Peter Parker has posed:
He had to tell Aunt May, but he gave her a story about taking pictures during a Spider-Man job and finding the mystery girl, and taking her home to recover because he didn't want to give up a source. Aunt May was skeptical, but Peter promised he would look after her and she relented (as long as he promised to keep an eye on her).

He had pulled out the hide-away bed, had a few minutes of indecision before carefully taking her clothes off down to her underclothing to attend to her wounds. He had a comprehensive medical kit, complete with OTC drugs, splints, bandages, and even a medical stapler in addition to needle and thread.

Peter looked at Chizue, asleep in the bed, then looked up and figured it was time to make breakfast. So, he went upstairs, after leaving a note for Chizue:

STAY IN BED. BREAKFAST OTW. USE INTERCOM BUTTON TO CHAT.

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    Beneath what's left of that, well god only knows what that jet black suit is even made of. It's coarse like sand paper, but soft and both rubbery and hard depending on the area. Anywho below that it's yet another mysterious fabric this time in dull grey which seems to form both undergarment and compression stocking to key areas, but by the time she's layed out she's not only stopped bleeding but largely stabilized all on her own.

    The majority of that vivid bright blue and green inkwork that forms her tattooed bodysuit is likewise largely unharmed, save for the actual stab wounds themselves that is. The ink around the actual trauma sight is curiously enough, dramatically more vivid than anywhere else. Ninja mystery #2716 no doubt never the less.

    Finally, when she does come around it's in silence. Observing her surroundings mutely for a few moments, before slowly sitting upright with a wince and a sharp inhale. She lets her attention stray to the wounds with a frown, before finally snagging the note. Clumsily she thumbs the intercom button, quiet for a moment before hoarsely offering "I'm up, I need to use your computer if it isn't too much trouble."

Peter Parker has posed:
A pause, then Peter's voice comes over the line. "Computer desk in the corner. Type the password 'TheWorldTheChildrenMade.' You'll see a flash and then it will unlock. How do you like your eggs?"

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    "I'm not particular, anything would be amazing."She rolls out of bed with a hiss, clutching at her side for a moment before meandering over to the computer and getting to work. It would only take about ten verification steps to even open the interface of course, before remotely taking control of her desktop back home and using that to ping the larger Haga network. It's enough to fill that monitor with multicolored Kanji, and well using an English keyboard only makes everything all the more fun!

Peter Parker has posed:
There is a muted flash from the webcam, but other than that there are no issues. He's running on a serious coax cable connection, with a weird VPN by a company called ParkerSoft. It's certainly secure, though.

Peter comes down a few minutes later, the scents of the meal preceding him - thick-cut applewood bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, OJ, milk, two large buscuits. Simple fare, in a simple home.

"You didn't take any hits to the digestive system, but if something starts hurting or leaking, let me know." Peter placed the tray with the food on the large drafting table near Chizue.

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    At least one biscuit doesn't even survive long enough to get set down, and washed down with an eager mouthfull of OJ without so much as a wince. "I'll be alright, just lost a lot of blood."And another biscuit gets summarily attacked with equal gusto, chewing thoughtfully for a few moments. "First time I've had a lung punctured, and you know it wasn't as bad as I thought. Too much adrenaline, I hardly felt a thing at the time."

    Thankfully at least the computer is ignored for the moment, because well food seems to have successfully taken up the majority of her attention span. "Did you see if he got away, I mean did he fall? My feed seems to have cut before the fight was over, I'm guessing you're the one who dragged me here?"

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter sat on the computer chair. "He blipped out of there. I think the goal was to...bring him about, or bring him back from wherever he was." He sighed. "I was too busy trying to get you out of there before you gushed to death. You were pretty banged up and cut up." He paused, then said, "I had to take most of your clothes off to treat you. Hope that wasn't a line I crossed."

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    There a slow shake of her head "The foot aren't supposed to have any magic left, their clan leader is supposed to be dead. This whole time I've been ripping them apart they've been leaderless, confused and sloppy."and a pause, as she starts in on those eggs with a soft humm. "The moment I picked him up visually, he was flagged priority. I mean the armor all lines up, he fought like what I'd expect if it was him. I think that guy though, I think that was Oroku Saki. Head of the Foot clan, and supposedly dead for god knows how many years."

    "And Peter, you did nothing wrong. Finishing him off would have been nice, but I can't expect you to fight in a Ninja war. You saved my life, you ferried me to safety, you tended my wounds and now you're feeding me."And a soft humm oncemore as she goes after Bacon for a few bites. "Clan Haga and I, both owe you a great debt. First fight I lose, and I was fortunate enough to have you to fall back on. Truly I am blessed."

