she’s always been a solo act  .    at least when it truly came down to it  .  she did fine on her own , moved faster on her own  .  and so she went looking for leads on the big bad who disintegrated her friends on her own  .  but every rock she turned over just lead her to a dead end  .  FRUSTRATION had a good grip on her as she sat alone on a bench in the subway station debating her next move — all the while people watching as she did so  .  the more she looked , the more her mind wandered from her self-imposed task  .  a nagging feeling in her gut had her eyes looking more closely around her  .          ❛  there’s something WRONG here  …  ❜

         silk senses are going wild;  ALL OVER  the city,  do they tell here there’s a mixture of  ...  chaos and  ...  something else.  but of course,  they’re outta wack.  still,  the rest of cindy’s senses work  -  and among the noise and  SWEAT  of people,  she can hear the other voice.  brown eyes travel,  almost suspicious  as they take her in;  and cindy will casually push her hair back.     “  what makes you say that ?  ”

Ben had been working on his “stingers” for a few weeks now, and for at least the third time was forced to go back to the drawing board. He was sketching the design yet again in his blueprint journal when his pencil broke. Looking up at a passer-by, Ben offered the other a small grin. “Hey, you think you can do a guy a favor and lend me a pen?”

        a pause in her stride,  brown eyes will take him in.  weird;  there’s something  OFF  -  but cindy will just wave it off as her silk sense.  still,  her body is tight,  on guard even as she reaches for a pen out of her purse.     “  here,  ”    she’ll say,  holding it out to him.

Peter was glad that it was a familiar face, causing a brighter smile to spread over his features. “I understand, I was distracted too.” He says as he gestures to the clothes he was looking at, although probably out of his price range. “It’s good to see you.”

        as much as she tries to resist  -  it’s  easy  being around peter,  and it makes the small grin on her lips  genuine,  even.     “  ---  whatcha shopping for ?  ”    eyes flicker to the window,  it’s an easy topic to discuss;  before they travel back to him,  hair being pushed back.    “  yeah !  it’s uh  -  been a hot minute.  i’ve just been,  you know  ...  silking.  ”   and her family are always on the back of her mind,  but that’s not even possible right now.

          lips purse,  and head will duck down  -  and despite the  INTENSITY  of this conversation,  teeth move to bite on her bottom lip so  a  laugh  doesn’t come out.  and she can’t help it,  as cindy looks back up,  easy grin upon her lips.    “  tony  --  ”    then she lets out a  LIGHT  laugh    (  she’s trying to tease him,  not make him lock himself up in his room for the next week  ),    “  were you just considering giving me the  BIRDS & THE BEES  talk ?  ”    a giggle will pop out;  cindy doesn’t know why she’s so amused,  maybe she just needs to  laugh,  and that’s why she finds it laughing worthy.

        but she’ll most definitely  SOMBER  up,  the traces of her laughter slowly fading on her features.  he doesn’t want her getting hurt.  felicia and peter are  perhaps  the only other people who’ve told her that  -  they’re  also  the only other people who know about her well enough.    “  --  i know i may not seem  that good  at taking care of myself,  but i promise i’m not as bad as some people may say.  ”   her mother,  for example,  if she  ...  knew where she was right now.  cindy will nod,  eyes wide and honest;  it’s a good agreement  -  and even she can tell he’s  just worried  about her.    “  like  ...  daily texts ?  would that work for you ?  --- or video calls ?  ”    she’s blurting out ideas,  as if to distract from what’s  CLEARLY  right in front of her.  he cares.     “  but  ...  this goes  both  ways.  just any updates on what’s going on here,  if  you  need something  -  i  wanna  help.  ”

          when cindy mentions who her roommate actually was, felicia can’t help the way her brows raise in shock. “cindy, you’re rooming with the daughter of the guy who poofed half of new york city away? are you INSANE? what if you, like, i don’t know - eat her cereal or something, and she poofs you away? then it’ll get personal, and then i’ll have to cut a bitch.” she’s aware she may be overacting but in felicia’s mind, these are all very valid concerns. “i don’t like this. like, at all. does she know who the hell her father is? and like, i dunno - what he’s done?” 

        she’s not quite sure what she expected from the white haired woman;  but felicia  never  fails to surprise cindy.    “  he  poofed  it away with the power of  CRYSTALS  that he spent years getting.  reyna doesn’t even  know  where he is,  but what she does know is that she’s  here,  alone,  and  ...  ”   her reasoning is cut off by felicia’s fierce protectiveness,  and despite the  seriousness  of the topic,  cindy will crack a grin.    “  she does,  but  ...  something tells me that  ...  well,  you  AREN’T  your parents,  right ?  ”    words are broken up as she tries to explain it to felicia;  she just  feels  something when it comes to her roommate,  and it’s definitely not her trying to kill half the human population.

