Mar. 2nd, 2016 07:53 pmMiles has never tried to take a cat for a walk before, but now he's realizing there's a reason people don't do it that often.
He's felt bad that Snowflake is mostly an inside cat. They live in an apartment, and he and Jess are barely home these days-- he's got school and Spider-Man stuff, she's got Spider-Woman stuff and Freeze-lady girlfriend stuff-- so the cat's on her own a lot of the time too.
So Miles had gotten the idea to buy a harness and try to take his cat, Snowflake for a walk.
Getting her into it had been one battle, and he's got scratches all over his arms from it. Getting her to actually walk is something else.
Standing outside of The Bramford Building, he's holding Snowflake's leash, but the cat has defiantly flattened herself against the sidewalk, refusing to move at all.
"Oh, come on, you're always meowing at the door like you wanna go out," Miles says, "Now we're out."
In response, Snowflake just looks up at Miles pathetically.
I wonder if I can get my money back for the harness if it's already got cat hair on it.

You'd think that bank robbers would take a break.
It's early, and Miles is headed to school, his backpack thrown over one shoulder when he passes the bank and sees three guys in masks run out with bags full of cash.
You guys can't even wait until lunch time? So uncool.

Jul. 7th, 2014 04:08 pmMiles thinks that maybe summer school wouldn't suck so much if it wasn't in Darrow.
Of course, he wouldn't even have to go to summer school in the first place if he hadn't been sucked out of his own dimension in the middle of the school year, but at least it'd all be more bearable if Ganke was around. Or maybe it'd just be more difficult to actually get some studying done, because he has a feeling Ganke would be asking him a million questions about Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy and about that other Spider-Guy who just seems to hate him for no reason.
I really hope I don't run into that guy again tonight. I don't need somebody else telling me that I suck at this right now. I've already got a pretty good idea.
That's what happens when you take a year off, though.
First, he's got an entire chapter full of math problems to solve for tomorrow, and Miles finds himself in the library after school, trying to make sense of pre-calculus that he should have down by now. It definitely doesn't help that he was out late the night before as Spider-Man, and that he's been tired all day.
Or that the library is quiet and cool.
Before he knows it, he's nodding off, and doesn't even realize it until his head tilts forward and slams into the table in front of him with a loud BANG that echoes through the library.

you fall off a horse, you get back on.
Jun. 3rd, 2014 12:32 amSummer school pretty much sucks.
Okay, so it's cool that they're letting him do it so that he can catch up and start high school in the fall, but not having a summer vacation is pretty crappy, even if he doesn't know what he'd do with one this year anyway. Ganke's not around to hang out with-- Miles never thought he'd miss Legos so much-- and Darrow television is pretty horrible.
He can think of a thing or two that he would spend his time doing, but he hasn't been able to bring himself to put on the Superpower Guy costume again. Not after the first time. It'd been kind of a disaster, all around.
Why would anyone ever wear a cape anyway? How are you supposed to do anything? Maybe that's why none of the Ultimates wear one. Maybe it'd be cool for flying, though.
Man, why don't spiders fly? There's got to be a spider that can fly. I could have spider-flying powers.
So since then, Miles hasn't been up to as much as he'd like. but every once in a while, he hears about something on the news or has to stop himself from wall crawling to go chasing sirens in the distance, and hates that he doesn't feel like Spider-Man anymore.
He should be out helping people, not doing practice questions from his Pre-Calculus book.
Though, he's really rusty with his math, and he really needs to pass a test on Friday.
He's sitting on the floor of the living room, math book on the coffee table while he tries to make his way through chapter three, which is all polynomial functions, and he doesn't think they got that far back at Visions Academy. Or maybe they did, and he just doesn't remember it. That was a pretty rough year.
It's not until he gets to the fifth problem that he realizes he's left his graph paper in his backpack in his bedroom, and heads in there for it, wishing that he just had the money for a graphing calculator instead. Maybe he could even put Tetris on it.
It's on the table when he comes back.
Just like right before he ended up in Darrow, there's a silver case just sat there. This time, at least, he knows what's inside. He's not scared of what's inside. Miles knows now that he has to be Spider-Man, and it seems like somebody else does too.
"Jessica?" Miles calls, though he's pretty sure she didn't have anything to do with this. Not this time.
