Gwen Stacy	As much fun as Gwen has battling The Ringer and then this week with exploding mutant slime moles and Deadpool / Spider-Man teamups.... frankly there are a few things that are still bugging Gwen about her recent adventures. Ninjas. The Punisher is pretty hard to find when it comes down to it, the whole wanted fugitive and vigilante with a body count and more weapons violations than anyone else. Probably guiness world book worthy. The FED Though that was there though, that is easier right. Having dinner with her dad. Borrowing his laptop while he is doing dishes. Finding out where Agent Garrett is operating out of office wise. She figures she shouldn't show up at his office though, what with him helping the Punisher. So Ninja Stealth Ghost Spider. For the record she is not Ninja or Stealthy but on the bright side people don't look up very much. So Gwen has been following Cody when he left work, in costume, swinging at severe heights, hoping maybe he eventually stops somewhere she can confront him about Ninjas.
Nemean	For what it's worth, Cody hasn't really been able to talk to his superiors about ninjas, so he's been trying his best to keep his head down. The last few times he's gone to them, he's been met with a resounding 'No' and then gone and done the thing anyway, having to keep his actions on the down low. Because of this he's been having clandestine meetings with vigilantes and others. Right now he's headed back to the alleyway where he ran into Wonder Woman and Pippi, to try to gather any more evidence from there that he might have missed because of all the chaos that unfolded. He finally stops his car and gets out, taking a moment to look around before crossing the street towards the alley.
Alopex	It was an alley that Alopex had expected to come back to on occasion. It was likely she'd try to check on Pippi when given the chance. Today, however, it seemed that the person she was going to run into was an FBI agent she had run into on previous occasions. Rather than surprise the agent, the fox is sitting atop a van, offering a wave, as he ventures into the alley way. "Good day, Agent Garrett. What brings you here?"
Gwen Stacy	Gwen thwips and swings over onto one of the buildings after watching the Agent walk into the Alleyway. She leans over one of the rooftops small retaining walls and peers down into the Alley. Okay Gwen, that is not something you see every day. Is it a costume though, armor, or actually a whole lot of white fur. This is a job for Ninja Spider, which again she is not nearly as sneaky or stealthy as she thinks. Carefully though Gwen creeps down the wall head down, damn spidercrawling, to get a better look at Alopex and hear their conversation.
Nemean	"Coming to check on our new friend, or..Well I don't know if friend is the right word, but she seemed scared and also able to punch a truck in half so I'd really like to keep tabs on her, is all." He replies to Alopex, "I assume that's what you're doing here too, yes? Or do you like to just hang out in alleyways and brood? I always figured that was more of a rooftop gargoyle thing." He pulls out his notepad and flips a few pages, "Plus my intel has shown me that the shipment that the Triad are bringing in has been delayed. We figured it might be, since we did sort of bust up their meeting, but this means security may be even tighter when it does finally show."
Alopex	There's an 'Ah,' from Alopex as Cody answers, and then she hops down off of the top of the van, "Yes, I will admit to doing the same thing. Just realize that... when I was in a similar place getting a lot of visitors was something I wouldn't have enjoyed. I'm sure everyone means well, but we should try to give her some space as best we can. I can always let you know if anything comes up, and she has a few of our numbers, so she can reach out if she needs to."     As for Gwen? Either Alopex is unaware of her, or is intentionally not showing signs that she's aware of the spider-person. Even her ears aren't flicking in the wall-crawler's direction. "And yes yes, I know, I should listen to my own advice, I just... have experience with what she's going through. A lot of it.."
Pippi	New friend? Scared? Able to punch a truck in half?     A fair assessment on many grounds. The van parked outside a condemned parking garage, adorned with 'COMING SOON' banners is ancient, rusting, and rolls back and forth on aged shocks when Alopex hops off it -- and then gives another shudder as a scraping sound is heard coming from underneath it.     A pair of amber eyes peer out from the dark, looking at Cody's shoes and Alopex's feet.     And there's a sneeze.
