yougetupSummer 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.

"Now, if it could see fit to provide a spare or two for both of us, that would also be a great peace-offering," she said, pitching her voice to the ceiling. That was mostly a joke, she didn't think anyone was actually listening, because she'd swept the apartment for bugs multiple times. But there was tabs-keeping, or some sort, so who knew. She just hoped it wasn't some kind of creepy remote viewing.

We're going to have to figure out how to get replacements made pretty soon," he says, because it doesn't happen often, and he really hopes that nothing crazy dangerous ends up in Darrow, but he's banged up a suit or two so badly that he wasn't able to wear them again.
