Peter's P.O.V

The weekend was amazing!

Wade, Ned, MJ and I had a sleepover at the tower till sunday and we watched movies and ate junk food. We were either in the living room, the kitchen or my room and I was thankfully that they didn't bring up the incident from friday.

I really do wonder, and I say this all the time, but...

How did I end up with such a loving family, such wonderful friends and the best boyfriend you could ask for?

.

It's monday and I'm in my room, getting ready for school. I make my way out of my room and see Steve, Bucky, Nat, WD (Wizard Dad) and Sam in the kitchen. I say good morning to them and make breakfast. When I'm done, Dad has also joined us. I say goodbye to everyone and head down, towards the subway. Around 20 minutes later, I'm at school and I walk in with my friends. Flash even said "Good morning" to me when we walk passed, to which I also responded with "Good morning".

MJ and Wade gave him glares but eased up once Flash was gone. We headed to class and I couldn't wait for the school day to end. I was planning on visiting someone very special.

~Timeskip to ze end of the day once again because I have the power of... a writer...?~

I'm at my locker with my friends and we're preparing to leave. Then I remember what I had to do.

"You guys can go without me. I have to do something." I say.

"We can go with you or wait here." Ned says with a bright smile.

"I...uhh... kinda wanna go...umm... alone..." I say awkwardly. "I don't want to be mean to you! I just, there's someone I wan't to talk to...!" I add quickly.

"Don't worry loser. We can wait here." MJ says and she gives me a small smirk.

"Umm... I'm not really sure how long it will take, so I don't want to waste your time."

"How about we wait outside school? We can get some vitamin-D and some "fresh" New York air." Wade says and he air quotes the word fresh.

"I mean, I can't stop you. So if you want to do that then don't yell at me if you have to wait." I say as I start to walk away, passing some classrooms.

"Where are you going anyways?" Ned yells out as I'm about to round a corner.

"I'll tell you later!" I say and I start to make my way towards the library.

I'm standing outside of the library and carefully open the door and step in. I expected to see Mr. Lee by the desk but instead, a woman that I don't recognize is there. She's reading a book and I look at her for a little while, wondering where Mr. Lee is.

'Maybe she's just, like, a substitute librarian?' I think to myself. At that moment, the woman looks up from her book and notices me.

"Hi Sweety, can I help you with anything?" She asks with a soft smile.

"O-oh, umm, I was...umm... I was wondering where Mr. Lee is." I say nervously. Her smile drops a little, but she recomposes herself.

"I'm sorry but Stan sadly passed away some weeks ago." She says and I feel my blood run cold. "Though, he died in his sleep from old age. So I don't think he was suffering much in his last hours. He died with a smile on his face." She has a light smile plastered on her face.

"I... I see..." I say and I try to hold back my tears. Mr. Lee was always there for me, if I skipped a class for some reason, he didn't lecture me. Instead he made me tea and we would just talk and talk.

"Are you Peter Parker by any chance?" She asks and I look up at her a little shocked, but nod. "Well, there's a package here with your name from Stan."

"R-really?" I stutter and I walk up to her desk. She puts down, what looks to be, a file. I take it and look at it. It's covered with small doodles of different superheros, including Spider-Man. There's a sticker in the corner that says.

To: Peter Parker 🕷️
From: Stan Lee 📖

He scribbled a spider behind my name and a book behind his. I chuckle a little.

"Thank you." I say the woman and she nods. I start to make my way out of the library, but stop by the door.

"Oh! Umm... I didn't ask for your name." I say a little panicked and I turn towards her. She has a smile on her face.

"Don't worry about it. My name is Joan Cecilia Lee." She says with a smile and I put two-and-two together and give her a little wave before leaving, to which she waves back.

I head down the long hallway and end up by my locker. Thankfully, the hallway is empty since everyone has probably already gone home. I hope my friends aren't waiting outside, they shouldn't waste their time on me.

I hold the file with a strong grip, not wanting to lose it and I carefully open it up at the top. I look into the file and see, what looks to be a letter and something wraped in paper. I pull the letter out first and open it.

.

Dear Peter

I'm guessing that if I can't hand you this letter myself, then I am deader than dead, which is a little sad. But you know I always looked on the bright side of life and every story must come to an end. At the moment, you are missing, so is Spider-Man. Everyone is wondering where you are and so am I. But I have no doubt in my mind that you'll be back.

You are Peter Parker. The strong, kindhearted, charismatic kid that could, and can, light up any mood with your presence alone. I always loved having you here in the library (Even though you should've been in class). You were, and will always be, my favorite student and hero. And you know, I guess one person can make a difference.

You are an amazing person Pete, don't ever forget that.

