the office worker meets the gazes of both spider-heroes and, rightfully so, stares in shock. they get up from their desk, for what pete can only assume is to beckon their coworkers. it's a shame really that both spider-man and lovebug are already gone by the time it happens. then again, it's a little fun for him this way.
"yeah, i'm-" he gives her a small thumbs up, and a nod he hopes is assuring. it really isn't unlike a simple fall to him. he's slammed into buildings, cars, pillars, what have you, and that was by far low stakes. he doubts he's within 90 degrees of a bruise from the incident. "you don't have to worry about me." giving andie's head a little playful push, "i'm not nearly as helpless as you think."
andie means well with her concern, he's sure of it, but peter's always going to brush it off, wave a hand, and especially when it comes to her. his job is to worry-- hers is to pay attention to all that he's trying to show her. "now where were we?" spinning around, he catches sight of the building in question from the conversation they'd started well before his reference or his faceplant. point out towards it, "there!"
his head tilts down towards andie, and although he's masked it's obvious that he's grinning. "best place for a view of the whole parade."
from what recess of her brain andie pulled the quote, she honestly couldn't tell you. jurassic park probably isn't even in her top 10 movies. she watched it a handful of times with her dad, but not recently. and she certainly didn't think she ever paid enough attention to retain any quotes from it. but spider-man had jogged some memory or overturned some rock in her brain that revealed the quote to her.
anyway, she doesn't get a chance to answer him because spider-man crashed into the glass in front of them. andie, not as distracted as her spider-themed cohort, is able to brace in time and lands neatly against the glass above him.
by the time she lands they've shaken it off and are finishing their earlier question. so she also gives a little wave to the office-worker, and tries not to fret too much.
slamming into the side of a building is something they all do on occasion (they being spider people, or similarly adjacent heroes). andie is especially prone to it while texting, which she's not too embarrassed to admit because swinging is a very delicate and hard process and sometimes it's necessary to also be texting, as inconvenient as it may be. so fretting really won't do any good considering it's likely spider-man is 100% a-okay.
following spider-man's lead she shoots a web up to the roof. "i honestly couldn't tell you. i don't even know the last time i saw the movie." she scrutinizes him "you are okay, right?"
okay, so she's always gonna fret a little.

❝ I think it costs more than your life. ❞
❝ No, It’s not your place. You’re a welcome guest, but you’re out of your depth down here. ❞

❝ Take a deep breath, [Name]. It’s gonna be a long night. ❞

❝ We need to unite these people out there that have been doing nothing but killing each other in an arena for years. ❞

❝ [Name] was the one who was supposed to live! ❞
❝ The Capitol has always suppressed communication between the Districts, but I know their system very well… and I managed to break through. ❞
❝ You could demand almost anything, they’d have to agree to it. ❞
❝ They’re doing and saying whatever they can to survive. ❞
❝ This is worth the risk. She’s worth the risk. ❞
❝ Aiding rebels is not really my forte. ❞
❝ A lot of the children were lost in an epidemic a few years ago. ❞
❝ [Name]? - What are you doing here? ❞
❝ He knew the risks, as we all do. He believed in this revolution. He believed in you. ❞
❝ The Capitol’s done everything they can to break us. ❞
❝ Everyone’s either gonna wanna kiss you, kill you, or be you. ❞
❝ You will hold yourself and your government responsible or you will find another Mockingjay. ❞
❝ I’ve told you these are the standard living quarters, same as everyone. You’re not a prisoner. ❞
❝ [Name], your days in the Capitol are over, no matter what happens here. ❞
❝ This how you greet an old friend? ❞
❝ We have a mass grave a few blocks west, but, I can’t spare the manpower to move them yet. ❞
❝ And look here. Regular, incendiary and explosive arrows. All colour-coded. ❞

❝ Incoming bombers from the North. We need to find cover now! ❞
❝ The Capitol just bombed a hospital filled with unarmed men, women and children. And there will be no survivors.❞
❝ The things that you did in the Games were never intended to start all of this. ❞
❝ You don’t have any idea what he’s going through. ❞
❝ Nobody’s seen what the Capitol did to District 12. I have to show them. ❞
❝ 915 of us made it to the fence line. 915 out of 10,000. ❞
❝ Don’t be a fool, [Name]. I know you never wanted the rebellion. ❞
❝ This has gotta be fast. In and out. ❞
❝ There is no progress without compromise, and no victory without sacrifice. ❞
❝ I’ve got good news. Coin agreed to let us hunt above ground. ❞
❝ I wish I could give this rose to you, [Name]. ❞
❝ You must love her very much to be able to forgive her. ❞

❝ You’ve just been in battle!! ❞
❝ If you wanna play a prisoner of war, fine. Stay here and rot. ❞
❝ There’s not much of a prep team here in District 13 but we will make you the best-dressed rebel in history. ❞
❝ He’s an Avox… Capitol cut his tongue out years ago. ❞
❝ No, it wasn’t any sort of rescue, if that’s what you mean. We all fled on our own. ❞
❝ You’re alive then? For a while we weren’t sure. ❞
❝ If you think for one second that the Capitol will ever treat us fairly you are lying to yourselves. ❞
❝ Ask yourself, can you trust the people you’re working with? Do you know what they really want? ❞
❝ How will this end? What will be left? No one can survive this. No one is safe now. ❞
❝ We started pulling people from their houses and tried to get them to the fence line but a lot of people were scared of the forest. ❞
❝ Then we watched as… bombers circled back towards the road. The Capitol firebombed them as they ran away. ❞
❝ After your first Games, I thought the whole romance was an act. ❞
❝ Are you, are you coming to the tree? They strung up a man they say who murdered three. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be… If we met at midnight in the hanging tree. ❞
❝ [Name], you’re wanted in Command. ❞
❝ It’s the worst torture in the world. Waiting, when you know there’s nothing you can do. ❞

❝ You can survive the arena. But the moment you leave, you’re a slave. ❞
❝ His weapon of choice is the only thing suited to such a man. Poison. The perfect weapon for a snake. ❞

❝ The gas we used on the guards knocked him out, too, but it’s wearing off now. You should be there when he wakes up. ❞
❝ No, no, no. Calm down. Calm down… you’re okay. ❞
❝ It’s called hijacking… It’s fear conditioning, enhanced with tracker jacker venom. You were stung your first Games, remember? ❞
❝ I designed this signal defence system for them, but I can’t find my way through it. I guess I did my job too well. ❞
❝ [Name]’s okay. I promise. I just had to get him off you. ❞
❝ You love him. I’m not saying in what way; maybe you don’t even know yourself, but anyone paying attention can see it. ❞
❝ I drag myself out of nightmares and there’s no relief in waking up. But… it’s better not to give in to it. It takes 10 times longer to put yourself back together than it does to fall apart. ❞
❝ I can’t do this. He’s just gonna keep… He’s never gonna stop. Don’t make me do this! ❞
