     “So that was a bust,” Peter says flopping onto his bed, “We aren’t any closer to finding their lair.”

     “I mean we did stop them from robbing the DODC,” Eli says leaning against the wall.

     “Yeah, but I was hoping that DC would be the end,” Peter admits.

     “But it wasn’t, so we keep going,” Shuri says, “We’ll track down any leads we can find and stop them.”

     “Yeah!” Kate exclaims, “Birdman’s going down!”

     “Exactly, we stopped him once, we’ll do it again,” Harley says determined.

     “But where are we gonna get leads?” Peter asks, “We’ve exhausted all our options.”

     “Not all of them,” Shuri says grinning, “Harley, grab your computer, I want to check something in Peter’s suit.”  Harley does as she asks and once again, they’ve once again pulled up the programming.

     “What are you looking for?” Harley asks as Shuri peers over his shoulder.

     “Look for any sort of video files,” she replies, “There,” she suddenly says pointing at the screen, “The Baby Monitor Protocol?”

     “Tony sure does love his names?” Harley chuckles before clicking on it, “And jackpot.”

     “What is it?” Kate asks moving to peer at the screen as well.

     “The suit’s been taking video this whole time,” Shuri explains, “So now we just to find the one from the night that Peter saw the weapons dealers for the first time.”

     “Oh, smart thinking,” Kate says.

     “Let’s see, it was last Friday…” Harley mutters scrolling through the files, “Here we go.”

     “Hey everyone, yeah, kickass party,” Peter’s voice echoes from the computer, “Hey Liz…”

     “It’s not that one!” Peter shouts embarrassed, “Keep going!”

     “It is I, Thor, son of Odin!”

     “That’s definitely not it,” Peter says rolling over onto his stomach, “Come on Harley, quit messing around.”

     “Aw Peter, but your impressions are so good,” Eli jokes from his new spot around the screen.  Peter just groans and buries his head into the pillows.

     “I got it for real this time,” Harley says, “And…there you go.”

     Peter risks looking up from the pillows and sees that Harley has the correct footage up, finally.  “I’m running them through the criminal database now,” Shuri says holding out her kimoyo beads, “Nothing on those two, but the guy on the left is Aaron Davis.  He’s 37 and he has an address in Queens.”

     “Nice,” Peter says grabbing his suit, “Lets go ask him some questions.”

     “Wait,” Shuri says, “I want to be able to access your camera.  Let me just grab something from my room.”

     “How’s it working?” Peter asks as he clings to the outside of the ferry.

     “Perfect, I can see everything you see,” Shuri replies from her room in Stark Tower.

     “Nice, you can be like my guy in the chair, er, guys in the chair, people in the chairs?” Peter mutters.
