A canon-compliant drabble on The Amazing Spider-Man #58.


May Parker had taken a turn for the worse in Peter's absence. She was hospitalized. Gwen and Harry were outside her room in the hallway.

"I'm afraid she can't see anyone right now!" The doctor explained, gesturing towards May's unconscious and gaunt form. "The only one she keeps calling for is her nephew... Peter Parker."

"If only we knew where to find him!" Gwen said, exasperated, her hands clasped over her heart.

"Don't worry, Gwen! He's bound to show up!" Harry replied.

Harry was ushering Gwen away from May's room now.

"I know he's taken off on those mysterious photo assignments before... But never this long... Never while his aunt was so ill!" The blonde continued.

"If he was hurt... Or worse... Someone would have found him by now!" Harry explained, trying to comfort Gwen.

"No! Don't even say it!" Gwen warned. She couldn't bear the thought.
