Moment of Awesome - April Parker/Mayhem: After being dumped out of the chapel portal, April Parker gets off on the wrong foot with a miscommunication.

April took stock of what she could feel, shaking her head in the negative when she didn't find anything worse than some light scrapes and burns. She shook her body carefully to double-check, a bit of webbing flying free and landing with a splat at the man--no--Doug's feet and making her laugh, an involuntary explosion of sound at losing control of her webs like that. "Mostly fatigue. Why did your portal bring me here?" She gestured at it again, an emphatic full body movement that had her tendrils waving around her.

The head shake was clear as day, simple gestures were very easy to get. "The portal?" he asked as she gestured toward it. "Yeah, hell if any of us know why or how it does what it does," he admitted. "We've got science people still studying it." He toed the bit of webbing at his feet. "Huh. Spider-person?" he asked, miming the distinctive webshooter wrist movements that Miles and his other spider-friend used.

A tendril was already in motion as April felt the prickly sensation she associated with her danger sense, wrapping around Doug's wrist firmly as her eyes narrowed. She didn't want to fight, and she had thought these people weren't hostile, but if her spidey-sense thought they were a threat she wasn't planning on ignoring it.

“Whoa, no touchy,” Maya said, pulling out one of the shock batons she’d taken to wearing on her back these days. Since Natasha and Kyle had started training her with them, she’d gone almost nowhere without them.

She moved to Doug’s side and pushed the tendril with the lit end of the baton, sending a spark of electricity through it.

“Get off.”

April hissed in pain as the tendril retracted, shooting a web at the girl and her baton even as she leapt toward the wall. She clung just out of reach, claws scraping lines into the walls as she looked for an escape.

The doorway was fairly tall. Maybe if she stayed out of reach she could get out of the building and find somewhere safe.

Wanda's vision shifted into a myriad of shifting strings of various colors as the situation turned decidedly south. Her breath caught in her throat slightly as she watched the creature scuttle across the wall. It was filled with small breaking points, something she'd never seen, but they were constantly moving and shifting.

"Very unusual," she murmured, eyes unfocusing slightly as she nursed the strings she needed. "Distract and corral," she said shortly to the other two, trying to keep a hold of everything.
