Excerpt from: Quinn’s Code
“And you’re biased against Quinn!”

“I am not!”

“You are!” Helen said.


Excerpt from: Reflections A

“Blue base. Then green,” she said.

“It’s good that you started out like that.”

“Yes, given that the red represents Sandi and Tiffany.”

“You want to talk more about that?” Jane asked.


Excerpt from: Video Assignment Complications
Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane left the small cinema, one of many in Lawndale. “I’m hungry,” the latter said.


Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
She glared at the Shadow. “What do you expect me to say? If I were the fourth vigilante, I’d probably deny it. If I’m not, I’d deny it also. Going around and suspecting people to be the fourth vigilante isn’t the best approach.”

“Maybe not. But I met her a week ago. You are the same height.”

“Even so, you aren’t getting answers. Better go off and fight crime. Investigate Oscorp. I might begin to suspect your identity.”

“I figured I would take the risk,” the Shadow responded.

“You could be someone who was in the school cafeteria at lunch today. Sandi, Daria, Jane, or someone who was sitting nearby.”

“I’m saying that you’re not getting cold. But that’s still a lot of people, and you may not have seen them all.”

“That’s true,” Tania considered. “But out of the three, who has the most to hide? Sandi, Daria, or Jane?”

“I’m not answering that question.”

“Probably Daria, I don’t think Quinn was there at lunch.”

“Keep speculating if you want. But It’s best to get home.”


Tania remained silent as she walked back to Grandstaff Drive with the Shadow beside her.


‘Maybe I made a mistake,’ the Shadow considered as she headed home. ‘But what will I tell Trent?’

Reports of Break ins at Oscorp Facilities

Penelope looked at the headline. She wasn’t sure why Daniels went with that. ‘But then we had to say something,’ she said.

“Something I should know?” Tori asked as she came out.

“Not really, Tori,” Penelope answered. “But where are you going so early?”

“Breakfast with Stacy and Tiffany at the Historia,” Tori answered.

“Have a good day, then,” Penelope said as she headed inside. ‘I still haven’t been there yet. Melinda followed its development.’


In the basement, Quinn grabbed the CD out of the chute and loaded it onto her laptop. ‘Another thing to use the hidden area for. A separate computer for superheroism stuff,’ she mused.

She soon loaded the glider blueprints. ‘I can see why Brittany is concerned about jargon,’ she thought as she read the various long words. ‘I can barely understand some of these longer words.’ Even so, she looked at the various parts of the glider, looking for weak spots where her webs and Brittany’s weapons could cause damage.


Tori arrived at the Historia to find Stacy waiting. “Good morning,” she said.

“Morning, Tiffany is waiting inside.”

“Good.”


“So, what is it that your mom may be working on?” Stacy asked, once they had sat at a table in a corner of the café.”

“One of the vigilantes apparently took documents from Oscorp and gave it to the paper,” Tori whispered.

“Is that right?” Tiffany asked.

“Well, they had to break in. But what’s legal is one thing, and what’s right is another,” Tori “This building is far from the first in this street to be owned by Oscorp.”

“The building is,” Stacy said. “But the business that’s leasing it is technically owned by my mom in a 51% share.”

“How did she pull that off?” Tori asked.

“You think Quinn and Daria wouldn’t have brought their mom into it?” Stacy asked.

“Like, she’s a really good lawyer,” Tiffany added. (Unnecessarily, Tori considered. She already knew that, even before the situation with Jenna was resolved back in mid December.)

“And so she would have made sure the agreement was air tight,” Tori concluded.

“Osborn only has a minority and the rest is in a trust for the four of them,” Stacy added and explained further about how her mother worked with Robert, Joey, Daria, and Quinn in running the place.

“Interesting,” Tori commented when Stacy had finished.

“Here’s breakfast,” Angie said, bringing after bringing their meals over.

“Angie!” Tori said. “How are you doing with the morning shifts?”

“Quite well. It’s different to working at my mother’s shop. Maybe because it’s something new, but I needed a change of pace.”


SpiderGirl arrived at the Historia to see her friends leaving on their way to school. She had stopped there to look over the town before heading to school herself. She was still wondering what that tingle on Wednesday night was about. ‘Still looks the same and sounds the same,’ she mused. She looked towards the school and saw that there were many students there already. ‘Time to go.’


Brittany arrived at the school.