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter gave Chizue a wry smile. "You're my teacher. More importantly, I consider you a friend. And friends help each other. Besides, I may be a bargain-basement hero, but 'hero' is still right in there...and cowards can't be heroes."

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    "Nothing bargain basement about you peter, and you know I'd be more than happy to rip off a few Yakuza bank accounts if you ever wanted the cash anyway."Theres a little noddle at that, before falling silent with another mouthfull. "Hmmmf, would you mind terribly if I asked you to pick up a cache for me? I mean I have some clothes stashed, and I'm gonna need a little more than my ink and my underpants if I want to get back home without raising too many eyebrows."

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter shrugs. "Wouldn't be a problem. Depending on where it is located, I could have it back within an hour or so. Just give me a location." He chuckles. "I don't take what isn't mine, Owari. I respect the way you roll, I only ask you do the same."

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    Theres a hand raised in deference "I'm only renewing the offer, have I ever forced you to do anything you didn't want to before?"Napkin is dabbed, and finally she reclines with a faint wince, peering after that wound oncemore. "If we are where I think we are, it's just a hop and a skip but it can wait a few all the same. Right now we need to discuss what we're going to do about the Foot clan, because if their leader is back they're about to get dramatically more dangerous."

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter hmmed. "Well, it makes sense to get as much intel as possible on this Saki guy. I'm assuming your clan has a file on him?"

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    "Sort of, we have a file on a guy who was around a few hundred years ago. A guy who wore those colors, with those symbols. We just have to be careful about even taking it at face value that it's the same man, or if it's the same body but a different spirit? This is Ninja stuff, and if I hadn't burried a sword in his chest with my own hands I'd be paranoid if any of this was even real."She offers with a sigh, finally lifting a hand in defeat. "And who was that girl, she anyone you know?"

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter shook his head. "Saw her once. Heroic tendencies, but as green as grass. Maybe she'll show up again, but right now you worry about you."

Peter looked around, then back to Chizue. "Would you be terribly surprised if I told you this wasn't my FIRST sighting of someone back from being dead a long time? Because although Kulan Gath might be the world-record holder, he ain't the only one in the category."

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    "No, I mean I hear stories about it. I've met a few people over the years who claim to be back from the dead, Haga elders say it's a thing that can happen. I just thought it was more complicated, I mean that was like some dudes and a canister of blackberry jelly? Aren't there supposed to be like, human sacrifices and big cauldrons or something? Kuro always said it was really a big deal, magically I mean."Though well magic is ultimately as much a Owari thing as it is a Spider Man thing. "Do you know any local wizards or witches, or anyone else we can bug about this?"

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter hmms. "I've heard of a few we might be able to talk to, IF they'll take a call from Spider-Man. I can try to find out, though. But if there are any actual records about the guy, it would be handy to find them. Right now, all he looks like is some kind of uber-samurai and I have no idea what his methodology is."

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    "Ninja, not Samurai. So if he is what he says he is, as sneaky as I am but a whole lot more experienced."Theres a little shrug there "Well if they won't take your call, I'll drop by to say hello myself. We should definitely put feelers out though, because me shoving a sword down through his collarbone nearly to the hilt? Yeah that didn't kill him, so we're going to want to figure out a weakness here."

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter hmmed. "Yeah, that'll be a problem. We'll just have to find out what we can." He sat back, looking at the plate. "Want seconds?"

Chizue Nakamura has posed:
    The tray is examined for a moment before shaking her head "Clothes first at least, Do you know where Mario's Deli is? The good one, not the shit one with the blue tiles? Up on the roof under an AC unit with a yellow piece of tape on the side, unscrew the yellow painted bolt and slide the condensation tray out. You'll find it in a waterproof bag, bring a pair of snippers with you. Theres a grenade on a tripwire when you pull the bag, not a frag or anything just a flash bang but it'll burn the bag so..."

Peter Parker has posed:
Peter nods even as he pulls the mask on, heading to a locker to pull out the Spider-Suit. "Got it. I should be back in 30 minutes. There's more food in the kitchen upstairs. Aunt May went out, won't be back for a couple of hours. But keep an eye out, just in case, okay?"

He walked over to the rear of the lab, opening a panel and lifting a trap door to the backyard. "Be back in a few New York Minutes." He gives her a two-fingered salute, then steps outside and closes the trap door, the panel swinging shut and latching.
