peters pov

I arrive home after school and go straight up to my room to finish my homework. ned couldnt come over in the end because he remembered a huge project he had due soon. after about 25 minutes, wanda comes in and hugs me from behind. i smile up at her and she goes over to my bed and lies down. ive pretty much finished my homework by now so i go down and lie with her, wrapping my arms round her protectively.

she asks me how my day was and i explain everything that happens with Flash and how i have no idea what i should do.

"maybe try to figure out what he had going on in his life? see if it was a good enough reason to bully you for so long?"

i nod and kiss the top if her head.

————————————[few hours later]

after dinner i decide to go out on patrol so i go to my room and double tap my watch, my spidey suit forms around me. i hop out my window, swinging through the city, my worries of flash left behind in the tower for now.

i sit on a quiet roof for a while until i hear a scream. i see a woman cornered in an alleyway by a guy with a knife. im shocked to see flash running down towards the woman and the man, an angry look on his face.

"hey man! get away from her!" he shouts, inching towards the man. the guy with the knife spins around and steps menacingly towards flash, giving the woman enough room to escape.

"you'll pay for that!" the man runs at flash before i jump down in between them.

"dude. didnt you hear that stabbing people is kinda illegal? id put that down if i were you." he runs at me and i jump up out of the way. knowing that flash is a safe distance away, i launch myself at the man and flip over him, webbing up his knife. he looks at me confused and even more angry before running at me again. i flip over him and web him to the wall before calling the police.

"thanks Flash" i nod at him.

"no problem parker, i told you ive changed" he smiles at me with a hint of sadness in his eyes, before turning around and leaving.

i have a small inner battle with myself before deciding on following him. i hop up onto a nearby roof and quietly follow him. he looks around cautiously before opening the door to a building and entering.

i crawl down the wall and poke my head down to look in the window. he sits down on a bed with a few other beds littered around the room. its an orphanage.

i crawl back onto the roof and lean against a wall, thinking for a bit. after a while of taking in what i had just seen, i swing back to the tower and collapse onto my bed, still unsure of what to do.

wanda comes in after a while and gets in bed with me, turning off my light on the way in.

"so when i was on patrol, i saw flash and he tried to help this girl who was being threatened by a guy with a knife and then i stepped in and after i followed him and found out he lives in an orphanage snd now i dont know what to do!" i ramble all in one breath.

she lays her head on my chest, snuggling in closer to me "i think you should talk to him. its his life. if he wants to tell you he will"

"youre right" i nod and snuggle down the bed further, pulling wanda in closer to my bare chest before closing my eyes and going to sleep.

————————————[next day at lunch]

"hey uh flash?" i tap his shoulder and he spins around, giving me a week smile. "can we talk?"

"sure" he gets up of the bench and we walk through the canteen until we find an empty bench. "so i know you said you had a lot going on and id like to know? i uh i followed u home last night after patrol and saw where you live..." i trailed off as flash looked down sadly.

"y-yeah i can explain." he sniffles slightly and i feel bad. "so um ever since i was little, my parents always expected the world of me. and if i didnt deliver then my dad uh my dad used to hit me." he looked away but i still nodded.

"when i was 10, my mum died and my dad just got even angrier. he would hurt me even if i did well. but at this point it wasnt just hits, it was bottles being thrown and worse. when i came back after being blipped, i found out that my dad had been arrested for various things and so i uh i went to an orphanage." he looked down as a small, barely noticeable tear rolled down his cheek. "i used to take it out on other people, namely you. i know this is no excuse for how i behaved but id really like it if you could try to forgive me?"

i just nod silently "hey would you uh want to come round the tower? tonight maybe? we could try to sort out everything in the past between us?"

"id like that" he sniffled and i got up, offering him my hand, which he took.
