"There's something happening three blocks to your right," Seonghwa said through the comms installed in his suit. "Be careful; it looks dangerous."

Wooyoung muttered a quick reply in acknowledgment and twisted mid-swing. Seonghwa was right: This was one of the busiest nights he ever had as Spider-Man, and he was already pretty tired from having classes all day. "I think this'll be the last one," he said. "I'm getting sluggish."

"Good idea," Seonghwa said, a hint of worry in his voice.

Wooyoung didn't take his time in getting to the street Seonghwa pointed out, and soon he was standing over a well known bar in the area. He heard a scream inside. "Seonghwa, what the hell is happening in there?"

"I don't know, but it seems like someone pulled a gun inside."

"A robbery?"

"Not sure."

Armed men stood around the building on high alert, and a large van was parked to the side, its license plate blackened out. Wooyoung crept from his cover and silently swung to the roof of the bar.

"It'll be difficult to plan this if we don't know what the situation is like inside," he muttered.

"There are definitely hostages in there."

"Yeah, but how many? Where in the building? There are too many unknown variables, and someone could get hurt," Wooyoung said.

"Give me a second." Wooyoung could hear the faint clicking of Seonghwa's laptop. "I hacked into the cameras inside, but they're all blackened out. It looks like you'll have to go in blind."

"Well, shit."

Wooyoung slinked across the edge of the roof, trying to find an easy way into the building without making too much noise. Eventually, he came across a skylight window that was already slightly propped open.

"Well, that's lucky," Seonghwa said.

"Or it's a trap," Wooyoung mumbled. "This doesn't feel like a regular robbery. There's something fishy going on here."

"Be careful," Seonghwa repeated for the thousandth time that night.

Wooyoung reached for the window pane and silently pulled it up. "If I die tonight, tell San that I never forgave him for eating the last bag of Doritos two nights ago."

"Will do."

He jumped in.
