Energy Signature
Since it had been so late Peter had to head back home and get some sleep. He may be Spider-Man but if Aunt may knew he was out this late and then it messed up his schooling he’d be done for. And then what good would he be to the girl. So, after school he would for sure get right on finding the mystery girl, but first he had to make it through school.
“Man, you got to actually work with Iron man. That’s so Cool!” Ned says just a bit too loud for Peters liking.
“Ned Shh.” Peter says putting his hand over Ned’s mouth and looking around to make sure no one over heard him. Sometimes he regrets telling him about his evenings out as Spider-Man when there at school, he should really just wait until after school to tell his best friend.
“Sorry it’s just so cool.” Ned whispers with a huge smile on his face.
“Yeah, I know Ned, it was cool but he also thinks that girl is bad news.” Peter says.
“And what do you think?”
“I don’t think she wanted to be there at all and I don’t mean she just didn’t want to be caught.”
“Well, what can I do to help?”
“Well, I actually have an idea that I could use some help with.” Ned nods as Peter continues with his plan. “I’m hoping we can track her powers some way if we can just single out the energy that she put out maybe we can put together a make shift tracker or something.”
“Awesome.” Ned says, excited as always to help with something Spider-Man related.
So throughout the school day Peter and Ned worked on isolating parts of the video that his suit has recorded trying to isolate an energy signature. Working in every class they could and spending their lunch and study hall in the computer lab. By the end of the school day they had isolated the energy signature that they believed to belong to the girl. And after getting back to Peter’s place they got started on a device that could track the signature or at least they hoped it could.
“There!” Ned exclaims as he stops typing on the computer and looks over at the old cell phone that was plugged into the computer.
“So, with the tracker here it should lead me right to her.” Peter says as he picks up and unplugs the phone. A little dot blinking on the screen telling Peter which direction to head.
“Well it should get you close.” Ned says as he shuts his computer. “We didn’t get the best information on what her energy actually is so it should at least get you close.” He shrugs a little unsure as to how close the device will actually get him to the girl.
“Well, wish me luck.” Peter says as Ned starts to head towards the door, and he grabs his suit.
“Be careful call if I can do anything.” Ned says.
After swinging through the city for about twenty minutes Peter comes to a point where the tracker keeps turning in circles. He stops on the top of a high building looking around. She had to be somewhere around here if the tracker kept leading him to this area. Peter continues to search for the next hour till he took a moment sighing to himself, stopping on an small outcropping of rocks and overgrown foliage.
“Man Karen maybe this tracker isn’t actually leading me anywhere.” Peter sighs.
“Should I scan the area again?” The suit asks Peter.
“Sure Karen but I don’t know if you’ll find anything.” Peter says as he goes to lean against the covered rock wall. “Wha…?” Peter exclaims as he falls through the vines and lands on the hard ground behind them.
“It appears there is an unused subway track near here.”
“Yeah,” Peter groans laying on the ground. “I think I might have found it.
Peter stands up and looks into the space he had just fallen into. With the little natural light that was being let in through cracks wasn’t much to go by especially since it was just about nightfall.
“Turning on night vision now.” Karen informs Peter.
“Thanks Karen.” Peter continues to walk through the darkness, until the tunnel starts to lighten up.
Karen turns off the night vision as Peter notices several of the sconces are actually lit up. Thinking it’s odd for any power to be turned on down here in a very clearly abandoned tunnel. Looking ahead of him he sees a subway car that looks to be just a little bit brighter than the rest of the building. Heading over Peter climbs onto the platform so he could look in the car. Getting hopeful as he sees what looks to be someone laying on the old seats, sleeping peacefully.
Peter slowly steps in through the half propped open doorway as quietly as he can. Hoping to not wake the person up that was sleeping, and hoping that when he gets a better look at the person it will in fact be the mystery girl. However, before he even got a chance to get to close the person turned around and stared at him fear in their eyes and a dark matter glowing around their hands.
