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"! But it's not all bad! Your clone brother, Abel Parker, works to protect the city, and potentially help clean up some of your messes. He goes by the name of "Spider-Man"!

https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Max%20Spider%20Quest Last time: After spending the day with his family, the Huntsman finally expressed his devotion to Silvermane's Maggia. There, he was introduced to his new team of super-criminals, as well as Silvermane's very own son! And with the aid of the Kingpin of Las Vegas, the Huntsman and the Manfredi's decide to create a biotech company and use it as their base of operations.
But now, the time has come for the Desperados to give their best wishes to their good friend Hobie (AKA "The Prowler") as he takes his leave from the team. And with his departure, comes the Desperado's newest member!
Can she fill the void that the Prowler's absence will leave? And with the team's most reliable ally departing for deep space, how will the senior Desperados manage to hold it all together in the face of a brutal Gang War?
But most importantly, will Callisto remember to feed Barkley? What does he even eat?
Find out more in the latest issue of…MAXIMUM SPIDER QUEST!

<span class="mu-g">“So you’re making bets now.”</span> Hobie said.
<span class="mu-r">“It wouldn’t be the first time. With you gone, Flint might actually be able to hold onto his money.”</span> you said.
You all shared a light chuckle at that. It was strange seeing Prowler in such a cheerful mood. Or maybe you just weren’t used to seeing his face. Him showing up in his civvies really made this feel real.
After tonight, The Prowler would be stepping away from a life of crime. He’d made a fortune, and he was walking away. Hopefully to a better life.
You supposed that for Hobie, crime was just…a hobby.
Heh. You should totally include that in your farewell speech. But you were getting ahead of yourself. The night was still young, after all.

Because this would cost about $2 Mil for each ring. For enchanted gear that allows you to teleport from one place to another, regardless of distance, with built-in safeguards.
>You managed to track down and nab the gem from your very first heist as a group from some other criminals. No need to worry about finding a buyer this time! This is definitely doable if you decide to go for this instead.

>>5904439 Ah, I wasn’t thinking of the rings being a teleport, just the equivalent of a compass that can point you in the right direction. Good enough to at least point to Ben’s pocket dimension if someone was in there as well and it was nearby, but maybe unreliable for real astral stuff. He’s got no real way to stress test it, and it sounds like the sort of thing a salesman would toss in that might be exaggerated. It’s not a feature he was looking for though so he just shrugged his shoulders at it.
Besides, something with too much juice might get the wrong sort of attention on Hobie if it’s noticed. We’re not looking to get him mugged by the first magical criminal he runs across for his jewelry.
>Contact chain for rings >>Madame Webb for information on whether the rings are feasible. It’s kinda like ring telepathy/astral projection, right? >>>Okay, it’s not her wheelhouse and she groaned when Ben asked like he’s some magical doofus who can’t tell she’s obviously not a specialist in magical artifacts, but she confirmed it was possible. She doesn’t have a good person for him to reach out to for it though, the people she knows are far too busy. >Put out feelers with Moon Knight and Louise for dealers in magical artifacts for civilians. >Louise doesn’t have contacts with the Nightguard anymore and they’re more militant anyway so she turns up nothing, but Moon Knight knows of some small-time dealers who can do basic enchanting. >>Moon Knight agrees to arrange for the rings to be made and delivered to him for a small fee through his contacts, Ben agrees. I’m surprised we don’t have Louise or Moon Knight in our contacts list. I know they’ve had it rough with us, but I didn’t think we were that bad…
>Gem present Hobie laughs and pulls out the real one. He actually worked with Ember and Flint not too long ago to steal it, wanting to see if Huntsman was right to bring her in before he left. She did an alright job, but didn’t replace the gem. Which means both of them must have been fooled by a fake that the criminals had made to pass off as the real thing, either to sell multiple copies or because they wanted to pretend they still had it for now. Hobie and Ember had no idea about the gift, they beat them by coincidence. Flint knew Ben’s plans, but kept his mouth shut for the punchline. Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky

