[QUOTE="jkason, post: 6147534, member: 2710"] Grid grimaces as Spyder makes short work of his attempt to trap him. Between his skill and power level, the young man realized he'd gotten complacent. It was going to take a much more concerted effort than he was used to if he wanted out of this mess in one piece. Every hacker had a weak spot in his code. Grid just had to find Spyder's before he found Grid's. But first thing's first: as the webbing shot forward, Grid countered. His 'armor' flashed with fire a moment, burning away the strands as they tried to ensnare him. He glanced to Genie a moment, conflicted. He decided they didn't need to move to work together, but they could definitely use more targets to draw Spyder's fire. [color=orange]"Fun fact.
