i ain't even sorry

[butwhytho]

New York City is under my protection, Mundane. Whatever.

I'm pretty sure I'd be informed if some alien god tried to take over it.

It's not like I can afford to jet off to Monaco and fly back home in my super special alloy suit.

Get rid of those images of me crying. There's nothing funny about it.

I don't know what an Avenger is, lady, but if you keep laughing at all those little pictures of me crying? Someone's going to have to avenge you.

[Don't be! Peter loves the men in blue and the firefighters!]

Of course I do! I just meant on, uh...on this whole "Avenger" level.

[raincoatruinedit]

I got one sharing this guy's headspace. Looks like me. It's weird.

[butwhytho]

[...oh no.]

I think they call that "same face syndrome" or something along those lines.

[raincoatruinedit]

Still weird. Still, I like the guy.

So, you're in the superhero business, huh?

[butwhytho]

You could say that. You've never heard of Spider-Man?

[raincoatruinedit]

Yeah, in comic books. Sorry. This whole different universe thing is kinda confusing.

Mun's wanting to mix our canons, though. Whatever that means.

[butwhytho]

Whose canons?

[raincoatruinedit]

Mine and yours. I keep tellin' him I don't own a cannon.

[butwhytho]

That's not what he means. That's C-A-N-N-O-N. The one he means is C-A-N-O-N. A canon is usually used in regards to the church, like a list of saints, or a compilation of religious artwork and writings. In this case, where you're from is your canon and where I'm from is mine. Basically, everything you know is your own personal bible, and vice versa with me.

Does that make sense?

[raincoatruinedit]

Sorta.

See, he explained this to me, but I wasn't paying attention at the time. Why do they have to give names to things that make no sense?

[butwhytho]

[nerd mode: engaged]

But it does make sense. I just explained what it meant. If your guy wants to mix your canon and my canon, he'll be...it'll be like the Book of Mormon. A new, off-shoot kind of bible. Is that easier to understand?

[raincoatruinedit]

[He gets it. He's just playing dumb.]

Yeah, sorta. I don't think it's a good idea.

[butwhytho]

Have you expressed that concern?

[raincoatruinedit]

What? You think he'll listen? This guy has three others in Greek hell. Doesn't strike me as the reasonable type.

[butwhytho]

You mean the Underworld? It's a bit different than the...

And we're right back to canon and bibles, look at that.

[raincoatruinedit]

Hey, they get tortured. Sounds like hell to me.

[butwhytho]

How would he merge them anyway?

[raincoatruinedit]

I'm NYPD. Should be pretty easy.

[butwhytho]

I like the NYPD. Good people.

[raincoatruinedit]

That depends on who you speak to.

Detective Jason Walsh.

[butwhytho]

[He extends his hand for a shake; Walsh might be surprised at how strong it is if he's unprepared.]

Peter Parker. Nice to meet you, Detective.

[raincoatruinedit]

Likewise.

[Nope, taking that handshake like a man.]
