Nah it wouldn't have worked out anyway. If she didn't divorce me over the getting arrested bit she'd divorce me for wearing vintage biker outfits and shrinking.
Which is, you know, fair. No-one needs to stress out over shrinking dudes.
Something about "the cost of doing the right thing"? "Love them enough to let them go"? There're so many crappy sayings about this kinda hero stuff, honestly.
Okay, ouch. If you want, maybe I could take a look at those calculations. I mean I'm not Mr. Stark but I did make my webs and my first webshooters all on my own.
My mask has some impact resistant stuff woven in thanks to Mr. Stark but I can take more punishment than most people ever since I...became Spider-Man. Harder for me to get a concussion.

I know. Stuff like not missing dates and listening and being there for them. And more.
I uh, I'm sorry things went bad like that.

I've run into the hero thing messing up stuff too. Seems like it takes either another hero or someone really understanding to make it all work.

When I grew big that one time something horrible tore. Hurt like a bitch and also became proof that I haven't perfected it yet.
You know, you're a lot more mature than you get credit for.
no subject
Thanks. It's all just a masterful act though.
no subject
Y'know, I might actually take you up on that offer. So long's you promise you don't actually touch the suit or the secret juice that makes it work.
no subject
Of course. No modifications without permission. I was just thinking another set of fresh eyes might spot something you missed.
And I want to check out some cool tech. So win-win.
no subject
Wait really?

But you know, I think concussions are just par for the course for us normal guys at this point.

I mean, besides the--you stick to walls, right? That's not your suit, right?
Is it your suit?
Do you SECRETE sticky stuff?
no subject
No. All my suit does is make me look cooler than a scrawny nerd and hide my ID. Other than my webs, it was all me.
no subject
( and that's all scott can manage for a moment, both his eyes wide and blinking. )
I'll take you out to dinner no problem, but holy shit.
You stick to walls!
no subject
Walls, ceilings, pretty much anything I want to really.
no subject
And yeah, yeah I'll take you to dinner. If you'll be helping me with my calculations I figure it's only right.
no subject
This is sounding better and better. Cool science and free food.

If I told your Aunt May I was with Mr. Stark, would she believe me?
Or would she think of me as the VistaCorp sociopath?
no subject
Uh, it's probably better you let me handle talking to her. Not sure how much she followed the whole thing about VistaCorp.
