Ch. 5: What a Shocker

The next day, Boscha woke up in the hotel she found yesterday.

It was pretty close to the civic center and moderately priced, so she had planned to stay for at least two weeks before moving to another one.

"Day 2 of NYC, here I come." Boscha said as she grabbed her phone. "Hopefully this will go well."

Boscha showered and headed downstairs for hotel breakfast, getting her fill before she headed back to the Civic Center for information on the city and for Spider-Girl she couldn't find online.

'Maybe I'll find information on where her stomping ground is.' She thought, eating a bagel with strawberry cream cheese on it.

Something she used to eat these with Cat, Skara, and Amelia back home.

Once again, another reminder of her lost friend and her injured friends. Thus fueling her need to avenge them.

"Time to find out where Spider-Girl swings." Boscha muttered as she finished the bagel, cleaning her mouth with a napkin and throwing it away.

Entering the civic center, Boscha got her phone out and looked at current news articles, if she was going to be anywhere, it would be there.

"Just in case I can't learn anything here." Boscha said as she walked up to the desk. "Hello?"

"Oh, hello ma'am. Welcome the NYC Civic Center. How may I help you today?" The person asked Boscha.

"Hi, kind of new in the city. Think you can give me something to help me find my way around?" Boscha said.

"Oh, a tourist! I have just the thing for you." The woman said as she grabbed a brochure for Boscha and handed it to her.

"Thanks." She said.

"You're welcome, is there anything else I can help you with?" The woman asked.

"Well...do you know where I can find, Spider-Girl?" Boscha asked, putting the brochure in her pocket. "I'm...sort of a fan."

"Oh, I see." the clerk said with a grin, "She's pretty elusive, but you might be able to see her swinging around if you head to a busy area."

"How busy are we talking?" Boscha asked.

Suddenly police sirens were heard outside of the civic center, making everyone turn to it as police cars drove by.

"That busy." The woman said.

"I see. Thank you!" Boscha said as she ran out of the civic center and chased after the police cars.

'This might be my only chance to meet Spider-Girl.' Boscha thought.

-10 minutes later-

Boscha arrived at the scene to see a bank robbery in progress by some guy in a green suit with armor and wide metal gauntlets. He held his hands out and shot green shockwaves from his hands, blasting away 3 police cruisers!

'How is he doing that?!' Boscha thought before using Soul Perception to look at his soul.

If he's a Kishen egg, Boscha would need to step in and stop him before he kills someone. Weapon partner or not.

Examining his soul, she didn't see anything that indicates he's a kishen or slowly becoming a kishen.

All she saw was they he was a greedy human soul, that would do nearly anything for what he wanted.

"Yeehaw! You can't stop the Shocker, pigs!" the man shouted, blasting more shockwaves at the police.

And he's apparently a cowboy?

'And I thought this was the city, not the country.' Boscha thought.

That's when someone landed on the wall behind him.

"Hi, Herman." Spider-Girl said, grinning under her mask.

"Spider-Girl?!" Shocker/Herman shouted, turning to her.

"Spider-Girl?" Boscha said in surprise, turning to her as well.

"Hey, bud. I missed you, it was so lonely when you were in jail, and Vulture isn't as fun to talk to." Spider-Girl said.

Shocker fired a shockwave at her, but she just flipped off the wall and landed on the ground.

"Since you missed me so much, how about we make up for lost time?!" Shocker shouted before firing more shockwaves!

Spider-Girl dodged more of his attacks with flips before she jumped forward and kicked Shocker back into the bank.

"Let's take this reunion inside, shall we?" She quipped before running after him.

'Holy shit.' Boscha thought, in awe of what she just saw between a seemingly normal humans(?).

Boscha could hear the sirens of more police heading closing off the, making her jolt and shake her head before she did something stupid.

"I gotta get closer!" Boscha said before running towards the bank to watch the fight.

She managed to get in before more cops arrived to the scene.

Inside of the bank, Boscha ducked behind a partially destroyed teller desk and peak over to watch the continued fight.

