One Change, One Chance

The silence was slightly, slightly, less uncomfortable. But, *sigh* Clint could bear it.

He knew that Clint was still curious.

Everyone always is when he takes out his inhaler.

Peter just wanted to be treated like everyone else.

But, he's not everyone else, he's Peter Parker, and the Parker luck that he just loves will always be there. (Note the sarcasm)

First it was his parents dying on a plane crash during a business trip.

Then it was his uncle being attacked by a mugger that he had just watched as he ran past, too afraid.

Then Harry was all depressed about his dad and the business he had to inherit, so he had taken some of the chemicals that Oscorp industries had been producing, and tried to commit suicide. ( but luckily, peter telling harry just how important he was to peter, and it made their relationship even stronger than before.)

Then Gwen died. It was simple, her neck had snapped when she fell from the building. Her hair had gotten caught on a railing, from when she got pushed off. Too much of her beautiful blonde hair had gotten caught, so it didn't get pulled out our, pulled at the right angle with all of her body weight against it.

Now, Aunt May was getting worse and worse, he was hoping that this internship, if he got it, would turn into a job, so he could help pay more bills.

He already had a job at The Daily Bugle for taking pictures at everything triple J through at him.

Snap out of it Peter! There are way more people that have worse lives! Stop moping!

Currently, the kid was staring off into the unknown abyss of the crack between the two elevator doors.

About a minute later, he heard the voice of the teenager, so he had broken out of his trance then.

"So..."

"So..." he mimicked.

"You know why you never want to take the word of an atom?"

That was lame.

Why? Why? Why? Why would - no, should- I ever think that whatever that was was okay? I'm an idiot.

The word 'Why' was running through Peter's head faster than the speed of light.

"No, why?" Don't answer, Peter. Don't answer. Don't do it. Do NOT answer, Peter.

"Because they make up everything."

Goddamnit, you did it. Why would you do it? Why? why did you think that it is socially acceptable to be a giganto nerd face?

"I'm sorry, I make bad science puns periodically."

Peter, why, you're only making it worse. stop while you still can, even though you really shouldn't have started.
