Gwen, Jessica, and Miguel arrived at headquarters and everything was still for a moment. A few other Spider-people turned their heads, nodded in acknowledgment, and then went on with their lives. It was so still...
And then Gwen's neck jerked.
"Fuck!" she shouted involuntarily, her body twitching beyond her control. Jessica and Miguel looked at her in alarm.
"Is she glitching?" Jessica asked. Miguel rolled his eyes.
"This isn't glitching" he told her. "She probably just wants attention" he added. With that, he walked away to brood. Jessica rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the twitching teenager, who had lowered herself to the ground to minimize damage.
"Fuck you! Whore!"
"Excuse me?" Jessica said with a raised eyebrow.
"Sor- Haha! Cunt! Fuck you!- Sorry, I'm sorry" Gwen managed, tears forming in her eyes because she just lost her home, she couldn't deal with losing these people as well. Not because of this. "I'm sorry, I- Cunt! Fuck you! Fucking whore!- I have To- Haha!"
"Tourette's?" Jessica asked, a warm smile on her face. Gwen nodded, which set off another string of tics that left her convulsing on the floor as though she was having a seizure. Then she glitched, groaning out in agony as she did so. Jessica quickly found a day pass and slipped it on the girl's wrist.
"Sorry" Gwen muttered out in exhaustion as her hands jolted up, middle fingers on full display. She was suddenly really glad she was out of webs. "Sorry, I promise I- Fuck you! Haha! Loser! Fucking whore!- I normally have- Fuck off!- It's normally not this- Loser!- Bad"
"It's okay" Jessica said. A few Spiders had begun to stare at the twitching and convulsing girl, but they said nothing. "There's a few others like you. You're not the only one"
"Sorry"
"Stop apologizing" the woman told her. "You need rest" she clapped her hands together. "Whenever your tics let up, we'll find you a place to sleep, okay?"
"Thank you" Gwen said, whining out slightly as her neck jerked again. "For- Haha! Fuck you! Haha!- For everything"
"Don't mention it"
