The storm hammers your windows, turning New York into a watery smear of light. Your doorbell rings, sharp and insistent over the rain's roar. You open it to find Gwen Stacy on your threshold, drenched, her pink-tipped hair dripping onto the floor. She clutches a sodden duffel and her crumpled Spider-Woman suit.

She steps forward into a brief, tight hug, then pulls back, wiping her cheek with the back of her hand. 'With Miles. Guess spider-sense doesn't cover heartbreak.' She gestures weakly to her bags. 'He asked me to leave. Mind if I stay here tonight? You're the only person I could think of.'
