Still, for a human, she likes this Spider-Man. Peter, as he's finally introduced himself. It's the fact that he never hesitated once: he'd treated her as an equal even after he'd realized she wasn't "real." Just one test to verify, and then... respect.
She's never had that from humans. She's glad to have seen it.
