The Library is Open (01/30)

Rory's sitting behind the desk, tapping a pen against it and obviously deep in thought.

She's here for all your library aide needs, however.

Peter took a seat in the library and once again started to look over the Constitution for Government class.

"Hey, you. Get into trouble this weekend?" Parker asked, tapping on his book cover.

"I wouldn't say 'trouble'," Peter said, looking up from his book. "My secret was blown, but most people don't seem to care unless I say the S-word."

"How'd you do with the fighting on Saturday?"

Parker rolled her eyes. "Blown how? And I told you that was inevitable." She made a face. "My ankle got busted and my head knocked around early in the proceedings. I missed everything except Logan Echolls' house getting eaten."

"What do you mean 'blown how?'" Peter asked. "This time last week nobody knew. Now people know I'm an idiot for fighting evil snowmen without a weapon, but I only got bruised up. The secret is blown, generally speaking."

"At least I'm best in show, according to the radio."

"Sorry to hear that about you, though. Doing better now?"

"I missed the radio, Petey Boy. But thanks for clearing that up. 'Best in show'? That had to be John, I'm thinking." She palmed her face, but she was grinning. "So. How did you take them out, without a weapon? And yeah, I'm fine. Alanna did a healing thingie, and I'm just a bit bruised and sore."

"Yeah, that was John. He sounded like he really needed some sleep," Peter shrugged.

"I actually did use some weapons, actually. Angel had us using flaming stakes, which was kind of fun. That and tree branches. Other than that, I just jumped in there and hit them." Peter Parker was not exactly a master of strategy.

Parker gave him a dubious look. "Ah. And this is the usual battle plan, in your reality?"

Peter made a quick mental list of superheroes in his dimension. He could only think of a couple other heroes who didn't either fight with weapons or at least long-range powers. And they either weren't fighters or they were built like tanks.

"Yep," he said. "We're a barbaric people."

"You're so full of it." Parker shook her head. "There's a thing. On Friday. A-- study group, similar to the snow monsters. Do you want in? It sounds like you might enjoy it."

"A study session, huh?" Peter thought about it briefly, then answered, "I think I have to pass. Snow-monsters aside, I am trying to cut back on my... studying. It's for my own good, I think."

Parker looked disappointed, but shrugged. "Fair enough. Let me know if you change your mind, though. Or talk to Aeryn or Angel about it." She smiled. "So how does being out of the superhero closet without spandex feel?"

"I probably won't. I prefer to study solo. But if you ever really need someone for an emergency cram session, let me know." Peter was having way too much fun speaking in code.

"And it feels good to be out in the open with powers. I'm still not going to be talking much about being a superhero, though. Powers, people are fine with. Once you mention being a superhero, people get spazzy. It's weird." Peter shrugged. "Must be the spandex."

"Yeaaaahhh," Parker drawled. "That's probably it."

"I'll have you know that I look surprisingly good in spandex. Women have swooned." Peter nodded for emphasis.
