ky tried to be early; this time, he was happy peter was late. with what he’d been doing with the spider, it forced him to change his plans, and take a few back routes to make sure he wasn’t being tracked. his suit was under his current clothes and his mask was in his pocket. maybe he’d actually tell peter the truth about what he did at night, but it was doubtful.

before ky even met peter, he’d never ware a mask at all. he’d show his face proudly and even more often than usual. sometimes even in his true form… all for the show of it all.  since meeting peter… things had changed. he went out only when it was necessary and even made a suit for himself. something that would strike fear in most and keep his reputation up.

however, at hearing peter was jumped… all thoughts about what he did for amusement   vanished from his mind. it just wasn’t the right time. never would be with the way things were turning out, but he would deal with whatever came in stride. 

“you could have called me you know.” actually, ky wouldn’t have answered if he did, but it was the thought that truly  counted in his mind. “maybe i could have been your knight in dark armor to save the day.” or, most likely just make things worse. 

“— at least you’re still in one piece.”  even if ky couldn’t say the same for the  spider he had fought earlier. “so, that is a plus – i thought for a moment or two you got lost, but i  wasn’t worried.” a lie, he would have been worried, but nothing a few dozen drinks wouldn’t cure. or even finishing off the spider, but that was another story entirely.
