Need a hand? Well just you wait
WHO: Jack Bauer and the Amazing Spider-Man
WHERE: Fort Tryon Park, Manhattan
WHEN: Backdated to Saturday night
WARNINGS: Violence and arachnid puns
SUMMARY: Man-eating spiders are on the loose in the City, and Jack's unarmed. He's not happy with this combination.
FORMAT: Quicklog
[There were times Jack absolutely loathed the conditions attached to his release from NOHoPE into D.O.I. custody. Getting back from an alternate universe and having to spend hours giving a painstaking account of his whereabouts and activities was one. Another was hearing screams from a park the next damn day, finding giant spiders spinning webs in the trees, and not having a sidearm on hand to engage them with. As a dangerous ex-fugitive, Jack was barred from access to lethal weaponry, which left him with nothing but his cell phone and his frustration.]
What do you mean the police are chasing wildebeest on Broadway? I am a federal agent and this is an emergency situation, I have reasons to believe there are civilians in jeopardy. I need immediate backup at- Hello?
[Jack scowled at the phone. Its connection had just cut out. Whatever was happening in the City was absolutely jamming the lines for emergency calls. Jack had seen some of it himself, vines slithering out of the pavement to wrap around buildings, monkeys swinging from lamp posts. Right now though, the park took priority. The park, and those damn spiders up above.]

This is for your own good, you know. Tough guy like Jack, he'd just give you indigestion. [He ducks under the gaping mandibles.] Now, now, don't get any ideas! I promise, you wouldn't like the taste of me either. Besides, isn't that cannibalism?
[He catches under the abdomen and heaves, tossing the monster right in the air. It flies back a good thirty feet and fetches up hard against the base of a sturdy oak, then lies there, stunned. He webs it fast before it can recover, and turns back to Jack and the civilian, dusting off his hands.]
Ma'am, are you all right? Jack? I don't want to scare you, but we should probably get going before more of these guys show up.
[As if his words were a cue, more chittering from the trees overhead.]
no subject
[Jack throws his rock at the nearest spider. Then he picks up the dazed and muttering rescuee in his arms, ignoring the sticky web strands still clinging to her. He talks to her as he starts running.]
Ma'am, my name is Jack Bauer, I'm a federal agent, I'm taking you to a hospital. You're going to be all right. Spider-Man, keep us covered until we get to the car!
