we will never be a nuclear family

[incywincyhero]

WHO: The Spider-Family, and friends!
WHERE: A house in Bed-Stuy, soon to be the SPIDER-HAUS.
WHEN: All day Sunday!
WARNINGS: Spider-Shenanigans.
SUMMARY: The Spider-Family movies into their new home.
FORMAT: Quick, then whatever!

[The new residence of some 70% of the City's spider-themed populace is an unprepossessing little house in Brooklyn. Or not so little, what with six bedrooms and a basement apartment, but it has that down-home vibe to it that Peter hadn't even realized he'd been missing in the MAC until he signed the lease papers.

Peter is the first one to arrive today, since he wanted to unlock all the doors and turn on all the utilities before eight -- no, seven -- teenagers come crashing in. After hauling in the boxes and bags he brought with him in the rental car (which presciently includes two grocery sacks full of snacks: see above note re: teenagers), he retrieves himself a coke and goes out to sit on the front stoop, waiting for everyone else to come swinging in.]

You and at least three other guys who've been here before you, I think. [ SIGH. That's at least three Spider-Men too many. ]

Look, I'm not exactly sure what to tell you. I don't know much about it— you'd have to ask May. The only advice I can give you is that if you come across some black ooze with a mind of its own, don't touch it, and definitely don't let it stab you.

[ A BEAT oh god stabbing. He doesn't like the sound of stabbing. ] O-okay. I'll. Okay.

[ Kind of. Clutching those books defensively now tbh. ] Um, where should I put...

[bedeviledspider]

[ Chuckles, a little. Because it's... cute how Miles is worried about about stabbing?! Wow, these Spider-People are twisted. ]

Just put them by that mattress over there. I'll sort it out later.

[ Then, a little softer: ] Look, kid. Don't worry about it. Even if that thing comes around, I'm sure everyone here would let themselves get stabbed first before it got to you.

I mean, we're not– [ Family? ] We're not exactly buds. But we're Spiders. And that's what Spiders do. Or so they keep telling me.

[ Miles does that!! Piles them up right next to the mattress, before giving the other boy a surprised look. ]

Um, that's-- n... I just-- I don't want anyone else to get stabbed on my account either. I am still a superhero.

[ 8C Well Reilly, Miles would like to be buds, stop being so tsundere (again)!! ]

Are you, um, from their Universe too?

[bedeviledspider]

[ Is that a proud smile on Reilly's face? IT JUST MIGHT BE (don't tell anyone Miles it's a secret okay). ] With that attitude, you just might make a good Spider-Man.

[ That question seems to throw him off a little, though, judging by the nervous look on his face. ] I... not exactly? Well, I mean- May and I are from the same world, but the others—
