I mean there's not really much to superhero round here I guess
thanks for telling me ur secret is v. safe
I assume leo knows?

[heyunderoos]

Thank you for hearing me out. I realized I should probably tell you before it got like comically weird.

Yeah, he does. I told him first.

[licensetocrane]

coulda been a hilarious double life tho!!
I probably wouldn't have thought about it before you admitted to superpowers so you could have made it a whole running bit

what about donnie and raph? do i need to pretend i dont know around anyone in the fam?

[They're her fam and it'd make her feel uncomfortable, but OTOH superhero identities are srs bsns.]

[heyunderoos]

I've been living that double life since I was fourteen, it stopped being hilarious a while ago. I nearly got kicked out of school for bailing on that field trip.

Donnie knows, I keep trying to tell Raph, but it just never comes to fruition conversation wise? He usually wants to like... big brother at me.

[Man she is getting a Good Grade in walking into minefields]

want me to help?

[heyunderoos]

[Girlie pop, he's just like this.]

Please. He keeps patting me on the head and calling me buddy, and the conversation never gets very far?

[licensetocrane]

[She's getting that impression.]

With Raph you just need to be more blunt from the beginning. start a conversation with 'hey Raph I'm spider-guy'

[heyunderoos]

I said 'I'm a superhero' and he did not.... get it.

[licensetocrane]

uh WOW
thats impressively obtuse even for raph

[Then again Raph has struck her as kinda stressed, so...]

turn up and invite him out superheroing as spider guy then rip off your mask dramatically?

[Just don't kiss him while upside down or anything, you might get sued. Also, Leo would be very sad.]

[heyunderoos]

He was super supportive at least? I told him I can pick up a car, idk why I said that

I mean, I can, but, its so weird to just say???

honestly, not a bad idea, I could break out the costume for that. Hard part is convincing Raph to not like, humor me about it?

[licensetocrane]

i mean to raph that probalby sounds normal like ok you can pick up a car so can he
his brother can pick up a whole skyscraper

OH ask him if he wants to go superheroing with you one day!!
hes been out at home with a cape and everything
get on his level

[heyunderoos]

I'm gonna give it a bit and then ask him if he wants to patrol.

I don't want him to like think its a off the cuff thing or I'm trying to impress him? I mean, like, yeah, I'd like for him to think i'm a little cool, but the superhero stuff is sperate from that!

[licensetocrane]

omg tell me when youre gonna go out
i wanna observe from afar with opera glasses and popcorn

but dont worry raph isnt the type to go straight for 'are you tryin to impress me' hell just be impressed
he's v. straightforward we love that about him

[heyunderoos]

It'll probably be around Epiphany, so it'll be hard to actually miss. Free show, lol.

Okay, that I can handle. I still have no idea what Donnie even thinks about me and I'm not about to ask.

[licensetocrane]

[Hmm, she has a few ideas on how Donnie might feel based on purely circumstantial evidence, but she'll keep that to herself. Besides, Donnie'll always come through when it counts.]

wise choice
