May Parker has been fighting crime in New York City for about six months now, sticking to mostly low-level crimes, such as muggings, to avoid grabbing the attention of any of the heroes in the area, the press, or worse, her parents, who made her promise that she would never pursue a career in superheroing. Unable to resist the urge to put her powers to use for the greater good, however, May has been sneaking off at night after gymnastic team practices at ESU to patrol the streets, doing her best to keep hidden from prying eyes.

However, having recently designed a better costume for herself, May has began to start breaking up "higher profiled" crimes, such as bank robberies, still going out at only night, making sure that she's out of the sight before the police appear on the scene. Leaving the police finding criminals outside of the bank, caught in a spider-web outside of the bank.

Scene one: Elizabeth Faraday (icon is in nextgen_misc, the protege of J. Jonah Jameson and current editor and chief of the Daily Buggle publishes a front-page article entitled "The Return of the Web-Swinging Menace?", implying that Spider-Man has come out of retirement, with a picture of the bank robbers in a giant spider-web on the cover. This will be open to reactions. Also, Peter, seeing the article, calls May at school, thinking that she's going against her parent's wishes. May insists that it's not her, saying that it's probably Spider-Woman or a fan who developed technology similar to Peter's. Peter, giving his daughter the benefit of the doubt, lets it go for the time being, but puts a call out to the Avengers to keep an eye peeled for May...just in case.

Scene two: May is at the First National Bank putting money into her savings account when Lady Octopus and Green Goblin crash in, determined to rob the bank. May, seeing people in danger, and not caring if people see her, slips out to change into her Spider-Girl costume. The three begin to fight, while in the mean time, the manager of the bank has put out a call to Avengers. A small group of the Avengers show up (doesn't matter to me which, though I would like to throw out a request for Vernique, for an idea that I have later in the plot), and help (much to her distaste) May fight off Lady Octopus and Green Goblin. As soon as the fight is over, May web-swings before the Avengers can say anything to her. Little to her knowledge, though, the Avengers send Vernique after May to follow her. Vernique follows May back to the abandoned alleyway where she changed into her Spider-Girl costume. There, Vernique witnesses May taking off her mask, revealing her to be Spider-Girl. Vernique returns to the Avengers and tells them to inform Peter that his daughter has moonlighting as Spider-Girl.

Scene three: May receives a call from the Avengers telling her to come to Avenger's mansion. She arrives, in her Spider-Girl costume...only to find Peter and Mary Jane waiting there for her. Peter and MJ pull their daughter aside, disappointed that she went against their wishes. The three of them have a long conversation, May convincing her parents that this is what she feels like she was born to do, and doesn't feel like she should be putting her powers to waste by not helping people out. Peter, seeing that she's right, agrees with her, and agrees to let her continue fighting crime as Spider-Girl. After her parents leave, the Avengers extend May an offer of membership and to stay and train with them. May declines the offer, though they tell her that the offer still stands, should she ever wish to join them.

Over all, the point of this plot is to establish Spider-Girl as an independent hero and get May into the swing of things on the street scene. Also makes for some interesting conflict with the Rose Red gang, as Lady Oc and Goblin will have no doubt informed their leader about the new Web-Swinger on the scene.

Also...I'm gonna need a couple of temps! I can cover Faraday, as her scene is going to be brief. I do however temps for the following....

Lady Octopus-
Green Goblin-
Peter-
MJ-

And I will take any volunteers for Avengers that want to get in on the scene with May, Lady Oc, and Goblin, though I'd like to keep the group fairly small, four tops, counting Vernique.

Info on Lady Octopus and Green Goblin can be found here.

Thanks in advance to everyone that helps out with this plot!
