Bad Boy Peter

Chapter 17

Peter's POV.

AFTER SCHOOL

I texted mom saying I was heading to Ned's house to hang out. She agreed as long as I get my homework done. So, I head to Ned's for an hour getting some work done, before I head out on patrol. 

"Hey Ned, I'm going to head on patrol. If my mom calls, can you say I'm here?" I ask like always. 

"Yep, like always." He nods. 

"Thanks man see you later." I put on my mask, take off my clothes, revealing my suit before heading out the window. I web my bag to a rooftop before heading out on patrol. 

TIME SKIP (1 1/2 hours later, 30 minutes before he heads home.)

 I was relaxing before I needed to head home, when I heard a scream. (so basic but I have no other ideas) I quickly swung over to where the scream came from. I see a man close to 7 feet with a kniffy, going after a 5-foot woman. 

"Man, it's not cool to pick on someone smaller than you." I say jumping between the two. 

He says nothing. Just running towards me. I web his hand with the kniffy pulling his hand making him lose his balance. While he's on the ground I motion for the woman to run. As I see her running away, I feel a pain in my leg. Looking down I see, I was stabbed. 

I quickly web him to the ground before webbing the wound. I call the cops telling them what happened, before swinging back to my bag to properly wrap the wound. After it was cleaned and wrapped, I swung closer to the tower before walking inside to our floor. 

I tried to hide the slight limp I had and tried to head straight to my room. 

"Peter? You back?" Mama asks walking into the living room.

"Yea mama what's up?"

"Can we talk?"

"Sure." I say in a calm tone. She has nothing to hold against me, nothing to be scared of.

She pats the couch next to her as I sit, "I've been noticing you coming back from Ned's with a lot of injuries. Care to tell me what that's about?" 

"I don't know what you're talking about." I lie, pretty good to. 

"Peter you literally had a limp today. Tell me or your grounded till you tell me."

I stay silent for a moment. If I tell her and she gets mad I can always leave and never come back. I think before speaking.

"Fine... You know the Web crawler from Queen? Spider-Man?"

"I do but wha-Is he hurting you? and you're saying you're going to Ned's as a cover up? Oh, I swear-"

"Mama! Calm down. No. I am Spider-Man. Ned's is a cover up, but only to go out and patrol, I didn't want you to worry so..." I cut her off. 

"Pete, why didn't you tell me? I've started worrying about you cause of the injuries." She softens and pulls me into a hug. 

We sit in a hug for a while before I pull away. 

"So, you're not mad?" I ask.

"No, not at all. I wish you would have told me, but I get why. Just now, tell me when you're going out and if you get injured you tell me. Even if it's a tiny little scratch, but especially for the big things. So why were you limping?"

"I got stabbed in the leg. I wrapped it up and with enhanced healing it'll be healed in the morning." I say.

"Enhanced healing?" 

I then explain all of my powers and how it happened. We then talk for a long time before having dinner, just the two of us.
