@peterparker ; video - it's gen z vlog time

[spidermenaces]

(some of us love our vlogging, our youtubeing, tik-toking-- and since here it's a known fact that peter parker happens to be spider-man, well, that means he gets to turn his tablet on while he swings through the winter wonderland that aldrip has come. whoever is watching gets a very nice view of aldrip from the tallest buildings, the snow twinkling and sparkling beneath him as he goes from building to building until he stops at the tallest one.

the camera pans and switches to his face, hair a mess of curls from all the wind that it faced and he smiles. it feels good to smile.)

So, I heard this thing, right -- this guy from the pizza shop told me, I don't know if he's lying or what, but apparently? Apparently, there's this superstition that we aren't supposed to leave our home during the solstice or something? But I'm curious - did someone go out last year? Did something happen? And if we go out... Well, actually, who's going out, first of all?

(the camera switches again, so he can film the skating ring from above-- someone just fell on their ass, and he sucks teeth because that must have hurt.)

Ooooh, ouch. Well, wear a helmet, don't get sick, invite me if you have eggnog! Friendly neighborhood Spider-man, out!

It's polite

My entire engineering gear is in there so it's easier if he needs me to work on something on the spot

But if he needs to talk shop you guys can come over to the Spider-house

Up to you guys

[querulus]

and?

right yeah so the thing is he didn't actually ask me for anything. i just figured he might need more stupid arrows at some point. it's his only useful skill after all.

i mean somebody's gotta keep the old man alive right? you know, him being fragile and non-powered and shit.

[westcoasts]

( excuse. )

you know this entire conversation is public, right?

[spidermenaces]

I wanna go on the record and say I have nothing to do with what Q just said

[westcoasts]

you did call me twice your age

( IS clint twice peter's age? he doesn't know. )

[spidermenaces]

You probably are though
I'm 18

[westcoasts]

okay, yeah, I'm twice your age.

[querulus]

[...]

oh hey barton

[Did he assume Clint wouldn't find this because he's "old and bad at technology"? Maybe.]

[westcoasts]

you have GOT to come up with something more original than 'old man'.

[querulus]

what, you'd prefer legolas? katniss?

boring. pedestrian.

"old man" is a timeless classic. and logan has a monopoly on all the other old-related nicknames.

[spidermenaces]

Legolas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[westcoasts]

think the point is meant to be I wouldn't prefer them.

that's because he's actually old.

[spidermenaces]

Hey who makes his arrows though in your universe?
And they're not stupid they're cool
Also, come on
He's an Avenger man
Be nice, QQ

[westcoasts]

hawkeye makes his own damn arrows in his own universe.

[spidermenaces]

Then why is Hawkeye not in STEM in this universe
You gotta join man
Come on, let me work on the arrows with you

[westcoasts]

probably because the only thing I know how to do is make arrows

( or: quentin's assumption, though wrong, was made using very valid logic. )

[spidermenaces]

Can I take a look though
I might be able to work something new out of it

And also, still
QQ is in STEM too
We have infrastructure to make them so
I mean
If you don't wanna join it's fine
But you can definitely come around to make them

[querulus]

idk man the arrows just show up. why would i know where he gets them?

[Because you were on a team with both Hawkeyes for months, Quentin. A (technically unsanctioned and unofficial) Avengers team.]

you only think avengers are cool because your universe is mutantphobic

[spidermenaces]

Because you're
Inquisitive

(read: nosy)

Hey, I happen to think you guys are really cool too
Love equally

[querulus]

yeah about stuff that's interesting
and don't say arrows are interesting because they're not

"really cool too" wow thanks that makes me feel soooo much better

[westcoasts]

not that quentin needs to be right about anything, but

please don't call me "mister hawkeye".

( it's weird. )

[spidermenaces]

... Mister Barton. Clint? Clint is okay? I don't know

[westcoasts]

you... don't know?

look, hawkeye or clint's fine.

[spidermenaces]

Whichever one you prefer I mean

I know you haven't met me yet
But I can assure you I am probably the youngest Spiderman
So
Feels... Kinda wrong, but I can try
Okay
Clint

[westcoasts]

I really don't have a preference. wanda and co didn't call me by 'clint' for, like, months after I joined the avengers.

but just for the record, it's not what you call someone, it's how you say it.
if you really wanted, you could absolutely make 'mister hawkeye' sound insulting.
