Thread: Extracurricular Activities [Spider-Man -- Sigr & Virginia]

The appearance of the red and blue costumed man took Savannah by surprise, and had he not immediately attacked one of the men she might have taken a swing at him just reflexively. Instead let the hero do his thing, watching him carefully. He sure was relying on that webbing. Planning her potential fight tactics wasnt something she started consciously, but it was running through her head all the same. Get in close where his webbing could be easily directed at her forearm or his hand could be knocked out of the way entirely. Treat it like someone with guns, and she would probably do okay. She had a knife and a taser on her person, and she still had the gun. Didn't know how many bullets were in it though, so it was not an optimal weapon for now. Why was he so loud? And dramatic, he was dramatic too. Not a huge problem for Savannah, who took the time where everyone was distracted to grab the gun from the waistband of the man webbed to the counter, using her body to keep the hero from seeing her and knowing that the shopkeeper was too distracted to notice, and tucked it away before dropping back a few steps hoping that she'd be able to slink away without having to interact with Spider-Man too much. She couldn't manage it though, and had to bite back her irritated expression. She didn't know why he'd feel the need to get out of the area before the cops came, as far as she could tell he had some sort of Avengers seal of approval or a least she'd seen him save a boat with Iron Man and not get arrested afterwards, but she definitely had to be out of there. Getting asked questions wasn't something that she wanted to deal with. Get out of my way and I will. Something in his voice had triggered a little ping in her brain and she had no idea why, so when she spoke the blonde pitched her voice a little bit lower. She moved around him gracefully, leaving a very pointed amount of space between her and the costumed man. The bell on the door jingled as she stepped out into the street, seemingly ignoring both Spider-Man and the shopkeeper. In truth she was acutely aware of the costumed hero, and was incredibly prepared to slam the door shut if he tried to do anything. She'd seen the webbing, that wasn't something she wanted to deal with. None of him was something she wanted to deal with, but that was one of those weird hero things. She was hoping that he would let her be on her way - she had done a good thing, so it wasn't like he had any reason to hassle her. Maybe her weapon, but she wasn't going to assume that the dude knew the laws on telescoping batons in New York. Even if he did, would he really be petty enough to try and call her on having a technically illegal weapon when she'd been in the middle of stopping a robbery? Probably not. The problem was solved but in an unsatisfactory way. Something deep inside still itched and stung and the only thing Savannah knew to treat it was to work. She still wanted to fight, still wanted to hit someone. The only way she would sleep was if she wore herself out a little and exercises just werent cutting it anymore. She had so much energy, and when she stopped moving she started thinking. About her dad, about school, about the people shed met there. Those were things she didnt know how to handle, feelings she didnt know how to interpret. Fighting though? Fighting she understood. Fighting she was good at. Maybe she could find something else. A drug deal, a weapons sale, something that would let her get the stress out. A weapons sale would also mean the chance for her to reequip, get things that she wouldn't have been able to otherwise. With Hammer Industries and all the technology from the aliens she was sure ended up on the street occasionally, there was the chance she'd be able to relieve some criminals of something useful. It was probably unlikely though, because it didn't seem like Spider-Man was swinging off home or at least away from her. sorry I swapped my posting order, I had most of this written while we talked about Matt and Jess's direction.
