"Hey Spidey." Martinez swung his legs over the ledge as he spoke, not fearing the fall as he knew Spider-man would do everything in his power to catch him before he hit the ground. Right next to him, Peter was eating a sandwich, his mask pulled up to the nose allowed Martinez to see the lump of food in his mouth.
"Hmm." Martinez sipped at his soda and smack his lips before answering, a stupid idea had popped into his head and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted it to happen.
"What if you, like made a jungle gym for the precinct?" Peter blinked in surprise before slowly turning to his friend, swallowing the bite he took as he did so.
"...what?" Martinez blushed and looked away while scratching his cheek with his index finger, suddenly finding the clouds to be fascinating.
"You know! Make one of those jungle gyms that are completely made out of rope, well you would be using your webs, but you know what I mean." Peter finished his sandwich in one bite and moved the food over to the side of his mouth so he could keep on talking. He put his hands up as he tried to process the request.
"Alright, so lemme get this straight, you want me, to make a jungle gym out of my web, for the precinct?" Martinez did not hesitate.
"Yeah! Listen Spidey, in about two weeks, the precinct is gonna have a small get together at a nearby bar to celebrate what we have accomplished in the year. And I don't know about you, it would be hilarious to see a bunch of drunk adults trying to climb on it." Peter thought about the sight and snorted himself before turning to Martinez with a raised eyebrow, speaking with a knowing tone.
"You just want to see people fall, don't you?" Martinez averted his eyes.
"...no." Peter shook his head in belief, a smile still presents on his face.
"Sure sure, let's say I do make it, what makes you think they're even gonna get on it?" Martinez turned to Peter quickly with a wide smile on his face.
"Dude, we are all children at heart, it's been years since any of us has been on a jungle gym." Although Peter had to agree that everyone was a child at heart, he really doubted that a bunch of hardened police officers with a bunch of even more jaded detectives would just jump at the chance to get on a jungle gym.
"I sincerely dou-"
"I know for a fact that you swing on the swings in central park in the middle of the night when no one is there." Peters jaw clicked shut as he turned a bright, bright red. His mask was still up so Martinez could see the blush creeping up Peters neck before it disappeared under the red fabric. Martinez's smile turned into a shit eating grin as he got the reaction he expected/wanted. Peter was shocked that he had been seen, granted, he would swing on the swings. BUT, it was only to test the strength of the chains and the range of motion. To, you know, make sure the children will be safe.
"...h-how di-"
"Me and Hendrickson has seen you, multiple times," Peter covered his face with his hands in embarrassment, making Martinez let out a laugh loud enough that made people on the street look around in confusion. Martinez tilted his head to the right, looking up as he did so." Also, now that we're talking about it, a ton of our female workers thinks it's cute that you swing on the swings when you think no one is looking." That almost made Peter blush further, until he remembered that most of the women in Martinez's precinct tolerated him most right after valentine's day (meaning that they usually did not tolerate him.) Peter lowered his hands and looked at Martinez.
"they do not." Martinez slightly deflated as he was caught but still continued.
"Yeah they don't, but anyway, it's a great idea Spidey," Martinez reached out and gently shook Peter, who let himself be moved side to side," just imagine it, it would be a bunch of police officers stumbling around like idiots, just trying to get to the very top. I bet you can even make a competition out of it." Peter let out a laugh, just the thought of it made him really consider it. He started to do the mental calculations, trying to figure out where he was going do it and just how much web he was going to use if he wanted to make it both safe and worthwhile.
"Ok, ok, I'll do it, -" Peter quickly cut off Martinez's yell of triumph," only if, you get permission from Captain Cardenaz, and," he paused for effect.
"if you get at least five officers to agree to it." Instead of Martinez deflating like Peter thought he would, he seemed to sit up straighter and his impossibly big smile seemed to get a little bit bigger. Peter groaned at the state of his friend.
"Oh, I do not like that look."
"Wooooo, fuck yeah!"
"Whoa whoa, Carly calm down!"
"Fuck you Isaac! I haven't been on one of these since I was nine!"
"Hey, we still have work tomorrow! Don't get hurt!"
Peter stood on the sidelines as he watched a swarm of officers run onto the web jungle gym he had created in the precinct workout area. All of the officers obviously have been drinking and at the very least, they had a buzz going on. The web gym (he just made up that name on the spot) was elaborate with both the features and the safety nets he had set up. Peter even went as far as to add in a coloring agent into mixture just to make a difference between the mass of webs. So right now, there were a bunch of plain clothed officers climbing all over the blue and gold mess. Captain Cardenaz, Hendrickson, Martinez, along with Peterson standing next to him on the side lines.
"Wow, good thing you put those safety nets or I would have a lot of officers calling out sick tomorrow. "
"Well captain, Spidey here cares about us, not to mention I'm sure he wants to stay in your good graces. "Captain Cardenaz let out a laugh at Martinez's words, the other officers joining in with their own chuckles (Except for Peterson, he just smirked off to the side) Peter looked at his creation with a look of amazement.
"So," Peter dragged out the last syllable as he turned to the captain and officers, his words directed towards Martinez. "What exactly did you tell them to be so…willing?" the captain raised a knowing eyebrow at Martinez. Who tensed up and rubbed the back of his neck nervously before answering.
"well for one, they're a little bit more than tipsy, and two- "Martinez averted his eyes," I may have told them whoever gets to the top first gets to have you take them to the top of whatever building they want?" Peter stared at Martinez, and if he didn't have his mask on, they would have seen his disapproving stare.
"…you are lucky that I like you, you know that?" Martinez threw his arm around Peters shoulders with a grin on his face.
"you love us Spidey and you know it." Peter hummed in displeasure, making the other officers chuckle at their antics.
"Wooooo!" all five of them turned to the web gym when they heard the sound of victory, all of them eager to see the winner of the little competition. Upon seeing the officer that one, they all smiled sympathetically at Peter. The captain even going as far as to pat Peters shoulder as he looked up at the winner.
"I believe in you Spidey, you can do this." The officer that had one was one of the biggest officers in the precinct. It was Markus smith, a 6'7 behemoth who was a force to reckon with (He was really the definition of the character term "Looks like he could kill you but is really a cinnamon roll.") its not that Peter didn't like Markus, it was the fact that Markus had almost entire foot on him in height and at least 50 pounds when it comes to the weight factor. Meaning.
It was going to be really hard to take him wherever he wants. Peter pulled Martinez to him.
"I swear to god Martinez, I will get you back for this. "
Martinez gulped.
