There was a library where books flew like birds and formed platforms for other guests to step on as they traversed the upper levels. Strange warned you explicitly not to touch any books, and you were properly motivated once you saw what looked like a flock of books ganging up on an old grimoire, and picking it avert savagely. You and Cat stared in horror, and in gross curiosity.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Sat 13 Aug 2022 22:07:30 No. 5371859 Report But surprisingly, he didn’t seem all that upset. On the contrary, he and Felicia seemed to be making a game out of it. She would attempt to steal something when she thought he wasn’t paying attention, and he would foil her plans using some magic trick or another.
Sometimes, the stolen property would fly right out of her pockets or cleavage. Other times, it would just melt in her hands and then blink back into existence, exactly where it had been before. It was admittedly very entertaining to watch, but Cat forbade you from watching too closely, lest you give away her cover.
Thankfully, Strange’s experiments didn’t take much longer. Once he was done, he waved you both over.
<span class="mu-b">“The properties of this particular strain are rather fascinating, but not complicated enough for me to seek outside help.”</span> he declared. <span class="mu-b">“There are multiple ways to utilize such rare materials. With specific instructions, you could plant and cultivate them in a plot of land, and their sweet smell would regularly attract fairies, regardless of the realm that they might originate from. The type of fae that arrive, and their reaction to your flowers will vary based on what you plant there along with them.”</span>
That’d be an impressive sight for sure. It would also give you opportunities to freely converse with magical creatures.
<span class="mu-b">“As for their alchemical properties, there are more than a few ways to make use of these flowers.”</span> Strange provided. <span class="mu-b">“They have many applications, such as strengthening certain spells, anointing charms or divination tools, and guiding astral projections. The possibilities are seemingly endless when you know how to handle them correctly.”</span>

That’s the only thing I can think of asking her though, not worth a visit in itself.
We actually have quite a few people who could make use of this in our contacts, or would at least benefit from related products. The Midnight Mission could maybe enhance their holy symbols with them (they’re a type of “charm” against vampires), Moon Knight and Madame Webb probably have plenty of uses for for astral projection or enhanced magical equipment, and I don’t know anybody who wouldn’t benefit from a divination tool that can be used to find something they want, be it a priceless artifact, the location of a tome on ancient horrors and how to kill them, or a Russian super-spy. Even if it’s not super precise, knowing if you’re in the wrong city is a good start!

>Ask Black Cat to see if the Morlocks want to grow fairy flowers. She got along with them well enough, and I’d trust her to get us fair compensation. Either a small cut of profits (maybe a moderate cut if we need to invest heavily in a separate growing area) and/or skimming some product for our own use. Nothing too outrageous, she knows we like them and this is a long-term investment. One less thing on our plate then.

That said, we’ve kept our cards close to our chest for a while, and Prowler hasn’t shared his name. If people didn’t want to share it with him, I’d go along with it. Just boils down to how much distance Ben wants to keep between his work and personal lives.

Inspiration had struck her on the subway, and her brush was now placing strokes on the developing canvas that were somehow both gentle, yet feverish in the frantic motions of her wrist.
In the meantime, you and Flint were practicing your ASL. He was better than you at this point. Something that he didn’t let you forget very often.
He would casually correct you with an air of condescension in his voice that just irked you. But on certain occasions, <span class="mu-i">he</span> would get something wrong, and Cindy would have to correct the both of you. For that, to see the flustered look on Flint’s face when he’d mix up his gestures, you appreciated the little vigilante all the more.
She didn’t get to finish her painting, so she covered it up and slipped the easel back behind a wooden crate. While she cleaned up <span class="mu-i">her</span> station, you were stuck cleaning the dishes by yourself. Because <span class="mu-i">apparently</span>, Flint was incapable of doing so.
In his own words: “mY hAnDs WoUlD gEt WeT, aNd ThEy’D cRuMbLe AnD bReAk ApArT!”
The cheap bastard.
Before your frustration could manifest itself in any meaningful way, however, a small figure pressed itself against you, wrapping her arms around your waist and pulling you into a big hug.
You froze up, smiled sheepishly, and patted her arm with wet, soapy hands. As soon as she’d let go, you tried to turn in order to face her, but she had already fled to her room.
And just like that, your dark thoughts were blown away, and you finished washing the dishes by yourself, whistling a jaunty tune and relishing the sense of fulfillment that rose up from within you.
That night, you all went to bed with full stomachs, a fully stocked fridge, and a wallet that was slightly less full than it had been the day before.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Fri 19 Aug 2022 15:30:56 No. 5377758 Report When you and Cindy approached the front door, you noticed that the bouncer was a different vampire. They weren’t nearly as big as the last, but they carried themselves with the dignity and poise of a seasoned fighter and a trained killer. His red, piercing gaze washed over you and your companion, and his body seemed to tense for a moment. But instead of attacking, he simply stepped aside, opened the door, and gestured for you to enter with a slight sneer.
Another vampire, one you couldn’t completely see in the dimly lit halls, led you through the winding, maze-like corridors, until you ended up at another metal door. Rhythmic music and pulsating lights seeped through the cracks, and you could sense the presence of yet more dangerous creatures in the room beyond. Creatures that sensed you coming already. Creatures that could smell your sweat, hear your heartbeat, taste your fear.
You could never get over this part. The waiting. The not knowing whether you would be ambushed from behind, or dog-piled as soon as you dared to enter their territory. Strangely enough, having Cindy by your side seemed to erase some of your worries. Her family were friends of Morbius, and she was likely the only reason you got through the front door without excessive violence.
A quick glance in her direction told you that she wasn’t terribly worried, and you felt a bit silly for letting your fears get the best of you.
However, that thought was immediately blown away when the door slid open with a creak, revealing a dark, dimly lit room, with glowing eyes and glinting fangs flashing with malice and hunger. It was then that you were realizing that you were feeling a completely healthy and normal amount of fear.
<span class="mu-r">“Huntsman. It is good to see that you are well. The same goes for you, Miss Moon.”</span> said a familiar voice from deeper within the room. Just the sound of it made most of the others stop hissing almost immediately. <span class="mu-r">“To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?”</span>

