Peter spent his days putting away criminal after criminal since the Goblin attack. Exhaustion took over every part of his being, but he pressured on. Ever since the Goblin made his debut every criminal hidden away in Ponyville came out an about.
Even some old-timers that Peter had fought during his time in Manehatten were residing in his new home. Shocker and Electro were the familar faces that he--sadly--had to meet.
Peter climbs through his bedroom window, peeling the mask off his face. His red and blue costume was shredded, the shirt clung to his body, one of his boots were burnt off him, and his mask was barely even considered a mask. He rips off the webbing that he had wrapped around his face. His face was cut up. His left eye swollen, and---
"What the hell happened to you!?" Trixie yells. Peter tries hiding his face using the torn up mask. A blue aura wraps itself around Peter's body, forcing him to face her. Trixie pulls the mask away from his face.
"You're done. No more Spider-Mane."
"But Trixie I have to. Crime rates have shot up since the Goblin attacked! I have to go out there!"
"No you don't. Let me and Eddie take over."
"But---"
"Don't you dare go on about how this is your responsibility and yours alone. I'm sick of hearing it! You can't keep doing this by yourself and you know it!" Trixie's eyes water up. The tears begin pouring out. She puts herself onto Peter, the latter of which putting his arms around his friend. He rubs her back as she clings onto him.
"Trixie," she looks up to meet his gaze, "I'll rest up. I promise to you I will. But if you plan on going out there, be careful. I'll call Eddie." He pulls away from the embrace and picks up his phone from his desk. Trixie wipes her face as she leaves Peter's room. Seeing Peter's injuries get this bad brought back horrific memories.
"Sweet mother of Luna what happened to you!?" Trixie watches Peter stumble to the floor. His hoodie was badly burnt and was torn in other places. His mask rested on his bed, the side of it was gone.
"Is everything all right in there?" May called from the kitchen.
"Everything's fine May!" Peter says. Trixie helps him up onto his bed. That's when Trixie notices the blood dripping from his side.
"P-p-Peter? What happened?"
"Don't worry I'll be fine. It was....just....." He would lose consciousness and then....
Trixie blocks out the memory. She places the helmet over her head.
"Alright so Eddie says he's heading out. I told him to expect you to be out on patrol." Peter says while walking downstairs. Trixie nods. Peter watches silently as she leaves.
That's when his smile faltered. He sure hated lying. Especially to his family.
