Spider-Man leaped and swung through the buildings and across the rooftops, searching everywhere for you. You and Elise had disappeared from where he last saw you, and he was now panicking. He stopped on top of a random rooftop to catch his breath and allow his heart beat to slow down.

"God what a shitty feeling," he mumbled to himself, referring to the heartache of not knowing where you were and if you're safe or not. After what happened with Gwen, he told himself he wouldn't let someone get close to him like this, but you seem to have left an imprint on his heart. Not knowing where else to look, he swung to his house, hoping Aunt May would know something.

He crawled into his room through the window and quickly changed. Running downstairs, he called out for May, wondering where she was. As he entered the kitchen he was met with a terrifying sight. "P-peter, save yourself!" Aunt May mumbled. "You be quiet," you said, your grip on her hair becoming tighter. Her head was pulled back slightly, exposing her very vulnerable neck to the silver knife between your fingers.

"Y/n what the hell are you doing?" Peter said holding out his hands. "Y/n is just making sure this transaction is as swift as possible," Elise smiled. "Are you behind this?! What did you do to them?!" Peter cried. "I wouldn't say I did anything to them. Just a little push in the right direction,"

"What exactly does that mean?" he replied. Elise looked at Peter confused before saying,"What? You didn't think Spider-Man was the only one with powers, did you?" A wave of shock washed over him. He realised that Elise had some sort of mind control power, and that this couldn't have been the first time she's used it on you.

"So what bit you? A radioactive lack of compassion and integrity?" Peter replied after regaining his composure. "Ha! Funny. I see you and Spider-Man share similar senses of humour. Speaking of which, you're gonna tell me where he is. Or Y/n here, your best friend, is going to slice open you're aunt's throat," Elise explained crossing her arms. Aunt May had a look on her face that urged Peter to run and call for help, or atleast save himself. "You wouldn't let that happen would you? To the mother you never had?"

"Y/n. Look at me. This is not you. I know she did something to your mind. It's not too late to stop this," Peter said sternly. "Did something to my mind? You truly have no clue what you're talking about," you replied, an eerie smile stretching across your face. Peter looked at you confused, urgently needing you to continue. "All Elise did, was open my eyes. She made me realise, and see you and Spider-Man's true colours," you explained.

"Our true colours?" he asked. "Do you want to keep asking questions, or do you want your aunt to live?!" you replied, pulling Aunt May's hair and making her neck further exposed. "You don't listen to them, Peter!" she grunted. "Oh but what if he doesn't have a choice?" Elise mumbled. "Don't even think about it," he replied. "Peter Parker. Tell us where Spider-Man is," she said, almost whispering. Her voice bounced off the walls and onto Peter's ear drums. "I can't do that," he mumbled. Elise was caught off guard for a moment. Why didn't it work? She thought.

She tried once more, repeating what she said moments ago. "Tell us where Spider-Man is Peter. Don't make me ask again." Peter realised her powers had no affect on him. So once again, he denied her request. Confusion and worry were the only words to express her concern. She didn't understand why her power wasn't working. "Alright Y/n. Slash open Aunt May's throat," Elise mumbled.

"Y/N DON'T YOU DARE!" Peter yelled. "Please Y/n you don't have to do this," May cried, clasping her hands together. You looked up at Peter, before readjusting your hand. "Okay okay okay! Fine! I'll tell you where he is! I'll tell you where he is! But if you let even a scratch or a cut on my aunt, you'll never know where he is," he explained, finally forfeiting.

"There we go. Was that so difficult?" Elise chimed, the sound of her voice doing nothing but further irritating him. "...He has a hideout. On the furthest outskirts of the city. When he's not fighting crime, he's there," Peter confessed. You and Elise looked at each other and nodded. The knife in your hand pulled away from May's neck and she was set free. She ran towards Peter and they embraced eachother in a desperate hug. "I'm okay Peter, don't worry, I'm okay," she mumbled in his ear.

"Y/n, you stay here. I'm going to check out this hideout," she instructed. "And if I find out you lied, we're gonna finish the job," she sternly uttered, glaring at Peter. Her face seamlessly shifted from hate and disgust to love as she turned towards you. "Y/n, my love. You're going to take good care of them, okay?" she said calmy. "You know it babe," you replied staring them down. Elise smiled at you before blowing a kiss in your direction and leaving the scene.

Peter and May were still in shock about the whole situation. How could you do something like this?

Is that what he gets for making friends again?

A/N: I DONT WANNA HEAR IT! I do not want to hear it, I know this is like 2 months late. I'm just gonna update when I can, cause when I force myself to write my mind either goes blank or what I write is SHITTY. So you know, quality over quantity.
