Hotel →TWD: Gwen, Flash, Harry, Peter (+ MJ)
[The door hadn't moved while she was standing there, waiting.

She was at the first door, first floor, and the hotel lobby was just there, within her line of vision. She was dressed practically in purple rainboots, jeans and a seafoam hoodie. She had a pack with her that included all the supplies Ms. Carter, Mr. Rogers and Doctor Banner had provided, both medical and nutritional. Her dad's old service revolver was at her hip, his old belt notched to accommodate her much smaller frame. She leaned against the crumbling wallpaper beside the door, and she willed the door not to move before the others arrived. If the door did jump, it would take hours for it to show up somewhere again, and she'd need to restart the process of combing the hallways in search of the physical markers that indicated the right door.

She was nervous, and she twisted a mauve beanie between her fingers while she tried to talk herself out of the sensation, as if some logic could somehow turn off the survival instinct in her brain. She was nervous about seeing this Peter for the first time, too, and she was nervous about Harry's deteriorating condition. She'd tried to factor the likelihood of Harry's accompanying them, but she gave up about an hour in; it all depended on the strength of his feelings for Mary Jane, and that was something she'd never felt comfortable asking. Flash was literally the only thing she wasn't worried about.

On the bright side, at least she wouldn't melt the hallway while she waited. Movement in the lobby caught her attention, and she pushed herself away from the wall and called out.] Over here!

spidey kids: hotel/twd

[Flash looked like he was heading into battle. He carried two black cases filled with guns in his hands, a backpack over his shoulder and a shotgun slung at his side. He was wearing 'work jeans' with boots, a t-shirt, hoodie and a knitted grey cap. He was trying not to look excited. Killing zombies was going to be fun even if hanging out with this group of people might result in some after school special heart-to-hearts he could probably live without. Oh and MJ might die that would suck balls.]

Yoooo. [Flash waved and walked over to Gwen, set his shit down and then gave her a bear hug whether she wanted one or not.] Nice gun, dude. [He noticed the revolver right away. It looked like something out of those Sin City movies and that was pretty dang cool. His shotgun was more country boy get off my lawn.]

[Peter was more nervous about seeing Gwen than he was the zombies and, you know, potential death. Maybe his priorities were skewed but he couldn't help it; this really, really wasn't how he'd wanted it to happen. Harry would be there, too, and Flash, and MJ when they found her, so basically he'd be seeing everyone for the first time under some pretty awkward circumstances. But, whatever. He'd deal. He just had to stay calm, keep focused, and try hard not to make things any weirder than they were already going to be.

Right. No problem.

He was weaponless, figuring Flash had that covered, and the backpack slung over his shoulder only had basic supplies. Yeah, okay, he wasn't thrilled about using a gun even if it wasn't practical, but he didn't realize his powers would be rendered useless in the door. Sneakers, jeans, and a hoodie made him look like a regular college kid, and his approach came on the tail end of Flash and Gwen's hug.

Do. Not. Make. It. Weird. That was his silent mantra, and he smiled in a way that he hoped was totally cool and not at all awkward. And he didn't even stare-- well, okay, he didn't stare much. He was trying, but the last time he'd seen Gwen alive she was falling, falling, and afterward she'd been motionless in his arms. Dead. It didn't matter that this Gwen might not be his, all that mattered was that she was here. She was alive. He kind of forgot Flash was there for a second or two, and his expression lit up in an embarrassingly telling way before he realized it and immediately tried to pretend like nothing had happened.] Hey. [He raised his hand in a sort of half wave. Super smooth.]
