Tennessee Outreach for Spider-Man (and friends)

Summary:

To: keenharley
From: tstark

I’m regretting this offer already.
But anyway, I’m the one that upgraded Spidey from pajamas to multi-million dollar spandex. It’s been good for him, but it’s not something he’s used to and that, combined with his occasional dumbassery, breaks or rips my hard work. The main source of his upkeep is his webs. And he's been busy. Needs some extra hands. That’s where you come in. I’ve sent over basic schematics of his suit and his web-shooters. It won’t run on Windows XP, so you might have to go to a library.

I hate you. Also, we don't have a library so jokes on you

or;

in an attempt to help Harley beef up his college apps, Tony offers Harley a remote Stark Industries internship to help Spider-Man. It easily becomes his worst nightmare

Not that your straight A’s aren’t impressive, but your lack of AP classes are not gonna get you into some place like MIT. I’ve got some project for you to work on to beef up that school resume

Subject: absolutely not

I’m??? Five years of radio silence and suddenly you want to be a guidance counselor. The Accords really changed you.

And FYFI, I have taken AP classes, they’re just not on my transcript because I have to take them online. It might be hard to believe, but there aren’t many AP classes offered when you live in the middle of Bumfuck, Tennessee like I do.

What’s the project. Because I’m so over the retro reflective panels. I’m not sure you know the meaning of stealth.

Much like New York, I’d advise you not to bring up the Accords again.

You’re really slowing me down here. Send a list of what you’ve taken with your scores so I can see if you’re still up to bat for this project.

PS: I’m stealthy.

Stop mentioning New York. But ignoring all that.

I told you. You need something else besides your boring-ass transcripts if you’re going to go to MIT. I only have so much pull, and that’s saying something considering I’m...well, I’m me.

And as for Spider-Man...he’s a lowkey superhero. He’s not even an Avenger, he’s too inexperienced. A youngin’, like you. He could use a new perspective. You're a perfect match.  I think you’ll do well with input on Peter’s webshooters

Harley,

Peter’s my personal, actual intern here. The only one Stark Industries has. He’s your age and he’s familiar with Spider-Man, but his workload has recently gotten a little hefty, so I thought it couldn’t hurt to bring someone else into the equation. He invented the web-fluid and gave it to Spider-Man. Spider-Man told me about it, now we’re one big happy family blah blah blah

You’re all CC’d so...Harley meet, Peter. Peter meet Harley. Spidey, meet the bozos. Have fun. I’ve got a long and overdo vacation to get to.

Hey Peter

I have a few questions concerning the whole Spider-Man project. Tony kind of left me in the dark about the details. I’ll admit I don’t know a LOT about Spider-Man, he’s not really the talk of the town here so...does he prefer I relay to you when possible? I mean, Tony gave me his email but I don’t really know how to talk to him. Her? I assume him. Though, Spiderwoman doesn’t have the same snap to it, so I don’t know. Anyway, I guess what I’m asking is just a relative overview. This guy must be relatively new, he doesn’t even have a wikipedia page.

Also like, why spiders. Black Widow had that gig kinda on lock down. Seems...a bit copy-cat.

Harley


-

 

peterparkour: ned we should make spider-man a wikipedia page

 

guyinthechair: can do here’s a rough draft

guyinthechair: Spider-Man, also known as Peter Parker, is just some punk from Queens. After allegedly being bit by a radioactive spider on a field trip, he decided that he’d fight crime in his pajamas until local Hero Tony Stark took pity on his ass and made him a Junior Avenger. Peter-Man can be found upstate at Avenger’s Weenie Hut Jr training facility in hopes of one day becoming a Tough Guy.

 

peterparkour: god.

peterparkour:  mj’s influence is cosmic

peterparkour: it knows no bounds

 

guyinthechair: she says “thank you”

guyinthechair: also, we have a flashless decathlon prep session at that hippy dippy coffee shop she loves so much

 

peterparkour: kool koffee?

 

guyinthechair: no the other one

 

peterparkour: jojo's jitters??

 

guyinthechair: no like the OTHER one

 

peterparkour: omfg ur killing me

peterparkour: Two Sugars?

 

guyinthechair: ah! bingo

guyinthechair: so hang up ur spandex and don’t be late

 

peterparkour: i just gotta answer harley and I’ll be there!

Heya Harley!

Yeah, Spidey’s pretty cool. I’ve only really met him a few times. He’s pretty hush hush about his real identity, I don’t know a lot about him, but he’s only a few years older than we are. Tony sent you the schematics for his webshooters right? We manufacture those for him, but he does everything else: the suit is designed to help him stick to surfaces, which he can do on his own. He also has super hearing, super-sight, super all the senses. There’s also the enhanced metabolism, super speed, and super strength.

That’s...pretty much it! And yeah, he’d probably prefer if you just relayed everything to me. But if you ever have a direct question for him, feel free to shoot him an email about it, he won’t mind!

In terms of the internship, I’ll make sure Tony or Pepper get the right paperwork together for your pay, as well as anything you might need for your transcripts. As for everything else...it’s basically just you and me. Spidey’s the boss, Tony just pays for everything. I’ve been working on a web fluid formula that I can’t get right. I’ve done a few tests, but I didn’t video record for research purposes yet, but once I have that done, I’ll send you the file, and you tell me what you think? Thanks!

PS: He’s Spider-Man because he was bitten by a radioactive spider! I don’t think he had a choice haha

harleyquinoa: ariel

harleyquinoa: peter says spiderman was bitten by a radioactive spider

 

thetempestmermaid: whaaaa????

thetempestmermaid: no no I don’t think that’s true

thetempestmermaid: I mean, sorta

thetempestmermaid: everyone says he’s the product of some weird government experiment gone terribly wrong

 

harleyquinoa: you’ve ventured into stranger things territory

harleyquinoa: or I guess like

harleyquinoa: it could be like captain america?

 

thetempestmermaid: yeah I guess

thetempestmermaid: radioactive spider is a dUMB theory tho who thought that up

 

harleyquinoa: okay BUT that's what peter said and peter knows spiderman SO

 

thetempestmermaid: who is peter and how does he know him/?

 

harleyquinoa: he’s the stark intern I’m working with

 

thetempestmermaid: omg you were SERIOUS with that?

thetempestmermaid: I thought you were just messing with mom!!!!

 

harleyquinoa: nope.

harleyquinoa: you are now looking at spiderman’s new right hand man

harleyquinoa: one of them

harleyquinoa: not that spiderman has two right arms

 

thetempestmermaid: i mean.

thetempestmermaid: he should have four. Four left, four right.

 

harleyquinoa: HAH

harleyquinoa: ooh, there’s an idea

 

thetempestmermaid: what

thetempestmermaid: ur gonna give him more aRMS?????

 

harleyquinoa: sorta. Like, in the suit.

harleyquinoa: idk it's in my head

Subject: radioactive spiders

Hey, sorry for the lack of introduction but I just gotta know: Peter said you were bitten by a radioactive spider and that’s how you got your powers which sounds….ridiculous? I don’t know, at least more ridiculous than the other theories. Anyway, just let me know, if that’s possible.

From: <[email protected]>

Subject: radioactive spiders are REAL

Yeah, unfortunately, the radioactive spiders are the real deal. How they got the spiders to be radioactive is a mystery to me, but there was definitely a random spider bite in a high tech lab, I’ll tell you that.

Just out of curiosity...what are the other theories?

 

-

 

To: <[email protected]>

From: <[email protected]>

Subject: I guess you’d know, huh

There’s a lot of theories. One is that you were born like that and you were a failed x-men recruit. Another is that you’re straight up an alien, that’s why you wear the mask. There’s another where they say you’re like….Captain America 2.0. Like, you’re a failed government mutated spy that was supposed to be Black Widow’s partner.  That one’s pretty good, they say you committed to the spidersona because you’re secretly in love with her.

Now that I type that all out, radioactive spider sounds a lot less crazy after all.

Thanks

Okay, I think we’ve got a basic outline. I tried rendering the design but the program crashed my computer. So those attachments are drawings from my little sister. They’re actually pretty good (don’t tell her I said that) but the last one is her suggestion that she’s making me email you (she wants me to email SPIDERMAN but she’s reading over my shoulder and I refuse to give her the address) and I won’t lie, it involves a lot of black glitter. Like a lot. I told her glitter is not the epitome of stealth, but she insisted the sparkles would nauseate Spidey’s enemies so. I guess he can decide for himself when he goes fabric shopping at Joann’s.

