Y'know, I think I can help with that first part, assuming you're on board for living on the back of a giant turtle.

I'd like to think it sports a pretty low jerk-to-not-jerk ratio.

I don't think it really matters whether I'm on board or not.

You can be on the not-jerk list most days. Not all, but most.

...yeah, I'll concede that one. Not many of us get a whole lot of input on the whole "game" thing.

And before I celebrate my mostly not-jerk status, uh...do we know each other?

[...Pete wait that can be interpreted in all the wrong ways]

Okay, that came out badly. Point is, I may not be the friendly neighborhood Spidey you're familiar with. Could be the whole "alternate universes" thing at work.

Yeah. She's disorganized [Judgement face attack] so she missed the deadline for this week but claims she'll have it done for the next one. Unless we're talking about a different giant turtle. [Life can get ridiculous. Particularly Spider-Man related life.]

Hm, this again? Of course I know you Peter. we go to the same school and we're on the same SHIELD team and we've saved each other's lives? In my universe, anyway.

Disorganized, huh? Well, least you're not alone in that boat. You should see mine's room.

[Hey!]

Oh, and please tell me you're the only one other-me decided to blow his identity with. Or at least that it was only because you guys worked together and not, y'know...

[Because he'd like to think no version of him would be stupid enough to let the whole "I run around the city in tights fighting bad guys" thing slip just because he and the other person were dating.]

[Hey guess who takes a little long to get that.] Like I would! [Okay today you are so not on that list]

You wish.

Easy, easy! Just trying to figure out how bad the guy screwed up! I don't know if he just blew it with one person or the whole city!

[That, and he's learned not to rule anything out around here. Meeting your potential future daughter who's about as old as you are has a way of doing that.]

[Deep breath, calming down now] No, all our identities are still secret. Only we know them. You, me, Sam, Danny and Luke. And Fury. And Principal Coulson. And maybe a few other SHIELD guys. But that's it.

[My that is a long list.]

Great, so the other me's got loose lips. He a total screw-up at anything else?

We're a team, Peter. Everybody on that list helps cover for you when you screw up. Which you do. But usually not totally.

But if you ever make us fight Doom again before we're ready I'll... Well, you won't like it.

Not gonna lie, the whole "team" thing just sounds...weird. I mean, I didn't even know other superheroes even existed back home. Or this "Doom" guy, whoever he is.

[He's assuming "bad guy," though. "Doom" isn't exactly a name that inspires trust.]

He has a country. Like they put on maps. And we've worked out the team thing. More or less. 'In harmony, we are greater than the sum of our parts.'

See, now it just sounds weird and corny.

It's a quote from Danny.

...Who you don't know.

Well, I know a Danny, but probably not that one. Probably for the best, too.

The place I know him from has a slightly more pronounced jerk presence than the one it sounds like you're headed to.

[Or even used to, since one of them is exceptionally jerk-ish in Pete's eyes]

Do you mean Iron Fist or just some guy named Danny?

Just some guy named Danny. Well, kinda.

He's sort of a superhero too, just not in the same way I am.

[Probably not in the way White Tiger is either, he's just not really prepared to make that call just yet.]

'Sort of?' What's 'sort of?'

Well, he's kind of a specialized one? Far as I know, he mainly dealt with ghosts, not supervillains. Don't think I've ever heard the guy talk about stopping a bank robbery or carjackers or anything.

I'm guessing things just work differently where he's from. Less psychos in spandex, more sociopathic spooks.

Wow. I bet the psychos are easier to deal with. At least you can see them.
