SIDEREAL PREGAME
[ Beck's plan is falling apart. Spider-Man somehow survived getting hit by a train, and also getting shot at by multiple drones, and also he has the nerve to figure out how to see through Mysterio's illusions at the last second. Rude all around, negative fifty points for Peter Parker.
A split second after Beck fires that last shot - a split second after Peter turns, catching his wrist, sending the bullet ricocheting - his reflection turns. No longer just reflecting the back of Beck's mocap suit, but reaching out through the glass, grabbing him by his shoulders and pulling him back. (Did the bullet hit him? Does he know?) The world in front of him recedes, ebbing back until it's only a distant pinprick of light. One among many, floating in ... wait, where is this?
His double is here, standing in the middle of a great glass chamber lit only by those faint flickers. Every move the reflection makes is mirrored a hundred times, with even small gestures cascading all around him. It makes one now - inviting Beck closer. ]
Oh, you are much better in person.
