"You sure you can handle this?" Osborn was watching the screen in front of him, the video feed playing on a loop.
"Of course I can. What, do you doubt me?" The person behind him replied. They, too, were watching the video feed.
"Not a bit." Osborn turned to look at the assassin leaning against his desk.
The assassin smiled. "Good."
Parker rolled out of bed, wandering off toward the bathroom. He arrived at school in time for first period. Luckily he wasn't late. Glancing around the classroom, he scouted out his usual spot next to Harry. He dropped his stuff next to the middle seat in the three seat table.
"Hey," Pete said as he sat down.
"Hey, Pete," Harry replied. They would have talked more if the bell hadn't rung, signaling the start of class. Colson walked in, causing a collective groan to go through the class. If Colson was teaching, it would probably be another class on the benefits of eating tofu- loaf.
"Settle down, everybody," Colson said, standing at the front desk. "Now, I would like to introduce your new classmate."
A girl walked through the door, and Pete's eyes widened. Her appearance was overall stunning. Long red hair hung to her waist, lace up black boots with flat heels went up to her knees. Her skin tight jeans slid smoothly into her boots, and her leather jacket covered whatever shirt she was wearing underneath. You could just see the hem of a red shirt poking out from under the jacket near her waist, about where her hair ended.
"This is Megan Valdez; she'll be in this class from now on." Colson cast his eyes around the room, looking for an empty seat. "You can sit next to Peter Parker in the back."
The girl moved smoothly toward the seat. She sat as if she would have to make a run for the door at any second, perched on the edge of the chair, muscles taut.
At lunch, the whole SHEILD team was assembled in front of Colson's desk for some unknown reason.
"Right, as you all know, a girl transferred into this school today. I want you to be careful when dealing with her."
"Why?" Ava asked from where she stood at the corner of Colson's desk.
"She has a… history with SHEILD, and is not to be trusted under any circumstances."
"Then why was she admitted to this school?" Ava demanded.
"As it is, we have no right to deny her education at this school, but… I feel it is only necessary to warn you guys. Be on your guard." The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, and the end of the discussion.
