"Peter, I've already advised against this", Karen scolds from her computer on Peter's desk, said teen pacing back and forth in his room. "But, then what am I missing?". He groans, throwing a pen at the suit hanging on his door. "Spider-Man's no longer wanted, the avengers are protecting him, even Mr Stark and Ms Nat apologised! So why does that mask still scare me!".
Karen's screen lights up with her voice, "Maybe stop for today Peter, we can try again tomorrow", she tries to distract. "Maybe you can start with your Spider-Man phone, it's gotten dozens texts". He'd stored it away after the video, wanting to avoid memories of those days, hid it. "The phone!", Peter yelps, jumping for the lowest drawer on his desk, digging through loose papers until he pulls out the Spider-man themed phone. "Omg! How many missed texts are in here?", He whines scrolling through his messages, every single conversation marked with the 'unread' notification.
"Over a thousand", she supplies.
Peter scrolls down the seemingly endless set, "Kam, Kara, Jon, Evelyn, Amaya, Rio" He lists, only a few of the text chains, which also included over a dozen cops like Ms Diaz. As he read, Karen commented, "Ms Shuri is responsible for over a quarter of them, at 350 unread messages". Pete's eyes widen further, searching for her in his messages, scrolling through every single one.
There were 3 common trends to her texts. First, worried messages asking if Spidey was ok, often aligned with new developments around the Avengers or the news. Second, there were threats, mostly at the avengers with description Peter will never repeat, and a few at him for not responding. Finally, random banter and brainstorming, in hope of luring him back.
