AN: Wow guys I never expected this much from this! Almost 50 followers in 2 days! I'm hoping to keep this up for as long as I can, but if I suddenly drop off the internet please don't hate me ;-;. This chapter is a bit shorter, but I wanted the cut-off to make more sense so I did it here. Anyways, lets get into the next chapter!
Peter and Ned finished up their lunches, grateful that none of the Avengers had decided to eat in the cafeteria today. Neither of them could see any of the Avengers eating the school's food, especially Tony. They ran to their lockers, then down to the locker rooms for gym. Their class gathered in the hall outside the gym, waiting for their teacher to show up. Peter's Spidey senses told him someone was in the air vents, so their teacher had to be Clint.
When he didn't come down for five minutes the class started to get restless. They didn't know where their teacher was, and wanted to do something instead of standing by the gym freezing. Peter threw all caution to the wind and called up to the ceiling, "I know you're up there."
A panel of the air vents moved to the side and Clint fell down from it, scaring the people that hadn't seen the panel move. "Come on Pete, just had to ruin the fun for me," Clint said clapping Peter's shoulder. Peter glared at the man but didn't say anything. The gym was set up for dodgeball, something Peter never really liked, until after he got his powers. He tried to not use them as much as he could, but he couldn't stop the Spidey senses. And there was no way he was ignoring them either.
They split into teams, with a whispered warning from Clint of, "Don't cheat kid." As if, Peter wasn't quite ready for his alter-ego to be out to the public yet. Ned and Peter were on the same team, and when Clint blew his whistle to go, Peter ran up to the line and pushed as many balls back as he could. There was one perk to his Spidey senses- anytime someone aimed at him he would know, and by instinct, he would be able to move out of the way. The game went well, Peter got Flash out of the game, and Ned was able to stay in for most of it. Eventually, it came down to Peter and a boy from the football team, Garrett. Peter was sure he wouldn't lose, but whether he would win was another issue.
Peter's side has a majority of the dodgeballs on it, so if Peter could get one in the right spot, have the other player bend down to pick it up, then he can chuck it at him to win. It was simple, and most anyone could come up with it, but he knew Garrett wouldn't be expecting it. Peter lightly threw a ball, not intending to hit Garrett, and it rolled a few feet behind him. Laughing at Peter's attempt to win, Garrett turned around so his back was to Peter. As soon as Garrett's eyes were off of Peter, he grabbed a ball off the ground and threw it at Garret. Almost in slow-motion, the ball went through the air and landed on Garrett's turned back. He stumbled forwards, not prepared for the force of the ball.
Clint blew his whistle again, calling for the game to stop. There were only five minutes left until they could head back down to the locker rooms, so the older Avenger just lets the class sit around for a little. Clint came over to Peter and slapped his back a few times, being discreet enough no one in the class would question it. "I'm not sure whether or not you were cheating… you were definitely using that Spidey Sense without a doubt."
Peter raised his arms as if it was the obvious thing ever, "Well duh, I can't exactly ignore it. When you have an instinct that tells you whether or not you may be hit with something, you usually want to have it on at all times."
"Trust me, kid, I know. At least you didn't jump onto the ceiling or something," Clint laughed. "That would take some explaining."
"I'll leave that job to you," Peter said, heading down to the locker rooms after his classmates.
"Don't get sassy with me Parker!" Clint called after the teen.
"Whatever Katniss!" Peter shouted back.
They all got changed to go to their 8th-period class, which for Peter happened to be Chemistry. Given that Tony was doing Physics, it was a pretty good chance that Bruce would be doing Chemistry. And hopefully, Bruce wouldn't make a fool out of Peter.
Peter walked up to Chemistry with M.J. and Ned, taking their usual seats near the back. They waved to Banner on the way back, and Peter pulled out his phone to see the spam of chats from when he was in gym. Ned read the chats over Peter's shoulder, still not believing him.
12:53- IronDude: Waitwait, Cap still hasn't figured out how to change the text noise?
12:54- IronDude: I'm sure your class got a kick out of that
12:57- Capsicle: Shut it Stark. I'm sorry I'm not a tech genius that graduated MIT at 19.
12:58- IronDude: It was 17 but whatever. Have you heard from others yet?
12:59- Capsicle: Wouldn't they say something here? I haven't had a break yet. Why exactly did we agree to do this again?
12:59- IronDude: Idk, something about 'good role models' or something of the sort
1:00- NatWidow: I can guarantee you it wasn't for you all being 'good role models'
1:01- NatWidow: Honestly, have someone take one look at this and they'll be shocked by how incredibly stupid you all are.
1:01- IronDude: As it was just pointed out, I graduated MIT at 14. I'm not stupid
1:01- NatWidow: Come one someone has to back me up here
1:02- Katniss: I don't know guys… Peter seems to be the one with the most common sense here.
1:03- Katniss: He just beat that Garrett guy at dodgeball.
