[ 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. ]

Ok, um. So I got bitten by this spider and then all this stuff happened to me. Like the walking on the ceiling stuff. I think it was some science experiment, 'cause it had a number painted on the back of it. It ran away after it bit me, so I didn't get a good look at what kind it was. Not that I would have known what kind of spider it was by looking anyway, unless it was a tarantula or a black widow, which it wasn't.

Not really helpful, but that's the story.

I see.

Do you know Peter Parker?

Private; unhackable

[spiderkid]

Yeah! I met him. Well, a different universe him. The him where I'm from died, but he was Spider-Man before I was.

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

Well, I met him too.

Where, here?

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

Yes.

He's gone, now.

[spiderkid]

Oh. [ Sad Spidey is sad. ]

People come and go a lot around here, huh?

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

Yes.

That sucks. Must get pretty confusing, if there are new people all the time and the old people keep leaving randomly.

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

[A pause]

Why confusing?

Private; unhackable

[spiderkid]

I dunno, just on top of everything else I hear about this place, like the curses or whatever.

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

Not so confusing.

Private; unhackable

[spiderkid]

I'll take your word for it.

So, do you still think you can help me learn about spiders even though I don't know what kind bit me?

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

Yes.

Private; unhackable

[spiderkid]

Cool. Once I'm settled in I can give you a call and we can set something up.

Since this is private I might as well tell you my real name is Miles.

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

Hello, Miles.

Private; unhackable

[spiderkid]

Hey. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Private; unhackable

[synanthrope]

I'm good at secrets.

Private; unhackable

[spiderkid]

Cool, thanks.
