Ok fair. Maybe just Captain, to keep it real ambiguous.

What's Doctor Strange like in real life? Is he nice, or...?

[And if that sounds like small talk, it is. Steven's just trying to keep himself distracted from other things.]

We'll name him, Captain Bad Ideas. Everyone would love that.

He's kinda cranky actually? Like, we didn't talk a lot mind you, but he was really focused on stopping Thanos. He did this thing where he saw every possibility that could ever happen. It was freaky to look at honestly. Like freaky and cool.

I think he like has a fake goatee, but Ned insists its real.

[Peter is happy to indulge in small talk.]

Hang on, he saw every possibility? Every outcome? Wouldn't those have been infinite? On account of the butterfly effect? If you stack those butterfly effects on top of one another there'd be billions and billions of branching options.

If he has magic, why would he have a fake goatee? Couldn't he use magic to grow a real one?

Or just grow a real one because human beings can do that?

Apparently?? I dunno how he did that in the two minutes I saw him do the hand thingy. Like every outcome sucked worse than us dying for five years, so he went with that one? I dunno, I'd try to find the one option that sucked less??

It kinda looked drawn on, that's all I'm saying. Maybe there are magic rules against hair growth.

Well, I'm sure he knew what he was doing when he made that choice. He is the Ultimate Sorceror, isn't he?

[He's misremembering the term Sorcerer Supreme, rip.]

Drawn on, huh? Maybe he has some sort of magical 2D goatee. It transcends time and space.

[Peter will not inform Steven either.]

Yeah, he is. He also kinda made that choice without consulting us. So, sometimes I get a little frustrated about that fight. Probably dumb on my part ngl.

Oh my god. I hope so.

Sounds like a good reason to get frustrated, honestly. Even if he knew what he was doing, allowing half the universe to get rubbed out for five years should be more of a team decision.

Anyway, is there anything else I missed in these last few weeks I should know about? New team members? New cases? I read something about a museum heist.

It was kinda framed like the only option. It wasn't really great. I know I shouldn't really complain tbh.

Honestly, its mostly been people trying to recover and deal with what happened.

Oh... So no juicy crime to sink our teeth into?

[He was kind of hoping for a distraction. And a means to do some good, because he sure is feeling useless right now.]

About the usual stuff. Maybe an uptick of pick pocketing in a certain neigborhood. That should be easy enough to scope out.

[He feels disappointed, up until he realizes how horrible it is to be disappointed about that. Then he just feels bad.]

Well that's good, right? That there's not more crime than that, I mean. That's what we want.

Go team!

Its really good, also really makes things harder sometimes?

Its super selfish to say, but when there isn't a lot to do I feel kinda fidgety about it.

[Surprise, Steven, you are not alone!]

[OH GOOD, they're both super selfish then.]

Nah, I get it. I suppose we'll just have to do good by helping old ladies cross the street, or carrying groceries for someone. Maybe walk someone's dog, I don't know.

I'd suggest opening a tight pickle jar, but I still struggle with those myself sometimes. Don't want to look like a weak numpty in front of Bavan's citizens. That can't be good for W.E.B.'s reputation, can it?

Yeah, that is what W.E.B. is for too. Just helping people who need help. Even if it's not glamorous or cool stuff.

I mean, it's not any worse than what people back home think of Spider-Man anyway. Make people think I'm human at least opposed to a pooka.
