i’d always fantasized about falling in love in a field, but... i just never thought it'd be the kind where you play lacrosse.

HE PAUSES , VOICE SHAKY , “ i didn’t ask to get bitten . i was only thirteen . i had so much other stuff going on . when you died … i knew i had to do something . but now that people know me , i don’t know if i can just drop it because you’re back , spiderman . ”
THAT’S THE THING -- peter didn’t ask for this either. he didn’t ask for any of this. but they have these abilities - and in his mind, they should use them. if not, it’s just as bad as... well, the bad guys. he takes a short second to assess their surroundings: the rooftop of a building, in the middle of the night. safe enough, right ? and just like that, he tugs off his mask. ‘ i, uh - you can call me peter. -- you don’t have to drop it, that’s the thing - i screwed up. a lot. i made a lot of mistakes, i got a lot of people hurt - this . . . being spider-man, it isn’t easy. but maybe . . . maybe with two of us, we have a better chance of doing things right. ‘

And she felt your pain in Wonderland, and she seethed in that black curtained place, and we can see her there now. She’s just anxiously pacing, tearing at the walls, trying to find some way to break out, to save you from this torment. But still, she can’t find any relief. And then she hears a fight outside, and moments later, she has company. The lich Edward drops into the chamber and scrambles to his knees. And he says:
Edward: Who— who are you? What is this place?
And Lup says
Lup: Are you the one who’s been hurting my brother out there?
Edward: Am I—where are we?
And Lup grits her teeth and says
Lup: I’m gonna fucking kill you now.

HE NODS SECURELY , smile curling at the edges of his mouth . “ cool , lilette . i like that name , s’cool . ” he says , and he puts his hands back into his pockets , always holding onto the fabric inside , trying to hold onto all he has . jake tilts his head at her offer , before his smile widens , “ hey , lead roles not bad . i’d love to try it out . i’m probably not gonna be that great , i haven’t been in a play in a while . i’m like , a total jock , i guess . ” he laughs , a little embarrassed , “ but i like trying new stuff . like , clubs , and stuff . what other stuff do you do ‘sides acting ? ”
THE COMPLIMENT HAS HER SMILING NERVOUSLY, enthused that he was nice rather than . . . well. like the others on the football team. they didn’t usually give the theater kids an easy time, but jake seemed easygoing enough, which gave lilette the confidence needed to speak freely about the play. ‘ yeah, it’s - it’s a lot of fun. mr. mazzou is a great director - i’m sure you’d have fun if you joined ! ‘ for a beat, she only wrings her hands together as she thinks of a proper way to answer his question. see, lilette wasn’t popular. she didn’t have a lot of friends, and honestly, she wasn’t involved in much ; that answer, however, makes her look really lame. ‘ i, uh - not much. i like acting, and singing, but i really just . . . i work a lot. ‘
@laststops fr you know who.
‘ AW, COME ON ! ‘ he pouts like a child, which probably doesn’t help his case. at all. peter wants to go - his trips with the guardians are always the highlight of his month. but it’s not just that, this time. parker’s a little worried - if it’s so dangerous he’s banned from coming . . . well, his family could be hurt. and he can’t just stand on the sidelines for that. ‘ let me go with you. ‘

HE SITS BY HER IN SILENCE , taking time to fight off the adrenaline he’s been infused with after the show . he’s distracted , only nodding in the wake of her compliment . ‘ what happened with you tonight ? ’ he finally manages , the soft way he speaks almost jarring . this isn’t the rich she knows – he’s concerned , now , feeling real worry for a friend he’s come to appreciate deeply . ‘ i mean – is there something up ? ’ and then he frowns , changes his mind . ‘ fuck that , actually – i know something’s up . do you wanna – talk ? ’
SHE’S FRAGILE AS AN AUTUMN LEAF, blown by a chill breeze. lilette bites her lip with nervousness, hating that she’d let her performance fall in wake of her personal issues. but she just couldn’t focus, knowing she should be at work instead of rehearsal - with her mom leaving, she hardly has the time or means to make rent . . . lilette doesn’t know what to do. undoubtedly, she knows she can trust rich with what’s happening ; the issue is, she doesn’t trust herself to not break down. ‘ i’m sorry. ‘ i must have been a letdown tonight. ‘ it’s just . . . my mom. we got into a . . . a fight, and she just . . . left. ‘ and i haven’t seen her in days.

