Chapter 37 - 36. SCHOOLGIRL???

The feral mutant keeps his sights on Spider-Man as he responds, "How do we know this is actually the webhead and not one of his or our enemies messing with us?"

Spider-Man doesn't immediately answer but through the web masked it appears a smile is slowly forming on his face, "I heard you cried."

Wolverine stays silent for three seconds before he turns and walks away, "Okay it's him."

All the heroes smile in amusement, a few try to cover their mouths, while Spider-Man shouts, "You cried for me."

"Shut up."

"You love me!"

"I will stab you!"

"You missed me!"

"Not anymore!"

Spidey watches his friend walk away with a big smile under his mask before looking at his fellow Avengers, "He missed me."

While most of them smile at his antics and are convinced that this is the real Spider-Man, Captain America looks at him with both an exhausted and happy smile, "Why do you feel the need to do that?"

"I don't have anything better to do."

"Well nice to know that not even death can cure that bad sense of humor of yours," Iron Man says before he walks away, "I'll be in the Quinjet when you all are ready to leave."

And on that note, the heroes begin to leave.

"Spider-Man."

Master Yu Ti calls out to the revived hero. He walks to him with his hands behind his back.

"Yu Ti," the hero greets him politely. After he came back to life, the master martial artist just stayed behind at the pool after telling Hope and Danny to escort the webhead outside. While they did so, they told him what Yu Ti did for his body.

"Listen," Spidey says as he sticks his hand out for a handshake, "Thanks for taking care of me when I was dead."

Yu Ti looks down at it for a quick second before saying, "It was the least we can do for everything you've done."

The Queens-born hero blushes a bit and rubs his head bashfully with his other hand, "Aw shucks, you don't have to-" Peter stops talking when he feels and then sees Yu Ti placed a pole with a bag in his hand, "What's this?"

"I believe they call it a pool skimmer net in America," Yu Ti says as he also hands him a bucket, "You left quite a mess in the Scying Vessel of Bo-Ling."

"Wait what," Spidey looks back and forth between the tool and the martial artist, "You want me to-but I didn't-and it wasn't my-"

The green-garbed man decides to interrupt him, "I suggest you hurry before the meat gathers insects and the blood dries."

The man walks away, leaving the poor hero looking at him and the object in his hands incredulously. Spidey looks to his fellow heroes, Iron Fist Thing, Thor, , Captain America, and Hope, who look very amused by this.

He gives them a dirty look as he says, "Yeah sure enjoy my misery while you can cause you guys are helping me clean."

Their smiles don't leave as they look at him questionably and Thing asks, "And how do ya figure dat."

"I died to save your lives!" Spider-Man says, "You owe me!"

He doesn't really mean that, but still. The fact that they are not even considering helping him after what he did is just mean.

And it seems picks up on that if the nod is any indication, "You know guys he's right. He did save our lives," the words are great but the tone does not fill him with confidence, especially when a smile he often makes when he thinks he's funny, "And someday we'll find a way to repay him. Bye!

"Farewell!

"Enjoy yourself!"

"Be sure to visit the kids!"

His jaw drops as he watches his supposed friends walk away without even looking back at him.

"Of all the-" he starts before he takes a breath, "Okay you know what, no. It's fine. It's fine. The next time you're all trapped in a cave WITH HELL WORMS SLOWLY FEEDING ON YOUR SOULS I WON'T COME AND SAVE YOU! OH NO, I WILL JUST SIT BACK AND GIGGLE LIKE A SCHOOLGIRL!"

He pants heavily after his rant that frankly he and they know is just an empty threat. Because he can't help but want to help.

'Because that's just the kind of person you are,' slumps at the sad thought. He turns around and sees Captain America and Hope still standing there.

Steve gives him a small smile, "I'll ask Yu Ti if he has any more skimmers."

"And I'll ask if he has any more buckets because I am not touching anything that came out of that cocoon of yours," Hope says with a look of disgust when she thought about his rebirth.
