Dumb jokes are Peter Parker's whole deal okay. That's what he lives and breathes.
But - anyway. More important things. Peter's ... not expecting that comment? Not after Héctor looks frankly kind of stricken, and seems to take multiple attempts to find his voice. He's expecting questions about how he'd worried May, or what kind of life he could have possibly lived before that would prompt him to try to fight a massive monster like that. Maybe some judgement of his aunt and uncle that he'd have to vigorously defend. Or of the Avengers, who ... would probably deserve more judgement.
He doesn't expect - well, that. In Peter's defense, he seems entirely oblivious to where Héctor's going with this. If there's anything he's hiding, then it's clearly not on purpose. "What?" he says, looking at Héc like he might be a little bit crazy. Or just stressed out from the night, which is completely understandable. "I didn't see anything like that," he says. "Are you sure it happened?"
He's asking genuinely here, because he's so confused. Not denying that Héctor saw anything! But deeply uncertain about where Héc is even going with this. Poor Héctor will have to spell it out for him for Peter to even mention what Fisher had said about being held together with magic and stupid disbelief.
