yo, okay, so: hear me out

maybe i am going way too west side story with this, but i've really been thinking about it and does anyone think we could make a good show of family loyalty by some kind of stand against an opposing one???

obviously we don't have to REALLY hurt each other or anything, just, kinda, make it look like it. like a flash mob only with less dancing. unless you wanna dance and i guess then i wouldn't stop you i am just not sure how many points you'd get with the big guns with dance moves. unless they're really good dance moves. or the other families seem more into that sort of thing but lionetta is kinda not that vibe just saying wait what was i saying

right. flash mob. that's like, more of an actual mob. only with fake fighting. like wwe. just maybe don't hit anybody with chairs. or maybe you can, just ask first?

y/n/peter that is a seriously terrible idea? i dunno it was just a thought and i guess now that i thought it with my earpiece in all of you have to hear it sorry about that

oh yeah my name is peter, so, uh, hi i guess.

( and with that, Peter either physically took out his ear piece or spontaneously managed to stop thinking. I don't know about you, but I'm really guessing it wasn't the second one. )

no dancing either. off limits. you will have to take both parts in our first dance too.

( he's more willing to give on the dancing than the singing, though don't expect him to be good at it. he is never gonna have this kind of moves. or this kind, for that matter. )

sorry man. i don't think you look like you're always scheming. it is pretty obvious when you are scheming tho. and sure i think baby seals are adorable, i'm just not sure that is the vibe i am going for as a 19 year old human male

i am not gonna break your hand. i might throw you over my shoulder but no hand breaking. that's not how my powers work

besides i'm not like i was when i first changed. or i don't think i am. and i really wanna know. you're pretty strong right? so you could help me figure it out

Let me get this straight. You want me to sing and dance while you just...what, watch me? You know that's not how musicals OR couples dancing is done, right?

[ Do you think Quill knew those moves when he was little? No! you learn by practicing. Roll those hips, Peter. ]

That's actually somewhat reassuring and sweet, thank you. Somewhat. It's not the worst vibe to have out there, trust me. So you're 19, uh? I wasn't sure.

--

It's funny that you say that as if throwing me around like a rag doll is going to hurt less. How do your power work, exactly? You never explained them to me. Why the spider theme? Can you actually summon spiders, call them to you, so they do your bidding and such? Because if yes, I don't want to see you do that, EVER, in front of me. And what happened when you first changed?

Ugh, fiiiine, I'll punch you in the face. But only because you asked nicely.

[ What is this conversation even. ]

i am presuming other people will watch you too. which probably makes it weirder huh

no problem. 👉👉 not the worst but i'm not sure it's the best either? and yeah, 19. is the other me older than that? younger?

i mean less than having a broken hand for sure. that happened to me once after i stopped a subway car. long story but it did hurt pretty bad. and uh, you uh, didn't hang out much with your peter parker, huh.

( because he cannot spawn a bunch of spiders from his hands, for sure. wait, can the other universe version of him do that???? )

it doesn't have to be the face. you could like, try the ribs or something. but okay, face, that's fine, beggars can't be choosers

( i don't know but it would be better if someone COULD see this because it's already a disaster )

Actually, that happened before. It helped save the Galaxy once.

You can work on it, don't worry, there's plenty of time when you're that age. I'm 38, or 43 if you count the five years I was dead, so it's all downhill for me. [ Someone doesn't take aging well. ] The other you looked like 15 or 16 years old. He also has terrible taste in movies.

Holy shit. That does sound painful. Do I want to know why you stopped a subway car? No, there wasn't really much time to chat about our lives, we were fighting a galaxy-wide war.

[ If there's a multiverse, that means there's an Spider-man out there who does that. Terrifying. ]

Your body, your choice. Just tell me where you want me to punch you. Beggars can absolutely be choosers in this case.

[ The universe clearly doesn't know how to handle two Peters combined. They end doing these things. ]

i'm not gonna count the years you were dead. you shouldn't count the years you were dead. i can't believe that's a real sentence i'm saying. ( look, Peter is 19, so, 16 wasn't that long ago. so why does that feel so long ago? he didn't even get his powers until he was 17. ) i keep waiting for it to not be weird to hear about him but i haven't gotten there yet. ...wait what do you mean bad taste in movies

because there were people inside and a russian in a giant rhino mech suit charging in the other direction. guess that wasn't really a long story after all

now i feel like i cant chicken out. has to be the face. maybe come from the side and not the front, that's the best chance. probably.

( SOMEONE STOP THIS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE )

It's pretty weird, uh? [ But Peter's reply made Quill smile, the kid's got a good heart. >He cares so much for people he just met...it's sweet. ] Ey, I understand. I won't bring him up, sorry. Oh, he didn't like Footloose! Can you believe it? That movie is great, the soundtrack??? Poetic cinema.

A russian in a giant rhino mech suit. Your life sounds incredible, I can't believe people do that in your world.

Do you remember how I threw an orange at you while you weren't expecting it, and you still caught it? It doesn't matter from what angle I try to hit you, you'll catch my punch.

[ IT'S TOO LATE INDEED. ]

footloose is an american classic, what is there not to like about it??? idk man maybe he was trying to seem cool and didn't want to admit how great it was

( that's the only thing that makes sense. though Peter has never managed to successfully feign coolness, so maybe not. that does not seem like a Peter Parker possibility. )

oh, they do. oscorp finances all sorts of strange flunkies under the table. i am not sure what they get out of it, besides tearing across new york in the mechanized rhino suit

yes, i definitely remember. and it was a dead giveaway so i have to learn to turn the spider-sense off and on. this is for a good cause, okay?

RIGHT? Yes, thank you. Gods, I knew there were many reasons why I liked you. I haven't seen that movie in decades, once we're back at the station, I need to ask Viveca if she has any movies available.

Uhhhh....weird. Maybe they're just furries who are also into transformers?

[ Quill isn't judging, whatever gets people's rock-offs is their business....okay maybe he is judging a little. Not Peter, but the sort of villains he had to face. ]

Okay...I just don't like the idea of hurting you. Other assholes I'd punch without a second thought, but you're a good kid.

[ Not exactly a kid anymore, but Peter probably gets what Quill's trying to say. ]

Edited 2021-10-04 22:24 (UTC)

that's a good idea. i'd rewatch footloose. ask her about westside story, too, while you're at it.

( he's looking forward to some downtime after the mission, as it feels like he got thrown right into things. he'd like to get to know his teammates better. though, word to the wise, PQ, Peter can sit still and watch a movie for about twenty minutes at the longest. )

you're not going to hurt me. even if you do manage to clobber me, i heal fast. i'll be okay.

i just want to have better control, that's all. i don't want to hurt anybody, either.
