Riptide

85

I was currently on set with Andrew, Tom, and Toby for the last day of filming before we have a break for Christmas.

And since it's my birthday a few days before we get our break, our amazing and awesome producer lengthened our break so I don't have to work on my birthday.

My coworkers love me at the moment.

Not that they don't usually.

Anyways, in the scene we were about to film, the Spidermen are all telling each other about their Valerie's.

This scene would be way before a bunch of the stuff we've already filmed, but the writers and producer wanted it to be added in, so here we were.

"Action" The director, Jon Watts called.

"Wait, so you guys have a Val too?" Peter 3 questioned. "But all three of us look different, so shouldn't Val, too?"

"I don't know how this all works, I learned about the multiverse like 3 days ago." Peter 1 reminded him. "But I do know that my little sister looked exactly like yours does, talked the same, walked the same, sounded the same."

"My Valerie looks like her as well." Peter 2 commented. "It's like we're the only people who are different across dimensions."

"Well except for your green goblin." Peter 3 spoke up. "Mine and Val's was a different guy. I mean it was still Osborne, but he didn't look like that."

"Ok so way to make things more complicated." Valerie rolled her eyes, her arms crossed over her chest in boredom. "Any useful, non-confusing information?"

"Yeah, Um, I wanted to tell you to stop doubting yourself so much. I know that I technically don't know you, and that it's a fact that flips both ways, but doubting yourself is the first step toward failure." Peter 1 basically gave her a pep talk. "And remember, in my dimension. you died saving the world. Let it be your goal again. Minus the dying"

"Hell of a monologue Peter 1." Valerie commented, clearing her throat.

"Is Val gonna cryyy?" Peter 2 teased his sister, who smacked his hands away.

"Shut up." Val rolled her eyes at him before turning back to Peter 1. "And I don't doubt myself."

"Then why don't you use your powers?" Peter 1 questioned, knowing he had her right where he wanted her.

"I don't know" I replied, keeping my eyes on Tom. "What's my line?" I asked the crew.

"Your line is 'I don't use my powers because I couldn't control them when it mattered." One of the female crew members told me.

"Well that's just lazy writing." I remarked quietly.

"Delphi, don't be your dad." Jon commented with a chuckle.

"I'm gonna tell him you said that." I replied before turning back to the Peters.

"From Tom's last line." Jon instructed.

"Then why don't you use your powers?"

Valerie was silent for a moment before answering with a scowl pointed toward Peter 1. "I don't use my powers because I couldn't control them when it mattered."

"What do you mean?" Peter 2 asked.

"How did your guys' Uncle Ben die?" Valerie asked Peters 1&2.
