You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

After narrowly escaping Mutant Control through the awesome power of being too uninteresting to arrest, you met up with your sort-of-friend-sort-of-acquaintance Peter, who appears to have taken a little detour on his way home from school.

“Don’t worry about it.” You respond to his apology, gesturing with your hands as if to brush the close call out of mind. “I handled it. You should watch out for those guys, though.”

“Hah…” He scratches the back of his neck nervously. “…Yeah, I guess so.”

You glance over at the girl beside him, who seems to have no qualms about very visibly appraising your appearance. Judging by the bag and the egregiously teenage punk fashion, she’s gotta be a classmate. It seems you can’t catch Peter without some manner of female company following close behind. You wonder if she knows about him – about his secret, that is.

Beside you, Laura’s breath lengthens subtly, assessing her scent. You don’t think they catch it, which you’re quietly thankful for. You try as hard as possible to resist the urge to do that, for fear that it makes you look like a total weirdo. Even if it does feel completely natural now.

Peter’s companion nudges him a little, smiling with one eyebrow raised.

“This guy is the friend you were telling me about?”

“Uh, yeah. Um… Gwen, meet JJ.”

She runs her teeth over her bottom lip. What is that, surprise or something?

“Okay… you’re homeless, right?” You guess it is rather obvious.

“Gwen…” Peter seems to almost cringe it out.

>>
>[X] “Don’t worry about it. Yeah, I’m a hobo.”

“Don’t worry about it.” You could almost roll your eyes. “Yeah, I’m a hobo.”

It seems she wasn’t expecting such a straight answer. Her brow pops up a little and her smile turns a little sheepish.

“Right. Okay, well… sorry, I just wasn’t sure.” She glances at Peter. “Not really what I was expecting when this guy said he wanted to meet a friend on the way home.”

“I’m sure.” You are sure. Peter seems like the straight A’s kind of kid. You wonder what his parents would think if they knew he was chumming around with some homeless mutant guy. You wonder if they even know he’s a mutant.

“Anyway…” She stares pointedly to your side. It takes you a second to figure out that she’s indicating toward Laura, who stands beside you in characteristic silence.

“Oh, yeah… this is Laura.”

You give her a moment to introduce herself, but it just extends the silence. Guess you should’ve expected that.

Wait. You look Gwen up and down. No, no resemblance there. But…

“On the way home? Are you guys siblings?”

Gwen shakes her head. “Nah, I just live with him.”

You angle your gaze toward Peter, who shakes his head frantically.

“Hah, well, whatever.” You glance back over your shoulder, still a little worried about those Mutant Control guys. Nowhere in sight. “I kind of need to talk to you about something important.”

Peter straights up and steadies his backpack.

“Oh, yeah, sure. Can we walk and talk? I promised my aunt I’d be home before seven.”

In a roundabout way, that is an eventually part of this discussion.

Though if she accuses usor Peter of drug usage, laugh, JJ wishes his problems were so contained to one problem like that.

>[X] “Actually…”

“Actually, this is kind of something sort of sensitive…” You glance over at Gwen.

While you’re sure she’s an okay gal, she’s also a normal person, as far as you can tell, and mutant abduction rings are well outside of most normal folks’ comfort zones. And she lives with Peter, too… she could totally go tell his folks about all this if she got significantly weirded out.

She flicks her gaze between you and Peter, who has sort of frozen in thought.

“Seriously?” She rolls her eyes. “Not exactly doing a good job of convincing me that this isn’t shady as hell, dude.”

“It’s not, Gwen.” Says Peter, doing a relatively good job of looking innocent. “It’s not drugs or anything, okay?”

Man, why do drugs always have to come up? Do you really look like that much of a junkie? You don’t think you look like a junkie at all. Just a filthy slobmonster.

“Yes.” Gwen’s voice takes on a sardonic tone. “Bringing up drugs will ease my concerns.”

Peter grimaces, a long sigh whistling through his teeth.

Not much. She'd find them a little unsettling maybe, but she's far more inclined to think of them as 'dragon wings' or 'dinosaur wings' than 'demon wings'.

