Location: New York City, New York
Date: September 22, 2015
Time of Day: Afternoon"Oh. c'mon! You can't toss a car at me! That's just cheating!:
"Do you ever shut up!"
"I think we both know the answer to that one," Spider-Man shouted back at the Rhino as he ducked under a car flying in his direction. Two shots of webbing and he was sliding underneath the hulking Supervillain. Rhino roared angrily before charging, full steam ahead, dragging the lightweight Spider along with him. Peter did his best to stand up and run behind him. There was no way he was strong enough to stop Rhino without a brick wall.
"Y'know, being an Honorary Avenger is great and all, but you really miss out on the perks, like having someone come bail you out when you need it." A year back, Spider-Man had impressed Tony Stark enough to become an Honorary Avenger, it meant he got an ID and was allowed to visit the tower now and then, but he was no more an Avenger than he was part of the Fantastic Four.
And so, that meant reigning in Rhino was on him. No Captain America or Thor to bail him out. Hell, he'd even take Giant Man.
"Hey! If we're gonna run like this all day, can we at least go past a Hot Dog cart? I'm starving!"
"What the-," Rhino noticed Peter using him as a husky pulling no cart, "I'm gonna squash you, Bug!" He halted, sending Peter crashing into his back. Like that, Peter was a street pancake, and Rhino was holding his foot high up in the air.
"Nighty night, Webhead!"

"I'm gonna squash you, Bug!" He halted, sending Peter crashing into his back. Like that, Peter was a street pancake, and Rhino was holding his foot high up in the air. "Nighty night, Webhead!"
"Hey! Watch it, Rhino!" a woman's voice strongly called out.
"You know what they say: If you step on a spider, it'll rain," she informed the over-glorified bully, while she glared down at him from above, as she hovered a handful or so feet in the air above the Rhino's fat head. "And, I'm not much in the mood for rain..."
The masked marvel had been missing for nearly three years, and now, suddenly, there she was. Ms. Marvel was back!
Of course, she wasn't aware that she'd gone anywhere - she also wasn't aware that it was no longer 2012. but 2015, instead. That'll really piss her off when she learns the news...
"It's also very bad luck to mess with the Avengers and our friends. I suggest you put your foot down gently, or else risk having it ripped off..." Ms. Marvel cautioned the gray menace, though she doubted he'd comply with her request. Things were never that easy...
Ms. Marvel flew down at the Rhino, aiming for his leg. She was going to grab and toss him - or, at least try to - somewhere a bit further away. Like, perhaps, the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
As she dove, Ms. Marvel caught Spidey's eye and gave him a little wink, while she set about to shutting down his attacker.

"It's also very bad luck to mess with the Avengers and our friends. I suggest you put your foot down gently, or else risk having it ripped off..."
"Yeah, listen to the lady!" Spider-Man shot back, "Don't you know anything about manners?"
"Shaddup! I'm donne with you bug!"
Rhino didn't know what to expect when Ms. Marvel snagged him and began lifting him up and off. Unfortunately, she yanked him up too fast, soon enough, Rhino was up with Carol, but so was Peter. Spider-Man's line of web was stuck to the wrist line shooter, and he was being taken for a drag.
"Hey! Hang on!"
It was too late now. If she let Rhino down, he'd only cause more damage. Peter sighed before climbing up Rhino's back next to Ms. Marvel, trying to yank off the webline.
Spider-Man waited a bit before saying, "Uh, thanks for the rescue. I was totally Spider-chow if it weren't for you." Ms. Marvel had totally disappeared off the face of the Earth, he wondered where she'd been for three years.

"Hey! Hang on!"
"What?!" Ms. Marvel cried out, looking down. Apparently, Spidey had decided to come along for a ride? She hadn't noticed until later that he had actually been stuck to the big gray goon.
Ms. Marvel slowed her flight and watched the Web Head climb the baddie like he was a ladder and started yanking at some webbing that looked to be stuck to the Rhino.
Oh.
Ms. Marvel sighed.
"Why don't you crawl up onto my back, instead? I bet I can snap that line, and then we can just drop this goon off with SHIELD and call it a day..." she proposed. Carol knew that Spider Man's webbing was hella strong, but... she was sure she could break it apart. She could lift nearly 50 tons, so... webbing should be a piece of cake, right?
"How's that sound, Spider Man?"

