[Though it's a simple thing to seize on, the handling of frustration requires of anyone a certain level of fearlessness. For frustration brings along consequences. Peter is a normal human with a fear of failure, perhaps of being abandoned - he needs more time to tell - who responds to his dread with anger.

It's a fact, though, that he can't be scared. He always gives into fear; he'd embraced it, back in his childhood and again in Arkham's basement; and he'd become it.

He doesn't attempt to hide that he's unafraid. His expression remains perfectly calm and controlled, and his eyes even shine a little curiously.]

Soon as the barrel is pointed between our eyes, we shiver and believe we're condemned to die, and begin to count down time itself. I can imagine such a desparate situation must have been terrifying.
