Oh ... so much for hoping someone just decided not to keep his belly tucked in any longer in a superhero costume.
[Peter's used to death. Not his, but others. He's used to being aware that people die, but this whole "other people step in" thing is not something he's used to. He's fairly certain there's a new Black Widow, but that's probably because Black Widow isn't exactly a typical superhero.]
Annnnd that makes sense! I mean, it's way better than being bitten by a spider that happened to be genetically modified. [He puts up a hand before Jaime can speak, just in case he's going to give an incredulous answer.] And yes, that is what happened. I was bitten. By a spider. I wish it was a neater origin story, but alas.
