Chapter Two

After some hours, Peter woke up, wearing his funeral suit with teary puffed eyes from crying. He rubbed his head from the little ache from the head as he gets up and goes downstairs to check on Aunt May. She was reading a newspaper while drinking coffee, as he approaches near her and grabs a chair and sat beside her.

"Oh, so you're awake!" Aunt May smiled at Peter, but he didn't smile back and shook his head. She knows the pain he's suffering, though she also knows he cannot stand it. Without any second, she hugs Peter tightly.

"It's okay Peter. Many things come and go. Mr. Stark did whatever was right, even if he had to die." Aunt May said.

"No, May! You don't understand!" Peter pulled from the hug. "He promised me that he would be there for me! Why he had to leave us —" Peter started weeping in between and laid his head on the table while he cried.

"I understand your pain, Peter. Not me, but everyone is bearing this loss of losing Tony Stark. He was your mentor after all, he must have taught you the things if he left us for a reason?" May replied. Peter nodded. "Then what's wrong? He trained you that well, and I really know you'll grow up strong."

"But May.. I just can't live without him.. I.. I just really miss him.." Peter looked at his aunt with his teary red eyes.

"But that's what I'm trying to tell you. Tony might have left us, but did the world get any harm? No? It's completely safe, because he did the hardest choice that no one, even I could take. It was only one chance to save us all. For us."

"But.. the world never loved him, May. Rhodey said his entire life was a mess, lost parents who never loved him, knowing to be killed by somebody, bearing pain in the chest but fighting for the right, lost friends but still.. STILL he kept on fighting till the end. Facing anxiety attacks, still fighting. His whole life wasn't meant to die, May.. his entire life wasn't meant to die.. I never wanted that to happen too May.. I just don't want him to say unhappy.."

"Seems like you got a whole lot of history. It's great, but it told that he struggled though many obstacles and challenges came him in between. You can do that too, his whole life meant about that."

"But.. May.."

"It's gonna be alright Peter. Just keep hope, things would go better soon." May hugged him back as she rubbed his back this time, as Peter extended his arms and grabbed her tightly.

After the hug, Aunt May wiped his tears. "Okay now get yourself changed. I'll make you something to eat." She got up as she proceeded to the kitchen. Peter looked at her, as he smiled slightly but his pain doesn't let him take the joy. Though he has someone supportive, but he was just still weak. He cannot really live without Tony, who gave him everything no one ever had, made him a fully-fledged hero to fight for the right.

But, the problem was, he was not strong. They had to make him into one, but who can do that?
