After sunset, the Enigma looked out over Lawndale from her roof. The normal appearance of the suburbia belied the tensions and changes that were happening. She looked at some of the brighter stars that managed to peak through the cloud cover. ‘Lawndale is continuing to change,’ she thought. The downfall of Lynn Anders was only part of it. She then grabbed her yearbook, which she had brought up with her. “Lara Edgars on Friday night, after that fake interview,” she said to herself. “Next is Therese Edwards.”
She grabbed the energy drink and downed it. “Findu mann hem heiter: Therese Edwards!”
She found Therese at the Historia, having dinner.
At the same time, Ninja Talon and SpiderGirl met at their spot below the Jefferson Bridge and unmasked.
“You did it?” Brittany asked.
Quinn nodded. “Yes, I did it. It’s up to Mrs. Jericho now. It might be in tomorrow’s paper. Or Tuesday’s.”
“You sound like it went well.”
“More, that I’m relieved.”
“But there’s still who’s behind the robo-dactyl,” Brittany said.
“I hope Andrea found something.”
“I’ll be at her place around midnight.”
“Then we can meet back here towards sunrise,” Quinn said with a yawn.
“Or maybe before school?”
“It will be fine. It’s that these last two weeks have been more busy than usual.”
Before she got into bed, Fields opened her closet and looked at the fake SpiderGirl suit she had brought home. ‘I could use it,’ she thought. ‘Not as SpiderGirl, of course, but as a new vigilante, countering Oscorp, after I dye and make changes to it.’
She thought about it some more. ‘But that will take time, which I’ll use to train myself.’
It was after midnight when Ninja Talon arrived at Andrea’s. She didn’t get there any earlier, as she was sure that Ashley-Amber was suspecting something after the hospital admission the previous week. ‘But my leg is feeling better,’ she thought as she opened the Hecuba’s back door.
Andrea turned and saw Brittany enter her room and close the door before unmasking.
“Hey Andy.”
‘Still with the nickname,’ she thought. But Brittany was unlikely to stop using it. “Hi, Brit.”
“So, did you find something?” she asked as she sat on the bed.
“Yes,” Andrea answered as she brought up a collage of screenshots from the footage she had put together.
Brittany looked. “There is a controller there, but it’s otherwise blurry.”
“I agree, there weren’t cameras very close to her position, but it does prove that someone was controlling it.”
Brittany looked through the footage. “All I can say is that she’s as white as we are.”
“That’s not much to go on at all.”
“Still, maybe Spidey would make more of it.”
“I’ll burn you a copy,” Andrea said.
