Tony checked his chronometer, but he wasn't running late.  "Wait a second... who is Spider-Man fighting?  Whomever it is, they've found a way around my satellites."  Tony killed his active scans and shunted an extra boost of power to his flight systems, kicking in an extra boost of speed.  (Sprinting, Flight, 80 mph)  Tony laughed to himself, "First, I'll help the web-crawler; second, I'll find out what they're using to avoid detection; third, I'll patent it!  Another win for Stark Enterprises."Initiative Roll: 1 (die) + 8 (mod) = 9</blockquote>