Gwen Stacy	Yup okay that does not seem to be a costume on the Fox .. mmm Ninja maybe. That or hobo drifter. What is the Agent of the FBI doing with a Fox Person. They aren't talking about Ninjas but rather about a scared friend, sounds a bit like super strength. Maybe another metahuman or mutant of some sort. First the Punisher and now this. What is going on. How are Ninjas involved. At that point of the sneeze from under the van Gwen stops wall creeping and the white eyes on Gwen's mask narrow as she squints. Wonder how they do that.
Nemean	The sound of the sneeze gets Cody's attention, and he looks down at his feet, and then back up to Alopex. He motions towards the underside of the van with a hand, and makes a questioning motion. He hasn't noticed Gwen above them yet. If he knew he'd drawn the attention of one of the Spider folks running around, well, at this point he may just add it to the crazy pile. He hopes Alopex gets what he means as he takes a few steps back to give the van some leeway.
Alopex	A .. sneeze? It cleary surprised the fox with how her ears shoot up and her form goes entirely still for a long moment. Cody gets a nod of understanding as she considers her next move. Seems their 'new friend' was home. Not in the van, the fox has now realized. Figures. "Ah, but.. yeah. Like I was saying, better to let them come to us on -their terms- rather than us forcing a greeting, Agent Garrett. I'm sure she knows we don't mean her any harm, but I do not want to make them uncomfortable either, you know?" The fox clearly heard it, but she's going to carry on with part of her advice, at least. If Pippi wants to come out and say hello, she's capable. If she doesn't want to, Alopex won't hold that against her either. The only wild card here is the unknown spider on the wall.
Pippi	And there's a scrabbling sound from beneath the van, and from the dirt and broken pavement beneath comes a dog's head, ears perking up, and then wriggling out from under the van and shaking herself off, Pippi makes an appearance. Rust-red with some white about her face and muzzle, the mutant dog looks back and forth between Cody and Alopex, and then gives a bit of a wave to them, then rubs the back of her head. She gives another snuff of breath, and gives a mumble of: "I won't throw a trash can today. Promise." she states, her ears drawing back and her tail giving a low-powered wag. Her weight shifts from foot to foot, clearly nervous.
Gwen Stacy	Okay and now there is a a human sized dog, is it an irish setter. Hard to say. The conversation seems to indicate it is the car punching variety. Seems nervous though. The only sure thing is that this is not Gwen's fault, her experiment most likely did not produce Fox and Dog people. She kicks off doing a backflip across the alley above everyone and plants herself on the wall a bit farther away, right side up sort of back to the building wall, feet in those aqau slippers planted against it holding her up. Perhaps so it is less scary when she speaks up. There is a cough from up above, and a slow roll of a pause so people have time to look up. "So uhm.. Agent Grant.. I had intended to talk about .. ninjas... but really this is way more interesting." pause "Sorry that sounds bad... oh.. I come in peace?"
Nemean	A voice. From above? And yet something familiar about it. He turns to crane his neck upward, and spots the white Spider costume, "Oh, it's you! The Ghost Spider...Hey, uh.." He looks at Alopex and Pippi, "She's cool. She saved my life..Well along with the Punisher. So don't freak out or anything." He looks back up to Gwen, "You can probably come on down here so we can talk face to..." He pauses for a second, "Face to mask?"
Alopex	Scrabble, dig, scrape.. And then there's Pippi in a bit more light than just a camera flash and the din of lights coming from out on the street. "Ah, that's alright. I imagine you were pretty scared when all of us showed up at the same time. I don't think the one you threw it at holds it against you, so.." The fox pauses, then stalls entirely when someone else shows up.     Today the alley is just full of surprises. First Pippi was actually home, and now there's a spider-... person here too?! C'mon Alopex, you of all creatures should know about looking up! Stupid birds stealing her kills. Grr. Thankfully, Cody is able to vouch for the woman before Alopex gets to defensive just on reflex alone. "Well, as long as you're vouching for her..."
Pippi	A voice from above catches Pippi's attention, and her ears draw up, nose sniffing, a new perosn. Not someone who was in the alley last time, and her head tilts. She rubs the back of her neck, looking between the agent, the fox, and the strangely masked new person before she takes a step back twaords the van, not really sure about Gwen, but appearing to reserve judgement.     "... 'Punisher?'" she does question outloud, looking to Cody before her ears go back, the tail stops wagging, and she draws down a bit.     The bit more light than a camera flash and a dark alley shows that the new mutant dog has a couple of scrapes, and the blue tattoo ink in her left ear's visible as it rises up.
