WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD - Mod Plot [Mission Log Post]

[letsgolegion]

Who| Everyone!
What| Fighting all the threats that Galactus' presence has caused
Where| Mostly on and around Braal, except for Spectre team who will be on Earth
When| After Galactus' appearance and after Nova was put in Medbay
Warnings/Notes| N/A for now

There were a lot of fires for the Legion to put out all at once. While the Legionnaires native to the universe constructed the sun cannon near Braal's sun and prepared to fend off an attack from Galactus, the other teams had to get into place in the many places they were needed.

So far Galactus' siphons hadn't been sunk into the planet yet but it was only a matter of time.

Gwen was no stranger to head-trauma, and the hit she felt this time actually knocked her all the way back as well. Leave it to Jameson to always have something up his sleeve, to always turn the situation into one that benefited him. Fine, whatever, she'd take the hit, maybe start hallucinating Spider-Ham at any moment. It didn't matter. Gwen just wanted to shut his stupid mouth once and for all.

"A menace like you needs to be brought to justice! Parker may have been the first, but he won't be last if you're left out in the streets!"

Right, right. She had her wanted posters plastered throughout the city, and a media empire pushing for her arrest. Heck, she had even memorized the hotline number they could call for tips on the big bad Spider-Woman.

"Yeah, I'm a real threat alright. Girl who's living off of corndogs and can't even hold a damn job for a day before being snatched into some huge universe-endangering mess. That's your Spider-Woman."

Couldn't even save Peter, while she was at it.

"You know, I just remembered something."

She fired some webbing right at Jameson.

"I really can't stand your face."

[captainbuzzkill]

Bill suddenly transformed, similar to the way he'd changed into a giant monster when he'd chased Mabel and Dipper through the Fearamid, only now he looked more spider-like.

It was even more terrifying than he'd been back then.

"All the power in the world won't save you, Pine Tree! It's still doesn't even come close to comparing to my own!"

"Great Uncle Ford told me that being a hero means fighting back even when it seems impossible!"

"Then it's not the only thing Sixer will be wrong about it!"

From the center of Bill's mouth he shot webbing at Dipper's face. The surprise of it meant his protective teke aura dimmed and it managed to successfully stick to his face, making it hard to breathe and impossible for him to see, leaving him vulnerable.

[deafleppard]

Yeah, that shut Jameson up real nice and good. God, she liked him so much better now that she didn't have to listen to his stupid voice. Except it wasn't just his voice that she didn't like, but everything about him. Was he even aware of what he'd done to her?

She was already beating herself up about what happened to Peter and didn't need him to join in on that. But no, he just had to get himself involved...

Well, Gwen had a story for him. It was the story of how his face got rearranged by big bad Spider-Woman. With the webbing still stuck on him, Gwen lept forward, pinning Jameson against the ground and hitting him square in the face a second time.

"Doesn't feel good, right? Feeling pretty helpless right now, I bet."

[captainbuzzkill]

Dipper did feel helpless and that made his teke field dim even more. He tried to lash out with it but with how disoriented he was, and the beatdown he was taking, he couldn't get it to work. His powers were too closely tied to his emotions and feeling scared and vulnerable wasn't conducive to getting them to work.

"Stop!"

It was instinct to cry it out, just terrified instinct. Dipper knew Bill wouldn't stop, except -- except as he managed to peel some of the webbing off his face, for just a second, it occurred to him that webbing was a weird thing for Bill to fire at him. He'd never taken on a spider form before. And wasn't wevving something that belonged to --

Instead of Bill, her face briefly flashed. Gwen.

Bill had appeared but where had Gwen gone? What if all this was some kind of trick?

"Stop!"

Blood was running from his nose now and with him not sure if it really was Bill, he was afraid to fight back.

[deafleppard]

"Stop? After all the hell you put me through? Sorry, but this stops when I say it stops." Another solid punch right to Jameson, and god did it feel good. Now he was finally getting a taste of what it felt like. To have one person ruin so much of your life.

Granted, all she was doing right now was ruining his face but it'd be a good enough start for Gwen.

"And just remember, this isn't over until I say it's over!"

Gwen had to show him just who was boss, after all. Just like...

Wait a second, hadn't she done this before with Peter? The realization was what made Gwen snap out of it, finally. Only for her to see what she had just done.

"D-Dipper? What was I..." Oh, god.

[captainbuzzkill]

He wasn't beaten that badly, but it still wasn't pretty. Bruises, a puffy eye, and a bloody nose.

As soon as she stopped punching him, his arms went to his face, as he tried to protect himself from more blows, but then he realized that no more were coming, and peeked out between his hands.

"You can -- you can see me now?"

[deafleppard]

Gwen had frozen in place momentarily, her arms falling limp to her sides. What she was doing now, it was... She had just completely and utterly lost it and was just toying with Dipper. Just like she had with... oh god.

She immediately got off from Dipper and just pushed herself all the way up against a wall, hands reaching up to grab her head.

"I didn't... I don't know what come over me. I swear, I..."

It was to the point where she was mostly talking to herself, just looking at the floor rather than Dipper.

[captainbuzzkill]

"It's not your fault. This place did something to us."

He was used to weird supernatural junk enough to realize that was what it was, but knowing it was something done to them didn't make this any less awkward.

He avoided her eyes as he wiped at his nose with the back of his hand.

"You looked like...like someone else to me, too."

[deafleppard]

"I saw someone instead of you. I saw..." A real jerk of a man, for starters. But she ended up keeping herself from saying his name, and shaking her head.

"Nevermind. We..." Gwen then stood up. "We should get out of here, before this place messes with us again."

And then looked back to Dipper, just for a moment. "You're good enough for that, yeah?" Apologies could come later.
