@octraveler asked: “Just act normal. Don’t do anything suspicious, and they’ll never know.”

------

Every now and then, Peter found himself in a weird, possibly dangerous situation. Okay so he found himself in that kind of situation a lot, but usually it was when he was wearing spandex and not when he was just walking along the street. Very casually, and definitely ignoring but keeping tabs on the van ominously trailing after him half a block back. The one that had been since he’d left campus grounds. Either this woman was very observant or in on it, because Oscorp was a lot of things but sloppy and obvious weren’t on the list.

He wasn’t sure he could really show his hand and make it clear he already knew about the van either, which put him in the awkward position of acting surprised and nodding along. Following her lead instead. And hey, maybe he was lucky and she really was just trying to help.

“Yeah…I think I can handle that.” he agreed, keeping walking and not looking over his shoulder. Mostly because Peter could still feel them watching his back, making his skin crawl and the hairs on his arms stand on end. Could sense it, and it was a familiar though not constant feeling by now. Buzzing and humming in the background of everything else. In part, it was also because he was just told to act normal and looking over his shoulder like he was paranoid or worried about something was the exact opposite of that. What he did do, was glance over at the stranger, “So…who are you?”

[ inbox // dd: cutting edge ] ⸻ @octraveler ⸻ "Once again, it's all the fault of the guy in the tights, jeez." - For Karen?

❝ Don't take it personally. ❞

This was something that she had heard all before. Blame the guy in the tights there were countless news articles citing that sentiment. Famously one of the broader city's papers, the Bugle's editor JJJ, could spin anything as a blame on Spider-man or anyone wearing a similar suit. Her own work place was guilty of the occasional implications. The editor-in-chief tried to avoid that, Karen would raise complaint about an article that came off as blamey. Yet she knows she's no more innocent of doing that too, once or twice.

❝ People don't like the unknown, not having answers. Someone always need to be responsible. ❞ The fault being at the guy in the suit is normally the easiest reach. Most couldn't, wouldn't, commenent back. Not easily. ❝ They don't want to look inwards toward themself and think maybe they are to blame. ❞

@octraveler asked: ❛ you have a very different definition of fun. ❜

------

A hand was waved from where he was doubled over panting for air, “Yeah…I kinda get that a lot.” it was also always said with sarcasm when Peter called anything like running for their lives fun. Though he had to admit, the whole sneaking in somewhere and ruining plans while getting a good look at what those plans were? It was kinda fun to do now. The longer he was Spider-Man, the more fun he had being his masked self. With the number of people who shot at him or tried to pick a fight, or started setting off bombs along the foundation of a building he was still inside, it might not look like he should though.

That didn’t change the fact, and he had stopped worrying about it a while ago. So he didn’t.

Straightening up slightly, Peter looked back at Liv, “I said I would try and help you out, right? This is me helping.” he paused and gestured back to the still smoking building, “Okay this is me helping and other people not being happy that I’m helping, because it kinda involved finding out about them and getting some information. But the gunfight was totally not my fault.” it wasn’t like he was going to stand there, or crouch as the case was, and watch some worker from nearby get hurt just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. And he definitely didn’t know that they had the place rigged the explosives, either, “...you okay?”

@octraveler asked: “  who  did  this  to  you  ?  ” - For the Peter of your choice?

------

New York saw no shortage of criminals. Basically ever, that was probably why there were so many vigilantes and heros running around the city. They were still outnumbered but they did their best, that was kind of the whole point. That was the whole reason Peter started doing this, trying to make his own difference for his neighborhood, and then the city itself. Sometimes it was helping someone move furniture in and out of a truck, sometimes it was stopping a robbery.

Today it was a guy with a scorpion tail robbing an armored truck carrying new, fancy poisons to try and make a new fancier poison.

"....if I say it looks way worse than it actually is, would you believe me?" he tried, heaving himself up onto the railing and wincing as something strained that really shouldn't be at this point. Peter wasn't sure if it was his leg, his side, or one of his bones. Either way, most of his left side was suddenly in pain until he was able to ease off and sit in a way that only caused mild discomfort. There were tears in his suit, but at least he'd stopped bleeding. He was pretty sure he stopped bleeding, he wasn't sure if Olivia believed that or if it was general, overall concern for his current appearance.

"Because it is. Seriously, I've had so much worse than this and then had to go take a physics test. This is going to be healed up at the end of the day. Just don't ask me to fight a supervillain for an hour if that's an option."
