Trash or Treasure?
Someone's made a bit of a mess in a little out of the way corner of the main drag of the plaza. An entire picnic table has been taken up with electronic bits and bobs that sit in stacks that don't seem to make much sense to a passer by, but definitely seem as though they were organized in some manner by whoever gathered all of this junk. In front of the table a cardboard box is stuffed to the brim with wires and cords of every kind.
HDMI? USB? A weird curly cord with a plug shaped like an octopus? It's all here and then some. It's hard to know if someone's organizing a donation to a local recycling center or setting up the multiverse's strangest tech themed garage sale.
Eventually Peter shows up (don't ask where he showed up from, the kid has a habit of dropping in when you least expect it) dragging a beat up toolbox over to the table so he can start poking around at his findings. He'd thought there'd been one back at the clubhouse and was very pleased it hadn't grown legs and walked off since the last time he'd checked.
Anyone who wanders close enough to inspect or greet him gets met with the same dirt streaked grinning face.
"Hey, can you hand me that screwdriver just over there?"

"I am, actually. Cloned from one hero, by one evil witch, at that. Sounds like a fairytale, huh? I wish. Unfortunately, it's true."
"Don't worry about it, I say too much sometimes. So, back to cows... where were we? Ah, yes. Lance, the Blue Paladin. He could become a great farmer if he wanted to!"

God, what if someone went around trying to clone heroes of Peter's world? What if--stop that thought there Parker. They're gone and fixating isn't going to bring them back. His chest hurts slightly.
"Oh. Uhm. A space farmer, right?" He's trying to take cues at least.

"Oh. It probably sounds crazy to you, a normal kid, huh? I'm sorry. But, it's true."
Huh...?
"What's wrong? Is it something I've said??"
The boy suddenly seems so upset. Reminding him of his own teenagers in Team Voltron. Of other Paladins, that is.
"I've said too much, haven't I? Sorry. Not a nice topic, I know. Forget it."
