You are Ben Parker, super-powered criminal and thief extraordinaire. After being bitten by a radioactive spider, you underwent a miraculous change, and adopted the identity of "The Huntsman"! You also adopted the identity of "Spider-Man", for anyone that doesn't know about your illegal exploits, but that's besides the point.

https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Max%20Spider%20Quest Last time:
After rescuing Cindy Moon from the horrible fate of becoming sewer monster chow, Ben found himself in the sights of a vampire cult that wanted the little girl out of the picture. Now, he must find a way to shut them down, without attracting the attention of the authorities.
Rules:
Most dice rolls will be 1d100. Modifiers will be added depending on the situation or on the alien being used(Usually +10 or -10). Crit successes and crit fails apply. Crit fails can be overridden by crit successes, but crit failures cannot override crit successes.
How to Roll:
To roll dice, type “dice+1d100” in the options field without the quotations. To roll dice with positive modifiers, type “dice+1d100+modifier number” in the options field without quotations, and with an actual modifier number. To roll dice with negative modifiers, type “dice+1d100+-modifier number” in the options field without quotations, and with an actual modifier number.

All in all, you were pretty content with the movie you’d chosen. It was the type of mindless action that Felicia seemed to enjoy in a movie, and it proved to be a decent distraction for whatever had been on Cindy’s mind.

Anyway, we still need to come up with a plan, and get a crossbow.

Ironically enough, Ben's current relationship with his nephew is very similar to Miles' relationship with Aaron Davis. As for whether you want to remain in his life, that's entirely up to you. There is certainly a danger of negatively influencing his life through your involvement with him, but guidance and companionship are also important at a young age. There are various things to consider here.

Anonymous
>>5203073 >why Ben Parker? It was one of the choices given when we were prompted to give our name in-character.
I'm fairly certain each choice would have changed certain things about other characters as well as our pre-existing relationships with them.
Scorekeeper
>>5203073 Because this is an alt universe and there have been times where alternate versions of characters have existed further along in the future or further back in the past than they were originally meant to. Plus, it won the vote as a write-in for the protagonist's name. I figured that it was very doable, and opens up a ton of possibilities for interesting story elements.
Try not to think about how far forward or backward these events are taking place in. As far as you're concerned, this is a modern day Uncle Ben, and he is the Spider-Man of this universe. Peter will have a different identity and origin story.
>>5203074 What he said. Each choice would have resulted in a different set of characters and family members to interact with. I was almost tempted to add Miles to the list, but thought better of it before I posted the update.

Quoted By:
>>5203080 Yeah, pretty much. Plus, Peter's kinda too young to have been born yet(considering this Ben's age), but with sliding timescales, I figured that it wouldn't be too much of an issue. It also adds a fair amount of drama to Ben's life.
Ben also took on the mantle much later than Peter did, which changes the dynamic that Ben might have with some characters. By this point, there are already a few villains running around, and certain important events have already happened. This is mostly because I don't intend to have you sit through an entire event where all sorts of stuff happens off-screen. There will also be multiple time skips taking place in this quest when you hit key milestones in the story.

Basically Peter Parker is gonna suffer a lot in about ten years or so...on the plus side at least he won't be broke as fuck and actually have the money to take advantage of his genius...too bad he will be being bankrolled by a villain oh man. The family drama and character development are gonna involve so much suffering. The spiderman identity will also have so much baggage for him to inherit and deal with thanks to shady ass uncle Ben...

<span class="mu-r">“Wow! It’s almost like this is exactly what I was trying to get you to do in the first place!”</span> you exclaimed, earning you a flat look from Ana.
<span class="mu-g">“Are all Americans this obnoxious, or is it a trait specific to you?”</span> she asked.
<span class="mu-r">“Oh, man. If you think I’m obnoxious, then you’ve clearly never been to the MoMA on a Saturday afternoon.”</span>
The Huntress rubbed her forehead, seemingly regretting having made the offer in the first place. <span class="mu-g">“Just give me your map.”</span> she requested, holding her other hand out. You did so, and she marked the location of the vampire den, as well as the time that the competition was supposed to take place. <span class="mu-g">“Here. Don’t be late.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Wouldn’t dream of it, Annie.”</span> you said, and that earned you another eye twitch.
Unsurprisingly, she didn’t stay long after that, and you and Cindy were left alone at the construction site. You never caught onto the trail of the “White One” again that night, so you decided to head home after taking a few detours to throw Annie off of your trail. You didn’t need her following you around when you didn’t have your mask on.
—---
After a decent night’s sleep, you woke up late and started making preparations for your outing with the Huntress. So far, you only had a few anti-vamp weapons and a rough idea of what the area around the den looked like. If you wanted a decent chance at winning this competition, then you’d probably have to do a little legwork.
You didn’t like the idea that this woman was playing games with you during such an important period in Cindy’s life, but if it guaranteed you a stalwart ally, you were willing to play along for a little while.

I guess widow and tarantula are taken, but there's the harvestman with the long legs, wolf spiders who are known for their speed and agility, brown recluses that can kill grown men with their venom, orb weavers who specialize in trapping their prey with web, diving bell spiders who are adapted to live underwater, trapdoor spiders great at burrowing, building and ambushing, and jumping spiders who... jump.
We need at least two suits if we're to keep up this Spider-Man/Huntsman charade for any appreciable amount of time anyway, and there were multiple dope ass ideas for suits in thread one. Why would we ever pick just one? Crime should be fun!

First we need to make sure this money is somewhat clean, find a good house in a really good area with a nice school to take Cindy, maybe try and see the scope of the gangs in the city and know where are we going to set. Y'know? Maybe we could buy those warehouse and use them legit, with maybe some under the table business for the crime bosses so they can sneak some of their illegal goods and reunions.

>>5206696 30+ mil means we can do at least a little a bit in the way of personal investment before we start doing business.
I'd say getting us a place Cindy would feel at home at might come before business. We should be able to afford a mid-sized house that looks shabby but way nicer on the inside, with guest rooms, a workshop for Pete, a gym for us and Cindy, some security, and ideally a rooftop you can have a killer barbecue on.
After that I'd say we try to see how cool these Morlocks are with the idea of guiding smugglers through the sewers in exchange for way better living conditions down there.

It was less of a warning, and more of a feeling that you felt with absolute certainty. You pushed Anastasia out of the way and jumped back just in time to avoid being pounced on by the thing that was stalking you. The thing you saw crouching down next to you was a snarling, impish creature dressed in a purple spandex suit with bat-like wings underneath its arms and large ears woven into the mask. Its appearance matched the description that Morbius gave you for Baron Blood, so you could only assume that this was him right now.
He was on you in the blink of an eye, ending your train of thought right then and there. His skin sizzled and burned under the power of your flashlight, but he didn’t seem to be slowing down at all.

Do you read the Petra threads on /co/, OP? Some ideas seem familiar, though I’m not sure how much of that is simply because they’re both Marvel fanfics. >>5210493 Support. We move as the crow flies, no horseshit distractions like corners or obstacles.

Coming to a decision, you finally said: <span class="mu-r">“I might need your help. You still up for a late night hunt?”</span>
Scorekeeper
Sitting on the couch, in between your nephew and your sister, was a tall, slender figure with long white hair. She wore a white and red kimono, an oni mask with a similar color scheme, and had two katanas resting by her legs. They were all staring at a broken TV that was displaying nothing but static. Only the white woman’s head turned to greet you as you entered. And she did so far too slowly.
Her oni mask had an angry expression that resembled a snake preparing to strike. Given all the evidence, you thought it was safe to assume that this was “Snowsnake”.
As she rose from her seat, you stepped inside to get a better look at her hostages. Their eyes seemed glazed over, like they were in a trance of some sort. Is that something that vampires were able to do? If so, why hadn’t any of them tried it with you?
So many questions were swirling around in your head, but all of them died when you saw the woman draw her swords simultaneously and level them at both Vic and Pete’s throats.
<span class="mu-r">“Fucking coward…!”</span> you spat.
Snowsnake tilted her head to the left, and then violently jerked it to the right. Without warning, both of them got up and walked towards the back of the room. She wanted you to come inside. And it didn’t look like she was willing to give up her hostages so easily. You had no choice but to fight. And you had to do it without hitting either your sister or your nephew.
That meant that your electrified web bombs were out of the question. How would you get past those swords of hers? Your guns were the only advantage that you held in this matchup, and she’s trying to take that away by using your family as living shields.
What will you do?

>>5210553 I might. I do enjoy comics I just get really autistic about wanting to read stuff from the beginning and following continuity but with Marvel it's obviously completely fucked. So Im familiar with some of these characters, main ones obviously like daredevil, hobbies, vulture etc but plenty of had to look up like typhoid Mary or most of these vampire dudes apart from morbius and that's only due to the movie coming out soon
Scorekeeper
>>5210895 (Gonna go on a bit of a rant here. You've been warned.)
Marvel's continuity is super fucked at this point. Not nearly as bad as DC's but still bad because of retcons and writers and editors fighting for dominance. Take Spencer's Spider-Man run, for example. He had to spend so much fucking time undoing the bullshit that was Dan Slott's run. A new writer either plays off of the previous writer's works, or they do everything within their power to make it so that none of it actually stuck around for too long.
You'd go crazy if you tried to read a character's history from the beginning, while checking in on their appearances from tie-ins, team-ups and events. This is why a good chunk of people prefer manga, because it usually only has one writer, and the story is generally straightforward with a beginning and end. Comic characters aren't allowed to have endings because they have history, are considered national treasures, and editorial doesn't truly have faith in all the legacy characters that they've been introducing. This is exactly why characters like Miles suffer so much. Marvel isn't allowing him to be considered important, and they have no plans of sidelining Peter, so they just end up stunting Miles' development as a character. He already had it bad enough when he had Bendis writing him, because despite having made so many black OC's, Bendis has absolutely no idea how to write a black character with a personality or a shred of culture.
TLDR:
I'm going to give you the best advice you can possibly hear if you want to get into comics.

Also the cat's basically out of the bag. We should tell vic about our identity as Huntsman. Further lying about it is just going to create more problems. What would we even say "yeah i was on my way but this superhero guy managed to get here before me lmao"
She's not stupid. She'll probably piece together that Huntsman showed up lile five minutes after she called us. Also if we come clean now we won't have to bullshit about where the money for house repair is coming from

Then we help them with acquiring new stuff by calling in favors from friends of ours (we'll actually be paying with money though). We'll admit it was probably because of Cindy and her cult-related background, and that it was our fault for bringing her here, so we're doing it out of guilt.
Everything will be squared with way more effort put into maintaining a veil than you see in pretty much any superhero genre work. Noo need to tell them anything yet.

Quoted By:
You surveyed the damage that you’d caused during your fight with Snowsnake, and eventually, your gaze fell upon Louise, staring at you over Cindy’s head.
Scorekeeper
Louise folded her arms over her chest and breathed a long sigh. <span class="mu-r">“It is actually a common trick for modern vampires to use. They have had hundreds of years to think of ways to circumvent their weaknesses. The stronger the vampire, the more difficult it becomes to resist their temptations.”</span>
While the two of them chatted, you pulled out your phone and signaled for them to give you a moment alone. You quickly dialed Morbius’ number on your burner and waited for him to pick up, but to your surprise, no one answered. After two or three more tries, you eventually gave up and decided to leave a message.
You’d been hoping that he could provide you with some context on the whole “Nightguard” and “Midnight Mission” thing. Could something have happened to him? It might be worth paying him a visit sometime later.
On your way back, you spotted one of the swords that Snowsnake dropped during your fight. It must’ve flown all the way out here when you hit her with Vic’s couch. From there, you managed to locate Snowsnake’s body once more. Anastasia must’ve dragged it out of the middle of the road. You easily ripped the remaining sword from her cold dead hands and webbed both of them to your back. You’d have to figure out what to do with them later.
When you returned to the group, both sets of eyes fell on you, and then your swords. Annie in particular looked very impressed by their beauty. Even she could tell that they’d fetch a large price on the Black Market.
<span class="mu-g">“Huntsman,”</span> Anastasia began. <span class="mu-g">“I think this woman knows the ‘White One’.”</span> she said, pointing a thumb at Louise.
You looked at her sharply. <span class="mu-r">“The other hunter?”</span>
Both nodded.
<span class="mu-r">“I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but Monsieur Knight sent me. He expressed a great interest in meeting that demoiselle over there.”</span> she said, pointing back at the house. Was she talking about Cindy?
Once more, Louise pulled out a folded slip of paper and offered it to you. <span class="mu-r">“I have been tasked with bringing you back to the Midnight Mission, so that we might come up with a way to drive Baroness Blood’s forces out of this city.”</span> Louise explained. <span class="mu-r">“He only asked to see the girl, but from what I’ve seen, I believe that you would be of some use to us as well.”</span>

>>5211509 What if once Pete and Vic woke up, we tell Cindy to hide somewhere and say that where here for a favor?
Remember the Calisto problem in the sewer? It was a bunch of weird shit happening in the call, and also the final message. We can easily sell the narrative that us, as Huntsman came here because of Calisto, maybe say we came here as a favor of a friend or something. Once Vic ask us as Ben, we can say that we called our friend that got in trouble that called her and maybe that's why Huntsman appeared
Of course let's not say names at all, and say that in our way here there was something weird and the taxi we took lost it's energy with all the street, so that's why we came so late.

