Miles - Spider-Sense detects a villain attacking S.H.E.I.L.D.

After school, though, just as I start walking back to the dorm, that’s when things get interesting. I’m scrolling through my phone, minding my business with my backpack slung over one shoulder, when a faint tingling starts at the back of my neck, so faint it feels like a bug is crawling on me. I swat at it, but my hand comes away clean. The tingling gets stronger and creeps up over my skull and my ears, and even up to my temples.

What is that?

And then I hear, from the other side of the pounding headphones over my ears, shrieks, screams, gasps of confusion.

I slide my headphones off and turn toward the sound—dozens of people have stopped on the sidewalk around me and across the street. All are looking up and diagonally across the block at the towering silver building that is the highly secured S.H.I.E.L.D. Facility of Brooklyn. A few alarmed spectators even point up at the building in horror. I step forward and follow their attention to the sight of what looks like a gigantic pigeon—and I mean a gigantic pigeon, the size of a minivan—scaling vertically up the side of the building.
