I do hope we've done stuff like watch a movie together, even if just on Netflix, cook her dinner at least once, etc.

She wasn't even on the list of people to hang out with over the timeskip which is kind of worrying.

Pack up the Hard Drive. Now that it's finished decrypting it can wait until we have a better oportunity to look it over without the potential for someone to walk in and see what's on it.

Incidently Cos, I both love and hate your quests. On one hand they're awesome, and on the other it keeps making me want to try my hand myself, so I keep thinking up storyline or mechanics elements.

basically, becoming spiderman so young stunted Peter Parker's academic potential.

Yes, when she was all Cat'd out she heard our conversation with Felicia about possibly being infectious, how the spider bit us first, then her, then how both of us wouldn't be able to have normal lives if we were.

Felicia knows Gwen's secret.

Gwen does not know, but probably only needs less than 5 minutes of serious extrapolation to figure out Felicia's secret.

Oh good; we haven't gotten too far into the quest. Time to park my ass and keep my index finger glued to the F5 key.

I was half-expecting my quest to still be up, but I guess I was probably right when I said that interest in it waned during my impromptu hiatus. Still gonna make sure it's finished, though. For now, PPQ beckons...

So while we're waiting, anyone care to play the "what's Mary Jane's deal" game?

And Carnage.

And Venom.

Along with absolutely everyone else.

>>28936570
DOOM shall state the obvious: This Mary Jane is a maiden that suffered a lifetime of abuse, domestic violence and abandonment, and this led to her being socially isolated.
DOOM excuses himnself, for DOOM will now go cry in a corner.

>>28936582
Wouldn't be surprised if she was smart. And could be cute if she took care of herself. Or was cute on Halloween. Probably has a lot of "activities" as well, "spree killer" possibly one of them.

You know, I never did think about who Stella's biological mother was.

>>28936606
Nope, definitely not a murderer. You shouldn't look at her for that.

>>28936629
To be honest, I'm pretty sure for Lokis, gender is a matter of personal preference.

Like if Stella was raised different, she'd instead pretty much be Kid Loki.

Look, no asylum that is anywhere near approval with the American Psychological Association would EVER accept a monster like Joker for treatment. It's unthinkable.

DOOM is pleased.

While a nap sounds lovely and you’d rather just spend forever with this hard drive, its probably best to pack it away. Spending a few moments, you set the computer back to normal and hide anything that relates to your secret activities.

Yawning, you quickly head upstairs and greet Uncle Ben and Stella- Aunt May is over at the Watsons for the moment. You take a moment to see that Uncle Ben is showing her his Bob Ross VHS again before you head upstairs to freshen up- watching that man is a deathtrap to being awake to you right now. Grabbing a shower and trying to make yourself not look like death warmed over, you succeed in merely looking like you’re somewhat tired.

Heading back downstairs in clean clothes, you glance at the clock- it’s just past nine-thirty. There’s some decorations up here and there, but things haven’t been finished- since you normally use the dining table for thanksgiving, it usually isn’t bothered with, however as there will (probably) be more guests, you might as well try to help out.

Uncle Ben waves at you over as you sit down. “Good thing you’re up, sport. May’d have a cow if you’re still sleeping. Anyway, we need to assemble the larger dining table, so we’ll have to grab it from the garage.”

“Sounds good!”

It takes a little bit of time as you help your uncle dust off and assemble the table in the cleared area of the living room before chairs are placed down- according to your uncle there needs to be twelve chairs in total. When the two of you have finally set up the table, you smile in nostalgia.

This table used to be used every Thanksgiving- you remember your father and Uncle Ben always dragging it out and assembling it as you’d wait around to hang out with Eddie- he was older but he always tolerated you being around considering the holiday. Brushing your hands off, you smile at the table- it’s nice to see it used again, it hadn’t been used again since your parent’s deaths.

>>28936981
Ah, alright. Well, just to let you know, if you need to rest, go ahead. You've been pumping these out hardcore, and I don't want to see you get burned out on PPQ.

>>28937007
Your Uncle has a melancholic expression as he sits back down and stares at the table- Stella’s looking at the both of you, a somewhat lost expression on her face. “What’s with the table?”

Your uncle ruffles her hair as his normally jolly smile returns. “Well, Stella, this table’s an old Parker Family tradition The men would set up everything, the kids would play together, and the women-folk of the Parkers would kick the men out of the kitchen and threaten us with giant spoons if we entered.”

The two of you reflect in bittersweet memories before Ben claps his hands to destroy the mood. “Well then, everything’s set up, barring silverware, so let’s go ahead and watch some television, alright?”

Turning on television in hopes of seeing some thanksgiving programming, your uncle begins to flip channels, settling on the news for a few moments. This one’s bugle affiliated as you see discussion of whether or not a Spider-man balloon would show up, considering your minor celebrity status, which leads into discussions of the ‘Scarlet Spider’ as the Bugle refers to the few, very blurry images of Gwen in costume-

Interestingly enough, there was an interesting division of terms- unlike when you introduced yourself, Gwen had no such luck for an identity. Jameson, alliterative and catchy as his goal, came up with the ‘Scarlet Spider,’ while their rival insists on ‘Spider-girl.’ Actually, when you asked her on it, Gwen admitted she’s pretty embarrassed by both, but she admitted she’d rather not be referred to as ‘girl’ when she’s almost an adult.

You’ve been sitting and explaining things about thanksgiving during the news, but it seems like your Aunt has returned in the meantime. Looking over at the table, she seems almost about to cry before wiping at her eyes and heading towards the kitchen.

“The guests will be here starting at around noon, everyone. Anna and Mary Jane will be helping me, but they’ll be coming in from out back.”