She's not THAT much of a fundie. Her brain is not constantly on the Bible. Or, in this case, on extrabiblical common lore.

Not to mention it looks like to us that he's double timing.

Only if you operate under the assumption that every girl a guy meets or hangs out with is interested in getting on his dick.

Which is pretty much true in Peter's case, but still.

>>30126321
That is a good follow up to our comment about the mutant control.

we don't have to bring up his mutantness, just warn him the crazy killer Kimura might start sniffing around the bugle looking for leads cuz of the interviewand that's she a dangerous psycho bitch who enjoys killing and hurting people.

>[X] “It’s a mutant thing, okay? You don’t UNDERSTAND our struggle. X Gon’ Give it to Ya!”

Eurgh, fuck this. Again, probably an okay girl, but you’re working in a timeframe here.

“It’s a mutant thing, okay?” You cut in, lowering your shades. “You saw those guys back there give me trouble, right?”

She stares into your undecided swirls of blue & green, taken aback a little. Eventually, she clears her throat.

“Uh… yeah, I guess. Sorry. I’ll just…” She fidgets with her bag for a second, her entire demeanour set subtly off balance, and starts making her way toward the main street in small, apologetic steps. “…I’ll just wait a bit ahead…”

You watch her go in silence, before turning to Peter. He fixes you with a bemused smile.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen her thrown off quite like that.”

“Mutie card, man.” You joke. “Potent when delivered precisely.”

He chuckles quietly.

He can tell that Ben guy on the off chance we don't come back
>>
>>30126605
Peter is a bro, he's still friends with us after we broke his gf's bones. We need him to stay safe and clear of Kimura and may want his help with our new target on the horizon.

When/if we learn he is Spider-man, shit will be hi-fucking-larious

He could call the police on it.

>[X] Tell him everything.

“So. What was all that about?”

“Well…”

You’re not sure what to say. Really. How much of this is yours to tell, and how much of it is Laura’s? How much is safe for him to know? How much is even remotely believable? Peter may be a mutant, but he lives in a rather different, brighter universe. There are no imperceptible Creepers in Peter’s universe, no clandestine military evils, no shadows looming on all sides. Sometimes you can barely believe half the shit you run into, and you’re there to see it.

You take a deep breath, and pretty much all of it comes tumbling out. The Facility. Kimura. The abductions, Laura’s implied history of wetworks and human slavery, the preacher whose head that terrifying woman nearly snapped off. You leave out Laura’s part in anything, but aside from that, you censor nothing.

“…So, understandably, you need to stay the hell away from these people.”

Peter stares at you. For a moment he just seems to turn over your wild claims in his head, and you can’t help but entertain the idea that he’s trying to match them with your appearance, trying to find something that would make it all a bit more believable. Eventually, he breaks his silence.
>>
>(2/2)

“…Shouldn’t the police know about this? Or the government?”

You’re a little taken aback at how straight he takes it. Every word out of his mouth suddenly seems very precisely chosen.

Finally, Laura speaks up.

“The Facility has provided many services to this government.” Her voice is quiet and small.

“But…” Peter stutters a little, a quiet indignation entering his voice. “People can’t just do that. I mean, you can’t just… get away with that sort of thing…”

You bite your lip. This feels a little like telling a kid that Santa Claus isn’t real, and that actually that guy at the mall is just some tramp.

“Of course you can, Pete.” You sigh. “Your life seems pretty great, and that's cool, but most of us spend all our time running from people who get away with this kind of shit for a living.”

He looks at the ground. Is that anger? Or something else?

You kind of want this to end on a happy note. Or, at least, a less depressing note than that of spoiled innocence.

“Didn’t mean for this to be a downer, man.” Though, you can’t imagine any real way that it couldn’t have been. “It’s not like these guys are gonna be coming for you. You’re way too normal. I just wanted to make sure you’d be careful around them. If you ever see ‘em again.”

Peter looks up, offering a somewhat morose smile.

“Yeah, sure.”

The three of you make your way onto the main street. You follow Peter a little while before running into Gwen leaning outside a 7/11, nursing a bottle of coke. She brightens up as you approach, and you quickly move on, meandering over the road, away from the shops and the cafes and everything in between.

