you sure you don't have an alter ego on speed dial?
[ captain america vibes off this guy for Sure. ]
we can try testing should-be impossible scenarios. if you're not sporting super strength, probably better to do immoveable walls vs putting you in front of a batting machine?
isn't the whole point of that to not tell people about the secret identity? plausible deniability on your part that way in case someone tries to make you spill.
[eww daisy. he's like way more interesting that captain america. that guy was like pretty much just war propaganda... peter's quips are at least three levels cooler.]
i've still got the skills, if not the oomph to back it up. why don't we treat it like any other workout and alternate. it can't always be leg day, after all.
jesus. you're not gonna let it drop unless i spill, right? fine. you know what? it's not like you'd be the only one who knows. and if i can trust peggy with it, i suppose i can trust you too.
[he hopes. and to be fair, fitz sort of already knows too, so, honestly he's not sure why he's being so secretive about it.]
hi. i'm your friendly neighborhood spider-man. please don't make me give you my whole tragic origin story. we'll be here all night.
don't shoot me. i don't have super-speed. i'm not invulnerable or insane.
let's just start with impossible tasks and immovable objects. if we're lucky, maybe i'll be that unstoppable force. or maybe i'll just pull a muscle.
excuse you. i'm very friendly as far as new yorkers go geez why does everyone ask me that? no i don't have extra appendages, i don't shoot silk from my butt.
bitten by a radioactive spider. sporting some extra dna as a result before i woke up with a glow cube in my chest, i was basically super strong, agile, and able to climb up any wall or across any ceiling.
oh and you know how spiders can sense things landing on their webs? i could sense when stuff was about to happen right by me. kind of like feeling vibrations in the air.
so... you're not friendly? because every actual new yorker i've ever met has been a total dick.
[ sorry, but she never actually met cap, so she can't say whether brooklyn's any better. ]
the vibration thing i get, though. that was kind of my thing too. more earthquakes than spidey sense, but "everything vibrates" seems to be the recurring theme. super recycling is at least useful, but no denying it's a hell of a downgrade
okay first of all i don't know what poly ethel merman is but it's more like magic lego bricks than actual recycling i can take stuff apart, turn it into something else. toaster oven into heat stamp, that kind of thing.
we didn't exactly have the nicest of meet cutes, okay? we can always try again, you know, now that i'm not wearing weird shit and full of compliance drugs.
[what about cap, though, daisy?]
polyethylene. plastic. jfc. that's... actually useful so if someone was an inventor and could pass you some schematics, you'd be able to maybe make stuff?
i'm not talking weapons of mass destruction here i've just got some gear from back home that i could use and i'm sure the list is going to get longer the more i chat with fitz...
excuse you the only good thing about the neural interface is that i can beam you beautiful 3d rendered drawings that are to scale i really hope it doesn't explode or we're gonna have a big mess on our hands
yeah well, i figured as much i see a lot of dumpster diving in my future i'll bring you food but you've gotta tell me what or else you're getting cricket kabobs
if you're good, i'll show you my favorite scrapyards people are real big into recycling here probably a side-effect of the whole "world's gone to shit" crisis
spider man. man. not boy. i'm in my thirties and even as a teen i went as spider man.
[what a jerk]
if i'm good? i'm always good. the best. i've saved the world at least a dozen times over. i won't drag people for recycling it's probably better than the plastic island floating in the ocean crisis of 2000 and late.
you could just go as "spider" and cut out the age issue altogether. one word names are superior anyway.
[ she would know ]
are you really trying to invite me to a hero dick measuring contest over who's saved the world more? why don't we take a detour to "nobody cares" and you can send me some fun schematics instead
nah. one word names are mostly a villain thing in my neighborhood.
[examples: kingpin, rhino, lizard. doc ock is probably the exception rather than the rule.]
hey you were the one who wanted to see if i was good or not just trying to prove a point yeah yeah schematics coming up.
[first thing's first. a sketch of his suit. he'd been debating for awhile about colors but ultimately ended up with notes on the side saying 'stealth so probably black'. the only things that he knows for sure are that the eyepieces should be welding goggles. they're easy to obtain even in this dystopian future.]
it's just gotta function and fit well, not win awards during fashion week maybe not as heavy as a wetsuit though i've gotta be able to go from one building to the next
quake, thank you very much. but most people just call me daisy.
[ YES BITCH SHE'S A SUPER HERO ]
i didn't design my own suit, but i know a guy who might be able to help you out. if you're willing to weave the spiderweb for somebody else, come over for dinner some time and we'll figure it out
you know that they don't make silk with spider silk, right? it's made from silk worms or rather... silk worm pupae [thank you science channel, but it'd never work. low yield. high expense.]

