[ well good evening everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood spider-woman, accompanied by the human torch, both in costume, johnny wearing his fantastic four suit, and jess in her mask. game faces are on. this is a serious post, you guys. ]

Hey, so I guess you all noticed that Reed Richards just showed up. But he’s not the Reed you guys know, you should know that.

[ there’s a pause and johnny darts a glance at jess before he continues. ]

He’s not a good guy. He went really, really crazy and faked his own death and then blew up a lot buildings. And--

[ there’s little tendrils of flame licking up johnny’s body because he’s getting angry. this time when he looks over at jess, it’s for help. because shouting over the network isn’t going to convince anyone. be the level-headed one, jess.

she speaks up after a moment, her voice slow and careful, trying to be as calm as possible]

Reed Richards is a terrorist and a murderer. He’s a criminal. He’s currently wanted by SHIELD and the government, for destroying various buildings of importance, such as the Baxter building, Triskelion, Roxxon buildings, and various homes of innocent families, including his own. He has killed thousands of people because of this. He is a psychopath with no regard for human life, going so far to even destroy Asgard and creating an entire civilization dedicated to conquering human life and mind-controlling children for his own agenda.

He will manipulate you and lie to you to get what he wants. He’s pretending like he’s innocent -- like we’re the crazy ones, but I was there when he destroyed Roxxon. We were there when he attempted to ruin the Earth in the Negative Zone.

Reed Richards is a danger to everyone and should not be trusted.

[ there’s a pause. johnny’s still half on fire, expression considering before he shrugs. ]

Yeah, what she said.

[ and then he turns off the camera. ]

[ a raise of his eyebrows. SHE TOTALLY IS. ]

This is excessive.

Get out.

[ and then slamming down another encryption and trying to... wall him out ]

[ uugh this is SO MUCH WORK FUCK ]

I'm not going to give up when my entire reputation is at stake! Stop.

Should have thought about that before you decided to be a terrorist, Chuckles.

There's only one person being terrorized here.

"Oh no, the big bullies are picking on me!"

This isn't high school anymore. We're not trying trying to shove your face down a toilet. We're not the football players picking on the sad little nerd, unloved by his dad or whatever.

[ and he falters a little. ]

You think bringing up my childhood will make me crack? Make me admit I'm a terrorist? I'm still not! So... stop.

Was I bringing up your childhood? Because I was pulling a random example out of a hat.

[ hiss ]

You know we're not going to believe your lies. Why are you even here, Reed?

I'm here to change the world.

[ he pushes: ]

For the better.

The better for who? You?

For all of us. I mean it.

You cannot lie to me. I'm -- [ and then a moment of realization ] -- I'm beyond you, aren't I? I'm further in the timeline.

You don't know what happens.

We don't share a timeline. You don't know me.

I do know you. I do. I know you better than you know you right now.

[ she sounds almost... excited? ]

[ now he's very, very unsure.... ]

You don't know me.

[ she's practically grinning under her mask ]

How much do you honestly believe that? How much?

You don't know me!

[ and he can't help but bring it up. ] But I know you. You know that I know a lot about you.

[ and that's like a slap in the face ]

No, you don't.

[ shit ]

[ YESSSSS. ]

I wouldn't use it against you. Because I'm not evil.

No, because you don't have squat.

Just like you don't, either.

Are we even?

[ she's faltering for a full five minutes. either accept and let her identity of being a clone -- which he can't even be sure about, it has to all be assumptions -- safe and secret or... shiiit.

finally: ]

No.

Ugh.

This is going in circles.

Then hang up and get out.

[ ENCRYPTS. ] Fine. One thing.

Under that suit... are you still Peter Parker?
