    Summary

    The platform creaked under Hobie’s weight as he shifted to reach further, conjuring images of thin metal giving way and dropping its occupant out into open air.

    The idea never bothered him as much as it should’ve. He thought of the plummet, of air buffeting his skin, of his stomach flipping and adrenaline pumping. The fall wouldn’t hurt him. Not if he never landed. Tumbling back from his high-rise perch, arms spread wide as if in stage dive. The city would catch him. He knew the thought was irrational, nonsensical, but that didn’t matter to someone young and invincible. Hobie pictured a crowd of hands reaching up to meet him, to guide him home, drawing him down into the rumble and chatter and uncomfortable sweaty heat of humans pressed too close like tinned sardines.

    No, the height was never what scared him. It was the distance.

    --

    Months ago, in the halls of spider society, Hobie saw a version of himself who turned to a life of villainy. Now after everything that's happened, he just can't stop himself from circling someone else wielding the same title back on Earth-42.