>>5377907 If he wants to get an education, I don't see why not. I do have another idea though.
What if we got him an internship with The Tinkerer?
He's clearly got something of an aptitude for super science, and it would give him access to much better tools than we can get right now.
The hard part would be swaying Phin, but I imagine there's something we can do to make the deal happen.
Keep in mind we'd still be taking him with us on jobs regularly, especially those involving Electro.

I’m okay with owing the favor on the condition that *we* owe the favor, not our crew. This is personal business, after all. But we’re not in a rush as we still need to track down the creature and our plate already seems full right now.

<span class="mu-r">“You said you’d waive the <span class="mu-i">entire</span> fee?”</span> you asked, not releasing his hand.
<span class="mu-r">“I can,”</span> he replied simply. <span class="mu-r">“But that would require an even bigger commitment on your part.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“I’ll do it.”</span> you said firmly. <span class="mu-r">“Whatever it takes.”</span>
Morbius nodded, seemingly satisfied, before releasing your hand and reaching for the phone.
<span class="mu-r">“Terminal? Don’t worry about the fee. I’ll reimburse you for this one.”</span> Morbius offered.
You didn’t hear the assassin’s response, but it sounded snippy. The living vampire simply chuckled and hung up the phone.
<span class="mu-r">“If you wish to speed this investigation along, then you’re welcome to offer me any new information that you come across, so that I might pass it to Terminal.”</span> Morbius said, his crimson eyes fixed on you. <span class="mu-r">“If not, then you’re welcome to leave everything in his hands, so that you might direct your attention to other matters.”</span>
You nodded. <span class="mu-r">“And you can send me the details of that job that you want me to do.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“In due time, Huntsman.”</span> Morbius replied. <span class="mu-r">“In due time.”</span>

After you bantered for a while longer, you and Cindy were led out of the vampire club by one of his trusted bodyguards. All the while, the kid crimefighter was practically vibrating with grim delight at the prospect of having someone as deadly as Terminal going after the voice thief.
Personally, you were feeling nervous about having Terminal anywhere near you, or anyone else that you cared about. But if Morbius trusts him to go out and operate without close supervision, then you supposed that you could think of him as a professional.
That being said, you were probably going to have to report this to the others during your next meeting. They should know that a walking biohazard is about to put himself in the Silvertongue’s crosshairs.
But at the very least, you made some headway in solving two of your biggest problems. Hopefully, both avenues will pan out, and you’ll be rid of both menaces by this time next month.
If only you could be so lucky…