Said renovations being

>>5211509 Okay, if Vic doesn't figure out that Ben is a costumed individual with superpowers, then the hypnotism must have leeched half her brain.
Her chronically crime prone brother who has never had much money on hand shows up one day out of nowhere after being out of touch for who knows how long. He is now buff as hell, might actually be taller, and looks better than he did when he was a teen. At he same time he seems to have a ton of disposable cash to throw around and buys his nephew a bunch of gifts that he probably couldn't afford normally. He keeps truly bizarre hours, shows up with bruises and cuts that seem to disappear overnight, and gets vague but threatening phone calls. After said phone calls he rushes out like his ass is on fire and doesn't return. When he does come home he has a mute little girl with him who seems stuck to his side, but who obviously isn't his daughter. Then a Japanese vampire dual wielding katanas with a snake skull on her head breaks in. Shortly after calling said brother for help the entire house is trashed and the vampire is dead.
Anything OTHER than superpowers is actually WAY worse at this point.

>He keeps truly bizarre hours, shows up with bruises and cuts that seem to disappear overnight, and gets vague but threatening phone calls. Bizarre hours come with the territorry, since she knows we're a criminal, and she never really caught the bruises. Callisto's weird call was because of the moon cult as well and it's how we originally became Cindy's guardian.

>Shortly after calling said brother for help the entire house is trashed and the vampire is dead. This city's apparently as full of notable vampire hunters as it is full of notable vampires. It's Marvel's NYC, weirder things are true about this place, and sometimes civilians like us and Vic get caught up in them.
After a lifetime of knowing that we're a mundane human, her idea of who we are isn't immediately going to jump to "super". It's going to jump to "causes trouble" like it habitually has, in this case by being involved in cult shit. Thus, there's no logical reason to tell her yet, and it's not convenient either before we properly separate Spider-Man from the Huntsman.

>>5212488 Meh, just feign ignorance for now, and a few days later we can just tell her stuff we heard from our "contacts", like how the cultists are vampires going after Cindy and tracked her there, and that this new guy in town is apparently hunting vampires along with these other guys, and they arrived just before we did thankfully and must have smashed her things in the fight.
We'll pay for all of it because we're at fault for bringing her there.
We lately have more money and info because we got "in" with an unspecified bigshot. Some of these vamp-killing vigilantes must run in similar circles sometimes for vampire-tracking purposes which is why the money and info is available to us.
If people know Cindy was here, the vampire hunters brought her because she also knows how to hunt vampires, but we weren't with her when this happened.
The real question is if it was Spider-Man or the Huntsman who was here, and my vote on that is the Huntsman because we chose to use Mark of Kaine Spidey isn't known for using (I think), and because we brought Ana, who acts far more like a villain than a hero.
Hopefully we'll get separate suits for these two personas soon because it's getting real dangerous with us doing a buncha noise with the same look.

Part of me wants to commission two suits at once, one reskin for Spidey, and one built from the ground up for vampire-hunting for example.
There is a type of spider called argiope argentata that might serve as a model for that second one; it is nothing but a common type of garden spider with the special property of being silver in color and weaving X-shaped stabilimenta into their webs but it's the most appropriate species I could find.
We could commission a version of that UV cannon built into the suit with a vulture core attached to it to make it more viable, and built-in silver weaponry like an extending wrist blade on one side and a silver-shooting gun on the other, or web-bombs with silver woven into them, or neck armor to make that one anon who keeps voting on it happy. There could be a tiny pressurized tank of garlic gas on it with a mask that would protect our mouth and eyes from how irritating that would be, and any number of other weapons that wouldn't be useless against vampires built in on top.
I think it might be worth the money.

So we need a primary set for huntsman and a primary set for Spider-Man, and all the gear one has that the other doesn't, we should be able to quickly remove, even if just by webbing to an out of reach place. That'd also mean that if we do a quick change, we also have the least paraphenalia on hand, yes. But the quick changes should not be the main goal of our ensemble, but always a quick fix so we can do something more characteristic to one persona.
>>5212526 >strength, speed, agility those are less noticable when compared to webs and explosions at the fingertips.
We should keep explosions and guns to huntsman, obviously. Even if we keep the hidden gun as Spidey, but not the others.
I want to request a tool from Phineas to color our webbings as it comes out, so Huntsmans can be black (or grey to camoflauge on concrete)
We also totally should hire someone (Prowler) who can wear the other outfit to show up as Huntsman/Spider-Man while the other is present, or Benny needs to be.

You were thinking of letting your family stay at Flint’s vacant apartment for the time being. At least until you could find a suitable place for them to live long-term. But before then, you should probably pay Flint a visit and ask his permission first. You’ll save that one for last, though. You definitely wanted to spend as much time with him as possible before you had to take care of business.

When they’d finally arrived, you greeted them by showing off your cool ass ninja swords!
<span class="mu-g">“You said you got these from a…ninja vampire?”</span> Prowler asked, giving you a quizzical look.
<span class="mu-r">“Yup. Totally kicked her ass, too.”</span> you proclaimed, taking a number of action poses and swinging your swords around.
Felicia took a step back before she spoke. <span class="mu-b">“Well, they look gorgeous! I’d bet we can make a killing on these. Antique swords in pristine condition can go up to 7 mil, easy.”</span> she said, nibbling on one finger as she fought back an eager grin.
<span class="mu-g">“Speaking of money,”</span> Prowler interjected. <span class="mu-g">“How about we skip to business before we start making postings on eBay.”</span>
Felicia feigned a weary sigh. <span class="mu-b">“Ever the charmer.”</span> she said with a roll of her eyes. But you could sense that she was quivering with anticipation as well.
Well? How much are you willing to share?

Cindy nodded and laughed. With the use of her notebook, she informed Spider-Woman that she was mute, not deaf. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent blushed at that, clearly embarrassed by her blunder. But before either of them could communicate any further, Spider-Woman touched a hand to her ear and straightened.
<span class="mu-r">“The transport’s almost here. We’ve gotta catch it before it passes.”</span> she reported.
<span class="mu-r">“What do you mean?”</span> you asked.
<span class="mu-r">“I mean we’re literally going to latch onto the roof as it flies by. So long as it doesn’t come to a complete stop, it doesn’t get stored in the transport log, and Hill won’t suspect a thing. It’s totally fool-proof.”</span> she said, giving you a thumbs up. This must’ve been Bobbi’s idea. It was an awful one, but it was entirely possible for people like you and the red lady.
You cast a worried glance at Cindy, and Spider-Woman seemed to understand the meaning behind that gaze. <span class="mu-r">“Should she wait here while we-”</span> she began to say, but Cindy quickly shook her head.
The little girl reached into her backpack, pulled out a red scarf and wrapped it around her face like a mask. This didn’t seem to put Spider-Woman’s mind at ease, so she cast a questioning look in your direction. You hesitated, before nodding slowly.
<span class="mu-r">“I’ll hold onto her.”</span> you declared. <span class="mu-r">“Don’t worry. I’ve got sticky fingers.”</span>
Spider-Woman smiled slightly as she watched you wriggle your fingers. “Sure, sure. Lemme just radio this in so the boys take us up slow. You appreciated the gesture. Probably more than Cindy did, from the looks of it.
—---
Shortly afterward, the shuttle came into view and dropped down to pass the building that you and the others were perched on. On Spider-Woman’s mark, you all lept all at once. Your hand made contact with the sleek, metal surface, sticking fast as you readjusted your grip around Cindy’s waist. Spider-Woman was right beside you, rapping her knuckles loudly on the shuttle’s roof to inform the pilots that you were outside. The aircraft slowed noticeably, and you nodded at her. She gave you a small salute in response.
What will you talk about on the way up?

I don't think we should talk about the Nightguard. They are two different organization, and maybe the Nightguard and the Howling Commando could have some rivalry. If we start talking about some more underground anti-paranormal organization, we're having Hill more up in our ass and wanting to know why we have such information about the Nightguard or who are they, and even more reasons so Hill have someone on us to see who are the Nightguard
We need to keep it as a secret, and maybe if Cho tell her something about our fight with the vampires is going to draw more of her attention that before. Don't spill the beans, better if we ask what's the deal of Hill regarding Flint and about the supernatural task force of S.H.I.E.L.D

<span class="mu-r">“I hear that she’s been more interested in you, actually.”</span> Jess added, pointing a finger at you. <span class="mu-r">“She asked me a while back if I knew anything about you. I guess she thought that all spider-people stick together, or something.”</span>
Well that’s deeply upsetting. Is Hill already catching onto you?
<span class="mu-r">“If you guys hear anything else, will you let me know?”</span> you asked.
<span class="mu-r">“Depends on what it is and whether it's classified or not.”</span> Jess said, glancing at you out of the corner of her eye.
<span class="mu-g">“If it’s just harmless gossip, then sure.”</span> Cho put in.
That’ll have to do for now.

Upon returning to the lab and checking on Flint, he greeted you with a wide, goofy grin. Cindy must’ve told him about the money.
<span class="mu-g">“I CAN’T WAIT TO GET BACK HOME!”</span> he exclaimed, drawing you into a huge bear hug that caused your bones to creak.
According to Cindy, he was extremely excited about the prospect of you and him getting your business off the ground. You were one step closer to reaching the big leagues. Now if only you could get this whole "vampire" situation dealt with.

Who would've thought that a bunch of out-of-touch Sony execs couldn't make a decent movie by examining flowcharts and using a character that can't carry a movie on his own. >>5219281 I'm not gonna go out of my way to see the movie, but I might catch it when it becomes free. I don't expect to be impressed by it, though. The first Venom was okay, but the second one was absolutely dreadful. The final boss battle was the only thing I came for.
I think a lot of people tend to "settle" for superhero movies these days. There are a fair amount of unimpressive MCU movies and tv shows that get a pass because they're MCU related content.
Anonymous
>>5219281 My friend said it was some generic story with subpar special effect and some edge sprinkled over. But then again he watched it after the new batman movie he loved, so maybe it was because it raised his expectations.
I'm not personally into cape movies so I can't judge, for me it's all the same bo matter what. Well, except Joker, but I feel like that one broke the formula too much to be comparable.

>>5219290 Venom 2 basically raped Carnage and made me sperg out and ruin the movie even more for everyone else it was that fucking bad. I had to rewatch No Way Home like 3 times to stop tarding out randomly throughout the day every time the memories hit me. Poor Tom Hardy, his acting in those movies was fucking everything.
>>5219291 Joker wasn't a superhero movie, was it?
Anonymous
>>5219290 Yeah, that's what I feel, the majority of superhero movies got too stale and formulaic.
I think the Avengers got popular to begin with because it broke the mold taht was going on at that time, by having a big cast of multiple heroes and skipping a bit of origin stories, but eventually it carried the other Marvel movies due to name recognition. Guardians of the Galaxy too I think.
That or I got old and keep thinking that the old days were better, that's equally likely.

>>5219302 You're right about most of it, I think. Avengers was purely carried on by hype and was massive undertaking/cinematic event/experiment. But the fact of the matter is that movie aged like milk. Avengers 1 is kinda generic, and Avenger 2 is just shilling future Marvel projects.(Also ruined Ultron, but whatever)
Guardians is the best example of a team of literal who's becoming popular through popular media. People love the concept of a bunch of misfits becoming a family. They tried to replicate that success with the Eternals, but literally who gives a fuck about the Eternals? No one I've met.
People more or less have a sort of Stockholm syndrome where they're too invested to stop, and the studio makes you feel like you're missing out if you don't see every single movie. Kinda like Kingdom Hearts, I guess.
>>5219300 The second half of No Way Home was so cathartic for me. It felt like someone actually addressed every single complaint that I had about the new movies. Like the guys in the writers room were just pretending to be retarded for several years, and now it's just "PSYCH, WE KNEW WHAT YOU WANTED ALL ALONG!"

