Moment of Awesome - Miles Morales/Spider-Man : In the aftermath of With Extreme Prejudice, Miles talks to Kyle Gibney about his guilt in possibly killing someone he was trying to stop. "Okay, I've got a question and it's going to sound real weird so I'm sorry right now." He paused, trying to figure out the right way to ask, before settling on the most direct. "Have you ever killed someone? I mean, on a mission. And not necessarily on purpose. Like, if something you did made someone die." "Man you don't screw around with the questions." Kyle let out a long breath, and then did it again just for good measure. "Uh. Maybe, I dunno. I know I looked the other way a couple of times when someone did that, so, I guess you could say I did?" Maybe he should've said no, or told Miles that it didn't matter, he thought, ever so briefly about both options, but neither was fair, or honest. "Never like, directly, but yeah, I probably caused a couple of people to die." Miles nodded, processing Kyle's admission. "And are you okay with it?" he asked slowly, deliberately, in an effort not to stumble over his own words. "Like, how do you deal with it?" Kyle shook his head slowly. "Man I do a lot of therapy. I talk to the Prof, I drink a lot of decaf tea, I beat up robots in the Danger Room. Sometimes I don't deal. I mean, sometimes I go camping for a few days, sometimes I, uh, indulge in a couple of bad habits." Sometimes he tried to get drunk, which never worked very well. "I talk, like, a lot. I don't know I have great answers for you." He shrugged. "No quick fortune cookie wisdom, dealing with it's kind of a lot of work." "I don't have any bad habits," Miles lied, and then shook his head, knowing how ridiculous and unbelievable that sounded. "Do we know anyone who can go back in time? Make things happen differently." "Probably not?" Kyle answered. "I mean, maybe they did already, maybe it hadda happen. But like, no fortune cookie wisdom here." He pointed at himself. "I don't think anyone's got a Time Turner, or any flying phone booths." He rested his chin on the back of his turned-around chair. "Back to the Future says if we did know anyone who could do that, you wouldn't know, cause it'd create a separate branch of time, so I think even if we find a time traveler, you're stuck with the hard work part."
