Re: Ned & Peter
"I mean, you're a superhero to me." Peter grinned and nudged Ned in the side lightly, but he grew more focused as their conversation went on. "I wonder if they'd freak out if you told them Spider-man consults you for his tech issues?" He guessed that would depend on what they thought of Spider-man in the first place - a lot of people in the city were supportive, but others saw him as the menace JJ Jameson always claimed he was.
"That could help explain the Tony connection. Or - you're smart, dude. Even if we hadn't gotten involved in this whole side of things, you'd be on the radar of someone like him." But no matter how Ned's parents took it, it was still all a lot to take in. They were starting to grow up, and the changes felt like they were all happening fast. "Adulting is kind of scary, isn't it? I'm really glad I'll be doing it with you."
