[ from the other side of the room, there will be a sound of jerked, sudden movement and rustling of fabric, immediately followed by a loud thump. like a teenager's head hitting the underside of the lab table he was sleeping beneath. plus, a hissed shuck, which, is not 'fuck', but is close. ]

Eggs and what?

[ legitmately confused, because he grew up in a lab, and then lost all his memories, and then grew up (???) in a glade in the middle of a huge ass maze and they made up their own slang and dumb phrases. either way, after thomas drags himself up, he's sluggishly blinking at clint for a moment, before looking down at his hands and frowning. dude. ]

You don't even have eggs...

[ worst wake up call e v e r . ]

[ peter wanders into the lab just in time to overhear their conversation. he looks as good as ever, which is to say, disheveled and crumpled in every respect, hands relaxed on the straps of his backpack. leaving the compound as peter parker isn't the best idea, but bringing out the spandex in such close quarters seems equally risky. he barely keeps aunt may in the dark, and she trusts him implicitly. ]

[ as he shuffles over: ] Bakey. [ said as if it's a known fact. ] It's a funny saying, like — sorry, do they not have jokes in the future? Or bacon? Did you run out?

[ joking, but also not. ]

Yeah. Epidemic, only the funny people and pigs weren't immune.

[ thomas is pretty much terrible at jokes, tbh, because that sounds completely serious when it comes out of his mouth, as he sets about pulling himself out of his makehshift bed, and grabbing the military pack from the ground next to his mattress. ]

Machete, knives, couple guns.

[ the guns he'd picked up last. he doesn't like having them, but isn't stupid enough to go out there with just a few blades. ]

There's a weapons shed if we need more.

[ He eyes Clint's spill with a little wariness, mouth softening into a line. Banding with civilian survivors is his only option, but that doesn't mean he likes it.

At the talk of weapons, Peter looks past Clint and Thomas more than at them. ]


I have a thing. [ said with complete confidence, though he's sure the words will inspire doubt. ] It's a science thing. Very effective.

[ did that sound intelligent?? bullshit bullshit bullshit ]

[ peter, you're getting squinted at so hard.

though he does pause to shoot a look back at clint, before shrugging nonchalantly. ]


Hasn't failed me yet.

[ one of the few weapons they had in the glade, and something newt used to carry around on him a lot. maybe it's part sentiment, but there's practicality as well. chances are, if he's in an altercation with the things outside, they already got too close to him for any other options.

however, some of the knives are throwing knives, which he's developed... some level of proficiency for. ]


Might want a back up. [ said to peter about his... science thing. ]

sorry for the wait!

[ Peter makes an effort to prolong the silence, hoping to wait them out. It's obvious the topic makes him uncomfortable from the way he rolls on the balls of his feet and fiddles with the hem of his shirt, glancing around the room for an easy out — a compelling explanation.

Of course, Thomas and Clint will definitely, absolutely, 100% notice him doing super parkour while wall-crawling and webslinging, if they run into trouble. And Aunt May and Gwen aren't here... Maybe it's better to warn them beforehand, so they don't panic mid fight. He glances at Thomas' armoury. Doesn't seem like the panic type but but but ]


[ With a sigh, he flicks his wrist and shoots a web across the room. ]

Super science thing. [ a pleading look at Clint. ] Don't make it weird, man. [ because Thomas comes from crazy future land, so he seems more likely to accept it. ]

[ okay that's... that's a thing. a science thing? sure, why not. it probably has it's uses, though Thomas can't really think of them as of yet, aside from blinding people or making sticky notes a hell of a lot sticker. but sure. why not. ]

It's kind of weird.

[ but he's not going to go on an exposition about it. just do your weird thing, dude. thomas tugs his backpack up onto his shoulders, stepping around the lab table he'd been sleeping under, and moves over to the other two. ]

We going?
