Avengers Alien Swarm

Chapter 5

May was sat on her sofa, she had just finished paying the bills and wanted to relax. Ever since she had found out about Peter being Spider-Man she had become more worried about him, but she had to admit. Ben would be proud of him. She looked at a picture of thirteen year old Peter and a younger looked version of her and Ben.

She couldn't help but think about the night Peter was dropped off there at the age of five. Somedays, when Peter was sleeping, she would watch him sleep and smile at how important that small boy had been to them.

She was taken out of her thoughts of the door opening and loud footsteps running up the stairs. She went into the hall and saw Ben smirking as he struggled to hold back his laughter.

"What's going on?" She asked. Ben looked at her with a smile.

"He's asked Wanda to be his date for the schools Christmas dance, now he's freaking out." Ben explained and May gave a small giggle.

She had met Wanda a few times and could see how close she and Peter were. To the older lady, it reminded her of her and Ben when they were younger. She did hope that Peter would ask her on a proper date.

"He's Spider-Man, fought against criminals and a humanoid lizard, and he's freaking out from a dance?" She laughed.

"Yeah. Kinda funny." Ben said before he walked up the stairs with May and entered his room.

"Peter, calm your horse's." May said to her nephew and placing her hands on his shoulders. "I'm sure your Uncle had some suits laying around."

Ben smiled at his best friend. "Hey Peter. I'm heading back to the Rustbucket. I'll see you later man."

"Okay mate." Peter replied as the two did thier handshake and Ben left. May instantly dragged Peter into her room and pulled out a fancy black suit.

"When did Ben get this?" Peter asked, wondering where it came from.

"Ben had this before you were born. His boss would sometimes hold party's and we'd go. I'm sure he would want you to wear this." May said as she handed him the suit and pushed him towards the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Peter walked out he bathroom and May's eyes instantly filled with tears. "My little boy is all grown up." She quietly said.

"May." Peter groaned as he hugged his Aunt. "I really miss him."

"I miss him to sweetie. He'd be proud of the young man you've become." May cried as he kissed his cheek. Peter smiled as he walked back into the bathroom and dresses back into his normal clothing. He put the suit into his wardrobe and the two Parkers went out for dinner.

While they were waiting at thier table May smiled at Peter. "So, who asked who?" She asked him. Peter felt the heat rise to his cheeks.

"Um...uh...I asked her." Peter stumbled. "She did admit if I took to long, she would've asked me herself."

May couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her face. "I find it funny how you freak out about a dance, but not when you fight bad guys." She said to him.

"It's a little different. When I stop bad guys, I have a mask. With a dance, I'm...me." Peter said.

"Don't you worry. I may be getting old, but I can teach you a few dance moves that will definitely impress Wanda." May said with am extremely childish smile. "Oh, and you might need to get her a corsage."

"A what-now?"
...
When the dance came around a few days later, May and Peter walked into the Avengers facility. Peter spotted Ben talking to Natasha and Gwen. He was surprised seeing Ben in a smart looking burgundy suit with his black and white trainers. He was surprised when he saw that Gwen was in a white floor length dress with her hair tied in a pony tail. He also saw that Kevin was dressed in a smart black suit.