Once you arrived at Flint’s apartment, Victoria couldn’t help but gape at the absolute state of your buddy’s hovel. The wallpaper was peeling in some places, the drywall had a huge crack in the wall by the couch, and the sink was full of dirty dishes. There was an undeniable smell about the place too. In hindsight, you probably should've stopped by to clean the place up a bit while Flint was away from home.
<span class="mu-g">“Jesus Christ…”</span> Vic gasped, staring wide eyed at a line of ants trailing down the kitchen counter. <span class="mu-g">“If the cult doesn’t get me, the roaches will. How does Flint live like this?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Look on the bright side.”</span> you said in a cheery tone. <span class="mu-r">“At least he doesn’t have rats.”</span>
As if to prove you wrong in that very moment, something shifted in the corner, causing all of you to jump back reflexively. Cindy reached for her bo-staff immediately, but you grabbed at her hand and shook your head slowly.
<span class="mu-r">“Well…it’s a bit of a fixer upper.”</span>
Vic tried to laugh, but it came out sounding more like a whimper. You spent the better part of that evening helping them to clean and move their essentials into the apartment. Luckily, Flint’s mattress was big enough for both of them to sleep in it together. Although, Vis spent at least half an hour checking for fleas or bedbugs. You’d nearly forgotten how much of a clean freak she was.
While she did that though, you instructed Cindy to hang up some baskets full of dogwood blossoms and carve some basic wards into the walls. Peter eventually took some interest in what she was doing and asked to help. Cindy just shrugged and instructed him on how to draw the runes. She didn’t allow him to hold the knife by himself, and did more to guide his hand with her own placed firmly on top.
And in that very moment, Vic came out to check on things.
<span class="mu-g">“So the bedroom’s clean. ‘Clean’ being a relative term, but—OH MY GOD!”</span> she exclaimed, moving to snatch the knife out of the kid’s hands. <span class="mu-g">“What are you guys doing!? This is someone’s home! The landlord’s gonna freak when he finds out!”</span>
Suddenly, she scrunched up her nose and recoiled in disgust. <span class="mu-g">“What is that smell!? Who brought these flowers here?”</span>
Vic was having a full-blown meltdown. You had to calm her down.

I really hate this phrasing. In fact most of the options presented in this choice boil down to either deflecting blame, dodging the issue, downplaying things majorly, or trying to low key blame Vic.
And that is all absolutely in character for a guy like Ben.
Hell, only one of the options presented apologizes in any meaningful way while still not acknowledging that Ben's intentions meant jack shit compared to the reality that his family almost got turned into high iron content juice boxes.

>>5219890 It was more a dig at her not doing anything particularly spider-like aside from the wallcrawling. Which is ironic, because Ben blows shit up with his hands and feet, so he can't judge Jess for firing bioelectric blasts out of her hands.
Also, Jess is mentally younger than most people realize. She fell into a medically induced coma when she was a child and woke up a full grown woman as a side effect of the experiment that her father conducted. This is why she seems so immature sometimes.

>>5220244 That's funny, some spiders use electrostatic to make their webs stickier and even fly, tho extrapolating that to being able to throw dbz fireworks is a bit of a stretch. And on Ben's case there aren't any spiders that explode that we know of, but there are cases of insects using volatile chemical reactions as self defense mechanisms like bombardier beetles or termites fontanellar guns, so maybe we could chalk up the Mark as evolution or something out of Dr. Connor's design.

It took a little under half an hour to make it to the Eternal Club from Flint’s apartment. But when you got there, you weren’t sure if it qualified as a nightclub anymore. The place was an absolute wreck! The walls were riddled with holes, the windows were smashed and there were large chunks missing from the entrance. You didn’t see the bouncer anywhere, either.
<span class="mu-r">“Sheesh…”</span>
You leapt down from your perch with Cindy in tow. She noticed her pulling out her Moonrang, and decided that she had the right idea. You pulled out your pistols and silently made your way past the police tape that was being used to cordon off the whole area. Even as you entered the club and made your way through the winding tunnels in the catacomb, you weren’t met by any opposition. But right before you could open the final door, the hairs on the back of your neck stood on edge.
Your Spider-Sense flared up like crazy, and your attention was immediately drawn to the ceiling, where several pairs of blood red eyes were glaring down at you hatefully. Cindy crept closer to you, and you directed your guns skyward, just waiting for someone to make a move.
But instead of pouncing on you, they quickly turned their heads to the side, slinking back into the inky darkness. Just like that, the prickly feeling was gone, and the door opened by itself.
Inside, you found a crumbling, destitute nightclub, with Michael Morbius standing at the center. The place was in ruins.
<span class="mu-r">“Ah. The Huntsman, was it?”</span> he said in a subdued tone. <span class="mu-r">“I am afraid that you have come at a rather bad time. We are…still recovering from an earlier altercation.”</span>
You put away your pistols immediately and strode over to the tall vampire. “What the hell happened here!?”
Morbius turned away from you, staring at a still figure being carried off into another room by two other vampires. Peking through the pale sheet, you saw a tuft of vibrant, pink hair. You remembered that B Negative had similarly colored hair.
<span class="mu-r">“We were attacked by some sort of large, oddly shaped aircraft. The pilot was using silver rounds of a fairly large caliber.”</span> he claimed, clenching his fists in anger. <span class="mu-r">“It would appear that Miss Cromwell is not alone in her mission to subjugate the city. I might have underestimated them.”</span>

That didn’t fill you with confidence in the slightest, but you were at least willing to remove your hands from your guns.
<span class="mu-r">“Terminal’s disease is unique, you see.”</span> Morbius explained. “It can terminate other bacteria, making it deadly to biological life forms and virtually any disease. This includes ‘supernatural’ diseases.
Your mouth fell open and your eyes went wide. <span class="mu-r">“But that means-”</span>
Morbius nodded and grinned wolfishly. <span class="mu-r">“Terminal’s virus can cure vampirism, lycanthropy, zombification, you name it.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Makes ‘em easier to kill.”</span> Terminal casually put in.

Since several shield agents know our voice the huntmsn suit should get some kinda voice modulator, maybe some fake tech on the gloves and soles of the feet to make it seem like we use tech for wall crawling and finally an altered web formula in case someone ends up comparing it with Spiderman's web.
As for the Spider-man suit I think we should reserve the web bomb for that identity just like we only use the mark of Kaine as Huntsman

>>5220995 Sure. Especially if we end up recruiting Phin we should give him web fluid samples so he can work on creating web-shooters. We can then give them to someone (like Prowler) to impersonate us wearing a second suit to establish an alibi.
I guess we can also give a pair to Cindy, but I feel like without the spider-sense and agility and stuff it would be dangerous for her to use.
The fake tech gloves can also be real tech gloves in the form of Widow's Bites, for more convenient nonlethal takedowns in Spidey mode, and the voice modulator could be extra creepy in Huntsman mode to help intimidate fellow criminals.

>>5221020 1. Yes, we kinda have to at this point since we already lied to SHIELD and allied with them.
2. Spider-Man and Huntsman, for now. Later we might get rid of Spider-Man entirely if the lie becomes a pain in the ass to maintain. Let someone else pick up that mantle, wink wink.
Spidey should be a bit more quippy than Huntsman and maybe slightly play up the righteousness angle.
Huntsman shouldn't be an unfunny edgelord either, though, just a bit darker and more pragmatic in temperament, still a bro to his friends but reading as more dangerous to those less familiar.
3. No guns, killing gadgets or Mark for Spidey. No lethal takedowns. Less stealthy in behavior and appearance. Altered webbing with fake web-shooters. Maybe some other stuff.
Huntsman should use anything he can and be a total piece of shit if it's what he needs to do to win. Again, not an edgelord since we did vote to leave Toomes alive and ally with morally gray people rather than black.
He should look stealthy, intimidating and more explicitly armed and armored, but not hesitate to abandon stealth and start shooting and rocket-boosting in melee when the situation does actually demand it. The gun/Mark flashes could even be advantageous to him in the dark depending on the vision mode we're using.
4. Huntsman is our main identity, so that's the suit we invest in more. We'll probably have to have another extensive re-vote for the exact particulars of the loadouts though, and which one gets to keep the fur and everything.

>>5221020 odd timing because of the other question
>>Do you wish to juggle multiple personas? I want for Ben Parker to be able to run around as both Huntsman and Spider-Man
I don't want to be in control of other characters
>>If so, what will be their name/theme/concept/personality? Lets collect what the good guys know about us first
Spider-Man so far has:
- helped fend off Arcade players there having had an affiliation with Black Cat and Prowler -> but none of these three personas were known by name by Beta Ray Bill, so we can get away with having ran into him while doing hero work, with some affiliates of us, but not that either of us were usually criminals
- fought against the vultures and has gotten his friend, whom they now surely know a lot about, pulverized. SHIELD doesn't know why we were there nor why we were fighting them.
- non-lethally caught Dr. Connors who transformed into a spider-lizard monster in the sewer. SHIELD also doesn't know how we knew of that monster, nor about our affiliation with Calisto and the Morloks.
- apparently a pre-teen ward he calls Spider-Girl. They may know her name is Cindy, but not her last name. The connection to the korean-american couple who got brutally killed a while back would be somewhat far fetched. We don't know if "a simple murder" is even on SHIELDs radar. I'd also like to note that Cindy grew up in a bunker, so maybe the authorities don't even know that this couple had a kid, nor do I think that they kept family fotos around for an easy identification.
So Spider-Man has only really appeared for relatively big fights, not known to stop petty crime
now Huntsman:
- there were no surviving witnesses to our early outing before we got our costume to what it is, except Tombstones and Toomses crew
- the small OSCORP heist has had its footage deleted, except Goblin
- the museum heist with Black Cat and Prowler also has no evidence linking to us, except them and Silvermane
- vulture raid, all the above
- vampire raid, only Morbius.
in general:
the name Huntsman shouldn't yet have leaked anywhere yet in relation to high crimes
the person swinging around New York should not really have a name attached to, but the costume is likely that we ought to use for Spider-Man now.
We did not yet wear our current costume when we announced ourselves as Huntsman in the fight, if memory serves.
And you surely have noticed I left someone out, because
Matt knows pretty much everything, but he is, in the hero hierarchy, a vigilante, not an official hero, he can somewhat be trusted to keep our secret safe. Since it's not in his personality, and we also know his.
How I see it right now is: the current costume is more affiliated with Spider-Man than Huntsman, when the good people of New York are asked.
charlimit
Anonymous
>>5221096 to continue on him and myself:
The current costume is more Spider-Man's than Huntsmans
this costume needs to flow over into something more public friendly while Huntsman needs an almost complete rework
unfortunately that means losing our iconic pelt.
Spidey can keep it for a while, get a big spider on it, and change the color scheme to Pete's favourite colors
Huntsman should go to a more tactical look upgraded from what you could buy at an army surplus store
and webs, as I said a few times now, be discolored.
>>5221037 I'm not sure if we want to get rid of Spider-Man, maybe we like being praised as a hero every so often
Behavior: Yes, Spidey more quippy. Huntsman, when in public, more stoic with a sense of humor, and batman voice.
Spidey no visible guns, even if I like to keep our hidden ones just to be sure.
but I pretty much agree with everything you said

You all exchanged resolute nods before heading inside. And as soon as you entered, you could already tell that this was going to be a strange night.
Sitting behind a desk was a tall, slender young woman with dark skin and short, kinky hair. She wore a black leather jacket and a plain tan shirt underneath. When she looked up to meet your eyes, you immediately noticed that ehrs weren’t normal. Her irises were blood red, and her sclera were like a pitch black abyss. She was a vampire for sure. But by the time that you had figured out what she was, Cindy was already pouncing on her.
Her eyes went wide as the little hellraiser brandished a silver knife and lunged at her. Luckily, Matt managed to grab hold of her and pull her back before anything serious happened. She was no longer typing away at her computer, and was now probing for the intercom on her desk without taking her eyes off of any of you. When she found the recording button, she firmly pressed it and leaned in to speak.
<span class="mu-r">“Marc, you’ve got visitors.”</span> she announced. Long minutes passed with no response, and Cindy had finally started to calm down. The woman pressed the button again. <span class="mu-r">“Jake? Steve…?”</span>
You all started looking around as she fidgeted uncomfortably. The more you relaxed, the more this seemed like a normal old waiting room. You didn’t think there was an ambush waiting for you on the other side of that door either.
The woman sighed deeply and pressed the button one final time. <span class="mu-r">“Mr. Knight?”</span> she said questioningly.
<span class="mu-b">“Yes, Reese?”</span> answered a tranquil voice on the other end of the line.
The woman called Reese rolled her eyes and let out a long, suffering sigh. <span class="mu-r">“You’ve got visitors, asshole.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">“Wonderful. Send in the girl.”</span> he replied, seemingly taking no offense to her slight.
Reese’s dark eyes fixed on Cindy for a long moment, and she gestured for her to enter the room further down the hall. By this point, Cindy had calmed down considerably, no longer foaming at the mouth and stabbing at empty air. Matt set her down gently and she started walking towards the door.

