Don’t you dare! Cathy is like oxygen!

“Then what strip do you suggest cutting Ms. Gordon? Garfield stays.”

virtualbatgirl

“You could dump Hi and Lois and I don’t think anyone would miss them.”

“Brilliant. You ever consider working for the Bugle? We could use a woman of your talent.”

“Scarlet Spider?” Ororo repeated in a questioning lilt before her eyes furrowed with curiosity. “You wouldn’t happen to be the love child of Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man, would you?”

She then softened some as she gave a shrug of her shoulders. “Hard to say. Even Spider-Man has bested Wolverine, and as he likes to say he is the best at what he does. Perhaps a spider can avoid lightning.”

“I didn’t name myself, Ken Ellis at the Daily Bugle did.”

He shrugs his shoulders.

“If I WAS their love child, I wish I had Scarlet Witch’s butt. But nope, my butt is very much like Spider-Mans.”

He crouches in that Spider-Way.

“I really don’t wanna find out. Let’s just say I’m a fan and that as long as we get along is a good day for me.”

Stuck Together

The blonde smiles and plays alone to the elderly woman’s beliefs

“Don’t ruin it.” She said between her teeth.

Once passing she groans.

“What did you do?!”

“How the hell is this my fault?” he hisses at her. “If anything, this is your fault. I’m good at science, and I wouldn’t cause this problem.”

🕷 another member of the spider-curse

“I’ve been at this Superhero thing for years. I’ve held people I love in my arms as they’ve died. Secret Identities are important.”

He sighs.

“I’ll help you kid, but you have to realize that being a hero isn’t a game.”

🕷━ “you’re not the only one and stop calling me kid. i’m not much younger than this version of you.” while the scarlet-spider was right, this was dragging on far too long. getting under his skin little by little. “this ain’t my first rodeo either, i’m from an alternate universe and so is the ben we’re looking for.”

scarletwebs

“We’re looking for someone named Ben then huh?”

He guesses that it’s another version of himself, but he doesn’t wanna spill the beans. He still has a secret to keep after all.

“Alright black spider-guy, lets team up and find this guy.”

“We’re both stuck with it now, Reilly,” Kaine scowled as his laughter, “And I’m not the one wearing that dumb crop top blue sleevelesss hoodie I know you love so much.”

Ben pats the large Spider on his chest.

“I could spend an hour defending the hoodie, but right now, this me, is Spider-Man. And I’m proud of it.”

Kaine finds himself unable to answer for a moment before he finds his words, “Good. I prefer you certain of yourself over going between being Ben Reilly and Peter Parker.”

scarletwebs

“I’m happy for Pete and the life he has. With MJ and the kid and everything. He fought really hard over those five years and he deserves it. I spent those five years running away. From Peter. From you. I learned to be happy being me.”

“You deserve to be happy! And I’ve been hurt enough. I may as well be hurt for something that’s worth it. Someone that’s worth it.”

“I would love to try.” he says from under his covers. “It’s just…its just really hard. I’ve got a lot of baggage/”

fireworkvamplee

“I’m looking for baggage that goes with mine.”

scarletwebs

“Why me?” he asks, his voice strained.

fireworkvamplee

“What do you mean? You’re smart. Kind. And I just got confirmation that you’re cute as hell, too.”

scarletwebs

“I need to think about this.” he moans.

“So uh. the flaming piece of metal is the device I bet?”

Ben sighs but then he notices SP//dr and his eyes widen under the mask.

“Whoa! This reminds me of a tape I rented back home. One of those Japanese cartoons. This is so cool. You use this to fight crime?”

“Yeah well it- it’s most of it, I mean…” They can probably salvage this? Maybe. It’s not totally destroyed, just… a little bit. Mostly. There’s nothing left.

SP//dr beeps happily as it’s acknowledged, dropping the tiny fire extinguisher, and waving.

Peni knows full well what Spider-Man means by ‘Japanese Cartoons’, but lets it slide because SP//dr is smiling and nobody but villains can stay mad when SP//dr smiles. “Uh- yeah, me and SP//dr are a great team! SP//dr has the webs and the adhesive hands, and I control everything!”

scarletwebs

Ben on the other hand is from the 90s and Japanese cartoons was more of the terminology from back then.

“I’d love to examine Sp//dr some time. The technology seems fascinating.”

His stomach begins to rumble.

“So since I’m stuck here a while, do you have anything to eat? I could go for a slice right now.”

“True. You definitely don’t wanna bleach your hair too many times, or else it’ll get really fucked up. Trust me… though, you seem to know how it feels to have burnt ends. Ouch, right? Hah. You know.”

She smiled too, letting out a slight chuckle and shaking her head at the joke. At least he had a good sense of humor - not all baristas had a personality like his, or had a penchant for telling jokes. But she supposed that made the whole buying a cup of tea experience just a bit more memorable.

“My name is… uh.”

The pause was drawn out, eyes widening as she watched the acrobatic moves of the man, weaving the cup with a swan-like elegance. Truly a master at his craft, an incredible talent. Did he really have to waste his time serving cups of tea to pedestrians in the city? Come on, with skills like that he deserved better.

And just as quickly as it began, the performance was over - and Ramona was, needless to say, impressed. Her smile returned - a half-smile, however - and she brought her hands together in a very pleased clap.

“Bravo, bravo. You’ve made one Ramona Flowers very happy today with that display. And despite my predilection for sarcasm, I actually mean it this time. Where’d you learn how to do that? Don’t tell me you joined the circus in your youth or something.”

“Well...” he pauses for a second as he writes the name Ramona Flowers on the cup.

“I guess you can say I was something of a performer, yeah.”

He thinks back to when in a former life, he was a professional wrestler appearing as the masked Spider-Man. But that wasn’t really him.

“It comes naturally. Pretty much was born able to do things like that.”

He holds the cup in front of her, ready for her to take it.

“Gotta make things exciting during the grind. Pun intended. Otherwise you’d literally see my soul floating up to the sky from the sheer boredom. But ya gotta do something to get money and this works for me.”
