I'm not useless.

I know that I act like I am most of the time, and it ain't exactly as if I'm flying around the City putting out fires and grabbing kittens out of trees, but I can do stuff. Stuff that no one else here can.

This isn't me typing up a résumé and begging for someone here to hire me. I have a job. I like my job at the restaurant, and I've been getting way more shifts than usual, ever since Laura disappeared. You know, some of you should stop by sometime, and I'll probably make you something for cheap. Anyway, this is just something you should keep in mind.

I don't turn invisible. I can do better than that. I can move out of time and not be seen, so I can get in and out of anywhere without really being there. I'm fast, too. Give me days and I'll give back months. Whatever. You get the point—I can do shit that you can't, and seriously, that's useful.

Not asking for money. Not much, anyway. Just something to do to keep me distracted, so I don't end up getting high every night and acting like a stupid bitch around people only trying to help. Anything that's not too sketchy—I don't mind stealing and spying on people, but I'm not about to kill anyone. Or steal any of their organs.

Okay. Maybe a kidney.

And because I organised porter-duty when things were kinda upside down for a while, I should probably ask: you new guys doing alright here? Yeah, maybe it sucks, and no, you definitely can't get out, but my apartment is still half empty, if anyone feels like helping out with the rent.

This is Peter being concerned.

...You know, a think a bunch of us would prefer if you didn't advertise to both sides of the tracks, Ki.

Just a thought.

I'm not gonna kill anyone, Spidey.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

I know that, but people like Rorschach might...take the wrong idea from this and.

Well.


_{I don't want you to get hurt.}

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Oh. Um.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Hey, I've made it this far. I'm sure I can survive a little longer.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

It's not a matter of "surviving," kiddo.

--Don't you have anything else you'd rather do?

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

I—shit, I don't know. I'm trying to use my powers here to do something useful, trying to get stuff sorted. I'll take whatever I can get.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

That's good -- I mean, crap, that's how I started out, but just...No stealing and black-marketing, alright?

Please?

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

What if I'm stealing from the bad guys?

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

Can you pull off the whole "Robin Hood, Woman in Tights" thing?

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

I'll leave the bow and arrow thing to Kate, but I can handle, y'know, handing out stolen goods to orphans and shit.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

Well...

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

You sure?

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

C'mon. Have some faith in me, Spidey.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I do.

It's everyone else I don't trust yet.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Right. Everyone else.

Those guys suck.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

Is that a tone of sarcasm I'm hearing, young lady?

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Calling me young lady only reinforces how old you are, Spidey.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I think I'm okay with that.

Miss.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Alright, grandpa.
