

Before she could answer me, there was a crash at the intersection not even fifty feet away. All of us on our feet in an instant, mouths agape as the back door of a huge armored vehicle (that may have been at fault for the collision) flew off and revealed a massive grey figure as he stepped out into the sunlight. We seldom had any interactions with supervillains before we fought Venom a short while back, but that did not mean that we didn't know who the man in the armor was. Countless news reports made sure of that.

"Rhino" me and Felicia said simultaneously, complete with matching scowls. Tara and Polty were silent, but they didn't look too pleased at the sight of the criminal either.

"Should we-" Tara cut herself off, looking conflicted about what she was going to say next. A look from Felicia vanquished her doubts. "We should get the hell outta here" as soon as she said that, the two blondes ran down the street, opposite of where Rhino was. As they ran, I saw Felicia pull out her phone. Could she have been calling for Spider-Man? Or some other help?

"But what about-?!" Poltergeist squeaked when I grabbed her hand and ran into the cafe. Everyone was too busy looking out the windows to see the chaos that was unfolding at the intersection to notice us run past them and straight into the women's restroom. Body on autopilot, I stripped out of my regular clothes and let Ghost form over my skin, taking on the shape of the clothes I just stripped out of. It wasn't my first time having to change during the day, crime never was picky when it came to timing. However, it was my first time doing so for a supervillain. With time of the essence, I wrapped the clothes and shoes into a bundle and placed them in a bathroom stall along with my purse and phone -and had Ghost use a tendril to lock it on the other side because I'm paranoid. Satisfied, I ran out the bathroom with Polty right on my heels. As soon as we left the building, we checked to see if anyone was paying any attention to us and to see if Rhino was still at the intersection. He was, and was creating absolute havoc. With a grunt, I ran into the alley and rounded the corner, hidden from the light of day. Ghost needed no word of encouragement as he formed over me, changing us into the White Rabbit that people knew but may have not loved so much.

Witness to our transformation, Polty squealed with excitement and took on her natural symbiote form. Her colors were the same as when she was temporarily with Mason but the black markings on her body differed in shape and location making her look as if she was wearing a black bikini and boots. Her large and expressive blue eyes glistened green at the edges and she also now had white 'hair' that also seemed to have light green highlights. "Are we gonna kick some ass?! Please say yes!" she was practically bouncing as we scooped her up and flew out of the alley and over to where Rhino was terrorizing hapless citizens.

Immediately after landing, Polty just about flew out of our grasp as she rushed toward Rhino. The massive armored man only had time to merely glance in our direction before Poltergeist delivered a flying kick right into his face. Taking only a few seconds to recover, Rhino glared down at our progeny. "Why you little-!" the large fellow made to lunge at her, but backpedaled quickly as we sent a small barrage of needle projectiles in his direction. And although the needles failed in hitting any flesh, Rhino still got agitated.

"I'm not afraid of you, you symbiotic sluts!" with a scowl, he got down low into a charging stance.

Did he really need to call us sl-whoa! We flew upwards to avoid Rhino's charge.

Worry less about what he called us and focus more on what we're going to do to him for what he called us

I snorted. Fair enough, with our wings still pumping in an effort to keep us airborne, we turned and leered down at the aggressive supervillain. "Any good reason as to why you're causing so much trouble in broad daylight?"

"Maybe I just like the chaos" Rhino grinned behind the visor of his helmet as he got down low again.

"You won't be saying that once our back-up gets here, asshole" we hovered lower, encouraging him to charge us as we needles pricked up along the sides of our forearms. We were also mindful of Poltergeist, who was behind us, and the citizens that were behind her. How's your reaction time? We asked, wanting to test just how reliable our link was with our progeny. The blue symbiote hybrid sent a flurry of confidence and eagerness through. With a glance over our shoulder, we saw her blue-green tinted eyes glow faintly.

Seeing that we were 'distracted', Rhino charged at us. Ghost huffed at this, I'm almost offended that we don't even need to use our phasing on this yahoo

We should still be cautious though, I said through both our bond and with a murmur. Things seemed to be going too smoothly. And with what I knew vaguely about Felicia, provided she came to assist, the whole situation would be resolved in a matter of minutes. And then there was the variable of Tara. Just who was she? What was she capable of? Was she a part of some obscure Marvel universe?

However, such questions needed to wait, our attention needed elsewhere as Rhino zipped right below us again, careening toward Poltergeist instead. With a loud grunt, Polty sent two empty cars right into the man just as he was within a few feet of her. The force of it may have not been enough to send him flying, but it did send him skidding a healthy distance away from Polty and the scared citizens behind her. Despite gaining the upper hand with such an awesome tag-team effort, we (including Polty) knew that it was but a temporary reprieve. We needed to get the people that were either too injured or too scared to safety while Rhino recovered. And that wasn't very long.

"Poltergeist, use your telekinesis to move the injured! Find anyone that can help them, specifically paramedics, and contact the police!"

The phone should still be in the bathroom stall, please hurry little one, I sent through our link.

No sooner did the words and thoughts leave when then Poltergeist took action, the blue hybrid moving with great urgency as she transported all the injured away from Rhino. The massive man in the armor already on his feet and watching her efforts with a big grin. "Wow, I didn't peg you symbiotes as the heroic types. I know the blue one wanted to pick a fight, but you…" Rhino sneered as he turned to focus on us. "You, White Rabbit, I thought the boss said you liked the shadows. Oh well, let's see how you do against the big leagues" a portion of his helmet above his forehead slid down, three metallic horns protruding out of it as it covered his visored face. He didn't get into his charging stance, instead he did something that made me sweat under Ghost's protective layers. Clusters of tiny missiles and a couple of machine guns popped out of his armor.

