"Alone and having lost everything and everyone, Peter sat on the roof. Of all the people he knew, the one he least expected showed up. Quentin Beck. He left a deep mark on Peter's life. Love, hate, lies, sorrow, everything was mixed up in his relationship with him. The man evoked the strongest emotions. Peter could not forget him, and now that he felt his presence, he was afraid to turn around. Who was this, a hallucination caused by constant thoughts of him and guilt for not saving him from death, or a ghost who had come for his soul or the real and living Quentin Beck? Did he ever die? Why did he come to Peter now?
"Why did you come?" - Peter asked without turning around.
"Everyone has forgotten you. Except me," said Quentin.
"Are you alive?"
"And what does your heart tell you? Or your spidey sense?" Quentin asked.
Peter was so broken and lonely that he wished he could believe that Quentin was alive before him, even though he was his enemy. He wanted to cry with longing, he just wished he could hug him, feel the human warmth and know that someone remembered him, that someone came to him.
"I'm sorry, Peter," Quentin said softly and moved closer. Peter felt the light touch of the wool cape, and the way it became warmer. Quentin became like a shield against the wind and rain. Peter felt no threat or danger.
"I'm glad you're alive," Peter said and closed his eyes. He forgave him and wished he could say more now, but the words remained unspoken. Quentin understood everything. He had changed, and Peter felt it with all his heart and was ready to accept him.
Being a hero means being kind to everyone, not because everyone is nice, but because you are."
