There's a Nexus Gym. Did you know that? Mayday didn't know that, until the day she stumbled upon it after putting in the wrong PINPoints. Ever since, she comes there to train occasionally - the place is usually pretty empty, though decently equipped, and she's stopped wondering why. (Most of the time

"Of course not! My Dad's a good guy and, for once, I can bring a guy he won't attempt to kill with a deathglare." This would be reassuring if she didn't say it with a grin.
Ding dong~
My, what a one-legged man that is in the doorway.

The advantages of being short means he could duck behind people like May and almost be hidden. This is an advantage he's using now.
Enzan doesn't really have good experiences when it came to parents.

"Honestly. He's not going to bite. He's not a real spider, youknow," she mutters to Enzan. But before she can get too deep into teasing, Enzan will find a hand reaching out to him. (The other hand is clutching a cane, of course.)
"Hello. I'm Peter Parker. And you are hopefully not my daughter's boyfriend, because I really would hate to have to send her down to the station?"
"...Dad!"

America. Duh. He knew how to shake hands.
"That's both horrible and awesome."

He gives Enzan's hand a firm shake (but not too firm, because that could hurt). "So who are you, really? May told me you were a friend, but..."

"I, ah, want to be a cop, and your daughter told me you worked with the law. She said you'd be a pretty good person to talk to about it.""

"I'm not sure I'm the best person in the world to ask, but I'd be willing to help you out if you have any questions."
He's also willing to get you a drink. Even if you don't want one. Witness him walk to the kitchen with the, uh, not-so-proportionate speed of a spider, these days.

"Well, it's always good to ask around, right?"

"Um! Well, Enzan's interested in cops and superheroes, and since you did a few cases and worked with Spider-Man for so long..."
'..and was told our secret and brought him home and because I am an idiot please forgive me', she tells Peter with her eyes.

Suddenly he knew why May had that look in her eyes.

"I can tell you a lot about law enforcement, and... well, some-" Here, he takes a moment to glare at May. "Some things about Spider-Man. Just because I photographed the guy doesn't mean he told me everything. What's part of law enforcement interests you? Or- or the spandex clad. Unless your answer to that question is spandex, I can't help you there."

"Well, just the basics, really. I'm interested in how your system approaches superheroes, but that probably has to do not being used to the idea."

"Well, on my side of things, we don't really tolerate vigilantes. What they do is still illegal, though after having exited this long, some of them have built up... credibility. I guess that's the best way to put it? What I'm trying to say is that we do - occasionally - work with superheroes. Despite the illegality of what they do." Peter takes a sip. "We can't be everywhere, so the help's appreciated, but there's problems with it - most vigilantes just offer us a criminal and no evidence, for example."

He would be hanged if he ever did that on Wayne's watch. Quick preventions of muggings aside, first Wayne would kill him, and then he'd let Comm. Gordon kill the rest of him.

"They do it all the time. It's not that they want to hinder investigations - why else would they bring these guys to the police in the first place? - but many of them don't know any better. Your average superhero, after all, is usually someone in their teens to early twenties who doesn't have a lot of experience with actual policework. At least the paperwork side of it."
Peter rubs the back of his neck, fighting to keep a sheepish expression off his face as he adds, "Well... and a lot of the ones who should know better often forget." There's a Significant Glance at his daughter, but oh, he's guilty of it too.