1:03- IronDude: That's right, get em Parker
1:04- NatWidow: Ok Peter's fine, all the rest of you are lost causes
1:04- Capsicle: Would you guys cut it out, I'm trying to teach here, and Stark isn't making it any easier
1:04- IronDude: No I won't cut it out, I'll fix it from my phone
1:05- Capsicle: How are yo- you know what I don't want to know
1:18- SpideyBoi: Love you too Nat 3
1:18- SpideyBoi: You all are dorks (Ned doesn't agree but he doesn't spend half of his waking time with you all.)
1:19: IronDude: Wow I'm offended now. Cap, you should be good, if you haven't noticed already. I set it to play the entire thing at the same time as the bells, and it changes back to the single line after school gets let out.
1:20- Capsicle: Gee thanks, just what I always wanted
1:21- IronDude: I know, that's why I did it. Hey kid, who do you have next?
1:21- SpideyBoi: Bruce, then I have no idea for 9th
1:22- IronDude: Hmm… I may take a field trip down the hall to Bruce's class this period
1:22- SpideyBoi: Please no
1:22- Capsicle: Too late, rest in peace Parker
Peter groaned and laid his head on the desk. "What's up Peter?" Ned asked, not following along with the most recent texts.
He turned his head and turned to his friend. "Stark is coming down this period. Calling it a 'field trip'. More like another reason to embarrass me," Peter grumbled. Ned laughed in spite of his friend and clapped his back.
"You'll be fine. Besides, he can't do too much without… well… you know," Ned tried to reassure Peter.
"Sush boys, unless you have something interesting going on," Bruce warned them, raising his eyebrows.
"Incoming," is all Peter said, but Bruce understood perfectly well. He reacted in a similar way to Peter, by groaning and throwing his head back.
"So much for that lesson plan," Peter heard Bruce mutter. Sure enough, three minutes later Tony showed up with his Physics class and had them take seats around the room.
"You don't seem too shocked to see me here Banner, finally decide to unmute the group-chat?" Tony teased Bruce as the students were still finding seats.
Bruce scoffed. "There's no way I'm unmuting that chat, and don't you dare hack my phone again. Someone else warned me," he said, nodding his head slightly in Peter's direction.
"Blame him," Tony laughed, "He was the one that mentioned he was here this period. So," Tony lowered his voice, not stupid enough to speak regularly around this many high schoolers, "ready to see Spidey Boy make his own mask?"
"You are truly evil, you know that right?" Bruce asked, shaking his head. "But knowing Parker he'll figure something out by Friday to get us back if we do anything too stupid. Just letting you know."
"Come on, it'll be worth it. Besides, if we get pictures we can tease him even longer about it," Tony begged.
The scientist groaned again but gave in. "Fine, but if he retaliates I'm not helping you get out of it."
"Deal," Tony said grinning. "Alright class, get settled. I'm sure you all are wondering why we came down here. The answer to that is simple; I wanted to." He flashed the class another grin, though Peter saw it differently than everyone else.
"Tony and I are the two main scientists of the Avengers. For obvious reasons, as our reasons for being on the team are self-created, intentionally or not. There is another scientist on the team, but he can't be here today," Bruce continued. Peter was just sitting there frozen. They wouldn't out him… would they? They're his teammates, and it would be low for them to reveal his identity. But was it low enough for Tony Stark was the real question.
"I've been texting him though, and he's sounding like he wants to show up some point this week, so we'll see if that happens," Tony said winking. NONONONONO is the only thought running through Peter's head. Yeah, he might show up as Spider-Man, but there's no way in hell he's not having his mask on during that. And he never mentioned wanting to come. Ever.
"If you had me this morning for Physics already, you know what we're going to do. Essentially it's a meet and greet, you ask us questions, we answer to the best of our knowledge, or what we know we won't be fired if we tell you. Or killed honestly," Tony said with a laugh. Yeah, Peter Parker would kill him if he mentioned anything about Spider-Man, especially Spidey Boy.
Thankfully the class asked questions for the entire period, so Tony didn't have time to pull anything on Peter. Only one person asked about Spider-Man, which was a question about his web shooters and how they worked. Tony didn't say much about it, but then again, the original web formula was made in the very room they were in, except only one person knew that. The class ended quickly enough, and they moved on to their final class. Having no idea who would be teaching Spanish, Peter was surprised to see Sam in the room. They smiled and waved at each other, then Peter went to his seat. Having an idea, he pulled his phone out of his pocket.
2:05- SpideyBoi: Should I meet you guys somewhere after 9th period since I'm going to the same place as you all? Or should I just swing home like usual?
2:05- FailSam: Dude, this chat is crazy just saying.
2:05- FailSam: But feel free to join us, I think we're meeting in Gym A.
2:05- SpideyBoi: Sounds good. Also, didn't know you know Spanish Sam
2:06- FailSam: That's the thing, I don't. Tony's the only one that has any idea, but you can't put Iron Man not in a science lab.
2:06- IronDude: Don't worry just have the class ask you questions or do some other Avengers-related thing and you're set for the period.
