[ SO THIS IS A GWEN waiting patiently outside the mac for a jess.

and somehow manages to just look pretty nonchalant. go her. ]

[ ... SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THEM NOT-NERVOUS where's the condiment king when you need him

wait wrong comic company ]

Yeah, sure.

[ off they go? ]

[ OFF THEY GO and

timeskip they're at the subway ]

Oh, man, people here are still weird.

[ dead eyeing the dancing hobo in the corner ]

[ she just watches the hobo dance

it's like a train wreck, she can't look away ]

Wow. That takes guts. Or lots of alcohol.

Should he even be able to afford alcohol....

[ THE SUBWAY TRAIN CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH ]

Maybe he panhandles...

[ YOU SAID IT ]

Panwhat?

[ STARES AT ]

Begs for money?

[ ... WHAT ]

Oh... Yeah... I guess that makes sense.

[ awkward.... and here comes the train ]

You shouldn't get your hopes up, by the way. It's nothing like home.

I figured as much. I just... need to see it, you know?

[ make sure it's really not there. ]

Yeah. That's how I was. I dunno, it was just kind of... heartbreaking, I guess.

[ boarding the train ]

I think it would be weirder if stuff was the same. Because then we'd be expecting more than just the house to be there. And I already keep looking over my shoulder and waiting for Aunt May to tell me to do the dishes.

[ chewing on her lower lip. um. ]

So... How was Aunt May?

Really good. Stuff was pretty crazy for a while there, but it's all getting back to what passes for normal. I think she loves having a house full of crazy teenagers.

[ also things are better now that gwen's not running away from home again. ]

[ and standing up in the train, grabbing on one of the hanging things ]

Yeah, honestly, I'm not surprised. I'm just -- you know -- glad she's okay.

So who was it with you then? Besides Johnny and Peter.

[ also grabbing one of those cool hanging things, those are the best ]

It's me, Peter, Johnny and Bobby living with Aunt May. MJ starting to hang around a lot more again and Kitty just came back from wherever she ran off two, but neither of them live with us.

[ kitty.... awkward face..... ]

Wait, so why are Johnny and Bobby even living with you guys?

[ definitely awkward face ]

Bobby's parents kicked him out for being a mutant and Kitty's mom kicked him out of wherever he'd been sleeping at her place. Johnny... had some trouble at home. He just showed up on our doorstep one day and then passed out on Peter. The rest is history.

[ note to self to ask johnny about it later ]

But it sounds like you guys have a lot of fun together though.

[ she smiles fondly ]

We do. We're like one giant, crazy family.

Sounds like a pretty nice family.

[ wistful look. rocking back and forth on her heels while hanging from the hanging thing ]

You'd probably fit right in.

[ ... more than probably, she would definitely fit right in. ]

[ SMALL GRIN

DOESN'T NEED THIS TO BE ANGSTY AND AWKWARD ]

Yeah, maybe.

[ shrug. looking around at all the weird people on dis train ]

So how long have you been stuck here?

Since February.

[ rocking back and forth on her heels ]

It's seriously not that bad though. I kind of have a life here, you know?

That's... six months. Wow.

[ she's a little surprised by that. ]

Have Peter and Johnny been here that whole time?
