" it's called a ghostly wail. and while it's not technically a power. it does scare a lot of people. "
spider-man thinks by her stating her new power—but not power—scare people scared him. dare he ask? dare he phu#k around and find out? is he that brave and stupid to play with god's care over his life like that? maybe, no—yes. her "ghostly wail" had him mad curious and anxious, because honestly, she was not the only one of them that had a new power to show off. it has been a few years since the two of them spent time together. a couple of years since he was an awkward spider struggling to twirl on his own to mimic her incredibly fluid motions like she was a naturally born spider, somehow made human. he has grown since then.
❝ aight, we out then. show me over... ❞ spider-man's voice gasconaded with resolve, giving no room to protest as he rose up on the roof of the b-train and surveyed their surroundings—a frightening, incomrephensible blur to mundane mortals. the two spiders had been luxuriously relaxed on the speeding locomotive for however long, but it was time for a show. ❝... there! ❞ spider-man didn't bother pointing at the designation; this would be a short game of follow-the-leader.
the train's overpass, wedged between the narrow, simmering streets of predominate european immigrants of the brighton beach neighborhood, became his launching point. it was an effortless endeavor, he propelled himself upwards, transcending the best of human olympians in a series that tested his anatomy. he speedily twists his body in ways that could have him considered for the guinness world record, if he actually wanted to try. landing with perfect spidey-esque grace, he embraced the rooftop with all fours, sneakers creasing against the asphalt, ten webbed fingers perfectly absorbing the impact.
rising up from the ground, both hands wavered in gwen's direction, beckoning her to join him atop the weathered rooftop—an ancient psychic palm reading shop, that mayhaps been indefinitely closed and doomed to have its section of the block repurposed for a better business.
