    Summary

    !**SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY**!

    In the memory that he and Jean had shared, the sun had been warm against his skin. It had smelled like his old room at May’s. Like laundry, old paint, Bath and Bodywork candles, a metallic tinge of soldering. He had looked at Jean in that afternoon sun and he had known her. He knew the contours of her soul and the shape of her thoughts and the deep, deep, gaping hole inside of her. He had shown her the void inside of him and they had known each other down to their bones. It had meant something and of course she’d leave, it made the most sense for both of them. But it still broke Peter’s stupid soft heart which does nothing ever but break over and over.

    “Where is Jean?” Peter asks, his eyes still closed.

    He already knows the answer. She’s on a park bench in autumn. She’s on a bus watching beams of sunlight slip through the trees. She’s slipping through his fingers like May, like Ned and MJ, like Mr. Stark, like Ben. He’ll never find her again. She’s gone.

    But Frank huffs again. Which is not the response Peter expected.
