Starting Again

"I already told you, Uncle Ben, I feel better" lying on the hospital bed, was Peter while he tried to relax his uncle who still looks at him very carefully.

"This is not a joke Peter, you were in a critical condition yesterday. We can't take anything for granted. No matter that you feel better today" After spending one of the worst nights of his life, Uncle Ben couldn't calm down so quickly. even with his nephew in better shape.

"You should calm down man, especially for May" being the voice of reason, Peter had to remind his uncle.

Regaining control a bit, Uncle Ben pulled a chair back as he regained his tired body.

"May ..." the age with the scare was something that caused a lot of damage to May, and she was currently recovering from a heart attack. but before all the difficulties, his nephew had awakened. so it could be a good time to dedicate himself to the wife.

Looking back at the teenager who looked much better than usual, Uncle Ben took strength as he got back up.

"You will stay and do all the tests, and you will not move them, we have a deal young man?" With a stern look, but without hiding his concern, Uncle Ben spoke as he crossed his arms in front of the teenager.

"You can be calm, but do not blame me if I escaped visiting May if these tests are delayed", responding bravely, the teenager did not back down from his uncle's words.

And the first to break the silence was the white-haired man, "We have a deal, and when we get better we can already eat your favorite food, so relax" with much better humor, the white-haired man left his nephew with a slight smile.

When the brown-haired teenager was alone, he pulled out a hamburger that he was hiding under the bed, "The food in this place really sucks."

Eating quietly, Peter was regaining his strength, his metabolism had increased. so the amount he had to eat had also increased.

Peter was careful, so he stopped for half a second when he felt a pair of feet approach, but identifying the person, Peter continued with his food.

Opening the door, a blonde-haired beauty teenager appeared, hiding her beautiful blue eyes with black glasses.

"May I ask a question" there was some mistrust, but it was something Valeria had to know.

"Anything for my dear Val. But actually, you should have more confidence, what we went through should count how some years of friendship" still retaining his carefree attitude, Peter did not care about Valeria's seriousness.

That answer was in Valeria's predictions, but hearing it made it much easier, "In our original world did you live with your uncles?" or you really are just a big liar, but Valeria decided not to ask too much. Since she just wanted to know a little more. Peter

Without rushing his meal, Peter took his last bite before starting, "Does it really matter?" but his answer did not satisfy Valeria's curiosity.

"Very important, and it would help me make a more logical decision for the future" if she thought about everything objectively, after thinking about all of Peter's choices, combining it with his largely suicidal behavior. as well as his morale quite fragile to say the least. Then it wouldn't be that hard to think of her Peter as the evil version. So Valeria had many doubts.

Peter could understand Valeria's insecurities, even he was surprised by the abilities to lie without blinking that he had.

"I never knew them, and I feel some guilt for lying, but if you think about the other possibility, the guilt disappears. Since I see that elderly couple very difficult to bear that their only nephew turns into an eight-legged monster" search Anything to help him sleep was a basic move to keep his sanity in hell, so this situation was child's play.

A part of Valeria would like to hear a heroic response full of self-improvement determination. but Peter's answer didn't make her uncomfortable, just meaning that her values ​​already had a change during her last adventure.

"I guess it doesn't matter is a good answer" now more enlightened, Valeria sat next to Peter as she also took out a hamburger from the huge coat that almost covered her entire body.

With all said the two teenagers decided to enjoy the quiet moment.

...

"and everything in order?" Peter asked as he searched for something interesting on television.

"It should be, changing the results to pass as a sugar deficiency was simple. Although you will probably say goodbye to the monetary compensation" Valeria decided to play with her cell phone, it was a good opportunity to relax. In addition, she found several games that she had not played in her world.

Again with worldly problems, Peter remembered that money was very important. So faking some sequels was a good way to make easy money. But it was best not to attract too much attention. So getting money was on the to-do list.

"So what are you going to do Val? Your family may not know you, but I think you are smart enough to explain everything" that was an important issue, especially since Valeria is still young. so an emotional outcome could be the most possible.

Valeria's expression wavered a bit, but she kept looking at her cell phone, "I don't know, but one thing is clear, they are not my family. Maybe it would be different if we were to reach a universe that was the past of our original universe. But it's not like that, maybe not even my parents hunt each other, so it makes no sense to think about that. But don't worry, I already have several plans so I won't bother you. "Valeria was not being honest, but when she saw how easy That Peter got a new family made her think. and maybe she was being a burden.

Peter was thinking about Valeria's words, and he understood that this girl should be more honest.

"I already decided, You will stay with me, but if in the future you want to do something I will support you. But at this point, it would be boring if you leave. So don't think too much. We can falsify some documents and get you an identity. And if it bothers you this dimension we can go, I'm sure there will be more universes where Peter dies "

Valeria was happy for Peter's words, but his ability to dismiss a world made her think of Valeria. But that didn't matter, it didn't matter anymore.

"Then I guess I'll do something, I don't think you want to take care of that, do you?" regaining her confidence, Valeria started teasing Peter.

"Maybe it didn't sound like it, but I already have a touch of genius. Although telling a 13-year-old girl with an IQ of 200 might sound cheap" Peter knew his strengths, so he wouldn't hesitate to turn down a chess game with Valeria without blinking.

With a much better mood, Valeria continued playing on her cell phone. Rare people were not intimidated by her intelligence. So this was another reason why Valeria wanted to stay close to Peter, making friends was quite difficult for the adolescent.
