If you’re going to call me short, at least say it to my face, kid.

[starkinternship]

do you want me to video chat or come over?

[is he teasing? maybe...]

[engineous]

Punk! Grow taller before you talk down to me.

(once i stop laughing.... i'll be able to tag XD)

[starkinternship]

i could just hang from the ceiling... it's kinda like being taller.

[engineous]

Spiders on ceilings get the broom treatment.

[starkinternship]

that would be so mean!
what did those poor innocent spiders ever do to you?

[engineous]

Have to be honest, not the biggest fan of them. I’m glad your abilities aren’t like Lang’s.

[starkinternship]

i mean - i can't say that having some sort of venom wouldn't be useful, but i'm okay being sticky and really strong.

also - i can hang upside down without getting a head rush.

[engineous]

I bet you could synthesize your own venom if you really wanted to. Thought you didn't like hurting people, though.

[starkinternship]

says the guy who put an 'instant kill' mode in my suit.

not all spider venoms are deadly though - just painful or irritating.

i don't wanna kill anybody. and i try not to hurt people if i don't have to.

[engineous]

That you HACKED INTO. It was buried in code for a reason!

I know some baddies who think you're irritating without any venom.

[starkinternship]

for the record - i didn't do any of the actual hacking.

[he was an accomplice. shhh.]

but - i think you secretly wanted me to find all of that stuff.

[come on - he knows how smart Peter is. and persistent.]

baddies are allowed to think i'm irritating. that means i'm doing my job right.

[engineous]

You just shot your own argument in the foot. If I wanted you to do the hacking, then admitting you didn't do it yourself means said hacking didn't count.

I knew it was a possibility. Just thought you'd either be responsible enough not to do it, or responsible enough to handle it.

[starkinternship]

silly logic.

i did go through your 'training wheels' protocol though. but only because i was locked in your giant storage facility for nearly an hour.

[though - he's still not sure he needs 500 different webshooter settings. overboard much, Mr. Stark?]

i did figure it out. but i'm a lot better at building computers than hacking them.

[he's still pretty sure Mr. Stark was aware that a curious kid like Peter was going to work on bypassing his security features. it's what Mr. Stark would've done.]

[engineous]

If I put that wall there to test how high you could climb, and you cheated by telling someone else to break through it, how is that silly logic?

Can we just agree that you kinda fucked up but so did I and just get past it? I didn't know you were holding on to resentment like this, Pete, it's unhealthy.

[starkinternship]

i... don't resent anything.

and 'silly logic' was sarcastic, i guess? text message doesn't have intonation

can we go back to when i was calling you short? =)

[engineous]

Only if you let me go back to talking about swatting you with a broom.

[starkinternship]

you realize i could snap the broom like a twig, right?

[engineous]

Yes. But will you?

[starkinternship]

probably depends on how hard you swat me with it.

[engineous]

You think I'd hit hard enough to hurt?

[starkinternship]

you'd have to be wearing the suit to hit me that hard.
but no.
unless you turned evil.
have you?
is there a way i would know?

[engineous]

If I'm wearing the suit, at that point I'd just fly up there and grab you.

Hm, that's a good question. You don't think you'd be able to tell that I'm evil?

[starkinternship]

assuming you could catch me.

[this is fun... he almost wants to try this now. almost.]

well - i probably could. would depends on if it was OTT evil or subtle evil. like just evil enough that it looks almost natural.

but - even then, pretty sure the spidey-sense would pick up on it. it really doesn't like bad guys.

[engineous]

Did you get an upgrade in your abilities that lets you go supersonic?

That's true, but it also know who you trust, right? Seems like it'd be interesting to test, though I never want it to happen ever.
