Peter eyed the rooftop as he got closer. After a long night of fighting with the lizard, that rooftop looked perfect for a small nap. Who knew that fighting a giant reptile would take so much out of you. Pulling himself towards his future bed, Peter landed with a stumble, not as much grace and elegance that he likes.

"Ow, owwies." He hissed in pain as he settled down behind an air conditioner that would hide the young man from anyone in the higher buildings. And considering the fact that most normal people do not go on the roof tops, he was safe from any civilians. he set an alarm on his phone for 8:30 before closing his eyes, ready to go to sleep. Three hours of sleep after a night of fighting to survive off of for the rest of his day. Joy.


"mom! Dad! Hurry up! Or we're gonna miss the sunrise!" Derrick ran up the stairs to the roof top, his parents lagging behind, yawning as they walked up the stairs. Today Marked the first day of school and it was a tradition to wake up and watch the sunrise on the first and last day of school, taking a remembrance picture right after to document their only child's growth.

"We're going," his mom, Cynthia, yawned loudly as she walked up the stairs. It was so early, she was wearing her pjs with a bathrobe wrapped around her. While her husband, Mark, was also in his pjs with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders. Derrick opened the door with all the force his small six-year-old body could manage and ran into the middle of the rooftop. Looking at the rising sun with joy. Slowly but surely, his parents joined him and they all watched the sunrise together in peace. Right until they heard snore coming from behind them. It only came once, and it was very quiet, but it was still enough for the two adults to hear. They both nudged each other to turn around, to see if it was gonna be someone they should worry about. They spent so long trying to do that, derrick was the one who saw the sleeping form of Spider-man leaning against the building when he turned around to tell them it was time to take the picture. He silently freaked out at the sight of his favorite super hero sleeping right in front of him. Cynthia and Mark turned around and also had their jaws on the ground at the sight of the young super hero.

"Is that who I think it is?" Marks voice was breathless and quiet, Cynthia didn't answer as she slowly got closer to him, whispering his name."

"Spider-man? Are you ok?" worried that he was injured, she only relaxed when she heard another quiet snore from him. A burst of wind made her shiver and upon seeing Spider-man shiver with the wind, she realized that he was probably colder than her. His suit was full holes and he even had some shallow cuts that only an animal could cause, he looked utterly exhausted and cold. She shrugged off her bathrobe and gently placed it on him, even going as far to tuck it behind his shoulders. She stiffened up when Peter mumbled something under his breath and turned his head, but thankfully, he stayed asleep. His chest rising up and down slow and steady.

"Awfully small aint he?" Mark came next to her and leaned on his knees looking at him. He was much smaller than he thought he was. he looked like a twig and if it wasn't for the skin tight close and the rippling muscles underneath, he would have thought that he was being starved. He wasn't that tall either, probably just the average height. Next to him, his son was a bouncing ball of energy. It was obvious that derrick wanted to wake him up or throw himself onto Spider-man, but his parents raised him better than that. Instead, he practically wrested his father's blankets away from him before placing it on Peters legs, to make sure that he was completely covered. His parents thought it was going to end there, but it didn't take long for him to drag them back inside, asking them for help to leave some food for Spider-man when he woke up. The two of them could only smile at his antics, grateful that they had raised their child to have a kind heart


"Shhhh." Peter shushed his phone as he turned off the alarm. Hating the fact that it was already time for him to wake up. He sat up and blinked in surprise as he felt the bathrobe falling onto his lap.

"what?" he looked down at the blanket and bathrobe in surprise. He's positive that he didn't go to sleep with these on him. He looked around, trying to see the person who did their kind deed of the day. Instead, he saw a small container full of syrup with another container of pancakes right next to him. A fork and note on top, he hesitantly picked up the note and felt his heart swell up when he started reading it.

"Hey Spidey! We saw that after a long night of protecting our city, you were exhausted. Enjoy these pancakes! It might not be much but this is our thanks, keep up the good work.

~The Sanchez's."

If Peter wasn't wearing his mask, they would have seen a huge smile on his face. Picking up the container, he had a feast on the delicious food the family left behind for him. Maybe things are looking up for him.


Cynthia and Mark sneaked up back to the roof at around three, wondering if Spider-man was still there. Instead, they were greeted with their blanket and bathrobe nearly folded up with their containers on top of them, weighing it down. With a little bit of what looks like his web, their note was attached to it. They picked it up and noticed it then that there was another message on their note.

"Hello my fellow new Yorkers! Thanks, you for leaving these wonderful gifts for me. I cannot express how much this means to me and it is because of people like you that I continue to protect the city I love.

~Spider-man."

They both smiled at the note and the little spider scribble that was in the corner. Spider-man sure was a good guy.