Gwen Stacy	"Oh right. Sorry." and Gwen pushes off just a touch from the wall she is clinging too and drops down into the alley. She looks between the three people, trying to take it all in now.r "No punisher or punishment here right now. All cool. No worries." a nod to Pippi and then she looks thoughtful, damn that mask if surprisingly expressive. The eyes really. "Were you two bit by radioactive dog and foxes... I mean.. I know it sounds really odd when said outloud but the right radiation and chemicals delivered with animal DNA can have a serious mutagenic reaction." she pauses a bit "Trust me I know.. it's a lot to adjust to as well."
Nemean	"He's a guy, uh. A vigilante." Cody replies to Pippi, "He's not as bad as the media makes him out to seem. Which seems to be the case for a lot of vigilantes." He considers what Gwen is saying and then gives her a faint smile, "You know I initially only got a glance at some of the mutants that have been running around...Bear in mind these are a different type of mutant than the ones you probably know about. I don't have all the details but it's part of a big ongoing thing.." He looks at Alopex, "A lot of crazy stuff is going down."
Alopex	Not knowing much about the Punisher, Alopex decides to let Cody explain that one. Once that's done Pex gives a look over to Pippi, "You're safe with these folks, Pippi. I'll make sure of that if I need to, okay?" she had noticed those little bits of body language and just wanted the pup to feel safe among these folks. Even though she's just meeting Gwen, she had heard of these spider-people here and there. None of them came across as horrible unless you were listening to JJJ.     When Gwen asks about Alopex's particular type of mutant, "Ah, no, we aren't like the human sort of mutant. I think there are a couple types. Some are born with it, some have something happen, such as yourself i'm guessing, and then theare the ones like myself and, I'm guessing, Pippi here. We were exposed to a substance called mutagen. I'm not really sure -what- it is, but it can change humans into animalistic creatures, but it can also turn normal animals into something like myself." She looks to Pippi, "I don't want to assume that's what happened to you, but I see a lot of.. similarities in you to when I changed originally."
Pippi	Pippi looks to Gwen, her nose wriggling a moment, then a deeeep breath, nad she apparently decides this person is all right. She also feels somewhat oddly underdressed, looking to Alopex, to Gwen, to Cody, and she glances down to herself, scritching at her neck again, then as the question's posed she gives a soft 'huh?', and then her attention snaps right back to Gwen, glancing between the wallcrawler and the ninja fox.     "Nope. I'm a dog. Then my family didn't come home, an' now I'm this." she replies, and then after a moment to process, she holds out her hand to shake, about chest height to Gwen. Her ears rise up, and she attempts a smile, showing some of her teeth. She's keeping a good chunk of the story out of it.
Gwen Stacy	Gwen looks to Cody. "I wasn't really referring to the x-factor genetics that the mutants who get all the press involves... there is actually a genetic sequence there, normal human evolution as far as I can tell..." she trails off and then nods to Alopex. "Right. I mean.. I was bitten by a radioactive mutagenic spider in a lab accident. It made me..well.. like Spider abilities." a loose shrug. "This is fascinating though.. I've never even heard of anything called mutagen and I'm a biochemist focused on genetics..." Her attention focuses on Pippi and she steps close enough to shake her hand "I am sure you were the best and they didn't want to leave you." and then back to Alopex. "I'd love to learn more... though I am still learning more about my own mutations...
Nemean	"If you're a biochemist, maybe we can find a way to get you a sample of it." Cody says, as he rubs his chin, looking to Alopex for a moment, "Do you know where Shredder keeps his labs? Where he, uh..Changed you?" He asks, "I don't mean to pry, if you don't know that's fine, but uh, to be fair we didn't know any genetic biochemistss prior to just now."
Alopex	It gets Alopex to smile when Pippi steps forward to shake hands with Spider-Gwen. That's a pretty big step that Alopex didn't take for a long time, even as part of the Foot Clan. . . Did she even really feel friendly with anyone while she was in there? She isn't even sure. It was just job after job after job, mm. She mentally shakes the thought, not important right now. Gwen helps to snap her out of the train of thought, "The substance is highly controlled by those that have access to it. I honestly don't know where it comes from, all I know is what it does, and what it did to me." she says to Gwen and Cody both.
