PARKER.

Hell no. He'll probably just watch a movie or something and call it a day. Maybe an existential crisis.

<— Birthday boy.

"Alien suits don't make you evil."

Never has anyone expressed such excitement to marry him before.

(The answer is yes.)

I'm not saying it's okay. I've exposed him plenty and that's why he's, like, only a 10% rich of what he used to be. If you wanna fight injustice, Wilson Fisk is right there.

And it's not forgiven. I'm just not as hateful as he is.
I don't know, maybe I'm a fool.

Hey, me too!

Nah, don't bother. Gargan's behind bars and Jameson has mellowed out some. No need to stir the pot. . . yet.

You can kiss me if you'd like, though.

Oh, he had plausible deniability despite it being his money. Threw everybody under the bus and since it happened so long ago, people no longer care.

I still haven't quite forgiven him for that. Him and his stupid mustache.

Jonah's pretty loaded. Plus, he had help from Smythe, I think. I wasn't there to oversee the creation of a man-scorpion.

It's crazy what money can buy you. If only it'd been put to good use. . .

No.

Jonah funded him, Gargan volunteered. He wanted to create the perfect anti-me.

Imagine having such a hate boner for me you'll give enhancements to a psycho so that he can kill me, and the psycho still loses!

— for?"

She's not the only one baring her heart here. No use in voting for a man who'll be dead soon, anyways.

"Yeah, well, that me sounds like an asshole. Get used to me joking with you."

Not as recent as she'd think. By now, Mayday would be five years old. Still, nobody ever truly gets over the loss of a child, let alone Peter. So this, this hits him hard, even if it wasn't April whom he directly lost.

"Fisk, the Fisk who got my aunt killed? That's the man you're gonna vote —

Pffft, you've got no idea. Do you know how Scorpion came to be?

So, my parents died when I was seven.

They came back when I was, like. . . fuck, twenty-five? But, turns out, it wasn't really them. They were robots. It was a whole thing, Venom kidnapped them.

My life's a shitfest, Jess.

You want the long story or the short version?

Oh, and my robot parents, too.

Yeah, I didn't tell you about that one.

You give me that look like I'm not right.

Welcome to my life.

Please don't leave me.

Yeah, but that's why the ladies love me.

— not getting a little bit teary-eyed.

The multiverse is cruel, yet beautiful.

"Yeah, dinner sounds good. You're still not voting for Fisk." The mention of his name alone makes him rightfully angry. "Sorry about the roast, by the way." A pause. ". . . I can't believe you fell for that joke."

He shouldn't even get this emotional over it. It's not like she's Mayday; she's her own person, just like Ben and Kaine are not himself. Furthermore, she's not even from this dimension, if he got things right.

And yet, there he is. It's an emotional rollercoaster and Peter's having a hard time —

It never ends.

I've got two clone/brothers, actually.

Yeah, runs in the family. You should meet my brother. He's my clone.

— Hands on her shoulders, looking at her with glassy eyes. A deep breath, and he wipes the building tears off with a sleeve. )

. . . You're grounded for wanting to vote for Fisk, by the way.
