Awkwardly excusing yourself, you make your way to your tent. You hear the lowered voices within suddenly cease as you draw closer, poking your head in through the front flap. Laura is sitting with her legs crossed on one side of the tent, her torn jeans lying in a heap beside her. Noriko sits on the other side, apparently talking to her, though… all communication appears to have ceased as of now.

They both stare at you for a moment, and very briefly you entertain the thought that Laura was teaching the other girl to go deadpan, because that’s how they both look.

“Um… hi.” Clearing your throat, you edge a little further into the tent. “I was just wondering… uh… was there anything back from the other guys? On meeting up?”

Noriko glances back at Laura briefly before answering.

“Yeah, sure. Six o’clock tonight.” She pauses briefly, and makes a sort of rolling, noncommittal shrug. “Corsairs and Hisako’s people, anyway. Dunno if the other guys’ll show.”

Right.

The three of you sit there in silence for a moment, a long, nervous knot slowly bunching itself up at the core of your stomach, before Noriko rises jerkily to her feet.

“Well, anyhow, I’ll… be out of your way.” She edges around you, leaving the tent. “I think I’ll, y’know, see what the others are up to. And stuff.”

A thought strikes you, turning you about as she slinks away from the tent.

“Hey!” You call out after her, leaning back. “There were these guys from some charity hanging around outside. Mind keeping an eye out for them?”

Noriko nods quickly – so quickly, in fact, that you’re not sure she even heard you.

“Sure. I’ll just… keep an eye out.”

You turn back to Laura. Her stare bores into you, silent and oddly pointed.

“Hey.” You say, grinning awkwardly. You sort of feel like her eyes are constantly putting you on your back foot. “I got you some jeans. Since, y’know…”

You glance down at the pile of torn fabric beside Laura.

She follows your gaze momentarily, before nodding quietly. Nothing comes out of her mouth until you move a little further into the tent.

“Megan and her friends will be disappointed.” She states, her tone neutral. “They were looking forward to taking me shopping.”

You frown slightly. Megan doesn’t seem like bad person, but you can’t really be sure you trust her tastes. You can’t be sure that ‘shopping’ actually means shopping when the Corsairs are involved, too.

“…Did you want to go?”

She thinks about it for a moment.

“Maybe.”

“Well…” Why do you feel so uncomfortable? “You still can.”

Laura nods silently in response. There is a long minute or so of deathly quiet before you raise your voice.

“So, uh, I’m still not sure how this thing works…” You say, holding up your tech-gloved hand. “Seems neat, though.”

She moves a little closer, looking at it.

“I saw what it did to that creature.” Eddie. That reminds you, you still haven’t heard from Peter… “Hardlight projection, perhaps. How did you operate it?”

“I dunno, I just thought about what I wanted, I guess.”

She nods, as if that makes sense.

“Then think about what you want now.”

no specific DC, it was just roll

Since their is no dc for this dose that mean best of 3 no matter what

>>42168172
I imagine they cancel each other out, leaving us with the last vote of 2.

That or we get something epic, with a downside.

>>42168172
generally they cancel each other out so we use the 2, which is essentially the same as a 1 in a low stakes situation like this

>>42168172
They cancel eachother out and the noncrit roll is the one taken.

So we got a 2.

You attempt to will a shield into existence, the glove begins to contort before it violently lets off sparks, you begin to feel a strange sensation as the glove changes shape, a feeling that quickly turns to pain as you are violently pulled into the glove.

>(Part 1/2)

You focus on what you want. This necessitates closing your eyes, because Laura currently isn’t wearing any pants, and what you want when Laura isn’t wearing pants is pretty different to what you want generally.

Last time you made a sort of shield come out, so you try that again, etching out the image in your mind. Circular, curved, protective. Impenetrable.

You feel a slight sting at the back of your hand, like a tiny set of mandibles sinking through your skin, and the whole glove starts to warm up. You open your eyes.

The shield is there – not red white and blue, but pretty convincingly solid, comprised out of a pulsing teal light that seems to ripple outward from the center of the glove. It even has the star on the front. You turn your arm over, marveling at the lightshow-replica, but before you can take it all in its shape begins to seethe at its edges and distort, losing coherence.

>(2/2)

The air crackling around it, it buckles and collapses, diffusing outward into little more than a lingering glow. Try as you might, you can’t seem to get the thing to work again.

Maybe you overtaxed it?

“Huh.”

“A shield.” Says Laura, a little curiously.

“Y-yeah.” Captain America’s shield, specifically. You wonder if she noticed. Seems kinda childish in hindsight. You swallow, and roll your shoulders, winding yourself up. You just had a thought. “I can think of a few other things I want, though. And I doubt this thing could give me them.”