Not good

Not good at all! We looked over to see that some people had gained enough sense to run away. But others were still there either gawking or with their phones out. Really?!

"Are you people fucking idiots?!" sure, there was probably good reason as to why they were still there -such as still being too scared to move- and that my outburst in all its profane glory was unwarranted and I should try for a more pleasant approach…

Yeah, right.

When we saw that they were still giving us sheep-eyed stares, we whipped out the teeth of my Other and roared at them. Yep, that proved 100% effective.

We may have traumatized them for life, especially the kids

Ask me if I care! With a growl, we increased the size of our wings and wrapped them around to shield us from two of the missiles as they collided with us. It would have been easier and less painful if we had phased through them sure, but if we had, the trajectory (whether it was homing or not) of the projectiles would have continued on and hit one or two of the apartments behind us. And since there were people watching out their windows, it was the more noble thing to do much to our chagrin. One thing we hated more than rockets to the ol' symbiotic tissue was the thought of casualties.

Rhino laughed as we winced in pain from the heat of the explosions and from the embarrassment of landing on our rump. "What's the matter, can't take the heat?!" he aimed his missiles, ready to fire at any sign of retaliation that we showed. And oh yes, we were very much going to retaliate.

"We can tolerate heat fairly well…" we bluffed. "It's little bitches in fancy high-tech battle armor that we can't stand!" we multiplied the size and density of our own tissue, ready to take the brunt of whatever else Rhino was going to throw at us as the man roared angrily and with passion.

But with life and all it's funny quirks, nothing hit us. Astounded by the anti-climax, we peeked through our shields to see Rhino staring dumbfounded at his missiles as they clicked and clunked, but wouldn't budge. We could also hear the 'Error, Malfunction Detected' coming from out of his suit. "Come on, piece of sh-!"

We watched in awe as a woman in a black catsuit with white fur clambered onto the back of him and planted a device near his head. With a grunt, our little white-haired ally gracefully leapt off of him as the device discharged and shut down his suit. And being the opportunistic symbiote that we were, we wasted no time in strutting toward him and ripping the front of his suit away. "Peek-a-Boo" we jeered and grabbed him by his thick neck, pulling the large man out of his suit. Without another word, we carelessly deposited him on the ground. And by that I mean we tossed his sorry ass aside.

Thinning our shields so they functioned more like thick tendrils, we wrapped Rhino up. "Thank you for the assist-" we nearly choked on our own words as the woman vanished from sight.

Is invisibility a power of hers?

No, no it's not. She's just...super stealthy, we looked around to see plenty of potential places that she might have ducked into.

But alas, Black Cat had disappeared into the shadows.

After talking with the police (and finding out that the vehicle that held Rhino was really remote controlled, so there was no driver to be held accountable) and double-checking that Rhino would not give them any trouble, we joined Poltergeist near an ambulance. She was still in symbiote form, petting a cat and speaking to some random kid. We let out a sigh of relief at seeing the tender exchange. That kid was calmer than most people would have been in front of a symbiote.

"Is that her?" the kid suddenly asked, pointing up at us. Without having to turn around to see whom he was speaking about, Polty chuckled.

"Yup, it is…" our hybrid daughter gazed at us from over her shoulder. "Mommy, this is Miles" she stood and grasped our shoulders. "Miles, this is White Rabbit"

"Nice to meet you ma'am" the kid smiled shyly and held out his hand.

We were about to shake it, but stopped once we heard a soft thud from on top of the ambulance. We looked up to see a pair of white lenses narrowed mirthfully at us.

"I came as fast as I could, I'm so glad to see you got this under control Whitey" Spider-Man front-flipped, landing expertly in front of our little group.

"We had help" we corrected with a shrug. "We don't want to be rude, but just where have you been?"

Spidey hung his head. "I was busy with Vulture. The fight would have lasted longer if he hadn't retreated…" he gave a nervous chuckle. "As much as I wanted to capture him, I was actually relieved when he flew away. Because while he is a threat…" Spidey's face scrunched underneath his mask. "I don't consider him to be as bad as Rhino. Destruction wise"

"How did you catch word of what was happening in this intersection?"

"A friend told me"

With a knowing look, we shook our head and held out our arms toward Poltergeist. While sad that we needed to leave, she allowed us to pick her up as we gave an experimental flap of our wings and then took flight. As we looked for a suitable hiding area to change back, we couldn't help but catch a glimpse of a winged figure as they glared at us and then retreated. We easily deduced that it was Vulture. But, just how long has he watched us? Questions continued to flood our mind, even spilling over to Poltergeist and making her groan in irritation. As we finally found someplace that was a reasonable distance to the cafe bathroom for Poltergeist to shift into her human guise and for my Other to recede from my form (Polty being kind enough to give us our clothes, purse, and phone), we settled with one thought that stood out amongst the others.

Just what was the commotion in that intersection really about?

No promises on faster updates, but I'll try :D So, love it, hate it, what did you guys think?

What did Black Cat do to Rhino to get close enough to use that device on him?

Where did Tara go?

Why were Rhino and Vulture causing trouble for?

Who did Polty befriend? (I mean sure yeah his name is shared, but 'future' wise XD)

Stay tuned! (p.s. I don't own 'the Shining' either)
