Aunt May: Oh, and speaking of Tony, I called him before I called you. I know you didn't want him to know, but he needs to. I hope you're not mad. I love you, Peter. Have a good day and get lots of rest. Call me if you need me.

"Hey, Peter! You're awake! How are you feeling?"

"I feel like I've been hit by twelve buses that had twelve buses inside each of those twelve buses."

"So not great?"

"Am I supposed to feel this bad?"

"Well, it's not uncommon. Did you take the medicine I left you on the counter?"

"Not yet. I haven't even gotten out of bed yet."

"Well, try the medicine and if you still feel like you've been hit by however many buses, we'll see about calling Tony and having you get seen or something."

"I don't need seen."

"Peter... I don't know why you feel the need to hide this from Tony."

"I just... I don't know. I don't want him to see me as some weak link. Or something."

"Oh, Pete, sweetheart. He doesn't see you like that."
