Endearing? Peter forcibly reminded himself that first of all, she just meant she found it flattering that Spidey seemed to have confidence in her, nothing more; and secondly, her opinion on Spider-Man had minimal bearing on her opinion of Peter Parker, and -- dear God, how did he constantly get himself into these kinds of situations? Not that this was any kind of situation at all, so get a grip, Parker.

"Well," he started again, "it's hard to argue with that kind of proposi -- with that kind of approach."

He coughed, then leaned forwards a little in his chair. It was time to get down to brass tacks, before he got even more distracted. "But tell me a little more. Spidey said you'd be interested in my kinds of photos, but he doesn't, ah, always understand the ins-and-outs of the creative side of things. More of a punch first, consider journalistic and artistic ramifications of photo of punch later kind of guy, if you know what I mean. And of course I should warn you I don't have much of a portfolio, since I only managed to replace all my gear recently."

After seeing her first post on the network about it, in other words. Not that he hadn't been feeling the creative itch lately, with everything else in his life going relatively well, but he'd always found it easier to create with an audience in mind.

Speaking in general terms.

“See, I can understand why the punching first is such a priority,” Donna replied, “but that hardly helps us out, does it?” Her lips curled inwards in a slight smirk before she continued, “Basically, it seems that there’s a big section of town that doesn’t seem to like imPorts very much. And I thought if we could showcase the good they do-you know, get a few shots of them taking down some thugs, run a spread of someone saving a group of kids or something-then public opinion might be a bit more tolerant.”

Donna paused after that, realizing she was rambling a bit. It was hard to stop herself once she got an idea in her head; her mind just kept running with it. Embarrassed a bit, she gave Peter a conspiratory look.

“But the thing is, staging things like that has never really sat well with me. And I know it’s happening out there in the City, I’ve seen it. So basically what I need is someone who has a good eye and get me shots like that.”

“And as for the portfolio, I know how it is. So if you are interested, we could try a test-run type of thing. It seems easier that way.”

Peter nodded. "I can definitely go with that. Only --" He hesitated, unsure quite how to put this in a way that wouldn't make him look like either a sleazebag or a fraud. Which was difficult because in some ways he was a fraud, however necessary the reasons.

"I should tell you, I got my rep for action shots of Spider-Man because he's always kept me informed. Nothing staged," he added hastily, and boy he wished that had always been the case, "he just lets me know what he's up to. I do take plenty of photos of other heroes, of course, but I just don't have that kind of long-standing relationship with them..."

"Hey, if you can get me some great shots of him, I certainly won't complain. He seems more than a little popular, around here." She actually found it refreshing, in a way; he seemed so normal in conversation, at least comparatively. She likes to know that were heroes like that out there.

"Yeah, apparently in this universe he's some kind of pop culture star -- it's going to his head." He rolled his eyes on cue, though he didn't actually seem all that annoyed.

"Nothing wrong with enjoying the moment. Especially in that line of work, when they're sometimes hard to find."

His lips quirked. "Oh, Spidey and I are all about enjoying the moment."

Wait, was that a weird thing to say? That was probably weird, wasn't it. Damnit, Parker.

"You too seem to have a lot in common." Just a hint of a smirk. She's thinking of them along the lines of the Titans, with their incredibly intimate friendships.
