"I'm fine. I know my way around the city. Sometimes the easiest way to calm down is to be alone."
"I'm fine. I know my way around the city. Sometimes the easiest way to calm down is to be alone."
Hannah gave a small hum of agreement, as flying often helped clear her head, but she made no move to leave her friend.
Maddi pulled her mask back on, threading her bun through the small hole in the back of her mask. She stood up, her sticky powers allowing her to stay where she was.
Hannah floated beside the wall-crawling heroine as she put her own mask in place. She ran a hand through her now long black hair to confirm the enchantment had activated. ”You heading home or going to patrol a bit? It's been pretty quiet lately.”
Maddi didn't answer for a few moments. "I don't want to arrive to empty apartment, and Jensen won't get home for a couple hours. But nothing big ever really happens: at least not while Blaze is in jail. So….I guess I'll swing around, clear my head."
(hey so im trying to get a villain for the actual story
i have a minor name for the actual person, but im struggling to figure out their powers/their villain name
if you could help me, that would be great!
and im asking cause you kind of know the maddi character)
(Sure, no problem. What do you have in mind for the villain so far?)
(their name is gabriel
thats about it)
(Ok… 🤔)
(I'm just going to use Spiderman villains as a reference, but what threat level would you like? Green Goblin, Venom, Carnage, …)
(probably somewhere between green goblin and venom in power level, but i dont want to just blatantly use a spiderman villain: i want something original, but i cant think)
(ok, I understand. Honestly, I'm not very creative most of the time… (part of the reason I don't have a profile pic) but I do have a potential Moniker so far. What do you think of Nighthawk?)
(idk, that makes me think of batman and gabriel's not gonna be that kind of character
i kinda think of him as someone who either has no powers or is really powerful)
(Okay, I can see what you mean. … I think it would be a good conflict for the story if he was a powerful villain. … What about a cybernetic villain type?)
(cybernetic like….a cyborg or something? cause i definitely want someone who is human, or at least partly human)
(I definitely agree with the human villain, we can do a cyborg. Maybe Gabriel could have robots as ”minions”? It's totally up to you. I'm just offering suggestions.)
(idk i guess i could ask my friend to help me since shes pretty good at those kinds of things
thanks anyway tho)
Maddi didn't answer for a few moments. "I don't want to arrive to empty apartment, and Jensen won't get home for a couple hours. But nothing big ever really happens: at least not while Blaze is in jail. So….I guess I'll swing around, clear my head."
Hannah nodded. ”Hopefully he stays there for more than a week.” she half-joked. ”I have a scanner set up if anything does happen, so I’ll let you know if I hear anything and you do the same for me?” she asked.
Maddi smiled slightly under her mask, something unseen to Hannah. Then she jumped off, curving her body as she fell. About a hundred metres off the ground, she shot out webbing. The webbing pulled her up and allowed her to swing, grazing her feet on the ground ever so slightly. Swinging was probably the best feeling in the world. The adrenaline rushing through her body, the wind filtering through her mask, everything about it was just amazing.
Mage rolled her eyes with a smile. ”Show-off.” She couldn't help but tease, doubtful that Spiderling actually heard. At least she seems to be feeling better now.
When Maddi was Spiderling, it seemed as if she was a different person. She could almost completely forget about her struggles. Almost. They were always in the back of her mind, nagging at her thoughts. And there was only so much she could do to ignore them.
Hannah was actually a little tired. Her ”flying” was really more of a self levitation spell, one she was able to maintain for hours if she wanted and able to use to carry multiple people. But it did cause a mental strain if she pushed too hard. She had dropped the illusion when Maddi went skydiving and decided to actually head home this time.
Maddi swung around and landed on the side of a building, sticking to it. She partially took her mask up and pulled her phone out of her pocket. It didn't drop, since she used her sticky-ness to keep it there. She had a missed call from Jensen, so she called him back.
Hannah had a habit of taking a long roundabout way home when she was in costume, and at some random point, she would make herself disappear to the public and head straight home. She didn't usually drop that illusion until she was in civilian clothes. But despite it not being her usual style, the ”robes” were actually pretty comfortable and with Maddi still swinging; she wanted to be ready just in case. So she only removed the cloak and her mask before slipping on one of her ex-boyfriend's overly large hoodie over the top.
”Time to go to work.”
As soon as Maddi called Jensen back, his voice was fraught with worry. "Where are you? I got home from work and you're not home!"
"I…just went for a short walk. I'll be home soon. I promise."
"Fine, just….you know what I'm gonna say."
"Yeah, I'll see you in a few minutes."
Maddi put her phone away and began to swing towards her apartment.
