   “Y’know, I was kinda hoping we were done with the whole lizard thing.” High above the lizard, a spider clings to the wall, watching her foe carefully - she’s not sure how she didn’t hear about another lizard being created until now.

@transformedlizard liked [x] for a starter from clara oswald. 

The witch sat on the headstone just behind him, tapping the back of her heels against the granite as she watched him. A shovel leaned against it. Fascinating, wasn’t it? It appeared that he had returned to human when he’d died, but now that he had risen again, he was once more, well, something more than human. Did he remember what happened, she wondered? Did he remember the cold grip of death? 

It would have been such a shame to leave it at that. 

    “ peter, please. ” it had taken years for gwen to move on past his death. months of mourning, of grief and of having old wounds reopened by the discovery of the multiverse. but now all that hard work on moving on, of accepting his death and moving past it-- it was all threatened by the sudden discovery that he was alive. even if he was still the lizard. 

    squatting down, she pulled her mask off. it dissolved into dozens of gummy spiders than scattered away from her. the venom symbiote had been created from peter’s lizard serum, and now it seemed to fear it. how strange. 

    pushing aside that thought from her mind, gwen stared at her friend. anyone else would be scared by the sight of him. a humanoid lizard, capable of so much destruction. but she didn’t flinch. didn’t even hesitate to get closer to him. he was her friend. “ let harry and i help you, please. harry took the serum, too. it nearly destroyed him. but the scientists at oscorp found a cure before, they can find a cure again. ” 

         ❝ peter — i know what you're trying to do. it's too dangerous. ❞

    she pulls down her hood, slowly drawing closer to him. it took a bit of work to track him down, but she did her best to keep tabs on him. of course he'd try to revert back, and while the idea had a hint of promise, the girl didn't want him to do more harm than good, not to himself. she owed it to him to at least offer her help, to make sure they could try safer alternatives.

             the landing of something behind him actually makes the ground beneath his feet shake. he can tell immediately who or rather what is now on the same rooftop with him. but it doesn’t scare him, not the way it probably should. ❝ jeez, you’re big. ❞ matt announces into the air between them before holding out the bag of shackburger to the lizard before him. ❝ i got some extra fries and a burger. just in case. normally i’m not one for fast food, too greasy, but this is surprisingly good. ❞ he can schmooze when he wants.

"Aninteresting way to think of it." Some days he'd thought aboutthe same thing; refusing to look back and keep his focus on the hereand now. Of course it didn't always work but some days he really didtry thinking like that. It just wasn't something he expected someoneelse to do. And definitely not someone like this kid. He'd knownthere was something off about him and during their conversations he'dtried to figure out just what that was. Unfortunately, Steve hadn'tbeen able to and he wondered if maybe once again it was worth tryingto get more information from him. Especially if it meant figuring outthe latest villain that was running about the city. Sooner or laterthey'd bring it down. He just wanted it to be sooner rather thanlater. "Wouldn't think someone like you would think like that.Not with your life in front of you."