>I’m surprised we don’t have Louise or Moon Knight in our contacts list. I know they’ve had it rough with us, but I didn’t think we were that bad… There are certain people that aren't in the Contacts list because you don't have a way of directly contacting her. You know people that know her that can get in touch with her, but you can't reach her as fast as you could Julia.
Even during the Silvertongue fiasco, she was using a burner phone. She constantly switches numbers and uses a variety of contacts and resources to send and receive messages. If she wanted to get in contact with you or find out what you were doing, she could. And vice versa.
Only, it would be slower than what you were used to, depending on where she is.
As for MK, he's more of a walk-in appointment kind of guy. If you need him, for anything, you can visit the Midnight Mission or leave a message with his receptionist.
The list doesn't depict who you know, it lists the people that you can contact whenever you want(sort of). It's why Luke and Danny are on there. You didn't really bond or anything during your time working together, but the Heroes For Hire make appointments through phone call, so they let you know that they're available if you ever want to request their services.
I'll let you know what your reputation is looking like at the the end of Year One. >>5904439 I'll try and post an update sometime tomorrow after work.

Tell you what, what would it cost to add a couple permanent spots in your rotation and get some “free meal every day” discount cards for some friends here and elsewhere?” >”If you’re cool with mutants, I can buy some catering events for some groups I know. They’re not rich, but they have cooler stories. If they go well, we can arrange a regular event for it with some of the leaders.” I’m now envisioning Central Park (or somewhere near it) having an area cleared out every other month for a bunch of food carts and other goods. Cards handed out for discounted rates/free merch by the homeless mutant groups, but normal people can shop like normal too with smaller discounts. It’s a way of getting the homeless mutant community interacting with outsiders while enjoying some benefits. It’d be a magnet for trouble, but if Glass and Iara really believe in being out in the open then it’s a way to start breaking down barriers among normal humans and mutants.
For permanent spots, I’m thinking near Cindy’s school and someplace near the apartments where Araña is at. It’s not a live-in chef, but she can get a meal easy on some days and will probably know where Ameyama is parked at on other days if she really wants the food.
I’m also okay with skipping the permanent spot idea and just going with the free meal cards and a couple catering events.

He just chuckled and shook his head. You thought about bothering Prowler real quick to see where his head was it, but he was already on his second beer, so you decided to let him enjoy it for a while.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4jtIDaeaWI The song began without warning, with Benga scatting and her friend clapping along with the beat. The rhythm quickly became contagious, as you, Cat and Flint brought your hands together to match Araña’s pace.
The words crawled up a blue tinted screen in white text, while the music video for the song was projected onto the wall behind them. And it wasn’t long after this that the two girls broke into a synchronized dance that practically mirrored that of the dancers in the video, with a few improvised moves mixed in for good measure.
Felicia was practically screaming her encouragement of the two during their performance, and Ember was hard pressed to peel her eyes off of them while she was still browsing through the catalog.
Those girls were phenomenal on the dance floor. They played off of each other well, seeming as if they’d practiced this routine many times before. It became easy for you to picture them putting on a performance for passersby and tourists out in the streets of Las Vegas.
Maybe this had been something that they did often before they came under Gloria’s employ.
Unfortunately however, the song was only about three minutes long, and their performance was over before you knew it. Cheers erupted from everyone present at the party. Some were more enthusiastic than others, though.
It was you.
<span class="mu-i">You</span> were more enthusiastic than others. And Black Cat, but you weren’t sure if that was because she was genuinely impressed, or if she was starting to get a bit sloshed.
<span class="mu-r">“Now <span class="mu-i">that</span> is going to be a hard performance to beat. I’m gonna need some liquid courage.”</span> you said, snagging a cold beer with one webline, and Araña’s microphone with the other.
<span class="mu-r">“Hey!”</span> she cried.
<span class="mu-r">“Oh, you were done anyway. Go grab a juice-box or something. You’re probably getting dehydrated after all that dancing.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Fine. I bet it would be better than the gut-rot that you had your boy pick up.”</span> Araña said, giving you a cheeky grin and walking off towards the refreshments table with Benga trailing behind her. Flint looked mildly offended by that, since he had been the one to pick out the beer. But looking back on it, maybe it had been a bad idea to let the only guy without taste buds pick out the drinks.
That didn't mean that his tastes prior to the transformation had been stellar, though. And it probably had no bearing on his choices tonight, but you did find yourself amused at the irony of it all.
<span class="mu-r">"Scuse me. Just need to borrow this for a sec."</span> you said, suspending your beer on a webline that was hanging from the ceiling, and using your free hand to snatch the tablet out of Ember's hands.

