text; during the swear-in

[shutterbugged]

You will never believe who just showed up.

[symbionic]

Spider-Man?

[shutterbugged]

What? I mean yes, I saw him around here somewhere, but

[ WHY IS HE THE WORST PERSON ]

I'm at the swearing-in ceremony.

[symbionic]

You know I'm coming to that, right? Also if you're kidding me about Spidey I'll let Val make me prosthetics just so I can kick your ass.

[Assholes all around.]

[shutterbugged]

Why would I even lie about that?

[ about that ]

He's been here for months.
Anyway you should come and re-meet Jessica Jones.

[symbionic]

Who?

[shutterbugged]

She was Jessica Campbell in high school.

[symbionic]

In our grade?

[shutterbugged]

Yes!

[ He feels guilty for even writing this, but: ]

Coma Girl.

[symbionic]

[Not as terrible as Flash hears reading that.]

Really?

[shutterbugged]

[ Peter can't help but feel he of all people should have known better than to opt in just to get one more precarious rung up the status ladder. ]

Yeah.

[symbionic]

[At least he didn't come up with the whole thing.]

Pete. I know you mean well, and you're the best friend a guy could ask for. So don't take this the wrong way, or think it's self-pity, cause it's not. But I'm not sure a spontaneous high school reunion is really a great idea.

[shutterbugged]

Ball's in your court, buddy. I just thought you should know before you ran into her.

[symbionic]

Yeah, thanks. I just. "Hi Jessica, it's great to see you after all this time in a completely different universe where we've all been kidnapped or drafted or something, I'm your old high school bully, sorry I made fun of your tragic accident and got the entire school in on it, but really you look great?" Pretty shitty greeting, and double if she just got here, you know?

[shutterbugged]

I do know, which is why I was telling you in advance before you ran into her and had to figure out what to say on the spot.

[ Flash plz ]

[symbionic]

Did you tell her I was here?

[shutterbugged]

Uh. Yes. Sorry?

I'm so proud

[symbionic]

Did you get that from them, or did they get that from you?

[shutterbugged]

I'm a role model for young arachnids everywhere.

[symbionic]

I noticed. There's a Spider-Man in middle school now and everything.

text;

[shutterbugged]

I have the insatiable urge to pinch his cheeks

And lock him in a bank vault

[symbionic]

Ok good we're on the same page about that. I wasn't sure with Kaine's...friend?

text;

[shutterbugged]

You mean Aracely? What about her?

text;

[symbionic]

I have no clue what about her.

text;

[shutterbugged]

Well what were you asking then?

text;

[symbionic]

Is she like his teen sidekick?

And then were you gonna have a teen sidekick? Except he's not even a teenager yet I think...

Because if you'd been thinking about it I would have had to tell you that it's a terrible idea.

[shutterbugged]

He's her champion, whatever that means exactly. Magic stuff.

I was thinking whatever works to keep him from getting killed like the spider-guy who went before him.
