(Just to let you guys know this isn't an additional part to the other spider-girl chapter, just wanted to make sure that was clear)

——————————————————————————

Robin Buckley is so bored.

Today has been a slightly boring day of being the "neighborhood friendly spider-man" that she usually is.

Instead of hanging criminals from their collars on trees, she was just hanging around.

Literally.

She hung upside down from the ceiling of Dustin Henderson's room, scrolling on her phone as Dustin clicks away on his computer.

Steve was slumped on Dustin's bed, curiously watching Robin.

"How can you just...hang upside down like that? Do you not get sick?" Steve asks, throwing a piece of his popcorn at her, which she skillfully catches in her mouth.

She's gotten used to Steve throwing things at her while she's hanging upside down.

Specifically, all the times she's lost her grip and became borderline concussed...

"No, it's second nature." Robin says, slightly distracted. She stares at the chat between her and Nancy.

Nancy must've lost service on the plane or something, because it's been an hour since she's texted her.

Not that she's counting.

She sighs dramatically, air blowing from her lips very quickly. She throws her phone on the bed next to Steve, and drops down next to Dustin, who's been silently working on something for an hour now.

"Are you done hacking into the mainframe?" She jokes, webbing something on Dustin's desk and admiring it in her hands. It's a sculpture of some D&D character, one of which Robin was not familiar with.

"If you wanted this app to be done faster, you would stop bugging me," He mumbles, turning to face her, "also why are you still in your suit?" Robin shrugs.

"Makes me look hot." She lies.

That is absolutely not the reason why.

The truth is...

Robin is totally not used to being a superhero.

Yeah, she's been "Spider-man" for awhile now. The red and blue-bodied heartthrob for teenager girls and boys around New York, and a reckless menace to the Daily Bugle.

But...she just wasn't used to it yet.

She wasn't used to not being deadly afraid of heights, and instead she was free falling from the Empire State building at 1AM and swinging around the city just for fun.

She wasn't used to fighting criminals, and being able to knock them out with such strength that Robin has to stare at her fist for a second before she continued.

She wasn't used to that feeling of dread (that she oh-so-originally calls her "spidey-sense") that hits her everytime something is about to go wrong.

She wasn't used to having a posse of hundreds of Spider-people running after her. Trying to track her every move.

A now she's sitting in Dustin Henderson's room, watching him build an app that watches her movement at all times to ensure her safety, and scans the area for Miguel's little minions.

She just wasn't used to it all.

She hears a slight buzz from next to Steve that snaps her out of her thoughts, and watches him pick up her phone.
