It's official: his life sucked.

Not that this was a revelation, particularly. His life had sucked, officially, for a good while now. But this kinda took the cake. Because even when the Bugle was blaming him for every that happened in New York City and when super villains were beating the crap out of him, he had least knew where the hell he was.

Right now, he definitely did not know where he was. Not New York, that's for sure.

Quaint little homes, sleepy suburbs, and not a skyscraper in sight. (Oh God, he was going to have to walk everywhere here, wasn't he? If he had to get mysteriously transported away to Who Knows Where, couldn't he at least have something to swing off of?)

But even if he really, really wanted to swing up somewhere high to get his bearings, Peter resisted the urge to put on the suit. At least as his own, very confused self, he could easily blend in while he figured out what was going on. Being Spider-man would just get him stared at. And possibly a few rocks thrown at him.

"Uh, hello?" He said, shuffling up to a nearby policewoman. (Man, it was cold here. Why couldn't he have been mysteriously transported somewhere warm?) "Hi? Um, sorry, but I am like, seriously lost and I...hello? Hello?"

The policewoman ignored him completely. And okay, it was a step up from the usual reaction of 'Let's shoot Spider-man even though he is clearly trying to help', but come on!

"Hello! I...hey!" The policewoman had spun around, striding purposefully away from him towards some idiot kid who'd had the bright idea of trying to spray-paint his name on the side of a corner shop. "What am I, a leper? Jeez..."

He tried asking the next passerby, but he just kept on walking without a glance at Peter. Same with the next one. And the one after that. And the one after that. Man, and to think he'd thought that New Yorkers had a monopoly on being rude. Fed up, he stepped right in front of the next person - if they weren't going to stop, then he was damn well going to get in their way, and...

...And they walked right through him.

For a moment Peter didn't move - he just stood there, shocked. "Oh no," he said. "Oh no, this can't...this can't be happening. I...Kitty? Kitty is this you? Oh man, please let this be you...and if it is you can you please stop because I am freaking out here..."

Thankfully for Peter, he wasn't going to be left on his own for very long. Once Manny had let them know about a new arrival, Red had suited up and grabbed Sandy and a couple snowglobes (given to Sandy because Red didn't want to risk anything going weird when she tried to use them) before heading out to collect the newbie.

Unfortunately, they didn't come out on the same street, so it was a few minutes before they turned a corner and Red spotted the kid who had to be their new arrival. Arrived before anything dangerous showed up, even, which was good. Probably wasn't going to last, but good.

She chimed softly and pointed to Peter, so she could be sure Sandy saw him too.

Hopefully the giant USB sword she was dragging wouldn't freak him out. Or the fact that they're about to tell him he's become a myth and they have to save the multiverse. Actually, now that she thought about it, a lot could go wrong, she probably should've brought Jack or Kon or Mikey or someone.

Ah well. Too late now...
