Characters: Miles Morales AND YOU!
Date: post-powers return, late July
Location: various
Situation: Catchall log for late July with both Miles as himself and as Spidey
Warnings/Rating: N/A, will edit as appropriate


[Miles had been happy to be without his powers at first, but as time went on he found himself missing the feeling of swinging through the city on a web, helping people and stopping crimes. So when the powers come back on, he dons the suit and heads out.]

[CLOSED] to Peter Parker

[spiderkid]

[It's only a matter of time before the two Spider-Men patrol together, going from district to district, keeping the streets safe and bantering with the best of them.

Miles hadn't really noticed when that other Peter disappeared off the turtle, but now that he's seen it happen, he wants to spend as much time with this Peter as he can, before one of them is gone too.]

"Come on short stuff, get a move on! Even Beaky moves faster, and that guy's ancient!"

[He doesn't actually mean any of the things he's shouting back over his shoulder toward Miles of course, he's just enjoying the company. And the web swinging. And the fact he's been in the leading the younger Spider-Man for the past six blocks, swinging around the Metal sector and generally trying to enjoy himself in the process.

It was easily his favorite thing about being Spider-Man. Swinging across the Manhattan skyline had been like a roller coaster ride he could control. If it ever started to get too routine, he could change it up a bit. Even experiment a little, take a little longer than usual to fire off the next web line or just try to swing a little faster than usual. And while his options were a little more limited here in Turtle-tropolis, he was still capable of having a little fun. Especially in the Metal district.

And definitely with another webswinger. Something he'd never really gotten the chance to do with the last Spider-Man who was here, so he was definitely going to do what he could to make sure he at least got to know Miles better than he did Other!Peter...]

[spiderkid]

[The Metal district is the most like home, with the best buildings to swing off of. Miles is still a little rusty on the swinging, but he laughs and tries as best he can to keep up with Peter.]

Beaky who? Man, make sense!

[OPEN] as Miles

[spiderkid]

[During the day, Miles browses the streets, starting in Earth Sector and slowly branching outwards. He's half looking for a job, half exploring, so feel free to strike up a conversation.]

[victoria_stay]

[There's another kid wandering the turtle and the various sectors. She hasn't entirely given up her search for Lilly, but it's obvious her efforts are now half-hearted. She's now busy just people watching, eyes following people as they walk by. And she's still making all efforts to move quietly and go unnoticed.

When she spots Miles, her head tilts slightly before she speaks in her quiet way.]

We spoke the other day.

[spiderkid]

[Miles smiles when he sees her, remembering their interaction on the network.]

Yeah, we did. Victoria, right? It's Miles.

[victoria_stay]

Yes.

[Confirming that she's Victoria. She's still a slight distance away and from the way she's standing, she might just stay there. There's a wariness to her behavior, leaning away from people if they get too close. She's not in the mood to deal with them, obviously.]

What are you doing?

[spiderkid]

[Miles takes a small step closer, testing it out.]

I'm trying to find a job. I haven't had much luck so far, though.

[OPEN] as Spider-Man

[spiderkid]

[At night, Miles dons the costume and patrols, either by himself or with Peter. He stops petty crimes where he finds them, but mostly just watches the city go about its business. His favorite hangout is Fire Sector, 'cause those fire fountains are just plain cool!]

[escarabajo]

[Miles isn't the only one patrolling the Fire Sector that night: with his own powers back, Jaime's taken to sitting on a rooftop and letting the Scarab work-- like an ultra high-tech police scanner. No robberies or anything yet, but there is another certain someone swinging around the area.]

H-hey! Who's there?

[spiderkid]

[Miles swings to a stop when someone calls out his name-- someone in a weird looking blue suit.]

Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Who's asking?

[escarabajo]

I'm, er... your friendly neighborhood Blue Beetle?

[Wow, banter still sucks.] I didn't know anyone else was patrolling around here. I've never seen you around before.

[Though, to be fair, this IS his first time patrolling this part of Keeliai.]

[spiderkid]

Just getting back out, now that powers are back on.

[He gives BB a surveying look.]

So what universe are you from? One with the Avengers, or those Justice League people, or some other one? 'Cause I've sure never heard of you.

