[ there's some part of her that wants to come at this optimistically, to come on the network and ask instead of going with what logic tells her, what she's learned about this place and how it works. as crazy as the Barge can be sometimes, there are some things that happen fairly often, frequently.
the meaning behind someone's room disappearing, for example.
so instead of the hopeful tone she might normally adopt at a time like this, to try and seem like she's Okay and she's Handling Things and she's only checking in about this to give people some reassurance, she sounds maybe a little tiny bit
definitely absolutely heartbroken ]
I know it's only been a few days since he left, and I know he said he'd be back, and I know this place likes to mess with us, but if Peter's room is gone, does that-
[ she pauses, swallows. she's got that same head-swimmy feeling that she got for a while when she was still getting used to Spider-Man being on the news, shown in these horrifying situations. saving people from a burning building, standing between an armed robber and their way out. it's that slow-drip feeling of dread that she's never going to see him again. which is dramatic, but that's what it is.
so no, she doesn't have to ask what that means ]
Peter Parker's room is gone.

My boyfriend.

He from your world, or...

[ she needs to stop trailing off, probably. half of her is trying to use this to keep her distracted from how head-swimmy she feels, the other half can't stop thinking about it for a second ]
He went to visit someone from another world though, so maybe- I don't know. [ a beat ] Needy went to Scott's world instead of her own when she graduated, maybe this is like that. Only Peter wouldn't have just left, for good, and tried to pass it off as something else.
It's confusing, that's all.
no subject
[That's... unsettling.]
I mean, maybe he just got sent home. The way the Barge does sometimes.
no subject
no subject
[For Mason's sake, mostly; she knows he absolutely adores Gwen.]
Maybe he's gonna come right back, and he thought you wouldn't even notice 'cause it'd be so quick? I don't know.
no subject
[ wow saying it out loud doesn't make it any better at all does it ]
It's good, that he went home. --Okay not good, but he has a life there that he spent a long time keeping on pause because of this place.

[ says the girl who went home and died a few months ago. ehhh. ]
Peter's smart, he wouldn't- put himself in danger in a world that isn't even his own. He was visiting someone, that's all.

[ she's trying not to get frustrated, but maybe her fuze is short today ]
no subject
Miracles - "deals" - always have a catch, even here. They hurt.
no subject
[ and Gwen's usually long fuze is considerably shorter when she's this worried ]
People leave to visit other worlds all the time, there's no consequence for that. He didn't go back home, he went to visit someone else who graduated already. His room disappearing doesn't mean he's dead, but it's still- it's still cause for concern because that means he might be stuck there.
no subject
[Arthas relents. Who knew he was capable?]
Which one, then?
no subject
But - I'm pretty sure he'll be okay, until you go back.
no subject
[ definitely just blurting that out because yeah maybe that's her biggest worry. of all the worries. so many worries ]
no subject
[Her brow furrows.] Maybe - if he's not home, when you leave the Barge, you could ask Iris to try and help you find him?
no subject
Here, come here.
no subject
Are you in your room?
no subject
no subject
He's just- gone. I knew he was leaving but this is different, this is- [ she stops herself ] It's different.
no subject
...Not like you won't see him again, 'course. Jus'...maybe not here.
no subject
It's not exactly like that, now. Peter's not dead. He's just....he's just gone, before Scott could come through. Before he could make sure that Peter didn't have to worry about Gwen ever again.
But here she is, telling him that he should have worried about Peter--
No. No, he's probably fine. He's either with James freaking Bond, or he's back home.
(That gives him the worst sinking feeling, the idea of Peter being home again, alone, no one to drag him out of his aunt's house or hang out with him or convince him that he doesn't have to blame himself forever.)
Scott tries to master this, but he's not always good at hiding his emotions. He remembers the last time Peter vanished.]
Maybe he'll come back, you know - sometimes that happens, even when their room is gone.
no subject
It's hard not knowing if he's where he intended to end up, or if he got sent home without warning. We had plans, we were going to fix things. None of that's happened yet.
