Weight

"I remember us talking outside about the whole snap thing." Peter looked down for a split second to take a breath, he hated talking about the snap. "Then you went back inside, and then I remember seeing a flash, and then the rest of it is blank." Peter tried so hard to remember anything after that.
"Peter, Mysterio found you and he," MJ started before Peter interrupted.
"He took over me again, didn't he? Who did he make me hurt this time?" Peter said, scared of what the answer might be.
"He tried to hurt you Peter. He made you put a gun against your own head. He said that's what you wanted. Then Tony yelled at him to show himself, and called him a coward. So he showed himself, and then he took Tony. And you've been in a coma for a little over 24 hours." MJ said.
"He has my dad?"
"Yes." Ned answered.
"Then we need to find him, and get my dad back."

Back in the hotel room, MJ showed Peter what they had found earlier. They just found out the name of Musterio, Quentin Black. His wife was killed in a car accident that Peter was trying to prevent a couple years ago. Peter had remembered this because Quentin's wife was the only one who died. After his wife's death, Quentin's career went downhill. He lost his job shortly after. He's been working to destroy Spiderman ever since. He found out his secret identity, Peter Parker, and made his life as miserable as he could.

"Well, I guess I deserved it." Peter said.
"Deserved what? This guy making your life a living h*ll every chance he gets?"
"Yes. I couldn't save his wife. I remember that day. It tore me up inside because I wasn't quick enough to get to her. If I had been there a second early she would've survived. I'd do the same thing if it were me."
"That is BS! Peter you don't have to save everyone. No one ever told you it's your job to save everyone."
"But ain't it my job?"
"Well, yes, but there's gonna be people you can't save, and that's okay, but you can't keep putting the weight of the world on your shoulders. When you put the weight of the world on your shoulders, it weighs you down with it until it finally crushes you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Well, yeah, sort of."
"Peter, you put so much on your shoulders everyday. Every little pound you're adding is slowly crushing you, and one day it's gonna get to the point where a little part of you dies, and you won't recognize who you are anymore."
"I understand. I really do, but MJ how can I be a hero, and not put the weight of the world on my shoulders?"
"That's the one flaw I see in every hero. They think they have to carry the weight, but Peter all you have to do is find it within yourself to accept that your not gonna save everybody. I know it's hard to but once you do that you'll feel so much better about everything. Now let's go find your dad!"
