Chapter 9

Chapter 9 "And that's where you come in," Spider-Gwen said. She was standing in front of a music store, addressing a group of carolers. She had just explained that Spider-Man and Venom would be arriving any moment and that she needed the carolers' help. The carolers were speechless. Fighting bad guys was not part of their holiday playlist. The youngest caroler was a girl named Grace. Normally, Grace was shy. But she was also brave. Grace could speak up when something

was important. And being asked to help defeat a Super Villain felt very important. Grace raised her hand. "Yes?" Spider-Gwen asked. "You're a Super Hero," Grace said. "What can we do that you can't?" Spider-Gwen leaned forward until she was face-to-face with Grace. "You can sing, right?" The girl nodded.

Spider-Gwen tossed her a handbell. "Then let's try 'Jingle Bells' on four." Less than a minute later, Spider-Man came swinging down the mall's hall. Venom was right behind him. "I really hope Gwen's plan works," Spidey said to himself. "Because if she's wrong, I might be in for an alien abduction!"

Spider-Gwen caught sight of Spidey. She jumped behind a drum kit that she'd borrowed from the music store. The carolers stood around her, each holding a chime or bell. Spider-Gwen grabbed a pair of drumsticks. She tapped them together and counted, "One, two, three, four!"

Thus began a truly rocking version of "Jingle Bells." The sound reached Venom. The alien began to screech. It tried to escape, but Spider-Man stopped it with a well- timed jab. Spider-Gwen pounded on the drums. The carolers rang their bells. Venom started to separate from its host. Grace sang louder!
