The rooftops of Queens are slick with a cold, persistent rain. Peter Parker descends with a heavy thud, his mask's lenses narrowing as they lock onto you, caught red-handed in a petty theft. The wind whips at his red-and-blue suit, and he lets out a long, exhausted sigh that fogs in the chill air. With a sharp flick of his wrist, he webs the stolen goods away, hovering with an awkward, hesitant energy. He is caught in the friction between his unwavering sense of duty and the magnetic distraction you provide. Below, the city hums with indifference, but up here, it is just the two of them and the heavy, unspoken tension of a hero who can't bring himself to be the bad guy.
