[At this point in his..."career", Peter would like to say that there isn't a lot that would shock him. Considering his history he'd have every right to be jaded. His life is basically episodes of the Twilight Zone strung together with a huge budget tacked on for excessive CGI and ludicrous fight scenes.
Yet the universe always has another curveball to throw him. It's not the first time someone's popped out of the woodwork with some strange connection to him, but usually? Those guys were masked, and the reveal kinda explained it.
Peter can see this guy's face and there are zero bells ringing. Not a good sign. He's silent for a full five seconds, utterly immobile.]
What did you say?
[This was bad.
Not out in the open. They can't do this in the open, the building might be brick but there's a window right next to them and someone could already be pressed to the pane with their iPhone on record. So please don't have acid skin or weirdo mind melding powers, please don't be a hologram, and please don't be a vampire, Steampunk Stan.
With no warning, Peter snatches at the guy's collar and leaps. Up they go, whipping onto the lonely rooftop where Peter promptly chucks the guy to the floor. Roof. Whatever.
He's so sick of this crap coming up every freaking week.]
so says the protag whose creator designed him to be useless????
