The echo of the gunshot rang throughout the alley followed by a audible thump. Benjamin Parker laid there in a pool of his own blood as his seven year old nephew looked on in horror. Sound slowly faded back as the sobs of the young boy filled the air. Lifting his trembling hand he brushes the tears away all he could do was stare at the boy his brothers boy. Ben looked at every detail even with the younger features he saw him and his brother in Peter. Gently pulling the weeping boy forward he kissed his nephews head it was his final goodbye."Peter with great power comes great responsibility..." he couldn't finish his sentence as his last breath pushed past his lips. Ben wanted to tell him the with that power it is how he chooses to use it can make him a hero or his own villain. Those words stay with him not reaching his nephew.
In the small quite apartment May Parker stood in the kitchen washing the dishes as her niece used the rag to dry them off as they were handed to her. The phone rang and the woman turned the sink off as she went to grab the phone of the reserve. "Hello?" She said as dried her hands. "Yes, this is she." She said with a frown. As the silence draws out her face morphed into one of horror as she let a horrid wail rip through her throat. Her legs gave out as she curled into herself in a form of self hug.
The seven year old girl walks over to her aunt looking at her in confusion. After thirty minutes she stood up and shakily got her keys. "W-we need to go to the police station." She said and all the little girl can do was nod her head. Penny knew what was happening she wasn't dumb after all when people went to the police station someone is either arrested or dead and with Parker luck it was the second option.
The station was buzzing as usual when they got there,but once people noticed who the were the seemed to pause and give apologetic looks as they mumbled sorry. In the commissioner office Peter sat in a chair his feet unable to touch the floor. May ushered her niece and nephew out of the room so she could speak with her husbands boss.
Together the twins sat in a single chair. The girl heard her brother sniffle as they stared ahead at nothing. Opening her arms he leaned forward and laid his head on her shoulder as he sobbed. They couldn't believe that only two years ago they were in the same position,but the roles reversed.This is were it all changed for both of them,but Peter's sister wasn't prepared for what hell was to await her. He won't know and she won't let him. A life without their parents, without Uncle Ben became a nightmare all in itself.
Getting back home everyone was mourning in their own ways. May comforted her nephew for as long as she could,but locking herself in her room drinking and staying long shifts at work helped her though it. Peter was optimistic and tried to stay positive acting like it didn't bother him during the day, but at night in their shared room he let it all out the pity looks he got,constant sorry for your lose, and people saying it will all be better broke him. Penny if anyone looked at her she seemed unfazed and to her last living relatives she was emotionless when it came to the subject she did everything she could to stay out of the apartment, because Ben might have had a father son bond with Peter, but her and her uncle were even closer.
He told her stories about her parents and never kept her in the dark. Now he's gone like someone taking your raft right from under you leaving you stranded in the ocean. The youngest Parker girl couldn't mope around she had to keep a promise to take care of Peter even if that meant he got the last life jacket while she barely kept her head above water. Those are the sacrifices she had to make even if it was killing her on the inside everyone just thinks she's okay. Feelings that if constantly bottled up will burst in the worse possible way,but hey no one will know until then it will stay one of her few secrets.
