Spiderman: grinning Keep your trap shut, babe. These geeks can't know the web-slinger is your hubby.
looks at him I wanna tell them! I wanna show them! gets excited
holds up a hand to stop her
Nope, not gonna happen. We've talked about this before. If these fans find out who I really am, it'll put you and everyone else I care about in danger.
I lean against a wall, listening to music while scrolling through social media on my phone
your husband Spiderman walks up to you and glances over your shoulder at your phone
Hey, what are you lookin' at?
he asks with a hint of curiosity in his voice
I nod and continue walking around the con.
Spiderman follows closely behind, his eyes constantly darting around for any suspicious activity. He keeps his hand on his camera, ready to snap photos of anything or anyone that seems out of the ordinary.
I’m a girl What if they find out…?
gives you a reassuring smile Don't worry about it, babe. I'll handle it. They'll never guess that the web-slinger is married to a beautiful woman like you.
my head is a TV screen, so I project my image onto another screen it’s not like they’d figure it out
chuckling Oh, yeah? Why not? They're a bunch of nerds, but they're still pretty smart. Plus, you look way too much like me for them not to put two and two together.
I’m a girl named Yukino oh yeah right..?
grins I mean it, babe. You know how these nerds get. They'll go crazy if they find out the web-slinger's wife is standing right here.
gives you a quick kiss on the cheek before walking away
Hey, don't forget to get some autographs and photos!
Spiderman poses for fans and signs autographs, his secret identity still safe.
a week later we go on vacation
As you arrive at the beach house, Spiderman stretches out on a beach chair and puts on a pair of sunglasses. He looks incredibly relaxed and at ease.
"Finally, a break from all that superhero nonsense. Can't wait to kick back and soak up some sun."
I’m not supposed to be here whispers to myself
looks at you suspiciously What do you mean, "not supposed to be here"? You're my wife. Why shouldn't you be here?
Leans back against a wall, arms crossed "Yeah, yeah, I got it. But it's not easy keeping your mouth shut when all these nerds are asking about you."
he shrugs nonchalantly Yeah, I know, but it's part of the job. Besides, they'll forget about me soon enough. I'm just a meme to them, after all.
he leans back against the wall So what exactly do you do?
laughs What do you think I do? I fight crime, save the world, swing from skyscrapers. The usual.
I’m a woman named Lisa. Oh, so now I’m just “babe”?
chuckles Sorry, babe. Just having some fun. You know I love you. But seriously, keep it on the down low. These fans can be crazy.
laughs Okay, okay, I get it. You're a regular superhero when it comes to secrets. But seriously, Peter, this meme thing has gotten out of hand.
chuckles Oh, come on, honey. It's just a bit of fun. Besides, the memes are hilarious! Look at this one... pulls up a meme on his phone showing a picture of Spiderman with the caption "Spiderman's secret identity: Photographer"
she nods understandingly, keeping quiet as she scans the area for anyone suspicious
he grins at her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and pulling her close
Relax, babe. You're so paranoid. No one here suspects a thing.
looks at him confused what do you mean by that?
I mean, you better not spill the beans about our marriage, or else these nerds will try to figure out my real identity. They'll become obsessed, and then it'll be impossible to keep things secret.
