Jeez Pete even I know if you're going to be lazy and throw everything into one load, you at least wash in cold.

[He didn't even need minions to tell him that.]

You really should, if you get the chance. He's a great guy.

[One that he still feels extremely guilty for dicking over for years.]

At least give me the highlights. Lowlights?

[shutterbugged]

I was distracted! By very important superhero stuff!

Well, at the rate we're going I'm not sure we'll ever meet unless he gets ported in.

Lowlights, lowlights...you know about the dick on the moon, right?

[notyourfathersosborn]

...You don't know where the knob is to change the water temperature in the washing machine, do you?

Is it bad I hope he does? I mean, Uncle Matt used to be here, why not Franklin?

[This place would be lucky to have him.]

...What?

[shutterbugged]

Of course I know where it--you're being ridiculous.

[ He knows now... ]

He's got an even chance, the way I figure it. I mean, we've had multiple spider-people per spider-leg, it's strange we've only had a couple of Daredevil...ites. Dare-ing doers? White ninjas? Anyway, they've been pretty thin on the ground.

It happened before my time, in the City--I think Tank Girl did it? Also, the Statue of Liberty got turned into a Skrulltue of Liberty, but that was way later.

[ Around the time Mayday got replaced by a Skrull, but he's not sharing that story. ]

[notyourfathersosborn]

Somehow I don't believe you.

[Normie's onto you, Pete.]

If I had to guess, I'm thinking they would prefer the term "devils." Maybe not dad, but Uncle Matt and Darkdevil.

Wait, wait! Okay so someone named Tank Girl went to the moon and what? Left a strap-on there? And why would a skrull pretend to be the statue of liberty?

i crack up every time I have him say "dick"

[shutterbugged]

Well, that's on you, not me.

That's a bit ambiguous when there are actual devils around, don't you think? [ Arguably including Reilly... ]

I don't know if she went to the moon, I just know that she drew a dick on the moon, with lasers or something.

It wasn't an actual Skrull, it was defaced. By Skrulls. When they tried to infiltrate.

[notyourfathersosborn]

I'm pretty sure Darkdevil is an actual devil. Or something of that nature, anyway. [Right, Peter wouldn't know who that is.] Darkdevil's a member of the New... er... new New Warriors, along with Phil and at one point May--[So not getting into how she got kicked out of her own team.]--and he's got Uncle Matt's schtick and most of his costume, but a whole lot more devil-ness to the face and voice.

[That actually causes Normie to sputter a bit.]

Hang on. She drew a dick on the moon? Like, you could see it from Earth and everything?! How is that even possible?

[Damn it, Peter, stop throwing him curveballs!]

There were Skrulls in The City?

[shutterbugged]

Don't worry, we've met. He's a great kid. And yes, before you say anything else, I know your Uncle Pete feels differently. [ He tries not to judge, but... "tries" is the operative word, here. There's a lot that he's heard about his older counterpart that doesn't quite jive for him. ] Uh, in the interests of not spilling beans that aren't mine to spill--do you know his secret identity?

[ Peter felt the same way when he first saw it. ] Honestly, I have no idea. It was before my time and I'm sure someone told me at some point, but with everything else that's happened...

Just a handful, impersonating another handful of imPorts. I can't remember the full roster--Sherlock Holmes and Blue Beetle were two of them, I think, but not the ones who are here now. At least three or four others--and Mayday.

[notyourfathersosborn]

Darkdevil was here?! [That's news to him.] Not officially. Though I've always had my suspicions.

[Reilly probably shouldn't have pulled the disappearing as civilian/reappearing several seconds later as superhero thing in front of Normie. That combined with Reilly's uncanny resemblance to Peter and Darkdevil's weird obsession with Spider-Girl really make him feel good about his guess.]

...May?
