First of all, he was an idiot. Brainy wouldn’t have remembered his freakish display last night if he hadn’t said anything, and now there was no escaping. He had an out, and he blew it. God, he was so stupid. Matt would never do anything like that.
Secondly, how did he know it was him on the board? Peter wasn't the only one who knew about the attacks. And he'd spent a good half an hour making up a new handwriting style just to pester Grell with, so he couldn't have figured it out just by looking at the notes. (Unless he was one of those handwriting expert guys, too. Like if you cross your 't's diagonally you hate your parents and listen to Avenged Sevenfold.) Not to mention Brainy had never been exposed to his maximum potential of smart mouth, seeing as how most of their conversations ended in total emotional disaster. With that in mind, tacking waffles to the bulletin board should seem pretty out of character to the Peter that Brainy knew and didn't quite love. So how did…frick.
Play dumb, Parker. You’re actually kind of good at that.
“…Antagonizing Grell?” he repeated slowly, raising an eyebrow.