Pippi	Pippi looks... really kind of confused. She looks back and forth between the others as she shakes Gwen's hand, and then to Cody as he speaks. Shredder? Labs? She jars a moment at thew ord lab, but she turns back and forth between the trio, and rubs the back of her head as she walks behind Gwen, looking for extra limbs, then comes back to the other side of the grouping.     "I'm not ray-dee-oh-ak-tiv, am I? Is that bad? Does that mean if I bite someone they're going to get fur? Or smell really, really good?" she questions.
Gwen Stacy	Spider-Gwen nods to Alopex and Cody. "Well. If you end up with a sample of it, I would be happy to take a look at it and see what I can figure out." Gwen is definitely human shaped, in very good shape, and no extra arms unless that costume has dimensional properties beyond the ken of humanity. Pippi doesn't trigger her spider-sense so she is at ease with the walking behind her there. "I.. well I would be surprised but that said .. I would have said I would be surprised before I ended up getting spider strength and the ability to crawl on walls and all that." a thoughtful look follows. "If you give me a sample .. like a cheek swab I could find out more for you though?" Belated blink "Who is the Shredder.. that sounds like a codename like The Ringer or Deadpool."
Nemean	"He's...Actually you know this is a good segue back to the original topic. He's the guy in charge of the ninja clan that's running roughshod over New York, Gotham and Metropolis right now." He motions towards Alopex, "She's the one who knows it a lot more than I do, I'm just parroting what she's told me." He offers, "All my attempts to locate files on him and the Foot clan hass been..Less than fruitful."
Alopex	It's Alopex's turn to rub at her neck. Lots of questions, and she has lots of answers, but it's a lot to explain all at once, especially when she's already gone over everything with Agent Garrett not to long ago. She lets Gwen take care of Pippi's question real quick before she considers what else to tell everyone gathered. "Yes. Shredder, also known as Oroku Saki, is exactly as Cody said. Leader of the Foot Clan, a gathering of many underworld elements, some trained in the art of ninjitsu, currently working on corrupting everything they can get a hold of in the tri-state area. His reach has drawn in heroes from Gotham, he keeps criminals from getting locked up for any significant amount of time, and he's responsible for most of the mutants like myself in this area aside from .. a few good ones that aren't me." Nope, still not talking about the turtles. STill too much too early for some folks here.     "I know that's a lot to take in, but Shredder is extremely intelligent, has a lot of resources, and is amassing even more through his efforts in the entire area. Cody has encountered the corruption they've been pressing into law enforcement everywhere. Their reach seems to go everywhere, even into the FBI. It's an issue too big for just a single person.." much as Alopex would -love- to put an end to it all on her own, she knows she can't. "I appreciate everything Cody's been doing, and I have things I want to do as well, but .. well there's another story and I'm not going into it right now, sorry."
Pippi	Pippi quiets a moment at the idea of more lab testing, and moves just a little back, her tail curling a bit as her eyes give a narrow to Gwen, but she talk of ninjas, explaination of The Shredder. She blinks a moment, and appears to weigh things as she glances down, and rubs the back of her head.     "If he's creating others like you..." Pippi trails off, shifting her weight again as she gives a soft 'nngggn' noise.     "So... they are bad people?" she questions.
Gwen Stacy	Okay first off Gwen wants to ruffle Pippi's ears but manages not to. She also doesn't press on the cheek swab. "I don't know if making more people like you two is bad if they are good guys... are they good guys?" a smile "That said... the whole controlling organized crime and corruption of the cops and FBI.. that is super bad.." Gwen frowns "That does explain why the ninjas I handed over to the cop never even got processed or charged... and why a lot of the criminals I have been giving over to the cops keep getting out .. it has been getting worse like that for weeks." she sounds unhappy. "And this.. is all a guy named Shredder's fault and his Foot Clan of Ninjas?" a short pause "I'm in on helping to stop him. We can't let an evil ninja clan conquer New York... and let criminals just run amock."
