Who: Spidermen (Peter and Miguel)
What: First meeting!
Where: Food Court
When: Lunchtime, May 21

Miguel had spent all of Sunday and all of Monday morning in the lab (except for his daily run with Roxy&co), working with Lyla on building the structure for his database. Not the most exciting part of his work, but beyond necessary to make sure things were a lot easier later on. So when Lyla forcibly closed down all their work and refused to let him do anything until he'd gone to the foodcourt and eaten something that wasn't coffee or a coffee-related product, he didn't argue all that much.

Once he'd gotten his lunch, he stopped trying to go through database constructs in his brain, and looked around for where he could sit. His usual spot, with a good view of the starscape beyond, was available, but there was a far better seat somewhere else. Miguel grinned as he spotted Peter Parker at a table on his own, although you couldn't really see the table because of all the random ...stuff that was covering it. Peter looked to be engrossed in examining the insides of something, so Miguel wasn't quiet, pushing a chair out of the way as he approached. Not that he could have sneaked up on Peter anyway.

"You mind if I sit here?" he asked, as he took a seat across from the other Spiderman.

"I can teach you, sure. Although I'm willing to bet you could do it already. The neural responses for everything we can do now, they're already in our brains. Like... look at these," Miguel said, and held a hand out for Peter to see. His talons stood out proud, each one an inch long and razor sharp. "These are what I climb with, but that's their natural state. I had to work hard to get them to stay flat when I'm not, uh... Spidering. My body could already do that, I just had to work out how to make it happen. Same with all the moves."

The talons folded down flat against Miguel's fingertips as he spoke, illustrating his point. Then he relaxed his control and gripped a hold of the pillar once more. "I think there's probably a load of things you could teach me, too. This wouldn't just be a one-way thing, Peter. You can do things I can't, your abilities are different than mine. We can learn from each other."
