Oh good lord. April had absolutely no idea how to go about this. The brief walk from her room to May's felt like the Fellowship's trek through Middle-Earth as she gulped, finally standing in front of the closed door. May was gonna freak, huh. Yeah... definitely a shit fit waiting to happen. And who could even blame her??? Finally, she knocked, and as the door opened, she just nervously resorted to humor. "Gotta say... There just better not be a JUNE Parker floating around out there too, right?" May reached out and went to grab April by the front of her shirt to yank her in. She slammed the door behind them and stood in front of her clone. Or maybe she was the clone? Did they figure that out? “What the hell is this? Who are you really??” "Ok, May? First off, calm down before you take my rep as the crazy one." April sighed, holding up her hands as a show of meaning no harm. "This is everything I know in a handy Readers Digest version: when... ONE OF US was born, that douchebag Norman Osborn kidnapped and cloned us. Regardless of who is the clone, what matters is that you're May Parker. You grew up with two awesome parents. I'm April Parker. I grew up in a glass tube unconscious and with experiments being done on me. Does out matter who the clone is? Either way, you seem to have won the game of life here." Her expression softened slightly. Just a little. "I know he kidnapped me. The whole Kaine ...thing ... And Alison Mongrain." She appeared to be thinking. What was with all the clones? Why couldn't the Parkers have one single week or normalcy?? May was JUST telling JD that she was feeling so normal-- parents married, a kind-of boyfriend, and prom! "May. Listen to me." April said with a sigh, lightly letting the back of her head think against the wall in frustration. "I didn't choose any of this, alright? And I don't want to ruin whatever life you've made for yourself here. Give the word and I'm gone. I'll change my face, change my name, and move of you will ever see me again." Give her credit: she felt bad about everything she'd put the family through in her world. And she desperately wanted to atone for some of it here. “No-- No, I don’t want you to leave. You’re…” She couldn’t figure out the words. If Ben and Kaine were as much her uncles as Peter was her dad, then she should give this girl a chance. “You’re like my sister, then.” She suddenly got excited, “You’re from further along in time?? How’s Ben? He was just born, last thing I remember..” "Heh. He's healthy and strong. And loves the HELL outta you. Not too fond of me, but I think he just kinda sensed what an ass I am." She admitted, letting a big sigh escape her lips. "I was so jealous of you back home... it just ate me up inside. You had everything I felt cheated out of: the family, the friend, the people wanting to date you... and in everyone's eyes, I was just some... carbon copy." May’s smiled widened at the talk of Ben. She loved that damn baby. April dashed that with her talks of being a carbon copy. “You said we’re not alike, though, so cool it. It would be weird if you were the exact same as me--” The likeness was uncanny, though, it was like looking into a mirror. “We’re just like twins. Parent Trap and Sister, Sister, all that.” "Fine. But I get to be cool, hot Lohan. You get to be crack-whore Lohan. Fair's fair." She laughed, before hugging her 'sister'. "You know the only reason I'm NOT a carbon copy? It's because Osborn thought it'd be a great little stab in the Parker family guts to generously graft a little bit of Peter's worst nightmare to me." She said, backing up and letting her symbiote take it's natural form. "You think this does wonders for my self esteem? Knowing a piece of VENOM is in my DNA?" May’s whole body tightened when April went to hug her. Whoa, that was a little too soon. And the crack about Lohan wasn’t very nice. May watched as the symbiote took over. She tried not to look horrified. “But if you’re a Parker, you can use it for good, April.” "Damn right I can. It's a part of me, but it's not like Venom. It doesn't have a mind of it's own. It's LITERALLY part of me." She backed off a little, sensing the tension in May, and feeling like hell for it. "May... I mean it.If this is too weird for you, I can go. Peter will understand." It was obvious she was purposely calling Peter and MJ anything BUT mom and dad, trying not to let herself get too attached to them in case things like this went down. "I want to do right by you this time. And if that takes staying out of your life, I'll do it." May scrubbed her hands across her face. She mumbled from beneath her fingers, “What do you mean, this time? You have to catch me up on somethings-- what did you do wrong last time?” "I was reckless, jealous of you...." April rolled her eyes, grumbling as she admitted, "And... if we're being honest here, I was kind of an asshole. I'm not saying I'm a great person now, May. Not even saying I'm a GOOD person now. But I'm trying. I really am." “As long as you’re trying.” May slid down to the floor and hugged her knees. “This is just really weird, okay? How did I take this back home? How did my parents take it?” "You and Mary Jane took it WAY better than Pete did. Mary Jane was just her typical wonderful self, you were (rightfully) mistrusting but cool... and Pete FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT." April said, bursting into a giggle. "Oh, I didn't find it funny THEN... but since now there's a version of him that seems to like me, it's way better. Plus, Uncle Ben is totally the bees knees." “Yeah, not Dad here is a little bit less jaded than dad there. And Uncle Ben is really great… Kaine’s all right, I guess.” She didn’t get how Aracely could handle being around him so much. April’s giggle made May smile a crooked little smile. Okay. Maybe this wasn’t so bad. "Kaine seems way more fun to fuck with here. Back home he was all... Creepy and weird. Here it's way funnier." April admitted, laughing. "So... any chance we could actually act like sisters here? No pressure, seriously. If you still feel all weirded out by me, I can amscray." She offered, forcing her darker thoughts and impulses back into the recesses of her mind. May began to open her mouth and spill the whole AND KAINE IS LOADED thing but decided against that. She wasn’t sure if April was an evil twin or not just yet. “I wouldn’t mind a sister.” She smiled, and it was sincere. “We can try this.” "Just, you know, don't be afraid to smack me back in line if I act like a douchebag. I mean it." April said sheepishly, running a hand through her hair. "I really don't wanna screw this up this time. Especially not when Peter and MJ are being... so damn wonderful to me." “I’m not gonna smack you, April,” May laughed lightly. “Mom and Dad are just like that. Do you wanna go downstairs and maybe start dinner for them? You and me, cookin’ it up.” "Is this the, um... the olive branch being extended here?" April laughed, giving a wry grin as she crossed her arms. "You know what? Let's do this. Like sisters." May put her hand on the doorknob. She was ready to go-- and yeah, they could be sisters… but one thing. “Just don’t mess it up, okay?” She laughed but then her voice went completely serious-- “The moment you mess it up is the moment I’m not the nice one anymore.” |
