[ INCOMING MISSION : @arachost ] ❛ people are scared. they need a leader. and right now, like it or not, they’re looking to you. so go on. lead us. ❜ — 🕷️

how desperately peter wishes he could break. when would it be his turn ? when would he be allowed the luxury of fear ? never — he has known this answer since he first donned the mask. if he fell apart now, people would die. no, not just people, spiders. it's not fair, none of this is, to any of them, but peter parker's life has never been fair. he holds gwen's gaze ... you can do this.

he smiles weakly, ❝ so i'm gonna go ahead and jot you down for inspirational speechmaker of the group from here on out. ❞ she's right though, there's no time to waste. ❝ the web is in danger — cause of course it is — this ... thing that we're up against is something new. i tussled with it in central park, it's no joke. but i think i know how to beat it. ❞ peter lifts up a small vial, holding it between his thumb and index finger. ❝ i managed to get this off of it, i think if we can reverse-engineer a biochemical compound that will break this substance down, it'll immobilize it. ❞

he looks out at the small group that had been able to gather in time. it was about to get smaller, ❝ miles, mayday, you're on science duty. ❞ he tosses them the vial, ❝ i know you can do this. hobie, jessica, and aña — damage control. this thing is duplicating clones of itself all around the city and fast. lots of people are gonna get hurt if something isn't done about them. ❞

finally, he turns his attention to the person who had given him the push he needed to set things in motion, ❝ gwen, you're with me. we're about to have the most exciting game of tag of our lives. we're gonna distract the original, buy some time for miles and may. capiche ? ❞
