Peter gave a slight nod to the answer the caped wizard had given him, not entirely satisfied with it. Time would vary. He wouldn't be able to calculate how much time he would miss on his world, he just knew that some amount of time would pass. He didn't know if such a factor could be tolerable, or if Panther and the others would be able to understandibly excuse his abscence. He would have to wait and see.
Peter's pace started to slow, putting him near the end of the group. He let his thoughts become his primary concern for the moment, allowing them to take his attention away from the answers Dr. Strange had given Tessa and Victoria. The time issue was nagging at him from the inside, and he could help but feel guilty for leaving the Resistance.
Such thoughts, however, were pushed aside as the good doctor opened a door to reveal three new faces. One he recognized. Her face triggered a feeling a warmth inside the spider, small, but it was there. On his world she had been a treasured companion, almost like a little sister. She listened and helped him with his problems, and he did the same for her. That same companionship only grew stronger after the unmentionable happened. The only thing that kept her from becoming a full time member was her age, which was 17 the last time he'd seen her, though she was counting down the days till that would change. In fact, the only noticable difference that he could find between this Rogue and his Rogue, was their age. The Rogue before him was clearly not in her teen years and may possibly even be older than he was. Getting to know this version of Rogue would prove interesting to say the least. But for now, he would stand back and allow her to become familiar with her new teammates. Still, it was a pleasant surprise to see her face.
Letting more serious concerns consume him, Peter again let himself fall to the rear of the group and watched them as they waited for Dr. Strange to return.