You ignored the exchange and quickly selected your song. You'd decided on it long before anyone here even knew about the karaoke machine. And while it might not be a legendary performance on the same level as Araña's opening acts, but you were going to sing your heart out regardless.
Out of the corner of your eye, you spotted Flint with his phone out. You hadn't noticed it before, but he had probably been recording since the very beginning. Maybe you could get him to send you the footage after this.

You tossed the tablet back at Cat, brought the mic up to your mouth and pointed directly at Hobie.
<span class="mu-r">“Prowler, you beautiful bastard, this one goes out to you.”</span>
He raised an eyebrow at that, and Felicia and Araña were soon hollering as if your statement had been a particularly promiscuous one. And it only got worse once the music finally kicked in.
<span class="mu-g">“Prowler’s not here right now.”</span> Hobie called back.
<span class="mu-g">“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that he sees this.”</span> Flint chuckled.
Hobie just shook his head.
<span class="mu-g">“I swear I’m never putting that mask on ever again. I’m changing my name <span class="mu-i">and</span> my costume.”</span> he proclaimed.
<span class="mu-b">“You do that, and we’ll have to do this all over again. You’ll be treated like the new guy on the team.”</span> Cat countered, giving him a devious grin. <span class="mu-b">“I hope you’re good at making coffee runs.”</span>
Ember gave her a startled look. She was most likely trying to figure out whether Felicia was joking or not. You would’ve liked to join in on the jokes, but you were too busy singing your heart out and staring deep into Hobie’s brown eyes. And as he quickly found out, it was profoundly simple to maintain eye contact with someone when you were wearing a full face-mask. You couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride when you got him to look away first.
From what you could tell, the audience was enjoying your performance immensely. You always thought that you were a decent singer, but like Araña, you were great at hamming it up. Your exaggerated gestures and enthusiasm more than made up for the lack of coordinated dancing. Because singing karaoke wasn’t at all about showcasing skill. It was about letting loose, having fun, laughing at others, and being able to laugh at yourself. You didn’t have to be perfect. You just had to be yourself.
By the time your song ended, you hoped that you’d managed to get your message across. Ember, Hobie and Flint were the only ones who hadn’t sung yet.
<span class="mu-g">“Nice going there, Benny.”</span> Flint said, giving you a heavy pat on the shoulder.
<span class="mu-b">“I don’t know about Prowler, but you had <span class="mu-i">me</span> swooning towards the end there.”</span> Cat said with a subtle purr in her voice.
<span class="mu-r">“Eh, it was a little too sappy for my tastes, but I thought you did alright.”</span> Araña put in.
You were about to ask Ember what she thought when she shoved the tablet into your chest.
<span class="mu-r">“Hold this for me. It’s <span class="mu-s">my</span> turn.”</span>
You blinked in surprise for a moment, but you were quickly shouting your encouragement along with the others as she stepped up to grab the microphone.
And when the music started, you didn’t even have to glance at the tablet to see what she’d chosen.

