She had arrived late. But late enough to get an idea of what was going on -- chaos. Chaos in the hallway, chaos here now. They weren't getting their powers back without a fight, apparently. Jessica slunk along the ceiling, keeping close to the walls as her gaze scoured the area. Peter, she needed to find him. She needed to know whether he got his powers back too -- whether he had an inkling of an idea of what was going on. There was moment's pause as she hung there again, fingers pressed gently against the surface of the ceiling as she watched people fight off monsters, the pink glow still bathing them.
And then she spotted it.
And him.
There was a giant spider and of course it was going after him, and this certainly didn't surprise anyone, especially not her. But the spider was huge. Hugespider. He of the Massive Spiders and she hoped to god, this wasn't going to be a Harry Potter thing where they just discovered the nest.
Either way, the spider had moved, approaching Peter, and suddenly, there was a blast of webbing in its eyes (all eight of them), the bushy-haired girl flipping down from the ceiling, landing on its back. "You know, I think this is taking the spider motif a little too far!" She didn't think, the quip was a natural response. Each movement was instinctive, drilled into her mind by training. The spider recoiled back, clicking its pincers desperately as it tried to rock her off. She latched her fingers on to where its neck should be with all of her sticking powers, turning her gaze towards Peter.
"Any time would be great now."
Oh man, she was going to regret this later. So much for that alcohol run.
