Jordyn's touch of Draven caused the other teenager to flinch backwards towards her. On her end, Jordyn's sense of touch flared up more than usual, like it had finally found a frequency and trying to transmit. That lasted for less than a moment with her pulling away and Draven himself stumbling backwards. He wordlessly stared at Jordyn, breathing through his mouth, and followed her line of sight.

Meanwhile, Imani would see Spider-Man jumping from roof to roof, heading deeper into Brooklyn before coming to a stop on a roof top across the street from the three, standing on the edge of a building, and peering around. He was looking for something, seemingly on the nearby streets.
 
Imani glanced towards Draven and grew more worried about his health. She hurried towards Spider-Man and thought about what she would tell him involving Draven's condition. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she noticed Spider-Man peering down and looking for something on the nearby streets. Imani was careful not to distract him and wondered how she would get his attention. She dashed closer, reaching the side of the building Spider-Man perched on, peeking around the corner to see if she could spot what he was looking for. She looked up, seeing Spider-Man high up in the building.

How am I going to grab his attention? He sure looks busy... Ohhh, but that Junior from my school looks like he's in pain. I... I think Spider-Man can help him. Imani thought. Hang on, his Spidy-Senses should alert him I'm here, right? 

"Psst! Hey! Mr. Spider-man!" Imani said in a loud whisper, hoping he would hear her. She stayed behind the building while she called to him. "I need your help Mr. Spider-Man! One of the older kids isn't feeling good!"
 
Jordyn snapped out of her trance-like stare as she watched Imani run off. She wanted to call her back, but before she even turned her head to respond, the girl was already on the other side of the street. There was an audible exhale from her nose.

"Geez she's fast..." Unsure whether to follow her from close behind or stay with Draven, Jordyn pondered what to do while wondering if Spider-Man could even do much for Draven physically. She also wondered why they could spot Spider-Man but as far as she knew, the one named Armor wasn't following behind him. Was he out alone for the night?

Jordyn reached out but remembered the weird feeling she got last time she touched Draven, so she just let her hands hover near him awkwardly. "I'll just stay here until she comes back with Spider-Man, alright? Let's sit you back down on the bench."
 
Draven looked to Jordyn's hands hovering near him with a great deal of apprehension, but he nodded in response to her words. He slowly shuffled away from her with small steps, sitting down on the bench, and occasionally closing his eyes and twisting his head like a loud ringing was filling his ears.

"Spider-, Spider-Man?" He asked, struggling to speak. "Why does he, just keep showing up recently?" He added with a pained expression.

Imani's peek around the side of the building would reveal a road that she knew led to a part of Brooklyn with several apartment buildings in a proximity of each other. As for the wall-crawler himself, he stood up and leaned backwards when Imani started to speak, before simply back flipping and landing on the wall, hanging on by a hand attached to the building's wall above her.

"Kid, I really don't have much room for distraction right now, I'm kind of... Wait, kid not feeling too good? Why does that sound like a bad internet reaction image?" The green optics glanced from Imani to the way she had been looking before hand before he sighed and dropped down, landing at her side.

"Alright kid, show me where the other kid's at. What I'm doing can wait, anyways."
 
"Oh! Uhh, yeah! Follow me," Imani's cheeks tinted red when she was in front of her favorite superhero. She quickly lead Spider-Man to Draven and Jordyn, her expression turning from that of a fangirl to worried for Draven. "I don't know what's wrong with him... Maybe he needs some rest. Please help him out, Mr. Spider-Man."

Imani stepped out of the way so Spider-Man can examine Draven. She kept her eyes wide open, not being very fond of being out so late. Her senses kept her on edge, constantly picking up little things such as flickering lights or the soft tingle of the flowing wind. It was unusual for her but she thought nothing of it, assuming it was just her nerves acting up.

Sheesh, I need to relax, I'm literally freaking out about every little thing happening... Maybe it's the side effects of some medication I took? Nah, I think I'm just tensed up. A nice long bubble bath will fix this up...
 
Jordyn leaned against the pole of a streetlamp that was next to the bench, stuffing her hands into her jacket's pocket uncomfortably. Did it shrink in the wash?

She made a passive sniffing noise with a sigh. "Hell if I know, man. Next time a celebrity shows up at our school, I'm gonna skip." Jordyn quickly shut her mouth once she saw Imani come back with Spider-Man.