As for A.A. and Strange Academy, you don't even know how to get there, or properly enroll. They're more like rumors that you've heard passed around, but there are more than a few people that believe they really do exist.
It's not that the idea of attending such fantastic schools doesn't appeal to Cindy, but she made some very quick judgements about them, based on what she knew. She discarded Avengers Academy because she believes that most of their curriculum would be focused on training and learning to control metahuman abilities. She isn't convinced that they can teach her anything that the Desperados or your contacts can't.
Strange Academy did interest her, but she made a similar judgment. More time spent cooped up in a dusty old room, pouring over dusty old books, learning basic spell theory and arcane schools. She doesn't believe that such intensive studies would lend much time for her to fight crime and keep the streets safe.
She'd be willing to visit, Midtown and Visions Academy, but if you wanted her to consider the other two options, you'd have to convince her that it would be beneficial for her.
And of course, you're always welcome to ask around and find unorthodox alternatives to her education.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Fri 26 Aug 2022 20:34:26 No. 5384710 Report She didn’t seem terribly surprised by your arrival, so you helped her put away the food and stayed to chat with her and Pete for a bit. When you informed her of your plans to enroll Cindy in high school, she gave you an approving smile that seemed to wash away whatever awkward tension had been between you and her these past few weeks.
To your delight, the conversation eventually turned to her asking what Richard was planning on doing about Pete’s schooling. Richard squirmed a bit under your sister’s scrutiny, which was a rare sight. But in reality, neither you nor Victoria were really that upset with him. It was clear that Peter was very developed for a boy his age. You were mostly concerned about his social skills and societal development being jeopardized by a lack of progress.
Plus, it’d be a shame for all those brains to go to waste.
—--------
A little while later, you left Vic’s house with the promise of paying her back someday soon and swung back to your place. Unsurprisingly, Cindy was waiting for you with her transcripts when you got there.
According to her records, her grades were already pretty high. She was excelling in math and science, and her literature grades weren’t bad at all. Her worst grades seemed to be centered around history, but her average had never gone below a C+.
When asked about it, she sheepishly signed that the subject had simply <span class="mu-s">“bored her”</span>.
Well, at least you knew what you were dealing with. You’d have to focus on history and literature primarily, while polishing up on math and science in order to raise those test scores. If she was going to make it into Brooklyn Visions, she was going to have to be at the top of her game. At the very least, you were confident that she was going to have a good tutor.
What will you do tomorrow?

Obviously we'd take a cut of that income, but not an unreasonable one. I figure once we have a good crop going and a few buyers lined up, we can finalize our terms.

Those fake coins smelled like old metal, and they didn’t look at all counterfeit.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Probably fairy magic fucking with our senses.”</span> you reasoned.
<span class="mu-b">“Undoubtedly.”</span> she replied, placing a flower back into the box and picking up another.
While she played with them, you went on to explain the rest of the rules, making absolutely certain that your shared knowledge matched up perfectly. It wouldn’t do for someone to get spirited away to the land of the Fae, after all.
You also explained your idea of sowing garlic and dogwood along with the fairy flowers in order to drive off any visitors that might think of showing up.
Callisto scrunched up her nose and complained that the greenhouse would “fucking reek like nobody’s business”, clearly forgetting that she spent all her time in a sewer. The only reason you weren’t complaining about the smell was because the gas filters in your mask were sparing you the pain of having to hold your breath or breathe through your mouth.
What will you say to convince Callisto?

Callisto froze, then. She dropped the flower back into the box and gave you a serious look. <span class="mu-b">“And what gives you that idea?”</span> she asked.
<span class="mu-r">“The fact that the Son of Dracula had to step in to save the head vampire in charge of the takeover.”</span> you explained. <span class="mu-r">“And I…sort of killed some of their top soldiers. Something tells me that they won’t just take that lying down.”</span>

That must have been Snowsnake.
You shook your head. <span class="mu-r">“She was actually looking for Cindy.”</span> you said.
Callisto’s remaining eye widened. <span class="mu-b">“The kid? What for?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Probably to finish the job.”</span> you responded. <span class="mu-r">“I think she played a part in killing her parents.”</span>
Callisto sighed and shook her head mournfully. <span class="mu-b">“Poor thing…”</span> she muttered.
After a moment of silence, she regained her composure and steeled her expression once more.
<span class="mu-b">“These ‘cash crops’.”</span> she began. <span class="mu-b">“How big of a cut are you planning to get out of this whole operation?”</span>

>>5386022 >>5386041 She was indeed talking about the dogwood. Most people think that they smell pretty good, but the fragrance that they give off is fairly strong, and Callisto has a very strong sense of smell. Strong enough that she notices your presence whenever you enter the sewers.

She jumped a bit, and you began to think that you might have been a tad bit too bold in front of the skittish thing. But to your surprise, an amused grin began to play across her features as she got a better look at you without having to kneel down or bend her knees. You got a better look at her as well.
Her facial features were indeed youthful, if a little stretched to fit the rest of her frame. If she were of average height, you guessed that she might even be younger than Cindy. Her long, unruly black hair had been braided into pigtails, and looked as if it hadn’t been cut in a few years.
You lifted your other hand to offer the box of flowers to her, and she took it from you with shaking hands. They were even bigger than yours.
You glanced back at Callisto, and she seemed to be staring at the two of you intently. You sensed conflict in her gaze. On one hand, she looked like she wanted to talk to you about something else, but on the other hand, she seemed unwilling to interrupt this peculiar interaction.
What will you do?

