[Peter hasn't. He hasn't had a lot of help. Some help, but not a lot.]
[He'll be eternally grateful for the ways MJ and Aunt May supported him. But he'd always been out there, mostly alone, taking one hit after another, always having to get back up again. Because if he didn't, there would've been no one else that could've saved whoever and whatever it was that had needed saving. What made that scary was the stakes - sometimes the whole city was at risk. Sometimes the world. Sometimes, like this last time, it was worlds. And until now, he'd rarely had much help when it was him standing between good people and certain doom.]
[This kid is far from home and likely far from a good chunk of the people that had helped him before. Chances are, he might get knocked in the dirt here, and Peter doesn't want to see him having to drag himself back to his feet without any help.]
[He'd never gotten a hand up - not until he'd met Miles and the other spiders.]
[This softness is new, something recently coaxed to the surface. Peter's not exactly looking to become everyone's overprotective big brother, but if it turns out like that anyway, he's not going to fight it.]
You'll have some here, too, kid. Anytime you need it. Whether that's help in a fight or help getting ready for one.
maybe a wrap with Percy's next comment?
