Peter squints at May, and can see her displeasure plain enough as he feels his own at the sudden lack of powers. And given the weather outside it couldn’t have come at a worse time. And of course the communicators aren’t working, not that he really expects anyone to happen to have a spare pair of glasses hanging around in his exact prescription.

“We gotta gear up, Kid,” he sighs, packing up a diaper bag as Mayday dramatically pulls her hat down over her eyes.

They only make it a little ways down the hall before Peter spots someone, and when he catches up to Richie he makes a grab for his glasses without explaining, exchanging them for the child. He tries them on before huffing. “No,” he sighs, removing them and placing them back on Richie’s face. “…also, hello. Good to meet you. All that,” he adds belatedly, "Is your...everything all out of whack too?"

I FORGOT SORRY!

Richie is pretty much used to this shit at this point. Another storm? Yeah. Pass. He's beyond over this. He's going to camp out and wait it out and let everyone else go and be heroes if they want. He's getting old. Which...apparently he's not the only one of a certain age, given who is coming toward him.

Richie is barely able to say a word before he has a baby and no glasses. They're back quickly but the whole thing is so completely baffling he can't do much but blink a second. When he recovers, he finally drops his hands down to his sides again.

"Uh. Yeah. Um. My....everything?" He realizes what he probably means a second too late. "Oh. Powers or whatever? I don't have any of those, but yeah that happens."

"Right. That's not...good." Peter frowns, trying to suck in his gut which suddenly seems o be rounder than before.

"How are you with kids?" he asks abruptly, and Mayday gives him a look. "I gotta go...do a thing. Do you think you could watch her? Just for a sec?"

Richie looks at the kid and then at Peter. Then at the kid. "Uh. Do you want to know if I'm a murderer or something first? Or my name?" He's already holding his hands out for her, though. He's babysat before. It's no big deal.

Oh right. No Spider-Sense. Peter hesitates, giving Richie a once over before handing him the baby.

"Uh-...yes. All of that. Yep. Emphasis on the murderer thing," he agrees with a nod.

Richie takes the baby and makes a silly face at her before cradling her close. "Richie Tozier. Not a murderer. Well..." He makes a 'so-so' motion with his hand. "I did kill one person but he was trying to kill my friend so I think that's okay? I also threw up right after so, yeah. Not like a hardened criminal over here."
