i def think she should...in my story idea Peter has to tell her because they have sort of grown apart...Peter has become really distant from her...so its his way of explaining why..it would go like this if i had a choice...
Peter: Aunt May Im
. (Sighs)
.Im Spider-Man.
(Aunt May stares at him for a bit
she doesnt seem to believe him
or does she?)
Aunt May: Oh Peter
.That sure is old news to me...
(Now Peter is the one who stares at her bewildered)
Peter:
What?
Aunt May: Peter
that mask may keep your identity from others
but you cannot mask your voice to someone who knows it all too well.
(Peter still doesnt understand)
Aunt May: When you saved me that day from Dr. Octavius
and you spoke to me before you swung away
I could hear your voice
your sincerity
your humor....I knew it was you.
(Peter looks shocked)
Aunt May: I could never tell you though
that I knew
I guess I didnt know how
and seeing as you kept it from me for this long
I guess you didnt know how to go about it either.
Peter: I
.wanted to.
Aunt May: As did I
but I figured if you werent ready to tell me
then I shouldnt pursue the matter any further until the time was right. Yet I saw all you were going through
.you constantly exhausted
balancing school, a job, and being Spider-Man on top of all that
I saw the toll it took on you
and when you stopped for that short period of time
I wanted to tell you then
but I couldnt bring myself to
so that day when you helped Henry and I move
I figured the best thing I could do was tell you how everything you have done has made this city a better place and affected so many people
from those who live in this city
to Henry
and to me.
(Aunt May takes Peters hand)
Aunt May: Your Uncle Ben would be so very proud of you Peter
I wish he were alive to see the hero you have become.
Peter: It
was his words
his death
that
really made me Spider-Man
(Aunt May looks at him)
Aunt May: How
How so?
Peter: The night he died
he told me
.With Great Power
Comes Great Responsibility. And
that night
when I told you I let that crook get away
I really went to make money as Spider-Man by wrestling
using my powers to win some money
and I let that crook get away
when Uncle Ben was shot
I followed the guy that took his car
I thought he was the one who killed him
and when I confronted him
it was the same guy that I let get away
I didnt know Marko was the one responsible at the time. I thought it was him and I
couldnt forgive myself
even still to this day I feel Im responsible
and ive lived by his words ever since..when i told you i was responsible i didnt tell you the full story...i think its about time that you were told...about everything.
Aunt May: Oh Peter
.
(They hug
and Peter lets go and smirks)
Peter: Well
.this conversation isnt going like I expected.
Aunt May: Hm quite
Tell me Peter
How exactly did you
.how can you
Peter: Climb walls? Shoot webs? Leap tall buildings in a single bound?
Aunt May: Yes...its something I have been wondering about for quite some time now.
Peter: I was bit by a Spider.
Aunt May: Peter
Ive been bitten by many a Spider in my day
needless to say none of them had that quite of effect on me.
Peter: This Spider was different
engineered
altered
and it transferred all its abilities to me
its agility
its speed
webbing
everything
Aunt May: I see
Oh I just dont know Peter
its just hard to think that youre out there
risking life and limb
it makes me proud
and yet
I worry that you could get seriously hurt
perhaps worse.
Peter: I have to do it Aunt May
its my responsibility
I have to do whats right.
(She kisses his forehead)
Aunt May: I do love you Peter
Peter: I love you too Aunt May.