"I'm gonna make you pay for that!" Shocker shouted as his gauntlets vibrated wildly.

Once again, Boscha used her Soul Perception to see what might be there inside of their three souls.

'Wait... three?' Boscha thought, rubbing her eyes before looking again.

Boscha saw that Spider-Girl had two souls insider of her body instead of one, but that shouldn't be possible...unless...

'That suit is a full body weapon?!' Boscha thought in shock, having never seen a weapon person like this before.

Back in the fight, Spider-Girl shot a web at Shocker's mask.

"GAH!" He let out, trying to pull it off.

'Hit him now, Luz!' Amity said to Luz.

'Gladly!' Luz thought as she rushed forward, combing Shocker with punches and kicks.

"You know, it really is "shocking" how determined you are to rob banks." Spider-Girl quipped, still landing hit after hit.

Blocking one of them, Shocker threw a punch and blasted Spider-Girl back with a shockwave! Crashing into a wall.

"And it's annoying how mouthy you are!" He shouted as he got the webs off his face.

"What can I say? It's part of my charm." Spider-Girl said as she pulled herself off the wall.

'What did I say about taking hits?' Amity scolded.

'That you'd take control is I played around too much?' Luz thought.

'Yes!' Amity said, 'Now if you don't stop, we'll be having a long talk later.'

'And after?' Luz thought with some hope.

'You spend the night without a cuddle buddy. Now get your ass in gear, hero!' Amity shouted at Luz.

From Boscha's Soul Perception, she could see them arguing before coming to an agreement.

Spider-Girl jumped in the air, before firing two webs at Shocker and doing a slingshot type move at him.

"Not this time!" Shocker said as he crossed his arms, making a shockwave shield in front of himself.

'Amity! Little help!' Luz thought panic as she couldn't stop.

'On it!' Amity said, sending two tendrils at Shocker.

The tendrils moved around the shockwave shield and grabbed shocker's arm!

"What the?!" He said before they pulled apart, dropping the shield! "He-"

BAM!

Spider-Girl kicked him in the face and into the floor as the tendrils pulled back.

"Sorry, Shocky. I forgot I could do that." She said cheekily.

She then fired webs to keep him on the ground.

'This is almost too easy.' Luz thought arrogantly.

'Take his shock gauntlets before he breaks out AGAIN!' Amity scolded her, remembering the LAST time Luz was over confident.

"Oh right! Sorry!" Spider-Girl said as she quickly grabbed the gauntlets and pulled them from Shocker's hands. "And I think the police will be happy to have these back in their evidence locker."

'Or maybe I could use those on Venom.' Boscha thought before heading the police running in.

They looked ready to help but saw the Spider-Girl had handled it like normal.

"Morning, boys in blue." Spider-Girl said, gesturing to Shocked. "Think this guy belongs to you."

"Thanks, Spider-Girl, but if you keep doing this, you might put us out of a job." A policeman said.

"Oh I would never do that. New York's boys in blue have been around longer than me. The city still needs you." Spider-Girl said, handing the gauntlets to them. "I could never replace you guys. But, when it comes to these kinds of guys, it doesn't hurt to have a little help."

"Well, I can't argue there, Spidey." The policeman said as he saw his fellow officers pick up Shocker.

"Well, until next time, officer." Spider-Girl said as she made her way out.

Boscha had to wait until the police were distracted before she quickly sneaked out of the bank.

'That was surprising, even more than I thought it would be.' Boscha thought as she shut off her Soul Perception. 'I expected a lot of things but I never expected Spider-Girl to be a meister and her suit to be a new type of weapon.'

She figured that they must not understand some of their own abilities as they seemed to figure it out theirselves. And since the only known meister and weapon academy in the world is the DWMA, which they did not attend, that meant they would be in need some someone to teach them.

'This suddenly got very easy.' Boscha thought, knowing what their souls looked like now.

Tracking them down and talking to them would be so much easier now but what Boscha had in mind to talk about, besides Venom of course, could be difficult to sell.
