My Hero

Disclaimer: I don't own spider-man or the x-men

AN- hi everyone this is my first fan-fic ever feedback would be awesome takes place in an AU where after Gwen dies from the green goblin and Kitty is their to pick up her friend's broken heart enjoy.

Peter looked at the ceiling of his room. That's mostly what he did nowadays other than go to school and do homework. He had already made up his mind after Gwen had died he would be spider-man no more.

He couldn't even sleep most nights. He kept having the same nightmare over and over Gwen's lifeless body in his arms.

"Peter!" his aunt may called from downstairs "Katherine is here to see you peter"

Peter heard her footsteps coming from the stairs he didn't want to see anyone not now. The pain was still to fresh in his mind.

*Knock knock*

"Peter it's kitty open up please," she sounded like she'd been crying, " it's been three months peter come on open up." Kitty sighed and looked down the hall making sure aunt may didn't see her phase through the door and when the coast was clear she phased into peter's room

When Kitty saw him her heart broke. Peter looked like hell his hair was all messy and greasy and his eyes were red from when he was crying. He looked like he hadn't bathed in days and smelled like it too. Peter was a shell of his former self.

"Kitty I don't want to talk about it Gwen's dead and there was nothing I could do to save her it's all my fault every time I go be spider-man its either the city hating me or someone gets hurt and theirs nothing I can do about it ".

Kitty slowly walked toward him and sat next to him on the bed holding his hand tightly and looking into his brown eyes she spoke softly to him " I know your hurting peter and I am too but you have to let it go. Gwen wouldn't want you to stop being spider-man, you helped people peter you made people like me believe that we can make a difference in this world too not just heroes like the avengers even an ordinary person can be a hero peter what I'm trying to say Peter is you're my hero peter Parker."

Peter looked up at her she was starting to cry so peter did the natural thing to do he got up from laying on the bed and hugged his best friend

"Kitty", He whispered softly in her ear "thank you" and held her for a little longer finally they were broken apart from the embrace by the sounds of police sirens

Peter looked at the Spider-Man costume he had lying in his closet then looked at Kitty who gave him a warm sweet smile that only Kitty Pryde could give.

" What are you waiting for Peter go out and do your thing and don't worry I'll cover for you if your aunt knocks or something" Peter and smiled as he got up and put on his costume.

When Peter looked at himself in the mirror with his suit on for the first time in months he felt good like it's just what he needed he looked at kitty who had his mask in her hands she lid it on his head she kissed him on the cheek lightly before covering the rest of his face.

"go em pete"

Peter opened the window and fired a web line towards a building and in an instant he was gone.

Kitty's hero was back.
