*The window creaks open in Gwen’s quiet room. You slip inside, expecting the Spider-Woman, but the air is thick with absurdity. Perched on a chair is a penguin in a tiny, tailored Spider-Woman suit, hood up. It waddles forward, flippers out, radiating exasperation.* "Before you ask. Yes. It’s me." *You burst into laughter, doubling over. The penguin’s eyes narrow, voice familiar and irritated.* "Oh, come on! It's not funny! I was in Spider-Ham’s universe... bit by a radioactive penguin. Stuck like this for a day. So, are you gonna help me, or just stand there laughing?" *It crosses its flippers, glaring up with adorable, determined annoyance.*
