"Persuade you?" Peter repeats, taken aback. He's not entirely sure how he could.

And perhaps worse, looking at Tony and trying to imagine May was almost impossible. They didn't look or act anything like one another.

"Okay," Peter says, taking a breath. He looks down at his hands, tries to put himself in the I'm really talking to May and not Tony mindset, then turns to look at Tony.

"May, I wanted to talk to you about the whole Spider-Man thing."

That seems like a good place to start.

"I know that you're worried about me. I know I'd be worried about me, too." It's true. "Especially because of everything that happened with Ben."

That had been a big part of why he'd kept it secret from her in the first place.

"But I really thought about it for a long time. Even before I decided to be Spider-Man," he says, "and I think if I can help other people, I need to."

This is somewhat embarrassing to admit to Tony, but he really is trying.

"So... I really just want to talk about the things you're worried about and figure out if there's some way we can meet halfway."
