[A masked face comes onto the screen and Spider-Man is obviously up high somewhere, because the wind noise is loud and almost overbearing. He sets the phone up then shuffles back a bit, crouching on the edge of a building.]

You should invest in a pair of gloves. [ Momma Bear is trolling the Super Hero Son. Leave her be. ] Are you going to be our weather and traffic man now as well?

Whatever it is you normally have on Thanksgiving. Mandalus doesn't have an equivalent, it seems, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to have a rather large dinner for all those who are living in the Sanctuary.

[ Yes, she's making your favorite part of Thanksgiving Dinner, Peter. ]

[ KNEW IT. ]

I'd rather you be awake and not having the most ridiculous stomach ache on Black Friday.

[amazing_spidey]

I'll be fine! Food can't stop me.

[notanemptymotto]

I'm also assuming there is a Black Friday here, of course.
