Spider-Man: Vigilante 3

Chapter Six

Peter made it back home. He slowly closed the door knowing Aunt May was probably asleep. He took off his mask and leaned on the door and let out a sigh of relief. "Yes!" He said to himself before turning around to see Victoria waiting for him. "Oh it's you!" Peter said happily. Victoria, seeing the bruises on Peter's face, froze her for a second. "Can we talk?" Asked Victoria."Let me change into something warm and then we can talk." Said Peter as he headed to his room to change. After Peter changed he went back to Victoria. Peter looked excited. "Why are you excited?" Asked Victoria as she crossed her arms. "I got him! I got Kingpin!" Peter's excitement filled the room. "Keep it down! My mom is still asleep!" Said Victoria with a look of anger. Peter was confused as to why Victoria was angry at him. "What's wrong?" Peter asked. "What's wrong?! Peter, you hurt my feelings earlier!" Victoria raised her voice at him. Peter was silent. "You got mad at me for trying to help." Said Victoria as she got closer to Peter. Peter finally caught on to what Victoria was talking about. "You went behind my back! You went and grabbed my stuff out of my room without asking me first! You went out and followed a crime lord!" Yelled Peter. Victoria took a few steps back. "I'm sorry for that. I should've told you first." She turned her head away from Peter. "All I'm trying to do is to keep you and May safe!" Said Peter quietly. Victoria turned her head and looked back at Peter. "What about you? Who is supposed to keep you safe?" Asked Victoria with tears in her eyes. "I worry about you Peter. You're my family! I worry day and night wondering if you will make it back home! I care about you way too much to see you hurt. It pains me to wonder if you'll make it home or not." Victoria just looked down at the floor. "After what Kraven did earlier this year I knew I couldn't just sit here and do nothing. It was my call to go out there and find a way to help you Peter. I'm old enough to make my own decision. I care way too much about you. I love you Peter." Peter was silent for a few minutes. Peter felt bad for yelling at Victoria. He then reached out and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry Tori. I'm sorry you felt like that." Peter let Victoria go. "You're right. You are old enough to make your own decisions. You are the older cousin. I can't tell you what to do." Victoria started to smile. "I'm sorry for everything. I love you too." Said Peter. After Peter and Victoria apologized they heard footsteps coming downstairs. It was Aunt May. "What are you two doing?" Asked Aunt May as she was halfway asleep. "We were just talking." Peter said with a smile. "Talk quieter." Victoria and Peter chuckled. "Yes Aunt May." Said Peter. "Good night. " said Peter and Victoria. "Yeah. Good night." Said Aunt May as she walked back upstairs. Peter and Victoria gave each other one last hug and then they both went to bed.
