“  blame  you ?  ”    he  snorted ,  tail  arched ,  lime  stinger  poised  to  pump  venom  into  victim  barely  held  at  bay .    he’d  never  been  good  at  self  control .    “  saying  YOU’RE  here  to  help  the  city  is  like  saying  I  believe  it .    we’re  both  full  of  shit .  ”

pull  on  taser  stopped ,  contemplation  crossing  electro’s  face  as  mj  reassured  she  didn’t  want  to  hurt  him .    what  if . . .

“You ever think of a new gimmick? Like maybe electricity isn’t your thing, perhaps you should go for something else.” And here he is, taking hits, dealing damage, kind of bunny-hopping around to try and avoid being electrocuted to hell and back.

+ “ Get back now ! “ The taser instantly came out, finger resting on the trigger, ready to pull it at a moment’s notice.  Whether it would do any good, or merely escalate the situation, Mary Jane didn’t know. But if anything, it made her feel that there was at least something between herself and them.

hands  raised ,  a  faux  concern  that  lifted  brows  and  widened  eyes  washing  over  scarred  face .    biting  back  grin  that  threatened  to  spread ,  maxwell  took  a  single  step  away  from  the  woman .