It was “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers! The reactions amidst the audience varied between amusement and exasperation upon recognizing the song. It was such a familiar song that pretty much anyone could sing along. And for some people, that’s exactly what happened.
You, Cat and Araña found yourselves joining in on her song, letting the waves of nostalgia flow through you along with the reverberating beat of the music. A few times, you even caught Flint, Hobie and Benga mouthing the words mouthing the words to themselves.
After the song had finished, Ember proceeded to chug an entire can of beer and was about to pick another song, but you stopped her from getting her hands on the tablet. After all, it was Flint’s turn.
—--
The big man groaned at the attention that he was receiving. Unlike everyone else, he didn’t have the benefit of having his judgment impaired by alcohol. But Flint Marko was no coward. He was a lot of things, but you would never call him a coward. In many ways, he was far braver than you.
The guy was even committed to leaving his home planet for the woman he loved. His unwavering loyalty was something to be admired, for sure, but the same couldn’t be said about his musical talents.
So, despite the fact that you both knew he couldn’t carry a tune to save his life, he picked an old song that he was very comfortable with singing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xmckWVPRaI (“We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister)
This was another one of those songs that everyone could sing along to. And this time, everyone joined in. Maybe it was the beer, the good food, or the generally cheery atmosphere, but not even the Prowler could refuse to have fun for this long. Especially when this could be his last night as a Desperado.
The thought of that saddened you momentarily, but you quickly shoved it back down and went back to cheering on your best friend. No matter how tone-deaf he was, you couldn’t help but think that he looked like a star out there.
Right before the song ended, though, you snuck over to stand beside Hobie and slipped the tablet into his free hand.
<span class="mu-r">“Clock’s ticking, pal. Sooner or later, you’re gonna have to take the spotlight. This is your party, after all.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“That depends on whether you’ve got any decent songs on this thing.”</span> he replied, scrolling through the catalog so fast that you doubted he could even see what he was looking at.
<span class="mu-r">“I seem to remember you singing along to the last two.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Hey man, a classic is a classic for a reason.”</span>
His finger paused its rapid scrolling for a moment, and his eyes widened momentarily.
<span class="mu-g">“And speaking of classics…”</span> he muttered, quickly selecting a song and giving you back the tablet.
When you looked at it, your eyes widened as well.
<span class="mu-r">“No way…”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Watch and learn.”</span> Hobie said, waving back at you without turning around.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPO76Jlnz6c (“Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio)
Felicia’s initial shock took a few moments to wear off before she properly got into the swing of things, but it didn’t take long for her to join the others in singing along.
It was just like what Hobie had said earlier. A classic is a classic for a reason.
But more than that, you found yourself surprised by his enthusiasm while singing. If you didn’t know any better, you would’ve thought that he was actually excited to be singing this.
During the entire four minutes that he was up there, you and Felicia were his biggest fans, hyping him up to the best of your ability as a reward for his having gotten up there to sing at all. For a moment there, you were afraid that he would absolutely refuse to participate at all, since he didn’t seem like the type. But, as it would appear, appearances can be deceiving.
—-----
As the night continued, various Desperados and “Desperado-adjacent” members got back up to sing a few more songs.
Ember, to your amazement, was willing to go back up there five more times.

Araña got up two more times, with one of those being alongside a begrudging Benga.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvTqknDobU (“Radioactive” Imagine Dragons)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V_xRb0x9aw (“Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz)
And you got up there one last time to sing Chop Suey. Just for fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSvFpBOe8eY (“Chop Suey” by System of a Down)
The lyrics were a bit tricky for you to sing, but that only gave the audience something to laugh at, so you didn't mind in the slightest.
More importantly, it gave you time to think of what you would say once the song was over. You didn't <span class="mu-i">exactly</span> have a concrete speech planned, but you had some highlights that you wanted to go over at some point during the party. And then there was the matter of your gift.
You felt much better about giving him a ring after serenading him an hour ago.

Heroes. Vigilantes. Super-Villains. Anti-heroes. And even super-criminals such as yourself. Much like Prowler said, you’re basically fighting against the very city itself. And as much as he’d hate to admit it, he most likely said that for Ember’s benefit, as much as yours.
So, just like everyone else, you contributed to the slow, uncertain applause that Hobie’s speech had earned him. The mood was a bit somber for a while after that, but it quickly picked up again after Cat and Araña got back up to sing some karaoke.

According to Ember, the combat training course required a bit more finesse. The pixels involved were denser, and the “coding” she used for them had to be more responsive to account for weak spots, counter attacks, and any otherwise intelligent reaction.
There were multiple difficulties as well. And each difficulty would decide which enemies you fought, and how many you would fight at once.
Which difficulty will you choose?

