she’s slightly uncomfortable. okay, slightly was a definite understatement, but she was doing a good job at hiding most of it. he was at least reacting well to it all, that was something? not that it meant that she enjoyed talking about it, or being asked questions.

“i don’t uh, think that i can fly.” that’s one thing that she knows for sure. “that would be cool, though.” mostly because the human torch was basically her childhood crush. still, she didn’t honestly know all the ins and outs of her powers. no one had ever really offered her any kind of information. “my hands they just, kind of uh, make fire? i dunno. it just uh, is warm, mostly? it doesn’t actually hurt me.”

peter mellowed down almost instantaneously when he could sense the other’s discomfort. he really needed to work on being less excitable. ❛ sorry, it’s just … not common for me to meet other people like me. i mean, not exactly like me, but you get what i mean. ❜ he rambled, though it went unnoticed by the other. his brows furrow at the information as she spoke, though he only raised more questions.

peter refrained from asking. ❛ so were you just … born with them? your powers, i mean? ❜ the question stumbled out, ❛ sorry, that was intrusive. if you don’t want to answer, i totally understand. i can shut up. ❜
