[ psl ] a day in the life

Gwen Stacy likes to pride herself in being the best girlfriend in the world.

Or at least on this side of New York City, where she is currently leaving her Oscorp internship for the day. She hasn't been deterred in the least from continuing her work term, preferring to go on as though her mentor hadn't just turned into a giant lizard only a little more than a month ago.

In fact, maybe it's even more important that she does continue her work at Oscorp - so that she can keep an eye on things for Spider-Man, and so she can find a new mentor, someone else to give her a glowing reference letter and recommendation to whatever school she wants to go to after the year ends.

That's something she hasn't quite made a decision about. Before Peter, she considered Oxford and Cambridge, but things are a little different now. It's not a bad thing but her plans now require a little more care and a little less impulse.

In any case, she's on her way to the subway station when she passes a TV playing (loudly) in a cafe-diner announcing the latest exploits of her (she'll never grow tired of the thought) boyfriend webslinging across the rooftops in pursuit of some new chaos-mongering culprit.

"Increased sightings of Spider-Man continue to bring up the question of police authority over the protection and well-being of New York's citizens. The opinions are split, with those who believe in the masked arachnid and those who think he's more of a danger to the city than what he claims to be.

"But is he a hero or a menace?

"More after this short break."

Gwen rolls her eyes, and continues on when she hears the familiar sound of sirens. A fleet of police cars suddenly wail by at mach speed, whipping the interested heads of random passersby.

Well, where there are sirens, Spider-Man is sure to be too.

She half-considers going home anyway; after all, she's got a lot of work to do ... but Peter's been doing a lot more people-saving than studying lately, and she's allowed to be concerned.

She might be able to help him a little, from the outside of course, and leave the rest to the police. That is what they're there for.

She bites her bottom lip and speeds up her pace, following the sirens.
