Groans. He's back... For now.

" Okay, Miss Mysterious. I'm sure that's sooooo true. " His mask eyes squinted playfully as he leant up against the counter. " I can run off and change if you're soooo desperate to know who's under the mask. I'm sure I can trust you. " Since he's friends with her mother, at least.

I did my time as a photojournalist. Never again, pal.

( LILITH. ) Robophobic, too? Man, we need to rise up against this 😭😭😭

BREAKING NEWS: NEWS NETWORK ROLEPLAY NEWS IS ARACHNOPHOBIC? FIND OUT MORE AT 12.

This is arachnophobic.

WHAT IS IT WITH NEWS NETWORKS AND HATING SPIDER-PEOPLE?

NOT OUR COMICS. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

He stepped forward, handing over the payment plus tip for the other, and then he turned to face Hallie. " Well, yknow. Don't know you fully. Can I trust you with that kind of secret? " He let out a quiet chuckle at this. He honestly just hadn't thought of changing out of costume.

" Doctor Richards. One of the brightest minds in the multiverse, honestly. " He smiled, moving through the door and walking over to the counter. " Go ahead, get what you like, and I'm sorry again for the last one. "

@arachnoknight.bsky.social “I assure you I took no pleasure in this.” This felt even worse than when his own members of the 4 were killed by the cosmo rays. Especially since this death was caused by his hands, rather than an unexpected event. << We will remember you uncle with the blood moon >>

" I guess not all rich people are inherently bad though, I mean, Reed is pretty cool. " He shurgged his shoulders as they started to approach a small store. " But people like Fisk shouldn't be allowed into any power. I can definitely agree with that insight. "

( LILITH. ) Thank you to Char for giving me this.

" Hah, and you think that's a good thing? " He couldn't help but burst out laughing to himself about this. " Oh, that's funny. Most rich people I know are either supervillains or create one. " He speaks, forgetting HE is rich in his own timeline.

He started walking alongside her, looking out for the place he had in mind as they moved. " So... What? You might not even exist in this timeline? " He frowned under the mask, thinking to himself. " Guess we have something in common then. So, if I'm not from this universe and you're from a —

" Well, that'd be difficult. It's a long story. " He frowned, thinking of the easiest way to explain this. " I'm FROM this earth, this universe, but from a time when the universe got... folded in on itself. We just call it Warp World now. Not even sure I CAN get back to my world, but I've got —

" Hallie. Got it. " He looked around, wondering if this world was similar to his. If so then, yes, he knew a spot. " Follow me. " He gestured and started walking down the street. " Not exactly from around here, more of a... version of here. "

He landed with grace, cheering until he heard the thud and rushed over, sighing to himself. " Jeez, thought you were seriously hurt for a second. " Although the wink had caught him off guard, he just let out a small laugh. " Yeah, yeah. I'll even let you pick the place since I ruined your —

" You can teleport, seems like an unfair advantage, but sure. " He laughed and then instantly dived off of the roof, pointing his body to reduce air resistant and slowing his fall as he got closer to ground.

" Woah, woah, take a breath! " He put his hands up in a jokey surrender, looking down at the dropped smoothie, then shook his head with a sigh. " I'll buy you a new smoothie, maybe a snack to go with it? Peace offering! I'm not trying to annoy you, I just wanted to make sure you're okay. " He—

" No, they don't, but knights do! " He let out a little chuckle, shifting down to stand next to her and folding his arms. " Oh, I can climb walls, swing from a web, do everything an arachnid might! " Red hair... chatty... This was probably the girl he was looking for.

" JEEZ- " She almost startled him into falling as well. He took a breath and shook his head. " Arachknight. Just saw someone up here and was... checking you were safe is all. Everything good? Sorry for the scare. "

Is that... a figure on top of the building? Better check that out fast! He's swinging up! Okay, play it cool. " Uhhh... What are you doing up here? "

Aaaaand as he promised, he's swinging around and looking around for a chatty girl with red hair. Not much to go on, but... it's a start.

" Red hair. Chatty. Got it. If I see her, I'll try and keep her in one place for a while. " He gave a thumbs up to Cienn. " I'll go have a swing around, see if I bump into anyone, yeah? I got this! "

( LILITH. ) We out here re-evening people's pinneds. lemme know if yours needs evening.

"I look all smug because I am actually just that cool."

" Hallie, huh? I'll keep an eye out, got a description for me? " He rose an eyebrow under the mask as he asked the question. " Would make it easier to keep an eye out is all. "

" Sounds like a great deal. Thank you. " He tilted his head in a friendly manner. " We're pals now. I'll make sure to look out for you, and you're looking out for me. I appreciate the help in advance! "

" Huh, well, hey, that's great! How about this. " He held out a communicator, a small gesture of friendship. " Ever need back up or... just wanna chat? Hit me up. I'll be there! "

... Then he's going to keep singing. He's belting out What it Sounds Like. Hope Reed likes K-Pop because it's stuck in his head.

" Well, you're fantastic! Should duet more often! "

" I mean... " He's a bit embarrassed. But yes. Yes he probably is. " If it's not gonna be too distracting for you, then yeah I'm gonna keep singing. "

" You're absolutely killin' it! Didn't know you were cool like that! "

" Yup! Manhattan area, mostly, but sometimes things take me outside here. " He gave her a quick nod. " You're welcome to join me some time. "

He just GLARED at Reed for a moment. Then deflated. " C'mon man, I was just having fun! Would it kill you guys to organise a karaoke night? " He let out an awkward laugh, rubbing the back of his head.

YESSSS. " WE'RE GOIN' UP UP UP, IT'S OUR MOMENT! "

He continues dancing around, singing his heart out. He is absolutely not killing the song, but he's having fun and that's what matters. That is until he catches sight of Reed out of the corner of his eye. Slow head turn... " Uhhhh... "

" That's what anti-hero's are for! " He let out a small chuckle, tilting his head slightly. " Besides, I've been known to be a little more... rough than my counterparts. I'm doing fine. Why not you too? "

" I'M DONE HIDIN', NOW I'M SHININ', LIKE I'M BORN TO BE — " He has not noticed Reed staring at him. This is extremely awkward, but he's going at it.

" Oh, so you're COOL cool. " He was absolutely grinning under the mask, looking around at the army that surrounded him. He should be intimidated, but in all honesty, he just thought it was really awesome! " Quite a good powerset then! You'd do really well as a hero, yknow? "

dancing to golden in the baxter building.

He stood, looking the perfect copy up and down for a second. His head then turned back to face her. " That's a pretty cool power to have! They copy a person's abilities, too? " He spoke, genuine interest in his voice. He was impressed!

He let out a little laugh at this, placing one hand on his hip. " You make it sound like you're sizing me up. I don't mean you any harm if you're worried. I have the same abilities as the rest, just with a few extra. . . friends. Gonna tell me what you can do? "
