Chapter 10: Glasses
I get a phone call in my cellphone making me stir in my sleep and open my eyes, I look around and see MJ is in the room sleeping, I sit up slowly feeling a little better from today's strike.
"Zig, get that or I'm gonna physically hurt you" - said MJ
"Sorry" - I said and grab my phone - "I'm gonna take this outside" - I say
"Just let me sleep dude" - said MJ as I get out of the room
"Hello?" - I say answering the phone
"Hey little Zig, why don't you come outside, walk to your left, I'm expecting you in the 11 house" - said Beck on the other line and hang up
I let out a sigh and look around hopefully everybody is sleep, I get down to the lobby and see the receptionist sleep on the chair with his arms crossed over his chest, the man seems a bit old for the job and he was wearing sunglasses even at night, which is confusing but I brush it off and slowly walk out to not call his attention.
Once I'm out I walk to the direction Beck gave me knocking on the door of the 11 house on the left and in short he opens the door grabs me by the arm and pull me inside the house to be with him.
"Good job today, really top notch Zig" - says Beck
"Well...thank-" - I start to say
"I'm not finished" - he interrupted making me shut up - "all was good, except the part that when I give you and order you have to TAKE IT!" - He yells at me making me scare and get a shock that makes me kneel on the floor
"I'm...sorry" - I say between holding on the pain of the shock
"Thanks to our team, we could pull through your stupid feelings and do the job right, since YOU don't want to do it when I'm telling you TO DO IT!" - He says yelling some words making me get a shock each time
"I...say...I'm...sorry" - I say crying now
"Lucky for you, I had a reunion with Fury not so long ago and Parker was there, I'm guessing that he already has EDITH with him and is your mission to find that out and inform me about it" - he explains - "Look, Zig" - he said kneeling next to me on the floor - "we are in the middle of doing something great here and it's working, so in case your stupid brain can't process this, I'm gonna repeat myself, you are gonna find out if Parker has EDITH, which are for what Janice told us, a pair of glasses, once you see them all you need to do is send a simple text and tell me "he has them", I take it from there as to make a plan for him to give them to me voluntarily because God forbid if I ask you to do something to screw it up again" - explained Beck
"Ok...I'll do" - I say looking down
"Good, go back in there" - he said helping me up and I walk to the exit of the building - "oh and Zig" - said Beck making me stop and turn to see him - "another mistake like today and I will not need you at all to keep the plan on going" - he said
I just nod and get out of the building walking away from the house until I get into the hotel, this time not caring about being careful since I'm inside and I can make an excuse for me being awake.
"Hey kid, what are you doing?" - Asked the old man on the reception that was sleeping when I got out - "Your teacher told me nobody leave the hotel without him" - he said
"I just couldn't sleep" - I excuse myself
"Go to your room" - he ordered - "I better not see you around this hour again you punk" - he added before reposition himself to go back to sleep
I make my way up to the room and lay on the bed turning to look at the window...not feeling sleepy anymore and trying to calm my feelings about this whole thing, that is becoming more real each time and I don't want it to be.
Next day our teacher informed us that we god an upgrade for our trip and we are not going to Paris anymore, instead we are taking the bus to go to Prague, were Beck wants our next strike to happened, maybe he convinced Nick Fury to do this so Peter could go, the strike was gonna be hard for me giving that to make the "fire elemental" I'm actually gonna have to combine my earth and fire control to make a lava monster.
"Come on, we are sitting together" - said MJ snapping me out my thoughts
I thought that she was gonna sit with Peter because they had like a thing going on, but I guess not, she sits on the window and I sit on the hall, I was hoping to get the window so I can just stare outside and try to relax, because the state of the plan now has me every kind of nervous at the moment.
