are your powers acting weird?
weirder than normal i mean

Maybeeee just a little bit.
What are you experiencing?

[Because his are... acting... poorly...]

my hearing is kind of
not as good as normal
im having trouble sticking to things
and you know that thing where we can sense trouble
i dont think its working anymore

[not that he's an expert at using it in the first place. and no, he refuses to call it his peter tingle tyvm]

Yeah, Spidey Sense has been acting... not so Sensey.
And I'm definitely not as sticky a spider-guy as usual.
Must uh

be some new... thing. Whatever the town's doing.
Other than trying to melt us where we're standing.

[spidey sense sounds way better. why couldn't he have just gone with that??]

so its not just me then
has it happened to you before?

Ooooh, yeah, this isn't Deerington's first rodeo.
Of messing up powers, anyway.
I'm sure it'll all go back to normal with some time.

Just uh.
Be careful sticking to tall buildings?
Maybe try not to pick up a car and hold it directly over your head, huh?

spidermans benched for now
no buildings
no cars
no anything

how long did it take last time?
for everything to come back

And no benches, either. :P
As in, you can sit on them, not hold them over your head.

Honestly, it lasted a few weeks.
Things here love to last a few weeks.
I have a feeling everyone else'll start getting weirdly impacted, too. :/

[is this how criminals feel when he's cracking jokes??]

so i guess that means theres no way to fix it quicker

i dont like this
theres people here i need to protect and i cant do that like this

[Yes, Peter, yes it is.]

Tragically, we'll probably have to just ride this one out.
You've still got your webshooters, right? Remember, those are pretty damn useful.
We're not completely cut off from what we can use.

theyre not much use right now
theyre set up for spiderstrength?
whatever you call it
and i cant recalibrate them with one hand

Hey, that's defeatist!
Just because you can't use 'em to swing around doesn't mean they're not useful elsewhere.
You ever work on any extra gadgets for your web fluid?

no i mean
i literally cant use them right now
id have to jump on one of them to get it to work

mr stark gave karen like
526 combinations
but i only made my original webshooters
nothing else

Oh
geez.

That's a bummer.

I could try to throw something together for you?
I have some web bombs that I keep for emergency.

could you show me how you make them instead?

not that im saying i dont trust yours or anything
but ive not really tried doing something like that before
not on purpose

Absolutely. I'd be more than happy to show you how to make 'em.
I've got a workshop in the basement, if you wanna stop by!
Lots to tinker with, and all that.
