Excerpt from: Spider Gwen and the Small Town Spider Person
“And there are at least three others?”

“Many, but the most active are Ninja Talon, who SpiderGirl often teams up with, the Shadow, the fourth vigilante and Dafoanairi,” Nikki answered.

“So, the fourth doesn’t identity themselves?”

Excerpt from: Consequences
Charlie wasn’t sure. He had been keeping tabs on what was happening. He was sure that the parents had a case.


At the same time Mr. Salt was talking to his lawyer.

“…Given what you have told me about the lack of safety features in the factory, I think you have a very good case.”

“What about her anguish?”

Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora
Freya returned to Sigrun Sigurdottir Hall as the sun set. It had been a very good day. ‘It’s good that I’m able to get that support when I need it.’


Dana saw Freya enter the Dining Hall. She wondered how her day had gone and waved. Freya waved back as she headed to the servery.


“…And so Alexia and I then went to the sports center,” Freya concluded.

“Sounds productive.”

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“Dafoanairi?”

Dafoanairi groaned. She rubbed her arm. “I’ll be fine, other than a bruise, but he’s getting away,” she said as she grabbed the quarterstaff and allowed the Enigma to pull her to her feet.

“We have to just keep up and stop him hurting someone until nightfall.”

“It might not be as simple as that, but it’s a better plan than having none.”

“True,” the Enigma said as she turned and began following William again.


Trent opened the door to find Quinn at the door. “Hey, Quinn, Daria’s not here.”

“She isn’t?”

“No, she just dropped Janie off, apparently.”

“Oh, she’s looking for the fourth vigilante,” Quinn said.

“That’s what Janie said.”

“Can I talk to Jane, then?”

“She has gone out again,” Trent answered.

“Oh, I’ll be off then.”


After Trent closed the door, Quinn ran across the road to the woods and then changed to SpiderGirl. She then took out her portable radio.

“…Reports are coming in of the fourth vigilante and Dafoanairi chasing some bestial looking man to the south of Eichler Street, heading towards the hospital.”

“The hospital,” SpiderGirl murmured. “Why would he go there?” She had some idea. ‘Is it because Osborn is there?’ She then started swinging in that direction.


The Enigma and Dafoanairi ran up to the main entrance of the hospital. “There are too many entrances to cover,” Dafoanairi pointed out.

Excerpt from: I Cerritos
Mariner arrived at the spot. “Rutherford! Tendi!” she called into the Jefferies Tube.

There was no answer.

“Great! I have to go after them,” she groused as she entered the Jefferies Tube.

But she didn’t have to go far before she heard them.

“…And so, the sensors should be able to pick it up earlier,” Rutherford said.

“Thanks,” Tendi said. “I don’t want to cause problems.”

Mariner then spoke up as she came up to them. “Oh you’re already are.”

“Did Cerritos send you here?” Rutherford asked.

“What do you think?” Mariner asked.

“Of course she did,” Rutherford said. “Because I disabled the speakers in this area before I started work.”

“And I didn’t want to be disturbed either,” Tendi added.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“True, but I know where he is and can move to block. We could delay him long enough.”

“I hope that will work out.”

“Probably won’t,” the Enigma responded. “But I will try.”


SpiderGirl arrived at the hospital and saw William approaching and the Enigma and Dafoanairi waiting at the main entrance. ‘I know Harry is here with his father. I’ll warn him as the usual Quinn first,’ she decided. She swung to the roof where she changed and then headed down.


Harry was aware that the Hospital staff were anxious about something and he had heard about a dangerous person loose in Lawndale from radio. He then saw Quinn enter the room. “Quinn? What are you doing here?”

“Hi, Harry,” Quinn said. “Daria told you about the boy who’s been writing those poems, right?”

“She did,” Harry confirmed.

“Well, it turns out that his parents were keeping him locked up because of something Oscorp did to him.”

“What do you mean?”

“There was some sort of drug trial and somehow it caused him and others to transform when they were exposed to sunlight,” Quinn answered. She walked over next to his father. “He may be on his way here.”

“Oh,” Harry said. “I promise, I’ll look into who may be responsible.”

“But he believes that your father is responsible.”

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“You mean, he’s coming here now?”

“Yes,” Quinn answered. “And some of the vigilantes are in action in the hospital trying to stop him.”

“Which ones?”

“The fourth vigilante and Dafoanairi, and SpiderGirl not long after them.”

“Great, the fourth vigilante and SpiderGirl could fight,” Harry groused.

“Stay here, watch your father. I’ll be back.”

“Wait!”

“I won’t be in danger,” Quinn said as she dashed off.

“I’ll try to protect you, Father.”


Meanwhile, Peterson pulled up outside the Hospital, near the Emergency Room. ‘Yet another thing going down in Lawndale, and it seems SpiderGirl, Dafoanairi and the Enigma are already responding.’ She hoped that the Enigma had given thought to what she had talked to her the previous night and wasn’t intending to confront SpiderGirl in the hospital. She got out of the car and headed inside.


William came up to one of the hospital’s side doors and found the fourth vigilante waiting. “You couldn’t stop me before,” he said.

“No, but I can delay you.”

“Until nightfall, I doubt it.”

“Like, we’ll see,” the fourth vigilante said.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
He looked around and saw a window open on a higher floor. ‘There!’ he thought. He turned around.


‘What is he doing?’ the Enigma asked herself. She was tiring but still quite alert.

She the saw William running up. ‘Two can do that!’ she thought as she lowered her forcefield and pointed her hands down, ready to jump up.

William then jumped up towards the open window, but the Enigma also jumped as she pushed downwards telekinetically and fired projections.

William collided with the Enigma and she found herself pushed through the open window.


“I’m in!” William said as he clambered off of the Enigma and ran out of the room.

“Come back here!” the Enigma called out as she clambered up. ‘Dafoanairi and I need some walkie talkies!’ she thought.


At the same time, Quinn entered the Emergency Room, where Brittany was still waiting for her X-Ray.

“Quinn?” Brittany asked when she came up to her and Ashley-Amber.

“There’s something I need to talk to you about,” she said in a serious tone.

“Sure,” Brittany said.

“Right now?” Ashley-Amber said.

“It’s to do with school,” Quinn dissembled.

Brittany raised an eyebrow at that, and smirked a little.


“What is it?” Brittany asked once she and Quinn were out of earshot of Ashley-Amber and the other people in the waiting room.

“William is here, at the hospital,” Quinn said quietly.

“How did that happen?”

“She’s after Osborn because of what was done to him.”

“That’s not good!” Brittany said in concern.

“And the Enigma and Dafoanairi are also here.”

“And you’re concerned about that too?”

“Yes,” Quinn answered. “I thought I would let you know.”

“Thanks.”


Quinn was about leave the Emergency Room when Peterson appeared. “Quinn?” she asked. “I’m sure you know about William being here.”

Quinn nodded.

“I’m about to put the Hospital on lockdown, so if you’re going to do something, you need to be quick about it.”

‘She definitely still suspects,’ Quinn thought. “I’m just me,” she said.

Peterson sighed. “You can trust me, Quinn. I know you are more than who you appear to be. But, go, help the other two who are here.”
