So, uh. They're saying people might be able to go back. It looks like they're still testing and everything. I mean, it might not work so we probably shouldn't make plans or... I mean. I'm sure Tony and the people at the FNRB wouldn't have made this public if they thought it wasn't going to work. It's just that it's kind of a lot and a big deal and there's been a lot going on is all I'm saying.

[ETA: TONY STARK (MCU)]

Do you think if I chose to stay here that would make me a coward?

	If you go back, it won't be easy. That Jameson kook has an audience, and they'll make it hell for you. But you've got people who have your back. May. Happy. Pepper. Rhodey knows I'll haunt his ass if he doesn't look in on you. You'll make it right. Whether it's you you or some other you that does it. Ask yourself why you want to stay.

	~~I just don't want to disappoint you if I admit~~ Because maybe I don't want it to be hell. Maybe I just want to go to school. And yeah, I really miss May, but I also have family here. And it's not fair that I'm supposed to choose now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fair or not, it's a choice you've got to make. You didn't ask to be brought here, but now you have the chance to call the shots. You'll make the right choice, kid. I believe in you. Always have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What do you think is the right choice? I just... I mean what would you do if you were me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why does it matter? I'm not you. ~~What I want doesn't matter.~~ Right is whatever's right for you. Be selfish on this one. Because it's a decision you're going to have to to live with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Because I can't let you down. Not again. I mean, not that you're around to let down but... I can't do that again. Not when you're here. Not when you're my dad. And my friends are talking about leaving and I want to be selfish. I want to stay and go to MIT in the fall and just want everyone to stay here. I hate this. I hate that I hate this because of course Ned and MJ want to go back. Why would they stay here for me?

But I have to be Spider-Man, right? And if I stay then it's wrong, right?

	You don't have to be Spider-Man, Peter. But I do think it's who you are. Nobody asked you to throw on a sweat suit and fight crime, but that's what you did. In between homeroom and homework. It's who you are. I don't see that changing whether you decide to stay or go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. You're not wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Things'll be different here. I'm not sure how many will stick around. And I don't know what this might mean for manipulating the portal in the future. It could be that it gets pretty quiet here. You good with that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it bad if I say that sounds pretty good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: second filter. cutsthewire 2020-06-07 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	A little boring, maybe. But if it's what you want? What you really want. Not what you think you want. Or what you think you want to want. I tried the quiet life. You know how well that worked out for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: second filter. heyeveryone 2020-06-07 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know what I want. If I don't go back, it's not like I'm not there, right? No one notices I'm missing? So home still has a Spider-Man, May doesn't notice I'm missing. But this world would. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: second filter. cutsthewire 2020-06-07 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	That's the theory. I know it feels like you have to decide all this right away. Give it some thought. If you go, I'll miss you. But I'm damn glad we had this time together. I'm getting mushy, I know. But I'm proud of you, kid. That won't change no matter what you decide. (Reply to this) (Parent)