Nemean	"Most of the mutants I've met have been good guys." Cody says, "Though really it's mostly just these two." He says, "But she told me about others..Though there was that one shark guy working for Shredder so he's probably not a good guy." He muses, thinking to himself a bit, "Oh!" He suddenly remembers something, "Hey Alopex, wait here for a sec." He goes to head back over to his car, opening it up and getting inside for a moment, looking like he's rooting around in the glove box.
Alopex	With all the information said, Alopex expects to have a few questions come up, but Pippi's catches her off guard and even earns the pup a sympathetic smile, "I would call Shredder and the Foot Clan bad people, yes, but that doesn't make all mutants bad, Pippi." She pauses for a long moment, but finally decides to say something. "I was .. he made me too, but I left. I didn't want to be a part of his organization any more so .. I turned on him, attacked him, I grabbed my things before word got out and I ran. It's all I could do." She wonders if this will sound familiar to Pippi without even knowing that the Delta Labs accident a few days earlier.     For Gwen, Pex can only ofer a shrug. "Oh ah, there are at least four that I know are good guys. It's the ones working for The Shredder that aren't. Still, that aside, now that we can't trust law enforcement, Cody here aside, it means people like us, vigilanties and 'heroes', have to work that much harder. We have to deal with the same people over, and over, and over again. I think by getting people back out on the street so quickly, folks like us have to keep dealing with them over and over, possibly trying to wear us down until we can't keep up any more. And in doing so, he makes that many more allies as a result. I'm glad you're willing to work against him, but this isn't a job for any one person. Do what you can, but eventually we'll all have to come together to put an end to all of this."     Cody is given a grin when he refers to her as one of the good ones, "Thank you, Agent Garrett. Considering what I've done in the past, that means a lot," she begins, but when he mentions wanting to show her something, she pauses, waiting to find out just what Cody had to present.
Pippi	Ears go down a moment as Gwen speaks. She shifts her weight again, from side to side before she lets out a breath, and taps her fingers against her sides, feeling antsy as Cody goes to his car, and Alopex speaks, Pippi shuffles a little bit, and she gives a soft breath out, her ears pulling forward and rising up. Her tail swishes slightly.     "Well, I could help?" she states, looking up to the other assorted heroes around her. "I'm pretty good at smellin' things out. I've got a good set of ears." she scratches the back of her left ear.     "Maybe I could help find the files. What do they smell like? I used to track down where the cookies were hidden around the house."     Her tail wags a little faster. "Maybe if they know about who created me, I could findo ut where home is and go back."
Gwen Stacy	Gwen takes all of that in looking between everyone and then she nods to Pippi. ... .. urge to ear scritch so high and inapprops. Resist Gwen. Resist. "Okay so.. I was definitely not planning on taking on an entire clan of evil ninjas.. a mutant shark... and someone named Shredder all by myself." a gesture to Alopex and Pippi "That sounds like something for team work.. because I'll be honest I am still learning how to be a kickass vigilante crime fighter and I am no Ninja warrior." there is a pause "Though I would totes own that show if I went on it."
Nemean	It takes a bit before Cody comes back, but when he does he offers a smartphone to Alopex, "This has unlimited data and I already programmed my number into it. You can reach me any time you need to, and you can use it for internet research or anything else you need to." He says, "I know you might not be able to just walk into a store and buy a phone, so I figured I'd get one for you. It should help us communicate." Turning back to Gwen, he hmms, "I don't suppose you have like a phone number I can throw in my phone if I need to reach you, do you?" He asks, "I mean in case I get that sample, so I can arrange a meet up without you having to stalk me."