So far we have two alter egos. A heroic persona and a villain persona. I personaly think its best to keep the heroic persona nonlethal or at least try. While allowing the usage of guns and the like for the other for maximum deadly hunter effect. Maybe a difference between traps and kinds of webbing utilized?

Cindy glanced at the dummy nervously and nodded to both of them.
What the fuck is happening?
<span class="mu-b">“First off, tell me what you know of the duties and responsibilities of the Hunter’s Moon?”</span> he asked.
Cindy nodded and started scribbling in her notebook. To his credit, Mr. Knight waited patiently for her to finish. Occasionally, he would glance in your direction, then to the bird-man and nod at him.
<span class="mu-b">“Yes, I know. It was likely stolen by the vampires that were pursuing her.”</span> he said to the inanimate object. Cindy glanced up nervously at the creepy thing and went back to writing.
Mr. Knight pointedly ignored all of the strange looks that you gave him and continued on as if all of this was completely normal. Once Cindy was done, she lifted her notepad to show the man what she’d written.
He nodded appreciatively at her. <span class="mu-b">“Yes. You have a very good grasp on what it is you’re meant to do. Our goals are actually very similar.”</span> he proclaimed. <span class="mu-b">“You exist to enact Khonshu’s will as his left hand. Effectively, you are my replacement.”</span>
Cindy went wide-eyed and glanced between him, the bird-skull, you and back to Mr. Knight. She started to shake her head, which only made the man sitting across from her begin to nod.
<span class="mu-b">“In all truth, I have not been acting within the best interests of my God. Long ago, such a thing would have been unthinkable for me, knowing what I know now.”</span> he said, leaning back in his chair and clasping his hands together. <span class="mu-b">“So tonight, I am here to undercut his efforts in indoctrinating you completely.”</span> he claimed, leaning forward and narrowing his eyes. <span class="mu-b">“You are under no obligation to obey his every word.”</span>
Suddenly, Cindy’s eyes shifted to bird-skull, and the air within the room began to freeze. A chill ran down your spine, and you could practically see your own breath!
Cindy was breathing heavily now, and Mr. Knight was glaring at the bird-skull.
<span class="mu-b">“You will alienate her completely if you do not show some decorum and let me do the talking.”</span> he growled with an intensity that could only be reserved for a living, breathing thing.

>>5221945 I get that you’re going with the Warhammer god theory, but just because Khorne isn’t a god in the classic sense doesn’t make him any less of a threat, and the same applies to Khonshu. It doesn’t matter if Khonshu is a god or not, what matters is that he’s influential enough to be considered one by a lot of powerful people. The fact that both MK and Cindy respond to it implies Khonshu is real. The fact that the temperature dropped implies Khonshu is real. The fact that there are multiple magical cults around Khonshu implies Khonshu is real. And even in the unlikely event that Khonshu isn’t real, Moon Knight definitely is.
I’m fine with calling Khonshu mean names or swearing at him or whatever, but avoiding physical violence at this stage is only common sense.

>>5221996 I think it'll bite us in the ass more if we let him walk all over us right here and now and lose respect in the eyes of everyone here to boot. Remember, we have connections when it comes to combating supernaturals and we know that he needs people to act as his avatars, unlike other "god"s we know of who can vaporize entire city blocks in less than a minute without breaking a sweat.
And his follower is against him, like literally actively working against his god while said god is in the room making things cold and shit. He won't do anything to us since he's trying to get Cindy not to follow Khonsu and we're trying to get Cindy not to follow Khonsu.

Of course the connection is tenuous at best due to the spider attribution largely being a later addition added by who else, the Greeks. Though Neith WAS a goddess of the loom prior to her syncretic relationship to Athena another goddess of the loom with a more direct relationship to spiders.

He has directly said that he will possess Moon Knight AND Cindy to kick our ass if he needs to. Do you really want Ben to have to fight his own protégé and another super on their turf while they are possessed by a literal God?
And we get NOTHING out of it! All the sass in the world won't convince Konshu to give up Cindy. At best we will end up cursed, at worst the aforementioned fight. For WHAT?
Because you guys don't like Konshu? Because you think Ben still thinks he's a fake after he actually showed up? The only thing this is doing is making Ben Parker look like a petulant asshole or a moron instead of someone with an ounce of cunning.
It is entirely possible to free Cindy of Konshu's influence given enough time and magical bullshit, but petty insults won't do anything other than hurt our current goals.

Anonymous
>>5222710 If you guys are really interested in fucking with Konshu long term, then it is absolutely possible through the use of Hekau.
Hekau is essentially ancient Egyptian magic (and a diety in its own right).
One of the most important parts of Hekau is the concept of a being's Name being an integral part of their real self. For example, Isis was once not a supremely important deity. Until that is she took Ra's "ren" or true name.
This by the way transformed her from merely an important Goddess, to a being of universal cosmic significance and perhaps the most powerful deity of the pantheon for a time. YMMV, the Egyptians shuffle their deities around a lot.
A being's Ren is actually one of the five components that make up their soul so having their Ren gives you power over them. This works even if, perhaps especially if, the target is a god. It is also far more accessible than the other parts of the soul.
For anyone interested.
Ren is the name you are given at birth
Sheut is a person's shadow, like their actual shadow.
Ib is the seat of the soul, a type of spiritual or metaphysical heart that houses your willpower and emotions.
Ba is the personality of the individual
and Ka is the vital fire that animated a person. When it left the person would be dead and cold.
Incidentally only the Ren is "easily" captured as all you need to obtain it is secret knowledge or trickery.

Free will means he likely doesn't control who or what gets done in his name.
He clearly doesn't like vampires given that Cindy's job description seems to be murder all vampires.
Again, rogue cult.
Yes, Konshu is trying to manipulate Cindy. But MK is acting as a devil's advocate, AND Ben is there to act as her guardian. This is hardly supernatural brainwashing. She clearly has a choice.
By needlessly antagonizing Konshu we aren't protecting Cindy. That won't help her. And in the long run it doesn't matter if Konshu is a hypocrite or not. MK is already arguing that she should have her own life free of manipulation.
So, how does calling him out actually help Cindy?
Calling someone out ONLY works if there is a relatively equal balance of power between the two individuals. Why don't people walk up and punch the president every time he lies on TV?
Because they can't.

We'll definitely go up against him at some point if we stay being the Huntsman, on account of all that harming of the travelers in the night we'll probably end up doing, but now isn't the time to make that enmity explicit.

After everything that happened tonight, your mind was a bit of a jumbled mess. You met(and taunted) a God, interacted with more vampires than you did normal humans, spoke with an insane war priest, and you found out that Cindy was being groomed to be some sort of intermediary between the normal and the supernatural world. And while all this was a lot to take in, you took some sort of strange comfort in knowing that you had to prepare to fight a horde of vampires marching on your position. Fighting was simple. There were no politics involved, at least.

While the Mooncopter wouldn’t make much noise, you could more or less “feel” which direction it was approaching from.
After a few minutes, you managed to spot it in the distance. Seeing it now, though, it resembled a “Moon Spacecraft” more than a Mooncopter. It had a very alien feel to it. You didn’t think that it spotted you yet, but you didn’t want to linger for a terribly long time. You’d only get one shot at this.
How do you plan to take it out?

>>5223192 >Crawl onto the bottom and try to gum up the propulsion system Wait a minute, I just had a brainwave. We’re a spider, right? That means we’re the best at what we do, and what we do is trap flying things in webs.
What if we spin a giant web between some buildings and bait it into getting stuck? We could also use the web as a net, or any number of alternative strategies. It would also prevent anyone from getting squished by a giant letter C.
This is all assuming we can weaken the thing’s propulsion to the point where it can’t break the webs or the buildings they’re attached to, of course.

>>5223256 What if we activate the Slip component directly into the rotors, then? I can’t think of anywhere else that is both relatively unarmoured and incredibly important to the craft’s function.

In addition, what about gumming up some of its weapons? The missiles in particular would be nice to remove from the equation, assuming the pilot isn’t a retard who launches them anyway and ends up blowing up the entire thing with us along with it.

>>5223273 Rotors would be the weakest spot since by the nature of it being mobile means it can sustain the least amount of armoring. That's if we use the slip drive. The cockpit is likely a trap option since 1 Everyone will target it to take out the pilot and 2 it needs to the most heavily armored to protect said pilot.
>>5223281 If we web the missiles they won't be able to fire. Depending on the type of guns equipped they can also be disabled with webbing. Since it uses chain guns we can actually disable them by gumming up the rotors with webbing. Clogging the exhaust is also an option. Bad things happen when it can no longer vent.

Quoted By:
>>5223282 As long as we take out its means of attack (which I’m starting to consider more important than its mobility), it’s nothing more than a big flying crescent. Which is still a very dangerous thing, mind you, but reducing the pilot’s attack options to ramming would make our allies significantly safer than trying to explode it through armour of unknown durability with a tool of unknown potency.
As you said, we should totally blow it up with our new toy, but I think stopping its ranged weaponry before it can open fire on the MM takes priority.
>>5223285 Oh, clogging the exhaust is a good idea too. We should do that if we can’t just tear it open or break the rotors.

We might have to extend the list to find who's hunder the goblin's hood, but a skilled one with either a grudge against Connor, or just wanting to stir shit, could have taken the glidder way, get into the lab, stole spiders and go their merry way with them.

After about 30 seconds, you heard a click, and then a bright flash of white light engulfed your vision. The devastating blast filled your ears, and the sheer force of it ripped you away from the Mooncopter and sent you flying in the opposite direction!
You didn’t have the best view from your position, but the results of your efforts were immediately made apparent. Where you had been crouching mere moments ago, there now sat a large hole in the ship’s hull, spewing smoke and giving off an amber glow as multiple fires broke out. The ship’s pilot was clearly having trouble maintaining his current course and keeping the ship steady, because you could already see it leaning dangerously to one side as it tried to clear past a nearby building. You could even see some pieces falling off as it flew away.
From the looks of things, you did some serious damage!
You quietly celebrated as you fell, refastening and rearranging your gear the same way that you had it before. Once you were satisfied with the layout of your inventory, you fired a web at a nearby wall and used it to swing back up to safety. But by the time you’d gotten there, you were immediately aware of the fact that you were being watched.
In the moon’s light, which somehow seemed to become brighter than it was before, you saw multiple sets of eyes on you. Glowing red eyes that were eyeing you up like a piece of meat. You recognized the stares from the patrons at Morbius’ nightclub.
You went to reach for your guns, and at this point, you were vaguely aware of the fact that there was a faint haze radiating off of your suit. You were putting out a crazy amount of heat right now. Must be a side effect of the blast from before. You were just lucky that this suit was so well insulated. For the amount of shit that you gave Phin, he did phenomenal work in a short amount of time.
But no wasn’t the time to dwell on that, because right now, you were completely surrounded by a horde of bloodthirsty vampires.
What will you do?

You searched around desperately for something that might help you, when you caught sight of a series of particularly hideous public art pieces that would make for pretty good cover if you could get behind them in time.

Feeling as if you’d done the city a service, you happily swung away from the hellish scene of carnage and smoldering debris that you’d left in the wake of your epic performance. Now to catch up with that Mooncopter!

While you were distracted, the damaged vehicle circled back to fly back towards the Midnight Mission. It looked like a decent amount of vampires were following it, too.
If you wanted to take this thing down, you were gonna have to act fast.

As far as you knew, none of the vampires had sensed your return. This was, of course, an assumption you made purely based upon the fact that none of them had turned to face you yet. Either they were all extremely good actors, which you highly doubted, or they were too caught up in chasing after the Mooncopter. It could be that you were downwind of them, so your scent hadn’t reached them yet. You don’t really know how keen vampire senses are.

Every single vampire stopped dead in their tracks, gazing up at the ruined aircraft with despairing eyes. The majority of the remaining wreckage was now descending rapidly towards the streets. And it seemed like the vampires were busy deciding whether they still wanted to attack the Midnight Mission without the Mooncopter to clear the path for them.
What will you do? You probably only have time for one thing.