Also, about Prototype 17:A? I got those specs awhile ago and I had a theoretical “idea”, but the nanotech is a little beyond me, could you help?

 


 

peterparkour: hey harley’s mentioning something about a prototype 17:A but I don’t remember anything with that name

peterparkour: yes!!!!!

peterparkour: you have a lot of time on your hands

 

misterstark: okay fair

misterstark: but I didn’t do that

misterstark: that was a real suit

Email Mr. Stark and ask him for a new computer he’ll totally give you one. Or five.

I think they look good!!!! Still iffy about the fingerless gloves, but I’ll make a mock up and see what Spidey thinks when he tries it on. Your sister is really good at drawing, wow. And don’t worry, I’ll pitch the glitter prototype before he goes fabric shopping. The glitter could be a good diversion, you never know!!!

I don’t know much about nanotech to be much help, I’d go straight to Mr. Stark for that.

But send Spidey the specs!!!! I’m not sure he has the newest ones and I can’t find them on my computer. He might want input, too.

I attached the Iron Spider specs for Spidey in case he needed them, I have a few ideas. My computer is essentially hooked up to a potato battery right now, these dumb rendering programs have crashed it countless times. Idk if they’ll get through.

I hope this isn’t like some surprise I’m ruining it or whatever. I mean, if it is, that’s fine. A day spent pissing off Tony Stark is always well spent.

Anyway. I think you should add legs to Spidey’s suit.

Seriously? A stealth suit? Spidey isn’t a spy. Though, Spyderman is a pretty good pun Peter hasn’t stopped giggling about it.

But still, I’ll send Peter some samples of fabrics though for it. He’ll have Spidey test them and get back to you. I don’t think the glitter prototype is gonna cut it.

I’ll also send you a new computer, since yours sounds like it’s moments away to blowing up mandarin style. And a new phone. Both will be able to download, well, everything. It’s a nice upgrade.

Tell me about the legs for 17:A

I dunno. Ariel’s really convincing. I think the glitter is a step up.

Okay, so, Spidey’s regular suit is made with that super light breathable synthetic fiber, which is great for swinging and shit. But the Iron Spider is designed for higher stakes fighting right? If you put in retractable “legs” that can come out and keep him grounded, it’ll give him better advantages on the ground, which he might need in a fight where he doesn’t always have such a high advantage or like….you know, skyscrapers.

Maybe make the legs a glitter metallic?

Actually, that is a really good idea. The legs thing not the glitter, that’s dumb as hell. I’ll add them, maybe even have them in time for his next….fitting. Four, right? To make eight. Because you know. Spider

Those aren’t specs those are napkin samples!!!! You already roped me into doing this fakey spiderman internship and now you want me to be your wedding planner? I won’t do it. At least, not without compensation. Cut the check or no opinion. Or save yourself some time and ask Peter.

UGH fine okay why do I have to explain to you why chiffon is a bad material choice for napkins. It’s thin, it’s flimsy, it’s impractical. I wouldn’t use cotton either. Linen. Satin. A fucking polyester blend idk but don’t fucking use chiffon

Subject: no way you’re stuck with me bucko

Those aren’t the materials, those are the color choices idiot. Chiffon and cotton are shades of white. Debating on putting on  some red monograms, and if I do then I’ll have to send you more samples because you know. Contrasting.

Monograms? I’m sorry, is this a wedding or a fucking sorority. What is this wedding’s color scheme anyway. If it’s just a conglomerate of red and raspberries 1) congrats on being predictable as hell and 2) ...that’s it really. Also, can I just have your phone number if you’re going to bother me with this fucking nonsense all the time?

If you can’t tell the difference between chiffon and cotton then the nuances are so gonna be lost on you but here’s the link to the pinterest page that peter’s made for it

guyinthechair: heya!

 

emjay: yo

 

peterparkour: hi ariel! Are you excited to go to mr starks wedding?

 

thetempestmermaid: not really

thetempestmermaid: pity invites aren’t really my style

 

peterparkour: D:

 

harleyquinoa: ariel I will GLADLY go by myself I don’t need a +1

 

thetempestmermaid: what? no stark sent my own invite

 

harleyquinoa: jesus christ

harleyquinoa: you don’t have to go you know

 

thetempestmermaid: while it WOULD be a power move to not attend an avenger’s wedding after being invited

thetempestmermaid: ...it is an avengers wedding. I have to go

thetempestmermaid: even if I don’t have a +1 :(

 

harleyquinoa: ask mom

 

thetempestmermaid: but then that would be taking YOUR plus one

 

harleyquinoa: ….i know what you’re doing

 

peterparkour: you can be my date, ariel!!!!!!

 

thetempestmermaid: :D really???

 

harleyquinoa: oh god

harleyquinoa: and you've done it 

 

peterparkour: sure!

peterparkour: ned can take mj

 

emjay: I don’t want to go

 

guyinthechair: as ariel has pointed out, its an avengers wedding you can’t just??? Not go

 

emjay: fair

emjay: can I wear a team captain america t-shirt

 

peterparkour: no

 

emjay: can I wear a Oscorp > Stark Industries custom hoodie

 

guyinthechair: y e s

 

peterparkour: No!!!!!!!!

 

guyinthechair: it’s funny!

 

emjay: can I interrupt the wedding by ripping off my jacket to reveal a t-shirt that says: Pepper Potts Will You Marry Me

 

harleyquinoa: yes

 

guyinthechair: yes

 

thetempestmermaid: yes

 

peterparkour: yes

 

emjay: cool glad that’s settled

 

peterparkour: hey harley did you get a chance to check out the pinterest page?

 

harleyquinoa: regrettably

harleyquinoa: yes, I have looked at it

harleyquinoa: you know what he’s doing right

harleyquinoa: he’s making you plan the wedding so he doesn’t have to

 

peterparkour: that’s not true!

 

emjay: it’s probably true

 

guyinthechair: I don’t care if it’s true. Someone has to stop him from using vermilion embroidery on the table cloths

 

peterparkour: okay, right??? Carmine is the superior choice

 

guyinthechair: don’t get me started on the centerpieces they’re too high

guyinthechair: and just???? red roses. typical

 

peterparkour: I wanted him to take a more eclectic taste?? Like I showed him the cool lanterns I pinned but he said and I quote, ‘we’re not getting married during the revolutionary war’ so :(

 

emjay: i thought the lanterns were dope

 

peterparkour: tHANK YOU

peterparkour: I have good taste

 

emjay: I wouldn’t go so far as to say that

 

peterparkour: D:

 

guyinthechair: if we’re being honest, the color palette is too….rich

 

emjay: well stark is RICH

 

harleyquinoa: ba dum tisssss

 

emjay: ^^^^^ thank you

 

guyinthechair: ugh you know what I mean. I get that his design choice is basically like…’a hospital!!! but make it FASHION’...but no one wants that for a wedding. You can’t toss out a bland white palette, slap some red on it and just CALL IT A DAY when ur marrying pepper potts

 

harleyquinoa: oooh how about peppers in the centerpieces

 

emjay: ^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

peterparkour: sljghgjhfg

peterparkour: wild, but I think you’re on the right track

peterparkour: everything needs to be more personal.

peterparkour: s o f t if you will

 

harleyquinoa: arc reactors in the paul revere lanterns

 

peterparkour: /kdgDFHGFH FH

peterparkour: holy shit

 

emjay: sounds steampunk

 

guyinthechair: what would that even look like

 

harleyquinoa: I mean, likely a breach of national security

harleyquinoa: if they were real

harleyquinoa: right?

harleyquinoa: you can’t just put...desirable technological devices capable of charging weapons of mass destruction on a table of vermilion embroidered tablecloths

 

peterparkour: carmine

 

guyinthechair: carmine

 

thetempestmermaid: carmine

 

emjay: just use the knock off night lights they sell at Target

 

guyinthechair: wait they have those???