They were off in the air as Peter was trying to remove himself from the situation. Ms. Marvel offered a suggestion down to him.
"Why don't you crawl up onto my back, instead? I bet I can snap that line, and then we can just drop this goon off with SHIELD and call it a day..."
And it made sense, she was super strong after all. Missing for a year or not, he could see the benefit of letting her at least try.
Though, letting Miss Marvel carry him around? That was just a bit of a hit to his manhood. Peter weighed the options and decided it was worth it. So, up he crawled, using the Rhino's back to get closer to the Avenger.
Once he was close enough, it was a small leap onto her back, "Darn thing never gets stuck." He decided to tease, "I must've gotten excited and it jammed when you showed up." He was hilarious! In his own head.

"Darn thing never gets stuck." He decided to tease, "I must've gotten excited and it jammed when you showed up."
Ms. Marvel chuckled a little and wondered if Spider Man was even aware of what he'd just said, and how it might sound.
"Oh, really?" she asked in good humor, while also quirking an eyebrow. "Sounds like a personal problem," Ms. Marvel teased.
She yanked apart the webbing that was keeping Spidey stuck to the Rhino - though, it did take a bit more effort than she'd thought .
Ms. Mravel dropped the Rhino off at the Vault. Literally. As in, she sent him crashing down to the front entrance area, on the inside of all that barbed wire and security. She knew that SHIELD could handle him just fine from there.
"So, where you want me to drop you off?" Ms. Marvel asked the spider that perched atop her back.

"Oh, really?" she asked in good humor, while also quirking an eyebrow. "Sounds like a personal problem."
Spider-Man would have laughed, if he wasn't now realizing the implications of his words, "That's uh, not exactly what meant."
They were off to the Vault now, Miss Marvel offered him a lift back to where they'd been. He felt a bit odd, standing on her back like this, not that he was complaining, the help was greatly appreciated after all. Without Miss Marvel, he'd have been squashed bug today.
"You can take me anywhere," Peter murmured, "Er. I mean, um." He rubbed the back of his head now, trying to keep his mind off the fact that he was incredibly attracted to the blonde knockout in black. Quick Spider, think of something not stupid to say to make up for it.
"Yeah, um, a lift would be appreciated. Thank you!" Oh, that over the top hero-voice was no good, try again Pete, "Um, Midtown? If that's okay?"

"That's uh, not exactly what I meant."
Ms. Marvel cracked a grin and replied, "Heh. I thought not - no worries, Spider-Man." Clearly, Carol had invested much too much of her time with men, and as a result, her mind often fell into the gutter. Repeatedly, and without much prompting, and it was quite comfortable there.
"So, where you want me to drop you off?" Ms. Marvel asked the spider that perched atop her back.
"You can take me anywhere," Peter murmured, "Er. I mean, um... Yeah, um, a lift would be appreciated. Thank you!"
Yeah. She'd heard him - kinda hard not to, since she heard things much better than the average joe with her enhanced senses and whatnot.
::Huh... Who knew?:: Carol thought, a bit flattered at the Spider's slip of the lip. Surprises happened every day, but they weren't always of this caliber - in fact, when it came to the Avengers, they were usually bad surprises, so this was really quite nice, for a change!
It kinda made her start to wonder just what all he had goin' on underneath that mask. Spider-Man seemed a cocky (but funny) guy who was probably super-confident and successful in his civilian life - at least, that's what Carol was guessing, just based off of her past interactions with the guy (including today's little interlude).
He was probably pretty good looking, too. ::Mhmm...::
"Um, Midtown? If that's okay?"
"Sure. Midtown, it is," Ms. Marvel agreed. "You got a landmark or intersection in mind?"

Super-confident and successful. Hah. If Peter could only read minds, he would've told her all about him barely affording his apartment taking pictures of himself in action. Speaking of, he owed a couple for J. Jonah Jameson soon, maybe he could get some action shots of him and Miss Marvel. He definitely liked her more than he liked Spider-Man. Then again, with how erratic JJJ was, he could simply turn on Miss Marvel, that could be really bad, best not.
"Sure. Midtown, it is," Ms. Marvel agreed. "You got a landmark or intersection in mind?"
As she was getting ready to take off, Peter was reprimanding himself. Don't look at her butt, don't look at her butt, don't look at her, okay, a quick peek before she looks at you again.
Peter took a quick look as carefully as he could, which was not careful at all, He sort of got, stuck, unable to look away, hopefully his eyepieces would make it less apparent.

