[Hey there, network! Have a Spider-Man!]

So, those of you who know Spider-Man know how he's -- I'm-- always swinging around on webs, right? Well, truth of the matter is, I'm running short on the stuff and not entirely sure how to make more, so I need the help of some of our resident geniuses. I dunno, Tony Stark maybe? Somebody who's good with chemicals and technical stuff.

Let me know, I'd owe you big time.

Thanks!

[So here's an instance in which Peter feels it's a better idea to pull his mask on and reply with video. Because--]

Wow. Is this another alternate reality thing? Because I'm starting to feel like I'm drowning in the multiverse theory, and you are totally freaking me out.

[Thankfully the video feed is mostly just his head. Because the rest of his costume is still pretty banged up. And Spidey's totally not even in his assigned suite, so he's feeling pretty identity-secure on multiple levels.]

Could be. Depends. You from an Avengers universe or an Ultimates one? [Because that's how Miles distinguishes them.]

[That makes Peter tilt his head curiously to one side. Under normal circumstances, that's just such a weird question.] Ultimates.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and guess that you've been here longer than me, so I've gotta ask -- Why are they called Avengers? What're they avenging??

[spiderkid]

Finally! Somebody else gets how little sense "Avengers" makes!

[Then Miles realizes what this means. If he's dressed like that, and he's from a universe with the Ultimates...]

This might be a little forward, but would you mind meeting in person? Yanno, Spidey to Spidey?

[Spider-man is American, right? Frank hopes so anyway, the only languages he knows well enough to write on are English and Latin and he doubts many people understand archaic Latin.]

i always thought it was the kind of thing you could just make. like one of the superpowers.

Ew gross! Why would u think that??

Re: text;

[iguanasolution]

carrying spider webs around is even grosser!!!!

Re: text;

[spiderkid]

theyre not REAL spider webs!

[manofiron]

How does a Spider-Man run short on webs? Isn't that part of being a spider-person? Making webs?

[spiderkid]

Why does everyone think that? We're not some creepy spider-people.

[manofiron]

You're the one who introduced yourself that way. It's not my fault you led me to believe that you were a spider-person.

[spiderkid]

It's not my fault you're apparently from one of the universes without a Spider-Man in it.

( Someone who isn't going to ask where the solution came from!! )

If you have a sample of the solution, I might be able to come up with something for you.

Re: video

[spiderkid]

[Oh thank God.]

That'd be awesome, thanks!

It's not a problem at all, you can stop by my residence in Metal if you'd like - there's a makeshift lab set up there.

( and if none of that will work, there's always Wayne Enterprises. )

Spider-man, was it? It's a pleasure to meet you.

Re: video

[spiderkid]

I'll swing by!

You too, Ms...?

[barebacking]

As much as I dislike the suggestion ... find a spider woman?

Re: voice;

[spiderkid]

[Deeeeep sigh.]

It doesn't work that way!

[barebacking]

Another spider man, then?

[bolthead]

If you haven't found anyone yet or if you'd like a second opinion, I could give it a shot. I work a lot with chemicals back home.

[also he finally set up a tiny lab in his suite and it hasn't been used yet really and that's a waste.]

[spiderkid]

I've got one offer but if that doesn't work out, I'll let you know. Thanks.

[bolthead]

No problem. [Although he is curious:] You don't have the formula for it written down somewhere?

[Monet is just. Staring.]

Spider-Man? You're what, ten?

[spiderkid]

[Damn is he sick of this question.]

Uh, no.

What, did you win the shortest lookalike contest?
