I don't know if you guys have ever heard of Riri Williams, but you guys should look her up she's great and just as if not smarter than Tony Stark. In this story, I had to move M.I.T to Manhattan so now it stands for Manhattan Institute of Technology.
May 16, 2014 (Manhattan, New York)
Peter Parker a.k.a Spider-Man was making his way downtown and into his favorite coffee shop The Bean when he runs into a tiny figure, 'no girl' his brain corrects. He runs into a breathtakingly beautiful girl that can't be taller than 5'2" ft tall with mocha colored skin, dark black curly hair, and chocolate orbs that are staring right at him, right now, 'you should probably stop staring and say something'.
"Hi, I'm Peter Parker. I'm so sorry, I should have watched where I was going." He says as he sticks out a hand and helps her up. She quirks a tiny smile and picks up the textbooks and notebooks that had fallen when he knocked her down. She turns towards him sticks her hand out and shyly says, "Riri, Riri Williams."
Peter smiles and stares and stares, he finally realizes the hands and takes it. He looks at her shirt and notices the M.I.T logo on it and says, "You want to go to M.I.T?"
"I already go there," she says giving a little smile.
"Oh, really?" Peter's eyebrows raise.
"I got accepted when I was 10 and started going there when I was 11." She mumbles and gives him a quick glance. That's when he notices her eyes, they have the brightest spark and light to them. She analyzes his face while waiting for a response and realizes their hands are still touching, she then proceeds to quickly remove her hand and light blush starts to appear on her cheeks. "That's so cool! I love science, why do you go there?" Peter responds coming out of his trance.
"Um, well I'm enrolled in the School of Engineering. I already got a bachelor's degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics; Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; Mechanical Engineering; and Nuclear Science and Engineering. I'm starting courses for the other programs in that school, I'm aiming for Ph.D.'s and then I might start at the School of Science. Engineering in my main passion, but I'm fascinated with all science." Riri started to ramble and Peter notices the light in her eyes get brighter and thinks it's adorable, too bad she cuts herself off when she notices she's rambling. "Um."
"I love all science, too. My main area of expertise is biology and physics, but I dabble in other areas too," Peter supplies. Suddenly the notes of Black Sabbath's Iron Man fills the air and Peter looks down at his phone realizing Tony was calling him and quickly picks it up.
"Hello, Mr. Stark."
"..."
"Yeah, Mr. Stark I'm fine."
"..."
"Yes, Mr. Stark I'll be back with your guys coffee in a few minutes."
"..."
"Bye, Mr. Stark!"
Peter looks back at Riri, "I'd really love to talk science with you sometime." Peter takes a napkin and takes out a pen writing down his number. "Um, call me, if you want to that is." He quickly rushes out and hands her the napkin.
"I have to go, it looks like you have to get coffee, but yeah I'd love to." Riri blushes.
"Great! See you soon!" Peter smiles and the 2 of them go separate ways.
October 16, 2014 (Manhattan, New York)
She never calls, Peter was so sure she would have called. 'Maybe she lost the napkin or maybe she wasn't that into it. Maybe she just thought I was a random creep and thought I would kidnap her.' It was exactly 6 months later and Peter still couldn't stop thinking about her and the way her eye lit up when talking about science and school. Peter had been through a lot through the past couple of months, he defeated the Vulture and the Lizard. He developed a little crush on Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, and Michelle Jones when he met them, but they disappeared quickly when Mary Jane and Gwen got together, and Michelle and Ned got together, besides none of them were like Riri. 'Too bad she never called,' he mentally sighed.
Meanwhile in a Senior Citizen Center Near M.I.T
"Riri dear, can you get me a cup of water?"
"Yeah, hold on one second Marian." Riri goes to the water dispenser and gets a cup.
"Riri, as much as I love getting company, don't you think you should be hanging out with kids your age. The center appreciates the work you do as a volunteer, but you should be with kids your own age. What was that kid's name? Pedro?" Marian asks.
"Peter was his name."
"Yes, Peter. What happened to him?" Marian asks in concern.
"I never called him and now it's too late to call him, it's been 6 months Marian." Riri brushes off the thought.
"I know the last few months have been hard for you Ri, but I think you should take some chances, meet new people, eat more, and get more sleep. Hell even get a new job to meet more people. It's never too late to take chances." Marian watches Riri sigh.
"If I agree to call him will you let everything drop?" Riri watches as Marian give a sad smile, "I just want you to be happy."
"I am happy. But if you really want me to I will call him."
"Yes, I would like you to call him." Marian gives a mischievous smile.
A Few Hours Later in an M.I.T. Dorm
Riri is pacing back and forth around her bedroom and keeps glancing back at the napkin. She looks at the pictures of her family and another picture of her friend, she sighs and finally sits down, picks up her phone and slowly dials the number.
"Hello?"
Riri freezes and after a few moments of trying to choke out words she quickly hangs up. She gathers her breath and dials the number again.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is this Peter Parker?"
