Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
Tip – Possible break in at Landon Engineering warehouse

Andrea clicked on it. She saw that there was a possibility of Oscorp involvement. ‘I’ll forward this to Brittany,’ she decided. ‘I hope she and SpiderGirl can do something.’


Brittany was doing her homework, going over a problem she and Daria had talked about at the tutoring session, when she heard an email notification on her laptop.

“Oh, Andrea sent something,” she murmured before reading it.

She then forwarded it to Quinn, adding I think we need to talk about this tonight.

Quinn soon responded. Can you be at the Bridge in half an hour, given what Jodie told you today?

Brittany twirled a pigtail as she thought about it. She could pull it off. I’ll be there.


SpiderGirl slipped out of the house via one of the rear attic windows a few minutes later. She decided that she could patrol for a short time before meeting Ninja Talon at the Bridge.

“Dark hair or not, she’s still the same Brittany.”

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
She averted a few muggings before arriving at the Bridge to find that Brittany wasn’t there yet. ‘She’ll be here soon,’ she thought as she unmasked.


She didn’t have to wait long. Brittany arrived and unmasked a few minutes later. “Hey, Quinn,” Brittany said in her usual playful tone.

“Hey, Brit,” Quinn responded with her usual exuberance.

Brittany took out a map of Lawndale. “Landon Engineering is larger than I thought, but I found the location of the warehouse.”

Quinn looked at the map, which also showed the locations of other Landon Engineering properties. “I suppose that’s one reason why Osborn wants to take it over.”

- - -

SpiderGirl had patrolled that part of Lawndale many times before. But she noticed something new. A building that Oscorp had bought and refurbished was now open. She swung closer, but carefully, sure that Norman Osborn would have had security cameras installed in case she wanted to infiltrate.

“Aye, Captain.”

She then glanced into the café. Kaela seemed to be her usual self.

Words: 13


Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora
Janalla Jonasdottir arrived first. She fidgeted with her sketchbook as she walked to the table. Her difference was often commented on by those who didn’t know her, but her art spoke for itself, even if it wasn’t shown out of her home province deep in the Auroric regions.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“I agree. But we need to be cautious, given the agents.”

“I wouldn’t put it past Osborn to have agents present around there, but they wouldn’t be there all the time.”

“That’s true, but they may be there tonight,” Brittany argued.

“Then we’ll approach along the ground. They won’t expect that.”

“The streets or the alleys?”

“The alleys,” Quinn decided. “Less open.”

- - -

She then swung into a tree nearby and took out her burner phone, before sending a message to Ninja Talon.

Oscorp facility on second block of Maple is now open.

There wasn’t a response, but that was to be expected, given it was still early on a Saturday morning. She continued patrolling, but remained within a few blocks.


Sam Griffin wasn’t sure why he had decided to walk through the semi industrial neighborhoods on Lawndale’s southern outskirts.

Excerpt from: An Underwater Meeting
The Doctor thought about that. He would have to get inside. “There has to be another way in.”

“There is the back,” the young woman said.

“Lead the way.”


Muriel led the Doctor up and over the café.

Excerpt from: Beneath the Waves
The TARDIS landed, but the it sounded a little odd.

“What’s wrong?” Clara Oswald asked.

The Doctor looked at the Scanner. “We’ve landed underwater, in some ocean, near a coral reef,” he said.

“Not the first time.”

Excerpt from: Investigation of the Sabotage
“All over the theater.”

Scarlett sighed. “You have to tell me specifically where,” she said as she tapped a floor plan of the theater in her sketchbook.

“Mostly in the wings,” James answered.

Excerpt from: Convergence on Lawndale
. “We’ll be there in five minutes,” Brittany said.

“I can do it in four,” Stacy said.

“We don’t need to,” Quinn responded.

“I’m driving,” Brittany said. “We’ll get there,” she added as she turned the engine on.


Peter considered webslinging back to Glen Oaks Lane, but decided against it. Spider-Man appearing in Lawndale would draw too much attention. ‘But I can still get there quickly. Maybe Claire is still here.’


Claire was surprised when Peter came up to her. “Peter?”

“I need a lift,” he said.

“Why? Lawndale has a good bus service.”

“I need to get to Glen Oaks Lane quickly.”

“Is that where you’re staying?” Claire asked.

“Yes.”

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
Ten minutes later, SpiderGirl and Ninja Talon approached the warehouse in question. They saw agents moving on the rooftops nearby.

“Oscorp is definitely doing something,” SpiderGirl whispered.

“We can approach slowly,” Ninja Talon said.

SpiderGirl nodded and the two heroes approached the warehouse carefully.


Osborn was present personally.

Excerpt from: Horrors of the Delta Quadrant
“What about?”

“You are aware of what’s going on?” Janeway asked.

Suder nodded. “Strange events are happening aboard the ship, and you think that a Betazoid can pick up on the energy beings?”

“Then I’ll do that now,” Scarlett said.

She ordered a coffee and sat down at a table where she could see the river, and the varying architecture of the Core of Urbs Aeterna. She started sketching the vista as she waited.

Excerpt from: Depth Doesn’t Take a Holiday
Jane Lane and her friend Daria Morgendorffer were having their usual afternoon hanging out in her room.

As usual, Sick Sad World was playing.

“The world's largest nativity scene... in August? Atlanta mall manager Gifford Jones.”

“Nativities mean Christmas, and Christmas means revenue. Don't have to be a wise man to figure that out.”

Jane turned the TV off.

“Could they make the holidays any more vulgar?” Daria commented.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
He had wanted to see if what his sources told him about what Andrew Landon was working on was true. He had broken into the premises when he realized something was wrong. Some of the agents tensed up as radio channels went silent. “Vigilantes!” he said to one of the agents. “Find out who they are.”

But the agent hadn’t moved when he heard a tell tale thwip! “SpiderGirl. You’re always getting into my business!”

“Always?” SpiderGirl asked. “Not always. Just when you’re breaking the law.”

“Just as well, I’m prepared, SpiderGirl,” Osborn said as he took out a pumpkin bomb.

A shuriken knocked it out of his hand before he could arm it.

He did want to get out of the house, after the recent events in Lawndale from Groundhog Day onwards. Learning that his mother and sister had powers was also shocking, but he had learned that around the same time.