Ignoring the distracted vampires, you turned around to chase after the fleeing pilot. From a distance, you almost mistook him for Moon Knight. But as you got closer, you began to notice the subtle differences in their costumes. This guy’s cape and cowl was noticeably more worn and ragged.
When you were close enough, you fired a few shots at his back. Your silver bullets hit home, forced him to close his cape and drop down onto a nearby rooftop. Upon landing, he broke into a roll and whirled on you, revealing a ghoulish face that was probably a halloween mask. At least, you hoped so. His deep scowl revealed yellowing, sharp teeth that looked as if they were made for tearing, and his piercing red eyes seemed to puncture through the shadows that obscure the upper half of his face.
The man rose to his full height, not showing any signs of having been slowed down by the bullets. You saw them penetrate his cape, so he must either be incredibly durable, or he’s wearing body armor.
Hoping to catch him off guard, you fired a couple of webshots at him, binding his arms to his torso. But it wasn’t long before he was tearing through them as if it were plastic wrap. You’d have to find another way to take this guy down.
What will you do?

>94 Discreetly, you brought your hands into your cloak and loaded your last remaining Garlic Pepper Pellet into one of your Hidden Guns. And when he least expected it, you brought your hand up and fired the pellet at his face.
The impostor snarled in a fit of rage and pain as the chemical solution stung at his eyes. You used that opportunity to draw your Vibranium Dagger and close in on him. As if motivated by instinct alone, the Mooncopter pilot drew a Moonrang and raised it to parry your attack.
But instinct alone wasn’t enough to deter you. You pressed on, slashing away at him and clashing with his melee weapon, drawing sparks with each pass. It wasn't that he was a bad fighter by any means. If anything, his knifework gave evidence to him having had military training at some point. In a normal confrontation, he might have even had an edge over you. But there were about two or three deciding factors here.
He was still dazed from the explosion and his sudden ejection from the cockpit. You were also, without a doubt, much faster than this guy on any given day, o account of your enhanced physique. And lastly, he had a face full of mace and garlic powder, and you bet it didn't feel great.
Eventually, you managed to disarm the monstrous mummy and plant the blade firmly between his ribs. Your vibranium-coated blade was sharp enough to carve through whatever armor he had been using to absorb the damage of your ranged attacks.
The question was, did you want him dead or alive? Killing him would definitely be easier, but Marc might want to interrogate him later.

I miss the clever and pragmatic Ben Parker from episode one who did what he had to do, but didn't go out of his way to piss people off or make enemies.
I mean this guy isn't even a vampire, He's just a dude.

>>5225879 Sparing him requires the assumption that it will not come back to bite us. This is comic logic and therefore it always without fail will because you are too stupid to plant the baddy in the ground before he can come back and cause yet more problems. This Ben Parker is streetwise enough to understand this simple fact unlike the heroes.
Ben doesn't kill anyone just because he can. He only does so if it's not worth the risk to keep them alive. In that regard, he is a cold hearted bastard but he also understands that sparing the wrong people will cause even far more harm than being willing to get your hands dirty to prevent it from ever happening. Therefore I would argue Ben would get along a lot better with the Punisher if you know he wasn't a fucking criminal over Matt any day. As Ben understands the Punisher actually has a good point.

>>5225898 Well if we're getting technical about the rules of comic books, killing villains doesn't always matter if they're popular enough. They just get brought back for cheap drama. Like, no matter how many times the Joker dies, he'll always come back. This is, of course done for the sake of preserving fan favorites and not having to create OC's left and right.
Death is almost never permanent in most cases, and there are times when characters are killed off for very trivial reasons. Not saying that any of that will happen often at all in this quest, but there is the slight possibility of people being brought back to life, one way or another.

Without missing a beat, you yanked the knife out of his flank, raised it up and plunged it into his chest. A breathless gasp escaped his lips, and his blazing red eyes burned into you, searching your face for any emotion or motivation. Even if you weren’t wearing the mask, you wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of making him think that you were weak.

You, Matt and Cindy were quickly ushered out the door by Reese and Louise, and you watched Moon Knight’s lonely back as he retreated deeper into the Midnight Mission.
You stared at the door for a while, before casting a cursory glance at Cindy. She was now wearing a utility belt of some sort. It looked very similar to the one that Moon Knight had worn during that weird little split-second costume change of his.
You warily glanced at Matt, who was surveying the carnage before him, a remorseful look on his face. The litter of vampire corpses that would turn to ash as soon as the sun rose. You wondered whether you should be concerned about them being piled outside on the street like this.

Its worth noting, that letting someone go has had unforeseen consequences already. Slip. Had we finished the job then, the city would be better off now. Not that I think killing him then was the right call, but I think its something that would be on Ben's mind.
Anonymous
>>5225908 True but Ben IC doesn't know that yet. Many villains are pretty damn hard to make sure they stay dead. Ben isn't naive enough to spare enemies when he knows it will come back to bite him and others. He just doesn't go out of his way to kill people for no reason.
>>5226001 As far as Ben knew he was just a thief. Not a good excuse to kill someone in his book and as a fellow crook he didn't see any reason to chase him down ASAP. Was that a poor decision? Well yeah if he was a hero, but Ben isn't someone who is actively hostile to every villain. You have to be a real piece of shit for him to come after you and he has no problems with working with many fellow crooks. Coming from someone who is setting up his own villain team it's no surprise he is a shit hero but he is willing to intervene.

>>5226001 Not killing him isn't what had unintended consequences.
Killing him was entirely unwarranted in the situation.
We caused those unintended consequences by breaking his suit. Ben Parker is 100% to blame for that situation even if he had no idea what would happen.
That makes it even more absurd that you would use that specific example as grounds to argue that we should have killed him because it completely misses the point of what happened there.

I think it will play out more towards the 'actually an evil mentor all along' and 'heroes are made by worthy villains'. All in all though yeah its really gonna suck so bad to be Peter when he finds out. Not to mention confusing for why would a villain go through so much trouble to raise him and teach him right when he so spectacularly failed to be that way in his own life? What a hypocrite or did he simply not want Peter to make the same mistakes?
Probably gonna suck a lot more for Peter than Uncle Ben. Who actually would see it coming considering how much of a good boy Peter is and noticing his budding powers. I personally think in the end Peter would look more at what his Uncle DIDN'T want him to be like him but someone better. Still gonna destroy the poor kid though. Especially when he has to clash against his uncle and villain alliance who secretly helped him grow up. Like damn, imagine the angst in that...

Our opinions towards Peter range from planning every step of his life, through dodging heroic responsibility by shoving it off on him, past surrogate father figure, and into villainous mentor.
But never, never have we used him as a reason to be a better person. Because we don't want to.

It took your sleep-addled brain another minute or two to fully process that information. As horrifying as it was that there was another high profile vamp running around, Morbius reassured you that they both fled when faced with Terminal’s terrifying ability. All that was left was deconstructing the remaining dens that B-Negative identified before he died.
The news was considerably better than what you had been expecting! You might’ve underestimated Morbius’ resourcefulness, but you figured that he wouldn’t be one of the head honchos if he couldn’t handle his business. However, this situation created two big problems.
One, was the fact that Baroness Blood and the Son of Vlad managed to get away. That was less than ideal, but you were confident that they’d have a much harder time getting a foothold in your city once Blade and co. returned. The other, and the most worrying of the two, was the fact that both vampires were now aware of Morbius’ secret weapon.
If Terminal’s existence ever became public knowledge, all hell would break loose. You just had to hope that these immortal assholes didn’t have loose lips. But that, like many other things, was a problem for another day.
What will you do today?

I've had this idea for the Huntsman costume crawling all over my head these last few days: Green lenses Splinter Cell-style, except instead of Sam Fischer's three we get 8 of them. Obviously the glow could be turned off for stealth but for cinematic effect I think it would be badass when paired up with dark, spidery, non-cute fur.
And then Spidey could have shorter, comfy-looking patches of fur instead, with more heroic colors.

After changing back into your suit, you swung over to Silvermane’s territory and asked around for him. The address that he gave you to meet him at wasn’t very specific. It started out as an abandoned factory, but when you were led inside by his goons, you were shocked to discover that they’d built some sort of underground bunker in the lower levels. An industrial service elevator brought you down to the sub-level that Silvermane was waiting on. There were more than a few guards, but most of the room was taken up by engineers and eggheads, making plans to build what you could only assume was a containment unit of some sort.

I kinda want to agree to the job, but it'd be too much of an obligation to work full-time with him, wouldn't it? We still gotta take care of the loose spiders, figure out our identity shtick, arrange decent living conditions for Cindy and our family members, get the Desperados organized and going, prepare for vampiric vengeance, probably more.
I don't have a good sense of how mobs work, but maybe we can be an independent contractor-type? Say, Silvermane supports our claim for the sewers and the smuggling operation, and we agree to get him Slip as well as favor the Maggia in our future dealings.
This does in effect mean he'll be helping a new, potential rival organization rise to prominence, but we'll be employing a blue ocean strategy so even hostile groups shouldn't be the hardest to mollify if we work with them a bit or at least stay out of their way.
Hopefully the boomer isn't a humie supremacist and doesn't mind that we'd be working with muties.

If not, then we can just say that it was a design choice of Saya.
She did find the photos in online albums and news articles listing you as "Spider-Man", to some affect. But that's just the name that the media started giving you.

Enrolling her in school. She probably won't get a good education no matter what we do, but I maintain that public schools are still important in teaching kids how to socialize with other people.
Anonymous
>>5227389 I agree, but we’d have to be careful which school we choose. A mute girl with a big scar who can kick the shit out of anyone? You know she’d become a pariah in the public system. We should use our copious amounts of money to send her to a private institution that has the facilities and trained staff to accommodate her.
Anonymous
>>5227389 enrolling her in school also requires it to somehow
make her our lawfully recognized foster kid. And we don't even know if she exists in the first place.
She was raised in a bunker, so things could mean that she is not registred in any way.
And also why the government should allow us, as a single man with seemingly no income to raise a kid with obvious disability.
IRL it just wouldn't work, but QM just handwaving the entire matter would feels unsatisfying.

>>5227535 They'd do a background check on you, for sure. They wouldn't force you to reveal your secret identity, because the Registration Act isn't active anymore, but they'd definitely look into your Spider-Man persona to see what kind of person you were. They'd care more about the applicant. Part of Avenger's Academy's purpose was to prevent young, impressionable supers from becoming villains. If you can make yourself seem like a decent person, then you might be able to get her in.
On an even more unlikely note, they're always recruiting teachers, so Benny has some knowledge to impart, then they might be willing to let him lecture the students under their supervision.

After some deliberation, you came to the conclusion that there really wasn’t any reason for you to refuse this offer. The operation wouldn’t take place right away, so you’d have some time for yourself, and you could also try and rope your teammates into helping you out. If Silvermane was willing to fork over the cash, then this could technically be considered The Desperados’ first official job.
<span class="mu-r">“You’ve got yourself a deal, Silvermane. I’ll help you get Slip.”</span> you agreed. <span class="mu-r">“I’ll also remember our excellent working relationship going forward.”</span>
Unsurprisingly, Silvermane, Saya and Max seemed very pleased by your decision. The maggia boss gave you a pat on the shoulder and called his other boys over to meet you. The meeting went on like that for about another hour or two before you told him that you needed to head back out. He gave you the suit, as well as an instruction manual that Max had written for it. You were extremely grateful, but you wanted to have this thing checked for tracking and recording devices before you put it on.
—-----
You put the issue out of your mind for now, and dropped it off at your warehouse. You’d have Prowler check it when he came over. But until then, you and Cindy were gonna head over to meet with Vic and Pete.
—------
When you got there, the first thing you smelled was the garlic. Vic was cooking with it, and she was having Peter help her in the kitchen.
<span class="mu-g">“Oh hey, Ben!”</span> she said over the sound of bubbling soup. <span class="mu-g">“Could you open up a window for me? There’s not a lot of ventilation in here.”</span>
You did so, and at Vic’s behest, Cindy went over to taste test the soup that she was making. Seemingly pleased with her work, Vic gave Pete instructions on what to do and left him to his own devices. Discreetly, she told Cindy to watch him and make sure that he didn’t burn or cut himself, before removing her apron and approaching you.
<span class="mu-g">“So?”</span> she began, looking around nervously. <span class="mu-g">“How’d everything go?”</span>

<span class="mu-b">“Is he your friend?”</span> Peter asked.
You flashed him a warm smile. <span class="mu-r">“My best friend. You should meet him sometime. I’m sure you two would get along great.”</span>
The rest of the conversation took a far more pleasant turn after that. You were just grateful to get his mind off of his father. The next time you saw Rich, you were gonna clean his clock.
—----
After you finished cleaning up, Vic pulled you aside and grilled you about Cindy’s situation. When you explained that you would be the one taking care of her, that only prompted even more questions. Her most pressing concern was Cindy’s education. You weren’t exactly sure which school to register in, or how you would go about doing that.
Come to think of it, you aren’t even sure if she’s a registered citizen. Her family hid her in a bunker all her life, and forbade her from going up on her own. For all you knew, she was invisible to the system.
You’d probably have to look into that at some point. And while you were at it, you might need to enroll Peter as well. If Rich wasn’t gonna come and pick up his kid, then you’d just have to take matters into your own hands.
When exactly did it become your job to raise other people’s kids?
—----
You hugged both your sister and nephew goodbye, and departed from Flint’s apartment when the sun started to set. You and Cindy swung back over to your warehouse and cleaned up a bit before Cat and Prowler arrived. You greeted them warmly, informing them of your success in driving the vampires out of your city.
As per your request, Cat had brought a series of stolen Ozberry smartphones for Cindy to choose from. They were all different colors, with slightly different designs and styles that varied from make and model.
While they did that, you and Prowler decided to proceed with the anti-vamp gadget workshop.

