[It certainly helps any anxiety she feels, knowing her refuses to not stay by her side. She doubts he'd be able to go the whole way with her, but even knowing he'd be outside helps. She finds his hand now, squeezing it gently.]
Thank you.
[Okay. Focused. He's right, they don't run from things. She's faced way worse than this weirdo Jerry and his Council buddies.]
You said your suit has a tracker, right? Can you control it remotely, or does it just stay in place once you activate it? [She's having thoughts!! She's wondered ever since their conversation about the AI program on what's inside the City Council Building. She might not be able to investigate it herself, but if she can smuggle Peter's tech inside, maybe he can use it to look around while she's got Jerry and the Council's attention?]
(it's what he keeps promising - that they're together, doesn't matter what. he didn't compute the crime, because he knows it's not real, he knows it's not that, and it's not his focus in any shape or form. he wants her with him, focused, they can handle anything like that.)
I can control it, yeah, but without the GPS network, it's a bit strange. I don't know how it will work.
If I brought it inside with me, would I need to plant it? Think you could get information on what's inside City Hall from it?
[It's just an idea. She doesn't know if it will work, but it was certainly worth a try, right? Because if that AI hub was inside there like she wondered, if there was some sort of barrier blocking their ability to pick up on it, then maybe they could learn something from the inside.]
Yeah, me too. [Does she need to? Not really. Her suit isn't exactly fancy, expensive tech like his, but it feels wrong, to not suit up before a mission.]
No, it stays on you, unless I move it, but it's like a little drone-- but I don't know, I can't promise, but we can try.
(the tech works and doesn't work. some things are dependent on the stark network, which is connected to so many goddamn things - whether the GPS could work, they gotta check, maybe coordinates, maybe something, and even nothing is something in these uncertain times. so, he's quick to change, unbothered by the nakedness - nothing here she hasn't seen.)
Maybe we can put it in my hood? That way it's hidden. I don't know if they'll search me or not.
[Normally she would be more playful with him, changing into their suits like this, but she's distracted, thinking about what's about to happen and what her fate will be. Her spider-sense isn't freaking out, so she doubts she's in any real danger, but that doesn't mean this will be any fun.
But it's not long before she's fully changed, rocking between her feet at the door as she waits for him.]
I think that's a good one. Okay, let's get it-- just a second, okay? This thing without the AI-- I gotta do everything manually, so...
(the mask shows that he squints at times, his eye movements setting up the small drone that comes out of his suit. with care, he places it inside the hood, a little to her back, where it latches, before his hand meets hers.)
[Gwen nods, letting Peter do his thing. She only knows what he tells her about the suit, but it always blows her mind, the technology he has. And this Tony Stark guy just gave it to him??
But that's besides the point. She nods, trying to convey through her mask that his attempts to reassure her have helped, even if she still isn't quite sure how she feels right now.]
Yeah-- Yeah, I think so. [She gives his hand a squeeze, before leaning forward and resting her forehead against his. Masks are on, so no kissing for now, but it's still an intimate touch.] Thank you.

(i'm pulling this out of my ass)
I'll go change, okay?
