SINS PAST pt. 3

"It can't be...can't be...it can't be..." Peter mutters sitting on the side of a building looking down at the city bellow. "The two who have been trying to kill me...trying to destroy Peter Parker's life...can't be Gwen's kids...they...even if she did have kids they would still be children, they wouldn't have aged enough too...unless they weren't born normal to begin with...I couldn't be the reason? Could I?- No, that's stupid, we never- I have to find out. I have to know for sure..."

He got up and swung off and away towards his and Rachael's apartment. He crawled in the window of there bedroom webbing the letter to the roof of their closet, Rachael heard him come in and opened her eyes seeing him climbing down the wall and shutting the closet, she put her head back down quickly pretending to still be asleep when he turned to her.

"Rachael? Rach, are you awake?" Peter whispers.

"Hmmm? No, I was asleep...what time is it?" Rachael yawns opening her eyes.

"Half-past really fucking early, but you said you wanted to wake up early so you could go work out before rehearsal." Peter says starting to take his suit off, his mask already having been discarded on the floor.

Rachael sat up looking at the clock and turning the light on. "When I said early I meant like six, it's two."

"Sorry...you just stay there. How about I bring you breakfast in bed? Nothing too heavy, just toast, juice, pterodactyl eggs..." Peter sighs.

"I'd rather you didn't." Rachael sighs shielding her eyes from the light coming from the bedside lamp.

"Is my cooking really that bad?" Peter scoffs.

"No, well kinda... but that's not the reason, it just that every time you offer to bring me breakfast, it usually leads to you saying you can't stay. I- Peter are you okay? You look like you've been crying." Rachael says concerned.

"I'm just tired...it's been a long night. And I'm sorry but I can't stay." Peter sighs.

"Yeah, I know." Rachael sighs looking at him sadly, she could tell something was wrong but didn't want to push him, he'd tell her when he was ready.

His head dropped to the floor with a sigh. "I'd...better go round up those eggs. The hardest part is finding a free-range pterodactyl at this hour of the morning, then catching it and squeezing the eggs out. As if that weren't bad enough last time the pterodactyl turned out to be male. We're going out on our third date on Wednesday. I-" Peter jokes.

"Peter? You know I love you right and that you can tell me anything, right?" Rachael says softly.

"Yeah, I know. I love you, too." Peter sighs, turning to walk out. "Back in a flash."

"He always tries to protect me. It's what he does. He doesn't understand. It's not that I don't want to be protected because sometimes I do. But sometimes I want to protect him and I can't do that when he's to busy protecting me. When he's keeping secrets. But I have to respect his secrets because that's what I do. I keep peoples secrets." Rachael grabbed a flash light from the night stand getting up and walking over to the closet where Peter hid the letter. Using the flashlight to find what he was hiding, but she didn't grab it, he was still home. She'd have to be careful about this, she'd have to wait until after work to look at it. "But what if I'm not sure I should keep them anymore?"
