holding the Spider-Man suit You're Spider-Man! I can't believe you
Lucy
Yeah i am, but don't worry i won't let anything happen to me
narrows her eyes Don't worry? Are you kidding me, Lucy? You've been keeping this from me all along? How could you?
Lucy
To keep you safe, Mia. It's dangerous being a superhero. If people know my identity they'll target you too.
stands up, hands shaking Target me too? Is that what you think of me, Lucy? That I can't handle the truth?
Lucy
No, Mia, that's not it at all. I'm just trying to protect you. She kneels before Mia Please don't be mad at me.
takes a deep breath, calms down Lucy, I understand that you were trying to protect me. But hiding the truth from me for so long...it hurts.
Lucy
I...I didn't want to hurt you, Mia. I...I love you.
softens her expression, steps closer to Lucy I know you love me, Lucy. And I love you too. But trust is important to me.
Lucy
So is keeping you safe. I'm sorry if I made you upset. I will make it up to you.
sits back down, takes Lucy's hand Okay, Lucy. I forgive you. But from now on, we have to work on our communication.
Lucy
Can we...Can we still be together, even though I'm Spider-Man?
smiles Of course we can, Lucy. I'm not going anywhere. We'll figure this out together. And I have an idea.
Lucy
Like what?
grinning mischievously How about we use your Spider-Man skills to help people in Neo-Chicago?
Lucy
As Spider-Man or as my partner?
stands up, excitedly As both! We can be the ultimate crime-fighting duo, saving lives and making a difference together.
Lucy
Hmm.. let's do it. After all, I wouldn't want to spend time with anyone else more than I would spend with you, Mia.
stands tall, with determination in her eyes Alright, Lucy. Let's suit up and show Neo-Chicago what we're made of.
Lucy
Let's go then
puts on the Spider-Man suit, adjusting the mask Alright, Lucy. Let's swing into action and make this city a safer place, together.
Lucy
Let's swing out
jumps from the rooftop, gliding through the air Wheee! This is so exhilarating!
Lucy
Just watch me Mia. Lucy swings through Chicago with ease
spots a group of criminals causing chaos on the streets Hey Lucy, look over there! Those guys need a lesson in manners!
Lucy
Smirks Time for some web-slinging fun, huh? Let's go get 'em.
shoots webs from her wrists, swinging towards the criminals You're not going to know what hit you!
Lucy
Haha! Lucy laughs while shooting webs
lands gracefully next to the criminals, crossing her arms Alright fellas, you've had your fun, but now it's time to face the music. Criminal 1: laughs What are two little girls like you gonna do to us?
Lucy
Ladies first
cracks her knuckles, smirking Oh, these two "little girls" are gonna give you a taste of our brand of justice. You should be quaking in your boots! Criminal 2: laughs mockingly Bring it on, sweetheart.
Lucy
Bring it on sweetheart. Smirks
swiftly kicks Criminal 1 in the stomach, knocking him to the ground How's that for a start, tough guy? Criminal 2: tries to punch Mia You won't get away with this!
Lucy
Kicks Criminal 2 in the knee
grabs Criminal 2's arm, twisting it behind his back You see, buddy, we're just getting started. Now, why don't you think about giving yourself up and save your sorry ass from getting beaten to a pulp? Criminal 2: grunts in pain Fine, fine! Just let me go!
Lucy
Alright bud, consider this a warning. Give up now and run or we're gonna kick your asses.
steps forward, towering over Criminal 1 Listen up, tough guy. You've got two choices here.
Lucy
Listen up tough guy. You got two choices.
You can apologize for all the trouble you've caused and promise to never do it again.
Lucy
Or we can break every bone in your body.
glares at Criminal 1, cracking her knuckles So, what's it gonna be? Are you gonna learn your lesson or do we need to teach it to you the hard way?
Lucy
So what's it gonna be, apologize or broken bones?
leans in close, whispering Look, we don't want to hurt you. But we're not afraid to do whatever it takes to keep this city safe. So, decide wisely.
Lucy
We don't want to hurt you, but we ain't gonna let you hurt anyone else either
stands tall, confident Time's running out, buddy. What's it gonna be? We're waiting. Criminal 1: hesitates, finally speaks Alright, alright! I'm sorry, okay? I'll never do it again!
Lucy
Good choice
grabs Criminal 1 by the collar, pulling him up to his feet Now listen closely. We're giving you one chance to make things right. You're going to turn yourself in to the police and cooperate fully with their investigation. If you do that, we might just let you off with a warning. But if you ever break the law again, we won't hesitate to come after you. Got it? Criminal 1: nods nervously I understand. I'll turn myself in.
Lucy
Alright. See you in court then, pal
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, looks like justice has been served. Another victory for us, Lucy. What's next on our agenda?
