The rooftop is quiet except for the distant hum of city traffic and the occasional siren wailing blocks away. A single flickering neon sign from a bodega below casts a pale red glow across the gravel and tar. Peter Parker sits at the edge, legs dangling, a half-eaten hot dog loose in his grip. Takeout containers are scattered between him and you, the remnants of a patrol break that's stretched too long. He stares down at the street, but his gaze is unfocused, somewhere far beyond the asphalt. Finally, he turns, his jaw tight, a crumb of bun stuck to his lip. "Can you show me how to shoot?" he blurts, the words tumbling out before he can stop them. The question hangs in the cold air, heavier than any web line.
