permavid; only registered name on the comm is "spider-man"

[remake]

[ The video is up-side down. It's hard to tell, because the guy in the video is also up-side down, sticking to the shiny, windowed side of an office building by his hand and feet. He looks distinctly spider-man themed, but the design is different and so is the voice. He sounds awful young. ]

Okay. Okay. I'm not freaking out but- [ A pause for some quick, audibly shallow breaths. ] -uh. I might be freaking out? Uh. There's- there's someone else living where my house is supposed to be which is really not cool, and I can't figure out what happened to the Triskelion. I'd like to help y'all out but.

If I had- uh, I don't know, directions maybe I could... knock on the door and get you some r-real- some better heroes. I kind of know Nick Fury? Sort of.

And it sounds like you need that. I-I mean, I can stop muggers and stuff, and I guess like The Ringer and Kangaroo (I'm so not making that up, there's a dude that calls himself "Kangaroo"), but this whole-- this whole alternate dimension thing is way over my head and-

[ Hitched breathing. ] And I'm still... working on it.

[webline]

[ this is a long string of unpleasant swear words tbh before she catches herself. ]

Razzle-frazzin' friggin' -- [ ok this is not a way to go about this. calm yoself girl. ] That's fine. Fine. Just -- okay, look. I'm gonna -- I'm gonna help you.

[ seriously trying not to freak out now. ]

[remake]

[ Lmfao instantly nothing else in that matters just-- learning to not fail that would be tres excellent. ]

R-really?

[webline]

No, I'm just saying it to yank your chain.

[ wait that's mean ]

Yeah. Really.

[remake]

[ WOW JESS ]

... uh. Okay. Thanks?

[webline]

[ firmly: ]

We need to meet.

[remake]

[ He hesitates for just a second!! ]

I- I'm down in Brooklyn.

[webline]

Alright. I'll be there in ten.

[ she's hanging up

and sure enough ten minutes later, there's Spider-Woman swinging across the cityline of Brooklyn, heading towards where Miles' house was. ]

[remake]

[ Gently sitting miserably on the steps of the house across the street, hugging his knees. There's no Triskelion, his Charter School is gone, and his house belongs to someone else.

He's pretty sure he has nowhere left to go. ]

[webline]

[ she lands on the house he's at and then crawls on top of the awning before sticking to it and hanging upside down, perched there. ]

Hey, kid.

[ just be cool. don't get mad. don't kick him again. ]

[remake]

[ He springs to stand up and turn around to face her!! He'd gotten tired at waiting, after worrying for a little while how she'd know where to go and then remembering that Nick Fury seemed to know literally everything ever, so he probably shouldn't question it. ]

Um. Hi.

[ Gently ready to duck if she aims a kick for his head. ]

[webline]

[ and flipping off the awning oh-so-gracefully (with no sarcasm whatsoever because spider) and turning to face him, hands on her hips.

and as if she can read his mind tbh: ]

I'm not going to kick you again. I was -- was mad. [ she still kind of is ]

Besides, you already know I can knock you from here to Queens, so.

[remake]

[ Wow he hunches in on himself. Yeah he knows Jess gosh!!! ] What do you want?

[webline]

To talk. I figured it was just... it was better in person.

[ pauses, rocking her head back.... ugh what does she do now HOW DOES SHE BABBY ]

You know about everything, right? About this place.

[remake]

[ He shrugs a bit. Lmfao he still has no idea how to react to her ever. ]

Yeah. A- a bunch of people answered my questions.

[webline]

[ p...ause... ugh she has no idea how to do this. ]

Walk with me.

[ gestures and by walk she clearly means swing as she's already pointing a finger and shooting a webline. ]

[remake]

Wait!

[ omfg there it is again he springs after her, it's super hard to talk while she's swinging and he's just throwing himself at the next building in his way but shut up he's trying anyway!! ]

How do you do that? I can't get it to work!

[webline]

[ uuugh what is with this kiiiiiiidddd

she's flipping onto the building he lands on before kicking off and swinging to the next. she's... at least going slowly on purpose. ]

It's probably not part of your power set. [ he got bit by a spider like peter so... she had to get this genetically engineered in her.

[remake]

[ wow don't hate jess everyone has to start somewhere!! ] Oh. Bummer.

[ THE WEBS ARE COOL OKAY ]

[webline]

[ stopping and standing on the side of a building. this is too slow. siiiiigh. ]

Do you want to climb on?

[remake]

[ ROFL WOW STARING FOR A SECOND ] U-um, okay? [ DOES... SO... JESS WHERE ARE THEY GOING ]

[webline]

[ jerking her thumb at her back. ]

Piggy-backing. It's faster. [ a beat ] We're heading over to Queens.

[remake]

[ yep lmfao awkwardly climbing on okay and trying not to ruin this moment with words ]

[webline]

[ that's fine. she'll be web-swinging away in silence. this actually isn't as awk as she thought it'd be but whatever... about ten minutes later, she's landing on one of the rooftops.

queens is more comforting tbh. ]

You okay?

you get this icon until we're done GOD

[remake]

[ He was freaking out at first (silently so she wouldn't like elbow him in the side of the head), but just like with spider-jumping, it quickly became exhilarating.

Yeah you bet he's internally WHEEEEEEEEing!!! ]

Yeah I'm okay!

[ Except he's glancing forlornly over his shoulder as they leave Brooklyn!!! ]

GOD GET OFF HER MILES

[webline]

[ finally touching ground and she's kind of... trying to get him to let go of her when they're finally on ground. (well, a rooftop, but w/e).

and when she finally gets him off her, she's stepping away, ruffling her hair. ]

I... we'll figure out something for traveling for you.
