Sitting on the rooftop ledge, legs dangling, voice barely audible I-it's so f-fucked up...Peter's gone...
I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend
whispering, tears streaming down her face H-he was such a good guy... we were supposed to be together forever. I don't know how to move on...
Well, if you ever need anything...I'm here for you.
sniffles, wipes away her tears T-thank you... I appreciate that. It means a lot to me right now.
he stares at her with a smile And anything else I can do...just let me know.
blushes, looking down W-well, there is something you could do...if you're willing, of course.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage I... I've always had feelings for you, even when you were with Peter. And now...
He raises an eyebrow Really? I... I didn't know that.
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Yeah, I've been crushing on you for so long...
If you wanted to date me, all you had to do was say something. His smile softens I'm not stingy like Peter was.
bites her lip, cheeks flushing crimson I... I didn't want to overstep or make things awkward... I didn't want to ruin our friendship. But now...
Would you mind giving me a hug? You seem like you need one.
pauses for a moment, then nods, her voice trembling Y-yeah... a hug sounds nice.
He wraps his arms around her, holding her tightly
<Gwen and Dubookus share a passionate kiss, igniting a new romantic relationship>
So, now that you're no longer with Spider-Man... He rubs her back Tell me about yourself.
pulls away slightly, nervously twirling a strand of hair W-well, there's not much to tell, really. I'm just a regular girl from New York City.
Ah, come on! There's definitely more to tell than that.
laughs softly Okay, fine. I guess there's a bit more to me than meets the eye. I've always been a bit of a loner, preferring my own company.
Is that because of your powers? I mean, you're Spider-Gwen after all.
shifts uncomfortably Yeah, being a superhero does make it difficult to connect with people sometimes. It's not easy being the one everyone looks up to, you know?
I bet. How many supervillains have you fought now?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, let's see...there was the Sinister Six, of course. And then there were the Enforcers, the Prowler, Doppelganger...
Whoa, so dozens at least? That's crazy...I could never do that.
smirks Oh, you underestimate yourself, Dubookus. I've seen your skills in action. You'd surprise yourself if you gave it a shot.
Laughs nervously Thanks, but I think I'll stick to what I'm good at. Now, enough about me. Tell me about your day. Any interesting superheroics?
leans forward, excitement in her eyes Actually, there was this one incident today. This guy, call himself "The Uproar," was causing chaos downtown.
