Peter slowly rose to his, relieved that Rogue's little episode had been settled, at least for now. His teammates had all spoken what needed to be said to the young and troubled Marie. For the most part he agreed with them, and that he didn't he found to trivial to argue.

"Like you do?"
Silence was the reply the voice inside him recieved. Victoria's words were still running through his mind. It wasn't that the idea of having friends and people to confine in was appalling to him. Part of him desired to experience that again. However, he knew what risks were involved when you opened yourself up to people, when you let them in, befriend them. He knew what indescribable and agonizing pain it brought, and it was not one he cared to go through again. So in the end, being a loner won out.
The spider's thoughts were broken with the arrival of their host. He half listened to his explaination on why one of the newcomers, Matua, had left and his briefing of their final member. The good doctor captured Peter's full attention with the mention of their departure. As much as he wanted to be a part of this and help people, if this wasn't another repeat of the Timebroker, he still had a team back home to aid as well, and he was eager to see them once again, after believing that for so long that they were lost.
