So, uh, kinda late to ask I guess, but does anyone know a loudmouth reporter who hates Spider-Man? Because I'm pretty sure I got one of my counterparts - or like, future-me or something - fired back when the network freaked out. [And he sounds pretty guilty about it. Like, seriously.] Totally an accident.

[He's serious, he has no idea who this guy is or why he was screaming about needing pictures on his desk, Chris you told him he was a science teacher when he grows up.]

And while we're on that subject - sort of - if anyone needs a hand keeping out of trouble or anything, I'm pretty sure I can help.

Just, you know, if anyone's interested. [He'll be running around keeping an eye on things anyway.]

[Filtered to Friends - if you think you're on it, you're on it]

That goes double for you guys. Don't do anything stupid.

[Peter's not always great at following his own advice. He's not going to do anything super stupid, and can be found milling about the market trading some of the stuff he's had lying around his room for food and stuff without causing any trouble, but...

Once the market's all wrapped up, he can also be found wandering around keeping an eye on other Barge folk. He's not stalking you, honest! He's just keeping an eye out for any trouble to swoop in as needed. With or without his ridiculously loud costume on.

Probably without. A bright red and blue full body suit sticks out like a sore thumb pretty much anywhere.]

How old am I supposed to be?

[mistconduct]

As old as you are now. I'm just thinking...y'know. Down the line, eventually.

[myresponsibility]

Well don't worry, I wasn't even planning on letting people here in on the big secret. Stuff just kind of... happened.

[mistconduct]

Yeah. Shit happens. I know the feeling.

At least here you can make Admiral deals to make sure no one ever finds out unless you tell them.

[myresponsibility]

Yeah. That's actually a really good idea.

[mistconduct]

I'm full of 'em lately.

But at least then you wouldn't have to worry about constantly protecting your secret identity. That shit can get tiring real fast.

[myresponsibility]

Yeah, honestly I'm already a little afraid too many people know.

[mistconduct]

Yeah, that's a good fear. That sort of shit keeps you alive.

[myresponsibility]

That's comforting.

[mistconduct]

Well, it defines you, anyway. Your enemies are way smarter than your average villains. I guess it comes with all of you being dumb nerdy scientists.

[myresponsibility]

Oh god, they're all like Dr. Connors?

[mistconduct]

Some of them!


...A lot of them.


Sorry, Pete. You must just attract the smart ones.

[myresponsibility]

Any chance I can just hide out here forever?

[mistconduct]

With your luck? They'd probably start showing up here.

[myresponsibility]

Great.

[mistconduct]

Sorry, Pete. But with great power....?

[myresponsibility]

[There is a very long pause while he waits for you to go on.]

... With great power what?

[mistconduct]

...



Who are you?

[myresponsibility]

What did I do?

[mistconduct]

Oh, nothing, Petey, not a thing. Just killed my soul a little, but it's cool, I'll get over it.

[myresponsibility]

Why? I'm not a telepath, Chris.

[mistconduct]

No, no, it's fine. I just have to go cry for a little while now.

[myresponsibility]

Sorry?

[mistconduct]

Say it with me;

With great power comes great responsibility.

[myresponsibility]

With great power comes great responsibility?
