"Yeah. Funny how most good ideas are like that," Peter said quietly. "Guess I'll just stick with Cap and the gang for now. Still, I'd like to meet him. Just to see what he's all about."

The punch in the arm was unexpected. Peter stared at the older man for a few moments, blinking quizzically, before a bashful grin sneaked onto his face. This Matt treated him like he was an old pal. It was really...kind of cool. Most adults (especially other heroes), just sort of shoved Peter to the side, told him to grow up or get out. But Steve had been a lot nicer than he'd expected, and Matt was a complete one-eighty from the guy he knew back home. Despite how crappy things were with Harry and Brainy, he couldn't help but smile.

"Totally. You can't be a hero without busting out some Sherlock Holmes now and then." Peter leaned back on his hands, distantly watching a pair of figures volley a ball back and forth. "Is that why you became a lawyer? To investigate people?"
