oh, and before i forget?

*this* is what you get for getting involved with spiders.

1/2

[bests]

Oh, shut up. This happened before I started dating Peter.

wow i can grammar

[bests]

And I was planning on doing that for her anyways. Even without the strange, possibly familial feelings, she's my kid. My responsibility. I want to look out for her.

[trickshot]

well that's about 50% of parenting, isn't it? looking out for them and making sure they're happy and okay. as for the rest of it, just take it slow. if it goes further, it goes further. and if that's what she really wants from you, she'll let you know.

(i'm sure you and spidey and she will make an adorable spider-family. or are you just sad she's not calling herself marvelette, or something?)

[bests]

I don't know, I never really thought about what parenting is. I never thought about having a family.

(We're not making a Spider-Family! Especially since he's already up to his ears in *other* Spider-Kids.)

[trickshot]

it's probably not the kind of thing thinking helps with, anyway. you just have to go with it.

(which is weird by itself since you'd think having spider-powers would be a pretty rare thing.)

[bests]

But I like plans. Plans make things easier.

(I'm about 90% sure there's a reason why they all have spider-powers. I just haven't gotten it confirmed yet.)

[trickshot]

yeah, but the danger of planning is that sometimes, when you do, they don't end up happening.

(now i'm curious. what's the reason?)

[bests]

I know. And easier isn't always better, I like challenges, et cetera, et cetera. This shouldn't be a bad thing.

(It's their secret to tell.)

[trickshot]

it's not just a challenge. it's a relationship. and usually the case with those is that if you work for them, they're worth it.

(probably. and if i learn any more of spider-woman's she'll probably try to kill me.)

[bests]

When did you get so wise?

(So you know she's Jessica?)

[trickshot]

when life decided to start teaching me lessons by kicking my ass.

(yeah. i sort of found out by accident, though.)

[bests]

Ouch.

(Haha, that didn't go over well, did it?)

[trickshot]

it might've been worth it. i do better with practice, anyway.

(she called me a stalker! me!! she's got too much attitude.)

[bests]

Doesn't everyone?

(She's a teenager, cut her some slack.)

[trickshot]

some people don't

(it doesn't bug you when the teenagers give you lip?)

[bests]

Teenagers know better than to give me lip.

Do you still want coffee, even though we've done most of the talking already?

[trickshot]

i think coffee's a fair reward for my amazing advice

and the company would be nice

[bests]

I'll be up in a second then.

And Clint?

[trickshot]

Yeah?

[bests]

Thank you.

[trickshot]

anytime