 

emjay: duh how have you not noticed peter has t h r e e in his apartment

 

peterparkour: in my defense there was definitely a ghost in the apartment when I was eight years old

 

thetempestmermaid: harley has one in the garage

 

harleyquinoa: ….yeah, that’s true

 

guyinthechair: I need to buy one

guyinthechair: damn there’s a ton of avenger themed ones

guyinthechair: cap shield, thor’s hammer, hulk’s fist

guyinthechair: how long do you think it’ll be before they make a spiderman one

 

peterparkour: probably never no one knows who he is

peterparkour: still gets called “spider-dude” out in the streets

 

guyinthechair: that’s not true

 

harleyquinoa: no it’s true I didn’t know who he was when stark told me about him

 

peterparkour: ^^^^^^^^^^^

peterparkour: really thought after that wiki debacle it’d get better

 

harleyquinoa: how’d that mess end up by the way

harleyquinoa: stark said it was bad press but I didn’t see….how

 

peterparkour: mr stark thinks any press is bad press for spidey

peterparkour: secret identity and all

peterparkour: made some buzz, but it’s pretty much died down

peterparkour: damage control really wasn’t that bad

peterparkour: aside from the black widow love affair rumor that sparked a buzzfeed article??

peterparkour: that one was rough to reign in

 

thetempestmermaid: hey do you think spiderman will be at the wedding????

thetempestmermaid: it’ll be fun if spiderman is at the wedding

 

peterparkour: nahhh :(

peterparkour: he’d have to show up in his mask for his identity and that’d be weird

 

emjay: and my pepper potts love proclamation t-shit won’t be?

 

peterparkour: t-shit

 

harleyquinoa: t-shit

 

guyinthechair: t-shit

 

emjay: I will shatter all of your knee caps

 

peterparkour: sexy

 

guyinthechair: i’m showing up in full lederhosen

 

harleyquinoa: I’ll do a kilt, provided I get to play the bagpipes when they go down the aisle

 

thetempestmermaid: better idea

thetempestmermaid: bc no one wants to see ur chicken legs

thetempestmermaid: SPIDEY shows up in a kilt and plays the bagpipes

 

harleyquinoa: can’t

harleyquinoa: mask

 

thetempestmermaid: spidey shows up in a toga and plays the harp

 

harleyquinoa: better. improved. but still missing something

 

thetempestmermaid: spidey shows up in overalls and a straw hat and plays the banjo

 

harleyquinoa: there we go

 

guyinthechair: gdgdKHNDLKJHDH

guyinthechair: oh my GOD

guyinthechair: that’s so funny

guyinthechair: fun fact did u know that spidey plays the tuba

 

harleyquinoa: what

 

thetempestmermaid: how do you know that????

 

guyinthechair: uhhhhhh

guyinthechair: he told me?

 

thetempestmermaid: u met spidey too!??????

thetempestmermaid: how???

 

guyinthechair: WELL………………..

 

peterparkour: spiderman saved him

peterparkour: ned walked straight out into the street without looking like a moron

peterparkour: almost got hit by a taxi

 

thetempestmermaid: did he swoop in on his webs and swing you to rooftop safety

 

guyinthechair: nah he just tugged me by the collar of my jacket

guyinthechair: he was at the street corner buying a meatball sub

 

harleyquinoa: oh

 

thetempestmermaid: spidey shows up in lederhosen and pays the tuba

 

guyinthechair: ^^^^^^^^^^

 

emjay: this conversation has really derailed

 

peterparkour: we can go back to talking about wedding centerpieces

 

emjay: no thanks

 

harleyquinoa: honestly soften the palette, change the white and red tablecloths to millennial pink, use pink roses orange tulips and red carnations. Baby’s breath as an accent. It’s not that hard

 

peterparkour: :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

guyinthechair: excuse me when does ur TLC special air

 

harleyquinoa: next spring

harleyquinoa: can we go back to talking about spiderman

 

emjay: spidey shows up in the stealth suit

emjay: btw does it still have glitter fabric

 

harleyquinoa: peter do u tell them everything

harleyquinoa: not judging just wondering how much I can #spill

 

peterparkour: oh yeah you can tell them everything

peterparkour: just them tho

peterparkour: and ariel too

 

thetempestmermaid: yah

 

harleyquinoa: oh cool

harleyquinoa: and yeah it does

 

emjay: not very stealthy

 

harleyquinoa: yeah I’ll probably have to change it

harleyquinoa: I can’t seem to get my active camouflage idea to work

harleyquinoa: but for now its very stylish

 

peterparkour: active!!!! camouflage!!!!!!

 

harleyquinoa: hell yeah

 

guyinthechair: okay for real what’s everyone wearing to the wedding because I have a feeling I need to buy a tom ford suit or just not bother showing up

 

peterparkour: honestly if you guys want custom suits just tell mr stark he loves dressing people up

 

emjay: even me

 

peterparkour: especially you holy shit

peterparkour: he’s been trying to get pepper to ditch her iconic pencil skirts for pants just ONCE for years

 

emjay: sweet deal i’ll send my measurements

emjay: i like black

emjay: stealth black

 

harleyquinoa: glitter suit

 

emjay: fuck off

 

guyinthechair: what’s pepper wearing????

 

peterparkour: she hasn’t show me anything yet but I think she’s going with a custom murad or an oscar de la renta

peterparkour: mermaid cut

 

harleyquinoa: don’t know what that means

harleyquinoa: but if she picks glitter over lace i’ll riot

 

thetempestmermaid: he DOES know what that means he watches say yes to the dress with mom all the time

 

peterparkour: it’s all good dude we’re all into it here that’s why mr stark wants our opinions

 

harleyquinoa: okay FINE

harleyquinoa: honestly.....a-line or bust

 

guyinthechair: preach

 

harleyquinoa: unpreach

harleyquinoa: i hate this don’t u see what he’s done

harleyquinoa: we’re gonna plan the whole wedding

harleyquinoa: as unpaid interns

 

peterparkour: but what fun

peterparkour: and think of the resume

 

harleyquinoa: MIT isn’t worth this

 

peterparkour: u want to go to MIT me t o o dude

peterparkour: u ned and I can be ROOMIES

 

harleyquinoa: yeah not worth it

harleyquinoa: but seriously spiderman needs to be at this wedding

 

peterparkour: he’s not gonna go dude i’m telling you

peterparkour: do u get a discount

peterparkour: and can I apply it to a large hawaiian pizza delivery in queens

 

harleyquinoa: dude I don’t pay I just...eat it

 

peterparkour: you just take it/?

peterparkour: omg you don’t like...steal a slice from the box before you deliver, right

peterparkour: because that’s not cool man

 

harleyquinoa: no I just make one, call it a goof, and eat it

 

peterparkour: a wHOLE Pie?

 

harleyquinoa: yeah

harleyquinoa: stealing a slice from the box and trying to hide it sounds like a lot of physics that I’m not down for

harleyquinoa: and honestly? It sounds impossible

 

peterparkour: no, not impossible

peterparkour: basically just...angles.

peterparkour: trimming and cutting

peterparkour: a pizza cutter is a must

peterparkour: bet I could do it

 

harleyquinoa: knock yourself out

 

peterparkour: and on another note, how many pizzas do you actually deliver

peterparkour: because rose hill sounds like it’s smaller than a macy’s department store

peterparkour: oooh!!! is it like that episode of spongebob where they deliver pizza on a rock

peterparkour: like the pioneers did

 

harleyquinoa: it’s exactly like that episode of spongebob where they deliver pizza on a rock like the pioneers did

 

peterparkour: the wild west sounds like a blast

 

harleyquinoa: it’s tennessee not the oregon trail

peterparkour: ….

 

harleyquinoa: ok im done

harleyquinoa: anyway, if you want a super discounted pizza here’s a pro tip

harleyquinoa: bill it to your SI credit card under a work expense

halreyquinoa: free pizza for life

 

peterparkour: what? No!

peterparkour: that’s dishonest

 

harleyquinoa: it is not

harleyquinoa: gotta eat to live

harleyquinoa: can’t help spidey if ur hungry

harleyquinoa: its a necessary expense

 

peterparkour: mr stark gets the bill every month he’ll know what im doing

 

harleyquinoa: if you think for one second tony 1) reads his own bills and 2) cares that you bought a pizza on his dime, you’re A Moron

harleyquinoa: which just can’t be true so just order ur disgusting sweet pineappley pie

 

peterparkour: D:

 

harleyquinoa: wait oh my god

harleyquinoa: ive just had a TERRIBLE thought

harleyquinoa: do u even use the credit card?

 

peterparkour: well….no!

peterparkour: mr. stark is just...always there. So I ask him for everything I need or use FRIDAY to order it and she approves it idk

peterparkour: what DO you bill as SI expenses???

 

harleyquinoa: literally everything

harleyquinoa: gas

harleyquinoa: groceries

harleyquinoa: a birthday present for ariel but don’t tell her

harleyquinoa: my AP exam costs

harleyquinoa: last week I ordered a new refrigerator because I’m sick of fixing it

 

peterparkour: a refrigerator!!?

