-Sienna's POV-
While most of my life was in complete controlled chaos, I had one sometimes horrible constant.
School.
More specifically, school projects.
See my school was one of those schools that prepared us for the future, which meant a lot more projects were given rather than tests. Normally, that would be great. But if you're going out and being a superhero every other night and organizing the launch of a multimillion dollar company, it just overwhelms you.
So here I was the night before my giant history/science report on Bruce Banner was due staring at a blank screen trying to piece together both an essay and a powerpoint.
It should be easy enough, I knew, no I know, him. I talked to him about his achievements and he was even my doctor at one point.
Still, it took me an hour just to write one paragraph.
Vision was staying with me and while he had tried to help, he never really talked to Bruce so he wasn't much help. Peter was also staying up trying to finish his report on Howard Stark which he found out was a lot harder to do since Howard really wasn't great person later in life, and if we did try to work together it would be unlikely that anything would get done.
Six hours later, with breaks of course, I finished my project. It was nearly one in the morning but the powerpoint was short and sweet and the essay was nearly twelve pages.
Perfect.
The next morning I drank a giant cup of coffee and brought some more for the ride to school.
"You procrastinate again." MJ said.
"Is it obvious?"
"You're walking slower than usual, slight bags under your eyes, and your jacket is somehow inside out. But you don't look nearly as bad as Ned. He fell asleep on the bus."
"I should have brought more coffee." I replied and fixed my jacket.
Peter came up behind me and nudge me a bit.
"Hello." I turned around and tried messing with his hair.
"Hey!" Peter swatted my hand away.
"You two are disgusting, don't stop." MJ said.
Once history came we were both slightly more awake than before. History was the only class that we had together but weren't sitting together in which did little to help my nervousness. Some projects were clearly rushed, but who was I to judge. Not everyone could master the fine art of procrastination.
Right before I was about to go Mr. Wells from US History came over with his class. Apparently their projector was acting up and he had a couple of students who still need to present. This would have been fine, except no other than Flash Thompson was in that class.
"Go ahead Sienna, sorry for the interruption." Mr. Wells said.
"No problem." I took a deep breath and looked a Peter for reassurance then began,
"Bruce Banner was known for several things." Next slide, "Although having a difficult childhood, he became a pioneer in modern physics and studied at some of the top universities in the nation including Harvard." Next slide, "It was during these years he drew inspiration from none other than Albert Einstein, this spilled into his fashion sense as well as he would start to wear mainly purples from now on."
A few people giggled at this, but I couldn't tell if they were laughing at the fact or me.
"Dr. Banner would later go on to have an, incident at one of his test sites. Afterwards he struggled with his mental health, but still wanted to help the world. He went to India and became a medical doctor there, he traveled the world helping others. Eventually he returned to the US and started up new projects. Unfortunately he went missing about four years ago and has not been heard from since. He is remembered as someone who cared about other and just wanted what was best of the rest of the world. Hopefully one day he will be found"
I wrapped up the presentation.
"Thank you Sienna, up next, Mr. Thompson."
Flash got up and started his presentation.
"My presentation was on the leaks of 2014. Black Widow is the supposed leaker of this information, which include classified documents from SHIELD and HYDRA as well as a list of people that were deemed threats and were to be, taken cared of. The idea was to neutralize the threat before it became an issue. Here's a list of people who were deemed threats."
I froze in my seat, my dad was on that list, I was on that list.
"These people ranged from the ordinary person to some more familiar faces." He skipped to the next slide which had pictures of Steve Rogers, my dad, Natasha, and some other Avengers.
"Luckily, Captain America and Black Widow stopped this and I'm sure we all remember that on the news."
He continued on, but I stopped listening. I remembered that day, when little red dots appeared on my chest and Mom wouldn't tell me why they appeared. All she did was convince me to play hide and seek in one of the Hulk safe rooms in the tower. I was always told to stay out of those rooms unless it was an emergency.
The bell rang a few minutes later, "We will wrap up presentation tomorrow, well done Eugene."
I was the first one out the door.
"Sienna!" I heard Peter shout behind me, "Hey wait up!"
I kept walking until I reached my locker.
"Sienna!" Peter finally caught up to me, "Look, Flash had a horrible presentation. Honestly he really did."
"Peter, he had the names of everyone that were going to be killed on that presentation. My name is on that list. Just when I think, oh this is going to be a normal day, it isn't because no matter what Stark is going to be my defining feature." I sighed, "Maybe I'm just being overdramatic."
"You are not." Peter turned me around to face him, "I'm going to talk to Flash later. It wasn't cool, that presentation."
"Don't, please don't blow it up. It's just a presentation." I told him.
"I'll won't!" Peter assured me.
Four periods and a lunch later, it was the end of the school day. There was no decathlon practice today, so Peter and I planned to do some extra patrolling.
"So there's this new ice cream place that opened up and they have mochi so we should go there this weekend." Ned said, "They also have a trivia night where groups of four compete to win free ice cream for a year and we're all basically geniuses so."
"That actually sounds super fun." I said.
"I'm always a fan of free things I work for." MJ shrugged.
