After Liz, Peter had been afraid that his love life was doomed to be a bust. He'd finally gotten up the nerve to ask her to homecoming, and...then he'd ditched her at the dance to go stop her supervillain dad and land him in jail. It's not that he regrets stopping Vulture -- keeping those alien tech weapons out of the hands of bad guys around Queens, around the city, matters -- but he does regret leaving Liz like that, and also the part he had in, kind of, wrecking her life.

But then he met Gwen, who's smart, and pretty, and fun, and craziest of all, she noticed him. (And neither of her parents are supervillains. He's pretty sure. Like, 98%.)

He bounces on his feet once after that peck on the cheek, grinning, unable to help himself. Being around Gwen has that effect on him, like just being Peter Parker actually can be awesome, after all.

"So where is it?"

She gives his sleeve a tug and he follows, happy to let her lead. Even if the name does sound a little familiar...like might've-stopped-a-hold-up-around-there-once familiar.
