Chapter 12: Spider-Man No More
(Five days later)
Y/N's P.O.V
It's been five days since Peter died and today is his funeral. And ever since his death my powers have been off.
Though it doesn't matter as I haven't been out as Spider-Man since that day. J. Jonah has been loving that.
All that's known about Peter's death is that he was the mutant spider and died at the abandoned factory.
Anyway, I'm at the funeral with my parents.
We walk over to the church as rain falls down.
James: Y/N, you sure you're okay? You haven't...
Vanessa: James.
James: I just wanna make sure he's okay.
I turn back to see them both looking at me.
Y/N: Can you two stop looking at me like I'm made of glass? I'm fine.
Vanessa: Sorry, baby.
???: Hey, Y/N.
I look back to see Harry is here.
My eyes widen.
Y/N: Harry?
He smiles.
Harry: Hey, man.
I walk over to him and we hug.
Y/N: It's so good to see you, man.
Harry: You too, bro.
We pull away.
Y/N: Thanks for coming.
Harry: Of course.
Y/N: Honestly, I wasn't sure you got my call.
Harry: Well, I didn't. But May and Ben called my father and he told me. I can't believe he's gone.
Y/N: Yeah, me too.
Harry: How you doing?
Y/N: I don't know. It just doesn't feel real, you know.
Harry: Yeah...
He sighs.
Harry: We should probably head inside.
Y/N: Yeah, let's go.
He and I head into the church with my parents.
(One hour later)
So, we've just had the service for Peter and he's been buried.
All of us are currently at the memorial reception.
I look up to see May come over to me.
She sits down with me.
May: Hi, Y/N.
I smile.
Y/N: Hey, May.
May: How are you doing, sweetie?
I sigh.
Y/N: Man, if I had a nickel for every time someone has asked me that today.
She smiles.
May: Sorry.
I shake my head.
Y/N: No, it's okay. I'm sorry. I just... I don't know how I feel.
May: I understand.
Y/N: How are you and Ben doing?
May: We're okay, or as okay as we can be given everything.
Y/N: I get it.
May: I actually came over because I wanted to give you something.
She pulls out a thumb drive and hands it to me.
May: I'm not sure what's on it. I didn't look, but Peter left it for you. I think he knew what was happening to him and there were things he wanted you to know.
Y/N: Thank you.
I put it in my pocket.
May: Of course. Well, I'll leave you be. Just know, if you ever want to talk, Ben and I are here for you.
I nod.
Y/N: Thank you, I appreciate it.
She smiles before leaving.
Just then I feel sparks coming off my hands.
Y/N: What?
My other hand sticks to the table and I can't pull it off.
Y/N: Crap.
I yank it off and look around. No-one saw it.
After that I get up and leave.
I need to get some air.
(Twenty minutes later)
I'm sat infront of Peter's grave outside in the rain.
I feel tears running down my face.
Y/N: I'm sorry, Peter. I'm so sorry.
Just then I feel a hand on my shoulder.
I look back to see Steve there.
Steve: Hey, kid.
Y/N: Hi.
I then see Tony, Natasha and Sam come over.
Y/N: Hey, guys.
Tony: Hi, kid.
Sam & Natasha: Hey.
Natasha: How you feeling?
Y/N: About as well as I can be.
Sam: Sorry about your friend, Y/N. I've been there.
Y/N: Really?
He nods.
Sam: Yeah. I know what it's like to lose a brother.
Steve: Me too.
Y/N: It was my fault. I should've been able to save him.
Tony: It wasn't your fault, Y/N. Don't blame yourself, I do it all the time. It doesn't end well.
Y/N: I wish I could believe that was true. I just... I just can't.
Natasha kneels down and puts a coat over my shoulders.
Natasha: Come on. Let's get you inside. You'll catch a cold sat in the rain like this.
I stand up and leave with them.
(The next day)
So, I'm now at home and sat at my desk.
I plug in the thumb drive May gave me.
It brings up a video message from Peter.
I play it.
Peter: Hey, Y/N. If you're watching this, then that means I'm gone. I decide to do this as I'm not sure how long I'll... be me.
I continue to watch this.
Peter: I didn't think this would happen when I got spider powers, but I wouldn't change any of it. Being out there with you as the other Spider-Man has been the best time of my life. Fighting crime with my best friend has been amazing. I am scared about what's gonna happen next, but I know you'll save lives because that's what you do.
Y/N: (Whispers) I couldn't save you.
Peter: Your my best friend, my brother. I love you, Y/N. Oh, and I left some new suit designs for you and tech for you. I get the feeling you'll need 'em. Goodbye, Y/N L/N. Keep being the hero I know you are.
The video stops.
I just start crying again.
He says I save lives, but I couldn't save him.
(One hour later)
I'm now in the city with my suit in my backpack.
I walk into the alleyway and see some trash cans.
After that I take my suit out of my backpack and drop it the trash can.
Y/N: (Whispers) I'm sorry, Pete. But I'm no hero.
I grab my backpack and walk away.
I am Spider-Man no more.
(A/N: Well, that's it for the Spider-Man: A Hero Rises arc. Next up, is Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. I hope you'll enjoy it and enjoyed this arc.)
