Five Minute Break
A daring bank robbery - well, daring in the sense that the idiots carrying it out chose to rob a bank in New York City, which has a per capita superhero population roughly equivalent to the number of Italians in New Jersey - has just been foiled, the money back in the proper hands. Just another day in the life of the friendly neighborhood whatchamacallit.

It seems like he's been running non-stop, lately, despite the aforementioned density of superheroes - but working full-time and holding down a gig with the Avengers doesn't leave him a lot of time for R&R. And things with M.J. were still a teensy bit awkward, with the whole Harry thing.

So Spider-Man sits atop one of the buildings on Central Park West, chowing down on a couple of hot dogs, and enjoying a rare New York breeze that doesn't actually smell like New York.

	Vance was finishing a thesis-research trip to New York when he spotted Spidey. He waved. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Spider-Man peers down to street level, returning the offered wave cheerily - of course, he'd do the same for any passer-by, but this one definitely looks familiar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Spider-Man somehow manages to make that out over the traffic noise, and offers a thumbs-up in response. "Best weather in weeks!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance considers something. Ah, why not? Justice walks up, telekinetically stepping on the air a bit. "Glad to hear it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's a bit better. Spider-Man stuffs the wax paper from his hot dogs back in the brown paper bag he got them in, and nods to Vance as he comes into view. "Mr. Astrovik, how the heck are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, absolutely. I mean, where else can I meet so many interesting aliens with designs on conquering the world? After the Avengers, what else would seem interesting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance laughs. "Well, I'm told there are exciting opportunities in that field in the Nova Corps these days, but Avenging is much less of a commute, and the look suits you better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very true. I've never been a helmet guy. Stylish though they be." Spider-Man wads up his paper bag from lunch, and expertly tosses it from the top of the building into one of the trash cans on the street below. "On the other hand, I could try out for the NBA." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I think we're allowed to use our powers to make our personal lives a little easier, provided that ninety percent of the time, we still use them to punch Galactus in the face. It's in the superhero bylaws." (Reply to this)(Parent)
