'hit me down,
it's all in vain,
I get right back up on my feet again' -

AS SOON AS Gwen had secured herself away from the party, she found an ally to hide in and quickly slipped on her suit, hiding her bag on top of another building and gazing towards the house she'd just left. It was a stupid idea to begin with, but she never expected to see Spider-Man on the roof of Liz's house. He had his mask off, but she was too far away to be able to recognise him, combined with the darkness of the night, it was impossible for her to get a clear image. Ashla wasn't cooperating either.

"Ashla, can I get a clear image of that guy." Gwen asked the AI.

"I'm under strict programming not to disclose that information." Ashla answered. Gwen only groaned, of course Tony Stark would secure his identity, she only hoped he shared the same dedication to her suit.

Just then, the figure began to move. He stood on the end of the building and stared into the distance, his eyes locked onto a blue explosion. "The weapons." Gwen muttered, quickly following Spider-Man to the destination until she faced a similar problem to him.

The arachnid hero leaped off a house and attempted to lock her webs onto another structure, unfortunately, she didn't take into consideration the huge field ahead. It had nothing for either of them to work with, so they both ran, Ghost-Spider following the others trail until making herself known.

"Hey genius." Gwen caught up, sarcastically calling the boy.

"Ghostie? What are you doing here?" He asked in surprise.

"That's classified, but I could ask you the same question."

"Well, my answer would also be very classified." He answered, still running across the field. "This sucks."

"Tell me about it, I followed you, thinking it would be a good idea." She sighed.

"Wait, you were following me?" He asked.

"We'll talk about this later." Gwen replied, placing a finger over Spider-Man's mouth to keep him quiet. In the brief moment of silence, the two managed to tune into a weapons deal, it was the same type that they'd seen at the ATM robbery.

"This must be where the ATM robbers got their stuff." Peter stated.

"Quiet, Captain obvious." Gwen scolded, but before Gwen could catch a break from Spider-Man's voice, disaster struck.

With no regard for their stake out, Peter's phone began to ring, a yodelling sound echoed, bouncing from the walls of the bridge into their enemies ears. Peter looked at his phone before declining and whispering a small apology to Ghost-Spider. He'd not only endangered them, but a man in the middle of making a deal with the bad guys.

"Hey! Hey, come on. You gonna shoot at somebody, shoot at me." Spider-Man shouted when he landed into the fight.

"All right." The villain answered, not wasting a minute before readying his gun.
