When Nick Fury had left, Peter and I sat down on the sofa. We both didn't say anything for a solid 15 minutes. All I could do was just stare at his face, and think to myself: What am I supposed to do now?! Apparently, Peter recognized my facial expression and asked me if I was okay. "No Pete, of course, I'm not okay!" I said. "I mean, I just found out I have superpowers, how could I possibly be okay?" Peter looked at me and said: "would you believe me if I told you I thought that too when I first found out about my powers?" Yes, I said. Of course, I would believe you, I mean we are twins after all.

He told me I could ask him as many questions as I would like, but I only had one. "What do you think mom and dad would say if they were here?" Peter looked at me like he had just been punched in the face. "I- well... I really don't know for sure, but I think they would be proud of us", he said. He looked like he was about to cry, so I hugged him. There we sat for a couple of minutes. Just hugging each other. 

When we got up, he told me he had a gift for me. Peter walked to his bedroom, and a minute later he came back with a little box. He gave the box to me and told me to open it. I was surprised. Was this really the right time for a gift? I mean it would be rude not to accept it right? Anyway, I opened the little box. Inside I saw two things that looked a lot like the weird bracelets my brother used to shoot webs. 

Peter told me these "webshooters" were an exact replica of his own, and that I could use them to shoot webs out of my wrists. He told me he had made enough web fluid for both of us. And that he would like it if I tried them.
