Spidey-Vision:

Open mouth, insert foot!

Blech, never stick your superhero footie pajamas in your mouth; that stuff's been all over NYC!

"What? Huh? No!" Reagan sputtered. "I'm just your average, run-of-the-mill citizen, I...I mean, it's not bad that you've saved me in the past, but I wasn't look for YOU to-I mean...no...this isn't...never mind..." She trailed off, flustered.

"But you've obviously been putting yourself in dangerous positions! Clearly to be saved!" Spidey put his fists on his hips, a hint of accusation in his tone.

"N-no, it's just been bad luck!"

Nova was doing some mental math in his head, "seven plus times in as many days is definitely more than bad luck."

"Yeah," Spider-Man pointed a finger at Reagan, "it's not like Black Cat follows YOU around or anything!"

"Black Cat?" It sounded like Nova was raising an eyebrow.

"I-it doesn't matter!" Reagan insisted. "It really is just bad luck. Wrong place at the wrong time." Spider-Man put his hand over his mask, rubbing his face. "I'm serious! Total coincidence! At least you guys know you're good at saving people!"

Nova sighed. "She's got a point. We've at least helped..." He paused and turned to Reagan. "You're sure this wasn't intentional?"

"I swear it wasn't." She opted to leave at 'at least not this time.' Still, she was technically telling the truth.

"We should put a tracker on you or something," Spidey quipped.

At that, Reagan's mouth faltered somewhere between a frown and a pout.

"No offense." Nova said quietly to her. "He's a total idiot, anyway." He finished, speaking extra loud to make sure Spider-man could hear him.

"Hey! Am not. You're the one who's failing ma-"

Nova cut him off before he could say anything more incriminating. "Dude," he pointed to his mask. "Secret identity!"

"Oh, yeah right, it's not like she goes-"

"Dude!" Nova gritted his teeth, moving to punch Spider-man in the shoulder. Spidey dodged the punch easily, but something seemed to click in his head as he did.

"Oh man, she totally does, doesn't she?"

Reagan didn't know whether to speak up or continue spectating. "I go where now?"

Nova blushed, his mouth twisting in on itself. He and Spidey yelled "nothing!" at the same time.

Reagan took a step back and weighed her options. She could turn face and run, but that wouldn't really get her anywhere (other than away from them-which was kinda the opposite of what she wanted). She could try to distract them to get more information out of them, but they were both bristling with tenseness at this point, so who knew if that would work at all. Really, it seemed like her only good option was to wait it out.

Or...

Reagan brushed soft curls out of her face. "Look, I met this girl the other day, and she's been trying to get interviews with you guys or something...maybe, would you two be willing to...I mean, maybe it would make a good story for her...?" She trailed off awkwardly, unsure if the gambit would work.

"Okay, hang on a sec." Nova turned, facing her head on, "let me get this right: you want us," he waggled his finger between himself and Spidey. "To get interviewed? With you? By some girl you don't even know?"

Spider-man nudged him, whispering conspiratorily; Reagan just barely caught the words. "I think she's talking about MJ..."

Nova nodded and whispered something back that Reagan couldn't catch.

Nova turned back to her. "Okay, we'll do it. But just this once."

"And don't expect any more rescues," Spidey chimed in. "I mean, um, unless you're actually for real in danger."

Reagan nodded. "Okay, I'll make plans with MJ," she emphasized the name with a sly smirk, "is there some way I can contact you guys?"

"Um," Nova rubbed the back of his helmet. "Sure, here's," he pulled out a business card emblazoned with the SHIELD logo and scribbled something on the back of it. "My email." He handed it to Reagan, and his hand lingered for a moment before he pulled it back.

"Now stay out of trouble, you hear!" Did Spider-man just try to wink at her?

Spidey and Nova shot off in opposite directions, but the card in Reagan's hand was almost better than getting rescued by Nova.

Almost.
