Right? Having access to both, like...obviously you and I trust each other, so it's a pretty good partnership. And I think it might actually help keep my identity as Spider-Man more secret, since absolutely no one would associate Spider-Man with the villain side.
[ But the tech thing matters a lot, too. His new suit isn't quite finished, and while sure, he can use Otto's funding to do it, he's still into doing it himself. ]
I don't plan to do their missions or anything, gross.
[ He knows never say never, and he's not actually sure what missions they might want people for. But Mechanima seems pretty into independence as long as people follow the rules.
He doesn't bother mentioning that rule breakers apparently get killed; the rules are pretty easy to follow when you're a squeaky clean hero joining the bad guys for access to tech and info. ]
I mean...I'm still Spider-Man too.
[ When will he have time for all of it? Who knows? He doesn't care about that right now. It's good to have a (hyper) focus. ]
So I dunno. Building any other sort of suit would take time, but if it's not a secret like Spider-Man then maybe I could commission the base or something.
[ Deep breath, Peter. ]
I think I'm gonna do it. Better than being targeted for being Unaligned. Probably.
Sure, but you ought to be careful about it. If you're keeping it all separate, than Spider-Man is still unaligned.
[Safety in his civilian identity is nothing to sneeze at. He'll still have to keep his guard up while in his Spider identity, though. But then, Otto supposes that's nothing new.
He nods. Yes, it all sounds reasonable.]
Alright. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I'm not sure what that would be, but I'm here. [A beat, and he laughs.] I'll tell everyone you're my villainous nemesis from back home.

[Ridiculous!]
