You've reached the voicemail of Star-Lord. Hit me with your best shot. Or— crap, wait, I should've quoted "Call Me" instead. Aw, dammit. Is it too late to— [ BEEP ] [ text | video | voice | action ] gif credit

I dunno if a floor has the shape requirements for a shelf.

['Peter, law enforcement reporting possible break-in. I'm sending the coordinates now.']

But it does mean we're all technically balancing on a moving ball right?

We could join the circus!

[Pete you're swinging through the air on a web.]

[nostalgiabomb]

pretty sure you’re the only one of us who meets the clown criteria

[madeupnames]

Was that insulting or a compliment, because wow.

[nostalgiabomb]

sure

[ yes, this answer is willfully unhelpful. ]

1/3

[madeupnames]

Oh yeah well

If anyone fits in clown shoes, it'd be you, you weird giant.

[madeupnames]

[WHSFG ONE SEC FREE-FALLING]

[madeupnames]

Why is this city like this, why do people just have space guns.

I'm confiscating all your space guns.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ what the hell is with that non sequitur?

Peter frowns at his comm for a second before it clicks. ]

dude are you getting shot at right now

didn’t anyone ever tell you not to text and fight

[madeupnames]

Okay dad I'll be more careful.

Actually Karen helps a lot with texting sometimes! Like right now! She's doing voice to text hey dude can you please stop aiming for my face note to self, make web resistant to futureguns Karen don't send that



I also have been getting better at this weird tingly thing in my spine and head. Like, I feel like I know when bad things happen? I thought it was crippling anxiety but now I think it's something different!

Like


a Spidey Sense, or something.





IDK

[nostalgiabomb]

[ You know, giant walls of text are never good to look at. So the first thing Peter texts back is: ]

oh jesus

[ After that, he goes back to skim the mess that is this message, and—

First of all, no comment on the “dad” front. Peter Quill and fathers don’t mix well.

And second of all— ]

oh my god

you’re not gonna for real call it that are you

[madeupnames]

[Spider-punching and kicking is happening right now, one sec.]

is Spidey Anxiety better?

[nostalgiabomb]

not really

that just sounds like you have a problem with spiders and might need to speak with a therapist

which is the opposite of what you’re trying to go for i figure

[madeupnames]

Says the guy who is not an actual Lord of Stars.

Spidey Sense it is then!

"My Spidey Senses are tingling!"

Man that sounds like something an old school detective would say before they find a clue, I kinda love it. Just call me Spider-Detective, ace crime solver.

[nostalgiabomb]

oh my god

don’t say it’s tingling

it’ll sound like you need some kinda ointment

[madeupnames]

But that's what it feels like! It's like this tingly feeling that runs up my neck, and it makes my hairs stand up. Like, I dunno. You know the rush of danger? Only sometimes it ends up just being a paper ball someone throws at my face. Or a car that's driving too fast near me. Or Tony Stark coming to take my suit.

but 60% of the time it's really actual danger!

[nostalgiabomb]

okay
fine
point taken

i’m just saying i dunno that I can take your tingling seriously, inspector clouseau

[madeupnames]

hey I totally used it to save a cute dog this morning, don't judge.

It did not save me from the cold I got a week ago tho, yikes.











who's inspector clouseau

[nostalgiabomb]

a famous detective

[ Again, willfully unhelpful. If Peter knew what Google was, he’d suggest the kid use it.

But shifting gears, he frowns at his comm again. ]

you caught a cold?

[madeupnames]

I mean, more like it caught me. I wasn't actually trying to do any of the catching.

[HA!]

anyways it was gross, I could have probably just webbed guys to walls with snot.

[nostalgiabomb]

gross

and potentially irresponsible

you could probably kill an alien with the common cold you know

[ Or maybe Peter's just drawing on his knowledge of War of the Worlds? ]

[madeupnames]

Hey man, they could take me out with the sniffles too!

It's a spider eat spider world out there. 👀

But yeah it wasn't a big deal, just made me annoyed while i worked.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ A bit of a pause. Then, ]

listen i know you have a brand to maintain

but does everything really have to be spider related

[madeupnames]

I AM THE SPIDER THAT DWELLS IN THE NIGHT! LOOK OUT, CRIMINALS, THE MASTER OF THE ARACHNIDS IS READY TO TRAP THEM IN HIS JUSTICE WEB!



MWA HA HA [sic]



no what karen don't send him that

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter stares at that text message, almost incredulous, before the corner of his mouth quirks up in a small smile – a rare sight, these days. ]

tell karen i said thank you for that gift and that she is a gem
