WHO: Peter and Stiles
WHERE:
WHEN: Backdated to 9/5 ish
WHAT: Peter needs help keeping an eye on Mysterio; Stiles offers to ask.
WARNINGS: Potential discussion of emotional abuse.

[ Well, Stiles asked for more details, and Peter's going to provide it. As much as he doesn't really want to involve a civilian, he has to admit the situation is starting to go sideways and isn't entirely sure what to do. Of course he has no idea how bad it's going to get in about twenty-four hours, but ...

That's all in the future. For now, he meets Stiles at a little kosher deli in Nonah. It's a nice café type setup, which (as promised) has a giant pull-out couch in the seating area. Peter's sitting there already, working through a sandwich. When he sees Stiles, though, he waves. ]

Hey, man. Thanks for coming by.

[Sadly, Stiles shows up for this meeting with no Derek in two, since he figured keeping the dog out of his half of the conversation about keeping an eye on a dangerous asshole would be a good idea.]

Yeah, no problem. [He just sits down for now, figuring he'll get something to eat or drink or whatever in a bit.] So what can you tell me about this guy?

[made_up_names]

[ Peter finishes up the bite he was working on, setting his food aside. ]

So - okay, how much do you know about me being Spider-Man?

[threeisapattern]

I mean, I know that you are Spider-Man. Webs and stuff kinda gave it away.

[He'd also point out that talking about it in a public place isn't maybe the most discreet thing to do, but - honestly, whatever. ]

[ Whatever, the deli owner's a comic fan from back before imPorts showed up. That may also be why Peter's getting free food out of this. ]

I mean, is that something you figured out here or something you knew from back home?

[threeisapattern]

Uh, here? Like, you're not... subtle. It's kinda worrying.

[Especially if Peter's actually trying to keep it a secret!! Like, maybe casual observers won't care but if you're actively trying, it's not that hard.]

[made_up_names]

Look, this place is weird and I'm still figuring out how to do this right.

[ Also most people don't care back home, at least until they do. ]

Anyway - I've fought a couple supervillains. Like. Actually really bad supervillains.

[threeisapattern]

And Mysterio's one of them?

[He's pretty bad! Attempted murder makes him pretty bad!]

[made_up_names]

Oh yeah. He faked these massive monster attacks so that he could pretend to be a hero.

[threeisapattern]

So, like - pretty much what he probably did here? [Okay. seriously, not changing his MO at all? Not that smart.]

[made_up_names]

Yeahhhh. It was a little bit dumb.

[threeisapattern]

At least it makes it easier to spot here. I guess. [It probably won't last, so Stiles won't expect that.]

[made_up_names]

I hope so. That’s why I need help keeping an eye out. Because I think he is trying to be a better person too.