Alopex	Having a purpose is what ultimately brought Alopex out of her state of confusion when she became a mutant. Now, given the opportunity to give Pippi the same thing, she's more than willing to answer her question affirmingly. "Well, Pippi, if you want to help, I think you're going to need a little training and a better place to live. So. Since the place I live is .. pretty convenient for these things, how about you stay with me and we can work together on all of that, and I can help you learn how to use what you have to help us out. How about that?" There's a kind smile there, one that she hopes Pippi will find trustworthy enough to follow.     Back to Gwen, "Please.. don't. I trained with them, I know their operations, and unless you are a lot higher-power than you're letting on, I'd really recommend something else. If you want to help here, try doing research on them, scout them out, try to find out what else they are doing, and work against them that way. Death by a thousand cuts will work on them a lot better than one massive attack, now that I think of it."     Of all the things Alopex expected Cody to bring over, files, information she didn't have yet, even something about what was going on in the FBI, but no, it was a bonified smart phone. FOR HER. ".. Cody, thank you," she muses, calling him by his first name for once. "I .. had an idea of how to get one but this works a lot better. I appreciate it, a lot. I'll make sure to send you any information I get a hold of when I get a hold of it."
Pippi	Pippi's looking back and forth between everyone again, but as Pex offers a place to live, she feels her tail give a wag. Her ears prick up, and she shifts her weight again, the tail wagging picking up before she looks between the Spider-Girl, the Fox, and the Agent.     And she gives a smile, and a nod before turning and setting over ot the van -- and at that point, she feels comfortable enough that she goes to lift the van -- caaarefully -- as if she's not quite used to having such power, and as the van tilts back, only pausing when it creeks to its bumper, Pippi reaches underneath it and pulls out some tattered cloth -- and a stuffed bear that has seen far, far better days and needs to urgently see a washing machine. "That's good! Okay, when do we go? Where do we go?" she states, and then takes ouot the burner phone -- and a bag form a local get-n-go convienience store that she tries to one handedly stuff everything into. It's not going to fit.
Gwen Stacy	"Oh hey.. " she then nods "Sure thing. I got a burner phone just for superheroing actually so I could give you two that number no problem." she fishes around in the .. ah so there is a seam in the suit it is just very well concealed and pulls out a thin pay as you go smartphone and there is a flash of pink skin nor carapace or anything. Then Gwen holds it up proudly. "Who wants the number?" turning to show the phones own number. "We should probably just text each other.. fastest way to swap numbers." "Also.. well.. I have as far as I can tell all of Spider-man's powers... so like I can walk off being hit by a car and yeet a garbage truck at someone. Kind of like she lifted that van up a bit but ... more." yeah she said yeet, so what. "Though I should probably sign up for a martial arts class or something..."
Nemean	"Knowing how to fight is more important than just being able to hit hard." Cody says, "I've got training in a few different disciplines and I do MMA fights on the weekends when I'm not working.." He quickly adds the number for that phone to his phone, and then sends it a text from his so she can make sure to add him as a contact. He just puts her entry under Ghost Spider because he thinks that's the coolest nickname she's been given by the media.
Alopex	Alright, Alopex knew Pippi was pretty strong from the other night, but it's really impressive to see the van lifted while the canine grabs all of her belongings. "Oh, haha, well you're just ready to go aren't you?" Alopex is practically beaming at this point. If only she had someone like this when she was new to the world at large. It just feels amazing to give Pippi a hand up that Pex just didn't have. At least not one that didn't have a bladed gauntlet attached to it. "Just a few more moments and I'll show you, Pippi. Let me finish with Agent Garrett and .." she blinks, looking over at the wall-crawler. "What can we call you..?" she asks, but is also fully willing to put their number in her phone. More allies! Woot!     "Knowing how to fight is important, but knowing WHEN to fight is even more important, and that's why I want you all to be careful. The more people that come after the Foot, the more he's going to resist. So, -please- be careful." Something in the back of her mind is worried about just how many people she has tipped off to the Foot, that will start fighting them. It would be clear to Shredder just why so many people are coming his way so quickly. Someone is giving them information, someone that was on the inside. "But thank you, all of you. The more that rise to fight him, the better the chances we can keep our city from falling."
Pippi	Pippi walks back over to the grouping, and she glances at her bag, then up at Alopex, then to Gwen and Cody and then back to her hands and she states: "Well, the van isn't mine... I was just under it to get out of the rain." she replies, her ears going back in embarrassment, and then she produces the burner phone, the little flip phone and she looks at it, looks at everyone else, and then sheepishly puts it into the bag.     She's not adding anyone. "I hit pretty hard." she replies, trying to stay in the conversation when Cody comments, and her tail gives a little bit of a wag.     "I don't mind helping the city. It's a pretty good place. And it's got good people in it." she gives a toothy grin to the assembly.
