WHO: Gerry and Reilly
WHERE: The cold, hard streets of the City
WHEN: After Reilly returns to the City
WARNINGS: Spider-Angst
SUMMARY: Hiding their ~*True Feelings*~ by training and beating up bad guys
FORMAT: Quick



[The relief and happiness that he felt about his bro being back in the City was quickly overshadowed by the loss of Spider-Girl and Peter Parker (not that he talked to Peter much though (Or so he thought)). So, when Reilly suggested that they pick up their training, Gerry was quick to agree. Not only did he probably need it, since he hadn't really had a good patrol in a while, and, oh yeah, it kept him from thinking too much and being sad that May, of all people, had been sent home.

augh this is so late

No worries ever!

[Surprisingly, Gerry wasn't that caught off guard by Reilly's flashy entrance. Maybe he was used to it from back home, which wasn't likely, or maybe he really was getting a bit better by being here. Even though the teleporting was new, Reilly had been the one training him, after all.

Gerry was thankful that the mask hid his face (even if Spider-Man masks somehow show expressions), since even though he was glad Darkdevil was back, it was muted by the disappearances, and he didn't want to give away that he actually kind of missed Spider-Girl. Reilly would never let him hear the end of it.]

Hey. [He turned and gave a small wave.] How was home?

<3

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Hey. Crazy people with powers terrorizing others for money or kicks. Same as always.

[Bonding enough to finally get that hug?

Gerry crosses his arms over his chest, trying to appear relaxed, but is probably failing due to the fact that he always just seems to be kind of awkward.]

You were handling it okay, though, right? Not lamenting the fact you couldn't have called me for backup?

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

The day I have to rely on you is the day I hang up the spandex.



Come on. We have work to do.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

[He laughs a little.] That might be sooner than you think, then.

[He kind of wants to ask about if he ever got back together with Reilly and Spider-Girl, but it almost seems a bit too weird, and he doesn't want to know if it's bad news.]

Right behind you, partner. [He webs a line to the next building, waiting to follow after Reilly.] What's it going to be tonight? Muggers? Gangs? Drug dealers?

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

We'll see about that!



Tonight? My senses may deceive me, but I'm thinking drug dealers.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Gerry keeps up, staying just a little ways behind to follow after Reilly, jumping down onto the rooftop once the other stops.]

I'll follow your lead on it, sensei.

[The title was more playful than anything for him, but under the bravado and what not, drug dealers really did make Gerry nervous, since most of them carried guns.

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

You did not just call me that.



Think you can web their guns from here? I can start with the fireballs. Give them a distraction.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

You have to admit that it totally works for you.

[He nods, moving closer to the edge.] Give me just a sec, here.

[And he looks over each guy in the group, finding where, he assumes, each one is keeping their gun, whether he sees them or not. He hasn't practice too much with webbing multiple targets though, but he just needed to hit the guns, not wrap up each bad guy.

With a deep breath, he shoot about five lines from each spinneret and hits the guns, pulling them up and out of their reach.]

Go!

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't. Sensei implies old and possibly growing a beard or something. Matt is sensei. I'm--

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Gerry isn't far behind once he webs the guns to the side of the building, jumping down behind Darkdevil and watching his back, fighting off a couple guys. He's still a bit sloppy and erratic from inexperience, but he is definitely getting better.]

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Not getting tired yet, are you?

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

Of course not! This is too easy.

[He takes out the next couple of bad guys easily enough. Yeah, he's looking pretty good, but he's totally not spider-sensing a guy coming up behind him.]

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Spider-Boy! Behind you!

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

It takes Gerry a second to react, but even though he doesn't have the sense, he's fast enough to react and take the guy out before looking back at Reilly indignantly.]

Spider-Man.

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Really?

You could have been shot, and nicknames are your first priority?

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

Okay, I couldn't have been shot. I took their guns, remember?

[Huffs.]

The nickname is important! Spider-Boy is like getting demoted. It's humiliating!

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

They could've been smuggling more of them. You can't be sure.



It feels weird calling you Spider-Man when there's another one here. He does have seniority, you know. Over both of us.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

Fine...

[He webs another two guys to the wall.]

I guess Spider-Boy works, then. It's better than everything else I've tried.

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Well, you're not a man just yet. Maybe then.

You are improving, after all.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Wait, what? Did that really just happen? Yes, this is worth taking a moment of pause.]

Did you just compliment me?

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Maybe I did.

Not the point, is it? Come on, Spider-Kid, we're not done yet.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

[He just stares for a moment, because seriously... what? Then follows along after Darkdevil.]

I don't know, that seems like a pretty important point right now.

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

You're not going to let up about this, are you? All right! Fine! I praised you.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm marking this as one of the best days ever... Either that or you're sick. [He looks at Darkdevil.] Are you sure nothing happened when you were back home?

[Yeah, guess who totally forgot about what they were doing.]

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

I'm not sick! And nothing happened back home!

Did you just forget that we're patrolling here? Get back to work.