 

harleyquinoa: yeah

harleyquinoa: it has a screen on the front door it’s pretty wicked

harleyquinoa: kinda want to buy new tiles for the bathroom too

 

peterparkour: oh my god

 

harleyquinoa: materials, not labor. I need SOMETHING to do.

harleyquinoa: surely tiling a bathroom can’t be that hard

 

peterparkour: um

 

harleyquinoa: what’s something that’s stupid expensive and useless, but you want it anyway

 

peterparkour: new shoes?

 

harleyquinoa: how is that stupid expensive or useless

 

peterparkour: I already have a pair of sneakers and a pair of dress shoes?

peterparkour: another seems redundant?

 

harleyquinoa: this is becoming painful

harleyquinoa: star wars

harleyquinoa: u like star wars, right?

 

peterparkour: yeah?

 

harleyquinoa: what if you just blew a college tuitions worth of tony’s cash on a lightsaber

harleyquinoa: like a REAL lightsaber

harleyquinoa: a REAL REAL lightsaber

harleyquinoa: that can like,, slice and dice, take down the dark order or whatever it’s called

 

peterparkour: im not entirely sure those exist

peterpakrour: bc mr stark would have probably bought one by now

 

harleyquinoa: he likes star wars?

 

peterparkour: he likes pop culture icons

 

harleyquinoa: ah

harleyquinoa: ok well this is better

harleyquinoa: order the supplies to make a lightsaber

harleyquinoa: that’s gotta be expensive as fuck

 

peterparkour: if i knew how to build a real lightsaber I would have 10 by now

peterparkour: spiderman’s gimmick wouldn’t be spiders

peterparkour: and he'd have the most wicked lightsaber to end All Fights

peterparkour: he'd be known as the Masked Jedi

 

harleyquinoa: so

harleyquinoa: darth vader

 

peterparkour: FUCK

peterparkour: i didn’t think this through

 

harleyquinoa: im telling spidey you think he’s a sith

 

peterparkour: well no one else wears a mask!

peterparkour: the Masked Jedi isn’t a dark force user. He’s good

peterparkour: it’s a rebranding

 

harleyquinoa: perfect glad that’s settled

harleyquinoa: so you’re making a lightsaber?

 

peterparkour: Absolutely Not.

 

harleyquinoa: you’re killing me

harleyquinoa: im getting force choked over here

harleyquinoa: switching tactics

harleyquinoa: [link]

 

peterparkour: !!!!!!!

peterparkour: is that for real!!!?

 

harleyquinoa: an actual lightsaber prop used on the force awakens?

harleyquinoa: being auctioned for sale to any commoner with a PHAT CHEQUE???

harleyquinoa: you bet you’re sweet, nerdy ass

harleyquinoa: tell tony you want it

 

peterparkour: no

 

harleyquinoa: listen to me I’m trying to teach you something

Notes:

dis still dumb

also where's the fics where tony and peter build a real lightsaber like that should have been a thing by now I feel like I can't be the only person who's thought that up this can't be the first instance of it there's no way

I know it seems plot less, but like I still have a story in mind. like for reals. I've lost a little steam with this one because the chat format is becoming SO prevalent in the fandom and I don't think mine particularly stands out which isn't good because if you do a trope you gotta STAND OUT. in my opinion. I still don't know how I feel about it but I'm here. giving you content? let's see how it goes

guyinthechair: still it’s pretty funny

 

peterparkour: but whatever this is, I think mister stark is inviting spidey to the wedding for security, just in case

peterparkour: so it’s all good

 

harleyquinoa: if you get that light saber working, I can be the extra security

harleyquinoa: no spidey needed

 

peterparkour: yeah we’re not doing that

 

harleyquinoa: it's a GOOD plan.

harleyquinoa: I've used nunchucks before

harleyquinoa: same thing, yeah?

 

emjay: no

 

guyinthechair: if you touched it your hand would get SLICED

guyinthechair: like there's CANONICAL PROOF that will happen to you

 

peterparkour: also, why have you used nunchucks???

harleyquinoa: don't worry about it.

 

thetempestmermaid: hmmm

thetempestmermaid: I don't like that

 

harleyquinoa: look, just think. the blue of the lightsaber will match the arc reactor blue in the color scheme

 

thetempestmermaid: I thought the colors were carmine and vermin or whatever

 

harleyquinoa: *vermillion

harleyquinoa: vermin is what we call you, ariel

 

thetempestmermaid: god you suck

 

harleyquinoa: anyway those colors are so 25 minutes ago

harleyquinoa: because as of about 24 minutes ago, I found something better

harleyquinoa: we have to scrap the red

 

peterparkour: wHOA NOW

peterparkour: I thought we were aiming for this whole iron man theme :(

 

harleyquinoa: oh, we are

harleyquinoa: but I got on a wedding bender on the internet.

harleyquinoa: I mean Deep into google.

 

emjay: gross.

 

harleyquinoa: and I found a shop that names their own swatches for fabrics and ribbons and stuff

harleyquinoa: [link] and they have ARC REACTOR BLUE

 

guyinthechair: SHUT UP

 

emjay: oh I know that place

emjay: they have a gold that’s straight up called tony stark gold, too.

emjay: it’s fucking hilarious

 

peterparkour: S?KGHKRHGLHGSLKHGS KDGHS G

peterparkour: oh we are CHANGING the color scheme

peterparkour: gold and blue

 

thetempestmermaid: there’s even a little glitter! :D

 

guyinthechair: do we still want little fake arc-reactor lights, or is that overkill

guyinthechair: or is this all meaningless now that the wedding's gonna blow :/

guyinthechair: literally :/

 

peterparkour: NED

 

harleyquinoa: I'm still planning this thing.

harleyquinoa: pepper and tony can break up for all I care. someone's getting married on tony's dime. 

harleyquinoa: I've invested too much.

harleyquinoa: but we can totally use the arc reactors for sure 

harleyquinoa: we put them in the flower arrangement, but simplify our color palettes

harleyquinoa: drop the pinks and fuchsias, add a few more purples and whites

harleyquinoa: orange or yellow for a pop, MAYBE

 

guyinthechair: are you joanna gaines in disguise who ARE YOU

 

harleyquinoa: ...I have a lot of free time

harleyquinoa: I’ll help tony fight another terrorist if it means I have something to do

peterparkour: that comment has some unspeakable witchy evil about it

peterparkour: I HATE THAT!!!!!

 

guyinthechair: DUDE

guyinthechair: what if the person who threatened mr stark is from some undead hydra circle 

 

harleyquinoa: see, that's where me and the lightsaber come in

harleyquinoa: I can put on the failed stealth suit and come in looking like knock off glittery darth vader and use the force to defeat evil

harleyquinoa: how hard could it be

 

emjay: you'd probably die

emjay: but that image is so hilarious, you get my vote. 

 

thetempestmermaid: its always funny to see harley get hurt, so I vote yes too.

 

guyinthechair: me three

 

harleyquinoa: look at that.

harleyquinoa: majority rules

harleyquinoa: gimme the glow stick of death

 

peterparkour: NO!!!!! no one's using a lightsaber at mister stark's wedding! 

peterparkour: but harley, send me your specs for the active camouflage material.

peterparkour: I have an idea

It's actually almost done. the last few parts will have more...types of communication. I'm going to mix in things like phone calls and straight comms dialogue, and then there's going to be some actual like, regular prose at the very end. I think you'll still like it.

Alright, Pete, I looked over the math, I think it’s pretty sound on the active camouflage, but the problems you’re running into are probably textile synthesizing. I pulled up some alternatives including maybe some nanotech, I’m not sure if it’ll work. Have Tony help you. 

VIDEO record the files of your tests and send them please. Like purposefully. Please don’t make me hack into FRIDAY’s security cameras just to see how the suit is coming along. AGAIN.

There. Video. Kinda hard to see though because it WORKS!!!! The active cameo finally works!!! Thanks for all your help! Spider-Man says hi, by the way. Says the suit fits great. 

Mister Stark wants to do a few more tests on the active camouflage and also. Maybe put it in archive for more dangerous stealth missions instead of having Spidey out swinging in some black...glittery suit. Which it kind of will look like in the sunlight without the activation. Anyway. He’ll be using the nanotech suit. Which looks even better now that we added the spider legs for better ground fighting.

