I can’t blame you for being so damn egotistical all the time. This feeling… it really is intoxicating.

Hope I’m doing good as Ripley though. As said before, first time writing a Marvel character in the main comics continuity. I feel like I’m just finding my rhythm atm.

There was something much more sinister in her voice now, like whatever wolf underneath her just discarded it’s sheep’s clothing. A wily grin spread from cheek to cheek under her mask.

Not even her Spider Sense saw that one coming. With no warning, she was now standing on a stage alongside Star, under a spotlight, with applause ... what?
"What?"
She looked around frantically. What about the buildings around them? Was there any damage involved in this?
"What?" she repeated.

"Cool's ... definitely a word for it," Gwen would said, a grin in her voice and, somehow, the eyes of her mask.
"But what else do you have? Because I learned I could pick up cars and climb walls before I designed a costume, you gotta have more than flashy eyes."

Spoken both to herself and the spider. Star was a little… basic, wasn’t it? Eh, whatever. It’s not like she was an actual hero or anything.

"Oh wow, cosmic sounding. I like it. Though it doesn't really give much to work with? I'm Ghost-Spider. So you know that I'm kinda like Spider-Man, same genre, you know?"
Her arms would cross, her weight set in one leg.
"So what's with the whole glowy eyes and voice thing? Part of your powers?"

Ripley’s rotten luck struck again. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea trying this on another spider. She bit her lip as the crimson faded from her eyes. How many strikes was this? The blonde lost count.
