#peter being willing to fight a brood of highly trained vigilantees for his uncle is biblically accurate.

what the heck this is ADORABLE?? Excellent addition omg!!

Peter shoving his way through a bunch of primary colored vigilantes to get to his Uncle, because that's his fucking Uncle. That's the man that raised him, that died saving him, and they're holding him down like he's a dog.

Obviously they're not expecting that kind of strength from a teen who looks like he's 100 pounds soaking wet, but the vigilantees recover easily.

Batman tried to pull him back forcibly, and catches a mean right hook as a consequence. But it doesn't matter if he's making enemies of heroes. How good could they be if they're hurting his Uncle?

His Uncle sits up, bloodied and dazed, but alive.

He's younger, and has more scars than he remembers, but that's without a doubt his Uncle. It's the only familiar face he's seen in weeks.

Maybe that's why Peter can't help it when he barrels into his Uncle, hugging him like his life depends on it. (Maybe it does.)

He wraps his arms around his neck, like he'd done as a child, and sobbed. Someone tries to pull him away— not his Uncle, never his Uncle— but Peter just sticks himself to him.

Slowly, hesitantly, his Uncle hugs him back. He rubs his back, like he used to do when Peter would get stomach bugs. It just makes him cry harder.

Distantly, Peter acknowledges that this might be a little confusing to explain later. But in this moment, he has his Uncle.

I just had the brain spark idea for ANGST with Peter in Gotham with Jason as Uncle Ben. What if it is when he is still mad with anger from the Lazaraus Puts, and Peter's first meeting with him is when he is in the middle of one of his homicidal rages?

Like, Jason is back with the Batfam, and he is on the good guy side, but it's before he has reached a balance on his anger, and he still struggles to control the pit madness. And the first time Peter sees him and recognizes his face, Jason is momentarily going crazy?

Ooooo wait this is such a good idea!!

Imagine Peter, whose uncle has only been dead for 2-3 years at this point, seeing a man who has his uncles face repeatedly punching an unconscious man? The city's vigilantes are trying to pry him off, distract him from turning that poor guys face into a mushy pool of broken bones and blood.

Some are trying to comfort him, for some reason, while others say... less than polite things. The blue one electrocutes him, his not-uncle, successfully, which only serves to move his focus from the bloodied body to the vigilante. Which, well, was the point, but it feels wrong seeing his not-uncle be electrocuted repeatedly and beaten with a bo staff.

Batman even shows up to restrain him, his uncle had always been larger than life, in the metaphorical and physical sense. Peter's uncle was a gentle man, and the only time he ever used his size was when he was out on duty, to save people's lives.

His eyes glowed a neon green, and his weirdly youthful face was framed by premature white hair. His nose was busted and bleeding, staining his teeth. It made Peter nauseous. The last time his uncle had been covered in blood, he...

"Stop it! What are you doing to him?!" Peter screamed, finally finding the strength to leave his hiding spot behind a dumpster.

He stared. What else could he do?

He hadn't been in this universe long, hadn't found any signs of the Parkers ever even existing here. How could he be so stupid? Of course they could've existed with different names— his dad and uncle had been adopted. They probably have completely different families and last names because Peter... doesn't exist here. They're alive because Peter doesn't exist here.

The blue one, Nightwing, stepped forward. "Hey, this is no place for a kid, alright? We've got this handled." He took the tone Peter often took with scared civilians as Spider-man.

"No, you're— you're hurting him! Stop it!" Peter moved to get closer to his uncle, but was held back gently by Nightwing.

"Get the kid out of here, now!" Batman snapped, struggling to hold down his uncle.
