[ utterly oblivious ]

Yeah. We beat up some monsters, he was very competent. Never saw him again.

[nerded]

oh okay

so he's not like

here right now?

[realists]

I don't know. There's no one called spider.man among the Displaced

[nerded]

i mean that wouldn't actually be his name, would it?

he'd probably have a real one

[ Except doing a search comes up with no other results for 'peter.parker' other than ... well, himself.

It'd be too weird, anyway.

Way, way too weird. ]

you never saw him outside of the dream?

[realists]

Nope.

Do you know him?

[nerded]

me?

no, no i don't know him


not exactly anyway

it's kinda weird?

[realists]

[ huh

she was feeling a little bad if she'd unintentionally been telling him about a close personal friend of his that suddenly vanished but now she is... confused. ]

Okay

[nerded]

[ It's okay to tell her, right? Tony told him about Jyn, and they've been working at the hospital together, and he likes her. She's really cool, she seems like she could keep a secret. Or at least be trusted.

So. ]

just like

please don't tell anyone but

there's a spider-man back where i'm from too

and if he's anything like the one you met in that dream? if he was wearing this blue and red webbed suit?

uh

well

he's

me?

kinda?

[realists]

Oh

You were bitten by a radioactive spider and given strength and speed and saved the world a lot? His words, not mine.

You're taller in that universe.

And close to 40.

[nerded]

yeah

yeah all of that stuff

[ God, she really did meet a Spider-Man. ]

it was obviously a different version of me but

i'm starting to figure out that that kinda thing isn't as uncommon as i thought

[realists]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you alternate middle aged self. Or you.

[ her lil' spider-boy ]

[nerded]

okay

okay cool awesome

phew thanks

i mean maybe it's like

a future version of me? did he sound kinda like me?

no maybe i shouldn't know anymore than that

[realists]

Pick one, kid

Do you want to know or not?

[nerded]

no

no it's okay

it wouldn't change anything anyway

[realists]

[ they're both weirdos, at least that stays the same. ]

Let me know if you change your mind.

You're not going to remember anything from here anyway.

[nerded]

[ 'Weirdo' definitely runs in their spider-blood. ]

huh?

what do you mean?

[realists]

Sometimes people go home and then come back and when they were home they don't remember New Amsterdam.

Sometimes they go home and come back and don't remember this place at all.

[nerded]

whoooa

and it's permanent? the not-remembering? it's not something to do with the glowiness in our chests or the drugs they give us at the beginning when we wake up?

[realists]

I don't know

I'm dead, I won't ever be a test subject on coming and going. Ask Clarke Griffin, you can tell her I suggested her to answer all of your questions

[nerded]

you're

dead?

[ Is this a joke? ]

[realists]

Yeah don't worry about it, it's fine

Probably shouldn't have said that

[nerded]

[ Give him a second, he needs to Process. ]

i'm sorry

i mean

i'm sorry anyway even if you say it's fine

i didn't know people who've died could be pulled here too

[ Is it okay that his mind is wandering to thoughts of the people he's lost somehow appearing here, too? His uncle? Tony Stark? ]

[realists]

Clever

[ now she can't say it's fine again, he already skirted around that. she knew she liked this kid. ]

I suppose the god or whatever assumed my reaction would be over my dead body so it simply waited for that to be the case

[nerded]

[ He has his moments. ]

knowing what i know of a lot of gods ...

i guess that kinda makes sense

[realists]

How many gods do people generally know

[ WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCE??? ]
