Cuts

"I found one individual whose blood is literally boiling inside of them." Karen told Peter.
"What's this individual's name?"
"Her name is Angelica Jones."
"Jones? Any relation to Michelle Jones?"
"No sir. There is no relation."
"Okay. Tell me about Angelica."
"Angelica is raised by her father Bartholomew. She is around the same age as you, and goes to your school. It appears that her grandmother died a month ago due to heart failure."
"Where is she right now?"
"According to her phone's GPS, she is in front of Midtown High." Peter quickly told Karen to 'go mute' and changed back into his suit. He jumped out his window and quick made his way towards his school.
When he arrived, he saw Angelica standing alone outside the school. "What are you doing at the school so late?" Peter asked jumping in front of her. She got super startled.
"Whoa. You scared me Spiderman." She said holding her heart. "What are you doing here anyways?" She asked smiling a little. That made Peter angry for some reason. Without thinking, he grabbed a hold of her, and pushed her towards the nearest wall.
"I'm here to make you pay for what you did!" Peter yelled. Angelica became terrified and couldn't stop the tears. "Really? Tears? You think cause your grandmother died, you can just use your powers to kill whoever you want?" Peter was screaming now. "You killed the only great thing I had in my life! You took my only living family away from me!" Peter forced himself to not cry. "You took everything from me! You took the last piece of me that enjoyed living away!" Peter couldn't stop his hand from slapping her across the face. She looked back at him with more tears in her eyes. She now had a big red mark on her left cheek. She started sobbing quietly.
"I am so sorry." She said in a mere whisper.
"What was that?" Peter said getting closer to her face.
"I said I'm sorry." She said louder.
"It's too late for apologies. You've already started 4 deadly fires. "
"I didn't mean to. I just got my powers, and I can't control them. My dad makes me go near buildings every night, mainly apartment buildings, and try to control my powers. I never meant to hurt anyone, and I most definitely had no intentions on killing anybody. Did you even notice these cuts on my arms?" She said lifting up her sleeve that showed cuts all over her arm. "These represent each person who I killed in those fires. I've felt so guilty that I've thought about doing worse than cutting." Peter let her go as she slid down the wall crying. That's when he noticed how much younger she looked than him.
"How old are you?" He asked.
"Fifteen." Peter was taken aback. How could he have been so cruel to her?
"I am so sorry. I was so blinded by grief, and I didn't pay attention to anything. I am so, so sorry." He said. He took his mask off, and newly down beside her.
"Peter?"
"You know me?"
"Of course I do. The whole school has been talking about your aunt. Oh my god. I'm the reason she's dead. I am so sorry."
"I can't forgive you for that. Not ever. Look, you obviously need help controlling your powers. If you come with me, I'll get you some help." He said holding out his had to help her up. She graciously took it. He told her to hold on to him, and he swung her to the Avengers Compound.
When they got through Peter's window, he told Angelica to stay in there while he got Tony. He went down to the labs, and found Tony. "Pete what are you doing up?" He asked worriedly.
"Tony, I made a mistake." He told Tony the story, and Tony followed Peter to his room to find a frightened Angelica. Tony just took her hand and guided her to the scientist floor of the compound which was filled with scientist that Tony trusted with his life.
"Guys this is Angelica." Tony said. "She needs help with her abilities. I trust that y'all will take good care of her, and show improvement by next week." He, for no reason, finished the sentence by putting his sunglasses on and leaving the room by stepping onto the elevator.
