there are a lot of perks to being spider-man, there really are. and peter is grateful for every single one of them, he promises. but there are times, like now, when he wishes that certain things would just…leave him alone. because there’s a robbery happening in the jewellery store across the street and no one knows except peter. and it’s not like he can just do nothing about it, alright? sure, it’s the middle of the day, but come on.
he moves fast, ducks into an alleyway, and he’s in the spideysuit in record time, he moves back out, moves fast. he’s against the side of a car, moves down the row until he’s in front of the store. except when he pokes his head up, the car isn’t empty. actually, there’s a dude in the car, with headphones in, and peter flinches in surprise. c’mon spidey-sense, work!
he taps on the window carefully to catch the guy’s attention and then tilts his head. ❛ hey, how’s it goin’? ❜ he’s stage-whispering for no apparent reason, the eyes of the mask widening slightly as he looks around the guy for a second, towards the store. ❛ you should probably get outta here man. it’s about to go bad for someone soon, and it’d probably be better if it wasn’t you. ❜
he doesn’t wait for a response. instead, he rises a little, and starts to climb over the top of the car. hopefully, when by the time he gets into the store, the guy’ll be gone. // @quietdrives && call !!
baby left atlanta a while ago. things went sideways with bats and baby barely made it out, but at least no one got hurt and doc had connections in new york. he misses joe and debora, but he figures they’re better off without him in the long run, especially since it seems like he’s never going to pay off doc.
he’s spacing out while his newest crew robs a jewelry store, something very new, a job doc’s never asked for. banks tended to be their go to in georgia, and he figured new york would be the same, but apparently not. he’s gently hitting the steering wheel along to the beat in his headphones when a tapping on the window gets his attention and he looks over. he flinches as he sees a masked figure and tugs an earbud out, expecting... something that isn’t a human voice. he looks over toward the store then back to the guy.
when the stranger starts climbing onto the car, it’s safe to say that baby panics and immediately hits the gas, accelerating fast before slamming on the brakes, hoping to through him off.