Gwen Stacy	"Well then it is settled. We will all help the city." a nod to Pippi and then a look to Alopex. "I like Ghost Spider... since SpiderWoman is taken by that Avenger lady." and well she really can't go by Spider-Gwen it would be way to easy to look up biochemists named Gwen or variations and find her family. "The when to fight is when people are in danger or need my help. Don't worry though I won't rush off and get in over my head rashly. I'm not some superherodudebro." a glance to Cody. "No offense... also yeah maybe some MMA training would be good... need something that can account for how fast I am. I'll need to do research." "It was great meeting you three though." after numbers get swapped. "Call me if you need help." and at that point she THWIPS the wall near the roof and starts to climb up. "Take care of the pupper, she seems like real good people."
Nemean	"You got it. I'll reach out to you if I get that sample." He replies, giving her a wave, turning back to Alopex and Pippi, "I'll let you show her to your place. Give me a call if you need me." He says to Pex, though he looks at Pippi's bag, "I got a spare backpack in my car if you want it."
Alopex	"We'll work on making sure those hard hits are well placed, then. Every little bit helps, Pippi. And you're absolutley right, there are plenty of good people in the city, and a lot of them can't defend themselves, and that's why we are here. To make sure they're defended."     "Ghost spider it is, then," Alopex replies to Gwen, tapping a few more things into her phone as a result. Probably putting her name in. "You can call me Alopex, if it hadn't come up already," she points out before nodding at the phone and tucking it away. "Take care of yourself, then. Be safe! Call if you need something!"     Once it's back to just Cody, Pippi, and Pex in the alley again, the fox takes a breath and seems to relax a bit. "Interesting last few weeks, eh Agent Garrett?" she inquires with a smile as she rolls her shoulders, sort of stretching out before the trek back to her home. She's thankful it's Sunday. No classes will make it easy to introduce Pippi to Sensei Winter and explain what is going on. "Hmm, that'd be nice, either way, Cody," she says before glancing aside to Pippi, waiting to see if the gift is accepted.
Pippi	As Ghost-Spider leaves, the smaller canine gives a wave to the retreated wall crawler "Bye! Nice to meet you!" she calls out, and then she lets her shoulders relax. Interesting last couple of days, indeed.     Pippi looks at the bag. And then back up to Cody, and then back to the bag, and rubs the back of her head. "Will I have to carry it in my mouth still, even though I have hands?" she questions, then rubs the back of her head as she looks unsure between the two.
Nemean	"No of course not." Cody replies, "You can use your hands all you want. Hang on." He goes and grabs the backpakc from his car, and hands it to Pippi, "You should be able to fit all your stuff in here with no problem."
Alopex	"No, no you don't, you can carry it however you like, Pippi. You do whatever is comfortable, alright?" Alopex advises as Cody retrieves the pack and brings it back. "It's going to be a bit of a walk, but I know how to get back on street level in a way we shouldn't have any issues," she explains. She considers another moment, then pulls out the phone to text something to Cody. Considering how Gwen got the drop on them earlier, she is not going to say out loud where she's staying. <<You were on the right track, I am staying on the second floor of the Winterfall Dojo. I prefer meeting away from there, just to keep it and its owner safe.>>
Pippi	"I don't mind! I like walks, they were pretty much my second favorite thing." Pippi replies as she stuffs everything in the backpack, and then slings it over her back, wriggling into it. She's at least familiar with the function enough that she straightens up, and glances to Pex and Cody, and gives a bright smile to them both, and shifting back and forth on her feet again, her tail whipping back and forth at this development.
Nemean	Cody glances at his phone, and then nods to Pex, "Thought so." He replies, "You two be safe, keep in touch." He gives them both a wave and then heads back to his car.
Alopex	This has been a great day! Alopex has a phone, new friends, new allies, and just knows this is the start of something great. Maybe, just maybe, it'll be the first domino that ends the Foot Clan once and for all. "Well, Agent Garrett, I think we will be on our way. If you need anything, you know how to reach me. Be safe, alright?" Then to Pippi. "Lets get you to your new home."