You lean closer, resting your palm on Laura’s naked thigh, her softness travelling up your arm like a wave of heat. She stares up at you, her heart beginning to beat harder, and –

“Where did you go last night?”

Uh. Wha–

It takes you a moment to reorganize your brain into talking mode.

“Oh, I… I…” You can’t seem to say it aloud. You know you didn’t kill him – not with your hands – but it’s… still something you can’t help but be a little ashamed of.

“It was something dangerous.” States Laura, very plainly not asking questions anymore. “You went alone, too. Don’t do that again.”

Her lips are so close. A small part of you jostles forward, engines revved, telling you that this isn’t fair – that she’s hardly one to talk. You push it back, down, out.

“O-okay.” You say, breathing it out in slow, uncertain tones. “I’m sorry. I just… I felt like it was something I had to do alone.”

You feel a little guilty the moment the words leave your lips. The thought was genuine when it was just a thought, but now that it’s out there, curdling in the air, you know it’s not true. You went alone because you were burning. You still are, on some level, in some way.

Laura nods contentedly, her eyes giving you a passing grade, and moves closer, her lips brushing at yours, illuminating you with their lightest touch.

Every thread dies

but not every thread truly lives

The fire is still in you, and it wants to envelope her, to course over her and explore her and breathe in her moans. The viciousness of it shocks you – thoughts crash in your head, thoughts of her beneath you, of you pressing her down into the earth, rutting her until she’s squealing and insensate. Somehow they don’t feel like your thoughts - they feel like something insinuating themselves through you, burning away the parts of you that you recognize, the ideas and thoughts and feelings that are truly yours.

You kiss her, but that’s all you do. You hold the fire in, aiming it elsewhere.

The two of you collapse back upon the bed of mismatched fabrics that clutter your tent, Laura lying against you.

Time for Spaderman.

Laura doses blissfully against you, savouring the taste lingering upon her lips, and slowly you feel yourself begin to calm down. For just a moment, you feel at ease, the tension draining out of you. You’re not sure how long it lasts, but it’s not long.

Absolutely nothing kills the mood like turning your head and seeing a cartoonish rendition of your friend printed across your bedsheets.

Urgh.

Those are going to have to go eventually.

“One sec.” You mutter, frowning a little as you slip out from under Laura.

She gives you a quizzical stare as you make your way out.

Fishing your phone from your pocket, you dial Peter’s number. It rings for a good long time before anyone picks up.

The other end of the call is silent – mostly. You can hear him breathing.

“Hey.”

“…Hi.”

He’s alive, then. Whatever Eddie was didn’t kill him.

Lizard bro is tactful

How do you play this cool? You feel like you have to play this somewhat cool, on account of Peter being a high-strung nerd. And, also, because you’re on the phone, and everyone knows the government listens to people’s phones 23/7. Not to mention Moon Knight.

“So.” So then. “How did stuff go with your friend?”

You use the term loosely. It’s better than “your supervillain” or “your goo monster” or “your murderous science abomination”, though, and those are the only other descriptions for Eddie that come to mind. That said, you might be some kind of science abomination.

Just not a murderous one. Not quite.

There is a brief pause, presumably while he wonders why he hasn't heard the magic Spider-word yet.

“…He got away.” Comes his reply, eventually. He sounds hella tired. “I’m not sure what happened to him, honestly, just that it… it had something to do with the project he was working on.”

The tenor of his voice tells you that he’s holding something back there.

This

You ignore it. Whatever he’s not telling you, he likely has a reason to be keeping quiet about it. You’re not exactly a paragon of honesty yourself.

“You need any help with that?” You offer.

“What?”

“With your friend – Eddie.” You pause, giving him space to answer, but a silence lingers the wake of your question that prompts you onwards. “I’ve got a pretty great nose, man. And I know this city.”

“I, uh…” He sounds guarded. Like he’s expecting a trick, somehow. “…I mean, thanks, but I can’t let you. It’s not your responsibility.”

“But it is yours?” You counter, quickly.

“Yes.” He sounds oddly sure of that. “It is.”

There is another brief silence, before he finally speaks up again, sounding a little deflated.

“Look… I’ll… I’ll call you if I need help.”

“Yeah, do.”

The moment lingers again. You clear your throat.

“Just so you know, I’m not gonna snitch.” Snitches get stitches, after all. You don’t want to know how the superperson equivalent of that saying goes. “You don’t have to worry about that.”

“…Thanks.”

There is another awkward silence before the both of you say bye, and you hang up.

Man that was weird.

