I don't really know, and I don't think I'm interested in all that it's all that important, either.

Just thought it was fun to say. Strip club.

If you want a tour of Queens and Brooklyn, let me know. I'll give you one while we're here. And, if not, no worries.

Cool. Let me know when, and I'll give you a good tour. Lots of food and fun spots, too. And spots with good views.

Food is always great and people 'round the fire keep telling me I should have tried something called a keynish while the city was still up and running? And a chopped cheese, which they say it's not just chopped, cheese.

Are there always this many people in the city?

Knish? Yeah they're awesome! We'll get a few different ones for you to try. And the chopped cheese... I know a place (well, a lot, but you want the best, trust me), but it's in Manhattan, so if when we get this place looking like Manhattan again, I'll take you there.

I think there's usually more. The boroughs are all pretty populated, but Manhattan's the most. I probably don't need to tell you that going up helps, but going up helps.

You guys have got too many different kinds of bread. And way too much food, but for the purposes of this exercise, I won't complain. I thought a knish was just bread? What's the difference and why are there that many kinds that you can get me a few different ones to try? And figures, probably should have asked sooner than now.

More? Fuck. How many Yeah. I'm starting to like rooftops.

A knish is something wrapped in pastry and baked or fried or boiled. It can be potatoes, meat, fruit. You take the filling and wrap it in dough and it's delicious. There's different kinds because people have started filling them with more than just meat or potatoes.

Hopefully the general population of this version's New York boroughs won't increase to match the ones from my home. Though the ostriches are not from home. We do not have those wandering around at all.

Thanks. Try to also. Coney Island is fun. The drones are mostly making sure the dementors aren't around so we can actually enjoy this one.

Sticking to Brooklyn myself.

I see a drone, I'm going to destroy it. And that most likely goes for everyone on my team, so just steer them clear from us.

Fair enough.

Haven't I so far? I've done nothing but try to help. The drones are just a tool for me. Kind of an extension of me. I'd appreciate a little consideration in return.

Your efforts when it came to those weird dudes in robes are appreciated. You sticking drones down my throat every turn tho'? Not. I don't like that they're out there, but I could maybe tune that out? I don't like that they could know where I am, because that just makes me really uncomfortable.

I see a drone, I'm gonna destroy it. That's not a threat. It's instinct.

Doesn't feel like it when you're threatening to break the things that were the reasons I was able to help in the first place. They aren't paying attention to you. You're one person in a city of 8.6 million. I'm not cramming them down your throat. They haven't bothered you a single time.

I've kept them away from you, I've kept my word on them and will continue to. I'm on your side believe it or not. The way you are protective of your people is how I feel about my technology, if that makes any sense to you.

If I wanted to make sure drones stayed away from me, I'd figure out what frequency he's using to control them and then keep a jammer on me. You can pick them up at an electronics store, but if you want to make Tony feel useful, ask him to make you one.

It totally is. You can put one in your room if you want, but I'd be careful with that- It'll mess with cell signals and people will get suspicious. But a small, portable one that just blocks the signal in your immediate area when you don't want to be bothered? Totally does the trick.

Plus, it's just passive-aggressive enough to be frustrating. Normally I am not down with passive-aggression. I prefer aggressive-aggression if I'm going to throw down with someone, but he seems pretty, like... unyielding about his drones and not at all sensitive to your PTSD needs.

Probably. The shielding necessary to keep it safe from a jammer would also block the carrier signal.

Everyone has needs. And it's fine. It's good to have needs. One of yours is that you need those drones to stay the hell away from you. The important thing is to acknowledge it and express your need in a way that the other person understands how important it is to you.

I don't know for sure, but I feel like my guardians might not like that, but I want it. Just in case. That's okay, right? To use technology for is it tho because

I think you're old enough to know your own mind. Your guardians are supposed to make sure you're safe and cared for and if this will make you feel better, then it's something you need to feel that way. If it comes down to it, I'll help you get it.

But they should be. It's like, common courtesy, you know? You've clearly expressed that you don't want drones around you. Their answer should be "Okay, I will do my best to make sure that there aren't any. But if you see one, will you please let me know so I can move it?" Like, that's a way better way to handle that situation. I have the benefit of being removed from the situation, though.

All I know is that you get what you give. If you want people to listen to you, you have to be ready and willing to listen to them.

He's said for than once the drones make him uncomfortable. He doesn't have to give you a reason. He doesn't have to explain his trauma. Maybe just accept that not everyone is all YAY DRONES and just back the hell off.

I would say maybe it’s a reality barrier where people don’t get jokes or people who don’t like being spied on, but I think this S.H.I.E.L.D. person is from out reality, MJ. So maybe it’s an adult thing. Like you reach 21 or 25 and then can’t remember what being a teen is like or what a joke is or that maybe people don’t like being spied on. And then you Just a lack of sleep sleepy thought.

That just makes me trust them less, after everything I've heard about SHIELD.

Joke or not, having these drones flying around without everyone's consent is tr not cool. He claims he's just surveying, but do we know if they're weaponized? Do we know if someone with bad intentions could take them over?

I just... don't like them. And even if James hadn't been joking, his apparent dislike of them should be respected.

One of them told me they spied on me. I don’t know if drones were involved, but I don’t know that I trust them much either way.

Ned and I hacked my suit. Do you know how much crap is in that suit? We hacked it with his laptop. There’s no way those drones couldn’t be hacked with the right equipment if someone wanted.

I agree. We don’t all like things. It should be respected, but we’re kids so not everyone seems to understand that we don’t all like the same things. Drones can be cool, but no one wants to be spied on or have an armed drone strike happen. Not saying Cisco would do that, but weaponized drones are a thing, and people have every right to be wary. Plus it gets into moral gray areas and way too Big Brother at times. It’s just unnerving to think of people watching you even if they aren’t malicious about it.

You missed the part where I said I don't read the network very often, so that means I missed your comments and/or posts about it. I don't know why everyone is being so hostile over a simple question.
