The next night after the dream, May takes Peter to dinner. May hears Peter crying about the dream, so she wants to talk to him about it. Peter is being really quiet at dinner. He has a lot on his mind.

May: Peter, What's wrong?

Peter doesn't look up.

May: Peter. Honey. I heard you last night crying? Are you okay? Are you having your dreams again? Are you ignoring me? Hello, Earth to Peter!!

Peter looks up.

May: Peter talk to me. You know I love you.

Peter: Yes. The dream has been repeating for a few weeks now.

May: Why didn't you tell me? Peter, I need to know these things.

Peter: I didn't want to worry you. I'm fine May. The dreams will go away eventually like before.

May: Well Peter the dreams went away because you were talking to a therapist.I think it would be a great idea to talk to someone again. You haven't been talking to me. So maybe talking to someone you don't know would be good for you again. I just want what's best for you.

Peter just stares at May.

May: Don't get mad. Also I called Tony, and he agreed with me. I just thought if you weren't going to listen to me you would listen to him. He cares about you.

Peter: You called Mr. Stark? Why would you do that? I'm fine.

May: Honey, I raised you. I can tell when you are not fine. Something else is going on, I know it.

Peter: I can't believe this. I don't want to talk to anyone in May.

May: Okay well I can't force you but please just think about it. Should we get dessert or should we just go home?

Peter: Let's just go home. I'm tired.

Peter goes straight to his room when they get home.

Peter: Goodnight May.

May: Goodnight love you!

His talk with May made him very upset. He hates when people are worried about him. And now May told Mr. Stark.

Peter is really stressed about everything in his life. The dreams, the bullying, being a loser, and just being sad all the time. On top of this, he always has to be prepared to go on a mission with the Avengers or by himself.

Another day, another breakdown.
