What's up, Danger? (Ota via comms or come vigilante with him!)

With Dad back, Peter didn't exactly feel like being home. Or at work. He called out with family issues, and Doctor Otto was good with it. He understood that the Hargreeves household could, at the best of times, be complete chaos. With dad back, that was exactly what it was. Chaos. Everyone was upset, to some degree or another, and Peter couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation and what it meant for others. For Vanya and Klaus. Even with the revelation that dad was intangible, it still sucked.

Everyone had been happy. Mom had been learning and changing. It had been great.

Now? Now, though...it felt like every step forward they'd all made had been negated and then some.

So Peter, in a red and black Spider-suit, black domino mask and small communications device in his ear, was swinging through the city. Sticking to low rooftops, swinging through alleyways. Getting into a few fights with muggers and having his pictures taken with a few adoring fans, but none of it was really helping him feel better. All of it just felt empty.

Still, he persisted. There had to be something in this City worth doing that'd help him get his head on straight.

It's when he's passing an abandoned warehouse that Peter possibly finds his Thing.

There are people inside the warehouse and, after sticking to the outside wall and peeking in through a broken window, they're people with guns.

He sends a Spy-der drone inside for a closer look and gets a good view of a stash of drugs and some men that he was sure his brother was looking for. Pinging Diego, he sends him video feed and location and waits.


Later on, Peter is sitting on top of another building, a sandwich from his favorite corner bodega in one hand and a soda in the other. Bored silly, he sends a message home to everyone.

"I'm still out, if anyone wants me to pick up anything. Groceries. Movies. A shitload of ice cream and junk food. The City is quiet, for once. Or, for the newbies in the house, I can give you a livestream birds-eye view of New York at night. From my vantage point."

Yep. He's bored. Even after helping Diego.

It may be a while until he's feeling 100 percent.

"So this is where you two sneak out when you're bored." Getting a kit of her own together wasn't nearly as difficult as anticipated, flitching what she could from the old stores of uniforms and harnesses. While not the slick, beetle black and green number she wore overseas- it's stealthy enough for her sense of comfort and pragmatism as she hauls herself over the ledge. Diego she expected something like this from, though it's woefully small time. Still. Some people don't look at the bigger picture in the same way that she does. Did. Whether or not she still gives a fuck is up in the air as of late.

"I'm not going to be stupid enough to ask if everything's alright." That was Shuri's voice in his ear, quiet but clear enough for a remote, last-minute comm signal hack, she did worry about him, after all, and as she hadn't yet gotten actual permission to gift him with a kimoyo bracelet, she had to make due.

"What I will ask, is what can I do to help?" Even if the answer was 'nothing', she'd at least know, which was the important thing at the moment.
