The Park, Late Monday Night.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

In the dead of the night a shadowy figure snuck into the park, and made a bee-line for the benches near the duckpond.

After struggling with the benches for several minutes, the shadowy figure ran off and returned with a battle-axe.

A short while later two of the benches had been reduced to kindling and the others were carefully hacked off their mountings.

About half an hour after that, the benches and kindling-that-used-to-be-benches were neatly stacked in a neat bonfire arrangement next to the pond, but away from the trees.

The shadowy figure crouched near the heap of wood and flicked on a lighter. They then ran off again, this time returning with a gerry-can of oil. The next time the shadowy figure put their lighter to the kindling it caught light quickly.

The shadowy figure just as quickly retreated to the trees to watch. They might have been cackling a little.

As Callisto took Becky down, Peter looked at Bridge and said, "Well, I guess my fight is over. I wasn't even done bantering."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Huh," Bridge says, grabbing his gloves from his jacket pocket and putting them back on. "Ditto. I think..." he frowns at Peter for a second, "you sound like you've done this sort of thing before."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Um. Yeah. Big-time superhero back home. I'm trying in vain to keep that quiet here," Peter said.

Peter looked at Becky and Callisto. "Should we break that up?" Peter kind of didn't want to. It was kind of hot, to be honest.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Bridge looked interested. "That's cool. I'm not a superhero yet, but I will be," he offers. "Cal's like, wicked good at this kinda stuff. I think she'll be okay."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"And Crazy Hooker there seems pretty tough. They should be okay without us butting in," Peter said, still watching the struggle. "But, yeah, there was a science accident a bunch of months back, I got powers, put on a costume. Fun stuff."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yep. But maybe we should stick around, you know, just in case. For backup." Bridge suggests, watching the fight as well. "I have to finish my training before I get a costume and stuff, but I have, well..." he wiggles his fingers, "abilities? I guess you could say."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Backup. Definitely. You never know if they might need us," Peter pondered. "I saw that flip you did. That was a nice move."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It's totally possible that our assistance might be required at some point. And thanks, dude. You're all like," he waves a hand vaguely, "bouncy! That's pretty neat."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Oh, that's right. They're probably going to try to kill each other." Peter paused. "Yeah, we should break it up," he said with a touch of sadness in his voice.

"Yeah, totally bouncy. I can also crawl on walls. It's a spider-thing."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I guess so..." Bridge says, and totally does not sound wistful at all.

"All I can do is sense energy patterns. Wall-crawling sounds way cooler than that!"

Callisto would have thanked Bridge for the vote of confidence, but she was too busy trying to pull Becky's hair out by the roots.

And Becky would have attempted to kick or shoot either boy, but she was too occupied in her attempt to bite Callisto's neck like she had seen Gail do once.

[ooc: Cal's neck modded with permission, yo]

"OW!" Callisto yelped at she felt teeth breaking skin. "Okay, I don't even let Angel do that." She drew back her fist and punched at the side of Becky's head.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Bitch!" Becky screeched. She aimed a stilletto-heeled kick at Callisto's midesection.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Look who's talking!" Callisto turned as kick connected lessening the impact. She aimed a round house kick at Becky's ribcage.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky coughed hard as the breath was knocked out of her. She grabbed at Callisto's hair and attempted to bash her head into the ground.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Owowowowowow." Bracing herself off the ground with one hand, Callisto tried to claw Becky's face with the other.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Okay, that's enough," Peter said, running over. He grabbed Callisto and tried to pull her away from Becky.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Lemme go...kill her..." Callisto tried to get away from Peter, but with that whole spider-strength thing she wasn't very successful.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Seeing Peter go for Callisto, Bridge pulls Becky up off the ground, twisting her arms around so that he's holding them behind her back.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky kicked frantically. "No! Wanna kill 'er!"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter carried Callisto away from the battle scene. "Okay. Settle down. This fight's over. Relax."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Bitch bit me," Callisto managed to tug an arm free and rub her neck where Becky had bitten her, her fingers came away bloody. "Great."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge frowns sternly at Becky. Except she can't see it, because he's got her pinned in front of him, "Nuh-uh."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Yeah huh!"
