[Kaine was sitting at one of the numerous cafes in the Earth sector, wearing his Scarlet Spider costume and feeling like an idiot in doing so. Unfortunately, he couldn't make this as Kaine, not when he couldn't remember the kid's real name to save his life.

At least this time he knew how to work the damn console.]

If you know who I am, check in. I might have something that belongs to you.

[Could that have been less cryptic? Probably. Hopefully it works.]

Unlike you, I'm not lazy.

You really don't. It's melodious.

[unobtainableredemption]

It's vexatious. [Peter isn't the only one with a thesaurus. You should have heard him talk when he was still crazy.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[Vaxatious! Peter almost wants to clap at the word.]

Mellifluous.

I'm not having this conversation with you.

[nerdylilspidey]

Awwwww, but I love all our little talks!

[unobtainableredemption]

That makes one of us.

Denial is unhealthy.

[He's about to say something about a river in Egypt when he realizes that's just sinking down to Peter's level.]

Why are you bothering me?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

That's the one.

Meet you there.

[With that, she cuts the feed to leave.]

[She's waiting on said roof with her backpack when he arrives.]

[unobtainableredemption]

[He actually doesn't remember what roof that was, but he knew the sector it was in, and figured he'd just... find her.

A theory that proved sound when he, sure enough, sees the girl in Ben's costume waiting for him on a roof. How exactly was he supposed to remember what roof it was? Is this some kind of necessary superhero skill?

Feeling a little vindictive, he wills the suit invisible and drops silently onto the rooftop. Let her think he's running late.]

Do you have an idea who the owner might be?

[unobtainableredemption]

I know exactly whose it is, I just can't remember his name.

[hulkintraining]

Oh, I see. That makes things a little difficult.

[unobtainableredemption]

That's why I'm hoping he'll come to me.

[hulkintraining]

Yeah, I get it.

Do you know which Sector he lives in? Just in case he doesn't respond...if you spend some time in his Sector you might run into him sooner.

[unobtainableredemption]

No, this was the best shot I had.

Who the hell are you, anyway?

[Soon enough, Miles is at the cafe and heads in, instantly spotting the other spider-clad patron.]

Hey.

[unobtainableredemption]

[Picks up a bag next to his leg and hands it to him.]

I think this belongs to you. You might want to look at it in private.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Considering what a shocker it was to find a version of Kaine here, not to mention what he revealed to her, she definitely remembered which rooftop it was. Some things you just don't forget when it's part of a memory like that.

She has no problem with waiting, especially since it gives her time to swing her backpack off for when Kaine does arrive. She isn't sure how he'll feel about her having this photograph, but considering how pricky Kaine can get, she hopes he'll at least appreciate the fact she picked it up for him during its auction.

And then her spider-sense suddenly goes off, sending her spinning to face the direction it's coming from- it's the same feeling she gets off of Kaine, but there's no one there?]

[unobtainableredemption]

[What the...? Did she know he was there? ...Of course she did. This wasn't Peter, he didn't cancel her spider-sense. But even if that was the case, how did she know where he was? She seemed to, at any rate, the way she was staring right at him. Peter could never do that.

Kaine leaps from one end of the roof to the other. He had to test this.]

[nerdylilspidey]

Because I can! [No really. Because he can.]

I thought we were friends. Comrades. Brothers.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[May's spider-sense was far more sensitive than Peter's ever was, and as he moves, she's still tracking him, even if she can't see him. After a moment, she quickly shoots a tiny burst of webbing at where it says he should be next. Even if she can navigate and spot blind, it doesn't actually mean she wants to.]

Okay, I know you're there, but how are you doing that?

[unobtainableredemption]

[Okay, she definitely knows where he is. That's... kind of impressive, actually. Kaine barely manages to dodge the webbing as he thinks the suit back into visibility.]

Magic. [Pulls an envelope out of his costume and tosses it her way.] I'm afraid to know what I look like where you're from.

[unobtainableredemption]

[Is grateful for the mask, because that definitely hit too close to home. He had thought that Peter had seen him as such, but after what happened in New York...]

That makes one of us.
