Oh, and that means I'm not trying to help?

Would you prefer I let you kill off a bad guy or two? Because trust me, you won't feel any better, you'll feel worse. And I am not letting you do that to yourself!

[superoverachiever]

No, it means you don't care!

You already stopped me, alright? I thought it was because you were my friend. But you just -- you're -- [Alright, not only has she lost any hope of a compelling argument, she's lost her train of thought.] Rrrrgh!

[wallcrawler]

How does that even make sense?

If I didn't care about you why the heck would I wait around out here all this time just for you to finish blowing off steam and finally show up?

Or are you gonna try and convince me you were really just downstairs this whole time reading?

[Though he wouldn't believe that excuse even if he did know about your romance novel habit.]

[She digs her hands into her knees, growling a little. Pete has a point, but that doesn't mean she has to like it.] Fine. I dunno. Maybe you have a point.

[wallcrawler]

[Well, at least they were done shouting. For now. And he has to take a deep breath just to make sure he doesn't start it up again.]

I'm just trying to help. Alright? I know I'm not the Parker you're used to, but I really do want to help. But there's only so much I can do if there's things you're not telling me. Especially if you're holding them against me.

If you want, I can just...leave you alone for a while, I guess. Give us both time to calm down. Because I don't know how he feels about it, but I know I'm not a big fan of yelling. Not at you.

[Or, well, anyone not completely psychotic. Ava may have had a temper on her, but she was still a good person. And a pretty good friend, considering not a lot of people would have kept their mouths shut about the secret identity thing for this long.]

[Ava's slow to consider that, clutching her knees and staring at the ground in frustration. But she manages to choke back a plethora of uselessly immature responses to come up with] Alright. Yeah. Give me some time. I won't do anything stupid, I promise.
