Of every face that Connor’s internal database failed to recognize since the beginning of his short stay, the only source of familiarity was found in the inanimate statues of Mr. and Mrs. Claus mounted in the lobby. He recognzied then as symbols of generosity and goodwill towards all humanity, but something about the way the sculptor chose to craft their features seemed...off.

He didn’t have any business lingering and passing judgements on the craftsmanship but there was no lieutenant to bark at him for “spacing out” and it all left him at, for lack of a better phrase, a loss.

"We don't really avenge anything," Peter says, and for the first time he really thinks about the name and wonders how anyone came up with it. Avengers. Why did he never really think about the meaning of that name until now? "We just fight bad guys. We're um." Suddenly, Peter feels embarrassed admitting it and he's not even entirely sure why.

"We're superheroes."

"Um," Peter says, because he's pretty sure that Connor is patronizing him. Maybe he thinks he's lying. Peter's not sure, but he's trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

"Want me to show you?"

"No, no, I wasn't going to," Peter says quickly. Did people generally hurt androids? Peter doesn't know. Instead, he steps back, and back, and back again, and surveys the area. Then satisfied, he races forward, then launches himself up onto the ceiling where he easily sticks to the bright pink surface.

Peter turns to look down at Connor and smiles, then waves. "See?"

"Yeah, that all sounds right," Peter says, still looking down at Connor. "I also use my web-shooters."

Peter demonstrates; he turns his hand knuckle face-forward and slings his fingers out. With a flick of the wrist, Peter sends a shot of web fluid at a wall. It stretches long against it in a classic spider's web shape.

Peter's eyes widen and he drops to the ground without realizing it; his spidey-reflexes go off, same as they might if he were a cat who was suddenly dropped, and he lands cleanly on the ground.

"Don't -- don't eat that stuff," Peter says, scrambling to Connor's side. "It'll make you sick."

st_arkintern: (What's this?)

Peter blinks, watching wordlessly as Connor pulls his fingers away and rubs them against one another. It takes a few long moments after Connor is done speaking for Peter to register that he was being asked a question.

"No," he says. "I made it. In science lab."

Peter smiles with pride.

"Yeah," he says. "Thank you. It took me a really long time to get the formula right. I still work on improving it here, too." With more limited resources than he had back at home. He'd been able to bring some stuff back from the OtherWorlds, but...

"Did you want to try my web-shooters out?"

"There's not a lot to do here," he says. "I mean, yeah, I got classes, but most of the time I'm just messing around with stuff like my web-fluid."

That and a suit design, though that had sort-of been tabled since Tony showed up.

"If you ever change your mind, let me know."

Peter isn't quite sure that anyone who didn't know his secret identity would tell him as much, but he accepts the compliment all the same.

Still...

My place.

"What do you want to do, though?" Peter asks.

"Yeah," Peter says, agreeable, because who doesn't want to progress with their mission? It had taken him weeks to acknowledge and accept their situation fully and even longer to find new objectives that could be met here, in this place. "But now that you can't, what would you want to do?"

st_arkintern: (I didn't expect that.)

Peter finds himself wishing that he had talked to Vision even once to know if any of this were normal. Movies and TV and books had such varied depictions of androids that it was hard for Peter to know what "normal" was for androids.

Then again, was there a normal for humans, either?

Peter quickly pushes the thought away and returns mentally to the conversation at hand.

"You can't do that and something else at the same time?"

Date: 2018-12-15 05:55 am (UTC)
st_arkintern: (Mm.)
From: [personal profile] st_arkintern
"Can't?" Peter repeats. "Are you physically unable to or are you not permitted to?"

st_arkintern: (Attentive student.)
From: [personal profile] st_arkintern
"Do you know Isaac Asmiov?" he asks. There's a pause there before Peter continues. "The Three Rules of Robotics?"
