Peter can feel his cheeks warm at that mishap comment. How could he have known something like that was there? What the hell was it doing there in the first place? Well, that doesn't matter. Eventually, it got sorted. The weird Nexus stuff isn't his fault but that sure was. All of it combined isn't painting metas in a favourable light.
Peter looks down at his phone again, the codex there. Following the law, right. Technically Spider-Man breaks the law all the time. Technically Spider-Man uses his powers to hurt people, but only bad guys! The moral back and forth here is enough to make him dizzy.
What would May do, he thinks? May wouldn't approve of this whole villain thing.
Spider-Man is always going to be a hero, but…what about the technomancy thing? Spider-Man doesn't openly use it, but Peter does. Could he hide his hero identity behind a different identity?
What a stupid ass idea, he thinks, but that doesn't mean he won't do it.
He looks back up at that whole emoji display, eyes wide. Jesus, was that a joke? It was probably not a joke. But he read the rules, and he wouldn't break them. He sure doesn't want to have to fight this guy and whoever else enforces that, though. Jeez.
Truly free sounds like propaganda, but Peter isn't dumb enough to say that. Some of what the Alliance says sounds like propaganda too.
"Is it forever? Like…what if I decide I don't wanna be a member anymore?"
Mechanima is doing…something else, talking to someone about something. How does this man focus on so much at once, all the input? Man. He really does want to ask those 800 tech questions, but hopefully he'll get some other chance to do that. For now, though.
"They killed his parents," Peter says, frowning. "I don't know who they are and I don't know precisely who Eclipse is, but…I can't let it go."
Maybe he's projecting a little bit, a teenager who got caught up in things and ended up with everyone hating him. Peter hadn't died, somehow, but a lot of other people did. And now his whole world doesn't remember him. Starstruck wasn't a villain, but he's still painted as one.
