This is a voicemail post until I actually get around to making it pretty.

[And it was his own turn for a lapse into silence, as he gauged whether or not he believed that.

Conclusion? He didn't think he did.]

Look, I... didn't think you'd be, if it was just some mix-up accident, just this place's usual up-to-no good.

But with this, and what you told me about Jason...

[He trailed.]

Hey, I'm not good at this. I'm probably a jerk for not saying something sooner. I just didn't know if you'd wanna hear it; it's not fair, after what you've already gone through.

Peter...

[She sighed a little, and tried to gather her thoughts.]

I've given up on worrying about things being fair... There's no such thing. You told me-- and I... I'm glad that you did.

[But it scares her, thinking something like this could happen again here.]

[A nod, though she can't see it, and he's a little bit relieved that she doesn't sound actually pissed.]

...So we're still good, right? Because, ah. I'd um, like that.

Yeah. We're still good. It's not like you meant to...

[You know...]

No. No, I totally didn't mean to. Or want to.

Then that's settled.

[For now.]

Yeah?

Really?

[Don't pull a Girl on him now. He'll take your word for it if you say so.]

Really.

[She doesn't know how to pull a Girl.]

I trust you, Peter.

[For whatever reason.]

[That's... that's pretty nice to hear, actually.]

Thanks, Godgirl.

No problem... [A pause.] Superhero.

[That earns a chuckle on the other end, and he relaxes.]

So... see you soon? We should do something, or something.

[Eloquence, as usual.]

How does something sound?

[See? She really can joke around too. She laughs lightly.]

Yes, please.

Sounds like it could... really be something?

Heh, okay. Just say when, and I'll come pick you up.

Well, I'm not busy today. At all.

I'll have to check with my scheduler, but today sounds good.

No plans of superheroing today? Glad I can fit in your busy save-the-day schedule.

[But she is teasing, it doesn't hold any actual venom.]

Well, I didn't say I could fit you into my day.

How's tonight?

I guess I'm available tonight.
