❝ well yeah, there’s a few comics here and there. though- with this whole world thing i’ve heard he’s you know- real- wonder if he you know- actually feels like steel ? can you prod him and break a finger ?? is he kinda like thor ?? ❞ peter knows he should probably focus elsewhere but having scene the heroes walking the streets- he just really wants to meet them all. he can almost hear someone yelling nerd at him from a distance. probably mj. ❝ who- wait a minute, pause- rewind, record scratch- as family ?! duuuuuude, you can’t just casually slip that into conversation holy- ❞ he blinks wide eyes at the man before him. ❝ that’s too high of a risk because someone is bound to be in the water. he can’t check all the water and what if someone falls in just as he’s about to freeze it. also where would it go ? wouldn’t it just melt again ? superman would have to keep freezing it constantly and summers coming up. ❞ a laugh slips free and he takes a mock bow. ❝ always here to provide the sane. but also couldn’t he like- fly around the earth, reverse time and then set stuff up to prevent the high levels of water to begin with ? cover the street in sponges, open up ditches to lead the water away, create blockages. ❞
“ i’ve hugged that man and he’s either really, really toned, or it’s the steel. i’m friends with his cousin- he once called me a genius, it’s probably still the best day of my life- and i’ve been to space!” winn’s bouncing on the balls of his feet like a kid, knowing he’s showing off slightly. the teenager reminds him of himself at that age - or himself now - only without the childhood trauma. “dude, yes! i’m not- but officially, nope, i know nothing. you can call me jon snow- if you want. i’m actually called winn, though. nice to meet you, kid!” he’s talking at a speed that he would definitely be called out on if he was presenting information in the deo. this is how he gets when he’s excited, and it’s so nice to just be excited, even with all that’s going on around him. “i know supergirl from work, but we’re- y’know, we grab coffee. it’s fun, it’s chilled, she’s a friend.” something that the boy said before strikes him, “do you know thor? like, personally? is he as handsome up close because he’s- wow. i’ve seen photos.” back to the planning, he grins. “oh my god, kid, you’re a genius. you’re literally- do you have a job? cause i could get you a job. i think i could. i could try, i could definitely try. aren’t there heroes who can open portals and stuff? they could portal the water to abandoned places where no-one could get hurt, stuff like that. i mean, i helped fix a portal to an alien planet once, that’s an option. i could probably do that again if i get approval from my boss.”
