╰┈➤ Back at her new dorm, Ranger put her earphones in and turned on the music that she'd been waiting desperately all day to listen to. She laid on the top bunk of the bunk beds in the small but homey dorm. She hadn't yet been assigned a roommate, or at least that's what she thought, but either way, she was alone now. Sure, she had homework to do, but that could wait. Right now, all Ranger needed was to listen to some good rock 'n' roll.

Only 18 seconds into the song, Ranger was rudely disturbed by an incoming phone call from... MJ?  Ranger answered the call quickly, not wanting to worry the mother-figure at all. 

"MJ, hey, what's up?" 

"Ranger, hi! How was the first day?"

"I mean, it's school, doesn't get that good," Ranger giggled slightly, "But it wasn't bad! I made a friend, I think?"

"That's amazing Angie, what's her name?"

"Uh, his name is Miles, he's cool." After saying this, Ranger heard silence on the other end for a moment or so, then some shuffling, and then Peter's voice.

"Uh, who's this Miles kid I'm hearing about? Is he your booooyfriend? Come on, Angie, spill the tea." He teased

"Spill the tea? Pete?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up." More shuffling across the other end of the line, before MJ was back.

"Jeez, sorry 'bout that, kid. Look have fun oka- what? No, Pete I'm not gonna- No!" Ranger laughed to herself at their banter. 

"Love you guys, but I gotta go, see you soon"

"BYE ANGE" Peter yelled through the phone.

Ranger hung up with a smile on her face, just in time for the dormitory door to swing open revealing a red-head girl lugging in a huge pink suitcase. Peeking over the side of the bunk beds, Ranger noticed how much of an 'Elle Woods' this girl was with pink everywhere

"Hey, I'm Ranger, I assume were roommates?" The rusty-haired girl looked up at Ranger.

"And I'm way too pretty to be talking to you." The girl said with a blank expression on her face. But before Ranger could quip back, she spoke again.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding, sorry. Uh, I'm Clementine, but just call me Emmie, yeah?"

Ranger blinked once, twice, three times and then responded, "Cool, Emmie. Uh, yeah sorry I've kinda claimed the top bunk."

"No that's cool, I prefer the bottom anyway."

"Okay," Ranger chuckled nervously, always being one to struggle with social interactions, she wasn't sure what to say.

6 o'clock patrol was nearing. Making sure Emmie couldn't see her, Ranger slipped on her suit, similar to Peter's in colour and style, but with a more feminine structure, and a hood too, a dark red just like the majority of her suit, draping over her head and close to her shoulders. She was the Night-Spider and the Night-Spider was her. Keeping the hood down, Ranger slipped her mask into her pocket and shimmied into a baggy hoodie.

"Hey, Emmie, I'll be back later okay?" Ranger said, leaning over the side of the bunks, but Emmie was already out cold. Huh, early sleeper, Ranger thought. Now not needing to leave through the door due to fear of being seen in her suit, Night-Spider abandoned the hoodie and zipped through the window of the dorm, ready to meet Peter, or otherwise known as Spider-Man, for 6 o'clock patrol.

Swinging through the city, Night-Spider was once again the carefree teenager that she always has and always will want to be. 

Spider-Man was perched atop the lion statue that sat high above the ground. 

"Hey there, Spider-Kid." Spider-Man said as he noticed the younger spiderling swinging towards him. 

"If you're insistent on calling me 'Spider-Kid' then I think it's only fair for me to call you 'Ancient-Spider'." Ranger smirked beneath her mask. 

"No no no, sorry, don't call me that! 26 is not old," He looked at the girl and pulled up his mask with a playful look on his face, "So, Ange, tell me about this Miles." He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Oh shut up! He's just a friend okay? Now, stop worrying about my oh so non-existent love-life. Anything strange on the manky-ass streets of Brooklyn tonight?"

"Language, young lady."

"Oh please, are we gonna act like you don't sing all the words to Eminem's 'Nail in the coffin' when I'm with you in the car?"

Peter was silent for a moment, "Fair point, but to answer your question, nothing outta the ordinary tonight, hey if you wanna head back that's cool with me, you pro'ly got a long day tomorrow."

"You sure? I can stay, really, it's fin-"

"No no, you go, I can handle one night on my own, and besides, I got these guns to help" Spider-Man started flexing his muscles at the girl dramatically, making Night-Spider laugh out loud and say through laughs, 

"Okay, save that for MJ how about that? Night Pete" The girl gave him a tight hug before swinging back towards the school.

"Tell MJ I miss her!" Night-Spider yelled as she webbed through the city.

Back in her dorm, Ranger de-suited and slipped on a hoodie and sweatpants. She put her earphones in and laid down and shut her eyes, drifting into a peaceful sleep.
