Yeah that's a pretty good one. Super freaky, but really good.

[Hawk didn't say much after that, not wanting to scare her off with his super geekery. Not that he was ashamed he just knew that it could be a lot at times. Plus, he had to keep crushing her at Mario Party. Okay, he didn't HAVE to but he wasn't going to let up. He was so focused it took him a moment to register what she'd said.]

Maybe?

[He shifted and pulled his phone out of his pocket and showed her the video that the bullies had lived streamed, showing Hawk kicking their ass until the phone was dropped.]

It's one of my favorites.

[ Gwen can only accept having her ass kicked in this game for so long. Thankfully, she's tired and kind of hurts all over so that limit hasn't been reached yet.

She pauses the game when he pulls out his phone, leaning some to see what he's talking about. Her shoulder brushes his for a second. As she watches, her face goes from relaxed and happy, to...

Well, someone's in some serious trouble. She watches the video again with laser focus and even reaches up to restart it, pausing it mid-fight to study the faces on the screen. There's an irritated sigh from her and she nods. ]

Yyyyyep. That's Derek and Zach and their friends. They're the school bullies. We're not friends.

[ Not even a little bit. Pointing out Zach, she adds: ]

I got detention a few months ago for stopping him from picking on one of the younger kids at school who always wears a Pikachu hoodie.

[ And to use the same Hamilton quote she used when she told her coworkers this, the smirk on her face not the least bit sheepish nor remorseful; ]

I may have punched him. It's a blur.

[ And she'd goddamn do it again in a heartbeat. Zach, who clearly outweighs Gwen and could easily tower over her, once got a tiny blonde girl in his face and a black eye from the ballet dancer sitting beside Hawk and said ballet dancer wouldn't even hesitate if the chance came up again. ]

But, hey...that's my statue they were going after. And you're clearly one of the coolest people in town because you kept me safe even if you didn't know me then. So thank you. I really appreciate it.

[There was all sorts of touching and closeness going on and Hawk was more than a little flushed and flustered about it. He'd only just met this girl but here they were pressed up against each other very closely. It was weird and it would be more nice if Hawk wasn't so unsure about it. But it was still nice.]

Oh, I didn't know that was you. I just... I just really have a problem with bullies.

[Which she could probably guess considering his lip. Even if he tried to pretend like it was no big deal any teenager would know that other kids would be assholes about things like that.]

From:

[ To be fair, hospital beds are usually made for just one person. She's not trying to press against him, but the bed only allows for so much space. She looks at Hawk when he says he has a problem with bullies, a small frown appearing on her face for a second. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. If these guys give you any more trouble, please let me know. It's the least I can do considering what you just showed me in that video.

From:

flippedscript

[Hawk gave a snort of laughter at that. Derek and his friends were not something he was worried about.]

Trust me, I can handle those guys. They don't know the first thing about fighting.

From:

hibana_incursa

Okay.

[ He seemed pretty confident in his own abilities, and Gwen could easily admit that watching that video showed he knew what he was doing. And Ghost Spider already knew from personal experience that Derek and Co aren't shit.

That didn't meat Ghost Spider wasn't gonna keep an eye on things. ]

So who's your favorite Doctor?

From:

hibana_incursa

Gwen already decided she was going to tell Hawk about being Ghost Spider. She didn’t want a relationship where he didn’t know that part of her. And while she was aware it might shake things up a bit, maybe even probably mess things up a bit, Gwen was pretty determined to tell him. Some day.

Some day soon.

What she wasn’t expecting, however, was the series of events that lead her to outing herself. She wasn’t expecting Hawk to go off on Derek like he did. She wasn’t expecting to go skulking around the sewers trying to find the keys and she certainly wasn’t expecting to be attacked by some big, spider crab monster in the sewers, leaning her bruised, bitten and with parts of her suit bitten through.

And after that had happened, she just wanted to get in and get a shower. But, to continue the trend of Gwen running into moments she wasn’t expecting, the one thing she was expecting least of all was Hawk being in her room as she crawled in through the window and stuck to the wall to close it quietly.

Oh, god. He probably woke up and found she wasn’t in bed next to her and probably came looking for her. Well, shit. She did this to herself, didn’t she?

With her Ghost Spider mask off and her hood down, Gwen watched Hawk for a moment, his keys held tightly in her fist before letting them show.

“I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t. I knew I could do something to get your keys back, so I did and...you probably have a million questions.”

This wasn’t the some day she wanted.

From:

flippedscript

[He was glad to stop talking about Derek and the other losers. Dr. Who was a much more fun subject.]

That's a hard question. I think it's Tennant though. And I know that if I was a "real fan" I'd pick a classic Doctor but... I don't know. He's the one I like the most.

From:

flippedscript

Hawk just... stared at Gwen. And it was for sure Gwen, he'd recognize that silhouette in any sort of tights she wore. Of course he wouldn't have expected her to be wearing a FREAKING SUPER HERO costume. Also, she was crawling on the ceiling which was crazy but also totally bad ass.

