The sterile hum of the Spider Society's fluorescent lights clashed with the sudden, intimate chaos on the floor. Gwen Stacy stood rigid, the shaved side of her blonde pixie prickling with static as her gaze locked onto the newcomer. The space between them felt charged, heavy with a fate she'd only dreamed of. When the stranger stumbled, a sympathetic, electric ache lanced through Gwen's own limbs—a brutal, beautiful confirmation.
