[A masked face comes onto the screen and Spider-Man is obviously up high somewhere, because the wind noise is loud and almost overbearing. He sets the phone up then shuffles back a bit, crouching on the edge of a building.]

Holy frozen Spider-Toes, Batman! Wait, wrong superhero. [He shakes his head with a chuckle, then blows air between his

Maybe it's the weather's way of getting you to scurry back to your web earlier.

[amazing_spidey]

Oh, believe me, Bluebell, I'm getting myself comfy in my web as we speak.

[He pans the camera around to show the web he's made in the Underground.] See?

[softenedbyme]

[That's not even what she meant, damn it.]

No blanket?

[amazing_spidey]

Nah, I'll be fine until I go home later. I've gotta be around to help out.

[softenedbyme]

...Okay.

[But if he gets sick she's going to give him stern looks.]

[amazing_spidey]

Hey. I'll be okay. I promise.

[softenedbyme]

Anything else isn't an option.

[She likes your fingers and probably your toes too.]

[amazing_spidey]

Right. So I'll be okay, you'll be okay, and we can stop being grumpy, right?

[softenedbyme]

I'm not being grumpy, I'm being worried!

[...She realizes how much that sounds like Charles. Oh no.]

...I'll try.

[amazing_spidey]

Oh, suuuure. [He chuckles.]

I'll be okay. I swear.

[softenedbyme]

I know. Get yourself something warm to drink when you're done for the night.

[Or he can come home, and she'll make him some hot chocolate.]

[amazing_spidey]

I will, I will. Don't wait up!

[This is where he would wink, if he wasn't wearing a mask.]

[softenedbyme]

I wasn't going to.

[She'll wink for the both of them.]

[amazing_spidey]

[It's a long while before he finally shows up, at her window. He taps his fingers against it, mask still on, crouched against the wall outside, clinging to it by what most people would think was magic.]

[Raven looks up from the book she had been curled up and reading, breaking into a smile when she sees him outside. The book is set aside and she quickly yanks the window up so he can crawl in.]

...Welcome back.

[amazing_spidey]

[Peter crawls through the window, peeling his mask off and flopping down in the nearest chair, legs over one arm of it, his back to the other arm.]

God, I'm so tired. [It's almost whined at her, because when Peter is tired, he's exhausted.]
