eyeing maskormenace

[withgreatbleach]

Oh, I see. Now you're going to try to make time for me? Way to make a guy feel wanted!

[ He's still smiling even as he says that, though. ]

Still, can't complain too much — it'd be nice to see Pete and little May. Then again, I guess she's not so little now, huh? Even... okay, saying it'd be "nice" to see Kaine might be too much of a stretch.

[Wow. Wow!]

Definitely not so little anymore.

[withgreatbleach]

[ WOW! ]

I can see that! You - you - look at you! [ Gestures at, well, all of her. ] It's like someone put Peter and MJ in a blender. But, but in a good way!

[ Sorry, May he's an EXTREMELY EXCITED disaster right now. ]

I mean, when I last saw you, you were a– [ Makes "expanding balloon" motions over his stomach.] You know? In MJ's belly. And now you're...

Wow. Wow.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[She can see that!]

Yeah. [She's not trying to play shy, but when you're talking to the not-so-dead uncle of yours who died before you were born? Yeah. Yeah.]

It's nice to meet you too, Uncle Ben.

[Talk about a surprise!]

[notyourfathersosborn]

Heh, I can't speak for the others, but Mayday would like that a lot.

[withgreatbleach]

Harr-

[ Shakes his head. No, that can't be right. Peter told him what happened to Harry. That can't be right. ]

Wait. Sorry, no. You just... look a lot like...

Normie, right? His son? Peter told me about you. Are you a friend of— [trying not to chuckle at the name. aaaaand failing ] Mayday's?

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Smiles slightly at being called Harry.]

Right on both counts. She's talked about you a few times.

[webline]

Huh.

So that's what blonde would look like.

[shutterbugged]

It's not very flattering, is it.

[webline]

I can happily say I will never consider dying my hair now. Like. Wow.

[withgreatbleach]

Hey!

May told me, in the future, you have a goatee.

[ Definitely the mature one, here. ]

[withgreatbleach]

[ Yeah. It's... going to take him a moment to realize what he's looking at here. Sorry, Jess. ]

Aaaaaaand that's what... that would look like.

[hungupthewebs]

Ben?

[He looks so young.]

With Kaine it's always a stretch.

[withgreatbleach]

That's what I call myself.

[ Chuckles. Because someone has to laugh at his jokes. Even if it's just him. ]

He's never exactly been a friendly type, has he? Also, I don't want to be rude, but you're...

[ DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIND A WORD THAT ISN'T "OLD". ]

Aaaaaageeeeddddd?

[ LOOK AT LEAST HE TRIED ]

[candidly]

[ ... huh. ]

You know, I'm not sure I dig the blond. But it's better than red.

[webline]

[ OH MY GOD BAAABBYYYY ]

Hey now. Red would look way better.

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU <3

[withgreatbleach]

[ huh INDEED. he's got some theories as to what he's seeing here (spoilers: all the theories are "clone") but he's going to need a moment to stop boggling and start quipping again ]

Red? What? Do you need glasses? 'Cause I've been a brunette, yes, but never red.

[ no one ever said they'd be GOOD quips ]

!!!!

[shutterbugged]

I think I could make it work.

[jackpots]

Pete and... little May? [ squints. so much squinting. there is so much squinting at this entire entry. ]

[withgreatbleach]

[ He can't help but smile at the sight of her. Even if it is a confused, tiny version of her. ]

Well, from my perspective, you're little too. Not sure that actually... helps, though...

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[She's not the only one squinting.]


...Hi?

[mellowedwithage]

You might be surprised. People change, Reilly.

[withgreatbleach]

Because you're so trustworthy, Kaine.

[ Note that he's not... actually saying he doesn't believe him. But he's going to need convincing. ]

[shutterbugged]

Wow, I forgot your face used to look like that.

[ omg manners pete ]

[firegodrockstar]

Huh, been a while since I've seen so much of Pete's, uh, 'extended family' in one place like this.

How you doing, Ben?

Have an AU where a Ben who lived through Clone Saga married Spider-Gwen and had this dork.

[lifeofreilly]

He does have a habit of being a complete jerk, yeah.
