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.

Thanks. It's all just a masterful act though.

[tictacs]

"Masterful act" my ass. You're a good kid, Peter. Don't sell yourself short!

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.

[websandquips]

If you insist, I'll admit I try my best.

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.

[tictacs]

Oho, so you think the Ant-Man suit is cool? Hahahahah

Wait really?

[websandquips]

Are you kidding? The whole shrinking and growing thing and not just doing it to yourself but other stuff too? It's awesome!

[tictacs]

It's not so awesome when you count how many concussions I had trying to master it.

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

[websandquips]

Maybe you should look into some kind of padding or reinforcements in that helmet of yours.

[tictacs]

Because your helmet is so padded.

[websandquips]

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.

[tictacs]

Your superpowers?

/Dude/.

[websandquips]

What about them?

[tictacs]

Your superpowers gave you super defence?

[websandquips]

I'm not sure I'd call it super, but I am a lot harder to hurt than the average teenager.

[tictacs]

Okay, what else did it give you?

I mean, besides the--you stick to walls, right? That's not your suit, right?

Is it your suit?

Do you SECRETE sticky stuff?

[websandquips]

Jeez, asking about secretions before the first date.

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.

[tictacs]

Holy shit, Peter.

( 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!

[websandquips]

Seriously?

Walls, ceilings, pretty much anything I want to really.

[tictacs]

That is amazing. Have you figured out your limits, or is there no limit to that stuff?

And yeah, yeah I'll take you to dinner. If you'll be helping me with my calculations I figure it's only right.

[websandquips]

Not yet but Mr. Stark has me doing all sorts of training to figure out some of it.

This is sounding better and better. Cool science and free food.

[tictacs]

I am a way better host than you give me credit for.

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?

[websandquips]

Oh really?

Uh, it's probably better you let me handle talking to her. Not sure how much she followed the whole thing about VistaCorp.

[tictacs]

You trying to tell me there's a genuine reason you could leave Queens and come to San Francisco?

[websandquips]

Well, I left Queens and ended up in Germany. And frequently leave Queens to head up to the Avengers compound.

[tictacs]

Am I allowed to ask what you tell her?

[websandquips]

She thinks I'm part of one of Mr. Stark's educational programs for bright young minds of the future.
