HEARTSTRINGS ▹ P. PARKER [ON HOLD]

"I'm tracking his phone now, and Peter stole Flash's car. Can you believe it?!" Ned told her excitedly.

"Yes," she deadpanned. "Yes, I can."

"By the way, why did he ask for your help? I thought he was mad at you."

"He still is," she sighed. "Look, just tell me what happened."

"I-I'm not- I can't-" He stuttered, unsure what he could tell the girl. As far as he knew, she didn't know Peter was Spider-Man.

"I know Peter's Spider-Man! Just spill it out, Ned!" She pressed.

"Okay! Okay! There was this guy who attacked Peter, throwing him against school buses. And then I used his web-shooters to stop the guy from doing it again, and Peter webbed him against a school bus. He told me that the Vulture guy is Liz's father and that I had to call you and Happy Hogan and track his phone." Ned explained in one breath.

"Oh, of course, he's her father!" Gwen rolled her eyes. "Peter's just so lucky, after all."

"What now?"

Gwen activated her Siren suit. "I'll find him. You do just what Peter told you. We need to warn Tony."

Ned watched her agape. "Y-You're Siren!" He squealed. "This is awesome! I can't believe it! Oh, my God!"

"Yeah, okay, sure, call him!"

She took flight and used echolocation to spot Peter's whereabouts but found much more than that. He was fighting on the destroyed Stark Cargo Plane that carried all the boxes full of stuff from the tower, trying to prevent the Vulture from stealing any of that. They were falling fast, and Peter managed to direct the plane towards Coney Island.

"It's incredible how quick he can get himself in trouble," she breathed as she saw Peter wearing his homemade suit without his mask, being attacked by the Vulture with his damaged mechanic wings.

Gwen landed in front of the Vulture, blasting him with her sound waves. "Not today, Road Runner." She told her. "Great, now I'm talking like Tony."

"G-Gwen?" Peter breathed painfully.

"Stay out of this, little girl," the Vulture warned her. "This is between me and Pedro."

"I won't let you touch those boxes," she said.

"Then I'll make you get out of my way."

He used his wings to charge at her, but she dodged it easily as Peter had already caused a lot of damage to him. So, instead, he pinned Peter to the ground with his mechanic talons and punched him a few times. Gwen tried to blast him again, but it only caused him to pull Peter off the ground and throw him against her, making both teenagers fall on the sand.

Gwen released sound waves into the ground, creating a small earthquake that made the man fall on his back. Then, she lowered the frequency of the sounds reaching his eardrums, disorienting him momentarily, being careful not to cause any internal damage.