She pauses and stares sternly at you and Uncle Ben. “You two know the rule, so if you enter the kitchen before dinner you’re eating out on the porch.”

Admonished, the two of you quickly look to see what else is on before you stop your Uncle.

“Wait- the previous channel!”

You freeze as ‘Stark Press Conference’ is on the news, there’s a man in the suit speaking as Tony Stark waits next to him.

“-and now, Mr. Stark has prepared a statement. He will not be taking questions, thank you.”

He steps off to the side as Tony Stark walks in front of the microphones on the podium.

“First of all, I’d like to apologize for delaying your thanksgiving, I’m sure the rest of you all have families you’d like to be with. Anyway, Been a while since I was in front of you. I figure I'll stick to the cards this time.”

He clears his throat as he taps some note cards before looking down at them before looking back at the reporters.

“There's been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on the freeway and the rooftop…”

A female report stands up as attention focuses on her. “I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, but do you
honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, - despite the fact that you…”

Stark raises a hand to cut her off.

“- I know that it's confusing. It is one thing to question the official
story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I'm a superhero.”

The report smirks. “I never said that you were a superhero.”

Stark looks surprised for a moment before he tries to regain ground. “Didn't? Well, good, because that would be outlandish and… fantastic.”

Stark’s trying to regain his momentum, but he’s stumbling bad.

“I'm just not the hero type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made-largely public…”

The man nest to him leans in and whispers to Stark for a moment before moving back as Stark takes a deep breath.

“Yeah, okay. Yeah.”

He looks down at his cards, prepared to read them, but you notice his hesitation. There’s something that’s keeping him from reading them.


“The truth is…”

He grimaces as you lean forward. Stark looks at the card before tossing them over his shoulder.

“I am Iron Man.”

You stare at the TV as the press conference is quickly ended as reporters cut back to studio and discuss- images of two robots- one large, imposing and silver against another humanoid one that’s red and gold as there’s scattered footage of them fighting before one image of Stark Industry’s arc reactor blowing sky high.

Even the commentators are still reeling as news updates itself as there’s an image of Tony Stark from the conference just now alongside the red and gold robot. Or armor.

Iron Man.

Tony Stark has a robot suit.

To your side, you notice that Uncle Ben let’s out an impressed whistle.

>>28937277
The world is changing very fast. People are getting super powers, aliens are coming, superscience is becoming something every Tom Dick and Harry has access to to push their own agendas, and Peter Parker is right in the middle of it. Every powermad corporate giant, military futurist, and forward thinking criminal is going to start coming out of the woodwork and making life far more dangerous.

>>28937314
I said the second line, not the first about the masquerade

>>28937312
Well there's Oscorp out for our head (for the spider deal and for the equipment). And if Osborn finds out we know of what he did to Pete's parents...

>>28937291
Stop fucking saying it's a giant robot you fucking retards. Peter isn't as stupid as you, he'd know that a superscience suit the size of a person is not the same as a Gundam or any other giant robot.
>>28937314
You expected anything more?
>>28937329
>choosing how Peter Parker thinks

>>28937356
Iron Monger counts as Giant Robot size, definitely not a Gundam, but still on the mecha scale somewhere around Patlabor.

>>28937192
But what about College?

>>28937384
After college?

>>28937384
You think Stark Industries is going to vanish in 5 years? No way. We're planning long-term.
If not that, we'll try for an internship with their New York division.

>>28937384
1) Stark Industries will still be there in five years.
2) Internships or work study are always possible.

>>28937384
We will still go to college. Its just some where to work after we get our degree in... engineering i guess

>>28937377
Iron Man is on the scale of things like Guyver and the Tekkamen though (although the Tekkamen are in a weird place - they're actually fairly big for power armor guys, but fairly small for robots)

Could we just rush an engineering degree or something? I assume Skilled Engineer is at least the equivalent of that, what with it being the second last engineering skill.

>>28937413
Agreed whole heartedly, Iron Man is on the same scale as Guyver & Bubblegum Crisis.

However the Iron Monger suit that Obidiah was trucking around in last night was still 2.5 stories tall. Powered Armor vs Mecha was last night, and the news clips are glorious.

Peter is probably staring at the footage intently trying to figure out the how.

>>28937447
It's easy to find out. Scan the Arc Reactor blueprint we have, send him an email
"Dear Mr. Stark,
Look what I have. We should talk about job opportunities.
Sincerely,
Peter Parker.

PS. Ever think of adding webs?"

>>28937486
That's retarded on a number of levels.

I'd say all of them.

>>28937486
We'll need a better approach than that.

You're an idiot.

>>28937486

>>28937505

>>28937521
>Fling ourselves onto the Stark Tower and wash his window, then demand payment

Nothing. It'd get his attention. That's the hard part.

>>28937538
>>28937547
Try to our own arc reactor and send it to him?
"Unemployed genius teenage superhero, help please?"

>>28937521
That is very hard to predict what will happen, he might consider us small time since he (at this time) thinks as a one man show.

Not to mention the possiblity of Shield having his back

>>28937552
How is getting his attention difficult? You are objectively wrong.

We can't make it from a box of scraps.

We need actual things.

Tony's Engineering skill is Epic Level, just like Felicia's Bluff and Disguise skill.

>>28937575
So how would you do it as Peter Parker without telling him you're Spider-Man?

>>28937568
Not saying to actually do it, just saying if we wanted his attention.

Honestly, it might be better to help save his butt at the Stark Expo.

>>28937585
Mask and gauntlets. We felt it was too rude to ask.

>>28937595

We work seperately

Seems like a large leap to make unless we do some serious research.
