WHO: Miles Morales and Tony Stark (MCU)
WHAT Discussing...things?
WHEN: Saturday Afternoon
WHERE: Outside Pancho's

Miles was settling in okay, getting used to the idea of being stuck here after only a few days of panic attacks. He was lucky to be staying with Peter, though. The older Spider-Man had talked him down a few times as Miles would wake up in cold-sweats or try again to wake himself from this "dream" by pinching himself until he was nearly bruised.

But now, it wasn't so bad. He was keeping himself busy by exploring the town, practicing a few spider-moves here and there, hanging out with Peter, and trying to get to know the people around the town. Even if Miles stuck to Peter most of the time. And Carol. She was intimidating, but she was cool and didn't mind him hanging around Pancho's to talk to Peter while he watched them work.

Which was sort of why Miles wanted to make this special for both of them. It was kinda like payback for everything they were doing to help him out. And it gave Miles something else to keep his mind on rather than worry about what his mom and dad were thinking while he was away.

He sat on a folding chair outside (borrowed from the bar), and he was staring at a blank piece of paper on his drawing pad, pen tapping the side of it to the rhythm of the music he was listening to in his headphones. Thank god he'd remembered his MP3 player that day, or he'd be sunk without music while he was here. The poor kid was so oblivious, he wasn't even very tuned into his spidy-sense at the moment.

A little cactus was probably a good idea. And Miles was nodding "I think space cacti might be better for sure." Miles sighed and just started drawing, outlining what would be the building and the wall. After a second, he looked up again and just sort of stared at it.

"Huh....what if I just got their outlines on the building? Like not really them...but then again, it should probably go with a theme." He always got stuck at this part, and his attention turned back to Tony.

"So was there another me in your universe? I mean, there was a Peter right? Not that you'd know. I feel like I might be the only Spider-me out there. " And for some reason, maybe he was a little jealous at the idea? Of course, hew as also too insecure to want to let on.

Who didn't like space cacti? It just had a ring of adorableness to it that even Tony could get behind. Mind, it was Miles' project and he just had to assume that no matter what the kid came up with, it'd be just fine. Sure, the blank paper wasn't very helpful in showing actual skill, but Tony was pretty big on letting kids do their own thing.

Anyway, it seemed like Miles was just spitballing ideas out into the world and it didn't much matter if Tony was there for that, or no one at all. He'd figure it out.

He did pause for a moment over the question, though. "There was another Peter," Tony agreed, and it wasn't like he was missing what Miles was really asking. Or maybe not asking. "If there was another version of you, I never met him. It could be an age difference thing, maybe you weren't born yet, or bitten yet, or whatever else. Timelines are strange, and I think we all know that by now." He tucked his hands into his pockets and lifted his shoulders a little in a shrug. "Maybe you're just someone I get the pleasure of meeting in the future."

Miles grinned at the notion, watching Tony for a second then shaking his head and laughing. "Man, other me is gonna be pretty lucky if he gets to meet you guys." He meant it. Tony was cool. Then again, they were all pretty cool.

"Hey, you think you could introduce me to Captain America? Or maybe Thor? It'd be really cool to meet a Thor." Miles was nervous to approach them himself. Hero complex and all that. And he still didn't feel quite worthy enough, even if he was starting to get used to the idea of himself as Spider-Man.

"I mean, I know I know you guys....but it feels weird just to go up and tell them who I am and that I've been hero-worshipping them since I was a kid."

"Maybe," Tony agreed, although he clearly wasn't convinced. He didn't feel cool, he felt more like meeting up with the Avengers was something of a death wish for superheroes. He'd already gone and gotten Peter into a mess he hadn't been able to get out of (even if he was here, alive. Whole.), Miles didn't deserve the same treatment.

Miles' next question was just so teenaged and hopeful that it actually ripped Tony away from the road of dark thoughts that he'd been about to walk on. "You want me to introduce you to Thor and Captain America," he said flatly. "What am I, chopped liver? You want me to borrow you a pen so you can get their autographs, too?"

He was teasing, of course. He'd introduce the kid. And he'd make it as awkward for everyone as possible while doing so.

"Definitely. Well, except for the whole being stuck here thing." Away from his friends. His parents. He was worried about his parents, actually, but he tried to put it in the back of his mind. He'd be home soon, and it would be cool. Right?

"No, I didn't mean it like that! I mean, you're amazing! It was so cool meeting you- is so cool meeting you!" But Iron Man wasn't his favorite and Miles cleared his throat. "I just...uh..."

Actually, their autographs would be awesome, but he didn't outright say it. He just made a bit of a face then looked back at his drawing pad. "I just meant if you had the time or happened to see them. Or something."

Yeah. That was a concern, being stuck here. Maybe less for Tony than other people, because -- well. It was easy not to really want to face the truth of defeat. But Miles was young and probably had a lot going for him. Parents who he missed and probably hadn't been without, before. Tony.... wasn't not sure how to handle that, or even if he should at all.

"Kidding," Tony soothed, holding his hands up in the universal signaling for relax relax. "If course I'll introduce you."

Miles' fear turned into excitement and his eyes grew a little bit wider as he smiled."Awesome!! Thank you! Seriously." And then he realized how pathetic he probably sounded. Clearing his throat, Miles just nodded. "I mean it, Mr.Stark.This is great." He smiled.

Seriously, Tony probably only had the slightest idea what this meant to the young Spider-man, but he was just going to act cool. The other spider-people always acted cool, right? Yeah, he could do it!

Maybe. Not really.

What was it about all the little spiders and their need to call him Mr. Stark? Tony couldn't help the wild face journey he probably went on over Miles' earnest tone and overly polite words. It was just -- it was a thing. A thing that got him slightly choked up, frankly.

"Sure," he said, a little rough around the edges. "I'll just -- ah. I'll let them know. Next time I see them. Hey. Good luck on your art, it's gonna be great."
