Amanda Smith (The Avengers ff) #English

15.

Amanda's Pov.

In the middle of the night I hear a scream and laughter. Immediately I jump out of bed, put on a hoodie and climb out of the window. Since I'm no longer shine while running, I need something to camouflage.

Although they seem to be several streets away, I can still hear them. Also the hearing is improved.
Luckily.

A woman, surrounded by a group of men, tries to protect her handbag from them. She is still screaming for help.
Nowhere is Spider-Man seen, so this is my chance.

Quickly I grab the first two and make them harmless for a short time. Then the next one. The woman had called the police meanwhile, but when they arrive, I'm already gone. But I left a note that sticks on the forehead of one man:

You're welcome.
Ps: Think about a better nickname. IT is pretty offensive. I'm not a character from a horror novel.

After a few kilometers I stop, as I realize that I'm no longer alone. Now I pull the hood more in my face.
"Are you coming out of hiding place or not?", I ask and shortly afterwards Spider-Man comes out.

He seems not pleased at all that someone else is hanging around in his territory.
"Wherever you came from, it would be better if you go back as soon as possible!
This is my city!", he says harshly, somehow this voice sounds familiar to me.
"I haven't read that the city is owned by Spider-Man", I say snappily and realize that he comes threateningly close to me.
"If you get in my way, you'll regret it!", he says, standing right in front of me. Luckily the hood does not allow him to look at my face.
"We'll see", as fast as the lightning I run past him along the street.
I'm not going to let him tell me what I have to do!

I stop under a lantern and see through a shop window something flashing on my hood.
A tracking transmitter.
Nice try!
I remove it and throw it in a trashcan.
Have fun with tracking!

When I get home, I let myself fall on the bed, it's already 3:00am.

Spider-Man's Pov.

Sitting on a roof, I watch the neighborhood. Suddenly I hear a woman screaming. A raid. Finally something happens again!

But there she is again, this glowing girl. Great!
But now she doesn't shine anymore.
I watch her finishing the robbers off and then go away. I follow her quickly, until she suddenly stops.

"Are you coming out of your hiding place or not?" She asks. How did she realize that I am here?
Shortly thereafter, I land on the sidewalk, a few feet away from her.

"Wherever you came from, it would be better if you go back as soon as possible!"
This is my city!", I say irritably.

"Really, I haven't read that the city is owned by Spider-Man", she snappily countered.
The way she said that seems familiar to me.

"If you get in my way, you'll regret it!", I'm standing right in front of her. Unfortunately, I can't see her face.
"We'll see", she's suddenly gone.
But before she disappeared, I attached a tracking transmitter to the back of her head.

I follow her quickly. The direction finder indicates that she's a few side streets further and she hasn't moved for several minutes.
But it's nobody there. What's going on here?
As I see a trashcan, I can imagine it. She has probably found the direction finder.
Great!
