What superhero thing is going on now? Where is my kid?

I'm not entirely sure this a superhero thing and I think maybe it'll depend on which kid is yours as to where they are.

[aunt_may]

When things go upside down, superheroes usually show up. I'm May Parker. I'm looking for Peter.

[ahugedork]

I wish I could say that's a bit of an exaggeration, but that would be wrong.

I haven't met Peter personally yet, but from what Tony says, he sounds like a great kid.

[aunt_may]

They do what they can. I get it.

Thank you. I appreciate that. You are a friend of Tony's then?

[ahugedork]

Doesn't mean it's easy to deal with when it happens.

He was honestly the first friend I had after a very long stint alone. He's a good man.

[aunt_may]

No. Especially when it hits home.

I learned that.

[ahugedork]

Ah, did he have you convinced of the Giant Asshole persona? It's a cover, he's a big mush, he's also going to kill me for this so it was very nice meeting you while I could Ms. Parker.

[aunt_may]

A little bit. He was there for Pete. It goes a long way. And he saved--

Call me May.

[ahugedork]

He's also a big dumb hero. So there's that.

Nice to meet you, May. I'm Bruce Banner.

[aunt_may]

There is that indeed.

[BRUCE/MAY]

We met once. It wasn't under ideal circumstances. I take it we are from different periods.

Bruce/May

[ahugedork]

As best as I can tell, I'm from a far different point in time than most here. I have no memories of most of the things I'm hearing about.

But where I'm from, Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff are both very much alive and I'd like to keep it that way.

[aunt_may]

I don't know if you are lucky or not. It must be a hell of a lot to digest.

Bruce/May

[ahugedork]

It's definitely going to take some time for it all to sink in. I have a surprise niece, though, so that's good?

Oh, I'm also not 'big and green'. Apparently that needs a disclaimer around here.

Re: Bruce/May

[aunt_may]

Morgan is a great kid.

I'm not either.

Bruce/May

[ahugedork]

Of course she is, look who her parents are.

May, I'm 99% sure you're joking but around here, you can't actually be sure.

Re: Bruce/May

[aunt_may]

Listen to the 99%.

Ms. May, My name is Gert Yorkes. I don't know a whole lot, I guess you'd consider me more superhero adjacent. I haven't seen your kid, but I'm happy to help in any way I can.

[aunt_may]

Hi, there. Call me May, please. If you see a Peter Parker, point him in this direction, would you?

Super-hero adjacent? So you do the superhero stuff with none of the perks?

[arsenicandoldlace]

I'd be happy to!

Yep, that pretty much describes it. I mean I do have a telepathic link with a dinosaur, but that's not like an actual power. Mostly, I just worry a lot and try not to get in the way.

[aunt_may]

Thanks.

That sounds pretty damn cool. I'd think having a dinosaur would come in handy on some missions.

[arsenicandoldlace]

Sometimes!

I kind of feel weird taking her sometimes, because well, I'm not sure how much a genetically engineered theropod can actually consent to crime fighting and repelling alien invasions, but we're working on it.

[aunt_may]

I feel like she'd make her feelings known somehow.

[irondaughter]

It's okay, Aunt May. Dad is in charge here, we will figure it out!

[aunt_may]

Morgan, baby? You are writing better than the last card you made for me.

[irondaughter]

Oh. I'm 16. Dad says I was four a little while ago and that there are althea time lines now.

Are you okay? Do you need anything?

[aunt_may]

Nothing surprises me anymore.

I'm okay, sweetheart. Have you seen Pete, by chance?

[irondaughter]

You're doing better than me then! When I saw my dad, I flipped.

I think I saw him respond to something earlier. But I haven't spoken to him yet.

[aunt_may]

I'm sure he was thrilled to see you, baby.

Oh, thank God. Thanks, Morgan.

[MORGAN/MAY]

If it is too much for you, come see me, okay?

[irondaughter]

I think he was.

Of course.

[Morgan/May]

I will. I promise. You can't get rid of me.

[ironandheart]

May? He is here. He is okay. He is coming to my office {location}.

[aunt_may]

I'm coming.
