[So, Peter's actually been back for a while by now. More than a month. And he never really got around to announcing... that... Publicly, anyway. And while most people have probably seen him wandering around, looking a little older and a hell of a lot sadder since the last time he was here, and even more glued to Gwen Stacy's side than usual, he still feels like maybe this is a necessary step.
Forgive her, and forgive yourself James had said. Maybe it's time to start trying that.
So he still looks a little weird and hollow eyed when he turns on the video feed, but he looks less so than he has. A little more actively engaged in what's going on around him.]
This is Peter. Parker. [He clears his throat, hoping now more than ever that no one tries to tell him he's Spider-Man, or that they'd read about him and looked up to him and thought he was a hero.]
I came back a couple weeks ago, I'm a warden. And I guess I kind of never got around to this, so. Hi.
[This is harder than he'd thought it would be.]
I've been here for almost two years? [He says it like he's not sure, because time can be hard to keep track of when you get booted home and come back a week later, even though it's been a long, long time for him.] I help out in maintenance, and I hang around the lab sometimes, so if you want to do something with that, let me - or one of the other guys, I guess - know.
[And that seems like the end of what he has to say. Except...]
And I guess I play lacrosse now?

[Shhh Peter, she doesn't know that she's awesome at it yet.]
No, but I do like to watch.
[That might have come out a little wrong, so she adds,] Lacrosse. I like to watch lacrosse.

[He's been too depressed to function, so being there at all has been kind of a challenge.
But he's working on changing that!]

My first inmate just left. He graduated forever ago, but. [He shrugs, not sure where he's going with this, but he already misses James a lot.]
no subject
I thought the Admiral fulfills your bargain if your inmate graduates and he lets you go. Or did you just decide to stay on and make a new deal?
no subject
And I might need more.
no subject
It sounds like you'll be here awhile.
no subject
It's not so bad, sometimes.
