Peter had been spending every waking moment attempting to figure out what it was that he was supposed to do with himself since the incident. He'd been going to school and every day it was easier not to get stuck to things, but he found that along with this sticking to every damn thing he touched came with increased speed and agilty.
He'd been practicings down at the docks, jumping between and crawling up anything and everything. He'd come to the conclusion that his aunts inital diagnosis of a spider bite was in fact completely correct, as everything he could do was subsequently something a spider could, he was like a spider guy or something. The problem with all of this was that he was spending more and more time away from home and hanging upside down at the docs while he did his calculus homework was probably not the best way to spend his nights.
Slowly edging in through the front door he tried to be quiet and head up to his room but was stopped at the top of his stairs by a very angry, very tired Uncle Ben.
"Hey Ben, uh I was just heading-"

"Where the hell have you been?" He seethed "I've been trying to call you for hours, you were suppose to walk your aunt home! There's something insane going on at the Met and I had no idea where you were! You could have been dead!"

"I'm sorry! I was out-" he tried pushing past his uncle but found himself being forced back down the stairs.

"Trapsing? Shirking?" Peter walked down the stairs backward as his red in the face uncle screamed at him "Look I'm sorry I forgot, it wont happen again okay?"

May came out from the kitchen, holding a dish rag to her chest "Ben stop it, it's fine."

"No it's not May! What has gotten in to you Peter? I used to be able to trust you, where do you go at night?" Ben stood a few stairs above where Peter stood towering over his tall gangly nephew.
"Ben-"
"Where do you go at night Peter?"

Peter looked between his aunt and uncle and sighed "Just, out, I just walk around okay?"

"Nobody just walks around the city, where do you go?!"

"Just out! I-I don't have to take this you know!" He turned around and threw open the front door, breaking the screen door off as he left.
He didn't know where he was going, but he wasn't going to stay there.

May slowly approached the destroyed screen door and turned back to Ben with tears in her eyes "That was completely unnecissary Benjamin."
Ben looked away from his wife and sighed "I'm sorry-"
"That doesn't fix this door and that doesn't fix what you just did; there was a better way of handling that."
"I just lost my temper, he's just been so diffcult lately."
"He's a teenager! You weren't easy when you were a teenager and neither was I for god sakes. He's going through something that we currently can not understand." She lifted up a piece of the screen door "We have to give him time."

Peter stormed down the street clutching the strap to his backpack. He was fuming, yea he deserved it, he'd been pretty reclusive lately but Ben didn't have to come at him like that. He jumped up across a few cars settling off the alarm and then jumped to the side of a house crawling up to the roof, he ran for a long time along the rooftops before running out of breath and sitting on the edge of a house a few miles away. He checked his phone and found seven missed calls from home, he turned off his phone completely and looked out in to the city.

Ben spent an hour trying to call Peter, he finally got tired of getting his voicemail and grabbed his coat. May was finishing up vaccuming when she saw him head toward the door.
"Where are you going?" She turned off the vacuum and knitted her brows "You're not going after Peter are you?"
"I have to find him."
"He'll be back, it's okay."
"May, I just- I'll have my phone call me if he comes back and I'll grab a cab okay?" He leaned over and kissed his wife "It'll be fine." He smiled and headed out the door in to the city, he knew all of Peter's hot spots, he'd check the docks first.

Peter tried knocking on Mr. Dreibergs door as well as ringing the bell but he was either not there or out somewhere watching owls (what other birds came out at night?) Jumping down the steps he sighed and headed toward a liquor store to grab a ginger ale.
He popped in with his head down and stared at the soda case.
Exactly what I needed tonight, no damn ginger ale he sighed and settled for an off brand root beer. When he got up to the counter he rooted around his pocket for some change and found he was a couple cents short, the guy behind the counter pursed his lips "Man I'm just a couple cents short."
"That sucks" he was obviously used to dealing with punks trying to get stuff for free.
"I need like 3 cents man, that's nothing in the grand scheme of things right?"
"Those three cents could feed my family" he guy crossed his arms and Peter sighed.
"Sure yea right" he left the soda on the counter and found himself face to face with a guy looking very nervous "oh sorry man." He went around him and headed out the door, he stopped when he heard shouting and the guy running out the door holding a wad of cash he turned to the guy who was staring at him and Peter shook his head "That sucks" and kept walking. It was a shitty thing to do and Peter all ready felt bad for it, but he wasn't in the mood and honestly that guy got his just desserts.
