Annie tells Hughie the truth

Gwen and Annie are walking towards Hughie's workplace

Gwen: It's nice swinging around the city so high up, but it's always good to walk among the people, it will keep you grounded

Annie: You do it often

Gwen: I do, it's the only way to keep your ego in check, if you don't, you might start thinking that you're better than other people

Civillian 1: hey girls, you two look lonely. Why don't my friend and I keep you company

Annie: No thanks, we have somewhere to be

Civillian 2: We insist, we'll show you guys a good time

Gwen walks up to the two men before Annie can answer

Gwen: We are quite bored, but do you guys really think you can satisfy us

Civillian 1: Believe me girl, we can

Gwen: Take a good look at my cleavage

Civillian 2: won't be hard to look at those giant tits of yours, they are almost shooting out

Gwen: They are big aren't they, which makes me wonder if you two are big enough

Civillian 1: Sorry

Gwen: I don't waste my time with micro dicks, so tell me if I put my tits around your cocks will they still be visible

Civillian 2: Uhm

Gwen: That's what I thought, get lost you two, we want a real man, not you two with your micro dicks

Civillian 1: s-sorry to bother you two

Civillian 2: y-yeah

they leave

Gwen: pathetic

Annie: I can't believe you did that

Gwen: Guys like those have a big mouth, but can never back it up

Annie: And what if they had continued

Gwen: Then I would have dared them to drop their pants right here and now, and then we could have called the police for harassment

Annie: You're insane

Gwen: no i'm using the law to my advantage, I could beat them up easily, but then they could use the law against me. Remember Annie, once our suits are off, we have to answer to the same rules as everybody else

Annie: I'll remember

Gwen: Good, now where does he work

Annie: Right here

They enter the shop and see Felicia standing at the counter

Felicia: Good evening

Annie: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE

Annie's eyes start to glow, and light forms around her hand

Gwen: easy Annie, Felicia was following orders

Annie: Huh

Felicia: to show you how easy it is for someone like a villain to come in contact with the people you care about

Annie calms down, and her hand and eyes stop glowing

Annie: noted

Hughie returns from the back with the parts

Hughie: Here are the parts, Annie. What are you doing here

Gwen: She has something to discuss with you

Hughie: And you are

Gwen: I'm Gwen, nice to meet you

Gwen shakes Hughie's hand

Hughie: I'm Hughie

Annie: Can we speak in private

Hughie: she waiting for me to finish this

Gwen: Don't worry, we have time

Annie: but

Gwen: Let's leave those two alone for a bit. Is there a coffee machine around

Hughie: yeah right there, Annie can show you how it works

They walk to the coffee machine

Gwen: So you like the nerdy types

Annie: What

Gwen: Does he even have muscles? He seems so small and weak

Annie: he's stronger than you think

Gwen notices how defensive Annie gets

Gwen: alright sorry

Hughie: They're all done, the speaker works again

Felicia: oh thank you, you are amazing

Hughie: I'm just doing my job

Felicia: here keep the change

Hughie: This is 1000 dollars, it's more than twice what you owe me

Felicia: for your quick help

Felicia leaves while winking at Gwen and Annie

Hughie: So what can I help with

Gwen: With this

Gwen shoots a web on the desk in front of Hughie

Hughie: your

Gwen: Spider-Woman

Annie: Hughie, this is about

Hughie: Absolutely not

Gwen: At least hear her out dude

Hughie: I know what she wants and I forbid it

Gwen: You forbid it

Annie: Hughie this is my dream, and you know that, don't you Trust me

Hughie: Trust a two-way street, you told me that you didn't sign yourself up for the program

Gwen: Listen up, toothpick

Hughie: toothpick?

Gwen: yeah you have the body of one

Gwen: Annie is the best candidate we have. She's currently in an internship period, it's only when that's done that we will decide if she becomes part of the team

Hughie: So she doesn't even get paid

Gwen: Oh no, she will

Hughie: How much

Gwen: 250.000 dollars

Hughie: WHAT

Gwen: Tell me Hughie, how long would it take you to earn that

Hughie: many years

Gwen: Thought so, Annie won't live with us and as far as people will know is that she will work as an intern in the office section of Warden Incorporated

Annie: And if I go on a mission during the internship i'll be accompanied by one of the Wardens of peace

Hughie: The Wardens of Peace

Gwen: You know, Invisible Woman, The Thing, or me

Annie: And I won't live with the others, I'll still live with you at home

Gwen: And if that isn't enough to persuade you, Warden Incorporated will install the best security system in your home free of charge as long as Annie's internship goes on, and we'll continue to pay for it if she becomes a full member

Annie: But don't I have to move there if I become a full member

Gwen: Exceptions can always be made

Hughie: I'll have to think about this, I want to discuss it further at home

Gwen: Very well, no matter your chocie i'll see you tomorrow

Annie: I'll tell you then what we have decided, and thank you, even if it was only one lesson

Gwen: I'll see you tomorrow

Gwen Leaves

Hughie: Let me lock up, so we can go home

Annie: I'll wait