no subject
[ tell her!!!!! she refuses to believe a "no" now anyway. ]
so you want me to alternate between trying to exhaust you with impossible tasks and what?
if you say shooting you, i'm putting you in therapy
no subject
fine. you know what? it's not like you'd be the only one who knows.
and if i can trust peggy with it, i suppose i can trust you too.

hi. i'm your friendly neighborhood spider-man.

don't shoot me.

if we're lucky, maybe i'll be that unstoppable force.
or maybe i'll just pull a muscle.
no subject
friendly seems like a stretch
do you secretly have more arms and legs tucked away somewhere?
i guess i'm just not getting the whole spider reference.
[ yes, this is the important part. ]
no subject
i'm very friendly as far as new yorkers go
geez why does everyone ask me that?
no i don't have extra appendages, i don't shoot silk from my butt.

this? kind of sucks in comparison.

no subject
we're also just blunt if we don't like you.
[whatever, everyone knows that the nicest people are from queens. one young spider person notwithstanding.]
some kind of zen thing
one with the universe, i guess
what the hell is super recycling? do you turn polyethylene into biodegradable pellets?
no subject
[ clearly new yorkers are just wrong. ]
okay first of all i don't know what poly ethel merman is
but it's more like magic lego bricks than actual recycling
i can take stuff apart, turn it into something else. toaster oven into heat stamp, that kind of thing.
no subject
we can always try again, you know, now that i'm not wearing weird shit and full of compliance drugs.
[what about cap, though, daisy?]
polyethylene. plastic. jfc.
that's... actually useful

i've just got some gear from back home that i could use
and i'm sure the list is going to get longer the more i chat with fitz...
no subject
worst case scenario, whatever i make explodes
though i should warn you that you have to bring your own parts
and i charge in food delivery
no subject
the only good thing about the neural interface is that i can beam you beautiful 3d rendered drawings that are to scale
i really hope it doesn't explode or we're gonna have a big mess on our hands
yeah well, i figured as much
i see a lot of dumpster diving in my future
i'll bring you food but you've gotta tell me what or else you're getting cricket kabobs

[ unacceptable!!! ]
if you're good, i'll show you my favorite scrapyards
people are real big into recycling here

no subject
[ rude!!! but she still takes a moment to consider the schematics before she replies again. ]
so you basically want a stealthy wetsuit with goggles?
you seriously need a fashion consultant
no subject
[he ponders that for a moment before continuing.]
it's just gotta function and fit well, not win awards during fashion week
maybe not as heavy as a wetsuit though
i've gotta be able to go from one building to the next
my old suit was more spandex than neoprene
no subject
[ YES BITCH SHE'S A SUPER HERO ]
i didn't design my own suit, but i know a guy who might be able to help you out.
if you're willing to weave the spiderweb for somebody else, come over for dinner some time and we'll figure it out
no subject
it's not like they come out of spinnerets on my body.
but yeah. i'll come over for dinner. want me to bring anything?
no subject
[ someone in new amsterdam should clearly run a spider farm. ]
jyn loves chocolate?
or a six pack of beer is fine too.
no subject
it's made from silk worms
or rather... silk worm pupae
[thank you science channel, but it'd never work. low yield. high expense.]
jyn? like small, murder in her eyes jyn?
no subject
i'm also pretty sure most people don't know that and would be easily tricked into buying special organic spider silk
[ another day, another dummy to be tricked out of a dollar: the skye handbook ]
she's my sister
no subject
[if there's anyone who could figure it out, it'd be him, but just because one can doesn't mean one should.]
you look nothing alike
no subject
if they're dumb enough to do it, they deserve to lose their money
[ millennial morality i guess ]
excuse you, i was an orphan.
