           he couldn’t figure out what was actually going on. they’d been on a school trip, he had gotten bitten by a weird spider, and he’d gotten so sick he had to go home. it was the middle of the night now, and he’d woken up feeling... good. but a weird kind of good. everything was loud, and bright, and he couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on, so he’d picked up his phone.

          “my phone is stuck to my hand.” 

i read this as run for the government and i was 100% okay w that

        he had felt so scared, being in the hospital with her. new ham was different, but he still hadn’t gotten used to not being able to save the day anymore. his powers were so unimportant here, and he felt so helpless. allie had almost died, and the most that he could do was sit in a chair next to her bed and hope for the best. it was terrifying.

        a soft smile, or at least, an attempt. he didn’t deserve the thanks. he’d been such a bad friend to her lately, up until this point.

        “is everything okay?” 

        he spent a lot of time at night being an extra hand around the small town of new ham. there wasn’t much crime here, not compared to back in the real west ham, but still. it was too boring for him to just sit around and do nothing. plus, he had specifically come out tonight to try and talk with her. surely he could do it without the mask, but he got too nervous. 

       ‘ I KNOW THAT . ’ a pause before she speaks up once more . ‘ but i made a promise to myself to not use my powers in vain , i want to help people not hurt them . ’

         “your what?” eyebrows raise, though it can’t really be seen behind his mask. he hadn’t wanted to bring allie along on tonight, because he was always worried about how dangerous it could get, but she had insisted. now, he was worrying even more. 

         they’d laid like this before, close together, cuddling. this time was different though, wasn’t it? it was the first time they’d been so close since he’d known about her crush. since liz had left town. there was a different feeling in the air now, the feeling that maybe he should make a move. and maybe he wanted to. but at the same time, he was terrified.

         all he could think about was cassandra. what if that happened to allie?
