Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Enter Spidey from home sweet home))

Spider-man noted the same characters dotting the street. God, everything happens at once, doesn't it? But wait, who's that guy? Spider-man had just noticed someone wearing a blue cloak, someone who walked into the Sanctum without even knocking... "Uh-boy that's not a good sign."


((exit Spider-man to Sanctum Sanctorum))

”Do you have any chocolate milk?“ Rosie asked with a hopeful smile.

”Yes. I‘m sure there‘s…“ Fisk began, but the girl had already leapt from the couch and had found her way into the kitchen. He heard some drawers opening and closing, the tinging of glass, then a little voice call out thank you from the other room. Fisk grinned and turned back to the other woman. ”She seems to be a sweet girl.“

”Seems so, huh.“ Shadow replied. ”Says she‘s lost, but she really hasn‘t complained.“ She paused a moment and glanced away. Rosie seemed to have gotten over what had happened not long after they met. She still couldn’t believe that she’d been so reckless like that. That would not happen again.

”You‘re taking care of the girl until you can find her home?“

”I kind of owe it to her.“ Shadow replied a bit uncomfortably. She turned back to look at him, then noticed the way he was looking at her. ”What?“

”I‘ve just realized…“ Fisk began. ”You have a very close resemblance to another hero I…“

”We‘re related.“ Shadow answered before he could finish. ”If you’re talking about who I think you are, we‘re related.“

”Really?“ Fisk said a bit thoughtfully. ”I was under the understanding that Sapphire is from a different world. Though with the way things are at the moment, that‘s not that much of a surprise. Though she has been here for a few months prior to this entire universe combining.“

Shadow blinked a moment. Universe combining? Great. She couldn‘t have just been summoned to a sane planet, could she…everything was crazy here, wasn’t it? ”Yes. We‘re from another world entirely. I‘m not sure about her, but I don‘t know anything or anyone here, and only have the costume on my back. Hence the bag of goodies over there.“ she said, motioning to the small bag laying beside her. ”Sorry, but I‘ve been running around all day. I‘m really not in the mood to chit-chat. I believe you were going to try and convince me work for you? I know that‘s what you‘re really wanting.“

Fisk started to answer when Rosie came strolling back into the room with a large glass of chocolate milk tipped in front of her face. She put the glass down, swallowed, then turned to smile up at him. ”Thank you, Mister…um…what is your name anyway?“

”Wilson Fisk.“ he replied, giving her a smile back.

”I‘m Rosie. She‘s Roxy.“ she said, pointing to Shadow before making her way back to the couch.

”Roxanne.“ Shadow said pointedly. She didn’t mind the kid calling her by her nickname, but she wasn’t about to have someone she didn’t know calling her that. ”Shadow Spider.“

”Could you fix up the warehouse?“ Rosie asked Fisk, taking another sip of her milk. ”It looks a lot worse than your place at the moment.“

”Of course.“ he replied, then looked back to Shadow. ”I can provide both of you with anything you need. A decent place to stay, money, a fresh start, a much more appropriate use of your powers…“

”All tied up with a silver bow and a white picked fence. Shadow said with a sigh. “This isn’t the first time I’ve gotten offers from guys with endless wallets. I‘m more interested in what I‘ll be getting myself into. What is it you want from me?“

”With everything that has happened with the worlds colliding, things have gotten out of control.“

”Of course…“

”The other men that I had employed have seemed to go their own ways. I need someone a bit more reliable to help regain control of my city, and find out more about what is really going on.“

”You need me to help get you back on your feet as well?“ she said with a slight grin. ”And you‘re going to send out a spy who has even less knowledge of the who‘s and what‘s than you do?“

”It‘s not that hard…“ Rosie said quietly as she took another sip of her milk, a devious little grin on her face.

Shadow turned and glanced down at the girl a moment.

Rosie finished her drink and turned back to her with a small smile. ”Just have to remember names and stuff right? Anything that sounds important? And with your cool darkness powers, you should be able to sneak around just about anywhere.“

Shadow stared down at her a moment, then glanced back up at Fisk.

”I will not ask you to do anything that you feel you cannot handle. But I believe we could both benefit from each other.“ Fisk continued. ”It may be a while before my tower is safe to return to again. But we can discuss more there if you‘d like more time to think about the offer. I‘ll even set you up with a place here if you have no place else to stay.“

”That won‘t be necessary…“ Shadow replied, lost in thought a bit. He was right…she wasn’t seeing much of a downside to this. And she needed just about everything at the moment. Why steal and try and sneak her way into a decent place if something like this had just fallen onto her lap. Spying was next to nothing for her anyway.
”If I can find someone…I can have your tower up and running in no time.“ she said as she stood back up. ”I‘ll be right back.“ she said to Rosie as her shadow grew around her feet. In a matter of seconds she was gone.