2:06- SpideyBoi: Honestly, the only class that we did anything not Avengers related was History, and it was people telling Cap what to talk about. I doubt anyone is expecting much else from this.
With that, Sam stood up. "I'm Sam, or the Falcon, one of the lesser known Avengers. Somehow. I have zero idea about anything Spanish related, so we're not going to do any of that this week," Sam explained walking in front of the desk and clapping his hands together. "So, who has questions for me?"
There were fewer questions for Sam than there were for Tony and Bruce of course, but that didn't mean there wasn't enough. Once there were no more questions they played the 'Who would win' game again. Spider-Man was only brought up once, against Cap again, and everyone but Peter thought Cap would win. Again. The bell didn't come too long after, and Peter lingered behind with Sam, and they walked across the school to the gym.
Tony and Wanda were already there, though Peter was sure Clint was hiding up in the air vents somewhere. Within five minutes the whole gang was there. Tony called Happy and had him bring a larger car than usual since there was eleven of them.
Before long Happy pulled up in the car, and everyone piled in. As soon as the door closed, Peter turned to Natasha. "Really? Just really?" he asked her.
"What did I do this time?" she replied, feigning innocence.
Peter glared at the female spy, "Why'd you have us play that game 4th period?"
"Ohhh that," Nat said grinning. "Just wanted to have a little fun. Besides, some of those combinations were interesting, to say the least."
Everyone else (minus Sam) just looked confused. "What game is this, it sounds irresponsible," Tony chipped in, leaning forward in his seat.
"You could say that," Peter muttered. Only Natasha, Bucky, and Clint were able to hear him, but the later two were still confused as to what the game was.
"I was bored during fourth period so I had the kids in there for study hall play a game where they picked two of you guys and chose which one they thought would win in a fight. Peter had some interesting arguments for some of them," Natasha explained to the rest of the team. Some people nodded in understanding, others still were confused. "My favorite one was Spidey versus Cap, Peter thought he would win, everyone else thought Cap would win."
"That one happened in my class too," Sam added. "Again, Pete thought he would win."
Peter just shook his head at his teammates. "If I remember correctly, I stole your shield quite a bit in Berlin, Cap," the teenager looked over at Steve.
"We don't speak of that event," Steve said, turning to look out the window. Everyone laughed in spite of him.
"What was another pairing?" Tony asked, wanting to know all the details.
"Well… someone put Parker and I against each other," Natasha said slowly. Peter laughed remembering their argument in front of the class. "Of course he thought he would win, and I thought I would win."
"Ohh, that's why the kid was saying 'don't you dare'," Tony finally understood. "I have no idea, but honestly, we should see for ourselves." He was smirking and was for sure going to get video of these fights.
Peter groaned, not wanting to get pulled into a mock fight. "If we must, why not. Tony, you better not get film of any of this," he warned.
"I would never do such a thing," Tony looked offended and put a hand over his arc-reactor. After suspicious looks from everyone, he caved, "Ok I would, but I'll only get the videos of the good stuff. I'm sure you'll want to show the class these?"
"Well… if Nat wins she will want to see it just to prove me wrong, but if I actually win then she'll delete them before they have a chance to be backed up," Peter said, making everyone around them laugh. They pulled up to the Tower and scanned their cards at a secret Avengers back entrance. After agreeing to do the mock fights, the two people involved went to their separate rooms to get their standard uniforms on. Peter's was a lot easier, especially since Tony had designed it to go on with a click of a button.
They all made their way to a training room and took a spot on either side of the room. The rest of the team huddled around the door and walls to both watch and be there in case someone actually got hurt.
"On my count," Steve said, standing in the middle of the room. "Three, two, one, go!" At 'go' the two Avengers headed for each other, dodging punches and throwing them at the other person. At one point Peter had to jump onto the ceiling to avoid being thrown to the ground by Nat.
"Oh come on that's cheating," Nat called up to Peter after he clung to the ceiling.
"Ehh, I wouldn't exactly call it cheating, it's just using what you are able to use," Peter called back. He jumped down, then landing on her shoulders, knocking the spy to the ground. He then used his web-shooters to pin her down and stood up to admire his work. Brushing his hands together like he was wiping dust off of them, he asked, "So, do you believe I would win now?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever kid. Can you get me free of this stuff now?" Nat asked, rolling her eyes. Peter grabbed a few bottles of water off of a shelf and poured it all over Natasha. It caused the webs to disintegrate, while also soaking the spy trapped beneath them. "Was that really necessary?" she asked, spitting water out of her mouth and standing up.
Peter tilted his head and gave her a grin from underneath his mask, "Technically no, but hey, you're up and moving now."
"Don't make me knock you over now," Natasha threatened, turning her body to face the teen.
"Ok, ok I'm sorry," Peter said laughing, though he raised his hands in surrender. Nat gave him a similar grin that Peter had just given her and walked out of the room to go change. Peter followed after her, though he failed to mention to everyone else a muscle spasm in his right shoulder. It should heal overnight was the only thought Peter put into it.
