"What are you doing?" The boy in the new Spider-Man suit asked for about the fifth time, as he and the girl were kneeled on top of the airport roof, while Iron Man went out with War Machine to evacuate the airport. 

She could how excited he was because he couldn't stay still, and actually a couple times, he had pulled out his phone to video this. She found it cute, honestly, but at the same time... she was getting a little irritated because this was her family. And he just was here for a field trip, basically. 

"Nothing." She breathed out as she tapped against the small holographic screen that popped up from her armor cuff on her arm, before she eventually was able to fix her earpiece to connect to theirs whenever they were in range. Which was something she didn't know yet if she'd use to help catch them, because she still wasn't choosing a side. 

On the way to Germany, she had a talk with Tony - and basically told him how she was there more so nobody got seriously injured. 

"You know, you never did tell me your name." He kneeled down beside her, and she glanced briefly to him - her hair pulled up into a ponytail with a braid in it, but she could already feel some strands having fallen out. She was obviously fully suited up as well, including her "weapon" hooked to her belt, and her mask keeping her identity a secret. 

She felt a slight panic because honestly, she hadn't even thought of what to call herself, which is why she said. "Dawn."

He smiled under his new mask, "Cool. Well, I'm Spider-"

But that's when the speakers announced to the whole airport that they were evacuating, Spider-Man stood up and held out his hand. "Let's go. That's our cue."

Nick raided an eyebrows as she stood up, "I can handle myself. So, you go hide."

"You sure?" He asked, and she just let out a breath before moving over to edge of the roof - not hesitating before doing a flip off of it - her new boots taking most the impact when she hit the gangway, before she then slid off the side of it - expertly landing with a tuck and roll, before she stood up - only to stop when she saw him already standing in front of her with a nod. "That was pretty impressive."

Nick couldn't help an eyeroll, because that definitely wasn't the most impressive thing she's done, and she instead moved around him to take cover where Tony told them too. 

But right when he was about to probably ramble about something else, she suddenly covered his mouth - and they both looked over when Steve walked out, fully suited up as well, only for him to stop when Iron Man and War Machine landed in front of them after an electric destabilizer hits the chopper he was headed too. 

"Wow, it's so weird how you run into people at the airport." Tony spoke, his Iron Man helmet going back into his suit as he glanced at James Rhodes, who was in the War Machine suit. "Don't you think that's weird?"
