When Petey was told to take off his mask his ussual smile diminished. It wasn't only that he had to take off the barrier between Steel and Petey Parker but it was also a hassle to get off considering the head piece was mounted to just about everything else. Steel extended the legs on his arms and decoupled himself from the device allowing him to fall out of the harness. 

As Petey looked around the room he gave way to a smile imagining that if not for a few diffrent things in his past he could have been one of the spidermen he saw before him. When the group was open to questions, Petey put his hand up but quickly brought it down as another spider-man began asking away. Petey waited for the other to finish their chat before posing his question "I think I speak for a lot of us here when I ask, what is this earth's spiderman like as opposed to us?" He asked curiously.
