It was soothing, to see how everyone changed. At least that's what he told himself.
Change was good. Change meant time was spent. Time meant healing. It was what helped him keep going.
"Hey. It's been awhile hasn't it? Don't bother saying anything, I know you can't. But, I'd like you to listen. You know, you were always good at listening.
"Things have been rough. We miss you. God we miss you. There's not a night that goes by we don't think of you.
"You know, I go out now, nightly. I can't stand by and let what happened... Happen again. You probably know what I do now. I like to think... I like to think you're looking down on us, from up above. Sometimes, I swear I see you on the street sometimes. I hear your laughter. I can feel your hands comforting me when I'm dead tired. I know your not here. Not like you used to.
"We've been busy. Just the two of us you know. We make do. I've even made some friends. Well, sort of. We're kind of in a club. We go out together, we study, we mess around, they... They make me feel like I'm doing good. Like... I can help people.
"I'm pretty sure you already know. But I've meant some important people. They're helping me do more. Like Tony Stark! You remember him right? Iron Man? He saved the world before. He's with the Avengers. He's a bit eccentric, but he's great to be around. Surpringly, he's really nice. He even let's me help in his lab sometimes.
"It's pretty nice. But, it's not what I'm here to tell you. I know, well, I'd like to believe you're watching over us. I'd like to think you already know. I'd like to think that you can actually hear what I'm saying. Well Aunt May, I just need to say I'm Spiderman."
"She'd be so proud of you right now Peter."
"You think so?"
"I know so. Now, let's go get something to eat before you run out alright?"
"Sure thing Uncle Ben," Peter said leaving with an older gentleman. Behind them was a rather recent gravestone. One for a loving Aunt and Wife, May Parker.
So? Who has feels? In this one, May dies but not Ben. All done at May's grave site. A little sweet, a little bitter. A reveal, and a family moment. Peter and Ben. Makes you wonder what Scarlet would be named in this world... Hm...
