Peter watched with one good eye as Lexi walked towards him. She had so many expressions he didn't know whether to run or accept his fate. He saw the slap coming, although compared to Archer, it was like being hit with a tissue. What he wasn't expecting was the kiss.. It felt so good to be alive, to feel her lips on his... when she pulled away he looked at her, full of despair. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... but i didn't want.." He pointed to the gym that was on fire. "that to happen... I didn't want..." So many things to say. He didn't want her to treat him any different than a normal kid. He didn't want her to feel sorry for him, or worry for him, a million other reasons rang through his mind, but with the amount of strength, he just shook his eyes, both full of tears.

 "I didn't want to lose you..." He said. Even when she was pissed off and thrown across New York she still looked pretty... "I would never... ever forgive myself if i let something happen to you like Uncle Ben..." He said quietly... He heard footsteps approaching the side of the school. He looked at Lexi. "Look, I'll tell you everything. All honest to God truths. I'll answer any questions you want... but please don't tell Aunt May..." He said, his soft brown eye looking at her. He picked up his burnt and torn mask, and put it on to reveal his features. "I can't stay here... my mask isn't the best right now... come over whenever you want answers." He said, and just as the S.W.A.T. team and news reporters turned the corner of the school. Spider-Man was gone.
