she blinded me with science!

WHO: OPEN
WHERE: The Heropa Convention Center (that I just made up now)
WHEN: 4/23 and 4/24
WHAT: The Heropa Science and Technology Expo! A two day expo full of networking, demonstrations, presentations and talks celebrating all thing science and technology!

that is, until the second day, when everything goes to hell.
WARNINGS: Violence, possible attempted murder--will edit if needed!

April 23
The expo is off to a good start. The convention center's main hall is littered with tables and people. The tables represent everything from individual work, to start-up firms, to massive chemical conglomerates. Next door, a few ballrooms have been quickly converted to hold talks and demonstrations. The main stage areas are lined with plastic (to help prevent any sort of spills on the hardwood floors) and folding chairs are set in rows.

The main hall itself is jam-packed, with people wandering between tables and talks freely. Those presenting or manning a table have nametags--those visiting are laden down with maps and brochures. There's also some damn good punch and sandwiches if the free food at these sort of things is more your take.

All in all, everything seems to be going well!

April 24
Did we say everything was going well? Because now it's not.

During one particular talk, something horrible happens. What was supposed to be a routine demonstration of a chemical effect goes terribly wrong, with the chemicals exploding. The people in the first few rows are splattered with the chemicals, crying out in pain as it burns their skin. However, with any imPorts in the first few rows, something goes horribly wrong. Whether it happens instantly or some time later, their powers start to go out of control, unknowingly wrecking havoc on the convention center itself.

It's time to be a hero, you guys. Help take care of the people and bring your fellow out of control imports down!

Peter was at the front taking photos when the explosion happened, but his spider-sense reacts quickly enough that he ducks under a table before hot chemicals splash right where he was standing moments before. He takes advantage of the chaos and a conveniently placed tablecloth to switch clothing and pokes his head out just in time to see the Lizard charging out of the place.

"Is it terrible that I sort of expected this to happen?" he mutters to no one in particular.

For a moment he hesitates, taking stock of the injured. But if Spidey doesn't shut down the Lizard fast the EMTs are going to have a lot more work on their hands than a few burns, so there's nothing to do but charge after him, taking the distance to the hall in three great leaps.

"Lizzie, ol' pal," Spider-Man says, leaning so far backwards the Lizard's claws pass right over his face, then springing up just as quickly to throw a roundhouse of his own. "You hurt my feelings, running out of the room like that. I saved a slot for you on my dance card and everything!"

Spider-Man dodges once more, this time dropping close to the ground with one web-shooter raised.

"Aw, what's the matter, croc got your tongue? Whoops, my bad – that's me!" Putting action into words, he shoots three bursts of netting at the Lizard's face and claws, meaning to use the web-lines to yank him right off his feet.