               HOLDS HER HANDS out too offensively to be defensive ; limp in her STEP , breathing ragged , bruising body and CUT above her left eyebrow — she’s not in the BEST STATE . reyna is all but ready to bring everything down in FLAMES , including herself , self dubbed PRINCESS OF SELF DESTRUCTION will burn this city to the ground given enough incentive . she has no ROD to carry energy or electricity , so the heat she’s RADIATING is just short of fire . “ get … get back ! “ is a shrill order of PANIC , eyes watering . “ get back … or i will … i WILL hurt you ! “ 

       and  THIS  is why she fought so hard against tony   (  though he technically had no authority over her but  ...  whatever  )  when he told her to move out.  cindy moon moves like clockwork;  fingertips create her costume as she climbs out the window of  their  apartment,  dark eyes surveying the scene.  she has to  ACT  fast before this  escalates.  a  text to tony  can wait.  webs flow from fingers,  cindy settling for simply  SURPRISING  the attacker,  before swinging down.    “  reyna !  ”    she’ll call,  eyes looking around before she tugs her mask down   (  she hopes she won’t regret this later  )  -  but she  needs  reyna to calm down before  something worse  happens.     “  --  it’s  ME,  cindy.  you’re safe,  he’s down.  ”    she still ties him up,  settling on webbing him to a pole before heading towards the brunette cautiously.    “  it’s just me,  bad joke roommate.  --  what’s happening,  are you okay ?  hurt ?  ”

“How long have you been standing there?” Peter asks when he looks behind him with a smile. He must have lost track of time while he was sitting in here. He doesn’t feel like there’s enough of that anymore, not since what happened to everyone else. He has tried to keep his positive attitude through it all. Someone has to, right?

          body jumps with surprise !  at first confusion crosses her  -  usually,  her silk senses set her off,  but  ...  ahhhh.  one look at him and it makes  SO MUCH  more sense.  her senses didn’t work on peter.     “  oh,  hey pete !  maybe like  ...  10 minutes.  i dunno,  i kinda got sidetracked.  ”

“ uh –– please –– help –– please ? ” those were the words kate managed to get out as she struggled to lift one of the last boxes remaining to complete the move from her apartment in manhattan to brooklyn. only took her a month but hey –– the lease was paid for anyways, and she didn’t think she was in a hurry until she realized she’d have to pay another month if she continued to stall. despite her superhero athletics, kate was still very much a regular non-super person who had largely overestimated how much she could carry. go figure.

       cindy will slide in and offer support on the other side.  maybe,  if she helps this girl,  her silk senses will  GIVE HER A BREAK.  her head will pop out from the other side,  the brunette offers the other a slight grin.    “  i got your back.  where are we heading ?  ”    thank god her powers  DIDN’T  come with her suit;  it made physical activity outside of it easy.  the perks of being spider-ioactive,  she supposes.

calvin cleared his throat, this delivery hitting him with a stronger-than-usual wave of deja vu, “ alrighty, i’ll just set your pizza down right here. i need a signature. ” he took in the surroundings, unable to shake the feeling, “ i’ve always thought working at a newspaper or something would be pretty cool, better than delivering pizzas. i mean, this place is pretty cool, do you know if they’re hiring? ”

      it seems that she’s just in a tad bit of a trance  -  and  of course  it’s his voice that breaks her out of it.  because why,  for one day in her life,  things  NOT  be complicated ?   “  right,  shit.  my bad;  i was kinda in the zone !  ”  cindy’s rendered herself speechless,  before she shakes her head.  what does she even say ?  she doesn’t want to sound like a  CRAZY  person.  maybe she’ll just  ...  ask tony later.  but if that’s the case  ...  maybe she should get pizza guy’s number or something.  cindy’ll gaze up from underneath dark eyelashes,  as she gets up,  to sign of course.     “  definitely better than pizzas.  ”   and she wonders if he can still feel the connection that was  WRITTEN  into their genes at this point.  then she sees the opening.     “  actually,  i don’t think they are.  BUT,  you delivered pizza to the right girl.  ”   a quick grin on her lips,  she’ll glance at him.    “   the boss dude loves me,  and i’m sure if i put in a word for you you’ll get something.  maybe not interning but  ...  i imagine coffee fetching is better than pizza delivering.  ”
