Daniel was a skinny streak of nothing with no kind of superpower, but he would always try to put himself between Peter and any potential threat. He just wished he had been there to protect Peter from Dutch and Tommy. He felt so shitty and guilty that he hadn't been there.
He blamed himself for Peter getting attacked.
He swallowed hard and gave a weak nod. "Thank you, Sir." He wasn't good with compliments. He wasn't anything special. He was just Daniel LaRusso, the poor Jersey kid from Reseda.
