==Plot==

==Transcript==
The scene opens in Queens, New York. It's nighttime, and the streets are busy. A young girl walks into a small, empty building with a sign next to it reading "NOTICE OF INTENT TO DEMOLISH." The girl sits down down inside next to the door. She pulls out her wallet and checks inside of it, but only manages to find a single $5 bill inside of it. She sighs, getting up and preparing to leave the building. Before exiting, she notices strange, high-tech devices in another room. She enters the room and looks around.
:Louise: What are these?
She then notices that there are prices listed next to the devices.
:Louise: Wow, these are expensive. Why would anyone leave these in an abandoned building?
She walks around, finding what seems to be a pair of gauntlets. She picks them up and notices the price.
:Louise: Whoa, $3,000?
Louise glances to her wallet and contemplates for a moment before grabbing the gauntlets and pulling out her backpack. She begins to unzip it before the lights turn on. She hides under a table, bringing the devices she had down with her. A few men walk in.
:Unknown Person 1: And, as I was saying, everything in here is much more powerful than anything the police have, maybe even more powerful than anything Spider-Man has.
:Unknown Person 2: Yeah, sure, we'll see about that.
:Unknown Person 3: They do look nice. Hard to find better weapons than Spider-Man these days.
:Louise: *whispering* Wait, this is a weapon?
The men begin walking around and looking at weapons. One of them stops right in front of the place where Louise found the gauntlets.
:Unknown Person 2: Three thousand bucks… is something supposed to be here, Joe?
:"Joe": What?
"Joe" walks over to Unknown Person 2.
:"Joe": There should be.
:Unknown Person 2: You lost somethin'? I'd expect better from the Maggia.
:Louise: Maggia?
:"Joe": That's impossible. I was just in here a minute ago. Someone must be here… look around. I'll take care of 'em.
:Louise: *whispering, looking at the gauntlets* Oh no…
"Joe" grabs a weapon off of the desk closest to him. Louise sees his weapon and tries to crawl away quickly. She sees the door she entered behind her, and rushes through it, relieved. She then accidentally closes the door, which makes a noise.
:"Joe": They're escaping!
Louise panics and puts the gauntlets on. "Joe" and the two other men rush through the door, aiming a weapon at her.
:"Joe": Wait, you're just a kid! How'd you get in here?
:Louise: Uh…
:Unknown Person 3: C'mon, Joe, it's just a kid.
:"Joe": You know what, how about you give those weapons back and maybe I'll let it slide. You don't know what you're dealing with, kid.
"Joe" puts his weapons down, giving her a chance to decide. Louise sighs and begins to take her gauntlets off, but she glances at her wallet again and decides to run out the front door.
:"Joe": Hey, get back here!
"Joe" and the other men chase Louise, "Joe" aiming his weapon and firing blasts at her. A shadow flies by in the skies above. Suddenly, police cars pull up, and officers run out of them.
:Officer: Freeze! All of you!
Louise, "Joe," and the two other men stop for a second and put their hands up.
:"Joe": Oh, I'll freeze alright…
"Joe" shoots at the officers, stunning them and freezing them in place.
:"Joe": Huh, I didn't think that would work. Well, now it's your turn, kid.
"Joe" charges his weapon and starts to fire at the girl again, but webs suddenly cover his weapon.
:"Joe": Oh no.
Spider-Man swings in and kicks "Joe." Spider-Man then webs all of the criminals against the wall.
:Spider-Man: Okay, don't all talk at once. What's going on here?
:"Joe": Well, you could stay here and find out, or you could find out why that kid over there is pointing her weapon at you.
Spider-Man turns around and sees Louise with her weapons covering her arms. She's pointing the weapons towards Spider-Man and the criminals, charging up a blast.
:Louise: Get out of the way!
:Spider-Man: Hey, do you know what that thing is? You might hurt innocent people with that!
:Louise: There's no one else around! Just move!
Louise begins charging up the weapon. Spider-Man turns to the criminals for a second.
:Spider-Man: Okay, stay here, I'll be right back.
Spider-Man jumps towards Louise.
:Spider-Man: Hey, what's your name?
:Louise: Move out of the way!
:Spider-Man: Huh. Is that French?
The weapon has fully charged.
:Louise: Just move already!
:Spider-Man: Hey, look, kid. I know you're just trying to help, but the police are already on their way to pick them up anyways. You might hurt someone with that, maybe even yourself.
:Louise: Move!
Spider-Man sighs.
:Spider-Man: Okay, if you insist.
Spider-Man shoots a web at her weapon, covering up the blaster. He jumps in front of her.
:Louise: No! The Maggia, they're– they're going to–
:Spider-Man: Wait a minute, the Maggia?
Louise releases the charged shot, sending her flying backwards.
:Spider-Man: What? No! Okay, this is bad…
Spider-Man jumps up and catches her before she lands. She's unconscious.
:Spider-Man: Okay, she's still breathing… This was a mistake.
Spider-Man turns back towards the criminals, who have disappeared.
:Spider-Man: Definitely a mistake.
Spider-Man grabs the weapon off of Louise's hand and takes it over to the police.

:Spider-Man: So, has… whatever that thing did to you worn off yet, officer?
:Officer: Well, not entirely, but I think I'm fine.
:Spider-Man: I may have made a mistake… the criminals got away while I was trying to calm the girl down. I did get these… arm… things, though.
Spider-Man hands the officer the weapons.
:Spider-Man: My webs caused them to backfire, which… may have knocked the girl out.
:Officer: Thanks for giving us these, Spidey. They're in good hands. I've gotta take these back, though, so I guess I'll see you around.
:Spider-Man: Oh… of course, officer.
The officer gets in his car and turns on the engine, taking the weapons with him.
:Spider-Man: Huh. Well, I guess I'll take another look around before leaving and make sure that girl is okay…
Spider-Man notices a female police officer standing nearby.
:Spider-Man: Hey, I'm Spider-Man. …you probably already knew that.
:Woman: Oh, nice to meet you, Spidey. My name's Jean.
:Spider-Man: Jean DeWolff? The police department's new commissioner?
:Jean: You've heard of me?
:Spider-Man: Well, it kinda helps to know that sort of stuff if I want to stay in this line of work.
:Jean: I suppose that it would. Did you need something?
:Spider-Man: Oh, right. It's just… the girl over there. She had a weapon with her that I gave to one of your men, but I think I accidentally caused it to backfire when webbing it up, and it sort of blew up and knocked her out. She's okay, but… could you just make sure she's safe?
:Jean: Oh… sure, Spidey.
:Spider-Man: Thanks. It means a lot… well, I've gotta swing. Let me know what you find.
:Jean: Of course. See you later.
Spider-Man swings away.