She fell silent for a little while after that. You somehow managed to change the subject to the upcoming construction, and how the Morlocks would probably have to temporarily relocate until it was done. You were expecting more friction on that front, but apparently, they were pretty used to having to relocate during an emergency. You tried your very best to not make it seem like you were forcing them out, but you couldn’t help it if some people got that impression.
After a few hours of planning, creating diagrams and taking photos of the area, you sent the relevant information to your contacts and told them to start gathering the necessary materials and equipment.
Feeling satisfied with your efforts, you and Callisto shook on your new deal and promised to keep each other apprised of any new information that popped up. As soon as you could get that greenhouse set up, you would try to figure out how to plant and care for those flowers.
Hopefully, Ethel would be able to keep them alive long enough for that to happen. You would have to try and speed up construction, if at all possible.

Can we also add a vote to hook up the Morlocks with Madame Webb’s board during the timeskip when we knock everything else out as well? It doesn’t seem like the sort of thing that we need another session for, we’ve been generous with the Morlocks so far so I doubt we’d give conditions that would trigger a counter offer.

>>5387748 Are you asking to make a flying suit, but spider-themed? Or are you asking to make a suit that's powered by the experimental energy source that Prowler's looking into?
And as for the Madame Web thing, you'd probably have to talk that over with the Morlocks and explain things to them. Callisto wouldn't really argue about it, but she would probably be really careful about who she'd allow to take commissions.
>>5387887 >>5387912 You can probably just get Prowler to make those. They don't sound like they'd be terribly advanced in this setting.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Tue 30 Aug 2022 16:55:04 No. 5388472 Report For the remainder of that night and a good chunk of the next day, you were running around, making calls left and right in order to get everything you needed to flip the Morlock’s underground home. It was rather exhausting, and far less exciting when you were the one that had to do the coordinating.
For one, those tunnels were super difficult to navigate on your own without a map, so you had to show them exactly where you wanted them to start working, as well as the detailed blueprints that you had drawn up.
Not wanting to keep coming down here every single day, you had a few maps printed out, explaining that they were, under no circumstances, to deviate from the path that you set for them. If they somehow got lost nearby, then they should be able to course correct without too much difficulty. You just had to hope that none of the Morlocks would try to interfere with the project.
If anything, you were confident that Callisto would notice one or two of them sneaking off in their direction, even if she couldn’t see them.
By the time you climbed out of there, your phone chirped a few times, signaling you to the missed texts you had from Cindy.
It would appear that her lessons were done for the day, and she was on her way home. You weren’t terribly worried about her traversing the city on her own. She could take care of herself just fine.
You sent a reply to confirm that you’d seen her messages, and then composed one for Flint. You and he had plans tonight, and it looked like he would be running a little late. You were only slightly offended by this inconvenience, seeing as how these were <span class="mu-i">his</span> plans.
At least this would give you a chance to figure out how you would go about this whole thing.
Tonight, you and he were going to meet with an informant at a bar on the shady part of town. The plan was to go out of costume and try to juice the guy for information, but there were other ways to go about things here.
The guy undoubtedly wanted money for this info. You knew that.
What you didn’t know, however, was how much he’d want, and how reliable the information would be. It's about a week old, and the shelf life of information is pretty damn short. The guy could just be using you to get a quick buck.
On the other hand, you could always let Flint go in alone, and then tail the guy to figure out more about him. Maybe get some blackmail, juice him for more info, or something that could be used to call in a favor later.
So, how do you want to handle this?

>>5388432 Either, honestly. I’d been hoping other anons would jump in with opinions and/or more ideas. Personally, I’d lean the former. Really sets the suit apart from the others since it’d have flight capability.
For the Morlocks discussion, Callisto limiting who does the jobs is fine. It’s not like we’re doing many of Webb’s jobs either. In the meantime, she’s offering up money that no one is taking! That feels like a crime in itself, and the possibility of a small handler fee is just a bonus.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Wed 31 Aug 2022 20:48:49 No. 5389744 Report With your decision made, you sent Flint a few more texts, instructing him on the specifics of your plan, and then rushed home to grab a few things.
—--------
<span class="mu-r">“Hey, Flint. Can you hear me?”</span> you asked, overlooking the street down below from a nearby rooftop.
<span class="mu-g">“Loud an’ clear.”</span> he reported, surprising you with the clarity of his voice.
On this mission, you decided to take advantage of Flint’s unique biology. Sitting where his stomach would normally be, was a tiny speaker that was projecting your voice. Flint had formed an ear made out of sand and placed it near the speaker. Miraculously, the third ear worked the same as a normal one, without any confusing or disorienting complications.
The receiver had been cleverly placed in one of Flint’s teeth. Painlessly, of course. The pliable and adjustable nature of his new body made that sort of thing possible with minimal effort.
The more that you thought about it, the more you realized that Flint would’ve made a damn good S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. It was a good thing that Hill didn’t sink her claws into him. She might’ve tried to recruit him for that secret team of hers.
<span class="mu-r">“Awesome.”</span> you replied. <span class="mu-r">“Just play it cool, and remember not to clench or grind your teeth. I can’t hear as well when you do that.”</span>
You never got a reply, but you could see a faint nod as the green giant stepped into the dingy bar. You were confident that whoever this guy was, he couldn’t hurt Flint any more than you could. The only thing that worried you was the possibility that this guy might try to lead you into a trap.
The familiar noise of rowdy patrons filled your earpiece, and you heard the jolly green giant rattle off a few greetings to the people around him. A few seconds later, you heard the sound of him pulling a chair out and sitting down at a table.
<span class="mu-r">“You’re late.”</span> said a male voice on the other end.
<span class="mu-g">“Sorry. You know how traffic is these days.”</span> Flint said with an easygoing tone.
The other man made a rumble in his throat, but didn’t press the issue.
<span class="mu-g">“But nevermind that.”</span> Flint continued, lowering his voice. <span class="mu-g">“I hear you know something about the guy that gave Silvermane the runaround.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“I know a lot of things. It gets kind of hard to keep track of everything sometimes.”</span> the informant said. <span class="mu-r">“I might need a little something to refresh my memory.”</span>

