The next morning arrives as I wake up feeling the morning sun shining brightly through my window as I get up out of bed and head towards the shower shortly after I finish showering I head back into my bedroom to get dressed. Once I finish getting dressed I head out of my room and towards the front door opening it as I begin making my way towards the subway when all of a sudden I feel my phone buzzing in my pocket making me pull it out not bothering to see who it is as I press the answer button.
"Hello." I said "Bree? Bree, it's me. Can you meet me in about 5 minutes at the ferry terminal?" He asked me "uh, yeah sure. But why do you need me to go with you?" I asked him "I'll explain when I get there." He replied "okay." I said before hanging up and putting my phone back into my pocket as I began sprinting towards the ferry.

Once all the passengers are safe and secure off of the ferry I look around for Peter feeling a hand grab my wrist making me jump in fright "hey, it's me. Let's get out of here before someone sees us." He said gently wrapping his arm around my waist as he swung us to a building near by as I sit down on the edge as I glance behind me seeing my father's suit flying above the building.
"Hey, can you give me a minute alone with him?" I asked as I glanced over at Peter "yeah, I'm gonna head to my apartment. Call me if you need me." He said as he swung off leaving me alone with my dad "previously on my daughter screws the pooch. When I told you to stay away from this. Instead, you helped your friend hack a multimillion-dollar suit so, you two could sneak around behind my back doing the one thing I told you not to do." He said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he looked at me.
"Is everyone okay?" I asked him "no thanks to you." He replied "no thanks to me? Those weapons were out there, and I tried to tell you about it but, you didn't listen. None of this would've happened if you had just listened to me. If you even cared, you'd actually be here." I said looking up at him seeing his suit open making me take a frightful step back seeing him standing in front of me "I did listen, Bree. Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Do you know I was the only one who believed that you would be an aspiring hero? Everyone else said I was crazy for believing in my 14-year-old daughter." He said slowly stepping towards me.
"I'm 16." I muttered quietly "no, this is where you zip it, all right?! The adult is talking. What if somebody had died tonight, huh? Different story, right? Because that's on you. And if you died. I feel like that's on me. I don't need that on my conscience you're my daughter I can't lose you." He said "yes, sir. I'm sorry. I understand." I mumbled "sorry doesn't cut it." He replied "I-I...I just wanted to be like you." I said with tears brimming my eyes "and I wanted you to be better." He replied looking at me with disappointment in his eyes.
"I-I'm sorry daddy." I whimpered "alright, it's not working out, so you're done. I'm gonna need your suit and weapons back, sweetheart." He said "for how long?" I asked him "forever." He said "no, no, no, no. Please, daddy. This is all I have I'm nothing without these things." I whined "if you're nothing without these things, then you shouldn't have it." He replied "I-I...I don't have any other clothes." I whimpered with tears streaming down my face "okay, we'll sort that out." He said.

Making my way through the hallways of Peter's apartment complex finally arriving at his front door I knock on the door lightly feeling the tears streaming down my face before looking up at the sound of the door opening "Bree? Honey, what's wrong?" May asked me with a worried look on her face "h-hi May-uh, c-can I c-come in?" I asked her "of course sweetie." She replied opening the door letting me in as I take a seat at the table placing my head in my hands while the tears flowed down my face "Peter!" May yelled as he ran into the dining room stopping in his tracks at the sight of me "Bree? Oh, my god. What happened?" Peter asked me as he took a seat next to me placing his hand on my shoulder gently "I-I screwed up. M-my dad and I got into a fight and I-." I whimpered while glancing up at him "oh, Bree. I'm so sorry." May said while wrapping her arms around me gently.
"W-would it be alright if I stay with you guys for a little bit?" I asked her "sure you can sweetheart. Your welcome here any time." May replied as she nodded her head at me "I'm gonna take her to my room to get her some clothes." Peter said as he grabbed my hand gently pulling me towards his bedroom "what the hell happened back there?" He asked me "my dad took my suit and weapons away. He said that I'm done." I whined "I'll talk to him. I'm gonna get this sorted out for you." He said cupping my cheek gently as I nodded at him "thanks Peter." I mumbled lowly.
