Penny landed on the roof of her apartment as she took her mask off and sighed. She crouched down as she started going through her bag and found a change of clothes. As she got dressed you were traveling through the power lines connecting to her home. And as she turned her back to change you went through and entered the complex's power grid as a bolt of electricity zipped over her head and into the main generator not to far from her.

Penny was dressed in her normal clothes for the day. A simple Sweater with pants and sneakers. She held her bag over her shoulder as she walked down the hall towards her apartment. "You hear about that freak last night? It was crazy" her landlord talked with his buddy at the office. "Yea it was weird, everyone's saying Spider-Girl took him to the raft, they were both gone when everyone got there. Apparently the guy was some electrical dude"

She paid them no mind as she reached her room and pulled a ring of keys from her pocket as she looked through them. After finding the right one she pushed the door open. But it got stuck, she turns and slams her shoulder into the door as it gets free before she walks inside. She turns to close the door and locks it.

It was now around 9:23 A.M. and she was tired. Her initial plan was to just go straight to bed. So that's what she planned on doing. She tossed her bag to a random place in the room and kicked her shoes off. Then she just pulled her sweater off and left herself in her red Spider-Girl tank top. Yes she bought her own merchandise.

Then she turned and flopped down on her bed as she sighed. The blind were barely up so a small sliver of light shined through.

Across the room on her desk, the radio she had linked to the police scanner goes off, but she just ignored it as she rubbed her eyes.

"Good morning New York" she mumbles as she closed her eyes and laid still. One arm behind her head as the other was on her stomach. Her left her was hanging off the bed while the other was straight.

She laid still for a hood while. Not moving as she breathed with relief. But after 30 minutes of nothing she opened her eyes "forget this I'm doing something"

So say up and moved off her bed as she walked to the small fridge near a corner of her apartment and swung it open. It was almost empty "great. That's something to do today. Get food"

She reaches inside as she grabbed a can of soda and snapped it open, she then took a drink as she then looked at the TV that was in front of her bed. An old box TV from years ago. Barely worked and only had 3 channels that worked out of the 60 that she had. But she sat on the edge of her bed and turned it on.

Of course it flicked on with a static sound as the TV powered up.

She waited for it to fully turn on before it showed static. She sighs and grabbed her remote as she flicked through and tried to find a channel that worked. But with no luck she just turns it off and takes another drink from her soda

"I should work on my new designs"

She stood up and approached her desk as she moved her scanner away and turned it off. Setting her can down next to her she opened her notebook that had all kinds of designs.

"First thing is first. A new suit." She looked at the first design for a suit. "Mine isn't really much. I mean it's basically all skin. Then again, when made bad guys see my legs they tend to get a little distracted. But it also would help if I could fight and not have to worry about getting major cuts. That's what a suit is for"

She flipped through the few designs she had for new suits and couldn't decide on a new design that kept her old look with new protection. So instead she moves to gadgets and web shooters.