You ask Peter how his girlfriend’s doing, and he laughs, asking if you’re gonna say that every time the two of you meet. You reply that you did sorta break her ankle.

“She’s okay.” He reveals. “A little annoyed at missing so much work, but she’ll get over it.”

She has a job?

The streets steadily open out into a residential stretch of short, squat houses.

“Chat has a job?” You narrow your eyes down at him. “Isn’t she the same age as you guys?”

“Oh, uh, yeah. It’s part-time.” He smiles sort of distantly. “It’s pretty great, though. She kinda works at a detective agency. The animals thing is… useful, I guess. Not that it’s just that. I mean, she’s super cool and smart and…”

He brings up so many ways in which is beautiful mutant girlfriend is awesome that they start to blur together at some point.

His smile undulates somewhere short of a grin, and somewhere nameless and strange. You don’t recognize it, exactly – not personally – but a bitter, small part of you realizes that it must be some manner of love. Which is why you don’t know it all too well, you guess.

You catch Gwen turn her eyes up a little.

“So.” You cut in, not sure that you or Gwen can take too much more of Chat’s praises. You nod at the blonde girl. “What’s the deal with you two? Why’re you living together?”

Peter glances over at his friend a little protectively. She just shrugs.

“Ah…” Her voice trails off into an awkward chuckle. “Well, my mom sort of abandoned me, and Spider-Man killed my dad, so…”

Peter flinches.

“…I guess I’m an orphan.” You can see the strain behind her grin. “Anyway, Pete’s aunt decided to take me in, which is probably the coolest thing anyone’s ever done for me…”

“Spider-Man? Seriously?”

That doesn’t sound like Spider-Man. That sounds like ‘Spider-Man According to JJJ’, which is most certainly not the guy you ran into at Mister Negative’s sweet occult penthouse.

“Yeah.” She states, but almost immediately seems to loosen up a little, sighing deeply. “Well… the cops say it was a guy in Spider-Man suit, but it’s just… it’s sort of hard to believe… He had powers and everything…”

Man, that’s a bummer.

“Sorry to hear it. I lost my parents too.” You lick your lips and banish the thoughts of fire they invoke in your brain. “…A long time ago.”

“Huh.” She smiles a little bitterly, forcing out a laugh. “Where are we, Dead Parents Anonymous?” She jostles Peter a little, who takes it in his stride. “I guess we’re all orphans together.”

You glance down at Laura, who has remained utterly silent until now. Eventually, she notices your attention, and nods.

“Yes. My mother is also deceased.”

Huh. That wasn’t actually what you were wondering. You just thought she might not be entirely comfortable with the parent talk.

“Oh my God…” Gwen nurses her forehead in her palm, still grinning lopsidedly.

As you head up the street, you realize that you’re a pretty clearly homeless dude walking home with three kids. Maybe not a great impression to make on the Parkers’ neighbours.

“Hey, Pete…” You lower your voice, already starting to feel a nervous twinge in your bones. “It’s okay for me to be here, right? I mean, to be seen with you guys?”

“Oh…” He raises one eyebrow in thought. “…I guess? Aunt May won’t mind. I don’t think so, anyway.”

>[X] Ask about the detective agency.

A little relieved that the conversation has steered itself away from dead parents, you decide not to go and steer it all the way back. Instead, you can’t help but be rather interested by what Peter let slip about his girlfriend – his fifteen-year-old mutant girlfriend – working at a detective agency. Somehow, you can only imagine some kind of grossly over-funded high school newspaper club.

“So, uh… out of interest…” Yes, interest in money. “…what kind of detective agency hires kids?”

“Oh.” Peter laughs a little. “Yeah, it’s a pretty weird thing they’ve got going there. It’s called the Blonde Phantom Detective Agency. They’re kind of small, but cool. I think they’ve got some other guys with powers working for them… uhhh…”

He squints, as if trying to stare down an elusive, far-off memory.

“…Ricochet? Tripfire? Or something?”

You have never, ever, ever heard of a superhero called Tripfire. Ever. Come to think of it, you’ve never heard of Ricochet either.

