If there was one person that Lexi Rogers always had faith in, it was Peter Parker. When she first met Peter, he refused to talk to her due to the amount of shyness he had. But unlike the world, she kept at it. Spending countless times in class and at recess when they were young attempting to get him to talk to her. It did take Harry befriending him first before he’d actually start to hold a conversation with her. It was a few words were and there at first. It took a while for Peter to start talking to her first, and it was hard to believe that she was sitting on the empire state building, eating a hot dog with Peter Parker, the amazing man who saved her life, is a super-hero saving the city and is now her boyfriend. 

She remembered the first time Peter shared his past with her. She found herself as a young girl banging on Peter’s door heart broke and crying. Harry told her not to worry about it and to get over it but she couldn’t, she was heart-broken by her first crush. Peter opened the door looking confused to see a crying Lexi. After about an hour of crying on his shoulder he spoke kindly to her, telling her everything would be okay; brought her some water and took her down to the park. They spent hours at the park that day sitting on the swings swinging back and forth and talking. Peter finally warmed up to her to share with her his background. He was Lexi’s first experience with someone who wasn’t as well off as she was. But in that same sense, she found more love and family within the three people there then with her family. But over time, Lexi’s parents learned to slow down so they could spend time with their daughter.

They didn’t stop Aunt May and Uncle Ben from having Lexi over consistently and inviting her to do things with the family and in exchange, Peter got a lot to do things with her family as well. The best thing for Lexi was win she accidently called them Aunt and Uncle and in apologizing they told her she didn’t need to. If she wanted to call them her Aunt and Uncle as well, she was welcome to. That really meant a lot to her; as she expected, her parents didn’t give Peter that same option but he never expressed that it bothered him. From then on, she had found another family that proudly called her part of their own.

Another family member that she loved dearly was her ‘uncle’ Matt. It was never a mystery that he would be her legal guardian if something happened to her parents and she was okay with this. Matt had a good sense of humor, especially for being blind. His favorite joke was to ask if it was dark in a room and the reaction from some people would be worth it, and even he would chuckle  at his own jokes from time to time.

“So Lexi…” He said, in that questioning father tone he sometimes gave her as he sat at the kitchen table listening to Lexi make something for lunch while her parents were out doing things. “Tell me about Peter.”

“You already know about Peter.”

“Well tell me something I don’t know.” 

To that Lexi smirked, knowing full well that Matt couldn’t see it but that didn’t stop her from doing it. “There’s a lot about him that you wouldn’t know Uncle Matt. Probably the biggest thing you wouldn’t know about him is that, even though the situation happened; he’s the nicest guy I’ve ever met…” The cough from the table made her laugh, “Yes, even more than you.”

“Hey…” He said sticking his hands out, ‘I’m a nice guy.”

“I never said you weren’t nice, I just said you weren’t the nicest.”

“Fine, fair enough.” Matt said dropping his arms to his side with a sigh. “So tell me about this Spider-Man.” With that Lexi was off in her fan girl style; but Matt was listening more to her actions then her words. Her heart picked up speed, skipping beats every time she mentioned the word ‘Spider-Man’ or references of him, he or his. She didn’t vocalize much about Black Cat but spoke enough about Spider-Man to prove that she was, in fact, a fan. But was she a fan or was there a personal connection. “Interesting…” He said softly listening to her as she spoke. Upon him speaking like that, her voice dropped slightly and he could hear it. “Have you changed the type of clothing you wear?” He asked randomly.

A confused look moved across Lexi’s face as she looked over her shoulder. “No… why?” 

“Sorry for talking about your personal belongings.” He said with laugh holding up his hands. “Didn’t mean to talk about your personal whatevers but it just smells like you have a different fabric you’ve been wearing since the last time I saw you…”

“I am a foot taller.” She said with a grin and a laugh, “A girl has to change the type of clothes she wears when she grows taller.” 

“Whatever you say,” Matt said shaking his head. But something about Spider-Man troubled him, her reaction said more than just a fan-girl crush and the intense heart-rate said that he meant more to her than the average person. “So tell me Lexi; if you had to choose between Spider-Man or Peter, who would you p…”

“Peter.” She said quickly and without hesitation. “That’s probably the easiest question you have asked anyone.” 

Her heart-rate didn’t change, so it was obvious that she was telling the truth. A good hour was spent grilling her about Peter which she answered all the questions. He listened closely to all of her reactions to his statements and her responses. She loved Peter, there was no doubt about that, but her reaction to the Peter questions matches the same with Spider-Man… hmm….

[i]Buzz Buzz…[/i] Lexi’s phone buzzed and she pulled out it to see a text from Peter telling her that she needed to come over to right away, it’s very important. Speaking kindly to Matt she excused herself claiming that Peter need to some over to his place. Matt just rolled his eyes and waved his hand giving her the okay to go before she hurried out of the house.

 It didn’t too long before Lexi was knocking on Peter’s door.
