[shockproof]

Oh, you were serious.

I thought you were joking. I really -- me. Five thousand superpowered jackholes in my universe, and you pick me. Fifty assholes in your lineup -- but you've played fifty assholes. You're just burning through em, aren't you. That's real flattering, how easy you are.

You know he's there. and That's a real bitch move. Fuck Thanks a lot. What do you mean there's more than ONE

Still nothing I can't handle.

I'm the Shocker, remember?

Now get to work.

I'm sure you get this a lot, but really, why did you pick Shocker?

[currentcy]

Oh, great. There goes the neighborhood.

[shockproof]

Shockwave was taken. I think he's one of yours, in fact.

[THIS IS A LIE Shocker predated Shockwave]

Shouldn't you be Nanite-Man?

[liverletdie]

I could, but that would hardly do me any favors on the PR side. I'm sure Shocker's a real hit with certain parties.

[shockproof]

Dillon. Glad you could make it, but I really don't need anybody standing nearby to make me look good.

Especially you.

[shockproof]

It sounds futuristic. But you're going for the knight vibe, I guess.

Oh, right, like I've never heard that one before. [mumbles something that sounds suspiciously like "rich jackass"]

[currentcy]

There's only a few things that aren't improved by my presence. But I doubt anything could make you look good.

[remake]

You're Shocker?

What happened to the- uhh. Purple. Coat?

[shockproof]

Uh huh.

So did you get checked out for mutie-itis, yet? I heard the City's got a school for you people just like home.

[shockproof]

...Kid, my advice is to start a binder with names and aliases. Really helps you in the long run.

Nothing worse than starting a fight with a guy you thought was Trapster who ends up being Baron Zemo.

[oh shit that outfit] And boy are you in the wrong fanclub.

[currentcy]

You take that back, unless you want to start using your own face for your new mask.

[shockproof]

What, like you?




No thanks.

[currentcy]

You sure? It'd only hurt for a few long minutes.

[shockproof]

Don't drag me into your weird bedroom antics, Max, I mean it. [wait until he finds out who Electro is rooming with]

[currentcy]

Ugh. Not even if you changed your name to something like the Vibrator.

[remake]

[beat] ... That's a good idea. [god he really needs to start studying]

What? [oh] I'm not. I mean, I'm Spider-Man.

[shockproof]

Oh, now we're getting to the truth.

You're jealous.

[shockproof]

[starting to suspect this one is serious] Where are your parents?

[BECAUSE SERIOUSLY.] If you try that on with Ock or Venom, some of the real lunatics, you're liable to get killed.

[remake]

[MAN HOW DO THEY ALWAYS KNOW] Where are yours? [yes good comeback Miles]

I- [oh god do not want to die horribly like last spider-man] I- It's not... like that.

[liverletdie]

What was that? I don't think I quite heard you. You should speak up.

[shockproof]

[HIS CUTE RUNTY SIZE HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT.] Pretty thoroughly disappointed with me, I'm sure. [he's suspicious. There have been no insults.]

Okay. What is it like? [a beat] The grey's better than the navy, by the way.

[shockproof]

I said "You can't insult me, I fight Spider-Man."

I know a hotshot like you has better things to do.

[liverletdie]

Sure I do, but we all need to take breaks every now and then.

[originalbeachboy]

Get to work doin' what?

[shockproof]

Writing up an app to see if she's qualified to play yours truly.

Good thing you didn't hear that noise she just made at seeing you, it wasn't really dignified.
