Meeting New Friends (open)

He shook her hand, as he turned to the brick wall behind him. He pressed his hand to it, as the bricks began to turn and move until there was an open passage-way.

Lena was surprised by the hidden door. She glanced down the passageway, her eyes growing wide.

He chuckled as her eyes widened. About 9 yards in would be the main room. "Ladies first."

She glanced up at him and back into the passageway. She could see all the way into the main room and shrugged, walking down the passage.

Spider-man walked behind her, as the bricks closed back up.

She walked into the main room, looking around.

In the room was lots of technology. It appeared as if there was only a main room, but there were secret passageways. There was a TV, a couch, a fridge, and other stuff.

Lena blinked in surprise and wrote, "You really have a stash of stuff here. What is this place?"

Spider-man chuckled, looking around. "It's where I live, and probably the future headquarters for heroes like me." he sighed, sitting down on the couch and pulling off his mask.

She wandered over to the technology, reaching out a little to touch a screen. She'd never really seen anything near this and she wrote, "What is this stuff?"

"Mostly security, some weapons, defenses, that kind of stuff." he told her.

"What? How is this stuff for defense? I've never seen anything like this..."

He stood up walking over to it. "Trust me, all I have to do is type in the pass key and I can shut down every robot within miles of this place."

"Robot?" she wrote, confusion spreading across her face.

He sighed. "Robots, the villains use them to fight. Robots are metal creatures made by men." he told her.

"Oh," she wrote. "The man who found me in Canada told me a little about them. I kinda lived in the wilderness for much of my life."

"Ooh." Peter said, sighing as he sat on the couch. "Do you watch TV?" he asked her.

She nodded and wrote, "A little. The only things they had in the few places where I watched TV were History Channel and FoxNews." She shuddered and added, "I hate FoxNews. The guys are such creepers."

He shrugged, turning on the TV. It turned on to some Villains New Network. "What the hell is this?"

She shrugged and her eyes narrowed as she stared at the TV.

Someone who appeared to be Russian by their accent came on the screen, it was a woman. "Hello citizens of the United States." she started off, as Peter tried to change the channel but it wouldn't work. "The war in Alaska has gone on long enough, and we are nearing our victory. When the war is over and we have control over Alaska, the United States will be under our official power. This is yet another step to a darker future." she smiled, grimly. "Any heroes, or citizens associated with heroes will be tortured and executed. That is all." the TV seemed to blink as a Pizza Hut commercial was resumed.

Lena's eyes widened and she glanced over at Peter. "What... there was a war going on in Alaska? Why didn't I know this? I've been there the whole time!"

He stared at the TV, stunned. "Alaska is one of the very few resistances left...the war has been going on for years." he sighed.

"Oh... no wonder we were attacked so often," she wrote.

He nodded, thinking about it.
