Peter was cruising through the city with his backpack. He was still going to see Tony, but he had to make a detour first. He was following MJ.

Turns out, it'd become a habit. Sometimes, he'd be following her and he didn't even know it. Just like now.

Only he wasn't swinging, he was running and jumping from building to building. Kinda parkour style. He was trying to stay outta sight so that MJ wouldn't have another reason to be mad at him on Monday when they talked.

He stopped on top of a building and watched as she walked towards the New York Public Library.

'Wonder what she's going in there for.' He thought to himself.

He backed away from the edge of the building he was on enough to where he was out of sight from the library steps. Good thing he did too, cause she felt eyes on her and looked around. But she didn't see anyone that was familiar to her.

Shaking it off, she kept on until she was in the library.

Back with Peter, he was laying on his back, staring into the sky. Thinking about his decision, and what it would've been if he gave a different response.

His thoughts were broken by the sounds of his phone ringing. He reached into his backpack, pulled it out and answered it.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hey Peter!" It was Ned. "We still on for Star Wars tonight?"

Peter mentally slapped himself. He'd been so focused on MJ and their "breakup" that he had completely forgotten about him and Ned's Star Wars Marathon that night.

"Oh crap, I forgot! Um, yeah. We're still on. If everything goes good today."

"What do ya mean? What's goin on?"

There was a silence. Peter never did tell Ned about the "breakup" and he was kinda worried too.

"Peter?"

"Um...something happened between me and MJ last night."

There was that silence again. This was getting slightly awkward.

"Oh my god! Did you guys... ya know?"

Ok. This took an even more off turn.

"What?! No! NO! Ned, nothing like that!"

Of all things to come to Ned, his dirty mind had to give a suggestion.

"Oh. Ok, then why do you sound so nervous?"

"...Um...well, it's kinda weird but it makes sense...Kinda."

"Tell me, dude. I can handle it."

Peter was skeptical about telling Ned about his relationship ship with MJ. But he was his best friend, as was MJ. And he never kept a secret from Ned...Except for being Spider-Man before he found out.

"Ok." He gave in as he began to explain what had happened the previous night.

So after at least an hour of explaining about what happened and Ned jumping in and asking questions, Peter finally finished.

"Wow man. Superheroes have some pretty complicated lives. If it's not your secret identity, then it's your relationship."

Peter was gonna say something to that, but as he thought about it, it turns out Ned was kinda right. He couldn't speak for all heroes everywhere, but he was sure that at some point.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Well, it's a good thing you're trying to surprise her though. That'll really make her happy."

"I sure hope so. Hey, I gotta head to Mr. Delmar's to meet Happy. But I appreciate the support, Ned."

"Hey, it's been an honor, Spider-Man."

Peter chuckled at that before they both hung up. Putting his phone back in his backpack, he strapped it on and headed to Mr. Delmar's.

Peter had changed in an alley nearby before walking across the street to the new corner store/deli. He walked in to see Happy eating one of Mr. Delmar's sandwiches.

"Hey Happy! Hey Mr. Delmar." He said waving to both of them.

"Hey, Mr. Parker!" The deli owner happily greeted as he pulled a bag from behind the counter. "I heard you were coming and got this ready for ya. It's on the house."

"Wow, thanks," the Friendly Neighborhood Hero replied before turning back to Happy. "What do ya think, Happy?"

Happy was too busy enjoying his sandwich to speak, so he replied with a simple, "Mmm Hmm!"

Peter chuckled at that. It made him feel good to someone else was enjoy what in his mind were the best sandwiches in Queens.

"So, hows that girlfriend of yours, Peter?" Mr. Delmar asked.

"Uh...um...it's..it's complicated. But hopefully, it'll get better."

The deli owner nodded in understanding. He knew how the young generation was. Not this NEW one, but still.

"Hey, just keep your chin up kid and do the best you can."

Peter nodded. He hoped that what he was doing could be counted as his best. Hopefully.

He came back to reality when Happy finished his sandwich with satisfaction.

"Alright! Man, that was good. Mr. Delmar, I'll definitely give this place 5 stars."

"Ah thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed it."

"Ok, you ready to go, kid?" He asked.

Peter nodded as they headed out. "Later Mr. Delmar! And thanks again."

"No problem, kid. See ya around."

Peter and Happy got into the car and drove off to head for the Avengers Compound. Hopefully, the reason Peter was going could happen.

There's that chapter. Sorry if there wasn't as much talking with Ned as you hoped, but Ned will have a bigger role soon. Next up is Tony Stark! And some of the other Avengers too. So I hope you guys enjoyed this and I'll see y'all later! NinjaBoy out!
