Apping to DDD - Canon is Amazing Spiderman - Possible spoilers in comments?

[spandexed]

So.

Congratulations on the carpal tunnel thing. I mean, hey, you earned it. Powering out an app and clicking the upload icon button a hundred or so times in the span of a couple days, is definitely an accomplishment.

Excellent. Really. Gold stars.

No no, really, I really do appreciate it. I mean, if you're going to do this, you should do it right. Or right-ish. Close as you can get anyway.

Have to say you're kind of starting off on the wrong foot with the journal name. I mean... that's the direction you want to go, huh?

All right. Just checking.

Nah. Don't think so. Don't got the chin. ...or the shoulders.

[spandexed]

...I have the shoulders for it. [He totally doesn't.]

But fine. Not him.

Ever heard of Spiderman?

[donowthinklater]

Sounds familiar. But not really. Spiderman. Really? You don't look like a spider.

[spandexed]

Nah, I'm cuter than that. I just, you know, act like one. Kind of.

[donowthinklater]

If you say so. Do you eat flies?

[spandexed]

Only on special occasions.

No, you know. Climb walls and ceilings. Spin webs. That sort of thing.

[donowthinklater]

Oh.

So who'd you get it from?

[spandexed]

Santa Claus. I was a really good boy this year.

[Grin grin grin.] Really though it's a long story.

[donowthinklater]

Who's that? [Because being raised in a VR world doesn't teach you stuff like that.]

How long we talking about? A minute? That's pretty long.

[spandexed]

Uh. Really? [That's... shocking!]

Several minutes. At least.

[donowthinklater]

Yes?

Oh. That's really long.

[spandexed]

...man you'd hate Lit class then.

[donowthinklater]

School's kinda torture in general.

[spandexed]

It can be. I wind up late too often.

Science class can be fun though.

[donowthinklater]

I thought you said you were fast enough. I'm never late.

You like science?

[spandexed]

When I'm going places I want to go I am.

Yeah, I do. It's sort of my thing, I guess. My dad was a scientist.

[donowthinklater]

Probably not as fast as me.

Oh. I guess that makes sense. My dad was a superhero.

[spandexed]

Oh? You're the speedy type?

Really? Huh. Family business, then?

[donowthinklater]

Yup. Name's Impulse.

You could say that. My grandpa was the second Flash- heard of him?

[spandexed]

Huh.

Well... umm. I think I have, actually. Crazy.

[donowthinklater]

He was pretty famous, so maybe it's not that crazy.

[spandexed]

Well. Crazier that I'm talking to you and you're his grandkid more than anything else. I mean. What're the chances.

[donowthinklater]

Oh. Guess the same as the chances of talking to another superhero? ...which...doesn't seem to be uncommon around here at all.

[spandexed]

That a fact? Some sort of hangout or something?

Didn't think there were superhero hangouts. Might need to look into this.

[donowthinklater]

[Shrug.] Makes as much sense to me as anything else.

Sure, there's probably lots of 'em.
