okay so I pretty much wrote this minutes before I posted and its more filler chapter. I wasn't sure at first where I wanted the story to go but now I have a pretty good idea, so on with the story. enjoy, howdy-jane x
After we got back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters Ava chewed me out pretty good but she got especially annoyed when I "wouldn't look at her". I nearly laughed at the irony but then I realised I was facing a wall and laughing at walls never convinces people you are of sound mind.
All I wanted to do when I got back was get checked out to find if my blindness is temporary or not but that would alert Fury to my compromising state and I cannot face the wrath of both Ava and Nick Fury.
This is why I am now spending lots of time on changing out of my hero costume. It's lucky I only have a plain t-shirt on because I'm pretty sure it's on backwards. After we got back and Ava had ranted herself hoarse, Luke proclaimed we were going to get pizza, even including me this time.
The others don't usually bother; they seem to think that my social level is below them I just think that their awesome level is way below mine.
I left one of the private rooms, slipping on some dark sunglasses. I still hadn't really gotten over the shock that I couldn't see anything, it felt like everything would go back to normal when I opened my eyes but then I realise they were never closed.
The others must had been waiting for me, when I finally made my way back to the main deck.
'Why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?' asked Ava staunchly, I plastered a confident smile on my face.
'Only wearing them outside is too mainstream and a little offensive when you think about it; I mean why shouldn't you wear sunglasses indoors?' I said rambling like usual, I mentally slapped myself for my idle mouth.
'Right...' Luke said slowly, clearly disbelieving but I just shrugged and made my way towards the sound of their voices. Suddenly a thought came to mind.
'Did you guys find what we needed from the mission?' I asked casually, trying not to sound too odd.
'Yes we did.' Said Danny in his usual calm voice and Sam gave a short bark of a laugh.
'Oh yeah we found the information before you, didn't we?' he exclaimed happily, shouting in my face. I wanted to contradict him but I wasn't sure how long I had been out for before I met up with the others so he may still be correct.
'Did you find anything Peter?' asked Danny conversationally, I didn't feel in the mood to tell them about my defeat to the mysterious villain.
'That's not the point...' I grumbled to myself with a shrug of my shoulders.
'HA! I knew it, web-head found nothing!' Sam hollered even happier, if that's even possible. I grit my teeth and clench my hands into fists to stop myself saying something I will regret later.
'Come on guys, I'm starving!' groaned Luke and the rest of us quickly following before we take a teleportation beam back down to the city.
**********************************************************************************I walked into someone again before hastily apologising; this wasn't the first time this had happened today. I felt someone grab my arm in an iron grip, making me jump.
'Yo, Pete how long have you been blind?' asked the deep voice of Luke in an undertone, I stopped in shock. I tried to play it off as disbelief.
'If I'm blind does that make you my guide dog?' I joked pathetically, causing Luke to growl in a slightly menacing way and I laughed nervously. He obviously wasn't buying it, so I tried a different tactic that kept my macho status.
'I'm fine, seriously getting the hang of it and anyway it may not be permanent.' I said my voice raising a slightly, Luke just sighed.
'You know I'm actually considering getting you guide dog or I might tell white tiger.' He said in a slightly laughing undertone. Oh god what if he told the others, I would be screwed.
'Please don't tell the others, seriously I take it back man, you are not a guide dog!' I said a little too loudly, the others turning at the sound of my shout, I grinned impishly.
'Nothing to see, move along folks!' I said in a brisk fashion before quieting my tone again.
'Seriously, if Ava finds out then she will tell fury and fury will kick me off the team while bucket head over there laughs at my face.' I said running a hand through my hair nervously.
'Web-head you are facing the wrong way again.' Luke said bluntly, turning me slowly in the right direction. I pout my lips in a puppy dog sort of way but the effect is wrecked by the sun glasses.
'What are you doing with your face?' he asked abruptly, sounding a little uncomfortable but I still keep the same expression.
'Please, don't tell them, please!' I plead, already coming up with things I can offer him for his silence.
'Fine! Fine, but please stop making that face; I think it gave me a disease.' He said finally and I grinned ecstatically.
'Thankyouthankyouthankyoutha-'
'But, you need to have your eyes checked because if it's permanent then you are useless and keeping it a secret would be pointless.' He warned me carefully, but I snorted.
'My eyes will be fine, they seem slightly better than earlier anyway.' I said shaking off the warning.
'It's just lucky, I have to walk past your house on the way back to mine because you nearly just walking into another sign post again.' He sighed in a long-suffering way before steering me in the right direction.
'Aww, Power man I didn't know you enjoyed my company so much!' I exclaimed happily, and to his credit he did chuckle under his breath.
'Well you seem to be doing a fine job of getting caught wounded but over-all you're not that bad Parker.' I heard the smirk in his voice and I grinned cockily, yeah Luke wasn't so bad either.