"Hey" - called out MJ and I turn to her - "what would you do if someone gives you jewelry?" - asked MJ
"What why?" - I asked confused
"Because...they want to give you a gift" - she said
"Like a birthday or Christmas?" - I ask confused - "but I don't have anything like around the corner" - I say
"Have anyone give you a gift outside of those dates?" - asked MJ
"I mean...no..." - I said being honest, I hardly ever get a gift on birthday or Christmas from Beck or someone of the team anyway, let alone a gift out of those dates
"That's weird...but how would you feel anyway?" - She asked
"Confused...but I guess...happy? Because a gift is a way to show affection and that you care about someone...I think" - I said a little confuse but I mean giving that I hardly get any kind of gift I would be happy with anything actually
"Ummm...nice response" - said MJ going back to her drawing
"Why are you asking me that?" - I asked confused
"Just wanted an opinion" - said MJ while drawing
"Ok" - I said and look around and see Peter wearing a pair of glasses
I realize those glasses most be the EDITH technology he is looking at our direction but then looks away quickly...he has them...maybe I should text Beck...but not right now, I'm gonna do it when we get out of the bus.
The bus stopped to make a short break for some of us to go to the bathroom and stuff, I just sit on a bench that is around and get my phone debating if I should text or not to Beck saying that Peter already have the glasses, I don't want to help Beck to take that from Peter after all I learned from him I think he really cares about Tony Stark and if he makes the mistake of giving the glasses to Beck he is gonna be crushed...but also if I don't tell anything to Beck and he finds out himself...I don't know what he is gonna do to me and that scares me a lot.
I finally decide to text Beck "He already has them", I felt sick after I hit send and even more when he text me "good job" because I didn't feel like I was doing a "good job" this is bad...really bad and I just wish I could tell Peter somehow about all of this...maybe I can, maybe I can do like an encrypted message or something like that.
We are back inside the bus and I resume my sit next to MJ as bus starts to go, I keep myself breathing to calm down as I think of something I can do to tell Peter about Beck, but then the bus yanks around and everybody gets scared, I get a shock from my bracelets and hold myself trying not to touch MJ as the electricity goes through my body.
I turn to see what is happening and I see Peter standing on the front, he calls out about some "baby goats", MJ just focus on her drawing as everybody looks out the window, I turn around to see as well but then turn to see Peter going out the roof of the bus and then coming back quickly, I knew whatever happened he had something to do with it, I just wonder what was it, but I look away quickly so he doesn't realize that I saw him as he apologize because there wasn't any "baby goats".
"Hey, MJ can I borrow Zig for a while?" - asked Brad
"I'm not gonna stand up" - said MJ annoyed
"It's fine, I go with him" - I say standing up from my seat and Brad helps me grabbing my hand and leads me to sit next to him
"So...I want to show you a picture, it's something about Peter, I know you may think high of him but you need to see this" - explained Brad as he goes through his phone trying to find the picture but then he starts to go around the pictures more anxious
"Something wrong?" - I ask confused
"I...I thought I had it on here...this is weird" - said Brad
I look around catching Peter looking back at Brad and me before turning back around quickly, maybe he did something to the picture Brad was gonna show me, I turn to Brad and he is so confuse going through his phone that doesn't even say another word, so I stand up and go towards Peter to sit next to him.
"Hi" - I said
"Oh...hey" - said Peter sounding nervous
"Do you mind if I sit here? I can go back to MJ or Brad if you mind" - I said
"No, no...please...stay" - he said with a smirk
"Thanks, nice glasses by the way" - I say with a half-smile trying to blend in even I don't feel it - "are you ok? You seem a little stressed" - I ask
"Thanks and no...I'm fine, what about you? I mean you were sitting with Brad, did he upset you...or show you something upsetting" - he asked and then I knew it was him who did something to Brad's phone.
"I'm fine...is ok if I stay here until we arrive to Prague?" - I ask
"Yeah...yeah sure" - said Peter and slowly I feel that he grabbed my hand.
Then I felt a little calmer, maybe I can figure out a way to tell him what's going on with Beck, I don't care if he hates me after that, but at least it would be the right thing and everything would be alright, but I had to make the choice quick.
A/N: I know some of you sided with Brad and I thought it was cute...but yeah I kept him as a douche that wanted to throw dirt at Peter to get the...boy in this case lol will he remain and asshole or will get better? You guys might need to keep reading to know that, even though we are getting close to the moment when shit hit the fan on the movie, so you guys better be ready for that one is gonna be a big thing for Zig too.