Wait... Before they could get going, Carol had to sort out how they were going to do this... She hesitated, thinking about how to, well... how to carry Spider-Man back to Midtown. Physical placement and whatnot. It's not like she was a car, and he could just call out 'shotgun' for the front seat, or whatever.
Ms. Marvel turned back to face Spider-Man, completely unaware that he'd been scoping out her shapely behind, and she asked, "Umm... So, how do you want to do this?"
"You could get up on my back again," she suggested, "and just hold on to my shoulders." His sticky fingers wouldn't be a bother - her uniform had been designed to handle worse abuse, and her skin was super durable and near impenetrable, just like the rest of her.
Usually, when Ms. Marvel gave someone 'a ride', it was a spur of the moment-type of thing, or an emergency, and no one worried about comfort, or potential awkwardness... However Spidey chose to 'ride' her, the journey was going to still equate to a rather long-lasting embrace, in excess of five minutes straight (or more), and since most hugs only lasted a few seconds... Well, you get the idea.
Bring on the Awkward!

Umm... So, how do you want to do this?"
"Huh?" Peter uttered, eyes traveling back up. Lucky him, it didn't seem she'd noticed, gotten away with it, "Umm." He trailed off, not quite sure what the question had been. He really needed to learn how to behave around superheroines.
He supposed, there had been a bit of time with Firestar, and then Kitty Pryde and Rogue from Xavier's for a little while. There was even Black Cat, if she counted as one of 'the good guys'. Otherwise, Spider-Man really only interacted with the males of the superhero community. He really needed to work on his social network.
"You could get up on my back again," she suggested, "and just hold on to my shoulders."
"Oh!" Spider-Man got it now, how he would prefer to return to the city, "Um, yeah, I'll just hold onto your back." He paused then asked, "If that's alright with you, I mean." She was the one helping him, so he wasn't going to complain about whatever she was willing to do. After all, this just meant more time with the shapely Avenger. Of course, it also meant he was going to be clinging to her back, and he was pretty sure she wouldn't appreciate him crouching on her behind like he would a building's side.
This could become quite awkward.

"Well, yeah. 'Course it is," Ms. Marvel replied. "And, that'll probably be more comfortable." Unless he'd rather she lift him up by the armpits, or else cradle him like a baby - the former probably would be quite uncomfortable, and the latter would probably be a bit humiliating.
"Just hold on," Marvel cautioned before taking off into the sky, veering towards Midtown.
"So... Any good places to get coffee in Midtown? I sorta tossed mine out earlier - no big deal, but I still want some before I get back to HQ," She asked, and then provided an explanation.
"You do drink coffee, don't you?" Marvel asked, glancing at the Web Head back over her shoulder.

"Well, yeah. 'Course it is," Ms. Marvel replied. "And, that'll probably be more comfortable."
Spider-Man nodded his head, thinking about the alternatives, they really weren't good enough to him, actually they were kind of humiliating. So, hanging onto her back back to the city was really the way to go about returning to Midtown.
She warned him to not let go, there was no problem with that, Peter was going to hold on so tight she might think he'd died.
"So... Any good places to get coffee in Midtown? I sorta tossed mine out earlier - no big deal, but I still want some before I get back to HQ."
"Oh!" Peter tried to think of the places in that area.
"You do drink coffee, don't you?"
Spider-Man perked up, trying to focus on the conversation and not the body he was clinging to, "Yeah I do, there's a place called Small World Coffee down there. I owe you a cup, don't I?" He asked, obviously offering to repay her favor.

Ms. Marvel smiled and replied, "Well, not necessarily, but who am I to argue?" She could always consider it 'gas money' for flying him all over the city this afternoon, if she really felt like justifying a friendly neighborhood cup of coffee.
A few minutes later, Marvel touched down in an alley near the coffee shop.
So, you know we both can't go in there... Not like this, not in costume - people tend to either freak out, or go all 'fanboy' on us," Marvel reasoned from the privacy of the alleyway. "But, both of us have secret identities, so... Yeah," the powerful blonde was running a few scenarios through her mind as to how they could pull this off, but...
This seemed to have gotten a bit more complex than simply going out and grabbing a cup of coffee with a 'co-worker'.

For Spider-Man, the entire flight from the SHIELD facility all the way back to Midtown was rather unbearably uncomfortable. Not because hanging onto Ms. Marvel was physically uncomfortable, oh no, she was just the opposite. No, it would be so easy to hang on pressed against her, and, and, well.
Bad thoughts! Stay away lest ye be knocked the hell out Webhead.
Somehow, thankfully, there was no incident upon return to the city. Spider-Man stood by in the alleyway as the Avenger explained to him that they really shouldn't try to go in for coffee in their current sets of attire, Peter had to agree, that could end in a thousand bad scenarios. He looked around the alleyway and said, "How about this, I'll go up on the roof, change, get the coffee, go back up, change, and meet you across the street on the other roof."
He paused, "As long as you promise not to peek, I'm a bashful Spider, y'know? No peeping till you buy me dinner."
