Shortly after Spider-woman and I got the orders, I began running towards the edge of the landing platform. A shout stopped me in my tracks.
"Wait!" Spider-woman called frantically.
"What?" I shot back, a tad bit annoyed. Swinging around this city... planet... thing... was something I was starting to look forward to.
"Umm..." she started, rubbing her arms and looking down at her feet, "I can't exactly.. um... swing like you can."
OOPS.
"Should I just stay beh--"
"You can stick to walls, right? 'Cause if you can't why are you called SPIDER-Woman?" I asked, fighting the urge to laugh.
"Of course!"
I could feel her anger seeping out from behind her mask. Maybe I should learn to keep my mouth shut...
"Nevermind, I'll just stay behind." she turned in a huff and started stomping back towards the group.
"Wait," what was I saying?! "Come here, I need help navigating this city... or planet or whatever. I've swung around carrying someone before. It should be even better this time because you can stick to things, and I won't have to hold you?"
"Right," she nodded, smiling while walking back towards where I had stopped before.
"Now don't get any ideas... I'm a taken man..."
"Right," she said again. Somehow I knew there was a wink involved somewhere.
I swear, I get no respect from these guys...

I know that feeling.
Swinging isn't everything... I guess.
meh.. somehow I'm getting the vibe your S.O( significant other) is going to be a tad miffed when you get back.. Good luck..
"I get no respect from these guys..."
I get that from the Ackley and that AI of mine. A growl usually shuts them up, though.
Skywalker, you do that to yourself most of the time. I mean, allowing yourself to be photographed playing with an action figure of yourself. No wonder no one respects you.
The entire planet is a city? That almost reminds me of Cybertron.
Have you ever thought about an Orange spidey-suit?
That's the guy I warned you, about, Spidey...
*loads up apple gun and pelts orange palps with it*
Oh no, fruit wars! Hide, quick!
As long as there's no pumpkins, the fruit war is something I don't mind :p
And PHo, hopefully the advances will stop there... I'm not that great at getting a point across when I'm flustered sometimes...
I dunno... Orange Palps might be on to something... But, sadly orange fabric always makes me look hippy.
I'm a city guy, living in Chicago and all, but there's such a thing as too much city, I think.
I agree, Jon...There's nothing like the wild jungles of Kashyyyk for you to get some peace and quiet from the city womp rat race...
So . . what is the story with you and Spider-Woman? Brother and sister? Cousins?
There's been a couple Spider-women through the years, but this one isn't related to me at all. We only really met before this New Avengers thing for a bit when I convinced her to use her powers for helping, instead of revenge. ;)
(the first post was just an exact duplicate of this one, I screwed up :p )
