The worst thing is life is beaurocracy, that's for sure, Alexandra thought, as she drank a sip from her coffee, and prepared herself for the great fantastic adventure of standing in a queue for three hours, just to get a signed paper, so she could stand in a queue for another two hours to deliver it to the necessary office, hence, she'd be able to postpone her modern neuropsychology exam another two months. Seriously, in the age of computers, smartphones and all that stuff, one still needs to get all this done physically, taking up all that precious time. This simly doesn't make sense, she sighed, as she paid for the coffee and headed out of the university café with a dossier in her hand. Another long day coming...

But, then, the best laid plans of mice and men were wrecked in the simple moment, as she suddenly got a notification on her phone from a police emergency network (also available for heroes) that five criminals, belonging to a yet unknown organization, broke into a bank downtown, holding the people inside hostage, trying to take their hands on a large amount of diamonds stored in the vault. The situation was apparently crucial, and a special police team was already on their way to the scene. Alex shrugged with a slight smile, and decided that the queue will have to wait, and the university office clerks won't have the chance to encounter her ear-to-ear smile today. Now she had something more important (and much more fun) to take care of.

The woman quickly headed out of the lobby, feeling lucky that noone has recognized her, asking for autographs or something, found her car at the parking lot, and headed downtown. Listening to the police broadcast on her car radio, she began formulating a plan as she drove. (She also received a text message from her mom on Viber, asking for gift ideas for her sister's upcoming birthday, but she decided those gift ideas can wait... at least for the moment...) Fortunately, traffic was surprisingly low, allowing her to arrive to the crime scene in a hurry. She parked her car in a nearby alleyway, and quickly (and unobserved) changed into her hero attire (she chose her full bodysuit, complete with lightweight boots for this job). Getting out of the car, she approached the towering bank building, already surrounded by a police cordon, and police cars were blocking the entrance. Cops were buzzing all around, trying to hold back the curious crowd, filled with news cameras and reporters covering the scene.

"Hello there, guys.", Alex shouted loudly, accompanied by a wide grin, as she walked closer, suddenly diverting all attention to herself. Even though she was still her regular size, her costume gave away her identity. The cops, the civilian crowd and the distinguished members of the press now all suddenly began buzzing around her, all trying to catch a glimpse of the recently-arrived superhero. "It seems, you have a problem." She heard some voices talking to each other among the bedazzled crowd, "Is she..." "Yeah, the big one..." "Lady Godzilla herself..."

LIVING ON THE EDGE, FIGHTING CRIME, SPINNING WEBS, LOOKING UP WITH NO SURPRISE, ARRIVING AT THE SPEED OF TIME— FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN

[attr="class","monsterexo"]San Francisco!

Very different from the big apple— not really, but, well, to someone like August, it felt like it. He knew little of the places and anything but that was not the point since he wasn’t here to visit or anything but he had come here for work. Kind of. He was actually on a possible job interview, if all went well, it wasn’t like he would have come to work here either. But the headquarters for the agency was here and everything, although, he’d soon be back to New York.

Hopefully.

The man had initially waited hours and hours in the plan. He sat in his seat pretty quietly and only allowed through the faint blows of the wind and the constant but also relaxing noise of the flying jet that could be quite something, at times. Or well, he did find these sounds to be relaxing— not overdue, though. They could get annoying after a while.

However, though, time flew and had August soon on the ground as he had finally arrived. The man did not do much, honestly, at first, other than walking on the streets and everything— then again, he did have to pack off at the ‘apartment’ he had rented. Not like it was seriously all that much, its size was barely anything that couldn’t lead to insanity after a while, but hey; it had a bed, kitchen and as much as more than one person would be a tight fit, it was fine like that.

His time here would have been short-lived, after all.

That’s what he thought, at least!

Later that day, August had set off, well-dressed and everything for his interview but on the way to the complex— the sirens and the police cars were hard not to spot and notice. Again, he pretty much just stood there for a moment, frozen, almost as if he was about to run off and go.

“No.”

The guy nodded to himself.

“Just… go and get this job. The police can handle it.”

But not even a few moments later and he could hear a mess of voices: panic, fear, and whatnot.

August sighed and was honestly about to smack his face in the palm of his hand, but he just sighed and ran off into an alleyway as he soon jumped and met the wall with the tip of his foot before he pushed himself off and leaped off to the opposite wall and quickly climbed the wall like that before he finally landed with both his limbs, one knelt and the other stretched, on the rooftops as he began to tinker with his attire; taking it off and revealing a black, spider symbol.

Later, on the scene of the crime, the Spider-Man swung in with his webs, but from the back and had landed on top of the bank building, somewhat chilling on the roof as he took a quick look around and moved to look down; he saw plenty of cops. Which would have made a frontal entrance even more impossible? He didn’t know how far-fetched his notoriety was in San Francisco, but he was indeed a vigilante, so that’d have been hard to pull off.

There was also a lady he focused on for a few moments as she wore a… body tight catsuit, difficult not to notice and stare for a few moments— until he realized that was creepy and simply returned his attention to the roof.

“What can I do…”

He mumbled under his breath before he noticed an air duct! Definitely a good entrance. With a little help from his webs and some pulling, he easily removed the bars and managed to sneak in the system, slowly making his way into the building, although with little leads as to where would have been the duct to bring him to the robbing scene.

The cops were mostly fine with the newcomer arriving to help them. During her now more than half years of experience as a superhero, Alexandra got used to the police mostly being friendly with heroes interfering with their work. First, she feared that they might feel her not welcome, fearing that she might take away their jobs, but she experienced the contrary, much to her pleasant surprise. As much as the law didn't much tolerate vigilantes, it was a whole different case with heroes. They government sponsored, enjoyed a sort of celebrity status, and the police was more than happy that they took some weight off their shoulders.

However, as soon as she arrived, all photo and video cameras were suddenly aimed at her, and reporters began buzzing around her as she walked closer to the police blockade. "Are you here to assist the police?", a reporter asked what was probably the most stupid question possible. "No, I'm just here to do some barbecue and drink some lemonade.", Alex replied with a sarcastic grin, and quickly shrugged her off. "Is it true that the government paid more than a million dollars to compensate for damages done by their heroes since the program was started?", a guy then asked. "Why not ask the government?", she dismissed the guy, and dodged off any other attempts by the press to corner her.

Finally arriving to the police squadron, Alexandra turned to the guy who seemed to be in charge, a bulky sergeant in a body armour. He was surrounded by his special forces team, all dressed in a similar way, carrying handguns and other equipment. "We have them surrounded from the outside. They can't leave the place.", the man explained to Alex, "But we won't risk getting in before we can't guarantee the safety of the hostages."

"I see.", the superhero nodded, trying to formulate a plan, "I can probably sneak inside without getting noticed, and help in getting the hostages out.", she suggested, "And kick some butts in the process.", she added with a slight grin.

With that, Alex headed to the entrance, as the police leader signaled his people to let her cross their line and proceed inside the building. As she walked to the barricaged entrance, she looked for a suitable place to sneak in. Finding a small hatch right next to the main entrance, she decided it's better than nothing, and concentrated on getting smaller. Shrinking to bug size, she decided to climb inside the bank unobserved, something the cops were obviously not capable of doing.
