"To prove you're right, you can't prove yourself just for the sake of proving yourself." Aaron stared seriously into Peter Parker's eyes. "I'll speak to Tony. If you screw this up, I'll take back the Spider-Suit."
"Sir, you can't..." Peter Parker trailed off, his face full of conflict.
"There is a price to pay for doing things wrong. You should understand that.
"I'll cover for you, just like this time, and no innocents will be implicated. But the price will be the Spider-Suit.
"If you don't want to lose it, get the job done."
"But you have another choice."
"What choice?" Peter Parker hurriedly asked.
"Give up this chance to prove yourself and go back to being a good neighborhood hero, Spider-Man, like before.
"Helping old ladies across the street, catching thieves, rescuing cats and dogs—those things can be pretty fulfilling too.
"I suggest you choose the latter. Start with the little things and grow slowly." Aaron patiently advised him with a solemn expression. "You're still too young. There are some things you can't handle."
"At the crossroads of life, we often face choices like this.
"Don't laugh, but your uncle here has always wanted to take the easy road. But cruel reality keeps trampling on my noble character and forcing me down the other path."
"But kid, you're lucky. You can choose the easy road.
"The hard road may be shorter, but it'll leave you battered and bruised. The easy road is only a little longer, but it can still take you to the finish line."
Peter Parker fell silent for a while, then clenched his fists with difficulty. "If... I mean, if.
"If I screw up and you take away the Spider-Suit, how long will you keep it?"
Aaron paused, then smiled. "Until I think you deserve it."