>>5924250 , it’s easy to mix in with the punches targeting the wolf and pony.
We can’t only zone a few fighters and there’s too many to keep our pistols on them. We can make their footwork more difficult with our webs though. Ground webs can’t be beaten with just one or two slashes, and they’re effectively fireproof.
Hopefully most of these characters have weaker air game than ground game. I’m sure ours is fairly strong.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:HwNXc6BF Wed 14 Feb 2024 00:02:51 No. 5925374 Report Without hesitation, you whipped out the pistols that you snagged from the Chameleon and started firing at the two that were rushing straight towards you.
The horse was sent flying by the barrage, seemingly taking the most damage of the two, while Giovanna used her spirit wolf to block the shots meant for her.
Before your opponent could reach you, though, you sent a precise web shot at the horse's mouth, gluing it shut so as to prevent it from using its lasso or biting you. You really had no idea what it intended to do to you after closing the distance, but you didn’t care to find out.
And there was certainly a joke to be made about horses and glue, but your thoughts were interrupted by the heavy kick that the wolf lady had aimed at your head. It was packing enough power behind it that the forearm you'd used to block the attack was <span class="mu-i">throbbing</span>. She was far stronger than she looked.
With your free hand, you fired a couple of quick shots at her torso, sending her flying backwards in an overly dramatic fashion.
Immediately afterwards, you flipped around in mid-air and fired a bullet straight at the center of Ryu's projectile. Both bullet and spirit ball exploded when they made contact with one another, canceling each other out. Ryu responded by immediately firing another one, and you groaned in irritation.
Kazuya inched forward yet again, but he was still a ways off from Yoshimitsu or the other rushdown characters.
Speaking of the demonic swordsman…
A blur of flashing steel came whirling towards you, and you had to roll underneath it to avoid being beheaded or sliced in half.
Yoshimitsu was currently spinning past you with his sword held out. If you had been prepared for it, you might have been able to launch a counter-attack. But it was too late. He was already recovering, and Giovanna was already on you again a moment later, her wolf's jaws opened wide as if to swallow you whole.
What will you do?

You focused the majority of your attacks on the prone Yoshimitsu, preventing him from getting back up and using his sword. You tuned out the cow’s pained grunts and muffled screams to the best of your ability, relentlessly pummeling the cyborg samurai with her as if you were an overly aggressive kid in a pillow fight. Thankfully, your weapon was a light construct, so she had no bones to break or any blood to bleed. So when she’d expended her usefulness, her body flashed brightly, before fizzling out of existence.

