[Video] An accidental, personal rant

[mysterioisthetruth]

[warning: threads could potentially contain manipulation, emotional abuse, violence]

[In complete rejection of the vulnerability within himself - the sadness and weakness that he felt his unwanted shadow version had projected - Beck has become more unstable, spurred on by the feeling of lacking control. He's been working with his tech and while frantically pushing buttons, he's accidentally switched on to broadcast.]

Okay, let's do this one more time...

[He's speaking to the side, at something not seen by the camera. His voice is tense.]

It isn't enough that you made me feel like I was this small.

[His fingers close down to nothingness.]

No, not even that small. That I didn't exist.

Or that it felt like I was dead and gone and still should only be spoken about as a waste of space.

No. No, no no...

[He shakes his head, grimacing and the tension is starting to boil up and over.]

No, now you have to bring that into it--

[He points at something again out of camera range.]

Something that really, really shouldn't exist. I'm past that. I'm better than that. Despite your best efforts to keep me invisible, I'm not. People see me. People know who I am, for better or... for worse.

[He clenches his jaw at those words, fists forming at his sides.]

I'm noticed. That's what's important here.

Right? Right?

[His voice is rising, passionately angry.]

I am a known entity. I am Mysterio!

[He makes a grand sweeping gesture and his formerly regular clothing instantly transforms and reveals he's actually wearing his flashy hero suit.]

This is who I am now. It's who I'm meant to be - and you are not going to stop me. Not by your words. Not by your memory. Nothing you can do can stop me.

[He's glaring angrily past the camera then he raises his hands, green energy forming around them. His voice is quieter but now deadly.]

I should have killed you in more than just a story.

[And he lets the energy flash across the room in a bright, destructive blast. The shock of it is enough to jar the device and cut off the feed.]

I... I don't know.

Maybe you didn't do it. You're far too good, Peter... Too nice. Maybe one of your friends did it.

Did you give EDITH to Marco?

[made_up_names]

[ That... does seem like something Marco would do. And he has access via his Peter morph. But Peter guards EDITH closely now, and he trusts Marco too much to accuse him of violating Peter’s trust in turn. ]

Of course I didn’t. She’s locked to my biometrics anyway.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You removed any connection to my tech?

[He did as well, on his end, but he wants to hear it from Peter.]

[made_up_names]

As far as I can tell, yeah. I haven't exactly tested it.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Then it still could be possible.

[made_up_names]

[ He makes a faintly exasperated noise. ]

I - fine. Sure. I guess. But it's only my biometrics keyed into it.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Then you admit doing it.

[made_up_names]

[ Peter is no tzaddik, okay. He has limits, and he's reaching one of them. This is so frustrating. ]

I'm 99% sure you just butt dialed the network. It happens, man.

[mysterioisthetruth]

So you're blaming me?

[made_up_names]

Technically, I'm blaming your butt. Or however you accidentally turned this on.

[mysterioisthetruth]

....

[He sighs.]

This is... such a mess.

[made_up_names]

Yeah. It's rough having people come after you on social media, isn't it.

[ The driest possible tone. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

What... Are you going to gloat about this?

[made_up_names]

Dude, I'm just pointing out the obvious irony here.

[mysterioisthetruth]

So you're happy that I'm being humiliated.

[It's different when it's about him - and he's not even thinking clearly enough to feign any sympathy for what he put Peter through.]

[made_up_names]

The part of me that's a bad person is feeling some schadenfreude, sure. You blew up my life when you unmasked me.

[mysterioisthetruth]

So the wonderful Peter Parker does enjoy a little revenge.

[made_up_names]

I already told you I'm not perfect. I'm just a person, okay?

[mysterioisthetruth]

A good person with a good heart who'd rescue people who tried to kill him... yet still indulge in petty revenge.

[made_up_names]

Yeah? Yeah. Sometimes. I've done that before. And it cost me.

[mysterioisthetruth]

And now. What are you going to do? Joke with all your friends about how much of a loser I am?

[made_up_names]

Of course not.

[ He says, despite getting a good laugh out of the next post. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Why wouldn't you? Everybody else is.

[made_up_names]

Because I know how it feels and it sucks.

[mysterioisthetruth]

But you wouldn't defend me either, would you. Not now.
