Musical Escapades

I’m bringing sexy back...

The song is belted out with passion. The singer doesn't seem to notice everyone is looking at her as she moves up the sidewalk. She is lost in the music.

Them other boys don’t know how to act
I think it’s special, what’s behind your back?
so turn around and I’ll pick up the slack.She-Hulk is in all her green glory,

"Well, if your mood is any indication, Kermit the Frog is a damn liar. How ya doin', Jen?"

Spider-Man drops into view, hanging upside-down from a webline, apparently stopping at the same hot dog stand for a midday snack.

[marvel_citizens]

"Spidey! Talk about bringing sexy back." She'd grab him and hug him but she manages to restrain herself. Part of that is because it would interrupt her groove. She does pull out the earplugs, only managing to increase the volume for anyone else in the area.

"I'm doing great." She hasn't really been active with the Avengers, having taken a break. It seems to have helped as she's back to her old self again. "And being green isn't that bad. Well, most of the time. It's being puny and pinkish-tinged that's tough." She gives him a wink.

[webslingah]

"I hear you. Glad to see you're up and about - heard you had a rough time for a little while there."

He gracefully flips over, releasing the webline, and landing on his feet by the hot dog cart. "Give me the usual, Jimmy."

[marvel_citizens]

That earns a shrug of the shoulders and a dismissive wave of her hand.

Jimmy passes over her hotdogs, saving her from any explanations as she takes the pile of weiners in one hand. Sure, some people might find everything on a hotdog a bit much (relish doesn't go so well with chili normally) but Shulkie lets out a soft noise of appreciation. The Coke is left sitting on the corner of the cart as she picks up the first dog, taking a big bite and rolling her eyes at the sublime taste. Only after she swallows does she speak.

"Jimmy has the best dogs in town." She looks at Spidey with a tilt of her head. "So does this mean we get to see the man behind the mask while you eat or do you run off into an alley and gobble it down when no one is looking? Because that isn't good for the digestion. And I bet you're a cutie pie under there."

[webslingah]

One hand pulls the mask up halfway as he receives his pair of hotdogs, and hands over a few bills from a thin pocket hidden in the costume.

"I'm afraid this is all you get, Jen - can't take any chances. Lousy photographers are everywhere. Parasites, all of 'em."

There's a hint of a grin as he begins to eat.

[hulksgonewild]

She doesn't like to think of photographers. Particularly the unscrupulous ones, like the one that took certain pictures of her when she was with the Fantastic Four. It makes her want to break them. Not their cameras--them.

Shulkie finishes off her first dog, tossing the cardboard wrap thing into the nearby trash. She brings up the second. Hesitating, she looks over Spidey. "Nice kisser. But you have a little mustard." That game always just ends up with the person licking repeatedly and never finding it so she reaches out to wipe off the mustard then sucks the drop off her fingertip. "All better. Wouldn't want it to stain the mask." Suuure that's why.

[webslingah]

"Uh.. thanks." Under the mask, he blinks, at a loss for quips.

Briefly.

"Yeah, this thing is hand-wash only, so I like to try and keep it clean. I bet mustard's not as hard to get out as blood, though."

[hulksgonewild]

"I think you can use seltzer water for both actually," Shulkie says, acting like nothing just happened. Nice to see the spider at a loss for words once. Point for her. She's smirking but it's hard to tell why. Well, she hopes it is. She takes another big bite of hotdog. It's washed down with a sip of Coke. "So what brings you to this side of town? Jimmy's dogs or onto something?"

[webslingah]

"Best hot dogs in town. And when you can swing anywhere in town, you want to get the best. Besides, Jimmy here knows not to believe what he reads in the Bugle."

[hulksgonewild]

Shulkie actually bites her tongue to behave. She can do it sometimes. Otherwise the swinger jokes will start.

"Jimmy's a wise man," she says, giving a wink to the vendor who just grins and shakes his head at her. He's apparently used to her antics. She turns her attention to her fellow hero. "So what's going on with you anyway? Still doing the solo thing?" She's considering heading back to the Avengers if they will want her back. Quickly she finishes off the second dog, starting in on the third.

[webslingah]

"So far, though I did help out on one little Avengers thing. Crazy schism within AIM, giant heads butting heads, the usual. How about you?"

He's just finished his first hot dog, and begins the second.

[hulksgonewild]

The third dog is gone. Fourth started. She quickly swallows, again washing it down with soda. "Giant heads." MODOK? But he's the only giant head she remembers. There are more of them? "Damn, sounds like I missed a fun party

[webslingah]

"Yes, everything appears to be in its proper place." Spider-Man chuckles. "And that gamma-metabolism seems to be keeping everything the proper size, too, despite the half-dozen hot dogs."

"So what do you think about this new underage superhero thing?"

[hulksgonewild]

"You act like that's a lot. I can eat a good dozen or so when I'm hungry," Shulkie points out, at least slowing down now that the edge is off her snack-attack

[webslingah]

"Blind eye? To moi? Those must've been waterguns the NYPD was pointing at me the other day.."

"I don't know about an agenda, but Captain America's got some strong feelings on the subject."

[hulksgonewild]

"You know what I mean, bug-boy," Shulkie says with a chuckle. "Sure some of them are a little hyper but there's a lot of them that support and help us out too. Even when we aren't UN sanctioned." Such as her when she isn't with the Avengers. "Or maybe I just have a larger-than-life appeal." She smirks a little, knowing what usually appeals.

At the mention of Cap, she quickly swallows another bite of hotdog. "Oh? I think I can guess which way he leans but what do you know of the boy scout's opinions?"
