Most kids had difficulties fighting their parents. Peter, found little issue on the matter.
His mother thought she was doing right. Who could say? But Peter had lived by not ending what was not his to end, and saving those he could.
At least he and his mother had reached... An understanding.
He had so long before his mother would take over. Or attempt to.
"I heard you saved a life Peter," his mother commented from her computer, idly looking over various profiles of desperate individuals.
"You say that as if it were a bad thing."
"I would have been merciful and allowed them to end it."
Peter bristled slightly at the comment.
"They still had some fight in them mom. And besides... It wasn't Peter who saved them, it was Spiderman."
"A jumper?"
"Jumper. Lost family, and job within the past month."
"Remind me to teach you what mercy means Peter. If you're going to be a hero, then you need to be merciful."
His mother may have been the Angel of Mercy, but he would be the Angel of Life.
Abigail Mercy Wright. Goes by Mercy, and she "helps" people end their lives who need an extra push. From putting a toaster in a bathtub to guiding a comatose patient to the end, she kind of does it all. Most infamously, one of the few she could never succeed in doing was the Hulk.