>>5228526 >>Remote Ultraviolet Strobe Light [Throwable] Light should be the hardest thing to dodge.
I'm for a creepier stealth design for the huntsman suit. 8 lenses, 1 pair per sight mode, glowing green when not sneaking, and dark, nonwholesome fur that masks the form. Maybe the metallic bits can borrow from MCU vulture, but it'd have to be a darker gunmetal for better stealth. Overall it should be black or really dark with green accents.
Anonymous
>>5228524 our first self made one was dark for stealth and we explicitly voted against the spider symbol
the Phineas made suit was sorta detailed here:
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2022/5152685/#p5169365 as a mix of >pic related
and neither of those have an obvious spider-symbol
But since the Silvermane Suit does, we can use it as a Spider-Man suit, we'll likely be seen fighting a super-villain in the streets. But it's a specialized Spidey-Suit, and we need a regular one too. There we can use the same design in red and blue (Pete's favourite colors)
While we agreed to catch him for Silvermane, it's not neccessarily going to go down that way, depending on what kind of spectacle it's going to become. Because maybe we can grab another piece of Slips suit to take to Phineas, but that's a decision for another time.
for a Huntsman Suit:
as painful as it is, but lose the fur, it's more a Spider-Man identifiable for the moment, even though we lose the fur for both personas, but we remain in the dark colors with a more tactical look and gear

In my head, it would retain the same basic skinsuit of our Huntsman outfit with a few noticeable modifications, such as;
>Puncture resistant collar (bite-proof...maybe) >Silver lenses (should protect us from the hypnotic gaze) >Silver alloy knuckle studs (lets us hold other stuff while still giving us bonus damage) >under arm wings (aesthetics) >Capsule belt (remeniscent of a gunslinger's belt, basically there to hold all of our extra ammo) And now

Our plan to be in two places at once should take care of it in my opinion, and SHIELD and the Avengers historically doesn't push too hard on people who make trouble in scales beneath their notice, and in our case, sometimes help out with the really bad things.
Cindy should stay the fuck at home whenever we're doing crime; she doesn't need to be involved in it any more than she already is. After some practice with her Moon kit she should be able to participate in some low-impact crime-fighting with us though.
She doesn't have a suit yet, does she? Now might be a good time to help her design something that goes well with her brand new utility belt.

Gadget Ideas:
Drones with holy water reservoirs for dealing with many vamps at once.
SIlver wire net gun.
Colloidal Silver and Garlic Oil Web Fluid additive.
Vape based fog machines are tiny and can be filled with either holy water or any other vampire deadly concoction. Fit half a dozen of them with a pressure container, pump, and valve and you could have a weapon that releases a massive cloud of deadly steam. A Silver mace would have more than enough room for the components. A spear with vent ports might be even better since we could probably pierce through most body armor with it then trigger the steam blast internally.
I mean... colloidal silver and concentrated garlic oil are available over the counter. We could even suspend the solution in holy water for the ultimate vampire fuck you brew.
Costume ideas!
I was originally thinking a lightly armored spider or super suit with mirrored lenses and silver gauntlets or silvered prowler claws.

>>5228526 >>5228715 You know we could have a UV laser gun to shoot vampires with seriously good luck outrunning a laser especially if we turn into a shotgun blast. Not to mention modified flashbangs that can both blind and burn vampires as their senses are a lot stronger than humans so it badly affect them. Would be cheap to make on top of that. Modified sprayer to attach silver and garlic onto our webs when we shoot them. A stake launcher is easy to modify from a shotgun and a grenade launcher is worth considering if we keep up with the throwing weapons. Silver wire, brass knuckles, and silver shurikens are also worthwhile considerations. Especially if we attach the shurikens to our webs and fling them around. The same is true for hiding silver wire among our webbing.
If we want something cheap and quick UV flashbangs and stake launcher modified from a shotgun are the easiest. Web modder will require tinkering. Silver weaponry in general is costly but easy to acquire. The UV laser gun is pricey but very nasty especially with a shotgun scatter blast format.

New Huntsman suit can be whatever, but we should probably use a voice changer or something.

Rather than a flashbang, it would be more useful in disorienting vampires and creating environmental disadvantages for them. According to Prowler, though, such a task wouldn’t be hard at all. He even checked the suit that you’d gotten from Silvermane for bugs while you and he worked.
In the meantime, Cat was adapting the costume proposal that you’d given her and expanded upon your creative flair with some more practical applications. In the end, she knew how it would all come together when you asked Phin to make it for you. If anything, she seemed genuinely impressed by your creativity and forward thinking.
>You’ve obtained the designs for a new suit! Feel free to give it a name! >You’ve obtained the specs for the Remote UV Strobe Light! You can now build it without Prowler’s help!

Also, i'm not willing to invite other one to the group except Flint. If he can easily turn himself to another person like Cho said, we can make him like a superspy, our equivalent of Clayface (or whatever that guy name is) in our universe
If we're going to make scort missions, we can have Flint doing of a decoy, maybe another van that's empty, and the final one with our objective
There's a lot we can do, and with this meta-gangwars that might go off, we can have an Upper hand against the other groups that can form out of this (because we already have a relationship with Prowler, BC and Flint, while other groups maybe would be of 2 metas with previous relationship or newly formed groups that doesn't have any relationship and needs to coordinate, which might get time)
We have our tech expert guy, two (or three) thief and larceny experts, and a shapeshifter that could have a grasp in our more mook-level workers and shit. We make money with this, and once the things starts to calm down we start our security legit business, making money out of the paranoia that metas or superthiefs might go behind some new tech while we all have field experience to work with

SHIELD for example would obviously step in to pressure for the release of any useful assets in exchange for classified or private industry tech.
And they've employed actual communist assassins with zero repercussions so a pack of high value thieves should be no problem.
Of course SHIELD is also less reliable due to political exigency and spy crap deniability shit.

They could always use her as triple quadruple agent, using her to feed information to the other too without ever trusting her fully.
Plus, Black Widow, didn't really have a secret identity to lose.

>>5229896 Yeah its not a one to one comparison. The point is having a few tech heists squirreled away somewhere could easily translate to an organization like SHIELD stepping in to cover. Notably this works even in situations where someone ended up dead because... y'know... its SHIELD.

>>5230085 My goal is to be the errol Flynn of the crime world
We're doing this for friends and family. Yes our enterprise may be a grey area but we're not raving madmen. We love our costumes as much as we love our women. We want to be a beacon for younger generations to do what is right and to help others. We kill when absolutely necessary but if there is profit in letting them live we're all for it. We have a tight knit group of friends and even some foes. People respect us because we know how to get things done without too much of a mess, mostly.

>>5230085 >So for starters, let's avoid killing civilians, inoccents or anyone that really doesn't deserves it, or atleast knrw the risks. A rent-a-cop we justa void or knock out, but a mercenary is fair game. Also would be a good idea to avoid killing law enforcement, to keep our profile low. On the fence if the military should count or not, but I doubt we are ever getting them called on us. >Let's stick to heists, espionage, sabotage and freelance missions. The occasional kidnappimg or blackmail is still on the table, but I think we should avoid that, it feels like a fast way to get on top of someone's hitlist. Also better to focus on big things instead of simple jobs, we fot too much competition with street thugs and mafia to waste our talents. Also it might make us appear as lovable thieves instead of super criminals. >We might need to expand, or start a front eventually. So if we ever turn this into a businnes, I think we should avoid the more questionable stuff, like assassinations, human trafficking, and non-superpower giving drugs. I have to atleast try to be a role model to Cindy afterall. Anonymous
>>5230085 No harming the travelers of the night, I guess. Or civilians in general. The real money's to be found robbing the rich anyway, so other supers, shady companies, expensive paintings and decorative arts, etc. like we've been doing so far.
If the hired help has guns, they're fine to kill, but unnecessary death brings us attention and should be avoided whenever convenient. Civilians are a no-go in person, even the filthy rich. Again, just go rob their companies instead.
But we also need a steady source of income and a way to launder it, so there's gonna be a smuggling ring going on via the sewers, but they're free not to join in on that one. We should detail some of our ideas just in case, like with the security company, in case they want to get involved or actively want to avoid it. The smuggling shouldn't involve anything too awful, so no hard drugs or predatory sex trafficking.
No betraying people who are cool to us. No doing dumb hotheaded things like getting into high-profile brawls with heroes if it can be helped at all. No sharing of team secrets to anyone not already involved, though Flint counts as involved, and we should tell them about him right now.
Jobs are to be coordinated to some degree, and everyone can refuse to join in on something if they object to it or are busy with another thing, but again, they have to at least stay out of the way. Everyone gets a share according to how much work they put in and risk they take; usually this means an equal share.

>>5230085 1. Try not to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary on a job. It turns garden variety theft into something much worse in the eyes of the law. They devote more resources to catching you, supers get involved, and if they do catch you its far less likely that they can or will be lenient. Theft is almost dashing in the eyes of the public, but nobody likes murder.
2. You don't have to ask for help with a job, but anyone involved gets an equal cut. If you just passed information about a job or target along, but didn't participate you get what the info is worth. At least 15% is polite though.
3. Don't snitch on people. If you have to give up some communal loot to get out of trouble that's fine, but don't sell out your pals. There's always more money. Not so with friends.
4. Please no demon shit. Stealing an arcane artifact is fine, worshiping Gorganzola Lord of ten thousand tortures is not.
5. Anyone we want to join has to be vetted by at least two members, and agreed to by three. Same for being kicked out.
6. If you need help, ask.

They were now filled with images of the Green Beret for some reason. Why would Hill be so interested in Gobbie’s bodyguard?
<span class="mu-b">“A few weeks ago, this guy started popping up in the news.”</span> she continued. <span class="mu-b">“Some of our analysts thought that his shield looked a bit familiar, so they did a little digging. As it turns out, that shield was bought by a shady dealer that we’re still looking into.”</span>
You inclined your head slightly, silently imploring her to continue.
<span class="mu-b">“That shield belongs to the Red Guardian. Think: ‘Russian Captain America’.”</span> she declared. <span class="mu-b">“And if our intel is right, they know about it…and they’re pissed. We think they already have agents looking for it in the city, but we can’t be entirely sure.”</span>
Hill shook her head, inhaled deeply and looked you right in the eye. <span class="mu-b">“I’ll cut to the chase. I want you to steal that shield for me and bring it back here.”</span> she said.

On one hand, this is exactly the kind of heist that The Desperadoes should be pulling, assuming the price is right. On the other, being a deniable asset sucks.

>>5233111 >>5233061 Guys, if the green goblin is Norman Osborn, which his sudden anti-corp attitude makes seem likely, then him deleting that footage had nothing to do with helping us, and everything to do with screwing over the company that screwed him.
Yes we benefited, but don't think for a second that he wouldn't nail our balls to a pumpkin bomb without a second thought if it suited him.
GG is an insane murderer who tried to blow up Silvermane, and would have succeeded if we hadn't intervened.
And unless Ben is suddenly super on-board with and enthusiastic about violent explosive murder then GG isn't his bro. He is a mark. And if it comes down to stealing a cut rate Russian knockoff shield to safeguard our actual bro Flint? Then I'm choosing Flint.

Why would you make an enemy of a lunatic much less stab a madman in the back when technically we still owe him one?
>>5233196 Exactly. I just don't understand why making an enemy with Green Goblin who is crazy is a good idea. We know he's fucking crazy. We also do not have a beef with him and technically still owe him one. Making him an enemy is a terrible idea.

>>5233196 >>5233210 >>5233212 Goblin hasn't helped us. Ever.
He deleted some security footage of us stealing a relatively unimportant computer. While we were in costume. There would have been exactly zero fallout from that.
He then took a job from Tombstone where we happened to work together. Part of his work was to actively murder one of our important contacts. And we wound up doing all the heavy lifting in both stealth and combat.
Contrast that to Maria Hill who has had her staff not only cure, but stabilize Flint. She knows we are a thief, but hasn't turned us in or arrested us. She hasn't even used Flint as leverage. Even the current situation makes sense given that Ben could probably break her in half if he got angry.
She could have sent heavy weapon teams to blast Flint into his component molecules sand or no sand when he freaked out.
Why do I think we should do this? Because like it or not we do owe Hill a debt. And the Goblin isn't our friend. Besides this might not be the same Hill we all know so we can at least hear her out.

