Summary
The first time Joel sees the new vigilante in the latest issue of The Daily Bugle, he throws it out.
She’s not front page news—not yet, that’ll come once she’s got herself a proper costume and maybe a rogue or two—but they’ve printed her right above his crossword.
This shit should’ve ended when that little Firefly team moved out West, but it appears someone has already filled their place in both the streets and the papers. Right above his crossword. Joel loves his crossword. He hates vigilantes.
or, the origin story of how ellie and joel came to meet.

Summary
That night, he took her one floor down to the old loft apartment and gave her very stern instructions to meet him here this Sunday at ten o’clock in the morning. At first, she made the mistake of asking why in the morning. Then he gave her a very gentle explanation about how these apartments are abandoned, and someone would notice if lights were on in them at night. He softened during the explanation, then he stuck the hard mask right back on when he bit a comment at her asking if she had anywhere better to be.
The truth was, no. Ellie didn’t have anywhere better to be on a Sunday morning. She’s not religious, only going to any services when her foster parents made her, and she usually spends her weekends bumming around the city because anything is better than her too quiet and too empty dorm room.

Summary
Alright. It’s been decided. Tommy asks too many goddamn questions.
“What do you need Gene’s number for?” is his first response when Joel asks him if he still keeps in contact with an old employee of theirs.
The truth is, Joel doesn’t exactly want to explain why he needs Gene’s number because it has to do with the newfound partnership he’s struck up with Spider-Woman, and Tommy wouldn’t approve. Ever since Joel quit this vigilante business, Tommy’s been watching him like a hawk to make sure there’s no relapsing. This doesn’t quite count as relapsing, but it’s probably close enough to it that it’ll still make his little brother worry needlessly.

Summary
The second time they meet for training, Spider-Woman is on time. She swings headfirst into the boarded window and cracks the wood, but she’s on time.
Joel practically jumps out of his skin when she does that. About five seconds after the enormous thud sounds, the roof access door flies open, and she’s cussing him out before she can even see him.
