Hey, it's Ms. Marvel! I heard back from Wolverine. He says he doesn't get sick.

( text )

[nerdylilspidey]

OmG. That is so unfair for everyone else's healing factors.

Tell him that is unfair. Hugely unfair even.

[bestversion]

Why don't you tell him?

[nerdylilspidey]

Me?

Am I allowed??

in spider-man’s inbox...

[thecoolerloki]

If you’re actually 32, I’m going to turn you into a frog.

[nerdylilspidey]

I'm not 32 lol

I'm still a teenager which is totally completely exactly why I don't like telling the "adult" superheroes how old I am. They get all judgey and "Go back to school" "Leave this kind of thing to us" blah blah blah.

[thecoolerloki]

IDK if it helps, but the other Loki's consciousness is around ten years old. Or perhaps shorter than that, I'm not sure of when he was reborn into his most recent body.

I understand, though. Due to my circumstances, I'm either treated like a child with no thoughts of his own or a middle-aged man who should know everything already.

[nerdylilspidey]

Man. I didn't know that was a thing that gods went through. I know I basically said it already, but it sounds like that moment of rebirth is just the craziest thing.

Question: How would you PREFER to be treated?

Spider-Man, hustle up! Are you dead?

[nerdylilspidey]

What?? No, I'm- I'm alive! Are yo-- Do you need me for something???

[ikols]

Yes, job done. I'm checking in on all the folks from our universe, since nobody else feels the need. Roll-call over!

[nerdylilspidey]

Wait, what? That's it?? Just-- checking in because we're- You know we're not actually from the same universe, right? Just similar ones?

Peter, it's Harry.

I need to tell you something, and I need you not to make a big deal about it or freak out.

text; @peter2011

[nerdylilspidey]

That sounds kind of ominous, but ok I promise to not freak out. Are you ok?

[nepotis]

I'm fine. this isn't about me.

[ He's... sort of fine. He's had a rough few months dealing with his falling out with his Peter, but now that that Peter's gone, he realizes he needs to reach out more. ]

I just need you to know that I know your secret. I know that you're Spider-Man.

[nerdylilspidey]

[There is... a very long pause. Which is mostly because Peter is now just staring at that text and trying not to freak out, because he promised he wouldn't freak out, but he still feels like he needs to freak out.]

What? What're you talking about?

[tinglesense]

hey so quick question
how do you feel about moving to central
still you and me and the doc but just
you know excelsior is kinda nuts rn and hates all of us so i thought maybe it would be
safer

[nerdylilspidey]

i'm 100% fine with that. definitely getting pretty tired of feeling kinda like a fugitive on the run around here

so Central, huh? that's the one that's a lot more like New York, right?

[tinglesense]

EXACTLY
i did enough of that back home and i kind of would like to stop doing it here as long as i can

its more like nyc yeah
especially the crime rate but cant have it all ig

[nerdylilspidey]

ooooooh what'd they pin on you? armed robbery? murder? armed robbery that ended in murder?

aww does this mean i have to go back on more regular patrols again? ngl it was really nice getting to actually spend more time IN school than out of it for a change

[nepotis]

hey, Pete.

I guess you've probably heard that they're issuing one-way tickets back to our home universes.

I'm going to go.

so I guess this is goodbye.

TEXT - @peter2011

[nerdylilspidey]

you're
but

are you sure?? will that be okay for you??

[nepotis]

idk man, I'm gonna fucking die
here or there, either way I'm not lasting long.
if I have the option to choose, then I choose home.

[nerdylilspidey]

[There's a long pause. Lots of Peter thinking he knows what to say to that and then realizing he doesn't know what to say to that. What he eventually settles on is--]

I'm so sorry, Harry. I'm so, so sorry.

For what it's worth, I'm glad I met you here. Even if they weren't exactly the best of circumstances.

12/25

[ Lana sends Peter a card and a box of donuts from a good Jewish bakery she's found in Central City. ]

Happy holidays, nerd. I'm glad you're not dead.

(Is that weird to put in a greeting card? It feels weird. Oh, well.)

xoxo,
Lana