Absently, you avoided the last couple of stray shots that whizzed past your head as you dove down into the concert hall’s lower levels. You heard shouting from above, which was immediately followed by a ceasefire. Even they knew that it was a waste of time and ammo.
With that out of the way, you focused on traversing this dimly lit maze. Even with your thermal vision, you were having trouble spotting obstacles. And so, you found yourself really leaning into your spider sense, treating your vision as something like a distraction, rather than a navigation tool.
And it was because of this that you were completely unprepared by the flash of blinding light that nearly sent your sprawling to the ground.
You raised a hand to shield your eyes, before remembering to quickly shut off your thermal vision. Through squinted eyes, you spotted two figures standing on stage, one of them burning as brightly as a miniature sun. You couldn’t properly identify the other person, but you had a hunch that it was the Shocker.
Both seemed to be arguing about something very loudly, neither of them having apparently noticed the fact that a firefight had just taken place in the floors above. Or maybe that <span class="mu-i">was</span> what they were fighting about? You couldn’t tell from this distance. You’d have to get closer.
Of course, all these toppled seats were preventing you from doing that without drawing attention to yourself. They were laid down and stacked on top of one another like a makeshift barricade.
Maybe if you approached them from above? Like, hanging from the curved, sloping ceiling. That might work.
Glancing around, you couldn’t see Flint anywhere in this room. You couldn’t believe that he was incapable of finding these two, so he was either hiding, or he had been held up by something, or someone.
What will you do?

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Fri 09 Sep 2022 20:06:53 No. 5398767 Report When you were certain that no one was paying any attention to you, brandished your vibranium-coated knife, aimed it at Max, and whipped it towards his leg with a flick of your wrist. You watched it slice through the air as it twirled end over end, patiently waiting to see whether or not you’d hit your mark.
You weren’t sure what you were expecting, but it certainly wasn’t the spray of blood that resulted from the thrown knife sinking deep into Max’s thigh. He let out a cry of pain and staggered backward. Shocker seemed just as surprised as his partner had been. Both were gaping stupidly at the thrown weapon, watching the sparks dance across it’s metal surface, and the blood seep into the green suit.
He still bleeds. Good to know.
Right as you were preparing to pounce on them, another projectile came flying out from the stands. A thick, tether-like cable whipped around like a bola and tangled itself around Max’s legs and torso, preventing him from removing the knife and leaving him struggling on-stage.
You whirled around to find another squad of mercenaries approaching the stage with weapons raised. These guys seemed to be wearing and carrying much more expensive gear. They somewhat resemble Spartans from Halo with their bulky combat armor.
Some glanced at you dubiously, but most of them kept their attention trained on the other two. Several more projectiles were fired out of under-barrel launchers, and Max suddenly found himself bound in a thick, foam-like substance. He was struggling wildly now, screaming his lungs out before the foam could reach his mouth. All this was apparently preventing him from pulling the knife out or attacking in any meaningful way.
Alright, you take back what you thought about these guys being completely incompetent.
What will you do now?

We should trust in him to make the right call on when to enter.
Wonder if we can dupe the Wild Dogs into thinking he’s a third party and letting us just walk out. We’d have gotten our revenge, after all. For all they know it’s all we wanted.

But before he could get any closer, a sudden and inexplicable sandstorm filled the space in the theater, sending some people to the ground and forcing them to shield their eyes. You watched in awe as a great, cloudy mass wrapped around Max’s limp body and began to lift him into the air.
You could hear the Wild Pack cursing and sputtering behind you as they struggled to regain their bearings.

