And he agrees wholeheartedly with Logan's definition of smartness. He's good with building stuff, chemistry, maths, but put him in a social situation and he's 'Penis Parker', the loser with the one friend.
I mean what I mean. [ Messed up is as accurate as can be, especially given he isn't the type for exaggeration. ] I live on Howard Hill, and... [ There's a moment of silence, like Logan's mourning something. ]
[ Peter hesitates, wondering if he should know what Howard Hill is like because that might give him a little more context, or maybe it'll explain why things would be 'messed up to hell' as Logan says.
He's got no idea, as it is. ]
I mean, was it like that when you moved in? I guess you can't just call up a plumber here, can you?
No, wasn't like that. [ He shakes his head. ] We had a wendigo in there a couple days ago. Now part of the counter's destroyed, there's the whole wall thing, I gotta replace some tiles, and my oven door's busted.
[ He tries to think about anything else he's missing. ]
...one cabinet's half-gone too, I think. Wasn't a good day for anyone.
My plan was to fix it once my paycheck finally got in.
A what? Isn't that like - [ No, that's a stupid question. Whether things here are made up or real, all bets are off in Deerington. Nightmares are made real. Just about everything can be made real.
Peter just nods. ]
I'm not really a handy-person but - uh. If you ever want some help with stuff, like simple stuff, I can totally do it.
After you already fixed my phone? [ Not that Logan doesn't understand the need to be useful somehow, though. He chuckles, nodding his head. ] ...but yeah. Sure, kid.
I'll pay you in food and pop. [ There's a definitive tone to his voice that indicates he's not taking "no" for an answer. ]

[ Peter smiles too.

According to Flash, anyway.
Maybe he's wrong too.
Peter's friends with the Avengers, after all. ]
What do you mean? Where do you live?

There's a hole in my kitchen wall, for one thing.

Buuut. Yeah. He gets it. He hears the tone.
So he nods, his mouth twisting into a smile. ]
Okay, deal.
