Title: Out of Control (?)

Notes: A series of drabbles inspired by things I notice in rewatching the Ultimate series as I patiently await the new episodes in season 3 that have yet to be aired and I am losing my patience!
Time Frame: This one takes place Season 1, Episode 2 – the scene we didn't see, just before Spidey falls off the Spidey-cycle and his new teammates stop it in the construction area.
Out of Control (?)
"Come on, guys," Ava said, yanking her cowl over her head and smoothing out her mask. "Fury wants us to rescue Spidey from the big, bad, motorcycle."
"What a loser," Sam scoffed, grabbing his helmet and jamming it on his head. "Everyone up!"
Sam grabbed Luke and Danny by the arms, and flew down the hallway, White Tiger keeping pace with him. A hatch opened for them automatically and Sam swept through it without stopping. Ava flipped through the hatch right behind him, tumbled once, and landed neatly on Sam's back. Within minutes, they were following Spider-Man's tracks. Or rather, his webs.
Luke turned to Danny and grinned. "You hear that?" They all could. Spider-Man hadn't stopped screaming since he got on the bike in the Doc's lab. "He is completely out of control."
"No kidding," Ava snickered. "And we're supposed to learn from someone who can't even balance a bike?"
Danny Rand normally would have joined in, but his attention was caught by the large jumbo-tron screen owned by the Daily Bugle. The owner and proprietor, J. Jonah Jameson, was still ranting his head off at a decibel level he found most unpleasant, but Danny's eyes focused on something else. A tightly controlled and neatly drawn moustache, put there by the skidding back wheel of the so-called 'out of control' Spider-Man. Perfectly placed. Perfectly identifiable. And done by the 'panicking' superhero who was still screaming in the distance.
Danny listened to the others laugh and scoff at their soon-to-be-new teammate and wondered how much of it was just for show. He found himself looking forward to their meeting.
End
Like it? Love it? Hate it? Tell me!
Also – the question mark. Well, now you know it means we don't really
know if Spidey was as out of control as he seemed, now do we? :)
