So, so homeless

[cantkeep]

You're serious.

You're actually serious.

[It's not that Peter's particularly perturbed by this idea. It just seems so... stupid.]

Hey, I promise I won't say "I told you so." [... There you go again, Peter.]

Comments

[eisoptrologic]

More than once, you mean, Parker?

Keep the spoilers under wraps for a few hours, 'kay? :3

[compromisedarrow]

These guys are rarely not serious

[cantkeep]

[...

Who are you and why do you know him]

Technically, I guess.

[arach_nerd]

But you told her so.

[eisoptrologic]

[call it the privilege of the mun deciding to let him be a troll. whatever whatever he does what he wants]

I'm a scientist. Technicalities are practically everything.

You got it! o/

[cantkeep]

I think I figured that out pretty quickly.

[arach_nerd]

Norm, are you that desperate to beat me in a fight that you've resorted to picking on my inexperienced alternates?

[eisoptrologic]

Oh, it's you again. Didn't you try to get under my skin the last time I was wandering around here?

[compromisedarrow]

You get used to it.

[And a hand gets offered]

Clint Barton.

[cantkeep]

[Poor babby Peter. His first trolling ;;

... But, hey, whoa. Hold up.]

You're a scientist? [He may or may not have Reasons for being interested in this.]

[cantkeep]

[TECHNICALITIES B| B|]

I meant... you know... later.

[cantkeep]

[Well, Peter's kind of hoping his stay in stupidland is limited, honestly.

And he shakes the hand.]

Peter Parker.

[compromisedarrow]

[Yes, he knows who you are. Though not through SHIELD Channels. Still, Parker wasn't supposed to know that.]

A pleasure.

...So, any plans?

[arach_nerd]

I actually did manage to, if I recall.

Whatever, just don't try that godawful "I want you to be my son" schtick on this one. You're a terrible parent and we both know it.

[cantkeep]

[Best keep that under wraps there, Barton. Because that guy above has already freaked him out enough.]

Besides hoping she gets distracted?

[compromisedarrow]

Probably'll happen, unless she gets you into one of those games.

[raincoatruinedit]

People don't change their answers the more you ask 'em, y'know.

[Have a fellow New Yorker, Peter.]

[arach_nerd]

I'd actually suggest against not telling them so. Being our usual, annoying selves is literally our only line of defense against muns.

Anyways, lemme be the first to welcome you to the Fraternal Order of Spider-Men. I think you already received your complimentary guilt complex.

[cantkeep]

[...]

I don't even wanna know, do I?

[compromisedarrow]

Nope

[cantkeep]

[Sup fellow New Yorker]

Doesn't hurt to try.

[raincoatruinedit]

Might provoke them. From what I see, these muns are pretty mentally unstable.

[cantkeep]

[His mouth opens to say something. And then it closes.

The Fraternal Order of...

... what.]

Wait. You're... [Pause.] You're me?

[arach_nerd]

From about 10 years down the line in an alternate universe, but yeah.

[cantkeep]

[Sounds like you're speaking from experience, dude. That's good enough for him.]

Think I'll count on distraction.

[compromisedarrow]

Hope it works out for ya.

[starshielded]

You know, I felt the same way, but you get used to it.

[cantkeep]

I don't think I'll have time to.

[Really, he's pretty confident that this mun is going to figure out it's a bad idea and wander off.]

[starshielded]

[He should have more faith in people.]

Then you should enjoy the time you do have, right?

[cantkeep]

[...

All right, Parker. Slow, simple words.]

You're from the future. In an alternate universe.

[Doesn't this go against about twenty laws of physics wat]

[remake]

Is it really that bad?

[arach_nerd]

Yeah, don't think about it too much, Your head'll explode.

[cantkeep]

[Is it that bad... only the stupidest idea ever]

What do you think?

[remake]

--Uh. I-I guess. Apparently.

[cantkeep]

Really.

[There is... absolutely nothing that could have alluded to that possibility. N o p e.]

[raincoatruinedit]

Yeah. Sorta like living on a knife-edge. Some of the stuff that happens is pretty cool, though.

[eisoptrologic]

Mmmhm. Norman Osborn. Pleasure to meet you.

[this time he'll do better at keeping the kid in the dark. if no one else spoils it for him, anyway]

[eisoptrologic]

More like you'd be a terrible son, and we both know it.

[arach_nerd]

To you,probably. But then, I've always had issues with people who wear green. And are, y'know, psychotic.