EXIT Shadow Spider to Murderworld

Pixie's eyes grew wide with realization. "You can't do that in a bathroom!" She hissed in a low voice. "You'll get an infection or something..." She added in a mumble, she wasn't even sure if Natalia heard her. "And a hot wing is a spicy chicken leg." She added with a small smirk, inside her head, a battle was waging... If she ends up getting hurt around you that could mean trouble with your new 'hero' kick. But she could loose a leg. You don't know any doctors either... So she could bleed to death in a bathroom stall. Pixie had to bit back her laughter. What a seriously suckish way to die... But she is a professional, maybe she was trained for this sort of thing. Doubt it. I bet she was. It's not like you can destroy it from within... That's it. "I might be able to do something..." She suddenly blurted out with a small smile.

Natalia looked to the girl with a smile. "If you want to come you may, but really don't worry about you...I have done a lot more in much worse." She smiled and started to get up. 'Just try to train on my thoughts...I will let you know if I need help.' She said as she got up slowly from the table. "I will only be a few minutes." She said gently as she looked around then made her way towards the bathroom. She pulled out her lighter, her knife, antibacteria wipe, and a tissue. She pushed into a stall and wiped the tissue dispenceer with the wipe then layed it down before putting the knife down and lighting the lighter. She let the knife blade run through the flame a few times till it glowed a little. She wiped her leg after putting the lighter on the tissue dispencer beside the wipe. She closed her eyes a momment then opened them a focused on the scar before using the hot knife to break her skin again. She saw the shimmer of something just under the skin. She used her knife to pry it out. She pulled it out laying it in a tissue. She wraps the chip in the tissue and then burned the scar closed. It would clean it out and stop the bleeding. She put her tools away and cleaned the chip. She decided she would put it in a cab or on a 18 wheeler. That way they would be chasing after a ghost. She smiled and looked at her handy work before flushing the tolit and then going to wash her hand. She washed her hands as if she was a normal patrien of the bathroom. She walked back out of the bathroom. She made her way to Pixie with a smile. She sat down. "See all good...done little things like that lots of times." she added quietly as she sat down. "So tell me more about these hot wings." She said as she leaned on the table a little.

Natalia gave her a small smile. "You don't want to know...and no...probably won't ever give up...but just got to make it not worth the effort for a while." She said with a smile. She looked at the menu now on the table. "So...explain this american food." She said looking threw the menu trying to pick out things she knew and things she didn't.

Natalia smiled at the girl. "You americans eat weird things." She said trying to figure out what she wanted. There was so many choices and she hadn't had any of them. She let her eyes roll up and down the page over and over. She didn't even know where to start. "What would you suggest I should try?" She siad gently as she looked at the girl then back to the menu.

ENTER from Daily Bugle

Alcina reappeared on the roof of a nearby building and glanced out at the city. Hm, there was a bit of damage…mainly earthquake related. It was nothing to fix. Though thinking about it, she should probably just make X come down here and clean up his own little mess. That was a waste of breath though. Fine, perhaps she’d make her own little adjustments as she cleaned up his stuff.
She smiled a bit and pointed a finger at a large canyon running through the street. It slowly began to melt it’s way back together, and soon sealed itself with a bright light. The light then spread across the ground and flooded the rest of the street, leaving behind clean ivory stone. A few moment later everything save the buildings seemed to have been white washed. She smiled a bit and glanced around the rest of the city. There wouldn’t be any more earth related damage done here. She should probably strengthen the buildings as well, but that might be a bit…distracting to the humans.
Another little grin curled around her lips. Then again…why not? Perhaps she could redo the entire city. Make it more to her likening. Eh, but she’d seem desperate for attention then, wouldn’t she? Oh well, perhaps she could save that for later.
She paused a moment and took a quick glance at some buildings in the distance Well now...what was going on over there? She hadn't cast her spell over that area...perhaps she should. Then again at the moment there didn't seem to be much physical combat going on at all. Better to just leave it perhaps.



Mary Jane continued walking down the street when someone suddenly seemed to fall out of the sky and landed in front of her. She jumped back slightly and stared at the man as she stood up straight again, now seeing that he was carrying somone else in his arms.

"I wouldn't go that way if I were you." Kenji said, looking down at the girl. "Unless of course, you wanna get caught in the crossfire of three nasty looking bad guys." he said, then shot down the street with Riku in hand.

Mary Jane turned and watched him dissapear, and just stood there for a moment. The street under her suddenly turned white and she stared at it for a moment as well. Yeah...definately going home now.



ENTER from Gotham

Shadow Spider re-entered the apartment via shadow, and appeared in the corner of the room. "Alright." she said as she walked farther into the room. "Your place should be up and running again. And if you'r lucky it might even be better than before."



Reaper took to a nearby alley once the two large beings had fallen from the building to watch. It wasn't who he was looking for, but it should certainly be interesting to watch nonetheless. And that other man...was that Scarecrow? Blood scent seemed to match...but it was different now.