If you had time to waste on winding a fist back to strike him, then you could at least hit him along the way. You were strong enough where even slight movements like that were considered dangerous.
It was then that Callisto’s lessons were finally starting to click into place. She wasn’t trying to turn you into a martial arts master. She was trying to teach you how to use what you already had in spades.
You were the goddamned <span class="mu-s">Huntsman</span>. Everything <span class="mu-i">about</span> you was lethal if you wanted it to be. Your enhanced strength, speed and durability made you into a living weapon. All you needed was someone to show you how to use your gifts.
By the time Yoshimitsu had been able to get anywhere close to cutting himself free, he was already fading out in a burst of pixels as you <span class="mu-i">literally</span> punched him to pieces.
You were being too nice before. Sometimes, in order to win, brutality was required. Brutality, and a bit of desperation. You needed to fight like your life depended on it. Like a cornered rat, or some other feral animal.
The sound of nearby cheering was somewhat drowned out by your heart hammering in your ears and the sound of your own breath filling up your mask. You tried to focus on that as you locked eyes with your last two remaining opponents. Ryu was still shooting slow-moving projectiles, but your spider sense made it easy enough to anticipate where they’d be. Plus, you were pretty sure that you had a good idea of their max range.
Both Ryu and Kazuya had taken combat-ready stances, and were trying to anticipate your next move.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:HwNXc6BF Thu 22 Feb 2024 00:22:46 No. 5932363 Report Waves of heat flowed down into the ground through your hands and feet, causing the ground below you to sizzle.
Seeing as how Kazuya didn't wear any shoes, you figured that he'd have a lot of trouble stepping onto super-heated concrete. And your theory was proven correct when Kazuya immediately jumped away after getting too close to you.
The only downside was that the change in temperature made it so that the airflow around your arms changed drastically, making it slightly harder to perceive his movements.
That being said, you had to rely on your sense of hearing, your faint seismic sense, and your much stronger spider sense to win this fight.
You advanced on Kazuya, striking at him with burning hands and grabbing hold of his limbs whenever he attempted to retaliate. This strategy earned you more than a few bruises as you settled on the strategy of blindly striking at him and chasing him down by crawling at his feet when he tried to back off.
He clearly didn't like this new rhythm, as his inability to keep his feet in contact with the ground didn't allow him any room for clean counter-attacks.
And soon enough, your rapid strikes started to chip away at his hard-light body. You couldn't actually see the damage that had been building up, but you could sense the parts of his body that were starting to fade away.
At some point, you even let the flames shroud your entire body as you latched onto Kazuya and tore at his simulated flesh. You took a few unnecessary hits in the process, but you couldn't complain about the results.
Kazuya's avatar faded into pixels and flew back towards Ember, leaving you alone with Ryu in the ring. It was to your great fortune that Ember didn’t have enough time to code in another form for Kazuya. You were starting to get curious about what she could accomplish if she really took her time.
<span class="mu-r">“Thanks for being patient and waiting your turn.”</span> you said, turning your head in Ryu’s direction. <span class="mu-r">"You know, aside form the time that you kicked me in the spine."</span>
Your senses told you that he had changed stances, and was now prepared to engage you in combat.
What will you do?

Despite the fact that you left out Araña, she didn’t move to correct you.

You just shrugged.
<span class="mu-r">“I dunno. Get creative.”</span>
Ember sighed and returned her attention to Flint. She bit her lip, tapping the side of her face as she thought. After a minute, she snapped her fingers and conjured up a small pixel creation in her hands.
It was a blue helmet with a sleek, dark visor and a golden crest on the front.
<span class="mu-r">“Here. This was the most uncomplicated thing that I could think of, aside from shoes.”</span>
Flint slowly accepted the helmet and slid it onto his head. You all looked at him. He looked at all of you. And then…he started to laugh. Soon enough, you were all laughing with him.
It was a silly thing. He had only gotten that one piece of gear, but it seemed to make him happy. Even if it made him look like a fusion between Judge Dredd and The Goon. He was <span class="mu-i">just</span> trying to figure out if it could fire lasers out of the visor, when you dragged him down to your level and affectionately rubbed your knuckles on top of his shiny new helmet.
And privately, when she thought no one was looking, Ember discreetly confirmed her desire to meet Spider-Man.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:HwNXc6BF Wed 28 Feb 2024 03:47:34 No. 5938206 Report As soon as you woke up the next day, you snuck out of your hideout, careful not to step on any of the trash that littered your floor, and swung out into the city to meet up with Cindy. But not before snapping a pic of Ember passed out on Flint in the shape of a beanbag.
Unlike the other Desperados, Cindy and her roommate had woken up bright and early for training. When you asked to meet up with them, though, your ward sent you an address for an old, run down gym in Hell’s Kitchen that Matt referred her to. And with the aid of your newly acquired flight power, you got there a lot sooner than either of you anticipated.
There Cindy stood on an empty sidewalk in front of the gym, scrolling through her phone with her one good hand. Her other one was in a sling and a cast, while her left foot was in a boot.
Hoping to give her a scare, you came crashing down right beside her, emerald flames still wisping off of your suit.
Cindy gave you an unimpressed look from above.
<span class="mu-r">“What? Not even a shriek?”</span> you asked, still squatting down in your signature pose.
Cindy gave you a wry grin.
<span class="mu-s">“I heard you coming a block away, and I spotted you on my phone's camera.”</span> she said, waving her phone back and forth.
<span class="mu-r">“I should've never bought you that thing.”</span> you said, rising to your full height and wrapping her in a gentle hug.
<span class="mu-r">“Sorry I couldn't be there for your discharge. How do you feel?”</span>
Cindy shrugged.
<span class="mu-s">“I'm fine. It doesn’t hurt or anything.”</span> she said, putting her boot on its heel and turning it back and forth on the ground in front of you.
You've always known that Cindy had an unreasonably high pain tolerance, but you were worried that she would push her body too far one day.
<span class="mu-r">“Just because you can't feel it, doesn't mean you aren't hurt.”</span> you said, putting a hand on her sling.
She smiled at that.
<span class="mu-s">“Khonshu fixes whatever I can’t sleep off overnight, so there's no permanent damage. And since I can't feel it, I don't worry about it, you know?”</span>
You frowned at her, not liking her blatant disregard for personal safety.
<span class="mu-s">“Oh, hey! Do you wanna sign my cast? You can be the second.”</span> Cindy offered. <span class="mu-s">“Wanda cut in front of you, sorry.”</span>
She offered you a marker and you stared down at it.
What will you do?
>Sign it as Ben Parker. Even if she won't be wearing it for that long, it'll be a nice keepsake. >Sign it as the Huntsman. She can brag about it at school later. >Sign it as Spider-Man. You can steal his spot, and he can steal yours. >(Write-in a custom message) >”Cindy, we really need to talk about this. You need to be more careful.” >Write-in. Pastebins:

It’s an excuse to hang out and talk about things.” Give her a way to talk to Silvermane’s daughter about us to indirectly show she can share more with Cindy about her own family. She’d recognize who we are after all. Alternately, Miles might appreciate it as a gift.
I just don’t want her getting mobbed at school for having a connection with us. Groupies are something she doesn’t have enough experience in dealing with.

Not a spar or a match with a referee, but a <span class="mu-s">real</span> fight. Her forms were too clean and polished, and she was clearly a bit nervous about being in the ring with you.
As for the punches that she didn't dodge, she took them well, protecting her weak spots, and stepping back when she felt she was being overwhelmed.

If she can scale it up into throws, even better. We can afford to be chucked around like a ragdoll.

>>5940803 >Teach her some wrestling moves. They'll do her good in a street fight. I was initially gonna go with the evasion and damage dispersion bit, but grappling IS essential for street fights. Especially against armed opponents.
Every goon with a gun is tough until you pin their hands and steal their piece in a scramble.
>>5940812 >If she can scale it up into throws, even better. My thoughts exactly. If she can incorporate some legit old-school Judo into her style, she'll be a threat to just about anybody around her size.
That said, she could also stand to put on some weight if she gets into Judo. There's no martial art where being smaller and weaker is better after all.

<span class="mu-r">“Alright. Let’s see that shoulder toss.”</span>
Wanda gave you a confused look, but she quickly understood when you crawled past her and came up behind in the blink of an eye. She tried to turn in time, but you were far too slippery.
By the time your arm was slipping around her neck, she was grabbing your waist and twisting her own to get her right leg behind yours. Then, she fell backwards on purpose, sending you down with her.
<span class="mu-r">“That wasn't a shoulder toss, but I'll take it.”</span> you said, releasing her and slowly rising to your feet.