[notdreaming]

[ With her powers returned to her Kara doesn't sleep nearly as much, but she doesn't make it a habit to wander around outside as much as she used to. She's slowly becoming more comfortable in her suite, doing her best to think of Keeliai as home, and the Fire Sector especially.

But she still needs something to do at night, and sometimes she likes to go out and look at the fire fountains too. They glow so prettily in the night, and they remind her of the Firefalls of Krypton.

She hears him first, just the quietest movement of feet and hands. It's enough for her, and though she suspects it's just another vigilante sneaking around it could always be something worse. She takes to the sky and follows her ears until she finds him. ]

Hello.

[spiderkid]

[Miles turns, surprised by the voice but even more so by the flying lady.]

Whoa-- hey!

[notdreaming]

[ Her expression is carefully neutral. His reaction to her presence tells her nothing except that he isn't familiar with Super-people seeking him out. Which tells her nothing, basically. ]

Hi. What are you creeping around for?

[parallels]

[Clara isn't walking or patrolling so much as wandering. She's got an oversized hoodie on over leggings and not the usual put together outfits that she wears during the day. Unable to sleep, she's decided to go for a walk, which has become a nightly routine at this point. Tonight she heads into the fire district because all the fires keep it lit and warm. The best route for night time wandering.]

[spiderkid]

[Miles recognizes the supernanny walking around all by herself, and decides to swing by (literally).]

Hey, everything alright, Miss?

[parallels]

[And she jumps when he does. She's from the real world okay? If a guy (kid, really) swung up to you in a mask, you'd run the hell in the opposite direction. But Clara's learning that masks are sort of a thing here.]

Fine! Just having a walk at... half past midnight. Best time to enjoy the flames, you know.

[demon_brat]

[And, just like that, moments after Miles lands on a rooftop, there is another shadow perched on the ledge. Smaller even than him, and, with the yellow cape and red tunic, technically more colorful. But very, very quiet until he decides he is fine with being noticed.]

[He'll still wait to see how long it will take... the - third? Spider-Man to notice him. He kind of didn't pester the second one, but still.]

[spiderkid]

[Miles feels a tingling that lets him know something's up. He looks around, spotting the other kid perched on the roof.]

Oh. Hey.

[demon_brat]

[Robin is quiet for another moment, before looking down and over.]

[He skips... a few steps in the conclusions process (the spidermen haven't been out during the lack of powers -> they were metahuman -> things should be a little easier (for him) now that the metas were back around -> or will they?) and blurts out the next one with no - small talk.]

Are your powers reasonably returned? Or will you need a minder out here?

[Minder. Babysitter. Somebody to make sure that the older boy wouldn't hurt himself or somebody that doesn't need to get hurt in the process.]

hopefully you don't mind late...

[langsyne]

[Scott hasn't really done much as Ant-Man since arriving at the turtle, seeing no real need for it. There's an overabundance of people in this place with superpowers and plenty of big-name Avengers.

Still though, the focus on just tinkering around and building a few small things here and there have left him a bit restless, which leads him to pull out his helmet and shrinking gas and go for a little outing on the back of one of the turtle's resident bugs.

He's overdue for an exploration of the turtle anyway.

Most of what he sees is normal. The landscaping in the Wood Sector, the calm and restful bodies of water in the Water Sector....he's in the Fire Sector when he catches sight of the familiar web pattern and zooms in for a closer look.]

--Spider-Man?

[Please don't smack the tiny man wearing a helmet about a foot from your face, Miles.]

late is fine!

[spiderkid]

[Miles stops when he hears somebody say his name. But he can't see anything.]

Hello? Somebody call for Spider-Man?

[langsyne]

[Oh good, there's no giant hand swinging towards him. That's always a good sign. Now that (most of) the immediate danger is over, Scott guides his flying ant closer towards Miles, until he's about a foot away from the kid's face.]

Uh yeah, that was me.

[He sounds a little sheepish - he doesn't exactly know if this is even the Spider-Man he knows, what with all the sort-of-but-not-really familiar faces he's met around here so far.]

Nice suit. It's a little less red and blue than before. [If it was even red and blue before.] But still nice.
