Health was pretty boring. Plus it was the Unit all about Drugs and Alcohol, they already knew all of this stuff. "How can one be so advanced for their time, yet create weapons that destroy their own kind?" Danny asked under his breath. Okay, maybe not everyone knew this stuff. Peter gave a soft chuckle and continued taking his notes. His mind wondered off from the lesson and back to Addie. It was clear she knew what she was doing, but why? She had said she needed some parts for a project she was working on. If he was smart-which he is-he would bring backup. Some S.H.E.I.L.D agents or his team, but he didn't know who he was dealing with yet, and he didn't want to risk hurting his friends.

"What are you thinking about?" Danny asked, interrupting Peter's thoughts. "Oh, nothing. Just how lung cancer is...growing..." Peter said. Danny closed his notebook and placed his pencil on top of it. "Peter. Do you not trust us?" Danny asked. "What? No, I do trust you" Peter countered. "Then why won't you tell me what is wrong?" Danny asked. "I just can't okay" Peter answered. "Is it Fury? Or Coulson?" Danny asked. "No" Peter said, continuing to write down the notes on the board in front of the class. "Is it Sam?" Danny questioned. "No" Peter repeated. "Is it school? Addie?" Danny asked again. "No" Peter said. "What is wrong with Addie? Do you know her?" Danny asked.

Of course Danny would be able to see right past his obvious lie. "No. No, I don't know her." Peter answered truthfully. "Is she in danger?" Danny asked. "What is this an interrogation?" Peter whisper-shouted. "I only want to know what is bothering my friend." Danny answered. "So, is Addie in danger?" Danny paused, furrowing his brows "Or is Addie the danger?" Danny asked. Years in K'un L'un had helped him with searching for and spotting tells when one is lying. For Peter, his tell was his hands. Peter always rubbed his thumb against his pointer finger when he lied.

"Peter, are you in danger?" Danny asked, very seriously. "Danny, I'm fine. Just pay attention to the lesson, you need to know this stuff if you're staying here for another full year." Peter answered. Danny took in a short breath as he jotted down the newly written notes.


The bell rang and the group met back up in the back courtyard. Minus Harry. "I've gotta go," MJ started, "I promised Harry I'd help him with his English project." MJ waved goodbye and left. "I've got to bounce, too." Addie spoke. "I'm meeting someone important and I can't miss it" Addie explained, waving as her eyes locked with Peter's. "Hey, you alright man? You seem a bit tense." Luke asked. "I'm fine. Just a lot of homework" Peter responded. Danny said nothing as he walked forward with no explanation, following MJ and Addie's path. "Where's he going?" Ava asked. "Who knows. Hey, if Danny isn't back before curfew, can I have his room?" Sam asked. Peter rolled his eyes as he followed his team to the tricarrier. He didn't know what Danny was up to, he just hoped his friend wouldn't get involved. This was between him and Addie.

All through training, Peter's mind couldn't stop thinking about Addie. Her words echoed and bounced around in his brain. Seal Bank down town. Noon. There was school tomorrow. How was he going to get all the way down town by twelve? He could just skip, but then Coulson would know something was up. No, he could just sneak out during lunch. Lunch was at 11:45, that would give him just enough time to change and find the Seal Bank.

"Good work team, go hit the showers then it's off to bed." Coulson's voice came over the speakers. Of course no one would notice Iron Fist was missing. Or they did notice and didn't care. He was always at every training session so he could get off the hook more easily. Addie's words didn't help ease Peter's mind. Don't tell them about this or someone will be missing tomorrow. Peter prayed to every Norse God out there that Danny would be at school in the morning, if anything happened to his friends, it would be his fault.


Morning came way too early for Peter's liking, but he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to. He quickly snagged an apple and some toast Aunt May laid out for him as he headed out the door. As usual, MJ and Ava were already there. "Hey Pete." MJ smiled. "Hey MJ. Did you and Harry finish that English project?" Peter asked. "Sort of. I ended up doing most of the work while Harry had a melt down." MJ laughed. Peter giggled along with her. Ever since Ava, Luke, Danny and Sam came to the school, he hadn't been able to hang out with his original group of friends. Peter's joy was quickly killed as Addie entered the picture. "Hey guys" "Hey Addie, how was your first day?" Ava questioned.

