This was easily the worst week of her entire life. Her dad died, killed because of Spider-Man, Peter was flaking on her, and just when things were looking up, she entered Peter and Harry's apartment with Sam Bullit only to find Spider-Man crawling in through the window like an unwanted bug!
"Spider-Man! The one who killed my father!" Gwen yelled, pointing an accusatory finger at Spider-Man.
"We thought there was a connection between you and Parker- And now we have our proof!" Bullit accused.
Spider-Man managed to grab Gwen, carrying her out the window and crawling up alongside the building, all the while Gwen's fists pounded at his chest.
"You'll never try to trap me again!" The damned arachnid threatened.
"You won't get away with this Wall-Crawler! There's no place you can hide, hear?!" The older man called behind them. Some onlookers saw them up high, drawing more attention to the spider and Gwen.
"Let me go! Let me go!" She didn't care if she fell or how futile this attempt was, she just wanted him to get his hands off of her. Furious tears fell from her eyes, and she was shifted so she was hoisted over Spider-Man's shoulder as they got even higher.
"I don't like being called a killer, lady! Your father's death was an accident!" The menace tried unsuccessfully. Gwen was too disgusted and outraged to even acknowledge him, still hitting at him as they got further and further away from Bullit.
"I didn't go to Parker's apartment to see him- I was following you!"
"You masked murderer! You can't frighten me!" Gwen lied, hitting at him, squirming, desperately trying to escape his grasp. "Sooner or later, you'll get what's coming to you! So long as there are men like Sam Bullit are around!"
Spider-Man leaped off the building and shot a strand of web out, and they were soaring through the sky with Gwen still pounding her fists angrily at his back. "When he's elected D.A he'll finish you!"
"Sure he will! Just like Goliath finished David! Stop whackin' me! You'd be in some spot if I dropped you now! I don't know what pipsqueak Parker sees in you!" Gwen growled, hitting him even harder now. How dare he!
Spider-Man finally stopped atop a building, setting her on the ground, but Gwen was so pissed, she shoved herself away from him, finally escaping his grasp with a violent fall to the ground. The pain in her knees was ignored, and the gravel dug into her flesh as she pushed herself up with furious tears brimming her eyes.
"Now that you're finally quiet, I've got some things to tell you-" Spider-Man was behind her now, crouched on the ground, as he spoke. "First about that dumb-dumb Parker-"
"You loathsome arrogant savage! You aren't even fit to mention Peter's name!" Gwen growled under her breath. "He's more of a man than you'll ever hope to be!" And they call this jerk 'amazing'!
"You've had it, you overrated creep!" Someone interrupted. "I never thought you'd stoop to pushing females around!" That someone turned out to be the Iceman. Gwen had no clue where he came from, but she was remotely grateful. Even if she wasn't in favor of superheroes right now.
Anything to get away from that monster, Spider-Man.
"Now let's see what you can do against some real opposition!" The Iceman hit Spider-Man with his ice right to the face, knocking the web-slinger down.
"You're barking up the wrong tree, you frost-bitten freak! But if it's a fight you're looking for-" Spider-Man trailed off, running towards Iceman.
"A fight, Spider-Man? Don't flatter yourself! You're not even in my league!" Iceman retorted, freezing the ground before Spidey and making him slip, falling backward.
"I can handle a dozen like you- without catching my breath." he continued. "Do you need a special passport for that ego trip of yours?" Spider-Man quipped.
Gwen watched on, horrified, backing away from them. "Be careful, Iceman! Don't let his flippancy disarm you! He's killed before- and might do it again!" she warned him, shielding her face with her forearm.
Police sirens were heard, and Gwen could hear Sam Bullit pointing out Spider-Man's location.
"S'matter Wall-Crawler? Were you happier fighting a helpless girl?" Iceman taunted as Spidey observed the crowd forming.
Spider-Man gave up, leaping into the sky and web-slinging away, shooting a look over his shoulder towards Gwen as he left.
It wasn't at all long before Iceman carried Gwen in his arms carefully escorting her back to safety where a crowd of people were waiting for them. "You'll be alright now! Spider-Man's gone."
Gwen was finally set on the ground, and she felt exhausted from this entire ordeal, holding her head in her hand, touching her temple, her eyes drifting shut momentarily. Bullit was swift to recruit Iceman to get rid of Spider-Man. The press surrounded them and taking some pictures. Gwen couldn't bring herself to pay full attention any more, and Sam ushered her into the back of an off-duty officer's vehicle.
"I'll take you home, Miss Stacy." Sargeant Garfield said, walking around the vehicle and opening the driver's door and starting up the engine. "Thank you, I appreciate it, Sgt. Garfield." Gwen replied, buckling her seatbelt. She was relieved to be in the company of a friendly face. Taking her phone out from her pocket and trying to phone Peter only lead her to his voicemail.
She sighed deeply, figuring she'd try again later on. Gwen drummed her fingernails against the door handle, wondering what on earth Peter was always scurrying off to. Why has he been avoiding her since her father's funeral? Sure, she wasn't a picnic since then, but who would be? Peter said he'd take care of her, but he was almost never around. He was all she had now..
Fun Fact: People immortalize Gwen as a "bad girlfriend" but Peter was the main source of their conflicts because of his lies.
