Spider-man took a deep breath and uncurled his fists, the three young women looked at him with fear. His voice was so strong that their hearts stilled for a moment and the most affected was Phoebe as she was the one who tried to invade his mind. She was so frightened internally she unconsciously tried to apologize.

"S......."

"My bad, I should have not flipped at you but refrain from reading minds without permission," said Spidey as he waved his hand and tried to ease the tension.

Phoebe gulped and quickly composed herself, her sisters did that too, but Esmé side eyed Phoebe.

"Where were we?" asked Spider-Man to erase the tension.

"You nearly killed your uncle's killer," helped Irma.

"Yeah that, one of my regrets of my life. I messed up many times in my life, that you will face too, on your level," advised Spidey after calming himself down.

The triplets looked deep in thought at his words, they know that mutant kind do face problems and as the next generation they all are groomed to uplift the mutants.

"What are the next questions?" asked Spidey as he resumed his eating.

"How did you overcome your challenges and was it hard?" asked Irma.

"You have to, there is no other way around it as the lives of innocent relies on your shoulders. The people you love, the people you want to save will always push you to overcome hard challenges." replied Spider-man calmly, Esme thought their leader should have been present here as she would have loved Spidey's interviews.

" Everything you said is well and good but don't people hate you? How can you even work for ungrateful people? Don't you ever think about leaving everything or be greedy for once?"asked Phoebe, gathering her courage as she hates righteous fools that always think world is sunshine and rainbows.

"If you had asked my 16-year-old, after getting his powers, that was he greedy? Yeah, I was and about why do what I do? Why don't I just leave everything behind? " he said then continued." I did stopped many times and always asked myself the same questions? The answer is the answer to previous question. If not me then who? I have responsibility towards everyone as I have the powers to save everyone,"

"And do you know one of my villains said the same thing, he said" One the people love more than a hero is to see them fail, fall and die trying. Even if i have done anything for the people, eventually they will hate me," quoted Spidey as he looked at the triplets, Phoebe gulped at his words.

"SO WHY DO IT?" snapped Phoebe in anger, she can't take this self-righteous man before her.

"Because I don't care what others think of me......mostly." at his answer Esme and Irma looked at him with their brows raised.

"I am determined to save and assist as many people as possible until my last breath. I possess the strength to take action, and I refuse to remain idle," he responded with such unwavering resolve that it left the sisters in awe, particularly Phoebe.

"Why?" asked Phoebe shocked.

"Because With great power, comes great responsibility," he stated with a smile, that stunned the sisters.

Spidey's broken phone pinged as he looked at the notification, his mouth turned into a frown as he quickly got up.

" Sorry, I need to go now, the city needs me," he stated quickly as he stuffed his face with last hot dog and made his way to move out.

"Wait up Spider-Man!" said Esme urgently as she stood up.

"hmm?" he asked as he turned around.

"Our kind is not looked favorably, Can we change that?" she asked hopefully.
