Peter's POV
You know, a hero never sleeps. He never ever gets a break, especially during Christmas. You'd think that the villains would actually have Christmas spirit and forget about killing the innocent for just one day. Well, no, that doesn't happen, especially here in New York, the city that never sleeps. What am I doing right now? Battling the Goblin! That's my best friend Harry's dad-turned-ugly, green monster.
"That menace must be stopped! He's causing trouble all over the city! He's a menace to society! Spiderman must be put to sleep for good!"
Ugh, even he can't stop yelling at me! Gosh, J. Jonah Jameson, get a break, it's Christmas!
"We must find that menace at all costs and stop him from leading his friends to a riot across the city! We must stop the web-headed crawler before he spoils Christmas!"
Spoil Christmas? He's doing that already with his awful moustache! Bad joke. Right, where were we? Oh right, the Goblin!
Well, it took a while, but I defeated the Goblin with some ease. He probably wasn't at a hundred percent because, you know, it's Christmas! But whatever, I'm busy playing Injustice: Gods among Us with Luke Cage, aka Power Man, Danny Rand-Kai, the Zen-master Iron Fist and Sam Alexander, Nova the Buckethead. Funny no-one calls him that anymore.
"Haha, another win for the power man!" That was Luke.
"Another impressive win… again!" groaned Danny.
"You got lucky again, bro! I want a rematch!" demanded Sam, and he threw my pad onto the floor. Well, it would have hit the floor but I had to use my webs to save it.
"Hey, hey, hey! Easy on the pad, man!" I tried to calm Sam down. "It's not every day you lose… well, it is every day you lose… that didn't come out right! But it's not every day you need to try and destroy my pad!"
"Sorry man, but I've used Superman, Batman and Wonderwoman, but I still can't win!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You lost with Wonderwoman?! How?" I was shocked.
"He's Sam." Danny.
"Well, since I'm undefeated—"
"As usual," Danny, Sam and I groaned in unison with our heads lowered in shame. We let Luke continue.
"I'm gonna go make a protein shake and get something to eat downstairs.
"Yes! A chance to win!"
Of course it was Sam who said that, but Danny allowed him to win two times already tonight, just to build up Sam's confidence so he doesn't destroy my pad. Those Xbox 360 controllers cost a lot of money, you know! Okay, just $19, but we're planning on getting the One, and we're selling our 360 games along with the console to get it. That is if Aunt May doesn't get it for Christmas for us. I talk too much, right? Okay, I'll stop. By the way, I need to check on Ava. That's Ava Ayala, White Tiger!
I knocked on the door, and it took some time, but it opened. Ava was feeling down, but she looked so beautiful in her PJs.
Yeah, I said she looked beautiful. Lately I've been falling in love with Ava. And I really mean in love with her. It just happened, but something is just telling me that she's noticed and feels the same way.
"What is it? Are you alright?"
"No, yeah, I'm alright. I'm just, you know…" She slowly ran her hands through her beautiful, straight brown hair. She was trying to hide some tears. Something was upsetting her.
"Something's wrong; you can tell me anything. You know that, Ava."
She sighed. "Okay, come in." I strolled in and sat on her bed. She shut the door and we sat down on her purple bed. I was literally sitting right next to her and she gave a nervous smile.
"You know," she started, "remember when we fought Kraven and I told you about—"
I didn't want her to mention her dad, so I cut her off with a simple, "Yeah, I do."
I don't want to go into detail with what happened with her dad, so picture this:
White Tiger (Ava's dad) vs Kraven.
Kraven uses his spear and puts it through White Tiger's body. Before he dies, White Tiger gives daughter Ava the amulet which gives the powers of the White Tiger. Ava disappears.
That's what happened. I felt sorry for Ava, because I know exactly what it's like to lose a loved one, especially when he has given you six powerful words to live with for the rest of your life.
"Well, lately I've been missing him." I put a finger under Ava's right eye to remove her tears for her. "And it's almost Christmas, so I'm…" She started to really cry hard, so I put her head to my chest and there-there'd her.
I tried to comfort her, but I might have held her for way too long. She didn't seem to mind, but I could feel my groin getting really hard.
"Ava, you know I'm always there for you," I aforementioned. "You'll be fine. You miss your dad, I miss my Uncle Ben. They both taught us many great things, and it's our choice to listen to them. While they may not be with us now, they're with us in spirit. I don't think they want us to dwell on the past. Let's just… be happy right now, okay?" I got up and kissed her forehead. "I'm going to sleep now, okay?"
She raised her head and smiled. "Goodnight, Peter."
You just saw what happened! Am I awesome or what? And that is how you comfort an upset girl, but only give her a kiss on the noggin if she's your crush!