That would be fine except that I got an angry call from the original designer I booked saying, and I quote, “You and your southern redneck of an assistant are gonna regret firing me when you walk down the aisle in some trash bag excuse of a gown.”

That’s ridiculous I did NOT have a redneck accent I SPECIFICALLY used southern tidewater to sound as sophisticated as possible. 

Anyway, this isn’t a loss. I did my research and trust me: Min-Seo is definitely the route we want to go. I’ve been back and forth with her for months as a secondary designer just in case your choice tanked it. She’s got a brand new dress which I attached, and it’s already made. Bottom line is that Marco hack was. A hack. He doesn’t have your vision. Or knows how to use lace to its full potential.

emjay: harley the florist called me when they couldn’t get a hold of you 

emjay: something about a last minute switch from roses to gardenias? And doubling the amount?

 

harleyquinoa: oh yeah. they can do the switch? awesome

harleyquinoa: I want this wedding to be so fragrant it’s an ad for a new perfume

 

peterparkour: sounds like you’ll certainly get your wish 

 

emjay: why the switch

 

harleyquinoa: technically?

harleyquinoa: olfactory senses and its proximity to the limbic system in the brain

 

thetempestmermaid: translation

 

harleyquinoa: flowers smell Gud make Happy Memory 

 

emjay: nerd

emjay: anyway the upcharge was insanely unfair. they must know its stark

emjay: I’m afraid to type it out again on account of looking at the invoice alone gave me a stroke 

 

harleyquinoa: it’s a good thing it isn’t my money.

 

emjay: i’ll say 

emjay: weddings are so expensive remind me to get married in a court 

emjay: or vegas or something

 

guyinthechair: mj if you could have any celebrity impersonator officiate your vegas wedding who would it be

 

emjay: dolly parton drag queen, next question

 

peterparkour: skjgjsjkskjgkh

 

harleyquinoa: the CORRECT choice tbh

harleyquinoa: that or cher

 

emjay: ^^^

emjay: ned probably wants princess leia in her ridiculous bikini outfit 

 

guyinthechair: how dare you 

guyinthechair: the new hope cinnamon bun hair rolls leia is the superior leia 

guyinthechair: anyway if any star wars impersonator married me it better be chewie 

 

harleyquinoa: how would you…..understand him

 

thetempestmermaid: that’s your biggest concern???

thetempestmermaid: not that he wants literal BigFoot to be his ordained minister?

 

peterparkour: wait hold up

peterparkour: do you think chewie was based off bigfoot 

 

guyinthechair: literally how could he not be

 

emjay: so ned wants an actual cryptid to officiate his wedding

emjay: glad we’ve settled that

 

guyinthechair: it would be memorable that’s for sure 

 

peterparkour: do you think there are avenger impersonators in vegas

peterparkour: like do you think some dude dressed as t’challa marries drunk people for a living

 

emjay: i believe there’s some guy in a giant cat suit marrying people somewhere in vegas, yes

 

peterparkour: gross 

 

harleyquinoa: blocked 

 

guyinthechair: if you could have any avenger officiate your wedding who would it be

 

peterparkour: like an actual avenger or an impersonator

 

guyinthechair: how about you’re getting married to an actual avenger but the officiate is an impersonator.

 

peterparkour: marry thor, get married by fake black widow

 

emjay: that was frighteningly fast 

 

guyinthechair: i don’t blame him

 

harleyquinoa: what about spiderman

 

peterparkour: what about him??

 

harleyquinoa: you wouldn’t want to marry spiderman?

 

peterparkour: i mean,,,,no

peterparkour: we work together, that’s pretty weird 

peterparkour: do

peterparkour: would you marry spiderman?

 

harleyquinoa: no 

harleyquinoa: don't tell him but he seems kinda lame

 

peterparkour: oh 

 

emjay: jdhfkjshdkhsk

 

thetempestmermaid: I want to marry spiderman

 

harleyquinoa: yes ariel i know

 

thetempestmermaid: i want to marry real spiderman and then have fake spiderman officiate the wedding

thetempestmermaid: double spidey 

 

emjay: what if stark got married by his own impersonator 

 

peterparkour: SKDGKDSHGKSHGKSHKDHSGHKLS

 

guyinthechair: oh my GOD~!!!!!!!!!

 

harleyquinoa: I can DEFINITELY make that happen 

 

peterparkour: what!! no!!!!!!!

peterparkour: we can’t do that to mister stark!

 

harleyquinoa: he tricked us into planning the whole wedding

harleyquinoa: we can do whatever we want 

 

peterparkour: this isn’t just mister stark’s wedding, it’s miss potts’ wedding too!!!

 

harleyquinoa: she’ll love it

harleyquinoa: she’s marrying tony cause she loves him or whatever right

harleyquinoa: think of it like a bogo sale 

 

thetempestmermaid: oh my god harley shut up ajhgksjghk

 

harleyquinoa: look the wedding is going to be beautiful and perfect with arc reactor blues and tony stark golds and enough freesias to start a celebrity perfume campaign

harleyquinoa: I think we’re allotted one (1) harmless shenanigan 

 

peterparkour: this isn’t harmless 

 

emjay: considering all that’s right and wrong in the world, I’d say it’s pretty harmless

 

peterparkour: okay WELL when you put it on THAT BIG A SCALE along with CLIMATE CRISIS and FOOD INSECURITY and whatnot

 

emjay: nice buzzwords 

 

peterparkour: yeah, i guess it’s not that big a deal. but in the wedding circle fucking with the officiate is a huge no-no 

peterparkour: right up there next to like. Losing the rings. Or. recreating the hangover movie at the stag party 

 

guyinthechair: you’ve seen the hangover?

 

peterparkour: ive not

peterparkour: im assuming that’s what it’s about tho right 

 

harleyquinoa: idk

harleyquinoa: what are you guys doing for the stag party anyway

 

peterparkour: what do you mean

 

harleyquinoa: well, you’re in the grooms party. So. that means you get to go

 

peterparkour: I don’t think that it does

peterparkour: there won’t be anything for me to do. I don’t think they’ll be doing anything. Rated PG.

 

guyinthechair: mister stark still hasn’t upgraded you to PG-13?

 

peterparkour: no :((((

 

harleyquinoa: look I’ll bet the new washer dryer I just bought on tony’s dime that he’s made rhodey plan the stag party to include you 

 

thetempestmermaid: is THAT what’s been sitting in the driveway all day?

thetempestmermaid: dude katie said they dropped it off this morning while we were at school

thetempestmermaid: you didn’t buy set up service??

 

harleyquinoa: oh shit i didn’t?

harleyquinoa: fuck

harleyquinoa: well we can bring it in when I get off work 

 

thetempestmermaid: with what??? we don’t have a trolley. Or a mule.

 

harleyquinoa: we have a you

harleyquinoa: get swole ariel 

 

thetempestmermaid: peter call spiderman and ask him to move the washer and dryer 

thetempestmermaid: i bet he can lift it with one hand

 

peterparkour: he can

 

harleyquinoa: oh yeah?

harleyquinoa: so you’ve seen him complete this task 

 

peterparkour: not exactly

peterparkour: but ive seen him save one of those grand pianos from falling while they’re lifting it to some absurd penthouse 

 

emjay: stark’s penthouse?

 

peterparkour: i can neither confirm nor deny 

 

guyinthechair: so yes 

 

harleyquinoa: well its a good thing a piano isn’t a washer and a dryer 

harleyquinoa: it’s gonna work out, we’ll get in the house

harleyquinoa: I’ll book the tony stark impersonator 

 

peterparkour: DON’T

 

emjay: do 

 

guyinthechair: yes do

guyinthechair: throw in a thor and a steve rogers look alike too

 

harleyquinoa: right so I’ll book an entire team of avengers look alikes for the Laughs-

 

peterparkour: DON’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

harleyquinoa: and peter will go to his little stag party and see things he probably shouldn’t be seeing. Everything works out they way its destined.

 

peterparkour: jokes aside I REALLY don’t think im going guys

 

harleyquinoa: peter go ask the colonel i promise ur going 

 

peterparkour: i can’t just ask him that’s like inviting myself 

 

harleyquinoa: oh my god just do it

Subject: Weddings?

I was just wondering if any of your celebrity impersonators were ordained to perform weddings, and if so, would any of them be willing to fly over to New York to do it? The event is a bit high profile, I’d need some NDA’s signed, but I’d pay triple the normal rate on top of paying for first class flights and a hotel room of their choice. 