>(1/2)

Time crawls onward. You grab some of the remaining strips of chicken lying around and mix them into a stew, tentatively lighting the stove. You’re getting a little better at dealing with small flames like that – when they’re just sitting there, that is. If someone threw that shit at you it’d be another story entirely.

As you eat, people begin to filter back in, Noriko and Layla arriving first.

Noriko sits down opposite you with a big, decidedly raucous grin on her face. She watched as Layla heads to her tent, before turning back to you, still smiling.

“We didn’t.” You say, swallowing a bite of chicken.

Her face falls into a disappointed frown. “Eh, seriously? What’s wrong with you?”

In hindsight, without the fire roaring at its peak, you can’t help but think yeah, what IS wrong with you? But it’d be different if you were there again, and you know it.

“It’s not always the right time.” You mumble. Noriko snorts derisively in response.

“That was totally the right time.” She says. “I made time for you.”

You shrug. Finishing your meal, you feel strangely inactive for a moment, and absently move to go through a few press-ups, shrugging your hoodie off and tying it around your waist. It’s so weird that you’re like this now – a few months ago, the idea of actively chewing through your energy reserves would’ve been a form of heresy in your eyes. Hobo heresy.

>(2/2)

“Man, you’ve turned into such a meathead.” Comments Noriko, chuckling. You frown at the floor.

“I’m not a meathead.” You say.

“You are.” She replies, smirking. “How huge do you plan to get? Wrestler huge?”

You were thinking action star huge. You decide to go with humour, however.

“Thor huge.”

“Hah.” She roots through a few of the bags lying around, presumably looking for something light to snack on. “The hugest. I suppose I wouldn’t mind that. You have to leave your shirt off more often, though.”

You’re gonna ignore that.

“So… where’d you go last night?” You ask, moving things along. You hear Noriko shift uncomfortably.

“I just went running for a bit. I used to run a lot, back in school.” A very slight hint of wistfulness plays at her voice. “I was pretty fast, too. Anyway, I guess I thought about going to see Roberto, or Kiden, but… I dunno. It didn’t feel right.”

“Yeah.” You say, grunting slightly. “Know what you mean.”

You pause for a moment, before bringing up something that’s been nagging at you for a little while.

“You know, I’ve been wondering…” You hear Noriko perk up, your tone apparently engaging her interest. “My blood heals people, right? I dunno if it can heal scars, but I’d like to try it, at some point. I still feel kinda responsible for… y’know…”

She’s quiet for a moment. Then:

“…Sure. I mean, let me get used to the idea, yeah?”

You nod.

Without warning, Noriko raises her voice.

“Hey! Laura! Your boyfriend’s getting huge!”

You blush profusely.

It doesn’t take long for her to emerge from her tent. You can feel her eyes on you as she pads over to Noriko, sitting down beside her.

And they watch. For about an hour at least. You feel vaguely ridiculous, but you know it’d be even more embarrassing to just stop, so you keep the routine up until you have to leave.

You actually ache a little by the time you’re done, which is rare.

Noriko confirms that everyone’s meeting where they did last time, at the old school. Makes sense.

Layla composes a quite substantial list of reasons why you should take her along, chief among them that she is “the best, ever”, but you decide she’s probably not old enough for secret gang meetings. That’s for eighteen-year-olds. And sixteen-year-olds, since Kevin’s coming. And fifteen-year-olds, you guess…

Leaving her to sulk all over Noriko, you head out into the Scar with Kevin and Laura, making your way toward the old schoolhouse. The red up above is beginning to dim, night stretching its long shadow over the bones of the Scar, as if clothing them. Everything always looks a little bigger as night begins to fall. Just a little taller.

You hear them before you see them. You were expecting to be the first ones there, but the opposite turns out to be the case – even the Hellions have arrived before you, Julian’s distinctive chortle rising over the ruins. As you get closer, circling around toward the open side of the school, they come into view, and Hisako spots you, waving. She’s accompanied by Victor and the niqab girl.

>(2/2)

“Hey.” You say, casting a wary eye about the assembled parties.

In general, things aren’t as tense as they were the last time you guys all met up. Jono still looks like a sour little bastard, but he’s visibly more relaxed, as are his two friends – Megan and the bald kid. Julian is chatting away with the triplets, nursing a light beer in one hand, while Brian talks to Megan.

You sort of feel like you’re in the kitchen zone of a very strange party.

“Afternoon.” Rattles Jono, his voice exploding through your head. You nod back at him, and he – you’re pretty sure what he does next is like his version of clearing his throat. It’s like a trail of firecrackers going off along the base of your skull. “Let’s get this started, then.”