Do you really think it matters whether we tell her we are part of a criminal gang? SHIELD doesn't really care too much about employing or arresting criminals. They care about the big shit.
While I appreciate the above video and valid advice about cops it doesn't apply here because SHIELD isn't really a police force. They are a massive clandestine organization with a lot of grey morals.
Even moreso in a world where they aren't directly associated with Captain America.

That said, I think as a principle we should fucking never take any job under duress. Horrible precedent, and Hill has no reason to actually overlook our crimes when she could just keep them in her back pocket in case she needs something from us again.
I say we look at the info for the job, then either get the shield and do something else with it (risky, pisses off Hill), or just ignore the job entirely. We're small fry to an org like SHIELD anyway, I highly doubt they'll mobilize forces to fucking arrest us.

Jesus Hill probably knows about our mad dash through the city to save our family from vampires as well. Between that and a literal google search for "known associates of Flint Marco" its a shoe-in that she knows who we are.
Okay hear me out here. What if we told the crew who we are and what our connection to this is? Flint already knows and BC and Prowler can, if nothing else, keep a secret.

>>5234704 He's Ben's younger brother, and the two of them have a bit of a complicated past. He loves Richard, but his parents have always made it clear that he was the favorite. Take that, and his overbearing sense of morals, and you get a rift between the two family members that limits their contact to something that feels mandatory at times.
Richard's always been a brilliant guy, so Ben wonders why he's squandering his potential as a real estate agent, instead of going into a scientific field and making a lot more money.

We can probably approach Goblin under the guise of looking to work with him, isolate the super soldier, and take him out using Flint who is 99% immune to anything he can do.
Alternatively we can plan it like any other heist,
and boost the shield with no-one the wiser.

Mirio unironically mogs Izuku as being protag material. Most of the characters that get introduced in the school setting end up being ignored for like 3 people most of the time. I also wish that they had more threatening villains like Muscular, who was an adult and a practiced killer. That shit would be terrifying to a wide-eyed kid trying to get into the hero business. They never really confront those feelings. The fact that they'll all have to grow up fast, and effectively become heroes in a Pro-Registration society that puts their entire lives on display for the whole world to see. The closest they get to criticizing their society is that one part with Stain and later with Shigaraki, I think. Izuku having seven quirks didn't really do anything for me. I just started to dread the inevitable power creep that he'd need to confront Shigaraki. He just wasn't compelling enough for me to care about. I don't keep up with the series anymore.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:baY31P5e Wed 20 Apr 2022 15:21:48 No. 5236792 Report You followed Cindy down cautiously as she descended the steps and threw the second door open. This one required a code, Cindy seemed to know it by heart. The amount of security involved with this process was surprising, to say the least. But it begged the question: “How did the vampires get past all of this without smashing it to pieces?”
The hidden doors and the keypad were still intact, so they must’ve somehow slipped through all that. Either the vampires had a hacker on their side, or they slipped through the Moon’s defenses by…other means.
All of these thoughts flew right out of your head as soon as you stepped foot in the underground bunker that Cindy Moon called home.
It was less like a home and more like a…man cave. Sure, it had a bathroom, working kitchen, a TV and everything that one would expect in a living room, but it was still rather small for someone to spend the majority of their life in. In the corner, you saw stacks upon stacks of board games, puzzles, and DVD boxsets.
Various pieces of artwork lined the walls, and when you went to scrutinize them, you noticed Cindy's cheeks color slightly. Upon closer inspection, they were all signed with her name! She even had a fancy little signature that she’d been practicing.

So here's my plan for Hill:
Anonymous
>>5237040 Honestly, I say we don't even talk to her about the job while it's in progress.
We get this shit done as fast as possible and tell her to lose our number if she isn't gonna pay us for any subsequent work.
No tricks, no nonsense, all business.
Anonymous
>>5237040 Unfortunately the back and forth of leverage you are talking about hinges on the maximum impact of that leverage.
This is ludicrously unequal.
The maximum impact of Hill's leverage is that we are apprehended by supers and spend years if not decades in jail and our associates to boot.
The maximum impact of our leverage is that we fuck with a spy job she assigned us. Would it embarrass her? Maybe. Would she lose a talented asset? Yeah.
Even bringing up all the ways we could fuck with this mission doesn't in any way increase her risk or investment. It just makes us look like someone with a petty crook mentality who would be a shit employee.
I agree with you about the job, lets just get it done. Professionally if we can.
But even if we do, there is zero benefit to Hill from releasing her leverage on us.
Anonymous
>>5237061 she doesn't lose much if she loses the game of leverage, but she also doesn't lose much if she gives us that demand

>>5237061 It might not be a bad idea to try and get some leverage on Hill in the future.
This whole operation could be the start of that since I imagine hiring a costumed vigilante off the record to deal with foreign spies flies in the face of SHIELD protocol.

>>5237074 Now I'm no expert, but SHIELD serves as a sort of mishmash of tons of superspy James Bondsy tropes.
Most importantly SHIELD has REALLY poorly defined legality. They technically work under the auspices of the United Nations, but good luck figuring out what they actually do.
This is based on the real world fact that spy organizations break the law to a greater of lesser degree on a casual basis. Illegal surveillance is a perennial favorite. As such the people who pay for these organizations need a type of insulation from all the illegal but super useful shit they do. Hence the term plausible deniability. If you don't know what that damn organization of spies is doing, then your not responsible.
The other side of that coin of course is that spy organizations sometimes decide to do shit off the books with their leaders none the wiser.
SHIELD is that taken to 11 like everything in comics is taken to 11. Nick Fury is the universal all time champion of this.
All this to say that even if we have proof Hill is pretty much bullet proof.
Anonymous
>>5237089 I'm just saying, it's the start of something, it's not everything we bring to the table.
We should be looking into Hill, and SHIELD operations as a whole, in the future to see if there isn't anything we can use to get them off our back for good.
Try as we might, we're gonna end up on their radar again no matter what. It's how the Parker Luck rolls.
Best that we have a game-plan when that happens.

The difference between Nick Fury and most glowing African American gentlemen (despite basically inventing the modern archetype) is that he's actually a goddamn hero.
No ifs, ands, or buts about it, he's a fucking bulwark of positive action, even if his methods and career highlights might be at odds with that.
There is no end to the amount of disasters averted narrowly or with a wide berth that the man is responsible for.
Meanwhile Hill is trying way to hard to fill those that impossibly large role and it shows.

She played this very carefully, doing her own legwork and looking into the matter personally. She might raise an eyebrow if she sees you joining up with a superhero team as "Spider-Man", but she won't say anything so long as you don't blow your own cover.
>>5237120 >>5237140 Despite everything that he did, the amount of respect that Fury's name and reputation commands far outweighs anything that Hill has created for herself over the years. She's constantly being compared to Fury, and she's still getting shit over the Superhuman Registration Act and how poorly that was handled. Even though she isn't technically the worst Director of SHIELD by any means, she's no Fury. Her subordinates know it, her enemies know it, and she knows it.
>>5237146 For the sake of continuity, I feel inclined to say no. The events of that story become far more plausible in a world without superheroes. Or, at least, with far less being present.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:baY31P5e Thu 21 Apr 2022 12:09:14 No. 5237918 Report Upon closer examination, these pieces were more abstract in nature. They weren’t your average fruit bowl painting, or model painting, and as such, lacked a sort of physical substance for you to immediately latch onto and judge based off of an anatomical scale or metric.
You didn’t think that you’d ever understand art as well as Felicia, but you could appreciate the amount of work that went into these paintings. Even if they didn’t mean anything to you or stir any specific emotions within you.
<span class="mu-r">“These are pretty good.”</span> you observed, nodding your head. <span class="mu-r">“We could hang these up back at my place, if you want.”</span> you offered.
Cindy went even more red, and she shook her head frantically while waving her hands back and forth. Apparently, having a professional art thief like Cat around to judge her work was a bit more than embarrassing.
This exchange went back and forth for a while longer, before Cindy finally decided to bundle up her old paintings and bring them with her. You weren't entirely sure if she would hang any of them up, but that was her decision. The majority of her art supplies were more prone to spilling or breaking on the way back, so she left them where they were. You’d have to buy her some more supplies when you got back home.
<span class="mu-r">“What’re you planning on doing with the house?”</span> you asked. The question made Cindy freeze in place. <span class="mu-r">“Do you want to keep it?”</span>
Cindy looked at you, and then panned her gaze around the room for a good, long while. The look in her eye was considerate, and filled with the longing of nostalgia. You sensed that she desperately wanted to say yes, but instead, she shook her head and scribbled something in her notebook.
When she showed it to you, you were immediately taken aback. She didn’t like the fact that the location and security of her home had been violated by the vampires. Because of the attack, she didn’t feel as safe as she once did within these walls.
She wanted to burn the place down.

—-------
As soon as Cindy walked through the door, she was immediately mobbed by Felicia and Flint, carrying several boxes of pizza, an ice cream cake and a whole stack of bad action movies. While she was stunned, you and Prowler stealthily took her belongings and placed them somewhere in her room.
Cindy initially tried to wave them off, claiming that she wasn’t feeling too well. But she was no match for the sheer positive energy and persuasiveness that radiated off of Cat. And Flint, being the party animal that he was, quickly pulled her into his pace.
You and the others claimed that you were simply having a welcome party for Flint, and Cindy was required to attend. And although her smile was forced at first, there was no denying her genuine breathy laughter when the party was in full swing. That night, none of you were thinking about money, power or big scores. None of that was really important. That night, you were all Desperados. That night…you were family.

You remained silent and nodded as she went on. From what you were hearing, she wanted to renovate the sewers, instead of moving out of them. That would prove to be considerably more difficult and expensive, but not impossible in the slightest.
Just then, the crowd around you went nuts, and your attention was drawn back to the ring. It would seem that Flint finally managed to incorporate some strategy into his attacks. Instead of swatting at the mutant when he got too close, Flint spread himself out and grabbed his foot in an attempt to trip him up. And while he failed in his primary goal, it was enough to distract him long enough for Flint to circle behind him and encase the man in a tomb of sand.
Glass tried to fight his way out, but Flint’s vice grip was more like a prison of solid concrete. There was no way out for Glass, and he knew it. And that’s when you saw the fractures forming in Glass’ forearms. He was struggling so fiercely that he was actually breaking his arms in the process. And from the look on his face, you were convinced that this was no mistake.
The guy would rather break his own arms than lose.

The only options that I can think of would be:
>Take Cindy to the doctor for a thorough checkup. >Have Phin make a few things for you.(Write-in.) >Have your contacts look into your brother’s whereabouts. Everything else is probably something that you don't tell someone to do for you. But since I was also going to use the checkup vote to test the waters for Ben looking into the possibility of the communications device, I figured that you'd actually want to be there to know what exactly was going on with her.
>We also never properly addressed with out people that we want to keep Spider-Man and Huntsman as separate identities, Silvermane and his group needs to know. You can always let them know later. No one ever brought it up with Cat and Prowler as a write-in, so I never added it as an option. Telling Silvermane isn't a terribly pressing issue, since he isn't going around shouting from the rooftops that he has "Spider-Man" in his employ. If anyone asks, he's going to refer to you as "Huntsman" since that's what you introduced yourself as. You can let him know during the planning phase.

The problem was that I like to draw with cheap pencils and paper, so I had absolutely zero use for any of that stuff.
This is how it goes for just about every kid who likes to draw nowadays.
I think the safest bet would be to actually look at Cindy's previous drawings and try to get the same type of equipment that was used to make them in the first place.

I was always insistent on checking to say "if that is what she wants" when it came to decisions regarding her,and we just need to continue that.
We should also talk to her about whether she wants to stay with us.
Also we should not penalize her when she does start to talk. Like a depressed teen coming out of his room getting the "Oh, look who left his cave." joke.
just predent everything is normal and continue.
We should also read up on selective mutism in children,because that's just what I know it off the top of my head.

I was phoneposting, so scrolling sometimes becomes a chore to read everything in context properly
and I too jumped to conclusions because I was expecting selective mutism, while magic can also be the cause
she could be mopey because it didn't work or because we were forcing our ideas of what is best for her on it like adults have always done so far.

