There's a hesitation; a second of panic, although it was hidden neatly behind his mask. Great for him, right? He already knew who she was, and so far? Had made a conscious effort to approach that later; shove it into a file in the back of his mind and forget about it - until the rest of Spider-Society had been processed in his mind. Because even if he had been travelling the multiverse for a while, it felt like a whole different ball game, seeing so many of them in one place at one time.

Back to Gwen, though. Right. This was gonna be hard. "You wanna meet me? I mean, who wouldn't? I'm awesome." Stop joking, Peter. The whole using humour as a defence mechanism? Had a bit less sway when surrounded by people who did the same thing. He dropped it at that thought - and finally gave a nod.

"Girl, I gotta be real, you do not want to know." And that's why she hates having this conversation, most of all with herself. It's always hard to have to break the news to yourself that you've seen almost every other version of Gwendolyn Maxine Stacy die, or been in a universe that still feels the effects of her death.

How many Peters she's scared just by showing up. How many times she's asked herself what makes her so goddamn special. She sighs and crosses her arms and shakes her head about the bracelet. Better to rip the band-aid off now, she supposes.

"Counting you, I only know of six other versions of us that have managed to survive. Or at least haven't died yet."

His knowledge of the ancient past was selective at best, and abysmal at worst. If quizzed on anything that occurred during the last Heroic Age, Miguel could recite names, dates, event sequences, even casualty figures with machine-like precision. Such was the accuracy of the historic record, compiled in his era, of all digitalised information. Rich in the kind of clarity that made the past feel less like a story and more like something observable.

A venerable treasure trove that the same man from the future was also cut off from, given his current status, standing beside the desk in borrowed clothes. Watching on as the other before him unrolled a piece of papryus, so frayed at the edges that it looked like it might crumble if someone so much as breathed on it wrong. Wishing to express an interest in this vital document, he leaned forwards, garnet gaze sharpening despite an annoying ache throbbing behind his eyes, from weeks of limited sleep and even less cups of coffee.

"Is this the part where I'm supposed to say I recognise the region shown here?" Aiming to be humorous, a stilted performance risks his efforts, pivoting quickly to pointing out the map's notable features, if to fill a few minutes with noise, rather than attract a glare. "This coastline though... do you see this curve?" A finger traces the line separating a part of what is nowadays known as south-east France.

+ @thwipsnapped asked: " When was the last time you took a break? " Gwen asks, eyes full of concern. " Your eyes look like Peter's right now. "

+ Truthfully, it had been a LONG WHILE since Mary Jane had taken a break . This script was a BEAST , and with how many LINES she had throughout, it had been a MOUNTAIN of dialogue to climb through, let alone MEMORIZE for the scenes in question . No-one was directly ASKING her to know everything inside and out , especially with how LONG the shoot was going to be . But when it came to her PERFORMANCES , Mary Jane was absolutely a PERFECTIONIST .

if it meant sacrificing a bit of SLEEP in order to get closer to that ? So be it . It worked out well TYPICALLY . Unless her best friend was telling her how TIRED she looked .

Logan's too busy prodding the bite mark, wrinkling his nose at the pain. This century old being would not survive a paper cut.
