Y/N's P.O.V

I'm now on a rooftop near where the Ferry incident happened.

I've taken off my suit as I've made a decision.

Just then Rhodes flies over and lands down.

Rhodey: Hey, kid.

I turn to him.

Y/N: Is everyone okay?

He retracts his helmet.

Rhodey: Everyone's fine. Don't worry. Why are holding your suit?

Y/N: Because I'm done. Can you give it back to Mr. Stark for me?

I hand it over to him.

He sets it down on the ledge.

Rhodey: What are you talking about?

Y/N: I'm done, Rhodey. I'm not Spider-Man anymore.

Rhodey: What?

Y/N: Rhodes, look at what happened. Those people on the ferry almost died.

Rhodey: Kid, that's not your fault.

Y/N: It is. I mean I was good when I was fighting in a team, I could handle it. But the first time I try to take down the bad guys on my own, everyone nearly dies.

Rhodey: Look, I know this didn't go the way you had hoped, but you can't just give up. This city needs you.

Y/N: No, it doesn't. The city was fine before I came along, it'll be okay without me. Hell, it'll be better of. I'm sorry, man. I'm Spider-Man no more.

I walk away and leave the rooftop.

(One hour later)

I've just come back home and see dad sat on the couch.

Y/N: Hey, dad.

He turns to me.

Henry: Hey, kiddo. I heard about what happened on the ferry. Are you okay?

Y/N: No, I'm not. I messed up and people almost died. I'm no hero.

Henry: Y/N, I...

Y/N: Dad, I love you, but I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanna be alone.

Dad nods.

Henry: I understand. I love you too, son.

I nod before going up to my room.

(Two days later)

For the past two days I've just been going about my normal stuff.

Just like I did before becoming Spider-Man.

I walk out of the bathroom and go back to class.

???: Hey, Y/N.

I look over to Mia.

Y/N: Hey, Mia. What are you doing out of class?

Mia: Just helping set up for the dance next week.

Y/N: Oh, yeah. I forgot about the dance. You going with anyone?

Mia: No. I've spent some time helping set up for it, I hadn't thought that far ahead. What about you?

Y/N: Uh, no. I'm not going with anyone.

I step forward.

Y/N: Do you maybe wanna go with me?

She smiles.