So for a bit he just stared up at her, trying to process everything while she was holding his keys. His keys that were in the sewer. She'd gone into the sewers to get his keys. How do you even respond to that?

"I love you but you smell really bad right now."

From:

hibana_incursa

That was so far from the reaction Gwen was bracing herself for. It shocked her into stunned silence and she watched Hawk for a moment, expecting what she heard him say to actually be entirely misheard. But after giving herself a moment to process it, she realized she did in fact hear him correctly.

He said he loves her. Also, that she smelled bad, but that really wasn’t what had her surprised. He wasn’t shocked that she was on the ceiling. He was taking it in stride flawlessly and that...that...

“I love you, too.” Yeah. That’s what she has to say to that.

Standing upside down on the ceiling as if it were the floor, Gwen looked at the keys again and held them out to him.

“I mean, myself and another hero fought a giant spider-crab that spat acid which really felt bad, just to get your keys back. That’s gotta like...tell you just how much, right?” A relieved laugh and then a hiss of pain as she presses her hand against a spot the aforementioned acid ate through.

She’s fine. Will be fine.

Everything hurts, but she will be okay.

From:

hibana_incursa

Okay. That’s a fair choice. And it really doesn’t matter which Doctor you like. Personally, I think basing how big a fan you are of something on your choices is kind of silly. If you say you’re a fan, cool.

[ She pauses the game for a moment and flexes her hands a bit, frowning. ] Do you mind if we give the video game a break? My hands are hurting. Side effect from...all that.

[ Meaning the ice statue stuff. ]

From:

hibana_incursa

[ Gwen and Hawk had the occasional day where they couldn't see each other much due to schedules. But that was fine. Gwen had been working on this card all day. And yeah, she's aware how cheesy it is. She doesn't care. She just likes seeing her boyfriend laugh. So after taping this to his bedroom door, Gwen heads to her own room to play video games and wait out him finding it. ]

From:

flippedscript

Hawk couldn't help but give her a dopey smile when she said that she loved him. He almost didn't realize he had said it, it just sort of came out. It probably wasn't any sort of surprise to her, they had been dancing around the magnitude of their feelings for a while, but it was still nice to hear. And yeah, her crawling around in a sewer did show just how much. The fact that she was hurt though made him feel a bit guilty.

"Wait, you're hurt, what's wrong," he said, moving closer to her. He completely ignored the keys and instead focused on where she was pressing her hand. "Let me go get the first aid kit... wait you probably need to clean it first... just toss your costume in my room and I'll go wash it with my stuff."

From:

hibana_incursa

It's probably not the most important thing Gwen could focus on, but even upside down and still on the ceiling, Gwen couldn't help but be so happy that he stepped closer. Her slightly bruised face smiles a bit and she steps forward. She lets him finish what he has to say and then kisses him for a moment or two.

It's not even awkward, considering he's on the floor and she's on the ceiling. It's actually kinda nice.

When she pulls away, she shakes her head a bit. "First aid kit's under my bed. I'm going to throw my suit in by itself, because I have no idea if the corrosive whatever that monster spat at me is going to eat through your clothes or not. If you could just...step out of my room for five minutes so I can get in the shower?"

For as much as she enjoys making out with Hawk? She's not quite at any point past that.

Twisting a bit, she drops to the floor and lands on her toes, crouched briefly before straightening and letting out another huff of pain.

"I'll tell you all about this while we watch a movie and cuddle very, very carefully. Okay?"

From:

hibana_incursa

Hi. I love you. I don't know if I said that this morning, but I do.

Can you help me with something? You know more about this than I do. The guy at Mystic ink says he can tattoo people with healing like mine, and it won't mess up the tattoo. He also claims he can do tattoos that act like tracking devices in case someone is hard to find? Which...given how this place seems to be? Might not be the worst idea.

Can you help me figure out a tattoo? The youngest a person can be to get a tattoo at Mystic is sixteen.

From:

flippedscript

I love you too.

How come when Rico tattooed me it was sketchy but this place doing 16 year olds is okay?

But you should get something about dancing

From:

hibana_incursa

Because back home you were underage? But here, apparently it's legal.

Dancing or drumming? I'm debating either.

From:

flippedscript

What about drum sticks with ballet slipper ribbons wound around them leading down to the slippers?

From:

hibana_incursa

That's a really cool idea. I love it.

From:

flippedscript

I think it suits you

From:

hibana_incursa

It's like you know me. What crazy nonsense is this? <3

I'll work on a few designs while on my break. Thank you, Hawk. You're the best.

Hey...do you want to come with me while I get this done?

From:

flippedscript

It’s like I pay lots and lots of attention to you!

Yeah! I can maybe talk to someone about covering up my chest tattoo

From:

hibana_incursa

It is! I love it.

Really. I like that you can read me so well already. It makes me really happy that you can.

Talk to The Mystic. That's what he goes by. He owns the place and is really, really good at answering questions and being helpful.
