     It's On Again: Alicia Keys

"What do you got for me today, New York?" I swing from building to building, looking across the whole city.

"Reporting live from New York 1 chopper. An Oscorp truck carrying plutonium has been hijacked. A police chase is in progress." A man in the helicopter says as I use my super hearing to listen in.

"Alright. Let's get to work." I pick up my pace and continue to follow the loud sirens from the distance. I exhale as I flip in mid air, then swinging to the right against a building.

"Ghost!" A man hollers.

"Hello, pedestrians!" I chuckle as we continue swinging.

I follow the police cars before I swiftly land on the back of the suspect's truck. I now climb onto the side and make my way to the window before crouching down, now knowing on the glass.

"Knock, knock." I now stand up. "Mister Criminal?" I signal for him to roll down the window. "Hey, my name is Ghost." I hold out my hand. "You can call—huh, actually, no, that's your only choice. Cause that's my name." I seethe and he goes to punch me, but I block his hit. "Not a shaker? Are you a hugger?"

"I am killer!" The man grabs machine gun and I jump, landing on top of the truck as he fires bullets at me.

"Whoa, okay." I chuckle.

"Warning. Plutonium-238 is a radioactive material and is highly explosive." The automated voice inside the truck says

"You having a problem with your gun?" I now land back onto the side of the truck. "Let me help you out with that." I reach my hand inside before I see cop cars trailing in a different direction. "Oh, this is bad. I'm gonna be right back." I hold up my finger before I take off, now swinging towards a dark skinned guy with glasses and blueprints in his hand. "Heads up. Watch out." I grab him and we roll onto the street, dodging the flying taxi that was headed towards us. "Whoo. Okay. Okay. There you go." I help him up. "You okay? You alright?" I grip his shoulders.

"You're Ghost." The dark skinned guy gapes.

"Costume gives it away?" I shoot a web at his blue prints and hand them to him. "These look pretty important, Max." I now fix his glasses.

"Max? How do you know my name?"

"It's written on your badge." I look at his badge.

"I'm a nobody." Max inquires.

"Hey, you're not a nobody. You're a somebody." I fix his hair. "Alright. Listen to me. Now I need you."

"Really?"

"You're my eyes and ears out here."

"Okay."

"Alright?"
