What is going on? Exactly?

Like, what's this about magic being real? And who is this Doctor Strange?

And is that really his name? Strange? The guy responsible for everything? You can see where that's about as weird as everything else.

Hi, kid! I was about to do that whole Facetime thing to see if you were still being the friendly neighborhood watch-spider and not flunking out of school, but I guess you got hit with this mess too.

Short Version: I'd like it if you could just worry about school, but here we are. Where time got broken by a guy named Strange that really can use magic. It isn't as crazy as you think it is in the grand scheme of things, considering I flew a nuke right up some aliens collective aaaaaasssss-uhh-embled army of things from outer space. Boom. That's just as weird, right? Sure it is.

Hey, how's your aunt?

	If by that you mean you were going to have Happy creepily drop by my school again, alright. How can time be broken? That's not possible. If past, present, and future no longer mean anything how are we in anything but a constant state of flux? I have no plans to be in high school forever. .... Great. How's Pepper?

Maybe. I could send Happy again but he gets creeped out kids in general. Or grumpy. Or whatever it is that makes Happy...unhappy.

Ooops. Good point. Figure of speech wasn't very sciencey. Not broke-broke, it's bent at odd angles with some wormhole tears to keep things unstable. So congrats on being part of our own multi-verse that's split off from a main-verse? I mean, we're lucky we weren't caught in a temporal causality loop. The calender's still moving forward day by day. You still get to graduate and go to college. We still have autonomous control of our lives, so we can make the same potentially GREAT decisions that we made before, only there's another you and another me probably making their own GREAT decisions in a timeline running alongside ours.

Great! Tell your aunt I said hi. Pepper's good too. She's doing CEO Pepper things and telling me to shut up about tacos. The usual.

Hey, have you put any thought into patenting that webbing compound yet?

Maybe Happy would be more happy if everyone stopped calling him Happy. Of course that's also less fun.

Oh. Well. Great. Now I get to wonder if the other me is making the decisions I should be making so that instead of just comparing myself to everyone else I now have a potential doppelganger out there to worry about as well.

Probably not going to happen, and whats wrong with tacos?

About as much thought as standing up before the whole wide world and unmasking myself. Speaking of which and going back to May... she caught me. In costume.

She was pissed.

Believe me when I say not mentioning you to her is best for your health right now. Probably mine too.

That is less fun. I'm fine with keeping Happy unhappier.

Yeah, it's great. Coming from someone who knows what it's like to nosedive into worrying about everything? Don't. You do you, and don't worry what other-you is off doing. You made a good decision to do your own thing here, and this-me respects you for it.

Also, let's be just you and just me. For brevity's sake.

Now on to other matters of import: Tacos. I don't know what's wrong with them. The ladies don't want to hear about tacos when there's other stuff going on. I can't think on an empty stomach. But if you're ever near the outskirts of Hell's Kitchen? Stay away from that baby blue taco truck.

Oh boy. How'd that happen? I was going to suggest a cover story of you creating it in R&D while in the Stark Internship Program, if anyone asked any questions. Now I bet you'll be grounded until you're 18. That sucks.

More I get to know the guy the more I see where his name comes from. Wait. You don't have nicknames for me do you?

Yeah but what if my other self did take the tricked out metallic suit and the world knows I'm Spider-Man and I'm super famous and have all the girls and the money because I did patent my web fluid and.. well. I guess I'd be you then. Scary.

Us works.

Walked in behind me as I took off my mask. I know. Rookie mistake. The good news is that I'm alive.

Besides Underoos? I don't think so. Do you want more nicknames? Like "Hey, that's not your problem if other-you did that and ended up like both-me's." Because I still want you to be better than me and, like I told you, you don't need a suit to do that.

Now you made me derail off the us. Your fault.

Also your fault with the rookie mistake. I don't think it's that bad though, because codename Aunt Hottie isn't going to leak it to the rest of the world.

Problem is if you do ever manage to go out on patrol again, she is going to worry about you a lot more than ever before.

So maybe lay low and just do the whole school thing for a while.

Come to think of it, Flash has me covered as far as horrible nicknames that I hate. And thanks. I think.

I know, I know, I know. I was just so excited when I saw the suit and then I completely failed. Door wide open fail.

Yeah.. I don't know if I can do that to her.

You know I was actually thinking that with all the superheros suddenly being in and apparently stuck here in the city that maybe that's not such a bad idea...

Flash is a crap nickname. If that's his real name, I bet he's a douche.

You're welcome. You mess up, you learn. Fix it and try to be better. I do the same things. But yeah, best thing is probably school and enjoy life as much as you can.

I know I'm not the best person to give advice or anything, but I also know Pepper worries all of the time when I'm doing anything dangerous. Not hard to imagine why your aunt flipped out. Her new nickname is going to be Mayday because you are so busted.

If you want a text with a code phrase if the planet is so messed up that we do need help, I can do that too. Because I also don't want you worrying that no one thinks you're good enough to help. When you are, and you have.

Not my choice. It's yours. You think it over and decide what you want.

Not his nickname but nailed the second part.

I mean I want to be Spider-Man and maybe an Avenger when I'm ready and it's no longer a test. But with so many superheroes around now and May knowing and my AP Calculus exam coming up I'm not so sure. Well. The test is a stretch but the rest not so much.

This isn't like I have a number for Happy again and he never responds for months, is it? Because it sounds like a good idea. Not sure I am quite ready to hang up the webs yet but if there was an actual mission or need it would be good to know.

Also.. Mayday is probably the one nickname I will agree with.

Yay! I won at something today. Including more nicknames.

Got it. Someday, when you're ready and uhh, sure, no tests. Except for nailing that exam, because it's only advanced calculus. C'mon. You can do that, easy.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Happy hates the noise his phone makes when he gets ANY text messages. That's why I give you permission to keep doing it if you want to. You can tell him I said that when he responds in a few months.

As for me? I am a textual artist. You can't be blowing up my phone every day, but I do have a network phone and yes, I text on it. I think we might hit lvl 99 'Really Bad Things' at some point, so it might not be a bad idea to have all hands on deck.

I'll send you a quick 💩 to let you know something's hit the fan, then give you details if you decide to text back. How's that sound?

	Well I mean sometimes it's hard. Well. To stay awake at least. No kidding? That explains a lot. At least now I know it's not just me. It really isn't just me, is it? Sounds like a plan. ~~If I can get around May that is~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hi, my name's Tony Stark, and I'm here today to talk to you about the wonders of coffee. Inventor's friend. College student's lifeblood. At your age, I don't think it's going to hurt to have one cup as a pick-me-up.

Speaking of age, I don't think it's just you. I think Happy's allergic to trouble, and anything under 35 years old. He thinks 35 is the perfect age, because people are supposed to have matured or whatever. I don't know. He starts talking about it and I start zoning out.

Looks like we have a deal, Mr. Parker.
