Peter has done both of those things - accidentally, on both counts - but it's sure not where his head goes. No, when Rex mentions the worst thing, of course it's Uncle Ben. There's nothing else it even could be.
He's not going to give Rex the whole story. No one on the planet has the whole story except Peter himself, and if Orihime and Héctor and Aunt May aren't getting it, Rex sure won't. But. He earns points for being calm first, and respectful of Peter's feelings second. Clearly he's not demanding answers, and that ... hell, that goes a long way with Peter.
"You don't," he admits after a moment. "I didn't - I didn't mean what happened. To him. But it still happened, and if I'd chosen differently, he'd be alive."
Not murdered in an alleyway by a lycan for the crime of searching for a missing nephew who refused to stay safe at night, despite them having fought just earlier that same day.
