IT'S BEEN A couple of hours since Amari, Miles, Gwen and Peter B had gotten off the bus. All four spider people had to stay in hiding to prevent getting caught by one of Kingpin's men.
Miles was a little worried about his uncle since he didn't come home, call or text him back.
They all decided to go visit blond Peter's Aunt May, they knew it was a risky move but figured that she may know some things about the collider and what Kingpin was up to.
Amari walked alongside Peter B while Miles and Gwen walked in front making small talk and laughing. The teenager turned to the man while tying her long curls out of her face.
"What's wrong, kid?" Peter B asked glancing down at Amari.
"I need your help" the girl said shoving her hands in her sweatpants pockets.
"With?" The man asked urging her to go on.
"These powers..." Amari started "I've been trying to adjust to them as much as I can but I'm not gonna lie...it's kinda hard. I mean, I can literally see and hear everything, everyone's heartbeat, I can see every stitch in everyone's clothing, hear tiny creaks in the floor boards, tiny insects moving around, people's conversations... it's just a lot and I just wanted to ask if you could give me a tip to help. I know you got a lot going on right now and I shouldn't really be pushing my problems onto you but-"
Amari was cut off by Peter B placing his hand onto her shoulder, stopping her from walking any further.
"Slow down, kid, I'm not surprised you want some help. I mean how are you even sane when you're literally hearing the whole world all at once. You probably got a lot going through your head and sleeping must be an issue, right?" Peter B watched as Amari nodded.
"I can't really help with your eyesight but... you ever tried focusing your hearing on one thing at a time?" Peter B asked letting go of her shoulder.
"Try focusing on your footsteps for now"
The girl sighed and looked down at her feet, listening to how her sneakers sounded against the pavement. Slowly, she started to tune out all the unnecessary noise around her until they all faded away.
