The smell of cold mingled with the dust and blood and made his nose wrinkle.
"This place smells, like, so bad." He said, looking around.
"Did you expect the invisible island of death to smell nice?"
"No... Well, I didn't think about how it would smell... But if I had I wouldn't have thought it would smell this bad!"
"I can't do anything about it. So stop complaining."
They stumbled through the wreckage for a while, before Peter gasped.
"Jeez. I know I'm supposed to be a superhero and everything... But seeing people like this..."
The bodies of three people had crushed under a fallen building. They looked young.
"People do call it the island of death for a reason."
"I guess so..."
He turned away from the bodies and tried to focus his attention onto something else.
There was a strange mask on the floor, which he picked up.
"What is this?..." He turned it around in his hands.
It was white, with a large smiling mouth cut into it and a symbol on the side burnt on. It was a bird. Peter didn't know what type of bird. But it was definitely a bird. The wings were spread out and it was looking up.
"Put it down Peter. It's not yours."
He gently dropped the mask.
"Why are we here? These people died. The stuff's true."
"Yes. And we need to figure out why it's true."
"Aunt May'll have a fit once she finds out I'm here."
"She doesn't need to know. You went on a superhero trip. No need to tell her where."
"I guess... I just- I told her I wouldn't lie to her anymore. And that's lying."
"No. It's not explaining."
"But-...but-..." He sighed. "Fine..."
