“ OH SH- ” the pounding of foot hitting earth ( or something earth adjacent, peter thinks ) meets his ears as he bursts into a erratic sprint. one of his jet boosters was fucked, and he had two options : let the giant hungry monster devour him whole, or .. find another plan. 

frankly, he wasn’t a fan of dying. 

“ it would be really helpful if one of my super talented friends and fellow guardians would appear out of nowhere and save my ass - and it’s taking me a lot to admit that right now! ” boot heel is slammed into a rock, attempting to revive the fried booster, and for a moment it sputters before poofing out smoke. 

“you are far too sure of yourself,” he knows not how to compliment, instead offering critique as a token of affection. “my record is . . . less than pristine mantis, one can only assume that avengers are not as forgiving as you are.”

he knows better than to question her judgement, knows better than to doubt her. time and time again, mantis has proven her poise, meanwhile he has been nothing but a failure. the last time he faced the avengers he could barely tell the truth of a story, that the bomb in his hand was meant to be dismantled, not a ploy he placed. 

“i worry, you put too much faith in me. a faith that i believe may not be well deserved. ”

Send 💕 (or “hearts!” if the symbol doesn’t show up) and I’ll fill out the following for our muses:

Have we discussed shipping before?: yes || no

My interest level overall: I’ve wanted this for so long || can’t wait || I think it’ll be fun || kinda feeling it || maybe with a lot of plotting || I need to think about it || not interested, sorry

How we should do this: jump right in || slow burn || pre-established || build up to it in a thread || anything goes

     “OF COURSE I DIDN’T.” Response is succinct, complete with a calm aura that leaves little room for argument. Of course, the words are a blatant lie— he understands certain suspicion garnered towards him with his extravagant, unexpected return ( that had been the BACKUP PLAN, after all— when faced in a situation unable to back out of: place the blame on Parker, expose his secrets, and when the world turns against him, reveal Mysterio’s continued existence. Had he really been foolish enough to believe Quentin was truly gone? ).
