Who: Miles Morales, Gwen Stacey, and Sirius Black
What: An adventure in space
When: Thursday afternoon
Where: Through the doors
Rating: Mild to moderate (violence/action)

Miles had arrived, eager, excited, and maybe a little bit nervous about going through the doors (especially after what both Peters had said). And maybe a little about seeing Gwen. Or the Gwen from here, at least. He'd dawned his suit under his shorts and hoodie, and he waited. Backpack over his shoulders, just in case, Miles was looking eagerly as he held the straps with both hands and watched for them.

He had no idea who Sirius was or if they could trust them, but he also knew he had to start meeting people around here if he ever wanted to get out. Or just get away from the over-protective Peter for a while. Not that that Miles didn't like living with Peter- it had been kinda cool, actually. But the guy was protective and..maybe remindedMiles a little of his dad. Not in a bad way, but Miles was starting to admit to himself just how much he was missing home a little more every day.

Sighing, he watched for anyone, grinning finally as someone approached, wondering how to introduce himself. Er, again.

Gwen was also pretty sure that alien's name wasn't Bob but it sounded like he'd said 'Bob' at some point so she was just going with it. That was sort of going to be a theme, she thought; going with it. They were in a completely alien place, literally, so going with the flow was probably for the best rather than getting strung out on any weirdness. The whole thing was going to be weird, and Gwen could handle weird. She'd seen enough of it to last her a lifetime already. Besides, this was really cool and they might get a flying car out of it.

She knew Sirius was a wizard, which was super cool, but she didn't know a lot about it and that was something she was definitely curious about. She was supposed to be giving him drum lessons and thought she might ask him questions about it whenever that happened, but since they were now in a world behind the Doors together she was going to get to hopefully see some of what he could do. The wand was cool. It was crazy to think that actual magic could come out of a stick like that.

"You can translate the whomps? That'll come in handy trying to talk the car salesman's ear off while one of us gets the car and sneaks off with it." Gwen didn't condone stealing, but she also didn't have any alien currency. It was kind of like when she and Jan took all that crap from Target. She felt bad about it, but it was kind of like Robin Hood-esque. Maybe a flying car was extravagant and really pushing the line there, but it could be useful. Maybe.

"It's the big red or colorful thing that people put air into and the arms go up and, like-" Miles put his arms above his head and wiggled his body, trying his best to imitate the infamous movements, but was probably just making himself look weird. That was especially obvious when two passing aliens looked at him funny then went on whispering about him as they passed. He frowned and put his arms down. "You know what? Nevermind."

A muggle. Cool. He grinned. "So like, that's a real word you guys use for us?? Why Muggles? Like, I've never heard that term before." He scrunched his nose at the idea and then glanced back towards Gwen. He was definitely going to ask about muggles later. and probably magic.

"Wait- you can use magic to translate, too??" Was there anything magic couldn't do?? Miles wanted to know. Seriously. This was getting better and better. "Is there like, a spell that can make us speak their language? What is it??" He hadn't quite noticed Sirius sneaking candies, too excited by everything else to catch on, though normally it might be more obvious.

"We're stealing a car?" he seemed to catch on late and looked at Gwen, then back at Sirius, then back at Gwen. "Wait- why are we stealing a car, again?"

"I will absolutely translate the whomps," Sirius said, even as he squinted at Miles who was doing a very good rendition of the Whomping Willow, but was probably completely unaware of that. It made for a very confusing scene, Sirius felt.

Anyway, he proved his point that he could in fact translate the whomping by flicking his wand at the three of them. "Transferendum!" And as simple as that, all the background noises that had once been gibberish starting making sense, bartering and conversations that could be understood, bleeding into the moment, a more familiar background noise. "It'll go both ways," he said, lifting his chin a little higher, like he was a bit proud of himself and smug. Which he absolutely was. It was a trait that Sirius had never quite grown out of, and probably never would - his love affair with his own ego.

And then he was turning around to walk backwards in order to properly look at Miles as he spoke -- seemingly unconcerned about the concept of someone else bumping into him, or not really knowing where he was going. "Because we want one," he said, very seriously. "They fly."
