"You know what they did. What they got was leaning on the soft side, with context applied." Kaine inhaled, sharply, and held it. No fists thrown, no screaming - though the internal want to, God. "I'm me. That's all I've got for you."

"She walked in front of a truck. I stopped her from ending up as a smear on the sidewalk, so I got to swear at her for being an idiot."

The old me would have torn your face from your skull for that.

"She was fine. I pulled her out the way. I don't need to ask for answers I already have."

"This is as nice as it gets. You got the spider senses. I gotta stop anything that might get me first."

"Ben does. Ben's cloning process...let's say it 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬. Mine, not so much."

"Who am I killing?"

"Sounds familiar. I don't like it. Go look at New York for a while and turn your phone off. I've got to put down some work Norman's apparently been doing."

"And then maybe throw Norman off of Oscorp tower, because who knows? Maybe the world would be a better place if he was a splatter on the sidewalk."

"He gets by on Peter's mercy. Mercy's a luxury even Norman Osborne can't afford anymore."

"Of course he's done something to her. He's Norman Osborne, the biggest asshole to ever put on a suit. That's not helping her case here, Pete. How, 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺, does she remind you of me? There shouldn't even 𝘣𝘦 a me to begin with."

"Short term, maybe. Weather that and you'll be golden. Hell, I'll even take the fall. This is...bad. What happened to Jackal's crap? Where'd it end up? Not the equipment, his notes. And where's the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 MJ?"

"He deserves one thing. A claw in the side of his head, and a short funeral."

"It'll come eventually, Pete. One day. This is a headache I didn't need. Why the hell do they keep coming from their universe to ours? What are we, the first point everybody jumps to? We need to find out what the hell Mayor Osborne is up to. He doesn't do this by accident."

"Otto's the only other pragmatic spider, apparently. What the hell."

Kaine won't make it easy. "Great. Of course they did. That's what the hell this is - a retreat for universes that just disappear because of cosmic crap. Help her all you want, Pete, but if Norman's involved, bet on having to kick his ass to do it properly."

"The only thing he's ever been a victim of is his own ego."
