(Peter gasps, having just woken up. He quickly reaches for his face to see if his mask is still on. It is.
He takes off his mask and looks over at his shoulder to see that it's bandaged up, but also finds Liz laying by his side, sleeping like an angel.)PETER: (whispering) "Pssst. Liz?"
(We see Liz gracefully wake up and she turns to Peter.)
LIZ: "Hey Peter...hey, you wanna hear something funny?"
PETER: "Yeah, sure."
LIZ: "You're gonna laugh too, it's hilarious..."
PETER: "Ok..." (he smiles in anticipation for this "joke")
LIZ: "Yeah, I fell asleep laughing at the fact that you just ran towards a screaming couple, each with guns, WITHOUT YOUR POWERS!"
(She gets up and walks towards her window. Disappointed in himself, he walks towards her.)
PETER: "Hey..."
(Liz, interrupting Peter, hugs him tightly.)
LIZ: (apologetically rambling) "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just processing all this and you could've died and I'm the one who called you here, so if you died-" (she pauses for a moment, getting choked up on the thought)
(They separate)
PETER: "It's ok...it's not your fault."
LIZ: "I just felt like me calling you here, not knowing you didn't have your powers for whatever reason...I felt like I was sending you to your death."
PETER: "I feel like I should fill you in on the last couple weeks...so first of all, Aunt May is ok." (Liz breathes a sigh of relief) "She's at her apartment and everything..."
LIZ: "How did it happen? I thought you told me-"
PETER: "-That's the part I was gonna get to. So I found the guy who drugged her and we fought, but he blind-sided me and next thing I know, I'm playing his game. He made me make a choice: Aunt May...or Spider-Man and I'd choose Aunt May every time."
