okay so

some kind anon made me look really cool on the network the other day
so i have to set the record straight
that flippy thing is surrounded by a whole bunch of me being the least cool dude on the planet so here it is

"Spider-Man's VLOG 1080p" (Watch on YouTube)

[ The video is pretty much exactly as-is, except it cuts off right before Tony Stark shows up at the end (and skips the end part in the car entirely). Also the other superheroes have clear AU versions of their powers. Rune-powered suits, Candle enhancements, etc. ]

im not technically allowed to share this probably
but also: what are they even gonna do about it

btw if you havent met me yet, my names peter parker
and i live at aube (mostly)

ETA: oh yeah im uploading this now because i broke my phone the other day and almost lost it
so now it will live forever on the network instead
youre welcome

ha. id be amazed honestly, so youre all good
orihime says yes btw

[heromedal]

You shouldn't be, I saw that happen once. Ruined my best tire iron.

[ Just hope he's still joking. ]

Excellent. I thought she would.

You really are an endless supply of questions to be answered.

[ aka his favourite thing! ]

[made_up_names]

i hope thats a good thing

uh, all of it

i really appreciate it tho

[It's pretty clear that this isn't some small secret. This is a really big deal that's supposed to be kept under wraps for threat of some severe consequence. Which is why he's not at all surprised to see it.]

Dios mio, Peter. Please tell me that wasn't you being shot across the sky at that one point. Lie to me and say it wasn't you.

[made_up_names]

[ It's about par for the course, honestly. At least he isn't accidentally exposing the secret that will literally kill him. ]

um well
remember when i said i hit a truck?

[ Lie, he says. ]

well that's definitely not what youre seeing here

Nailed it.

[unpocoloco]

Did you just type nailed it into

[He pinches the bridge of his nose.]

Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Alright.

I hope that the mysterious person didn't hurt too much from that.

What exactly is happening in this video? Were your Avengers fighting that giant man?

UN: Bananice

[playitagain]

I know you said it's corny but...

It's a very nice suit! ♥

[punshots]

oh shoot man im sorry
didnt mean to bring up sore memories
can u do any of that stuff without a suit?

[made_up_names]

uh well
so they were kind of fighting each other? I dont know what the exact issue was, except that one of their dudes went kind of crazy and split off from the rest of the team
and my side needed more help so i got drafted

[made_up_names]

no man its cool, i just feel bad
and yeah i totally can. the suit helps but i have super powers even without it

[made_up_names]

ok yeah that much is true
like legit the coolest thing ive ever seen

[unpocoloco]

This is how they recruited you. This is how your hunter gang, the Avengers, recruited you. To break up their in-fighting.

[Is that a muffled sound of someone screaming frustration into a pillow several doors over that Peter hears? No, it couldn't be.]

Alright. And I'm assuming they fixed this some time after you got thrown into a truck.

[made_up_names]

more or less yeah
see my mentors group is mostly normal people with special rune equipment so they needed someone with actual superpowers

[ Wow, sounds like someone isn’t having a good time. ]

i think so yeah
they sent me home right after and didn’t talk to me much until thanos

[ He might be a little sore about that, despite that objectively being the best thing the Avengers ever did for him. ]

[unpocoloco]

[Most of him agrees; it was definitely the best thing. But the rest of him? He's mostly just thinking these guys suck. Used the kid twice, once for in-fighting and got him killed on the second round. Great. Awesome. He is absolutely seething furious and he's got to bottle it all down.]

More or less. You'd think being adults they could just talk it out instead but I guess not.

[Mostly bottle it. God he could use a bottle of something right now.]