Scorekeeper !!urZ1qzDpXky ID:HwNXc6BF Tue 05 Mar 2024 01:59:08 No. 5943526 Report For the remainder of your time in the ring, you allowed Wanda to practice her submission holds on you. And with Cindy’s help, you were able to show her what works, what doesn't, and what she needs to improve on.
And for you, that involved an awful lot of this teenager putting you in compromising positions, and threatening to cut off your air supply.
But you were a big boy. You could take it. Although, part of you was surprised that she didn't freak out from being in such close proximity to you during your spar. Maybe she really was serious about this whole sidekick thing.
—-------
<span class="mu-r">“...So. How'd I do?”</span> Wanda asked, gasping for breath. She'd been practicing her moves on you for at least two hours now. She was drenched in sweat, and a decent amount of it had gotten on your new suit.
She gave you a look that was stuck somewhere between confusion and envy.
You gave her two thumbs up from your perch atop one of the ring posts, barely having broken a sweat during the entire ordeal.
This much wasn't enough to get you tired, and your body wasn't as sensitive to overheating as it had once been. Not that Wanda knew any of that, of course.
<span class="mu-s">“You're doing better than I expected you to. Of course, we'll have to work on that grip strength of yours.”</span> Cindy observed, looking thoughtful.
Wanda grimaced at that.
<span class="mu-r">“Does that mean I'm gonna have to get all bulky and muscular?”</span> she said with a fearful look in her eye.
Cindy chuckled at that.
<span class="mu-s">“As a grappler? Don't worry, you don't need a whole lot of muscle mass to render someone unconscious. You just need a bit of strength, technique and confidence.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“And if you can't manage that, then two out of three ain't bad.”</span> you helpfully put in.
Wanda stared down at her hands, opening and closing them repeatedly.
<span class="mu-r">“I’ll do whatever it takes. Even if I have to get all bulky. I want to save lives and fight crime! Like you guys.”</span>
Wanda gave you an entirely innocent and optimistic smile. But the look that you and Cindy exchanged was…complicated, to say the least.

<span class="mu-r">“Don't be silly. Heroes don't ask to be repaid for favors. They do good things for people because it's the right thing to do. Even if they don't deserve it.”</span>
It was such a simple, childlike view tied to an ultimately cheesy moral. But she had said it without a hint of shame.
Cindy let a brief laugh, and for a moment, you thought you saw something like admiration or pride cross her features.
<span class="mu-s">“Right. I guess I'm just being stubborn. I'll take whatever help you can offer, Huntsman.”</span>
You winked at her.
<span class="mu-r">“Count on it.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Yeah, us heroes have got to stick together.”</span> Wanda added. <span class="mu-r">“Whether it be providing equipment, or inviting budding vigilantes to team-up events.”</span>
She gave you a hopeful look.
<span class="mu-r">“Let’s see if you earn that suit first. Then we can talk.”</span>
Her shoulders slumped, and as soon as she turned to climb out of the ring, you flipped over her head to land beside Cindy.
<span class="mu-r">“So, what's next on the menu?”</span> you asked.
<span class="mu-s">“Thanks to you, we're ahead of schedule, so I'll have Wanda hit the obstacle course after a quick break. Then I'll shoot paintballs at her until she figures out how to move more effectively.”</span>
She sounded particularly excited about that last part, but you wondered whether Wanda knew exactly what she was signing up for.
<span class="mu-r">“Well, I'm glad <span class="mu-i">someone's</span> enjoying themselves.”</span>
She just shrugged.
<span class="mu-s">“I've gotta get my kicks somewhere. Can't exactly go gliding around the city kicking butt when my dominant butt-kicking foot is wrapped up in this boot.”</span> she said, stomping her foot experimentally.
<span class="mu-r">“Then it'll be a nice vacation for you <span class="mu-i">and</span> the bad guys.”</span> you offered.
<span class="mu-s">“Heh. Not for long.”</span> Cindy said, narrowing her eyes with a devious grin on her face.

So while Wanda’s hero assignment is to work on her moves, yours is to accept gifts from people who want you to succeed at what you want to do and not be awkward about it. The college-level course will be to simply ask for what you could use instead of what you can scrape by with.” >“Fair warning, I will tease you relentlessly when Wanda finishes sidekick school before you finish your assignment.

I think the write-in stew would be gently chiding/teasing Cindy over her inability to accept our help? It dovetails well into the “don’t have to pay me back” winning option.
But if asked to pick another, I’d support
>>5945299 for the over-the-top nature. Only way it could be better is if we skipped around her while doing a sing-song voice until Wanda busts out laughing.
Though remind me, does Wanda know who we are/Cindy is living with Huntsman? I forget if she’s seen us out of the costume or connected the dots. All the write-ins would need to adjust slightly if she doesn’t know, much like keeping Matt’s name out of it if she doesn’t know him as Daredevil.
