Peter thinks about this for a moment and continues staring down at the carpet.
"I know I'm not invincible," he says finally. "I used to get beaten up at school. The only difference is that now I get beaten up by people with alien tech instead of high school kids."
Years of bullying proved helpful when he came home with a bruise on his face after a night of patrolling. May just assumed it was just the kids from school rather than some handbag-stealing thug fighting her vigilante costumed nephew. He had convinced her not to go to the principal because it'd just make the bullying worse. To his surprise, she believed him even though he was usually a bad liar.