"Speaking of..." She cleared her throat nervously. "How's it hangin, Spider-Man? Usually don't see people jumpin' around this time of night. Hope you don't mind." Her voice was still rather quiet so she jabbed her thumb towards Draven on the bench indicating he was the one needing the most help. The other hand rubbed at the back of her neck as though she was trying to find an itch.
 
(This post has been a long while in the making, and I admit it's mostly a cutscene between Draven and Spider-Man, heavily influenced by the previous posts.)

Spider-Man followed after Imani as they crossed the street. Green optics glancing around as the two walked, paying attention to something outside of view, something unseen. The green optics, in the same manner as the original white lenses, were zooming in and out quite a bit. The red and blue armored suit was different from the comic Imani had been given. Despite the suit being metallic, it moved as easily and simply as he was drawn in the comics, giving truth to fiction. Though this suit looked a lot sturdier than what he had in the comics.

Meanwhile, Draven nodded in response to Jordyn's comment, barely getting out another sentence through the pain coursing in his head.

"C-completely, a-agreed." He stated..

Meanwhile, Imani and Spider-Man returned, moving onto the scene. Spider-Man listened to both of the girl's comments to him, perking his head up.

"Don't worry kid. Parker Industries tech includes sensors in my mask, which handily includes the ability to diagnose injuries in real time. Helps when deciding who needs trauma webs in a bad situation." Spider-Man replied to Imani's request for aid. From the loose body movement and chipper voice, there was a good chance of a confident smile under that mask. He then looked to Jordyn after she addressed him.

"It's the dead of night, but you all came from the hospital after Dr. Petronov's machine exploded. Ash, Ash, Ash... You fool." He muttered the last part to himself, but still loudly enough for everyone to hear. "So look, I'm not going to worry about you when I have a Brit to fry. Just try to get home soon, okay? Just because New York's crawling with super heroes doesn't mean someone's out here to save you at any given point. Especially this late. Black Cat, maybe. Unless you get assaulted in front of a police station." He replied to her before going and standing in front of Draven, looking over the teen. Draven was sitting on the bench, staring up at Spider-Man, face taunt and eyes wide, entire body tightening up. Meanwhile Spider-Man stood still and not moving except for his head and optics, gazing over Draven.

"W-what, are you d-doing?" Draven asked.

"Checking out your Twitter. Kidding. Standard injury scan, I need a moment longer. Okay, alright, hm. Accelerated heart rate, quickened breathing, increased sweat excretion, pupil dilation, entire body tensed up like a scared cat, small pain movements... Suggested diagnosis, sensory shock." He stated before glancing away from Draven. "Something occurred that caused your nervous system to take in too much information at once. Some kind of input that messed with your system, but wasn't outright toxic like a psychic attack or sonic scream. This thing happens..." He looked back to Draven. "With fair regularity as you're growing up. Just get home, get some rest, and enjoy the fact you're off school tomorrow. I, I need to go. Right now." He walked off, before breaking into a run, heading across the street and back up onto the building Imani had found him on. As Spider-Man left, Draven forced himself up off the bench, stumbling after Spider-Man.

"He knows something about Dr. Petronov and that demonstration, and he's hiding it! I say, we chase after him!"

(Note. You don't have to chase after Spider-Man. The story will continue on based on your selected actions. But as the GM, I'm saying it's entirely possible to chase after Spider-Man. Stress triggers particular reactions.)
 
Imani remained silent throughout Spider-Man's evaluation of Draven and seemed to occasionally glance at the Superhero, no doubt blushing. As Spider-Man spoke, she pondered about his words and the truth behind them. It struck her as a hard truth that not every Superhero will be there when you need them. She frowned at the thought and felt as if she needed to better herself instead of running for help as she always wanted to do. She was distracted for a little while until Spider-Man ran off and Draven tried to chase after him before stumbling. Her face turned to worry, bot for his condition but for his crazy idea. Deep down, she wanted to agree with him but was too nervous to speak up about it.

"B-But you should get some rest! You don't look like you can chase after anything," Imani said in a low voice, moving up to his side. "Then again... maybe chasing after him to find out about Mr. Petronov and the incident doesn't sound like a bad idea. I would love to know what really happened..."

Imani turned to face the direction of where Spide-Man ran off to. 

"But how do you suppose we trail after him? I don't think we can run up walls or fire webs and have spidey senses. We'd have to throw ourselves off the rooftops to catch him." Imani paused before answering her own question. "Errm, maybe running after him on the ground is the better option here..."