"Oh crap. I left my water bottle in the gym. I'll be right back." I said.
"I'll join, I think I left a drawing pencil by the bleachers. Some idiot bumped into me and ruined my drawing." MJ joined me.
We found our lost object quickly since Coach was really nice and left lost things by the locker rooms.
When we were walking back to Ned and Peter, we heard something or someone slam into the lockers.
"What was that?" MJ asked me.
"Oh no." I said. We both made the same conclusion.
We sprinted over as fast as we could and shoved through the small crowd forming around the commotion. MJ, being about five inches taller than me, saw what was happening before I made my way to the front of the crowd.
Flash had slammed Peter into the lockers and was grabbing his shirt.
"Peter!" I shouted and was about to run into the middle when MJ grabbed my wrist.
"Imagine if they saw Sienna Stark run into a fight." She whispered.
She was right. This minor thing could blow up quickly and escalate a lot faster for us all.
"Guys c'mon this is lame. Right Stacy?" MJ asked the newly crowned popular girl that had taken Michelle's place. Stacy was also trying to get on the decathlon team and would do anything to please MJ.
"Yeah, guys let's go." She turned around and led her little group away along with the football team. The rest of the crowd followed out the door.
"What were you saying Parker?" I heard Flash ask as he tightened his grip on Peter.
"Peter, he's not worth it." I slowly walked over, "Flash, seriously? Thought you were better than this."
"We're just talking Stark, now run off with your dad to whatever exotic vacation you go to every weekend and get picked up by that limon that drops you off everyday." Flash mumbled under his breath.
I was about to respond when Peter broke out of Flash's grip and threw him to the ground.
"Peter don't!" I shouted and pulled him back, "Please."
"Mr. Parker, Mr. Thompson. My office now."
(An hour later)
I texted Happy that I was staying behind for some after school help, not mentioning anything about Peter getting pulled into the Principal's office.
I waited outside with MJ and Ned until they had to go and watched as Flash's dad came into the office, May was working today and wouldn't be able to come in.
After what seemed an entire day, Peter walked out.
"One lunch detention." He held up the pink slip.
"What the heck. That's not fair. You did nothing wrong he was attacking you to start." I said, half tempted to go back and ask the principal to lower Peter's punishment.
"Flash's dad acted as his lawyer, I didn't want to get Mr. Stark involved. May is going to kill me." Peter said.
"What even happened?" I asked, "All I see if Flash pinning you to the lockers and then you just snap."
"I heard him talking about you, saying how you were only in Midtown because of Mr. Stark and he called you dumb and I stepped in and then yeah. You saw the rest." Peter shifted his weight.
"I don't need someone protecting my name, it's been through the mud and back. Several times by many people." I held his hand and we started walking outside.
"Yeah but, he shouldn't be one of those people! No one should! You're smart, and kind, and work hard, and kind of pretty." Peter started blushing.
"Only kind of?" I pouted.
"You know what I mean." Peter said awkwardly.
"I do." I stopped and stood my tip toes, "And thank you, I guess. But seriously, you don't have to do that. I thought you had a brain along with that face."
"What does that mean?" Peter asked.
"It means you should think before you risk ruining your kind of pretty face." I pecked him on the cheek, "And also you're insanely strong so I'd be careful."
"I held back." Peter defended himself.
"Still, just be careful." I leaned into him a bit, "Now can we go on patrol?"
Patrol that day was hectic. For some reason everyone felt the need to commit crimes on a school night. We stop a bicycle thief, a robber, a mugging (actually two were going on at the same time so we had to split up for a bit), and a bank robbery.
The bank was the hardest part of the night and resulted in Peter getting cut up since one of the guys came at us with several knives.
"It's going to sting." I said as I patched him up, "Can't risk an infection."
"Just get it over with." Peter sighed.
"Those knives are getting sharper, you need stronger material in the suit." I said.
"But the suit is fine! Just, didn't expect that guy to have twenty knives." Peter responded, grimmincing as I cleaned his wounds, "Wait why are you using a Hello Kitty bandaid?"
"It's all that's left in the first aid kit." I smiled, "And even if the suit is fine doesn't mean it can't be fixed. I'll have to see what I can do about a stronger suit."
"Well you should probably get a stronger suit before I do. At least I heal quickly."
"My helmet is made of vibranium, the armor is as close to vibranium as it gets." I explained, "And just because you heal quickly doesn't mean you don't feel pain."
"True." Peter shrugged, "I forgot about the math homework can you-"
"I'll send you a picture of it." I said, "At least one of us is on top of things."
"We're a pretty good team don't you think?"
"Yeah, even if I do all the math around here."
"Hey!"
A/N: Hello! The last few weeks have been super hectic so sorry about the super late update. Hopefully I can get back on schedule for next week. Also, sorry that the chapter seems all over the place, but I'm setting up the next plot line so there are going to be a couple "fluff" chapters. I am also writing another story that will crossover with this one! Also, INFINITY WAR IS COMING OUT A WEEK EARLIER AH.
(Let me know what you thought and thanks for reviewing/following/favoriting love you all!)