You snagged it with a well placed webline, yanked it from the wall and snatched it out of the air with relative ease. At the same time, you were using your other arm to pull yourself into the air, and straight through the same hole in the wall that Shocker had escaped out of.
And trailing right behind you, was your partner in crime, tearing out of that stuffy old theater with your prisoner in tow. You took a big gulp of refreshing, non-moldy night air and breathed out a sigh of relief.
Alright. So far, so good. You had Max and the suit that he stole. Now you just had to figure out where you were going.
(I wasn’t sure if that Baxter Building post was only for the meme, or if the support that it got was for retrieving the knife. So I'm having this vote just to be safe, and to make sure that I don't have any misconceptions.)

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Tue 13 Sep 2022 13:33:14 No. 5402843 Report After several, grueling hours, Prowler and Max took a step back to admire their handiwork. With your knife, they had cut off what they could from the suit without damaging some of its more delicate and valuable components. Besides the cutting part, Prowler’s handy dandy utility belt saw more use than your stabbing implement.
From what they could salvage, you saw a pile of advanced technological components stacked inside of a small bin. And from what they were unable to salvage, as they were forced to break or cut through some of it in order to remove the suit, you’d tossed the rest into a separate bin, along with the strips of green cloth that were now missing from the naked form of Maxwell Dillon.
Felicia had made many an innuendo on this topic, and you had all gotten very good at ignoring her when she did. The tension had just been far too thick for you to consider cracking wise. At one point, you felt as if you might choke on it.
But now that the procedure was done, you could breathe a sigh of relief. Absently, you checked your watch, and was surprised to see that it was roughly around midnight.
This whole adventure had taken you well into the night, but you were surprised that it wasn’t as late as it had felt.
<span class="mu-b">“You’re gonna deliver the scraps to Mr. Fantastic, right?”</span> Sam asked, breaking you out of your reverie.
You nodded slowly. <span class="mu-r">“Yeah. I have a feeling that he’s gonna try and fix this thing, but I didn’t want to make it easy for him.”</span>
Sam gave you an expression that told you he doubted the supposed altruism that motivated your actions here tonight.

Long nights in the lab have me feeling a little wrung out.”</span> he said with a chuckle, before extending an unnaturally long arm over to you. At first, you thought he was going for the box, and was just about to yank it away from him, when you realized he was going for a handshake.
Feeling a little silly, you shook his hand and paid close attention to your spider sense. It was completely silent.
<span class="mu-b">“Is that him?”</span> he asked, pointing at a struggling Max. <span class="mu-b">“He’s the one that stole my experimental suit?”</span>
He apparently wasn’t at all bothered by all the web fluid that you’d used to glue Max and the chair to the floor.
Sam took a step forward and a deep breath before speaking. <span class="mu-s">“Actually…he stole it from me. I’m the one that stole it from you.”</span> he admitted.
Reed’s eyes widened, and you could tell that he was surprised at how young the culprit was. Thankfully, however, you didn’t notice any anger in those eyes.
<span class="mu-s">“If I’d known how dangerous it was, I never would’ve taken it.”</span> Sam continued, looking like a kicked puppy.
Reed gave him a considering look and rubbed at his chin thoughtfully.
<span class="mu-b">“My wife tells me that you used an invisible suit to infiltrate the building’s upper levels. What I don’t understand is how you managed to trick our heat sensors and pressure sensitive floors.”</span> he pondered.
<span class="mu-s">“Trust me. It wasn’t easy.”</span> Sam said with a bit of a strained laugh. <span class="mu-s">“I had to case the place for days in order to gather enough data to pull it off.”</span>
Unfortunately, you were forced to stand idly by as both men indulged each other in an expansive and pretentious exchange of nerd jargon and tech terms that you didn’t quite understand.
Eventually, Reed remembered that you were still there and gave you an apologetic look.
<span class="mu-b">“Sorry. We got a little sidetracked here.”</span> he said with a sheepish grin. <span class="mu-b">“Am I to understand that you wish to hand over the suit and the man stuck to that chair?”</span>

Mixed merc work doesn’t seem too damaging either since it helps market us as knowing the enemy (regardless of who is hiring) better than most and we didn’t break contract with anyone technically. If pushed, we can say getting Sam in Reed’s graces was worth any cash we could have gotten elsewhere.

Reed gave you a lopsided grin and shifted the box under one arm so that he could shake your hand again. <span class="mu-b">“Oh! Are you sort of like the ‘Heroes for Hire’?”</span> he asked.
<span class="mu-r">“Something like that.”</span> you lied, not entirely sure of what you were agreeing to. <span class="mu-r">“We can go over the particulars when you’ve got some more time, and a little more shut-eye.”</span>
Reed thanked you with a relieved smile as you handed him a card that you had made for your mercenary business. You were rather excited to whip it out, since you just had these made.
<span class="mu-b">“I’ll be sure to keep you in mind.”</span> he promised. <span class="mu-b">“I don’t think anyone around here would complain about having a little extra help every now and again.”</span>
And with that, you said your goodbyes to both men, and swiftly left the building before you could see the look of disappointment on Mr. Fantastic’s face when he finally got a better look at the mangled remains of his experimental suit.
On your way out, you couldn’t help but tussle Max’s hair, just to get one last rise out of him. And to your great delight, he didn’t disappoint. That last tantrum actually caused his chair to topple over, so that his face was stuck to the floor.
—--
While you were swinging home, still struggling not to laugh, you were left wondering whether the state of the Slip suit would affect your chances of getting a job offer. At the very least, Sam was probably out of trouble for the time being. He even scored a sweet internship with the fucking Fantastic Four!
Who ever said that crime doesn’t pay!?

