Chapter 220: Chapter 217
"Hey, just because I can doesn't mean I will," Sue huffed.
"Oh, and speaking of dates," Reed looked at his watch, "I'll be leaving in an hour Sue, you sure you don't need me to stay?"
"No, you and Jesse have fun Reed, I'll take care of this, plus Peter's there to help me," Sue shrugged with a smile.
"I'm sorry, but where are you going?" I asked.
Reed smiled, "I have a date tonight."
"Oh my God, it's like everyone has a freaking date tonight!" I cried out throwing my arms up, "why god?! Why?!"
"S-should I stay?" Reed asked a little worried.
"Don't worry, he's just throwing a temper tantrum," Sue huffed, "you get to your date."
Reed nodded, we continued to work for another hour before Reed left for his date. It took him forever to decide what to wear before Sue finally helped him out, forcing him into a blazer and shirt look.
Around 7 we finished up, everything was set up and Sue and I found ourselves in the kitchen with a freshly baked meat lovers pizza and large bottle of coke.
"How have you been?" Sue asked as she ate a slice.
"Better."
"Peter, you don't have to lie," Susan rolled her eyes.
I sighed, "I got beat up by a moron named Doom, my girlfriend left me because she became an internationally wanted criminal and oh, I'm not sure if anything's even worth living for anymore."
"Peter, whatever's wrong you don't have to face it alone. We're all here for you," Sue sounded worried.
I chuckled, "relax Sue, I'm not going to kill myself," I took up a fork, "besides, I don't even think I can."
She blinked, "what?"
I held out my palm and pressed the fork into it. It quickly drew blood. Sue winced and moved to help when I stopped her. She looked at the wound and gasped in surprise when it slowly began to heal itself. Soon nothing remained but dried up blood.
"Logan's blood...it's too effective," I sighed, "I can't even imagine what it's going to do to my body."
"Oh my god..."
"One of the reason's I never bother with the Mutant Spider program was because of shit like this," I grumbled, "don't know what the mutagen will do to my body. Logan's been alive for over a hundred years Sue...I really don't think I can live that long."
Sue gasped, "oh Peter...I'm so sorry!"
I shook my head, "it's not your fault Sue. I told you to do it, it's the only way to save my life and I knew it. It had to be done."
"But still," she groaned, "I can't even imagine what you're going through right now."
I snorted, "honestly, the worst part is Felicia," I sighed eating my slice, "she...she just left. Just like that. It's not fair. Not even a damn good bye. She didn't even break up with me properly. She just left."
Sue sighed, "she...she's different. She did what she thought was right."
I nodded, "yeah...and you?"
Sue blinked, "me?"
"Yes, you," I smirked, "Reed's got himself a girlfriend now right?"
"Please, I'm not jealous," Sue scoffed.
"Never said you were," I shrugged, "but...really Sue, what happened? Last I remember he was madly in love with you."
She shrugged, "I guess...I guess he just got tired of waiting. I can't say I blame him."
"Do you regret it?"
"No. Reed and I aren't in a place where we could take...us seriously. It's better this way," she nodded to which I just shrugged.
"Right."
We sat in silence for a moment before she spoke up, "people are saying Spider-man's dead."
I paused for a moment before sighing, "yeah."
"Are you-"
"-No," I quickly replied, "at least...not anytime soon."
"Right," Sue picked up her plate and put it aside, "for what it's worth Peter, I think you shouldn't stop."
"Sue-"
"-No, just listen. If you didn't come that day your father, Johnny and I would have been crushed under that wall. If you didn't come that day Doom would have killed Reed right then and there. If you didn't come that day we would all be dead. The world needs Spider-man."
I was quite, I thought over her words. I sighed, "when I started this...I thought exactly the same thing."
Sue was surprised, "really?"
"Yes," I nodded, "I knew the world was full of shit, that there were people out there stronger and scarier than I could ever imagine. I knew I needed to help keep people safe. So I put on the costume and came out swinging. But….now, everytime I look at that costume...I'm afraid."
"Why?"
I looked her in the eye, "Doom...he broke me that day. Something inside of me...just shattered."
"Peter, he can't hurt you, he won't ever hurt you, ever again," Sue's voice continued hostility in it, I could smell her anger, rusted copper.