“Speaking of superpowers…” Gwen cuts in with a small measure of trepidation to her voice, as if testing unfamiliar waters. She’s got a big, eager look on her face. Oh, you know where this is going… “You have powers, right? Like, mutant powers? What can you do?”

>[X] Tell some

It was always going to come to this, you suppose.

You scratch your head, suddenly a little nervous. What powers do you have, anyhow? You’re starting to lose count of this shit. You’re strong, you’re sneaky, you can tazer peeps with your hands… you’re becoming quite the mishmash of abnormal crap. You’ve heard Laura’s thoughts on the matter, and you’ve entertained the idea that you’re stealing this stuff, but you can’t help but wonder if maybe something’s wrong with you.

Maybe you’re broken.

“Well…” You squirm a little and feel yourself grimace awkwardly. “I’m not entirely sure, actually. I can do a few things. I’m pretty strong…”

You glance over at Gwen out the corner of your eye. She looks absolutely ecstatic. Guh.

“…I can hear really far… and I guess I can turn invisible?”

“Seriously?” She grins like a hyena. “Holy shit, for real? That’s the best! Do it, man!”

You feel yourself curl a little inwards at the overabundance of attention, disguising it by bringing your hand up and coughing.

“…We’re kind of in public here, so…”

“Ah, yeah. Lame.”

“Maybe some other time.”

Eventually, you realize that the Gwen & Peter are veering into the street, toward a small, two-floor house with a little porch. Surrounded by the glow of one of the windows, you notice a woman in her forties, maybe early fifties, taking interest in your little group.

Guess they’re home.

>[X] See if you can get some details on this ‘Blonde Phantom Detective Agency’.

Your agitation only increases as you approach the porch with them, every footfall feeling distinctly out of place. This isn’t a homeless person place. This is real person world. It’s not a gated community, but it’s not a snowed-in alley or a shattered apartment or an old, abandoned subway platform, and anything too far removed from your universe of dilapidation and cold feels wrong.

Good, sometimes inviting, but wrong.

“Hey…” You slow to a stop on the grass leading up to the porch, Gwen and Peter turning to face you. “I should probably get going an’ stuff…”

Yeah, you have lots of hobo things to do. And it is getting a little dark.

“Uh, do you think you could get me some info on that Blonde Phantom thing?” You blurt it out suddenly, surprising yourself a little. You were about to all but bolt across the lawn and out into the familiar chill of the city proper. “You know… just in case. I could do with some work.”

Peter looks surprised for a moment, but smiles.

“Yeah. Yeah, I could.” He pauses. “I… don’t really have anything on me, but I could ask Chat. Maybe she could drop in a good word on you.”

Haha, yes, she will certainly do that for the guy who broke her ankle.

“Thanks, Pete. Night, guys.”

“See you.”

Gwen waves, and you watch them head up onto the porch, turning away as the door opens and warm, homey light spills out across the gathering dark. You make your way off the lawn, vaguely aware of Laura’s stare cutting intently into the side of your face. You must have an... interesting… expression on.

Behind you, you hear a stern, middle-aged voice.

“You’re not inviting your friends in, Peter?”

It's Aunt May, do you think she'll care?
>>
>>30130587
But we may well obviously be homeless.

Even with our spread of powers, we spent a few formative years rather malnourished, are we slight for an 18 year old guy of our height? I forget.
>>
>>30130692
Healing powers are fucking awesome.

Also super strength. We will grow tall and even stronger if we eat healthy.

And have a home....if Aunt May helps us out.

malnourished people are often skinny, so that would be a safe assumption.
>>
>>30130737
She is not going to want 15+ homeless people living in her house. no matter how generous someone is. that's borderline idiocy.

We are certainly not ditching the gang just to live in luxury either, even if she does offer.
>>
>>30130325
>Stop
>Hammer Time
>>
>>30130768
Yeah.

We need money and a home.

Or at least a mutant that can make a home for us. Somewhere That the cold and the heat will not get to us, fresh cold and hot water, electricity and then finally internet.

If we can get all those things, we muggas aren't homeless anymore.
>>
>>30130768
We could bring in additional income and valuable companionship.

