	I slowly climbed the few flights of stairs that would lead to my apartment door.  Honestly, I’m surprised that I am even still alive, let alone being able to walk, after what had happened tonight.  Being used as a human battering ram, fighting gods who turn out not to be gods, and a riot that had consumed almost the entirety of Lost Haven.  If I could not do any super-heroics for the next, I don’t know, year, I would be happy.  No, I take that back.  I’ll be happen if I don’t have to done that stupid costume for the rest of my life.  I really don’t like being a human punching bag.

	Then my phone buzzed, signaling that I received a text message.  It was from Felecia and it said “where r u?”  Well, that’s a fair question, since the freaking Goddess of Wisdom dragged me out to Lost Haven.  Next time, I’m being firm and saying no.  God, who am I kidding?  Even if I refuse to do whatever crazy thing she had cooked up next, Athena would just drag me with her anyways.  While I continued to walk up the final flight of stairs to the level where our apartment was located, I sent my roommate a quick text.

	[color=B22222]“Walking up stairs now.  Will be home soon.”[/color]

	Seconds later, I received another text from Felecia.  “Look out.  Ashley is fuming b/c we lied about your spider half.”

	[color=B22222]“How does she know?”[/color]  I responded via a text-message.

	“Was on news and u wearing same costume.  She connected 2 + 2.”  Oh God, I was on national news.  It was probably just coverage on the riots in Lost Haven, but they happened to get some little footage on that 'Greek Temple' situation.  Probably someone with their cell phone got a far off view of what happened.  Heck, I bet you can hardly discern that it was my superheroine alter ego because of the film quality.  Anyways, I’m not too worried about Ashley.  We all have had some type of drama every once in a while over the last four years since we have been in college.  We can get over this too.

	I slid my apartment key into our front door and unlocked it.  I walked in after the door was unlocked and found my two roommates plus Kristin sitting on the couch, watching news coverage on the riots in Lost Haven.  

	However, I was not prepared for what happened next.  Once the door behind be clicked shut, all three of them turned their heads towards me.  I could immediately see the anger seething in Ashley’s face when she saw me, just like a mother-bear attempting to scare of an animal that was threatening her cubs.  She leaped up from the couch, just like a lioness pouncing on its prey, and marched right over towards me (holy cow!  What has Athena done to me!  I’m using Homeric Similes).

	“Aubrey, you lying, big-boobed bitch!  I hope that Icon guy drilled you in your spider &@^$!  And if he didn’t , I hope someone [i]will[/i]”  After she said that, Ashley marched away from me into her private room and slammed the door shut.  Okay, I honestly didn’t want to [i]ever[/i] have that particular image ingrained in my mind.  Not that Icon wasn’t handsome or anything, but I don’t think [i]anyone[/i] was ever supposed to come up with that image.

	“Um…welcome back?”  Felecia tried to lighten up the already tension atmosphere that had descended into our apartment.  “Oh, I almost forgot!  Since not one really knows your identity, Marvel issued a public [i]cease and desist[/i] order against your costumed alter ego.”

	[color=B22222]“What?”[/color]  Me and my big mouth.  Looks like I am never going to be wearing [i]that[/i] costume ever again.  Obviously they probably could not inforce such a statement unless some organization, like whatever organization that Iron Man wannabe works for, arrests me for some strange reason.  But still, was this entirely necessary?  It’s not like I was making any money off of this little ‘gig’.  [color=B22222]“Any other news?”[/color]

	Both Kristin and Felecia both shook their heads, signaling that nothing else really had happened while I was away.  However, Kristin did speak up.

	“Do you really have a spider, um…”

	[color=B22222] “On that note, I’m going to bed.”[/color]
