Peter grunted as he landed back in Queens in an alleyway.  Changing out of his suit he winced at his still healing wounds and knew right then and there his aunt was going to kill him.

It was almost 3 in the morning, his missed almost the entire day of school, and he was walking back inside with bruised ribs at least and a broken bloody nose.

"I'm so fucked."  He whispered and grabbed his bag before limping to the apartment.  Looking at his phone he winced at the large amount of missed calls, then his eyebrows raised into his hairline at the missed calls from Tony and a number he didn't recognize.

"Did he try to call me after I left?"  Peter mumbled before climbing the stairs to his apartment and trying to hold a groan in.

He could play it off if he lied and said he got jumped, that his wallet was stolen and he was worried they'd follow him home or some shit.

Turning his key into the door he winced as it creaked open, sadly the lights weren't off and may was not asleep.

Instantly footsteps came to the door and Peter winced.

"Peter Benjamin Parker what the hell is wrong with you thinking you have the right the skip school and disappear for how long without even answering my calls-". May froze after she saw his face and posture standing in the doorway.

"What the hell happened to you?!"  She shouted and Peter winced.

"Hey Aunt May."  He said softly his voice slightly rough from the cold air and shouting and she frowned walking closer.

"Peter... what the fuck happened?"  She asked again and Peter felt his gut twist at the worry she had, he hated making her worry.

She was so worried when Oscorp happened he never wanted to put her through anything like that again so he kept everything a secret.

"It's okay.  really I'm so sorry I worried you."  He said squeezing her hands gently in his and she frowned as he carefully walked further into the apartment and place his backpack down. 

His face morphed into pain as he bent over but he managed to hide it from May.

"Peter if you don't tell me what happened I'm calling the police- even Mr, Stark was worried you didn't even go to your new internship."  May said and Peter jerked upright before hissing and holding his stomach slightly.

"What?"  He asked turning and her standing in the living room with a worried expression hidden under her mock angry one. 

"I went on a small walk before the internship and some guys grabbed me and took my wallet.. didn't have a lot of cash so I walked around for a while in case they'd follow me home."  Peter mumbled and looked at his feet.

They lived in a lesser than nice area and Peter had actually been mugged before he had powers and ended up in the ER. 

"I'm so sorry you should have called or texted me what happened I'd have gotten you."  May said and Peter nodded.

"I guess I just couldn't think in the moment I just panicked and stayed in stores until I knew they were gone."  Peter said shifting on his feet.

May nodded, she had no reason to think he'd lie he was a good kid. 

"Alright.. I'm sorry.  Maybe you should stay home tomorrow to rest..". May said with a frown and Peter smiled.

"I'll be fine May."  He smiled and after some more scolding and worrying they split for the night.

Peter was still forced to stay home, he caught up on his sleep and woke up around 9:30.  Feeling better his stomach already had healed a decent amount.  He could tell his ribs weren't broken at least not anymore and he went to the living room.
