“Really, this again Peter? You’re beginning to sound like you have a mega-crush on her, and you’ve never even seen her face.”
Gwen hadn’t anticipated that she would need to play defense this early in the morning. But as time passed Peter was growing more and more obsessed with the idea of spider-woman that nearly all of their conversations veered into the subject. Gwen was good at keeping the secret at this point, with nearly a year of practice and no one the wiser, but his incessant chatter on the subject was making her hyper aware. She was conscious not just of the fact he may discover the truth, but of his habit of getting the in the way and putting himself in danger. Additionally, she was now conscious of every move she made as Spiderwoman, because she knew it would be under the scrutinous eye of the keen young reporter. She was trying to be patient.
“She could be really ugly under the mask, you don’t know.”
HE had a habit. a particular one of launching into tirades. whatever it be about science. useless movie trivia & or puns. science. the avengers. science. the avengers again. & now spider woman. just an endless digression from their original conversation. a complete detour. babbles galore. right in the middle of a previous engagement. say a quick study session before a ' surprise quiz '.
just one of his quirks huh?
“ or she could be totally cool !” peter shrugged. too quick to come to the new hero on the scene’s defense. oh sorry heroine ! all about the girl power. so he defended her, all in between chewing the tip of his pencil’s eraser.
“ i just think you & mr. jameson might be wrong about her. taking on queens she’s doing a pretty good job all things considered .” oh boy ! he was into deep. “ i don’t know gwen, there’s just something special about her. ugly or not .”