With the rest of the day to yourself, you decided to spend it with Prowler. Together, the two of you cooked up a storm, crafting all sorts of gadgets and watching Prowler experiment with Adrian’s power source.
Once he could figure out how to stabilize it properly, he and Sam could get to work on making that cloaking tech. Maybe you could even do something with that Unicorn horn and the pieces you ripped off of Max’s suit.
What will you make?(Feel free to choose multiple options)

>>5405796 >Try to create something entirely new.(Write-in.) The suit absorbed and discharged energy while the horn worked as a kind of focusing array, right? See if we can build an energy-based equivalent to a rocket launcher or drill out of them.
Size isn’t a strict concern for me. I’m envisioning it like a turret-mounted machine gun where it’s too large to use personally but can be set up. Given our group’s focus on infiltration and thievery, it’d see the most use as a breaching weapon to get into secured areas.
It would need to be something that is assembled and disassembled on the field. It’d be too hard to cart around otherwise. If that’s not possible, it’d need to be relegated to jobs where we know we have time to set it up and get it safely stored away which probably aren’t going to come up much.
A personal-sized version might be good enough for destroying locks or melting things, but I don’t want to break up the horn and that caveat might make it too unwieldy. A recharging weapon is a good thing to have though, especially since it’s hitscan unlike everything else in our arsenal. If a personal version can be built that can be plugged into the larger “fuck this vault” setup so we can use the smaller version when the big one did the job, even better.

Taser webs would be a bit weird to pull off, considering how your web fluid is organic. The current would most certainly lead back to you if you tried to shock someone else with it. You'd either need artificial web-shooters, a device that both electrified your webline and insulated it to a point where it wouldn't hurt you.
As an example, I think the Prowler would be able to make better use of this than you, assuming that you allowed him to make use of(or replicate) your web fluid formula.

Out of everyone, Prowler had the brightest, and most garish costume. It was bright red, with black slashes around his claws, and a checkered pattern running down his torso. On multiple points throughout his costume, you saw the symbols for card suits. Spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds lined his eyes, chest, arms and shoulders.

You were simultaneously trying to pay attention to her words and the fluffy white nub of a tail that had been poking out of her backside.
<span class="mu-r">“The answer to that question, ladies and gentlemen, is floating around in this very jar.”</span> she continued, stopping at a metal table where she picked up and shook a glass jar. And hovering above that glass, was a single, solitary bee. <span class="mu-r">“<span class="mu-s">BEES</span>!”</span>
Flint and Felicia gave her odd looks, and Prowler just turned to face you with an expression that just screamed “Told you so”.
<span class="mu-r">“And now, you must be asking yourselves why we would even bother stealing bees in the first place!”</span> she said, bringing the glass jar up to stare straight through it. <span class="mu-r">“And the answer to that is quite simple, and it’s <span class="mu-s">STILL</span> in this very same jar. You see, inside the head of this tiny bee is the mind of a German, Nazi scientist! His name is Dr. Fritz von Meyer, and he apparently managed to transfer his consciousness into a swarm of bees!”</span>
No one interrupted her as she went further into her tirade. There really were no words that you could use to describe what you were feeling at this very moment.
<span class="mu-r">“But he got a little separated from the rest of his hive.”</span> Lorina continued. <span class="mu-r">“So we’re gonna go around the city stealing a bunch of bees, so that we can help him bulk up a bit. He’s crucial to the next part of my plan.”</span>
You glanced around the room, taking in the expressions of your teammates before opening your mouth.
Cat was grinning from ear to ear, struggling to contain herself after being exposed to the absurdity of this supposed “Crime of the Century”.
Flint was still scratching his head and staring intently at the bee, as if he would spot some detail that confirmed the validity of her claims. And Prowler…
Well, let’s just say that he was almost about ready to storm out, right then and there.

