Tristan watched Alice rub her web covered shoulder. For some reason she had chosen to wear a sleeveless shirt today. Which she had definitely borrowed from Claudia.
Tristan didn't want to throw himself flowers, but he almost thought she was proud of it. The thought seemed silly, but the young vigilante would think anything to turn his mind away from yesterday's events.
"Tristan."
He turned his head to his mother at Danny's bedside. Apparently some lowlife had given him a concussion looking for some cash. Tristan was undoubtedly going to keep an eye on the description given.
"Could you go get a plate at the food court please."
"Huh sure." Said Tristan grabbing the money she offered him.

Marinette waited until her son was out of earshot.
"What happened."
Wayzz flew out of the bracelet still around Danny's wrist rubbing his tiny head.
"Spider-Man happened, he possesses amazing strength that much I'll give him."
"Forty tons." Quietly spoke up Alice.
"Huh?" Piped up Claudia.
"I saw him lift a garbage truck over his head like it was toy, that's forty tons and frankly I think that's the most we've seen him lift. Now we find out he's strong enough to lay out our best fighter so bad he gets a major concussion post de transformation."
"This brute needs to be stopped." Sternly said Marinette deep in thought.
Claudia bit her lip, a deep sign of uncertain for her. Alice knew as much.
"I know things are rocky at best, but I think we should make him a holder."
Marinette slowly turned her flabbergasted expression towards her daughter.
"Me too." Added Alice rubbing her shoulder.
Marinette sighed pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Your shaken up, this isn't up for discussion. The title of holder is earned."
"Well that's rich." Huffed Claudia. "Spider-Man stopped a mugger in the middle of the night to help me. He turned himself into a human shield to protect Alice. Hell he even took the time to treat her burn."
"Is hasn't hurt since yesterday. I looked it up spider silk was used to treat burns before." Said Alice looking down at the patch of web with fondness.
"Plus, imagine how strong he'd be if we gave him a miraculous on top of his super strength."
"Exactly, there's a reason only normal humans have been chosen to be holders. That's too much power in the one hand of someone. If regular people like your grandfather were corrupted by power so easily, I doubt this Spider-Man will be much better."
Alice spoke up quietly.
"He could have killed Executioner you know. About as easily as you kill a bug with a rolled up newspaper... he held that kid as he died. If that's not self control I don't know what is."
Marinette's expression hardened.
"Spider-Man is a criminal. We battle only Akuma's because regular law enforcement can't. We are not to take law into our own hands. This conversation is over."
Claudia rolled her eyes and walked away ignoring the quiet protest of her mother.
Marinette sighed seeing Alice's downrotten expression.