“ THE REASON I BECAME spiderman is because i thought you were dead . people needed someone , and - i needed to step up to that . but now i’m - i don’t know if i can do this , i can’t match up to THE spiderman … you know ? ”
‘ IT’S NOT . . . easy. i mean, i - i love being spider-man, i love being a hero, but it’s dangerous, man. really dangerous. ‘ take it to heart - he’s died before. ‘ but you’re doing a good job, man. ‘

‘ WHAT’S THE SITCH , baby girl ? got here as quick as i could . hit me with some soup and then we can bitch . ’ rich hops lightly onto his stool at the counter of janet’s workplace , leaning on his hand and blinking as innocently as he can manage . ‘ how much do you love your best pal rich ? ’
SHE FLASHES HIM A SLY SMILE, and looks away to finish wiping down the counter. it’s a slow day - the diner, as always, is nearly empty other than her and the cook ; which means she can easily score rich a free lunch, which she always does anyways. she tosses the towel and looks at him with her head tilted like a curious feline before saying : ‘ you know what ? those bars were enough to score you a free burger. congrats, man ! ‘

ONE TIME , MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SAID HE SAW ANGELS IN MARBLE , and carved to set them free . scarlet is the devil’s colour , but rayven can say with confidence that there’s something to be revered as holy slipping through each stroke of her pencil , a deadly realistic set of features , and long hair . when janet catches her attention with a touch , and she blinks owlishly . she can rarely say she gets the opportunity to be as smooth as this . “ a - a - an an - angel . ” she says , voice soft . “ li - like michelangelo , um - he set angels fff - free from marble , a - a - and ssss - so i ssset them free in paper . ” she’s scarlet , but she turns her book to show janet , and the resemblance is uncanny . in rayven’s hands , she holds several red and orange pencils , the beginnings of flaming hair beginning to slip into it’s place on the page .
NORMALLY, HER FEATURES ARE SCULPTURED FROM ICE, a protective field to keep her from further injury. but when looking at rayven, that ice melts, and leaves her heart to flow freely, creating the most genuine smile. for once, her face is not wolfish, but rather owlish. ‘ an angel ? ‘ and she waits for rayven to turn the book, completely unprepared. because when she sees the page - a version of herself - her heart stutters in her chest. fingers reach out as if to brush the drawing, but she holds back, afraid of smudging the work. after a moment of staring in bleary silence, janet smiles, soft and smitten as she looks back up to rayven’s eyes. ‘ - that’s . . . wow, ray. ‘

HE OFFERS HIS HAND WITH A SMILE , as per usual . “ hey - uh , i’m jake . manager told me to find you - lilette , right ? uh - i’m gonna be starting training tomorrow , so i got assigned to you to be , uh , trained . nice to meet you . i think i - ” he pauses , gathers his thoughts with an embarrassed laugh , “ i think i recognise you from a - theater group ? i go to see a lot of performances with my friend christine - she’s super into theater , i’m really into like , acting , i guess . ” @idledstar .
QUIET SMILE, FICKLE HEART RABBITING in her ribcage. she’s a girl of glass, and each new person she meets threatens to crack the pane. anxiety is not unfamiliar - it curls into her as she reaches out to reciprocate the handshake, her smile obviously nervous. she likes this town because it was small - not too many new people. but you can’t judge him before you know him, lilette, even if he looks like a total jock. ‘ yeah - lilette. ‘ eyelashes flutter nervously, tray held between her body and her elbow as she says, ‘ yeah ! i’m, um . . . one of the lead roles. if you - if you really do like acting, we could always use a few more guys in the cast. ‘
@laststops fr rich !
REHEARSAL IS OVER, AND SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GO HOME. lilette sits on the edge of the stage, legs dangling off as she thinks. her performance tonight was . . . subpar, at best, too distracted by her mother’s choice to disappear on her. no one but simon knows that part, though - so it must look like she suddenly turned into a terrible actress. when she looks at rich, she can offer only a sullen smile before turning her head away once more. ‘ you did great tonight. ‘
