"Hey. This is Peter. ...Nope, not actually here to take your call right now. So leave a message, I guess."


[Trying to contact me OOC? Just put OOC in the tag. Or, comment asking for my contact information & I'll get back to you.]

[EMAIL. IT'S YOUR FAVORITE PERSON PETE]

[500men]

Peter-

We need to talk. You promised that you'd check in and in this case...I've been hearing some disturbing things about the city and I want to hear about how you're taking care of yourself.

We can do this either in person or via email. Whichever works for you.

[This is his polite way of saying "check in."]

[EMAIL BACK. HE SAYS OHGODDAMNIT, I MEAN UH. HI?]

[peterparker]

Capt-- ...Miste--- Georgey... Captain Curious George MacDonald, Esq. of the Midtown MacDonalds'... DEAR GWEN'S DAD...

[Okay, so 82 backspaces later...]

Sir,

I'm taken care of. Everything's copasetic.

Thanks.

[His polite way of not.]

[SPECTRE AT THE FEAST.]

[500men]

[George's face looks like this. :/ rn.]

...Humor me kiddo? ...Please?

I know that being in the icescapades is an important gig, but I'd really feel better if we could talk. Face to face even.

[voice call]

[firebornfidelis]

Peter Parker? My name is Riza Hawkeye, captain of the Alliance's search and rescue division. Priscilla thought you might be interested in joining the united and requested that I do some follow-up. Unless she was mistaken?

[voice]

[peterparker]

Uh, hello?

This is Peter, yeah-- I wanted to, no mistakes there.

Thanks for calling. Sorry, new, wasn't totally sure how to and ah--

Anyway. Thanks. Yes, I'm looking to join. I think I'd make a good addition.

Is there a sign-up sheet?

[And by that he does mean a trial or test. He's ready.]

ooc;

[identitycrisis]

I sent the mods a plurk ping asking about the manor break-in, so I'll let you know what they say!

ooc;

[peterparker]

Sounds good! Thanks a lot!

If they give a go-ahead (either to make it in or to fail spectacularly), did you want to log it?

[Voice]

[staywiththegroup]

[ Sad to say she can't stay away from you. ]

...

He made you promise didn't he?

[TEXT]

[peterparker]

[It was almost a full day before Peter got up the nerve to reply to that. Wasn't doing the voice or video thing; that ended badly enough the first time, thanks.]

Doesn't matter too much.

[He added 'He was probably right.' before deleting it and sending it as-is.]

[Voice] HAY ITS YOUR BFF

[staywiththegroup]

[ Really weird silence as Gwen bites her lip and tries to figure out how she wants to start this message. And then decides to stop over-thinking it and go for the gold. ]

...Peter...I would like to talk. When you aren't busy.

[Voice] SOB.

[peterparker]

[Peter actually debated calling her back... he wasn't sure that he could stomach another thorough beat down, but.

He did promise to be there for he. He was gonna keep that promise.]

Hey. Yeah, uh.

I'm not busy.

What's up?

text; THE MORNING AFTER LIZARD THINGS

[amygdalae]

[Sooo yeah since apparently there's been no word about you Bruce is worried, so, um.

Have a text.]

Are you alright, Peter?

[TEXT] -- A day and a half later;;;

[peterparker]

[Is he alright? Peter's first reaction upon receiving the text is to snort lightly. What does Dr. Banner mean, exactly? Is it...

A. Are you all right after learning that the thing I kept from you was a potentially fatal secret?

B. Are you all right after finding out that the man who killed your girlfriend's father, your once-friend and only connection to your parents, is here and out to murder you? (Bonus points for letting him escape.)

C. Are you all right after realizing that my affliction is disturbingly, painfully similarly to that of Dr. Connors, turning someone you respected into someone you're not sure you can trust?

D. Are you all right after having your torso mauled, your leg ripped up, your trachea squeezed and then being left by someone you thought was your friend to deal with it on your own?

E. All of the above.

Peter was not alright.

He'd decided not to reply to the text at all, but like most things that bugged him, he just couldn't get it out of his head. Maybe it was guilt-- wasn't it immature not to write back, to the guy that might have saved your life?

Granted, was saving someone's life nixed by leaving them to die right after? He'd lost a lot of blood, he'd been in a serious amount of pain and someone else had come to help him.

Peter wasn't so sure.

He assumed Dr. Banner didn't want to talk about what had happened because, yeah, clearly between the two of them here... Peter was the suspicious one. Right.

About a day and a half after receiving that text, he finally fires off a reply.]

Thanks for your help.

[There. Now maybe he at least didn't have to feel guilty; though he likely would, anyway. The bad mood wasn't blowing over any time soon.]

[beautifulcharmer]

Thank you, Peter Parker.

From Not-Mean-Girl

❧text

[peterparker]

No Prob, Not-Mean-Girl!

Hope you like cherry.

[text] Backdated to late last night.

[staywiththegroup]

Peter, where are you?

[TEXT] - A while after :(

[peterparker]

Sorry.

I don't feel well.

[ voice ]

[staywiththegroup]

[ She bites her lip, her feelings of embarrassment. ]

Peter, I'm really sorry about Finnick. I don't know why he said those things.

[ voice ]

[peterparker]

[That click?

Was you being hung up on.]

[text]

[sugarcube_distractions]

You're an idiot.

[Text]

[peterparker]

[Wow, had Gwen seriously already gone to him about that, too?

He'll give Finnick the benefit of the doubt and watch that. Before sending back a message dated on the day he was a 'no-show'.]

Gee. Thanks.

Hope your girl shows up.

[He meant that, really.

Didn't change anything, though.]

[text]

[staywiththegroup]

[ She had been through a whirlwind of emotions. Upset, then angry, then sad, and finally calm. She'd missed him a whole bunch so maybe it was time to talk rationally to him. She couldn't trust her voice so she decided the safest bet was to text. ]

Peter...are you free?

[Text]

[peterparker]

[Despite what it seems like, Peter Parker isn't actually a jerk. Yeah, he can say some pretty choice one-liners, and yes, he's pretty human in that he can be selfish, petty, and down... but he's not a real jerk.

That's why he doesn't ignore this message, even though a part of him really wanted to. It had been weeks; what could Gwen possibly want to say?

But, just on the off chance she actually needed help with something, that something was wrong, or that they were gonna broach the supremely awkward 'can't we just be friends now?' topic... Peter sucked it up and wrote back:]

I've got a minute.

What's up?

[action/text-y]

[staywiththegroup]

[ Have a bag of fish cookies that Gwen made that say 'I'm Sorry' on each one. ]

I hope you like them.
♥ Gwen

[peterparker]

[That's... really cute, actually. He can't help but smile when he picks the first one up, after reading the note.

After his third cooke, he texts her.]

I feel bad eating them, they look too nice.

I mean, I did anyway though. Thanks, Gwen.
