Memories of a Mourning Spider

Memory was so easily damaged for something so important. It’s what makes people themselves, it’s what keeps us alive.Everyone knew it was fragile, Peter doubted they truly knew how fragile it was. When Steven said he could make everyone forget, Peter almost doubted it. How could one delete such an important part of their character?Sure, memories fade easily, and it takes work to get them to stick, but could such memories really just be wiped. It sounded like the ring of nightmares—Peter got cold feet. He got frazzled, he didn’t want the people he loved to forget him.But if he didn’t do this, they would all get hurt. May would have died for nothing—so he let them forget.All of them.With great power comes great responsibility after all.What he hadn’t expected however, was for when the spell activated for a flash of pain to sprout from his hands and spread to his chest, a sharp ache. It felt like he was getting dusted again—and then there was nothing.(Or my attempts to write a Batman–Spider-Man crossover)
