'Oh, crap." Peter pulls out his phone from his pocket and glances down at it. You blink in confusion as he turns up the volume and listens to police officers from what you can only assume is a 911 dispatcher app.
"What?" You glance from the phone and narrow your eyes at him, sensing what you already know.
"There's a robbery on sixty fourth avenue."
You stare at him in confusion, not really understanding if what he was suggesting was actually about to happen, so you sigh and place your hands on your hips.
"And that's your problem because?"
"I mean, I am Spider-Man, so."
You huff and roll your eyes at his stupidity.
"The police can handle it." You suggest and Peter frowns as if you just recommended the boy donate his blood.
"They won't come fast enough." He insists and tucks his phone back into his pocket.
The boy cropped up this dogmatic counsel to ditch you on your first ever rendezvous to stop a bank robbery that can easily be terminated by the police, given it was their job to do, not his. You sensed a common amount of fury climb through your body.
"So, you're suggesting that I let you leave while we're on a date that you asked me on?" You tilt your head in confusion and watch Peter press his lips into a thin line, a greater than sum of thoughts dispute through his eyes.
He contemplated your question for some time before he nods slowly.
"I'll come back, it'll take ten minutes or less. Bank robberies are my speciality." The boy offers you a smile and you roll your eyes, in spite of your inner torment, you sigh.
"Fine, ten minutes or less. If it eleven minutes or more I will consider this the worst first date ever." You point to him and Peter smiles as you agree to let him escape to his mission.
"I'll be back in ten, promise."
You nod silently and observe him turning away from you and exiting the park.
You had no idea why you believed him, because eleven minutes, twelve and eventually an hour had past. You gave up the hope he was coming back.
Embarrassed by your reliance, you walk of shame your way back home.
What was even more disappointing was the fact he had not reached out to you that entire night after his failed promise, so you swore to yourself to declare the date with him the worst one you have ever experienced, no matter how terrible future ones may be.
