Electrical Love

Night Out

The pouring rain hammers down upon the city of New York. Penny is crouched on a gargoyle on the Chrysler building. She is staring at the streets below. But she is dressed in her spider-suit. But it's black. But still retains the White spider.

Penny is silent. Watching the grey atmosphere cloud the sky above. The moon can barely be seen. Her police scanner goes off in her mask as she puts two fingers to her ear.

She listens in as she hears the report. "We have calls of a disturbance. All units we have reports of a rape/kidnapping, suspect was reported near south broadway and Columbia, driving towards Empire State

Penny out her hand down as she stood up and looked in the direction of the reported crime. She then took a breath and cracked her neck as she got ready. Then she jumped a couple feet into the air and flipped backwards as she started to fall

"WOOOOOOOOOOO HAHA!!!!!!" She screamed and laughed as she fell a few hundred feet before shooting a web that flew and stuck to the corner of a building as she swung. She got some height as she let go and jumped before she shot another web. She swung again as she was heading towards the scene. Ready to show the city she meant business. Not that she didn't already. But the new shit has been catching attention from everyone. And she honestly enjoys it a little bit.

But as she swings, she goes right past a small bar. "The drunken Clam" it was called.

You drop a couple of coins onto the counter as you lean against it "Gimme somethin to drink, whatever ruin got"

The bartender chuckles as he fills a glass with whiskey for you as he sets it down "thanks Desmond" the man in a white hoodie nods "yea no problem" "Miles! Get me another round over here!"

Desmond nods "yea yea! Keep it down!" He walks away as you move over and sit on the stool beside you. Penny had told you to take the night off. So you did. She told you she was capable of doing things herself for a while. You thought nothing of it. Free time was free time it didn't bother you.

So as you sat at the bar and had a drink. You listened around and heard different conversations. One struck you as odd.

"So, there we were, wheel to wheel with the nastiest racing cars. I've ever seen." Some midget was standing on a table as he talks. Telling a story to a bunch of guys.

"Razor sharp chrome gleaming in the dark!" One of the men at the table laughed "Classic New York. The underground welcoming committee." His friend poured a drink in a glass and held it out "have a drink pal"

The midget took the drink as he smiled "thanks" he then kept talking "yea well whoever they were, they didn't scare us. Y/n and I are world famous!"

He held out his arms and sent the drink everywhere "And we are connected too!"

You stopped listening as you turned back around and took a drink from your glass as you downed it in one go.

You set the glass down and lean over the bar. Crossing your arms on the hardwood counter top as you stare down at the grain. Just thinking. As you sat silently, someone grabs your shoulder and speaks

"Hey there Sugar" you turn your head and see an African American girl standing behind you. "Oh. Hey" you reply. She moves and sits beside you. "Rough night?"

You shrug "nah. Nah not really. Just boring mostly" the woman giggled, it carried a tone that implied she was a little flirtatious.

"I understand. Despite being a crazy state, new hood is surprisingly dull" you chuckle "Yea, yea it is" the woman held out her hand "Eden." You then remember her from when you took vulture down "Y/n." You and her gently shake hands as she rests her elbow on the bar "so. What's a stud like you doing here this late?"
