Chapter Twelve: Helpless
🕷
Peter and I turned to face May, ready for the worst. She had just openly said one of the highest swear words in front of us. That gave us a hint of the severity.
"May-" Peter started.
"Peter Benjamin Parker..."
"Wait! I- We can explain. Don't freak out! If you freak out then I'm gonna freak out. Would you believe these are just costumes?"
May's eyes widened as she put the pieces together, "You're Spider-Man and Riptide! Why didn't you tell me? Stark Internship my ass! I'm so young I should not be feeling this old. I specifically told you to run away from danger! And you (Y/n), Riptide showed up when you did. That's why you're so close!"
"You're freaking out!" Peter yelled back, gripping his hair. If I wasn't panicking, I would have been laughing, "I can climb walls did you know that? Mr. Stark took me to Germany. I got beat up by (Y/n) but we're cool now. My suit has an instant kill setting and I can lift a bus!"
"You didn't need to tell her your life story," I whispered, fearing for my life.
May stepped forward, grabbing us by the ear, "Do you two have any idea how dangerous that job is? How many times have you been hurt?"
"I can heal people," I yelped, leaving out the part about the damaged cells hurting my body more than helping, "We're okay!"
Aunt May let go of us hesitantly. She stepped back and pinched the bridge of her nose. I could tell she wanted to break something, maybe our arms.
"May we can handle ourselves," Peter started.
"You can't even do your own laundry," May snapped back.
I chuckled. Peter sent me a desperate look. "May, I've been doing this hero thing for a while. Peter... Peter has less experience, but I trust him with my life. I have trusted him with my life. We're saving people's lives May."
May let out a long sigh, eyes flicking over both of us several times, "Fine. Peter, I'll let you keep doing this but keep me updated. I want to be a part of your life. And, you need to promise me that no matter what you'll stay alive."
"I promise May."
"Good... It's mac night. I want explanations and back stories while we're eating."
"I'll call my parents and tell them I'm eating dinner over here then," I walked back to the bathroom to change out of my uniform.
"How did you get so close to her? You're awful at talking to pretty girls?" I heard May talking to Peter through the crack in the door.
