2 months had passed since Peter's adpopted parents had left him in Ben's and May's care. It was gloomy day not that the weather had to do with it. It was just the little boy's silence all of a sudden that made the whole home's Atmosphere depressing. He had been good these two months. But today something was bugging the 6 year old. Peter was feeling so nervous that he kept glancing out of the window or towards the door like someone might burst through into their home. His gut was telling him that something bad is going to happen.

'I hope mom and dad are okay , I just don't know why am having this uneasy feeling that something might happen to them' peter thought

When Ben saw his nephew in distress he asks what happened, and Peter voices his thoughts. Ben being the understanding adult which he was tried to assure him everything will be fine. When Peter wasn't convinced with Ben. Ben thought maybe taking to him out  would be a good idea and so he did. Since it was Friday , May might get home late in evening at 7 from her shift. So the uncle-nephew duo decided go overboard while Ben trying to take Peter's mind of the disturbing thoughts that peter had told him.

They had Peter's favorite churros at a stand. Peter loved them so much. Ben then took him for little bit of shopping. The mall was surprisingly less crowded , lucky them. Ben asked peter to try on some clothes. Peter walked around and got t-shirts with science pun on them and looked towards Ben as if asking for his approval. Ben just chuckled shaking his head fondly "go for it champ, buy whatever you feel" he says encouraging his kid to go and try them on.

After trying 20 t-shirts , Ben bought him 6 shirts, pair of jeans , pair of sweat pants , hoodies and jacket, for some odd reason peter liked clothes that were oversized mostly the upper garments. They enjoyed their shopping. Ben took him to theatre were they enjoyed watching "Incredibles" they spent the lunch munching popcorn and slurping their drinks. So far Ben's plan was working , peter was happy and wasn't dwelling in his thoughts anymore.

Later around 3 in the afternoon they went to park that was 10 minutes from their home. Peter played in the swing as Ben gently pushed the swing. Ben was so happy seeing peter laugh, the way he giggles , gosh he loved the kid and wished peter called him "Dad" , but that's ok Ben will wait and  he will be  fine even if peter didn't acknowledged him as his father. Either way he loved his kid like his own son, who is incredibly kind, sweet and smart in many ways there's no denying in that. Ben wondered how Richard had instilled such good manners in the boy. He was proud of his brother and nephew(son).

Once Peter asked him to stop swinging , Ben gently carried his fragile little nephew in his hip. The smile on Peter's made him smile. Then kid around the same age as Peter laughed looking in their direction, peter looked clueless and Ben was confused mostly concerned.

That kid: oh my god ahaha..HAHAHA..

Ben: ahh kid..are you..ok ?

That kid : Haha haha...oldie oh god 

Some woman: EUGENE!!

That kid : *still laughing*

Some woman : sorry about him *drags the kid away*

Ben : that was one odd kid

Peter : *nods in agreement* yeah Uncle Ben

Ben : so do you wanna play in slide ?

Peter : yes uncle Ben

Ben let Peter down ,peter ran towards slide , he climbed the steps and slide with 'Weewww' he kept going again and again. Ben just sat on the bench near tree at distance as he watched his nephew play happily. Peter was going for the 6th time then Eugene kid from earlier pushed him off the step. Peter fell pretty hard and got hurt but he stood up only to get pushed again. Ben saw what was happening he kinda had dozed off for a few minutes as he had woken up to a strangled whimpering noise .
