@devilsdefense // nwh/post nwh based sc. (CLOSED)
THOUGH IT’S LEFT HIM FRANTIC SINCE THE BROADCAST, panic taking root in his chest as he watched the stories on the news unfold, watched his life begin to fall apart— his wrists in cuffs he could easily break out of ( but doesn’t, they ALREADY think he’s dangerous as is ), unfair interrogations directed not only towards himself, but those around him— Peter doesn’t think the full GRAVITY of his situation hits him until he’s sat across his lawyer. Matt Murdock. It’s not like Peter knows much ( or, well, anything ) about law, but May sure seems confident about him, and at this point, Peter will take ALL the help he can get. His stomach has been in knots for days, only worsening with how difficult proving himself innocent seems to get.
— Will his life EVER be even slightly similar to how it was again?
“Um— Mr. Murdock, sir? Uh...” The right words are lost on him almost immediately, everything weighing too heavy to truly describe. His leg bounces fast underneath the table, hands on its surface hardly exempt from that anxious fidgeting either. “Thank you, first of all. For helping me like this. I know it’s— a lot, probably a really big case right now.” Definitely, with how much the entire WORLD is talking about him. “And I don’t really know what to do so I appreciate this a lot— but... that’s kinda WHAT I was gonna ask? How does this... work? I mean, where are we going from here? I have to prove myself innocent somehow, right?”
