Let's measure our.... Egos (closed to Peter)

[st_x5_494]

Peter was the one who wanted this fight. Alec would totally use this as his excuse even though, yes, he was technically the adult and sure, he could say no to the whole thing. But the kid needed to learn he didn't know everything and that there were plenty of people here who could help him get better. The kid needed to learn to stop hiding behind the 'I'm a superhero so therefore I can do everything' and learn help is... Helpful.

And, okay, yes. Alec wanted to win, too.

So Alec stood in the parking lot at the allotted time demanded by the 15 year-old Spiderman and waited casually with his hands in his pockets, though he was keenly aware of his surroundings in case the kid wanted to start off with a big surprise.

Alec paused for just another split second - it was hard not to feel a little anxious, even with Peter, after spending such a long time hiding it from everyone.

"One photo." Which was his affirmative on the subject.

"Got it," Peter says, taking a step back to scan over the barcode. He's still not entirely sure how he's supposed to figure this out -- but it'd at least be something else to do for the next couple of days.

Aside from figure out a new handshake.

It felt dangerously wrong to let Peter take a photo and Max was in his head scolding him, reminding him if he's the reason this kid gets killed he's going to have a hard time living that down.

"We good?"

[st_arkintern]

"Yeah," Peter says. "We good."

Peter offers Alec a hand to shake normally.

Alec took it with a firm shake. "See you around."

Then Alec turned and left with the slightest of smiles on his lips.