I’m open to a few possibilities, but if you could provide a Tony Stark, that would be fantastic.

Thank you,

Harley Keener

From: <[email protected]

Subject: We’d be happy to work with you!

Mr. Keener,

I’ve emailed my staff and most of them have agreed to that arrangement! We do have a Tony Stark, but he’s not ordained to marry people. However, if you’re looking for other Avengers, we have a Thor and a Captain America who are ordained and are willing to fly over to New York if you’re interested.

To: <[email protected]

This might seem excessive, but, would it be possible for me to pay for that Tony Stark impersonator to get ordained so they can fly over and do the wedding?

 

-

From: <[email protected]>

Subject: [none]

Yes, Mr. Keener. Our Tony Stark impersonator has agreed to those terms. He’s somewhat in high demand here in Vegas, so he asks if you could send over the details and dates as soon as possible so he can leave his schedule free.

Hey Pete, I was looking at the automatic settings on the new stealth suit, and I’m not sure they’re strong enough. I think we should eliminate some of the automation to just safety overrides and consider fine tuning the manual ones. Maybe lower voice recognition options since it is. A stealth suit. Or make the mask soundproof. Did we make the mask soundproof?

Anyway. I’m concerned.

ARIEL: I hear you!

PETER: Perfect, gang is all all here.

HARLEY: How's the fit, bro?

PETER: The suit? Itchy, if I'm being honest.

HARLEY: Cloaking works, so that's nice.

PETER: What's it look like?

HARLEY: Nothing. As intended.

PETER: Uh-huh.

HARLEY: But sometimes it shimmers like fleeting light in a sunset.

MICHELLE: Poetic.

PETER: We can fix it later. For now, it looks like [muffled noises] yeah, all of you are in position - [sigh] Harley. The snackbar is not your position. 

HARLEY: Relax, reception doesn’t start for another ten minutes. And I didn’t make sure there were red velvet cupcakes to not eat half of them.

NED: Red velvet? Those are blue. Like, arc reactor blue.

HARLEY: Okay, sure, technically I guess they’re blue velvet. But it’s still got the cocoa powder, all the other ingredients, you have it. It’s - [muffled noises] so good.

PETER: Ugh. Don’t talk with your mouth full. My super eyes can see it across the room.

NED: Cream cheese icing?

HARLEY: I mean, yeah. A staple of red velvet.

MICHELLE: Blue velvet.

PETER: Guys, we’re straying off topic here.

NED: I don’t think red velvet has to have cream cheese icing. Like, it's not it's defining feature.

HARLEY: What else would you put on it?

NED: I dunno. Chocolate? Dark chocolate?

HARLEY: It’s not red velvet if there isn’t cream -

MICHELLE: My mom puts chocolate sour cream icing.

NED: Wait, what?

HARLEY: Huh. I’d like to see that.

MICHELLE: I’ll give you the recipe.

PETER: Guys! Please!

HARLEY: Geez. Who sprayed bug spray in your coffee this morning?

NED: [loud laughter] HAH!

HARLEY: Look, I’m living out my spy fantasy, okay? Let me have my ten minutes.

MICHELLE: Can be arranged. Anyone for a game of Slappers?

PETER: [snort] Sure. I call Oddjob.

MICHELLE: That’s a given. You’re pretty short.

PETER: [whine] Hey….

NED: I’m lost.

HARLEY: Same.

PETER: Golden Eye? 

MICHELLE: Nintendo 64? 

PETER: Multiplayer mode?

ARIEL: Even I know what they’re talking about, guys.

HARLEY: Ariel, you know damn well my spy dreams are exclusively tied to your desktop version of Barbie: Secret Agent. 

NED: [gasping] Oh my god, you played that, too!?

HARLEY: [gasping] Of course! Where do you think I got the idea for active camouflage?

PETER: Wait, what?

MICHELLE: You’re kidding.

PETER: You got a Spider-Man design from a Barbie game?

HARLEY: Kinda. Now that I think about it, there’s definitely a lot of sort of - uh - glitter involved in both.

NED: The holographic design when she wore the final product at the end -

HARLEY: - Inspired. Spider-Man could only hope to achieve such style. The sneak suit was pretty cool. I always wore the purple on purple one. 

NED: Right? Barbie invented the monochrome moment.

MICHELLE: What’s happening.

NED: Do you know that Peter has a little Spider drone? Just like Barbie’s robot dog?

HARLEY: Spy Puppy!

MICHELLE: Is that seriously the name?

PETER: Mine’s called DRON-E, but -

NED: I know! It’s like, the same thing.

PETER: I can’t believe this.

HARLEY: Hey, it’s the twenty-first century, Peter. Boys and girls alike can play as Barbie in her quest to create an invisibility cloak and save New York Fashion Week. Or whatever it was.

PETER: No. That’s not what I- [sigh] 

NED: Trust me, Harley, if Peter wasn’t already on that train I’m sure MJ would have beat it into him at this point.

MICHELLE: True.

NED: Besides, other than the R2-D2 plush Ben sewed for him as a kid, Peter’s favorite toy as a kid was an American Girl doll. 

PETER: Also true.

ARIEL: Really?

PETER: Yeah.

MICHELLE: Which one?

ARIEL: Oh, he’s a total Samantha.

PETER: How’d you know?

ARIEL: Orphan solidarity.

HARLEY: Ariel!

ARIEL: What?

PETER: She’s not wrong.

HARLEY: [muffled] I always liked Kit myself -

PETER: I am, once again, asking- no begging- for you to not talk with your mouth full.

HARLEY: [garbled] What are you gonna do - [pause] Hey! You webbed my cupcake!

PETER: You can get another later. Get in position.

HARLEY: You are so lucky Vogue took their pictures of the reception hall. Or I’d kill you. There’s icing on my flowers!

PETER: I’d like to see you try.

HARLEY: I’m gonna put bug spray in your coffee for real.

MICHELLE: People are starting to file in for real. Which means Tony and Pepper shouldn’t be too far behind.

NED: Oh! There he is!

PETER: What? Where?

HARLEY: Aha! You’ve fallen for Decoy Tony.

MICHELLE: I still can’t believe you got fake Tony to marry them at the wedding.

NED: I can’t believe Pepper thought it was funny.

PETER: Jury’s still out on that one. She’s really good at being on her best behavior in public.

HARLEY: You made sure Tony knew it was my idea, right?

PETER: Oh, absolutely. I’m not taking the fall for this.

HARLEY: Excellent.

ARIEL: Uh. Guys?

PETER: What? What’s wrong? 

ARIEL: I - uh -

PETER: What?

ARIEL: Sorry. Cloaking is blipping a bit. I can see you.

PETER: Shit.

ARIEL: I’m looking at you up on the rafters. Kind of creeping me out.

PETER: [sigh] Was that it?

ARIEL: No. I see Captain America.

HARLEY: Aha! You’ve fallen for Decoy Steve Rogers

PETER: Uh. Yeah, that’s not Decoy Steve Rogers.

HARLEY: No, it is. He’s just really good. Chilling by the bar.

PETER: You're right, that is Decoy Steve Rogers. But the real Steve Rogers is by the cupcakes.

NED: Wait what?

MICHELLE: Does that mean I’m not hallucinating the two Black Widows in the room as well?

PETER: Nope.

HARLEY: Wait. Peter, what did you do?

PETER: [stuttering] Well. I kind of. Called for backup?.

MICHELLE: Seriously?

HARLEY: Not part of the plan, webhead!

PETER: I think it called for it!

NED: How did you find them? They’re fugitives! 

PETER: Mister Stark has a special fugitive phone! Steve gave it to him.

HARLEY: So. a rotary phone.

PETER: It’s a Nokia brick, but. Your sentiment is correct.

MICHELLE: Falcon’s by the water feature in the indoor garden

HARLEY: [groan] I still can’t believe they draped with English ivy. I specifically asked for asparagus fern.

MICHELLE: No one’s looking at the plants, not with him standing there. Peter. Just a small question. How old is this guy -

PETER: Too old for you to flirt with. Next question.

MICHELLE: Where’s the Winter Soldier?

PETER: He better be at a hotel room across the city. What I’m doing is bad enough, but inviting the person who killed Tony’s parents to his wedding seemed a little much.

NED: Wait, what?

MICHELLE: No way.

HARLEY: Shit.

PETER: Oh. Right. That knowledge isn’t exactly [pause] public domain. Don’t repeat that.

MICHELLE: Being friends with you is sure coming with a lot of secrets. Might cost you.

