[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?

[He's actually not sure if he is - he hasn't done too much with his powers since, you know. The thing.
But if he's going to try to make an effort here, he has to actually make an effort. He knows how hard it was for Bond to reach out to him like that, and he's not planning on just throwing it away.]
Now?
