"There will not be a next time, Peter Benjamin Parker!" He snapped, voice in that said clearly any further argument would not lead to pleasant times. Although, it would be so much more convincing if he wasn't very obviously having trouble physically. "We can get someone else to do it. It's not.." He didn't want to say 'life or death' that had been right on his tongue. He couldn't bring himself to say that, not to Peter. For a brief moment, his expression looks pained before he shakes the emotion away.

It works out in his favor since the next words out of Peter's mouth have his jaw dropping. "She's what? What do you mean 'Spider-powers'?" He turns his attention to the girl for an explanation.
