WHO: elecdouble, hells4children, and secondhandwebs!
WHERE: Allison's MAC apartment
WHEN: Saturday night!
WARNINGS: SPARKS
SUMMARY: Allison stole Alex's book to prove a point. She accidentally gave everyone ever beards. Now it's time for Alex to get his book back, and Spider-Girl is intervening to make sure nobody gets shocked to death.
FORMAT: WORDS


She hadn't exactly... meant to give everyone beards. She'd been so frustrated that the book had been illegible that she'd tried to fry it. Frying the book, however, hadn't resulted in any good results. Instead, she'd found the papers not destroyed, and her chin had been fuzzy.

Okay, fuzzy wasn't exactly the word. She'd had a goatee. A gigantic, nasty goatee that covered her face. She'd put on her Aftershock costume earlier to try and see if that had made it less obvious.

It hadn't, but at least this way nobody could find Allison Dillon, the creepy chick from school with facial hair.

She'd put on a robe over her costume by now, and was slumped in her couch, arms crossed. Petulant. She could shock the book again, but that didn't mean the problem would go away. She propped her feet up on the coffee table, and and muttered a curse under her breath.

She really didn't want to go to school like this.

"Ever heard of 'excessive force' there, mister?"

Not that the threat of getting bug-zapped was out of the way, May crawled into the window to crouch down by Allison. Oh yeah, this would help with the healing processes. Maybe it was time to reconsider the classic team-up gig.

[hellisforchildren]

"You think that's excessive force? You're talking like I shot her or something. We don't all have spider-powers, what else did you expect me to do?"

He glanced down at Allison with at least a modicum of sympathy. "She'll come out of this fine, worst she'll get from it is a headache. We should bolt before she wakes."

[secondhandwebs]

"The fact you're mentioning shooting people..."

May shook her head and hesitated a moment before she reached down and picked Allison up. Headache she couldn't help, but she could at least put the girl on the couch.

[hellisforchildren]

"I'm mentioning it as an example of excessive force, not as something I'd do. Try to keep up."

While she busied herself with Allison, he reached into his pocket and palmed a piece of paper. He'd have to drop it somewhere Allison would see it while Spider-Girl wasn't looking.

[secondhandwebs]

"Ooooh, you watch it, mister. Just because I don't approve of her, doesn't mean we're on the level."

May set Allison down as gently as she could on the couch, pausing to rub that back of her neck for a moment. This was not going to end well for her when the other girl work up, she could tell.

[hellisforchildren]

"What does that even have to do with anything?" He rolled his eyes and pushed up his glasses to rub the bridge of his nose. "It's like we're having two completely different conversations here. I mean, would you rather I'd left you high-and-dry? A deep-fried arachnid doesn't do anyone any good, and if you're taking all the risk for my sake, the least I could do is have your back."

I could have sworn I replied to this. Sorry for the delay :/

[secondhandwebs]

"You knocked her out with a book."

May straightened up, turning to look at him with one hand on her hip.

"It's not that I don't appreciate the sentiment, but she's got enough problems without the head trauma. And this talk would be a lot better done walking, I think."

that's okay! :D

[hellisforchildren]

"Yeah, I knocked her out with a book. Unlike you, I don't have any spider-strength or fight training. I'm no brawler, all I have..." He held the Abstract aloft. "...Is a book. And this 'head trauma' you're talking about is, at worst, a minor bump. You're treating it like it's a concussion, which makes me think there's something bigger going on here you're trying to pin me for."

he put his hand on the couch, still waiting for the opportunity to stealthily drop the note it held. "I recall saying at the start that we should make tracks, but you wanted to talk about my horrendous crime. So how about we find somewhere else that you can tell me exactly why it's so big a deal that I let Electra here have it."
