you've tapped into something.......
Spidey!Langdon dropping off an injured person in the ambulance bay while Mel's taking a lava lamp breather
He doesn't like dropping off people to PTMC in the off chance someone recognizes him, but this guy has a through-and-through GSW and wasn't gonna make it to presby
Mel freaking out because ofc who doesn't love Spider-Man, and Langdon attempting to stammer out a response before going, "gotta run!" before thwiping away
There's one MCI he can't sit out (as Spider-Man). He runs to the roof, quickly changes, and heads off. Mel, curious, trails after him and is even more confused when she only finds a pile of scrubs where Langdon should be
She confronts him about it later, as does Robby bc where did his best resident go when they needed him most? Robby accepts his half-assed "I started vomiting profusely" lie, but Mel doesn't drop it. She's pestering him for weeks
One day after a shift, Mel gets robbed on her way to pick up Becca. Obviously, spidey!Langdon saves the day, and Mel recognizes his voice. "Frank???"
When he sits her down, a lot of things start to make sense. The Red Bull diet, his marital problems that started long before rehab, his dependence on the painkillers to keep saving the city
Mel recognizes that he's trying to juggle it all. "Is there any way I can help??" And thus begins a beautiful partnership (Mel listening to police scanners on her days off, patching up his suit, patching up him when he comes back, especially battered up and bruised)
Instead of avoiding PTMC, now he only drops people off there for Dr. Mel King, who's conveniently waiting at the ambulance bay. Almost as if someone had texted her in advance.
