Can't say I have. When's the last time you spoke to him?
Just a few days ago. He's my roommate, but he's been busy a lot and I haven't been around the apartment much.
I-I'm not finding anything. (He-he can't be gone, can he?)

[Well, shit.] I haven't for a couple of days. Do you think he could've gone to Dogtown?
[That hadn't seemed his thing, but Tony is full of surprises.]
[That hadn't seemed his thing, but Tony is full of surprises.]
I don't think so. He's been working on something, but he was doing that before Dogtown turned into ...this.
Do you think he could have gotten involved with something?

I don't know. He could have.
[Steve also thinks about certain things Tony has learned from him. About how he reacted. It makes him feel sick.]
I'll do a sweep of ADI first, make sure he's not asleep from a caffeine crash in a lab somewhere.

Tell me what you find?
(Please let that be it. She is going to yell his ear off about the dangers of drugs and caffeine and using them in place of actually taking care of himself if this is the case, but please let him be okay.)

Is he the sort who'd tell you if he was going off somewhere for a day or two?
[ Oh Cortana. Oh no. ]
I'm afraid that I haven't seen him. Have you tried contacting him directly over the network?

we gave him a tracker
I can't find its signal now so it has either been destroyed or he is out of range
[Yeah, he has a concern, too.]

Not really, no. But he's also more the sort to disappear into his room or pass out from no sleep and too much caffeine than vanish entirely like this.
Dammit! (Shouted very emphatically. Oh, wait, that might scare him.) Sorry. Thanks Winter. (Some more, quieter swearing. She has a really impressive swear vocabulary, covering current languages, past languages, future languages, and even alien languages.)
Right. Does he have any usual haunts, or is he more of a homebody?
Winter says he can't find his tracker signal.
[About an hour later:] Nothing so far. But that just means I'll start checking around town.
has no one heard anything from him? I thought... he was busy?
He's not in the apartment or the labs, and no one seems to be able to contact him.
(She's his roommate, she should know.)
(She's his roommate, she should know.)
Shit!
(She's swearing a lot today, apparently. Giving her vocabulary a real workout.)
I know he frequented the electronics stores.

[Peter goes through his fair share of feelings. Grief is immediate, and frustration and regret comes after. He had barely even gotten to see Tony again...]
Hopefully we can find him. He has to be here somewhere. He has to be.

[Well, there is a time and place for everything.]
Okay. I'm on it. Let me know if you hear from him in the meantime?

I will.
(A pause.)
Winter says he can't find his tracker signal.

Damnit.
Well. That's not definitive.
[Just. Not great.]
