Gang Leader: Now ladies if you want to get high you got to pay the man. And you know what I want ,what me and my boys want.

As the group approaches the two women two of the man are pulled from behind.

Gang Leader: What the hell!

As the leader turns he runs into a right hook from American Dream.

TIME 12:30AM; Astoria,Queens:

The three enter a very lovely apartment.

Julia Carpenter: Welcome to my home make yourselves at home.

American Dream: (looking around) Nice place you got her Madame Web.

Julia Carpenter: Thank you expected something more mysterious.

American Dream: That is getting very annoying.

Julia Carpenter: (smiling) My daughter says the same thing.

Spider-Girl: You have a daughter?

Julia Carpenter: Yes ,she's sleeping over at a friend's house so you can use her room.

Spider-Girl: Thank you.

American Dream: Yeah ,thank you Madame I mean Julia.

Julia Carpenter : Pleasant dreams ladies we'll talk more in the morning.

Spider-Girl: So only one bed how you want to do this,Shannon?

American Dream: (laughing) How about you cling yourself to the wall and sleep there. I'll take the bed.

Spider-Girl: Very funny. Back to back?

American Dream: Sounds like a plan. Night May.

Spider-Girl: Night Shannon.

TIME 8:30 AM;Early Morning

American Dream: May! Get in here!

May jumps out of bed and races to the living room. When she arrives Shannon and Julia are watching an early morning news report.

News Reporter: It looks like the New York hero community has a dynamic duo. This amateur footage shows two costumed individuals engaged in combat . What is remarkable about the footage both are female one seems to draw a strong resemblance to Captain America. As for the other it seems we have another arachnid heroine in town. Now we know this is not the same Spider-Girl that is apart of the Lady Liberators. So who can this be? Does Captain America have a sister we never knew about? All we know for sure is the group of woman they saved were grateful.

American Dream: Well what do you think?

Spider-Girl: I think my spider-sense is tingling.
