Spider-Gal is swinging through the city on her webs and perches on a water tower. "Nothing screams Friday night, but patrol." Spider-Gal sighed. She looked around the city and found no crime. "I miss Shocker and Rhino." She sighed. "At least I can get some action from those clowns."

Then her Spidey-sense goes off and she looks around. "What is it Spidey-sense?" Spider-Gal wondered as she noticed a store with a broken window. She swings down and lands at a 3 crouch position.

"Ok time to stop this," Spider-Gal looked up and noticed that the sign says Cheese s

hop. "A cheese store robbery? Who would rob a cheese store? A giant rat?" Spider-Gal asked.

Then a humanoid rat figure with brown fur and a pink tail, wearing black torn pants. "I was kidding! There's really a giant rat!" Spider-Gal exclaimed. The giant rat swipes his claws at Spider-Gal, but she dodges the attack.

The giant rat grabs a sack and runs away. Spider-Gal shoots a web line and swings to chase the giant rat. "Seriously first a giant lizard which was my uncle, and a guy in a Rhino suit. What's next a vampire, scorpion and a vulture?" Spider-Gal said.

Spider-Gal is still chasing down the giant rat monster, she evens shoots webs at the monster's feet but she misses. Then she shoot two web lines at the monster's back and used her venom shock to take down the monster. The giant rat drops to the ground, and loses it's grip on the sack.

Spider-Gal walks towards the sack and opens it up, and all she found was wheels of cheese.

"This is just cheese." Spider-Gal said and then her Spidey-sense went off as she turns around and sees that the Giant Rat got back and smacks Spider-Gal to the side hitting a car on impact. "Ow." She gets back up and sees the rat monster getting away. Spider-Gal gets back up and chases after the giant rat.

When she turns left, Spider-Gal look around and she doesn't see the rat monster anywhere. "Where did it go?!" Spider-Gal exclaimed. "The rat either climbed the buildings or went under." Spider-Gal said as she looked at a manhole cover. "Nevermind, I'll let the rat monster enjoy his or her cheese."

Spider-Gal shoots a web line and swings away, but the rat monster lifted the manhole cover and spied on the web swinger. "She's the target that the boss wants? Well Vermin you have a lot of work to do." Vermin said.

In the hangout spot, Ronnie Anne enters the hang out, where Sid is waiting for her while sitting on a beanbag chair while reading a magazine. "So how was patrol?" Sid asked.

"Well there was no crime, until I encountered a giant rat robbing a cheese shop." said Ronnie Anne, Sid dropped her magazine and her eyes widened.

"Wait a giant rat was robbing a cheese shop?" Sid asked. "I would say that's a load of crap, but you have spider powers, so I believe you."

"And my uncle Carlos was a giant lizard." Ronnie Anne pointed out.

"We can ask Dr. Connors if someone was working on rats?" Sid suggested.

"Good idea, I'll call him right now." said Ronnie Anne as she takes out her phone and called Dr. Kurt Connors. "Dr. Connors, it's me Spider-Gal. I'm not interrupting anything?"

"Oh no, you're not, I was doing a crossword puzzle." Dr. Connors said. "I'm guessing this is about the giant rat monster?"

"Yeah, do you know any scientists that worked with rats?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Well no, there's no one that I know of that worked with rats." Dr. Connors said.

"Are you sure?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Positive. Anyway I gotta go, have a nice weekend." Dr. Connors said and hung up.

"Well so much for Dr. Connors." Ronnie Anne said.

"Well you have an animal expert in training to help you." Sid smiled.

"Oh yeah I do." Ronnie Anne replied. "What do you know about rats?"

"Let's see they can swim for three days and hold their breath for about 3 minutes. They can squeeze through tight spaces." Sid said.

"Good to know. Tomorrow the both of us are going to trap this rat mouse and hand him over to some eggheads." Ronnie Anne said.

"Like mouse trap?" Sid asked.

"Well without the stuff from the board game. I'll hit the giant rat with a Venom shock on the monster." Ronnie Anne said.

"Good enough, now let's watch That 70's show." Sid said.

The next day, both Ronnie Anne and Sid are in Ronnie Anne's room planning out how to catch the giant rat. "We'll use some cheese as bait and I shock the beast." Ronnie Anne said.

"Sounds like a plan Ronnie Anne." Sid said and then the two hear screaming coming from oustide, so they look out the fire escape and see an pack of rats heading to one direction and Bobby is curbed up in a ball clutching the door handle.

"Is that normal?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"No, it's not. But we can go check it out." Sid said as she looked at Ronnie Anne who is fully dressed as Spider-Gal.

"Sorry Sid, I follow the rats, I find the Rat King." Spider-Gal said. "I'll kick the monster's ass and save the city's cheese supply." Spider-Gal shoots a web line and swings to follow the rats.

Sid sighs and decides to go the hang out room and play a video game. "Man, o thought it would be cool having a superhero best friend, but we barely hang out and she spends more time with villains than me!" Sid growled, but it caused her character to die and she throws her controller in anger at a random box knocking it down and the content of the box spilled out.

Sid walked over to the box and puts the stuff back, until something catches her eye, it was a jade amulet of a tiger's face. "Cool, a necklace." Sid smiled.

What did Sid found? Will Spider-Gal find Vermin by following the rats? What is Vermin up too? Find out next time.
