[Opposite Plot] It's Business Time

[daretodo]

Mary Jane might have been my priority tonight, but I'm not about to pass up the opportunity to get back at Gambit -- finally -- when he's practically been gift wrapped for me. I've been tailing him since he left the club, keeping my movements high up in the trees, as to not rouse his suspicion. I'm no Tarzan, so I can't help the occasional rustle now and again, but it's not like the sound of rustling trees is all that out of place in a jungle late at night. Besides, considering I'm flying virtually blind up here, it's a wonder I'm not just falling to my death.

Heh. Maybe some of ol' Hornhead's tricks have rubbed off on me over the years.

Anyway, once I'm sure we're in a real secluded spot -- don't want to risk any interruptions -- I leap right outta the tree, firing off a web as I fall. Swinging right towards him, I hold out my legs in front of me, fully intent on knocking him right down on his ass.

"SURPRISE, MOTHER%*$!ER!"

I'm not usually in de habit of calling early nights, but Parker's little show back dere left a bad taste in my mouth and with half de island acting like lunatics, it seems like as good a time as any to pack it in. Apparently someone- or something else has got other plans, though. My line of work, knowing when dere are eyes on you's a useful skill to have, and it tends to come in handy more often den it probably should.

I'm not sure exactly how long I've been followed, but it's getting long enough for me to be annoyed as well as on edge by de time something comes of it. Not a big fan of suspense, me. Still, when something comes flying at me out of the trees at Warp 3, it's sudden enough dat I don't even have de chance to come up with a witty comment as I leap to the side, just managing to avoid a pair of colorful little booties upside the head.

"Spider-Man?" I shout, rolling to my feet. "Have you lost your mind, homme?"
