( Peter is clearly on top of something high when he turns the magitek on, magitek that isn't his but anyone who knows him will recognize him, whether his name is paired with the message or not. he hesitates before he starts, but he's hesitated about a week now. he's sort of out of hesitation time. )

I am guessing most of you remember me, but if you don't, my name is Peter. I just... I wanted to apologize. I get that doesn't mean much, considering how many people I hurt and I should have seen it sooner and prevented it in the first place. ( he shrugs, looking down and his shoulders in a weary slant. ) I'm still sorry. If you got caught up in it, or... you know someone that was. Sorry won't make up for it, but I... I'll do whatever it takes to make sure it never happens again.

( it means more honesty than he's ever had on a large scale, and that's the terrifying part of all this. he doesn't see an option in it anymore. ) I'm sorry I didn't talk about... what I can do. It's a long story. ( a long story with dead girlfriends, so no, he doesn't wanna super get into that part. ) I should have said something before it got so bad. It's too late to go back, but maybe I can say something now. If you want to know, I guess I'll try and answer.

( he looks uncomfortable, but hey. it's at least a start. last but not least, though, he sighs and rubs a spot behind his ear. ) If you don't want anything to do with me, after... ( after he went feral and tried to eat people, is the part he's not saying, ) I get it. I'll try and respect it, if I know, too.

( and, last but not least... ) I think we should consider the endgame of the people that were effected by Bristol. There's a lot to deal with after you get the cure, especially those in late stages of infected. ( speaking from experience... cough....... ) If we can get donations together, provide any kind of support for the people that got sick or ... lost someone. If we can I think we should.

( Peter definitely feels like he's talked enough (for prob the second time in his entire life, and coincidentally the first time was just a few days ago, w e i r d), so with that he's done. at least for now. he probably has a mystic samurai coach to keep an eye on, anyway. she might claim to be petersitting but if anyone is at risk of falling off the building, it's not Peter.

because he doesn't fall off of buildings, he jumps off of them completely intentionally. )

no wait hang on back up
why the mask

[webdesigned]

same reason i never told anybody
i didn't want people to trace what i could do back to me. bad things happen when people know.

( first he just didn't want to get arrested. after gwen died, the stakes got a lot higher. )

[heavyhitter]

did a witch curse you or something, wtf happens when people know

[webdesigned]

( he promised to be honest about his powers, nobody ever said he was ready to be honest about the deaths on his conscience. )

in my world, i was the only one like me
spider-man wasn't an easy target, but people close to peter parker could be.

[heavyhitter]

who the fuck in audentes is targeting people you like

[webdesigned]

not here. at home
but some lessons you don't forget.

( hopefully Kaz won't try to throw Stiles off a clocktower in his salt... please Kaz....... )

[heavyhitter]

ok see that's what i thought
that's stupid
there's like only 50something of us, if anyone's going around trying to be a dick we'd know it and fuck them right up

[webdesigned]

it's how it has to be at home. it's not easy to talk about.

i should have, though. i know that now.

( how much could have been avoided from a little honesty? a great deal, and even Peter knows that... even if it doesn't make the honesty that much easier. )

[heavyhitter]

yeah didn't really think much about how you're in an alternate dimension now huh
it's ok i know it's such a small thing, so easy to forget

[webdesigned]

very funny
i've always had to hide. even though there were others like me here, i guess it was easier to just keep hiding.

[heavyhitter]

well whatever as long as you recognize it's fucking stupid
at least you're past it now i guess

[webdesigned]

yeah. trying, anyway.

have you always been upfront? about what you can do? are there other people in your world like you?

[heavyhitter]

[ dammit peter you weren't supposed to ask after her side of it ]

actually it's
kinda new

and no i don't think so

[webdesigned]

( G ASP

what a twist )

so you're used to hiding things, too? why did you do it?

well, at least that i can understand. i'm the only one like me, in my world.

[heavyhitter]

because things work out better when people underestimate you

[webdesigned]

( ramir no the shounen protag in him rejects this )

i mean, yeah, that's true.

( YOU KNOW... TECHNICALLY...... )

[heavyhitter]

no technically about it

[ and suddenly she brings this to a private line, because for as much as she thinks of this team as her team ... there are still some things to be discrete about. ]

i think my grandma had it too. see how i say i think? THAT'S how subtle she was.

[webdesigned]

( geez, relatives hiding important information from you... this is definitely something he has experience with. )

she never told you for sure?

[heavyhitter]

strictly a need to know basis i guess
maybe she was waiting for me to get older first

[webdesigned]

( that was is pretty ominous, having lost important figures to him Peter doesn't even want to ask what happened to grandma. )

my dad kept a lot of stuff from me too, stuff that i only figured out way after he died
i mean. i was four. but it's weird facing that secret life i never knew about

[heavyhitter]

was it weirder than running around in footie pajamas and a mask, sticking to walls

[webdesigned]

yeah, it was, smartass

[heavyhitter]

i call bullshit, nothing is weirder than that

[webdesigned]

it was pretty easy to get used to the mask.

not sure i will ever get used to all the stuff he kept hidden from me

[heavyhitter]

ok ok spill, what'd he hide