>”But that won’t stop him from going outside and stinging as many people as he can.” I don’t actually have a problem with this, it’ll continue making a distraction and killing random bystanders on the street is a bad idea if he wants to escape a hero response. Injuring them means people have to stay behind and help instead of chasing him. I’m curious how she responds though.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Wed 21 Sep 2022 17:13:16 No. 5410851 Report A sharp ringing sound from the front suddenly drew your attention to a familiar, short-haired woman entering the shop. Her features were hidden with a reasonably fashionable trench coat and a pair of nondescript sunglasses, but anyone who knew her face wouldn’t normally be fooled by such a casual disguise.
Maria Hill quickly crossed the room in 4 or 5 long strides, before sitting down directly across from you. She seemed to be carrying a briefcase of some sort at her side.
<span class="mu-b">“Huntsman,”</span> she began. <span class="mu-b">“What’s this I hear about you having a Nazi bee?”</span>
You tapped the jar’s lid. <span class="mu-r">“Director Hill, say hello to Dr. Fritz von Meyer. Or…part of him, at least.”</span>
Maria frowned and leaned closer to get a better look at it. The bee was buzzing angrily and bumping around inside the jar now.
Slowly and deliberately, Hill made a show of reaching into her coat pocket and pulling out what looked like a price tag scanner. She pointed it at the jar, pulled the trigger and the device projected a green ray of light.
After moving it up and down the jar a few times, the device beeped and Hill’s frown deepened. For a moment, you were a bit worried that White Rabbit somehow got the wrong bee, or just outright lied to you for some unknown reason. But your worries were quickly vanquished when Hill replaced the scanner and placed her briefcase onto the table. Upon opening it, she revealed a cubical containment unit that was most likely meant to hold the jar until she could get back up to the Helicarrier.
<span class="mu-b">“I’m not going to bother asking how you came across him, or how you trapped him like this, so let’s make it simple.”</span> Hill offered. <span class="mu-b">“What is it that you want for him?”</span>
>Rub your fingers together. ”Money, of course.” >”I want information.” (What do you want to know?) >”I honestly just want this guy off the streets. Call it community service or an appeal to morality, but he sounds like bad news.” >”What are you gonna do with him?” >”Why, I just wanted an excuse to see you. We’re both so busy with work and we can never get a moment alone together these days.” >Write-in. Pastebins:

For a long moment, Maria Hill said nothing and remained completely still in her seat. She removed her sunglasses and leveled a cold, measured look at you. If you weren’t able to see both of her hands right at this very moment, you were liable to think that she might shoot you, spider sense be damned.
She opened her mouth, closed it again, and then pressed her lips into a thin line before allowing herself to speak again. <span class="mu-b">“Nick Fury hasn’t been seen or heard from in almost five years now.”</span> she said, but you had a feeling that she wasn’t being entirely truthful with you. <span class="mu-b">“What makes you think we can track down one of his agents? Better yet, how do you know one of his agents in the first place? Who are they to you?”</span>
You remained silent, contemplating your next move.
<span class="mu-b">“If you want me to pass along a message, then I’m going to need a codename or a real name.”</span> Hill demanded. <span class="mu-b">“Unless you don’t even have that.”</span>

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:0rUfvXqO Thu 22 Sep 2022 16:09:17 No. 5411819 Report You opened your mouth to speak, glanced at the bee and then immediately thought better of it.
<span class="mu-r">“Do you mind sticking Fritz here back in the case? I don’t want Mengele Jr. hearing any dirty details.”</span> you said.
Hill glanced at the jar, nodded, and then motioned for you to move it further back. Presumably, to make room for the briefcase that she’d brought in. She placed the leather container onto the table, entered a code, and opened it up before your very eyes. Inside was a type of black memory foam that could likely take the shape of whatever was stored inside. This theory of yours was proven right once Hill had placed the jar flat on its side, only for said container to sink deeper into the briefcase, the memory foam molding itself around the bee’s glass prison. As she went to snap the briefcase shut, the bee’s mad buzzing became completely inaudible, plunging the empty café back into its usual, uncomfortable silence.
After placing the briefcase back down by her feet, Hill gestured for you to continue, apparently indicating that it was now safe for the two of you to talk.
So you took a deep breath, and went on to describe Mary Fitzgerald as best you could. From what Rich told you, Hill should be able to more or less recreate her profile in her mind.
<span class="mu-r">“...Her name’s Mary Fitzgerald. One of my clients hired me to look into her.”</span> you lied smoothly.
Hill’s assessing gaze never left your face the entire time. You got the distinct feeling that she knew you were holding something back. That you were telling an incomplete truth. You were more or less counting on that.
If she wanted to know more about you, and what connection you and Mary might share, then she was going to have to do some digging. It was a huge gamble on your part, and you knew that you would have to either reinforce or replace the lies that you were feeding her, but that was entirely dependent on the hope that she wouldn’t immediately call you out on your shit.
The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. remained silent for a long while, only waiting until you were done speaking to get a word in herself.
<span class="mu-b">“And this ‘Mary Fitzgerald’,”</span> Hill began. <span class="mu-b">“If I do manage to get a hold of her, what sort of message do you want to deliver to her?”</span>