"It was better than I expected, except this one guy who told me to be careful or I'd get this thing called 'Locker Knocker Time'?" Addie answered. MJ laughed, "I think we know who you're talking about. His name is Flash Thompson and he thinks he's all that, but as long as you don't provoke him, he'll leave you alone." MJ explained. "Hey guys, what's up?" Sam's voice rolled out. "Nothing much" Addie jumped in. "Hey, did Danny make it home?" Peter asked. The team automatically knew he was talking about the tricarrier, and Luke answered.

"Yeah he did, but he was acting real weird. Weirder than normal." Luke said. "Yeah, after he skipped uh, practice, he came back seven minutes before curfew and he didn't talk. He just went straight to his room" Ava continued, using the word practice for their training sessions. "Weird" Addie whispered. Peter couldn't help but feel as if Addie had something to do with Danny's behavior. Before Peter had a chance to question Addie, Harry came running towards them.

"Look whose late now" Peter joked. "Ha ha ha, so funny" Harry mocked. "My alarm didn't go off or something" Harry said, "Sure" MJ taunted. "Danny's catching up with me" Harry said as he caught his breath. True to his word, a few seconds later the group could see the calm blonde walking slowly towards them. "Hey Danny, how'd you sleep?" Ava asked cautiously. "Fine" Danny answered, "I did have a strange dream though" Danny added. "What was it about?" MJ asked.

"Nothing important. We should get to class before we are late." Danny ushered. Peter gave a puzzled look to Danny, but Danny just shook his head and walked inside. Peter knew Addie was behind this. He didn't have any of his friends in his first hour class, but second hour was PE, he had almost everyone with him in that class. His first class, English, was pretty boring. The teacher couldn't care less about the students, but that was what Peter was counting on. There was no way Peter would think about skipping class, but maybe he could have an extended bathroom break.

After asking if he could leave, Peter quickly walked down the halls and looked both ways before hopping onto the lockers and lifting up the tiles on the ceiling. Peter sat down and took out his communicator. "Fury? Fury. I need to talk to you" Peter said as his communicator came to life. "This better be good, Parker. Aren't you supposed to be in class?" Furry asked. "Yeah, because it's super important for Spider-Man to be able to conjugate verbs." Peter said sarcastically. "Furry, you have to listen to me. This new girl, Addie, she gives off a bad vibe. Spidey sense, remember" Peter reminded.

"I'd love to say you're wrong, kid. But our intel says crime rate is steadily rising and I don't want to have to take a chance." Furry answered. "Whoa, did you just agree with me?" Peter asked. "Just get back to class and stay silent, we've got this." Furry said to Peter. "Wait, Fury. I know where the next crime is going to take place!" Peter said before Fury left. "Really? And where might that be?" Fury asked, sarcasm and boredom clear in his voice. "The Seal Bank down town at Noon today." Peter answered. "We'll get some S.H.E.I.L.D agents down there as soon as we can, don't leave school." Fury ordered before the communicator went dark.

"Yeah, right. Like that's going to happen." Peter said to himself. The bell rang and Peter quickly changed into his P.E uniform and headed down to the gym. Meeting up with Ava, Luke, and Danny, Peter waved as he sat down on the benches waiting for roll call. "Hey, Danny. Can I talk to you for a second?" Peter asked. "Of course, what is wrong my friend?" Danny asked. "You. I wanted to ask you a few questions about last night." Peter said. "Oh. What questions?" Danny wondered. "Where did you go after you left?" Peter asked. "I had my suspicions about someone familiar and I wanted to see if I was correct." Danny answered. "Were you?" Peter questioned. "Yes"

"Arris" The coaches voice boomed through the room. "Here" A kid answered. "Anderson" "Here" "Ayala" "Present" "Breaker" "Hello" "Cage" "Here"

Roll call went on for a few more minutes before Peter's name was called. "Parker" "Here" "Quincy" "I'm here" "Rand" "Present"

The first thing they had to do was warm-ups, which meant running around the gym. It wasn't that hard for the four members of the team, but for their sake they slowed their pace to a normal looking run. After running they had to stretch and the classes always had to separate, so while Ava was on one side of the gym, Peter, Danny and Luke were on the other side. While reaching to touch his hands to his feet, Luke looked over to his first friend and whispered, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I am grateful for your concern, but I am fine, thank you." Danny said as his arms retreated back to his sides.
