There's only one hero back in my world. He's...maybe twenty. I used to think he was too young.
[He still does, really; it's only that he's seen a lot of even younger kids doing the same thing here.]
He'd have said there wasn't a choice. Maybe there wasn't, without any others around. But I wish I'd known when I still could have done something about it.
[It's pointless, but sometimes he thinks about what might have happened if he'd met Peter earlier. Taken him under his wing like he'd wanted. Maybe he never would have found out that he was Spider-Man - or worse, he'd have found out the exact same way - but that kid seemed like he needed some support. The man Otto used to be could've given him that much.]
