Dude, it's fine. I don't expect you to give me your life story right off the bat.
[Peter smiles and gives Ben a little shrug. He totally gets it, man. There's a lot of real heavy shit that he's not ready to share yet, things that he hasn't even told his best friends. Sometimes you just gotta keep shit close.
And technically the footage of him on Youtube had been something of a try-out? Kind of? It's complicated.]
Oh, yeah, totally. I actually did turn him down at first. There was this whole thing with this guy who was trying to steal dangerous like, tech and weapons and stuff from the Avengers, and like, I stopped him on my own, right? So after that Stark comes up to me all "hey, ready to make this Avengers thing official"? But... I mean, it was kind of a lot. I was still only fifteen, and there was school to worry about? So I was like "nah, y'know, I'm not ready just yet", and that was it. I joined later. Technically. There was this thing with aliens.
