Actually, that explains some things.

1/2

[mind_blown]

of all the things to have to deal with right now
this is by far the most annoying

2/2

[mind_blown]

yeah. that's him.
he doesn't know how we know each other, but he knows.
right now he thinks i'm a future version of himself so
mazel tov i guess

1/3

[webshoots]

[ LAUGHING SO HARD. ]

[webshoots]

I am SO sorry.

3/4 fuck

[webshoots]

For both of you.

[webshoots]

(I can say that, I HAVE met me.)

[mind_blown]

thank you for the check
anyway so i told him i was
that seemed like the better option
let's see how long it takes him to figure out

i'm sorry for all of these multiples (1/?)

[webshoots]

We're going to revisit that in just two seconds, but I just need to circle back round to your use of "future version of himself".

Future, not alternate.

i'd say i'll stop but that's a lie

[webshoots]

You're what, 20?

[webshoots]

Are you SURE he's that smart? Or does he think he'll go in for plastic surgery?

[webshoots]

How old is he? Because the guy I spoke to did not sound... well, he sounded precocious, but not possibly-middle schooler precocious.

D O N E

[webshoots]

Anyway, if you hadn't told him, where would we be? Just for curiosity's sake.

[ by 'we' he definitely means 'I', and by 'I', he definitely means 'so how have I ended up mixed up in this?' ]

[mind_blown]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[webshoots]

Thanks.

[mind_blown]

i think ur forgetting the part where i've only known him post batman phase

[webshoots]

[ that actually gives peter pause, because: sure. that's a valid point. how different was he pre- and post-spider bite? post-ben? post-gwen? ]

Is he that different?

[ quickly followed by: ]

Must be unsettling.

[ give the mentor-trainee dynamic jason had previously mentioned. ]

[mind_blown]

no, not in the ways that matter
and why would it be anymore unsettling than what it already is?

[webshoots]

It's a shift in dynamics, right?

He trained you, so he should know you, but he doesn't. All he knows is what he's managed to work out, and what you've given away. Told him, whichever.

So in some ways, here, you're the one with power.

...Would you prefer 'weird'?

[mind_blown]

honestly, weird's right. this whole thing is weird.
but i don't plan on giving anything else away.

and funny, that's what he said too. but this isn't exactly the kind of power i'd want normally.

i just don't want to deal with it.

[webshoots]

Right, right, that's why you're just Jason...

[mind_blown]

i guess that doesn't matter anymore, if bruce's already figured out we know each other.

[webshoots]

You weren't wrong when you said this was complicated.

[mind_blown]

yeah.
i guess it's only as complicated as it is because i don't want to deal with it
there's nothing that says i have to keep this a secret
or keep any secrets
but also that's all we've ever done and inevitably he'd want to know more
so

[webshoots]

I get it. It's a tough habit to break.
Hell, one time I shared something I didn't ever imagine I was going to share with anyone and I spent about 20 minutes in the bathroom afterwards.

Is he going to push this?