To: Our Friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man 🕷️
From: Your Biggest Fan,
Stan Lee

P.S. There's a little gift for you. I hope you like it! :)

.

I slide down to the floor and rest my back against my locker. Tears are flooding down my cheeks. I carefully fold the letter and put is back in the file, then I take the thing that's wrapped in paper. It's a little heavy and by the shape of it, it looks to be some sort of comic book. I carefully rip off the paper and my breath gets a little hitched when I see what it is.

It's a comic book with Spider-Man on it. At the top it says:

The Amazing Spider-Man

I open the book and on it's first page, there's a sticky note saying:

With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility

I chuckle a little and look at the first couple of pages. The art is amazing and so is the storyline. I then hear the doors open to the front of the school and there is Wade. After a second, he notices me sitting on the floor in front of my locker. He hurrys over to me and sits down next to me.

"Pete, what's wrong?" He asks worried and at first, I don't understand why he's asking me that. Then I remember that my eyes are probably really red and puffy.

"No, just...I just got told Mr. Lee passed away." I say as I dry my eyes with my sleeve.

"Oh I'm sorry Petey. We didn't want to say anything because we were scared how you'd react. I'm sorry." Wade says in shame.

"No no no, don't worry. I understand. I think that if you told me earlier, when I still wasn't strong enough mentally, I would just break down." I say and he looks at me. Then he notices the comic book.

"What's that?" He asks.

"Oh! Mr. Lee gave it to me, or, err, I guess... his daughter? He wrote me a letter and I think he made this comic." I hand Wade the letter and the comic.

"He knew you were Spider-Man?! Did you tell him?"

"Nope. I think he just... knew? I don't know..." Wade nods and after awhile, we stand up and head out of the school. There by the curb, MJ and Ned are sitting. They turn around when they heard the doors open and close.

"What took you so long?" MJ ask and they stand up.

"I went to visit the library."

"Oh... We're sorry we didn't tell you earlier Peter." Ned says.

"Don't worry about it. But Mr. Lee left this gift for me." I show them the file with all he doodles.

"What's in there?" MJ asks.

"A letter and a Spider-Man comic book."

"That's awesome! You'll have to let me read the comic book." Ned says with stars in his eyes.

"Of course."

We then said goodbye, Ned and MJ walking one way and Wade and I walking the other way. 20 minutes later we were at the tower.

"So I'll see you tonight during patrol?" Wade asks.

"I'll try. Dad still thinks I should rest." I say, but then I blush a little, realizing I just called Tony Dad in front of someone. Wade smirks a little.

"Which one is dad?" He asks, his smirk getting wider.

"Umm... Tony is Dad and...uhh... Stephen is Wizard Dad, or WD for short..." I say embarrassed. Wade starts laughing and I pout a little.

"Well, I should go then. I'll maybe see you later. Bye Pete." Wade says and he's about to leave, but I grab his arm and kiss him.

"I'll see you later!" I say with a wave as I hurry into the building. Wade waves back, his cheeks a little red. But then he starts to walk away.

I step into the elevator and head up to my room, where I then do my homework for god knows how long. When it's finally evening, I am able to convince Dad to let me go on patrol. I met up with Wade and thankfully, it was a calm night. People seemed to be happy to have their Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man back.

Since patrol didn't last that long, I headed to the living room when I got home and I saw most of my family sitting there, watching a movie (As usual *Author sweating...*). I walk over to Dad and Wizard Dad and sit down between them on one of the couches.

"How was your day Pete?" Dad asks and I give him a bright smile, feeling too tired to answer verbally. He seems happy with my answer and kissed my forehead. Then he went back to watching the the movie. At some point during the movie, I started to get a little cold. Somehow though, the cloak noticed and wrapped itself around my shoulders and kept me warm. Everyone chuckled a little at the sight and Wizard Dad ruffled my hair a little.

After the movie was over, I said goodnight to everyone and made my way towards my room. I got in bed and looked up at the ceiling, just smiling for myself.

"You know Peter. Life isn't that bad." I mumble to myself.

I close my eyes and quickly fall asleep, knowing that tomorrow will be a good day.

Hi!

This is it Folks. The story is over. I'm sad to say it, but this is the last chapter. It's been one hell of a ride writing this story and I don't regret it one bit.

I want to thank everyone for reading and supporting this story. It means a lot to me. The main reason I made this story was because I wanted to get all my ideas out somewhere and I couldn't reall find a story that I liked (No offence to anyone!)

So I just wanted to say Thank you for following me on this journey and that You Are All Amazing, You Make A Difference And You Matter!

I'm planning on writting one last bonus chapter, so you can leave suggestions of what you would want to see (read) for the next 'chapter'.

Anyways...

That's All For Now Folks!

G'night, G'day and G'morning!
