Author Note: WARNING! MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH... I'm so sorry...
Peter had grown into his powers so much. He was you "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man."
Peter had taken on his new role with stride and was becoming amazing at it.
Lately I had found myself still stuck on Madam Gao's words…
"You will have a powerful child someday…"
It still puzzles me and strikes me as odd… Mainly because I don't date… Guys tried dating me in school, but I always ignored them... I did go to prom with one guy, but he only wanted one thing, so I ended up punching him in the nose and called Uncle Ben to come pick me up... Which Uncle Ben and Peter both showed up wanting to speak to the date…
Dating wasn't my scene... I never felt like dating… It was like my heart was already taken but by who? I've felt my soul… My heart belonged to someone else, but I didn't know who...
Being told I would have a child someday baffled me… Who would be my child's father? Who would I even give myself to that I'd allow that to happen? I wanted answers I wanted to know… But, how do you? It's not like I can place an Ad somewhere asking.
I sighed and wished I knew what was coming my way…
With Peter's ever-growing power and strength also came his mood. He was a teenager now and with being a teen came his moody attitude that was starting to drive us all nuts.
"I'm just saying he's being a huge pain in the rear… He's acting out... Coming in late... We should lock his windows." Uncle Ben was fuming over Peter being late again. I plopped on the couch... And watched as Uncle Ben ranted about Peter… Peter finally slinks his way inside.
"Oh, there he is…" Peter looks up and sighs… As he goes towards his room.
"Oh no you don't family meeting now!" I cringe as Uncle Ben snaps at Peter. Peter groans and walks toward the living room… Aunt May gives him a small smile as Peter sits down next to me.
"So… Peter… We don't give you too many rules... We don't try to be hard on you... But when you can't be home at a decent hour... When you act out at us… Things need to change..."
Peter rolls his eyes and shoots me a look. I just sigh.
"I don't know why you act like my dad. You are not my dad." My eyes widen at Peter. That was a low blow and it angered me.
"Peter Benjamin Parker…" I snapped as Uncle Ben shook his head at me.
"I love you Peter like you were my own son… I love you and only want the best for you…" Peter just stands up and glares at us all.
"I don't need this from you... From any of you..." Peter snaps and storms out slamming the door behind him...
I tracked down Peter and grabbed him by his shirt.
"How dare you treat Uncle Ben like that… He has done so much for you... Uncle Ben loves you so much… What is your problem." Peter just glares at me. I shake my head at him.
"I've never been so disappointed in you…" Peter looks down at me...
"I just want to do my best… I was given these powers for a reason… I want to please everyone." I sigh and sit beside him.
"You are doing the best you can Pete… You are doing good... But you can't treat Uncle Ben and Aunt May like that... They love you so much..." Peter nods and wipes his eyes.
"I didn't mean what I said… I didn't" I pulled him into a hug.
"I know Pete… Come on let's go apologize." I take his hand as we walk back to the apartment... Both Peter and I were a little hungry decided to stop at a little store to grab some food… We were walking up and down aisles when….
"PUT YOUR HANDS UP! PUT EVERYTHING IN THE BAG." Peter and I drop down as a masked guy starts to rob the store. My first reaction was to attack but…
"What should we do?" Peter whispers… I want to help, and I know Peter wants to but I feel it's best we just be quiet and let it happen.
"We don't want to draw unnecessary attention or cause someone to get hurt…. Let's just stay down and be quiet." Peter nods his head as we quietly sit down… Everything seems to be going fine… When all of a sudden, the bell on the door rings and in walks in someone… This caught the robber off guard as he fired off his gun...
"OH MY GOD… HE'S BEEN SHOT! CALL 9-11!" I watch as the robber runs out as the store clerk starts calling for help. Peter and slowly peak around to see if we can help when…...
"UNCLE BEN!" My heart falls as there laying in a pool of blood is Uncle Ben… I quickly press my hands to his wound… To try and stop the bleeding my eyes wide my heart beating fast.
"No…. No… This… Can't…. No..." Peter starts to gasp out trying not to cry. My heart is breaking... I add pressure. My eyes filling with tears… My heart breaking.
"Help is on the way..." The store clerk shouts. Peter holds Uncle Ben's hand... Uncle Ben whispers something in Peter's ear… My hands start to glow yes, yes, I can hear Uncle Ben...
"You are going to be okay I can heal you..." I go to place my hands on his wound… When Uncle Ben grabs my hands…
"No… Renee… It's my time... I've lived a long good life… let me go." I start to cry…... "No… No… I can heal you… I can save you Uncle Ben…" He takes my hand and smiles at me.
"Renee... You have been everything I've ever wanted in a daughter… I'm so glad I got to have you for my daughter…" I cry as he smiles small at me... He kisses my head… as he looks at me and Peter.
"Tell Aunt May… I love her… I love you both so much…. Protect one another… I'll always watch over you guys…." Ben starts to cough and closes his eyes… His hand goes limp… My eyes widen.
"No… Uncle Ben…" I cry onto his chest as Peter stands up slowly… He looks around…
"Renee stay with him…. "I look up as Peter storms outside my eyes widen as he runs outside…
I stay with Uncle Ben's body as he gets taken away. I need to find Peter. I set my sights after him and go looking for him… I search everywhere when I hear screams and yells.
"I didn't mean to shoot him... It was an accident… I didn't want to hurt anyone…" I watch as Peter dressed in his Spider-Man suite dangling the guy over a roof.
"Peter… "Peter looks at me and shakes his head as he goes to drop him. "NO! Peter, we do not kill... We are not him… Uncle Ben wouldn't want this… We are not killers… You are not a killer." Peter looks down and pulls the guy back and lays him back on the ground.
I run to Peter and hug him close we both cry together… Mourning the loss of Uncle Ben…
We left Uncle Ben's killer at the police station.
Courtesy of your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
We mourned and missed Uncle Ben… Losing him left a giant hole in our hearts…. Uncle Ben was one in a million… But We had each other we had to be strong… And we would be strong… as long as we had each other… We were stronger as ever...
But with Great Power also comes some Responsibility ... Peter needed some extra help… I had money but the not the resources to help him…
I started filming and shooting video of Peter being Spider-Man… I had edited and collected a bunch of footage… My only hope now was that I could get a certain billionaire's attention that he'd want to take Peter under his wing… I could only hope that as I sent an email with the videos…
I looked up as my computer flashed with an email and a file…
My eyes widen as I see…
"Bucky… I've finally found you."