But that would make us very visible and her a target for Creeper, so let's not.
>>
>>30130768
Though if the offer comes we could drop off Lalya
>>
>>30130825
Yeah.

First take out Creeper and his crew.

Then live the mugga crime free(ish) life.
>>
>[X] Stop.

Every scrap of what you know tells you to keep going. You know that, when she gets a good look at you, that’ll be it. Everything will be off the table, and you won’t be coming in, no way, and what’s more, it will be super weird for everyone involved. Everyone – you, Gwen, Peter, his aunt. Even Laura might catch on, that’s how weird it will be. Everyone. And Lord help you if she figures out you’re a mutant – that Peter has been hanging out with a homeless mutant.

No.

No no no.

You stop. Against the urging of your own bones, you slowly turn around.

Pete glances over at you from up on the porch. A thin shadow against the light of the indoors, his expression is invisible, unreadable. You bet it’s not a good one, though.

“Hey, JJ!” There is an awkward pause. “You guys want to come in or something?”

You feel yourself trudging your way up the porch, like a man possessed, aware of yourself only from a great distance, ahold of yourself only tangentially. Laura steps beside you, her warmth almost more real than your own hazy borders, more of an anchor than any one of the thoughts stifling your brain.

You step onto the porch and find yourself standing under that warm light. Peter’s aunt is a thin, terse-looking woman with short, greying hair and piercing eyes. She looks straight at you, then at Laura, and, to her credit, her expression only changes for a second.

Oh God…

“N-no, it’s okay, I should be going.” You avert your eyes slightly. It doesn’t really matter, what with the shades, but you can’t help yourself. “Thanks for the offer.”

You step down from the porch, inwardly chiding yourself. Why’d you walk all the way up there if you were just gonna say no? What the fuck is wrong with you? That was a real house, with plumbing and hot food an’ stuff. Godfuckingdammit.

“I wouldn’t mind.” Calls that succinct, sharp voice.

You turn about and just sort of nod lamely.

“Uh, no, i-it’s okay, I just… I have to meet some people, thank you very much though…” You feel your voice trail off hoarsely.

You walk. You hear her say something, something, you’ll stop to comprehend it in a moment, you keep going, going, going, night lengthening, way opening…

You sicken yourself sometimes.

Normally exactly that would happen, but your level of fucked up is about 120% higher than what Aunt May is used to dealing with.

Still I feel kind of a dick we said no, but he's a crack bitch and well it feels wrong to encroch on Peter's life anymore then nesscary
>>
If we'd stayed, we would have turn into a hideous mess of spaghetti and tears. It's better we disappeared into the night.
>>
>>30131499
Poor JJ. Once we deal with Creeper (and if we survive), I'd say a nice homemade dinner would be worth some spaghetti. Maybe a good cry in the middle of dinner.
>>
>>30131503
Will.

Will to survive. To Live.

And somewhere on that path on survival, JJ found the sense on what wrong and what right.

Now he not on the path of survival. He is on the path to his IDEAL.

To where this path might go, who knows but the moment that JJ fought off a Demon to save orphan children, He will become a superhero.
>>
>>30131499
What would we have gotten for dinner if we had gone inside?
>>
>>30131503
I like to think that the only thing holding him together is the fact that he devotes his time to helping others so that he can't really dwell on his situation and fall apart.

Crusty, if JJ gets Enhanced Muscle Memory how long would it take for Laura to turn him into a competent fighter?
>>
>>30131584
Friday is leftover night. So, it could have been a bunch of things.
>>
>>30131584
Maybe, but would the gang back home have had dinner if we don't bring it to them on the way back?
>>
>>30131503
Some say he's more spaghetti than man.
>>
>>30131382
Hey Crusty, how far into JJ's story did you adapt the strength character to his sister? Or was she always going to be related in a similar way, even if we played as her?
>>
>>30131382
What's the Blob up to?
>>
>>30131607
Not long at all. If JJ devoted a good portion of his days to it, he could be as good as her (i.e. really really good) in a matter of weeks. Technically, anyway, he still wouldn't have her experience.

You didn't. As the post says, you omitted Laura's part in any of it. You just stated what you'd heard from her without implicating her in it.