PETER: I'm not giving Sam Wilson your number, MJ.

MICHELLE: Strictly business purposes. He can fly. I want to fly.

PETER: I. Basically do the same thing. I can take you for a swing.

NED: Dude.

HARLEY: Ugh.

PETER: I didn’t mean it to sound so. 

MICHELLE: Sexual?

PETER: Yeah.

MICHELLE: Shame.

PETER: [strangled gasp]

HARLEY: You guys can flirt later. We’ve got a target to scope.

NED: Now that I know the ExVengers are here -

ARIEL: -Nice-

NED: I feel like I’ve only been let on to half the plan. Am I still supposed to do what I’m supposed to do? Or did Peter not plan for them to show up. Is this plan changed?

PETER: Okay, I didn’t think they’d actually show up -

NED: - Knew it! -

PETER: But it’s still the same. Just go ahead with what we talked about. 

HARLEY: Actually. I might need to take. A detour.

PETER: A detour.

HARLEY: Bathroom break?

ARIEL: A bathroom break, really?

HARLEY: Yep. In fact!

 

[CHANGE TO COMMS - HARLEY KEENER DISCONNECTED]

 

PETER: That little shit. He disconnected!

NED: You think he's lying? I think he's lying.

MICHELLE: Either way, it can't be any good.

ARIEL: I’ve known him my whole life. It definitely isn’t.

PETER: Shit, anyone got eyes on Keener?

NED: Dude you're the one with the stealth suit. Be a better Spyder-man.

PETER: [sigh] Okay. I'll just. I’m…muting communications. Say unmute to reconnect with me, but only if you see something.

 

[COMMS ARE MUTED]

[COMMS ARE UNMUTED]

 

NED: Peter!

PETER: What!? What’s wrong!?

NED: Someone brought their Corgi puppy to the reception! By the -

 

[COMMS ARE MUTED]

[COMMS ARE UNMUTED]

 

MICHELLE: What about if I got Black Widow’s number for training and murder purposes.

PETER: Karen, mute.

 

[COMMS ARE MUTED]

[COMMS ARE UNMUTED]

 

ARIEL: Peter -

PETER: [sigh] What.

ARIEL. [shaky, whispered] There’s someone over by the cotton candy machine.

NED: There's a cotton candy machine? How'd I miss that -

ARIEL: He has a gun. It’s concealed but. You know. 

PETER: [garbled] Okay, I see them. Thanks, Ariel. I’m gonna take care of it. ‘Kay?

NED: Are you gonna cause a scene?

PETER: [whispered] No. That would be a bad thing. He has a gun.

MICHELLE: He looks familiar.

PETER: He’s got some sort of beef with Mister Stark, so I’m assuming he’s shared some magazine cover with him at one point or another.

NED: He doesn’t look like he’s about to use the gun.

PETER: Okay, but, who brings a gun to a wedding if they do not intend to use it?

ARIEL: Uh. Well. Down south -

PETER: Excluding southerners, [sigh] , who brings a gun to a celebrity wedding in New York City?

MICHELLE: Marco DiCaprio

NED: [gasp]

MICHELLE: No relation to Leo

NED: Damn. That's no fun.

PETER: Marco DiCaprio? That's him?

MICHELLE: Pretty sure.

PETER: Isn’t that - isn’t that the dude -

ARIEL: That’s the dude Harley fired! The wedding dress designer!

PETER: What the - all this because Harley changed wedding designers?

ARIEL: Everything is always Harley’s fault, that’s what I’ve been saying for years.

NED: Peter- 

PETER: I know, I know. Look. New plan, I guess. Since I have real muscle as backup.

NED: Hey now.

PETER: MJ's arms are chopsticks.

MICHELLE: This is fair. You could use them as kindling.

PETER: Look. Natasha’s got eyes on Tony, Falcon’s got eyes on Pepper. Steve and I will take care of this Marco guy but for now, MJ I need you to put eyes on the fake Steve. Just get him out of harms way and make sure he doesn't get attacked by a real gun.

MICHELLE: Yikes.

PETER: Ned, you’re on fake Thor -

NED: Oh, if only -

PETER: Ariel. You’re eleven and there’s a real gun in this room so just. Hide and don’t get shot.

ARIEL: Man, seriously, I'm probably the only one here that's even seen a gun up close-

 

[CHANGE TO COMMS - HARLEY KEENER CONNECTED]

 

HARLEY: Can you guys hear me? This the right frequency?

NED: Dude!

PETER: Where have you been? It’s about to go to shit and you just ran off to - where the hell are you? I don’t have eyes on you!

HARLEY: Heh.

PETER: [pause] No.

HARLEY: Yes.

PETER: Harley, no.

HARLEY: Harley, yes!

NED: I don’t get it, what’s happening?

MICHELLE: I’m assuming the idiot has broken into Tony’s lab and gotten the lightsaber.

NED: What!?

PETER: It isn't ready! Harley, what were you thinking? Do you even know how to use something like that? - [muffled] yeah, that’s the right one. 

NED: Right what?

HARLEY: I wouldn't underestimate me on that 

[Loud noise]

NED: No way!

HARLEY: See? I can twirl it and everything.

MICHELLE: Oh, that’s not fair. I wanted to make the first whoosh noise.

 

[CHANGES TO COMMS - STEVE ROGERS CONNECTED]

 

STEVE: Guys? Can you hear me?

NED: Barely. Christ, is the band playing a Led Zeppelin cover? Like, what is that?

ARIEL: AC/DC

NED: Potato, Potato.

MICHELLE: Harley, I don’t think unveiling the lightsaber at this moment was the smartest idea.

NED: Wait, who was that voice?

MICHELLE: Mine.

NED: No, before that.

MICHELLE: You’re the worst spy. Barbie is ashamed.

STEVE: Spidey -

NED: [scream] Captain America!?

PETER: Ned! Ssh!

MICHELLE: Oh, please. Harley’s already got people nearly shouting with his lightsaber show.

PETER: Yeah, but my ears!

STEVE: Lightsaber? Like from Star Trek?

NED: Yeah, I don’t have time to unpack that Mister Captain Steve Rogers, sir.

HARLEY: They’re just captivated. They think I’m just a performer. How disappointing. I'm trying to help.

MICHELLE: Can you blame them? You look like a freshman auditioning for the color-guard with that thing. 



[CHANGES TO COMMS - NATASHA ROMONOV CONNECTED]

 

HARLEY: It's a real lightsaber, and I'm a real Jedi now. It's Very bright, and I am very threatening. 

NATASHA: Absolutely not. You look as terrifying as a marshmallow. 

MICHELLE: Wow. Roasted by Black Widow in less than three seconds.

HARLEY: I can’t tell if it’s my greatest shame, or my most beloved achievement

NATASHA: Kid, you gotta stop swinging that thing around -

[Distant gunfire]

NATASHA: Everyone, down! Spidey, Steve!

STEVE: Kid, you go left!

PETER: Got it!

 

[CHANGES TO COMMS - TONY STARK CONNECTED]

 

TONY: Kids, what the hell is going on!

HARLEY: We told you to take those wedding threats seriously!

TONY: How is hiring numerous Captain America impersonators anything remotely serious?

HARLEY: Well. To be fair. I only hired one.

[Repulsors heard]

TONY: That’s - Steve’s really here!? At my wedding?

STEVE: Uh. 

NATASHA: Hey, Tony. Congrats. Sweet ceremony. Pepper looked great. Who designed that dress?

HARLEY: Min-seo, she’s this upcoming -

TONY: Kid. So not the time.

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

NED: Why is the band still playing?

PETER: Dunno. But [heavy breathing] I’ve always wanted to fight crime to a soundtrack. 

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

HARLEY: Oh wow. This thing really slices. I hope that table wasn’t expensive.

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

PETER: Shit. There’s a lot of people with guns. How’d they get in?

STEVE: No time for that. Just [garbled] keep taking them down. Sam’s leading people out.

PETER: I’m on it, I’m on it. Ned, MJ, you better take Ariel -

NED: We’re safe. We got her.

PETER: Thanks.

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

NED: Please tell me someone saw MJ kick that one guys ass

PETER: How is fighting staying safe!?

ARIEL: He was in our way.

MICHELLE: Heh. Got to play Slappers after all.

PETER: Oh my God.

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

PETER: The band is STILL playing

TONY: God, I forgot how much you talk in a fight.

MICHELLE: Wish they’d play the song they played when the Titanic sank.

