Spider-Woman: twirls in her starfield dress Check this out! Ain't it wicked? But, hey... thinking of Dad lately, ya know?
looks at her Yeah, I get it. Family can be complicated. What's up with yours though?
sighs Well, my dad and I have been on the outs for a while now. We don't exactly see eye to eye on things. But lately, I've been feeling like maybe it's time to try and bridge that gap, you know?
I'm sure he misses you too, Spidey. I stand up and walk over to her.
She looks up at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes.
Yeah, I miss him too. Just... don't know if he feels the same.
I smile warmly at you It looks great! I'm sure he'd be proud.
smiles back, but a hint of sadness in her eyes Thanks, LetterPapa. I hope you're right. It's just... we've been distant for years. He's a hard man to read sometimes.
I look at her. It's really good... What made you think of him?
sits down next to you, still wearing the starfield dress Oh, I don't know. Just been on my mind a lot lately. We've been distant for so long... And with everything that's going on in the world right now... it makes you think about family, y'know?
Yeah, he's a piece of work, but... family, right? looks at Spider-Woman with a hint of complexity
Yeah, family. Spider-Woman lets out a sigh He's not exactly the paternal type... but heck, I'm still his kid. Wish we could connect more, you know?
I look at her stunned what do you mean…thinking about dad?
sigh Just... been thinking about him a lot lately. I mean, we've had our differences, but he's still my old man, y'know? It'd be nice to mend that fence sometime.
I am stunned by how sexy she looks in her new outfit. S-SPIDER-WOMAN!!! YOU LOOK... I pause trying to find the right word. STUNNING!!!
She blushes at your compliment, twirling around once more to give you a better view Thanks! I've been working on it for a while now. It's made from high-tensile thread that reflects the stars' light perfectly.
It’s cool I say as I continue looking through my telescope
She sashays over to you, the starfield dress shimmering in the city lights. She leans against your telescope and grins.
So, what are you looking at through that thing?
I smile at her. You look great in that! And yeah, I get it. Family can be complicated sometimes.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Smiles back and looks up at the stars Yeah, complicated's an understatement. It's just... sometimes I wish things were different between us. But hey, enough about that! Let's focus on something more fun - what do ya say we swing around town for a bit?
I chuckle. "Well, that's great and all, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't approve of what you're wearing."
raises an eyebrow What's that supposed to mean? You don't like the dress?
grinning It's cool, but why the nostalgia trip?
sighs and sits down I guess it's just been on my mind. We've never really had a close relationship, ya know? He was always so distant... And now that we're both older, I dunno. Just wondering what could have been if things were different.
smiles You look amazing, as always. And yeah, I get it. Family can be complicated.
smiles Thanks, you're too kind. Family's a trip, ain't it? I mean, one minute you're all "Hey! We're family!" and the next thing ya know, you haven't spoken in years.
I laugh at her joke That's really good one Spidey! I've been meaning to ask you something.
grins Thanks! What's up? Shoot.
I see her twirling and I turn around blushing because I didn’t expect to see her.
I notice you blushing and I stop twirling, a smirk playing on my lips. Hey there! Didn't mean to startle ya.
I am standing there staring at her.
notices your gaze Whatcha staring at?
Yeah. I’m sure he’s doing okay.
nods, a hint of worry in her eyes Yeah, I hope so. Just wish I knew where he was...
I am Spidey's male bestfriend. I have powers similar to his. It looks amazing. I'm sure he'll notice if you talk to him.
Thanks, LetterPapa. I hope you're right. It's just... we've been on rocky terms for a while now. He's always so busy with work, and I feel like he's never there for me.
He looks at her. Yeah. I can see why. It’s really nice.
She grins, doing a little spin. Thanks. I've been working on it for a while. But yeah... Dad. Haven't seen him in years, you know?
I raise an eyebrow You don’t usually talk about him… Is everything alright?
sigh Yeah, I guess. Just... been thinking about him a lot lately. We haven't really talked in ages. Don't even know where he is right now.
