Avenging Spider-Man #9
Carol Danvers has agreed to fly Peter Parker to Boston to visit his Aunt May.[1] Carol intends on taking Peter in an older airplane and Peter instantly becomes nervous when the door handle falls off the plane. Peter’s mind still hasn’t been put at ease when they take to the air. Carol is trying to calm Peter down by getting him to tell her something about himself that nobody knows when, suddenly, she sees a young girl rocketing toward them on a jetpack.
They narrowly avoid impact and as the pair change into costume, Captain Marvel tells Spider-Man to climb onto the top of the plane while she glides under the girl so he can grab her. Spider-Man succeeds in grabbing the young woman. When he tries to find out who she is, the girl tells him that she doesn’t have a name yet and is still figuring it out. That’s when Captain Marvel spots a missile coming their way and takes evasive manoeuvres to evade it. The missiles are being fired from the Zakim Bridge by someone in a cybernetic suit of armor. As Captain Marvel reports to air traffic control and tries to get permission to land she tries her best to avoid the oncoming missiles while Spider-Man and their mysterious passenger cling to life on the wing. This nameless girl tells them that she is being hunted by agents of Blackbird Security after she robbed a bank.
Ultimately, the wing of Carol’s plane gets clipped, forcing Spider-Man to grab their mystery passenger and leap onto on of the Zakim Bridge spires. Captain Marvel then makes an emergency landing on the bridge and then attacks the operative from Blackbird Security. The police eventually arrive on the scene and tries to calm everyone down, explaining that Blackbird has been subcontracted out to the city of Boston by the United States government. By this time, Spider-Man has come to start calling the young girl Robin Hood since she keeps on going on about stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. This inspires the strange youth to call herself Robyn Hood.
The agent from Blackbird, meanwhile, continues acting aggressively because he wants the bonus he will get for capturing Robyn Hood. Captain Marvel tries to keep the peace, but things take a turn when the agent from Blackbird fires a shot that hits the girl. Miraculously she shrugs off the blow and responds by suddenly increasing in size. That’s when more Blackbird agents arrive and order everyone to stand down or die.
