[ Peter's effort definitely works! The man is indeed knocked out, sinking to the group like a puppet whose strings have suddenly been cut.
Which - thankfully - leaves Peter and Billy safe for now.. though the latter's jaw is definitely dropping as he watches this entire thing. It's not like he's never seen people fight before, that's not where the surprise is coming from. It's more that it's Peter that's doing it, and also the skill he's doing it with. It seems to be going too well for just him randomly brawling.
So even though there's a lot to be said here, the first thing that comes out of Billy's mouth is just-- ]
Do you.. do this often?
[ He look so surprised. His tone matches the expression, really. Considering Peter kind of seemed like an inventor after Billy found out about the odd spider web things before, Billy did not imagine him to also be a fighter on top of it. That's not how being a nerd is supposed to work, Peter!! ]