How'd they even find you? Like, you specifically. Did they really not know any other super power people like... at all?

un: weaseling

[deuteranope]

fucking told em

video was of a puppy

[made_up_names]

[ Sorry, Héctor. There’s a reason why May and Gwen don’t particularly like this Hunter group. ]

You’d think so but
I guess not
Some of them were really nice to me when I was fighting them at least

[ Given that they recognized the fact that they were fighting a literal child okay. ]

I guess the leader of the other group had almost all of em yeah
My mentor saw some videos I posted of myself doing super power stuff on the internet and tracked me down
I guess uh that’s kind of a super bad thing to do what with the veil of secrecy and stuff?
Anyway I almost didn’t go, it was kinda crazy at the time
Ben had just died a couple weeks ago
But he kinda threatened to tell my aunt so

[ He means it lightly!! Ha ha, isn’t that funny. Being borderline blackmailed into risking his life for a dumb Hunter fight. ]

[unpocoloco]

Ah, yes. I'm glad they were polite about it when they were throwing you into tru

[Just when he thinks he's mad enough, that's when he sees the last message here. And he sees red.



There isn't a further response. What there is instead is the sudden sound of door banging open and slamming shut. Soon following is a vicious stream of furious Spanish ranting. There are some words in there that are definitely not polite. A glance into the hall will reveal Héctor, hands gesturing wild and angry as he paces the floor back and forth.

It's gonna be a good few mitnues before he comes back.

If he comes back.]

[made_up_names]

[ UM

The text cutting off is concerning, but worse is all the cursing he hears in the hallway. Pete’s in his room, so he pokes his head out to look at him. Poor angry skeleton uncle. ]

Tío Héctor? Are you okay?

[ What did he say?? ]

[unpocoloco]

[His back is turned when Peter peers out and so the voice has him whirling, snapping out.]

ESTOY BIEN!!!

[And then he stops, hands still held like he's strangling some invisible neck, eyes filled with rage. He breathes deep. And keeps trying to.]

Estoy bien... estoy bien... I'm... fine, mijo...

[That smile that looks more like an animal's snarl says otherwise.]

[made_up_names]

[ Yeah uh. If Héctor was trying not to worry Peter, he failed miserably. Also, that’s a hell of an expression? Has he ever seen Héctor quite that angry before? He doesn’t think so. ]

Hey man. You don’t look so bien to me.

[ He exits his room, closing the door behind him. ]

Are you mad at me or something?

[unpocoloco]

[ Of all things, it's that tentatively spoken question that deflates his anger most. He lets out one more sigh, shoulders dropping and a hand going up to his face. ]

No... No, Peter, I'm not mad at you.

[His thumb and fingers press upon his temples.]

I... am angry... at your Avengers. I am angry that they used you... and they manipulated you... and they hurt, and abandoned you, and got you thinking that you were a part of something as they did all this to you... and that they used Tía May. They used her, against you, got you involved in this stuff I don't agree with, and they did it right on the heels of your Tío's death, did this to all three of you, and I- I-

[He can't speak. He's so angry he can't speak.]

I hate- I hated hunters to begin with. But this- this- Peter, this crosses so many lines.

[made_up_names]

[ Peter looks alarmed for a moment, then - quiet. Not rushing to the Avengers’ defense which is, perhaps, a telltale sign. He’s a little angry at them for abandoning him now. He... hadn’t really put together all the rest of it until just now, but when Héctor lays it out in so many words... yikes. Double yikes.

He swallows a bit, trying to think of what to say. ]

You make it sound really bad. I agreed to all of it, remember? And the stuff I did was important.

[ But it’s a weak defense and he knows it. So he tries something else. ]

If they hadn’t recruited me then, I’d still have run into trouble back home. There was a guy who nearly killed me in October - the Vulture or something like that. I’d have fought him whether the Avengers found me or not. And - like, that suit they’d made me? I’d have been dead for sure without it.

[ He’ll just leave out the part where his mentor took it back. And then Peter promptly had a gas station dropped on him. ]

[playitagain]

Do you still have it?

[heromedal]

It is.

Let me know when you’re ready. Something that simple I can do any time.

Bring snacks.

[made_up_names]

you did tell em

I dunno why people don’t believe you
