[ sent straight to your communicators from the Jessica Drew comm, it’s clicked onto video and there’s a Johnny Storm lying upside on the couch, with a de-racooned eyes Gwen sitting by him, painting her nails. Jess is holding the communicator and therefore, off camera, and it’s obvious the three of them are in Gwen’s apartment

Dude. You have issues. Is there any conversation of mine you don't stalk creepily?

[Slightly sheepish, but not exactly repentant:]

When it involves him? No.

Are you going to give me the whole, "Stay away from him, it's for your own good," thing and then not tell me why? Because that's really getting old.

Well, I was planning on explaining, but I can just do that if you'd prefer it that way.

I was, for a brief period of time, Tony Stark's right hand guy, as both Peter Parker and Spider-Man. I trusted him absolutely. I -- he asked me to unmask on live TV, because he thought it would help with the, with the polical situation we were in -- and I did it, because it was him who was asking.

It ended with him threatening May and MJ, drop-kicking me out of a skyscraper, and setting supervillains on my tail.

We're ... on better terms now, I guess, which is why I'm not trying to punch him in the face as we speak, but -- you see why I don't really want him cozying up to you two? He's not even a bad guy, but he won't hesitate to cross the line if he takes it into his head that something needs to be done. I don't want you guys in the crossfire when he does.

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. Sounds like something any of the Ultimates would do back home. I guess I just thought since the one in my world had done stuff for you and me... Maybe this one wouldn't be so bad.

[SOMEWHAT LATER, he reappears looking undefinably frazzled 'round the edges.]

If you could take that perspective to Jess, I'd appreciate it. She's taking an internship with Tony and she won't -- [flaily gestures of annoyance] -- she won't listen to me.

[molecularity]

Well, no shit she's not listening to you. It's Tony Stark. She's only like his biggest fan.

[incywincyhero]

I just don't want her to get hurt.

I'll tell you the same thing I told her about someone else... You can try and protect her all you want and you should within acceptable limits, but you're not god and she has to make her own decisions. You're not responsible for her screw ups.

And stalking her to make sure she stays safe is not an acceptable option. No stalking allowed.

[He looks all set to make some sort of indignant response, and then pauses.]

Not even a little?

No! No stalking!

[ bad peter! no soup for you! ]
