laureline eyes the alleyway, hand hovering over her gun as
she creeps along the shadows. she’d been chasing a rogue
bagoulin for galaxies now. it shouldn’t have been any surprise
that it would have found its way to earth. she should have thought
about it to begin with. it could hide, blend in. the sheer amount
of beings in new york city alone was enough to jam her tracker
long enough for it to get away if she wasn’t careful.
and she was careful. she wasn’t about to let an alien mercenary
reek havoc here. leaving it here would change everything. the earth
wasn’t set to find out about other aliens for another several years…
and it was supposed to be peaceful. throwing this thing at them would
screw everything up.
she could hear something shifting, rustling, near a dumpster. fingers
tightened around her gun and she took several quiet steps towards the
sound, drawing her gun as slowly as possible. she didn’t want this to
turn into a firefight… but she wouldn’t hesitate if she needed to shoot.
“don’t you dare move. by order of the galactic empire, you’re under

turns into a giant lizard & then proceeds to try to turn the entirety of
new york also into lizards — not to mention electrified men, larger-
than-life suits of armor operated by criminal lunatics — you tend to
start expecting anything.
that being said, what he had seen was edging past the mutant
humanoid he had more experience seeing. he was both excited by
something new for once & concerned.
instead of being the seasoned spider-man he really should be by
now, he got caught up in his excitement & ended up taking a corner
too sharp, landing himself in a dumpster. yes, this was the glamorous
superhero lifestyle he’d always dreamed of. shortly after he manages
to pull himself out of the trash & yanking off the mask to breath fresh
air, his senses ping. someone is coming up the alley. he stays still
hoping the bystander will simply move on with nothing to immediately
see but they don’t & peter is too cornered to move. he braces for
the inevitable.
his hands shoot up as soon as he catches sight of the weapon the
woman holds, eyes wide in surprised. it’s not exactly a kind of ‘gun’
he’s seen before. “ whoa, whoa! how about we put the
