[ The first thing Miles does upon arrival is sigh in relief that the shooting stopped. The second thing he does is realize that he's not in the middle of a fight anymore, and wherever he is, he's in his suit without his change of clothes. The third thing he does is notice the device on the ground next to him. ]



I found this phone. Dont no whos it is, but if whoever you are sees this and wants it back Im chillin by the fountain. Just look for your friendly neighborhood Spiderman!

[ There are probably better, smarter ways to get answers, but this'll do, Miles figures. ]

Yeah, I guess if there was no bad guys, there'd be no need for Spider-Man. [ Which actually sounds like a relief, if he's honest. ]

I don't care about Texas doing their own thing, except I think they've got nukes.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

You could hone your abilities and pitch them as a television show, possibly as an exterminator. Like that man from Louisiana.

[Pulls a face.] Well. I'm not entirely sure what a nuke is.

Action

[spiderkid]

I'd rather just go to school and be normal.

It's a bomb. A huge, huge bomb.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

School seems boring. Better to have adventures, I think. Prove oneself the best.

Ah.

Action

[spiderkid]

Adventures are cool, but they're dangerous too.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

What a boring adventure if it were safe.

Action

[spiderkid]

See, boring is fine with me. Boring doesn't hurt people.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

Yes, but much less fun in the long run, I think. Even if casualties are terrible.

Re: Action

[spiderkid]

[ He gets a far off look on his face. ] Yeah... terrible.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

Anyway, if you are as you seem, there are few here our age. Leah and I are two, and of the same universe.

Action

[spiderkid]

What about this Mindy girl? [ He gestures with the device. ] You know her?

Action

[doeswhathewants]

I do. She is on the up and up. Mostly. [He might say this in jest.]

Action

[spiderkid]

She told me I could live with her. I was gonna go check it out.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

Careful, she eats the hearts and eyes of young men for breakfast. [Or he could be lying.]

Re: Action

[spiderkid]

Dude, quit messing with me! Is she cool or what?

Action

[doeswhathewants]

Do you prefer all of your internal organs remaining on the inside, or are you okay with giving up one or two to the black market? She leaves a lollipop after.

Sugar free, though.

Re: Action

[spiderkid]

So are you saying I shouldn't live with her? Talk English, man.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

Speak Aesir... man.

Action

[spiderkid]

Whatever, I don't get you.

I'm going to check this Mindy girl out, but I guess if weird stuff goes down, I've been warned.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

Of course not, I'm complicated.

Good luck, tiny Spiderman!

Action

[spiderkid]

Thanks, tiny Aesir-guy.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

You may call me Serrure. Or Loki. Whichever is less likely to have terrible connotations.

Action

[spiderkid]

I've heard of Loki... Thor's crazy evil brother, right? In my universe, at least.

Action

[doeswhathewants]

Consider me Loki 2.0. The hero variety .

Action

[spiderkid]

Okay then. Loki 2.0, Spider-Man 2.0. I'm cool with that.
