Chapter 4
A/N: Just a little bit more patience before her powers are revealed XD A short chapter again, the next one should be longer again! Thank you for your support, enjoy!
When Paige walked up to Peter the next day, she knew exactly what she was doing.
"Hey, Peter!" She called loudly enough for him to hear amid all the noise.
He turned towards her. "Paige, hey!"
"Can I talk to you for a moment? Ned can stay, just know it's about the internship…" she trailed off, convinced that Peter would rather talk in private.
The teen turned towards his friend and with an exchange of looks, Ned walked further away.
"What about the internship?" Peter asked.
"You should come over, there's something we need to discuss", Paige announced formally.
"W-what do you mean?" His brows furrowed.
"I'm going to be the link between you and my dad during your internship from now on."
"Wait, isn't that Happy's job?" Peter objected.
"Yes, but you've met him, right? Happy is nice but he isn't exactly the patient type."
"And you are… the patient type?"
The boy was lost. Understandable.
"More than Happy. With a dad like mine it's better to have nerves of steel." She laughed it off. "Can you come over at the tower tonight? I mean after school, it shouldn't be long." Paige added.
Peter stared curiously at the girl in front of him. He always expected her to be shy, seeing how much time she spent alone. But not once had she ever hesitated. Not just today, but when they had worked together on projects as well. She was confident with her words.
"Sure!" He finally answered.
"Nice! See you after school", Paige concluded before walking away.
Ned joined Peter back.
"Dude, what was that about?" He wondered.
"I think I'll have to work with her for my internship… kinda."
"What? She's barely acceptable in science though!"
"Yeah… I know, but it's not like I had the choice. I mean, she's Mr. Stark's daughter!"
"Yeah, doesn't change the fact that she knows nothing about physics!"
Peter thought about it as they walked to their first class. Did she know anything? If so, how? Had she heard it from someone, had she just been told? Why would they replace Hogan with her? He had a hard time gulping. What was going on?