When you thought she wasn’t looking, you snuck into her living space and took a few pictures of the art supplies that she brought back from home. They weren’t terribly expensive, and you figured that you could easily find them in an arts & crafts store before they closed.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:baY31P5e Mon 25 Apr 2022 09:55:44 No. 5242510 Report You nodded your agreement. Out of everyone in your group(other than you), Cindy seemed to take a liking to Felicia. She had a carefree nature that made her easy to talk to and get along with. She even managed to work her way into Prowler’s cold, cold heart. Although, you noticed that he seemed to enjoy conversing with Glass ever since you introduced him to the team.
When Cindy came back, Felicia said her goodbyes, gave her a big hug and a kiss on the forehead, before running off into the night.
—---
Thankfully, the place that Jess wanted you to meet her at wasn’t terribly far away. She sat on top of a five-story building, waiting patiently in her costume. No sooner than you sat down, the lesson had already begun.
Various books were spread about the place, and Spider-Woman allowed both of you to page through them and learn some of the most basic of gestures. She’d correct you whenever you made a mistake, and would occasionally quiz you on something by speaking only in sign language. She spoke very little that night, encouraging you to learn quickly so that the three of you could experience how it felt to communicate in real time using the new language.
There was a lot of double checking and misinterpretations. Like, <span class="mu-s">a lot</span>. But somehow, that frustrating process seemed to improve Cindy’s mood a bit. Just having everyone involved with the conversation limited in the same ways that she had been gave her a way to relate to you. And to your knowledge, this is pretty much the first activity that you’ve taken part in together.
After about two and a half hours of this, Jess decided that your first session was over. She let you take her ASL books with you when you left, since she’d already committed them to memory.
You thanked her out loud, and then in sign language together with Cindy. Spider-Woman smiled warmly at the two of you as you swung away from your meeting spot.
As emotionally exhausting as today had been, seeing that wide grin on Cindy’s face somehow made it all seem worth it.
—-----
The following day, you left Cindy with Flint and swung over to your buddy’s old apartment so that you could meet up with Vic and Pete. You were supposed to go out for lunch with your parents today.
How did you feel about that?

only problem will be when Peter brings up Cindy, our own foster kid they know nothing about.
So we have to come up with a plan for when that happens.
maybe we can pass her of as Flints where we only took care of her while he was hospitalized.

If dad isn't that sure, it's then we play
>”Those terrorist attacks are becoming more frequent and unpredictable, and I’m not comfortable with you guys staying here until the Avengers can get them under control.” Also, pressuring a little with "Y'know, now that you guy meet Peter and with this things going around... I guess it's a oportunity for you to have some time with Pete. Those attacks have been going on for a while, so surely the Avengers will get on this mess while we're out"
The worst we can do is trying to play the fear card with them. Maybe dad is really stubborn and say "vampire and terrorists attacks? Bullshit, i'm from FUCKING Nee York, baby" or something like that and won't accept the vacations because we say so. It's worse if we say we will pay, because there's going to lead to "Ow, and where is that money coming from?" And shit.

Considering that you have a decent idea of what he was wearing while he was coming to join this rally, as well as a good assessment of his height and build, you would have to use those to pick him out of this crowd. The only problem was the dress code that these Goblins required their followers to maintain.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:baY31P5e Thu 28 Apr 2022 13:37:28 No. 5246668 Report <span class="mu-r">“Hey, that’s my line, asshole!”</span> you snapped back. <span class="mu-r">“Where’s your phone? I’ve been calling you for the past three weeks!”</span>
Richard frowned and glanced up at Jack. <span class="mu-b">“Sorry. Been busy with work.”</span> he replied dryly.
You followed his gaze. <span class="mu-r">“No offense, Rich, but I don’t think ‘Jack’ here is in the market for car insurance.”</span>
He flashed a grin at you. <span class="mu-b">“You’d be surprised by how persuasive I can be.”</span> he said with a wink.
Before you could reply to that utterly ridiculous claim, your thoughts were drowned out by the sudden cheers of the audience around you. Jack was now hopping on what looked like a mechanical broomstick and putting it between his legs like he was a witch that had bought his Halloween costume at Party City.
You were about to laugh, but against all odds…the fucker actually flew.
And it wasn’t a gentle hovering motion that could be faked for the cameras. Jack shot off like he’d been straddling a rocket. Instead of passing out, falling off or throwing up like he should’ve, the guy was laughing his fool head off as he zipped around at dizzying speeds.
Several of the cops drew their weapons, struggling to get a lock on the pumpkin-headed menace of the day. The other Goblins quickly noticed this, and started jeering and booing at the cops. This wasn’t looking good…
<span class="mu-r">“Hey, Rich? Maybe we should-”</span> you began to say, only to realize far too late that your brother was already making his way out of the crowd!
<span class="mu-r">“Seriously!?”</span>
You fought and clawed your way over to him, only slightly bolstered by your spider-enhanced speed and strength. The reckless action earned you more than a few elbows, but you were sturdy enough to take it.
When you’d finally caught up to your brother again, you grabbed his shoulder and spun him around forcefully.
He gave you an exasperated look. <span class="mu-b">“What?”</span>
You glared at him.
<span class="mu-b">“I’m sorry, Ben. but I don’t have time for this right now.”</span>
What will you say?

Eventually, you got a little more used to his reckless driving and tried to focus on the guy that you were chasing. You were in no way able to catch up to him, but you figured that Rich just wanted to keep him in his line of sight.
But…why? What would your brother want with a guy that worships the Green Goblin? What the hell had he gotten himself into? And just what had you agreed to help him do?
—-------
After several minutes of an intense chase that rivaled any choreographed scene from a summer blockbuster, Richard finally brought the motorcycle to a screeching halt.
He had brought you all the way across town. From the looks of it, you were somewhere near the docks, now.
Richard pulled up his visor, brought out a pair of binoculars and scanned the area. He froze suddenly, staring at a distant figure on a three-story building’s rooftop, standing beside where Jack had landed. They wore green and black combat armor and had an imposing aura about them. You couldn’t see them clearly from here, but you were certain that it was…the Green Beret?
You looked back at your brother. Is he…is he after the shield too?

The figure on the left was the guy on the broomstick that you’d been chasing for the last 20 minutes. The one on the left, though, was an individual who’s been caught in the middle of a power struggle that might tear this city apart. He looked to be just as tall as Jack, and particularly well-muscled. His eyes were covered by a visor, and the lower part of his face was covered by a black fabric that gave nothing away. He was wearing green and purple military combat gear, with the tell-tale scale mail underneath. Gobbie must give it to his lieutenants or something.
You watched with some interest, until Jack got up in the Green Beret’s face, said something undoubtedly nasty, and flew off on his broomstick. To the Green Beret’s credit, they didn’t deck the guy right in his pumpkin face. You know you would’ve.
Either Jack Skellington is a higher rank than they are, or they need the Pumpkin King for something else.
<span class="mu-b">“Well that was interesting.”</span> Richard mused.
<span class="mu-r">“Yeah, I thought so too.”</span> you put in.
Richard glanced at you, and did a double take as he realized that you’d swiped his binoculars! You turned and gave him a flat look.
<span class="mu-r">“Did you really think that I’d just sit here and stare at the back of your head until you were finished?”</span> you said, handing them back to him.
<span class="mu-b">“You’re right. I should’ve let you play with my legos.”</span> he said with a smirk.
You frowned at him. <span class="mu-r">“I don’t need legos, Rich. I’ve got games on my phone like every other normal person.”</span>

After about 15 minutes, the Green Beret re-emerged from the building, wearing a black motorcycle helmet, a black leather jacket and a pair of tight fitting, slightly torn blue jeans. There were a few takeaways from this. The most important one out of them being…the Green Beret had tits! And not small ones that got swallowed up by muscle, either! They were full, perfectly shaped, and naturally accentuated the curves that she’d been hiding under all that armor.
This wasn’t a super soldier. This was an Amazonian bombshell in disguise! How in the <span class="mu-i">world</span> did Gobbie manage to bag someone like her?
<span class="mu-b">“What’s wrong? What do you see?”</span> Richard asked.
<span class="mu-r">“Just gathering some intel…”</span> you casually replied, not taking your eyes off of her for a second.
Speaking of bags, you were pretty sure that the huge backpack that she had slung over her shoulder held the shield. There wasn’t anywhere else that she could hide it.
A minute later, the Green Beret hopped on a motorcycle of her own and peeled out of the docks. You and Rich were hot on her trail.
—-----
The two of you raced after the mystery woman for what felt like 2 hours. It would’ve been far shorter, but you and your brother had to take things slow in order to avoid being detected. That, and the traffic was abysmal. Over the course of the ride, neither of you said much. You were on edge throughout most of it. Tailing someone was nerve-wracking! The movies you’ve watched and the games you’d played made it seem so easy.
Eventually, the Green Beret led you to what looked like an old abandoned train station. Now that you were going off road, you had to increase your distance a bit more. When she finally stopped, she hopped off her bike and started walking along the tracks, her helmet still on.
<span class="mu-b">“Looks like we’re gonna have to go on foot from here.”</span> Richard observed.
You really wish you still had your suit with you.
How will you proceed?

>>5249126 It honestly wasn't a criticism, just an observation. Humans do have a tendency to go for concrete and immediate gains over abstract and potential victories. It's something we all gotta deal with in our lives and something we all get punished for at some point. I'm not opposed to the same happening in this quest, such as the loss of opportunities caused by a lack of spider-tracers.
Besides, total and absolute wins are usually unsatisfying anyway.
>>5249133 Half of those aren't really sub-quests. The gang war's more like a special event that spawns time-limited questlines like catching slip and getting the parents out, the latter of which I'm pretty sure we failed already. The Black Cat thing especially is not a quest or even a remotely good idea. We're doing fine in this regard; it's not even 20% of the way to schizo anime plot levels of complication.

>>5249139 that wasn't by any means means a very serious list.
Just that Ben has a lot on his mind.
I even meant to say that Score shouldn't give us too much time to rest, since I sorta like to have to make those decisions and pick what's more important. If we run out of time for anything, if people get mad we neglected them, than that's what happens.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:baY31P5e Sat 30 Apr 2022 18:28:17 No. 5249237 Report You froze. There was a long pause after that, where neither you, nor the Green Beret moved a single muscle. After two long minutes, you heard a rusty door creaking open, and the Green Beret stepped inside the train car. It was a double decker, of all things. Who just abandons a double decker?
Abandoning the stray thought, you slowly circled the large train car, searching for an easy way in. You found none, but you did happen upon a shattered window that seemed <span class="mu-i">just</span> big enough to allow you entry. You’d have to avoid the sharp glass and plastic, though.
Carefully, you removed your shoes, placed your hands and feet on the wall, one-by-one, and slipped inside. Your heart thundered in your ears as the glass gently scraped along the fabric of your jacket. Once that nightmare was over, you crawled onto the train’s ceiling and began crawling towards the end of the car, where you saw a bright light shining through a half open door. You barely noticed the graffiti on the walls and ceiling, the plywood that had been used to shore up the holes in the walls, or the torn leather on the worn seats. All of your attention was focused on not making a single sound as you crept closer to her.
You peered inside through the crack in the door, and saw a beautiful blonde woman examining a white tablet with a microscope. They looked like pills, and she seemed to have set up a makeshift chem lab in this train car. Dr. Connors would be proud.
The woman picked up one of the tablets, absently popped one into her mouth and swallowed it without removing her eyes from the microscope. You hoped that she wasn’t a drug addict. That would make her widely unpredictable.
The other thing you noticed after you pulled your eyes away from her golden locks were her yellow eyes. They reminded you of the Goblin’s. At least, the ones in that mask that he wore.
And on the far side of the room, you saw the bag that contained the shield that everyone was after.
What will you do?
>Take a picture of her face. You can ask around about her later. >Have Richard create a diversion so you can get her out of the lab. >Fire a Garlic Pepper Pellet at her face, and snag the shield while she’s blinded. >Try talking to her.

A muscular man of average height stood outside, equipped with what you could only describe as a high-tech battle suit. The orange and green outfit made him stand out like a sore thumb, but your attention was more drawn to that bizarre helmet that he was wearing.
It was green, with multiple camera lenses scattered along the front. And on top of his forehead, was a glowing, red horn of sorts. What was up with that?
Another thunk resounded throughout the train station, and both of you turned to face the direction that it was coming from. Your jaw dropped.
A giant guy in a Rhino suit was slamming massive fists into the blonde woman’s shield! She appeared to be engaged in combat with him. But, what were they doing here? Did someone tip them off about the shield, or had they been tailing the woman right alongside you and Rich.
Either way, you had to do something.
What will you do?

I'd vote to yank the lazor horn but that strategy didn't go so well last time.

It would sure as hell beat carrying around entire computer cases and laptops any time we wanted to steal some data.