NED: Wish they’d play the Cantina band from Star Wars

STEVE: Oh, it’s Star Wars, not Star Trek. Sorry. I always get those mixed up.

NATASHA: Sweet Lord.

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

PETER: Shit! I’m out of webs.

TONY: How are you possibly put of webs? You've always had enough to pull a ferry together!

PETER: I honestly didn't think I'd be doing this today, okay! Harley, throw me the lightsaber!

HARLEY: Aww, but I was just starting to get the hang of it.

PETER: And I’ve almost got this guy and all his hired minions! Give me the damn lightsaber!

HARLEY: But!

STEVE: Kid!

TONY: Harley!

HARLEY: Fine!

PETER: Don’t - [loud yelp] Not when it’s still on!

HARLEY: Whoops. Sorry.

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

TONY: Does anyone have eyes on Steve?

PETER: Maybe. Yes? I don't know which is the real one.

TONY: Kid, you have got to fix that cloaking. FRIDAY says it's working at 45% capacity.

PETER: I'm a little busy right now to be fixing stuff!

TONY: Just turn it off, this mission isn't exactly stealth anymore.

PETER: It's your wedding, technically. But. Fine.

NATASHA: Are you sparkling? 

PETER: Maybe. [pause] Oh, I see Steve! He's by the bar.

NATASHA: No, real Steve was just thrown into the fountain. Fake Steve just cowered by Fake Thor by the bar.

PETER: Oh. I wish Real Thor was here.

NATASHA: Me too.

TONY: I hate this. I’m suing Vegas. 

PETER: You can’t sue Vegas, Mister Stark

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

HARLEY: Goddammit!

PETER: What! Are you hurt?

HARLEY: No, you just Jedi’d the wedding cake.

NED: Aw, man. That looked good.

PETER: I hate you guys.

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

NED: He's really good with that saber.

MICHELLE: Peter looks like Broadway's shimmery Darth Vader

HARLEY: Darth Spyder.

NED: If we survive this, do you think we can convince Mister Stark to fund a Star Wars Broadway show?

TONY: Hey. Tweedledee, Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. Zip it. Some of us are trying to deescalate. 

NED: Wait, which one us is Tweedledumber -

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

PETER: Okay. He’s. He’s down. I think it’s [labored breathing] I think it’s over.

TONY: I've got eyes on Pepper, she and I are good. Steve?

STEVE: Spidey’s right. Situation is handled.

NATASHA: I’m with Sam, we’re doing an injury check but we’re gonna have to dip before the paramedics come.

TONY: [pause] Understood.

STEVE: Tony -

TONY: Save it. Not today.

HARLEY: Uh. Peter? I’m a ways away but you don’t look too good.

PETER: Well, I’ve got a burn from where someone threw a lightsaber at me.

HARLEY: My bad. Did you want the whole hand off?

PETER: I also got shot.

NED: Peter!

TONY: Kid!

PETER: Eh, just a graze. This suit wasn't all the way finished with the whole. [pause] Bulletproofing. But! It’s already healing. However, something is [grunt] off. Sensory wise.

HARLEY: Yeah. [snort] The note said ‘Have a blast’. I honestly expected a bomb.

ARIEL: Maybe it’s hidden in one of the fake arc reactor centerpieces.

TONY: Don’t even joke, kid. 

HARLEY: I mean. It's a good idea, she's not wrong. Which is why we did a preliminary sweep before the ceremony started, and again before reception opened up. Checked all the little centerpieces and everything else. Nothing was planted before people came in, that's for sure.

TONY: Why didn't you guys tell me my wedding was compromised?

HARLEY: You didn't believe us the first time when someone threatened you!

TONY: That's -

NATASHA: Fair?

TONY: Shut up, Nat.

HARLEY: But listen. Even if there was nothing here to begin with, I can't say something hasn't been planted since. 

TONY: Peter? How's that spider-sense treating you?

PETER: [whining] I'm all prickly. Something is definitely wrong.

TONY: FRIDAY, do another scan. Now.

FRIDAY: Running scans, boss.

NED: [muffled laughter] What if it’s under the piano.

MICHELLE: What, like in Get Smart?

NED: I mean. Yeah. All things considered in this room, it’s a pretty good place.

FRIDAY: Scan complete. There is, in fact, a bomb in the piano, boss. Detonation is less than thirty seconds.

TONY: Wait, what?

PETER: Everyone get down! I got this!

STEVE: No, Kid -!

 

[COMMS TEMPORARILY COMPROMISED]

[COMMS RESUMED]

 

MICHELLE: Did Peter just -

NED: Throw a grand piano out the window? Yeah.

ARIEL: He did say Spider-Man could catch one. Guess that means he can throw one, too.

HARLEY: Pete? You okay?

TONY: Answer him, kid.

PETER: Yeah, I’m fine [gasping] That was just a lot.

TONY: I’ll say.

PETER: Did I really ruin all that cake?

TONY: You did.

PETER: Damn. I’m starved. The party’s cancelled but we can still eat, right?

NED: What do you want us to do? Scrape the red velvet -

MICHELLE: Blue velvet.

NED: Blue velvet cake off the floor?

PETER: [labored breathing] Harley?

HARLEY: Yes, Darth Spyder?

PETER: You still have that employee discount at Pizza Hut, right?

HARLEY: [cackling]

emjay: oh

emjay: no

emjay: but

emjay: that sounds dope

 

peterparkour: art school???

 

harleyquinoa: I mean, design school. Might dabble in architecture 

harleyquinoa: but basically yes art school.

 

peterparkour: whoa, that’s really cool harley! nice!

 

guyinthechair: whoa hwoa hwait wait WAIT

guyinthechair: WAIT.

guyinthechair: PAUSE.

emjay: I'm going to columbia 

 

thetempestmermaid: that’s so cool, mj!!!

 

emjay: thanks little mermaid 

 

guyinthechair: So peter and I are the only ones going to MIT?

 

peterparkour: Uh.

peterparkour: about that.

 

guyinthechair: PETER.

guyinthechair: YOU TURNED DOWN MIT?

guyinthechair: i'm gonna have a stroke

guyinthechair: I'm in the process of a stroke

 

peterparkour: it's not that I turned it down but rather, uh

peterparkour: I sorta?

peterparkour: didn’t get in?

 

guyinthechair: HOW

guyinthechair: ????

guyinthechair: YOU KNOW IRON MAN????

 

peterparkour: yeaaaah that doesn’t really matter.

peterparkour: 1600 SAT score means shit for MIT when your transcript says you had to take Spanish 3 over again because you failed it due to the 58 days of school you skipped junior year

 

emjay: wow

emjay: only 58?

 

peterparkour: wish I had known they added attendance to transcripts for admissions when the number of absences are “egregious”

 

harleyquinoa: incredible 

 

thetempestmermaid: im sorry, peter :(

 

peterparkour: aww, it’s okay, Ariel! I’m gonna be working for Mister Stark while I take some classes over at Queens College!

peterparkour: besides, MIT already gave Spider-Man an honorary doctorate

peterparkour: so its like I already went 

 

emjay: no it’s not

emjay: god, how old do they think spidey is 

 

peterparkour: old enough!

 

guyinthechair: this is the worst day of my life

 

peterparkour: aww, ned :(((( don't be like that!!!! it's gonna be ok

peterparkour: I’ll let you hold my doctorate??? If that’ll make you feel better 

 

guyinthechair: I don’t care about that

guyinthechair: I wanted to room with my best friend

guyinthechair: and you’re going to design school in Manhattan

guyinthechair: and peter’s going to work full time as a SPIDER

guyinthechair: who am I going to room with???

 

harleyquinoa: you’ll get a random roommate?

harleyquinoa: Or, I can forward you the info on the person who wanted to room with me. Back when I was part of this Facebook group for potential MIT students, people would message each other to see if they could meet people they’d click with instead of just getting someone random. 

harleyquinoa: he seemed okay

harleyquinoa: at least... not a total weirdo

 

guyinthechair: fine. I GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE

guyinthechair: i hope you all rot in the city 

 

peterparkour: i can't hear you over my honorary doctorate from MIT

 

guyinthechair: think ~Eugene~ will hear me if I tell him all about Spider-Man?

 

peterparkour: ....we'll come to MIT to visit every other weekend.

 

emjay: uhhh? we?

 

harleyquinoa: yeah WE?

 

guyinthechair: :D you guys are too sweet!

guyinthechair: deal

Notes:
