The Gym, Thursday night

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter walked down to the gym and was surprised to see it empty. "There's a first time for everything. Okay, what to do, what to do..."

He needed something more active than stretching and the untaken punching bag was looking very appealing. He glanced down at his cast and made a decision. "Okay, one handed kickboxing against the nefarious Count Punching Bag it is." Peter started hitting the bag quietly...

... for about two minutes. Then he launched into a series of taunts about the punching bag's mother. He really couldn't shut up while fighting.

"If I asked Tyler, would he tell me something different?" Anakin asked, glancing over at Tyler.

Bob stepped aside, wordlessly gesturing to Tyler. "No," Tyler said. "He's fine. Just makes me think about things I would rather not think about."

Anakin nodded slowly. "I've met some that were a little less...politely inclined," he said. "Sorry," he said to the ghost.

"No offense taken," Bob said, affably enough.

Anakin turned back to Tyler. "I take it your...friend is a recent development?"

"I've known him for going on two years," Bob said. "Worked with him for most of a year, if you count the part where I was kind of disadvantaged, as far as being alive went."

Tyler blanched. "He showed up here Monday," he explained to Anakin. "I hear I'm not the only lucky one?"

Anakin nodded at Bob. "Got it," he said, smiling, then turned back to Tyler. "I've met Veronica's...friend." His eyes hardened. "He's a real piece of work. The rest of the visitors I've only heard about on the radio."

"I got Veronica's email," Tyler said. "And yeah. I could have gotten a much worse ghost. Not that this is fun."

"I can imagine," Anakin said, looking sympathetic. "No offense to you," he said to the ghost, "but the past should stay buried."
