I sit next to Ned on Peter's floor as he shows me how to attach the LEGO pieces together. I squint my eyes and connect two grey pieces.

"This is interesting, I always thought it was more easy." I state looking down at the instructions trying to read them.

"Well.. I mean this is a pretty complex set. I have easier ones unopened if you want I'll bring them to you so you can try on your own?" Ned asks politely. My smile widens like a kid in Christmas and I nod my head.

"Yeah! That would be so amazing. Thank you so much Ned." I say pulling him into a friendly hug. Ned freezes and I pull away confused why he didn't hug me back but I look up to the ceiling to see Spidey boy crawling along it.

"Oh shit." I whisper. Peter looks down and falls to the ground.

"What was that?" May asks concerned from the kitchen. I walk out of the room to let Peter explain that whole situation to Ned.

"Oh nothing much May." I shrug and I sit on the counter next to her while she was trying to put together a turkey meatloaf. She groans and throws away the food.

"I'm going to order food out." May starts before walking towards Peter's room,

"That turkey meatloaf recipe is a disaster. Let's go to dinner. Thai? Ned, you want Thai? Peter start.... put clothes on." May says closing the door leaving his room with a confused look on her face.

"Told you. Nothing much." I shrug before getting on my leather jacket.

I sit next to Peter across from May and the Thai restaurant. We all sit silently and awkwardly, "What's the matter? Thought you loved larb. It's too larby? Not larby enough. How many times do I have to say "larb" before you talk to me? You know I larb you." May says trying to get Peter to laugh but it doesn't.

But it does get me to snicker at the small joke she tried. Peter explains how the internship is a lot of work and school and how he is just tired. I feel bad for Spidey, I mean he had a semi normal life until Tony came along ruining his life.

I ignore May and Peter as I stare at the news report on the TV. That poor man, he was nice to me when I was in his shop. But who had that technology to destroy a small shop like that? And why would you rob an ATM store when you have those weapons.

"If either of you see that, I want you to turn away and run. Do you understand me?" May states pointing a finger and Peter and I both of us nod our head and finish eating.
