Peter Parker ¹

He saved you from a fire once. I'm probably exaggerating a few seconds when he had you in his arms, then he saved you at least four more times; you were always on your phone in the street and the trucks were going crazy.

Two weeks later, he discovered you were the daughter of his boss, Tony Stark. However, he had no excuse to talk to you at school because you used your mother's last name to avoid being surrounded by everyone.

He slowly began to care about you, learned your schedule, even adjusted his patrol route to cover the same stops you made. You would "casually" run into Spiderman. He always looked out for you, and then a month later Parker started talking to you. He offered you gum in class, then you talked about science, etc. You weren't friends, but you did talk a little.

He didn't like you, of course not, the very idea made him feel guilty, disgusted, even uncomfortable just thinking about it, yet he "cared" about you, as a friend, of course, and because you were Tony's daughter, of course.

Next came Spider-Man's visits. One night he happened to be on your balcony, then he came back another night, and so on until he was showing up at least three times a week. It was comfortable talking to him; you didn't feel like you had to pretend. You could be a Stark without feeling pressured by what people would say or worrying that he was only talking to you out of self-interest.

It was a Wednesday night and there you were waiting for him with a cup of coffee; it never crossed your mind that receiving a stranger on your bedroom balcony was strange.

"Hello," Peter greeted, dressed as Spiderman, as he hung from the balcony railing.
