OKAY GUYS, I'M TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THIS AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN BECAUSE I WANT TO FINISH THIS, BUT ANYWAY, LESS OF MY SCHEDULE, MORE PETER AND MJ! (ALSO THESE ARE NOT MY CHARACTERS.)
CHAPTER 2: It's Great to be Spiderman
PETER P.O.V.
So MJ and I swung around the city and of course I swung her home because she eventually wanted me to just take her, and that really made me feel like the Spiderman I should be.
But now, it's time for me to scope out my first day of senior year. So today was the last day of summer and May wanted to take me out or whatever, but I promised her I'll do something with her after I get out of school because I wanted to spend my last day with MJ.
I come in through the window and see that she's on the couch talking on the phone. While she's doing that, I see that my room is perfectly clean and well organized. This is certainly May's cleaning because I know I didn't clean my room before I left the house.
I take my Spiderman suit off by pressing the button and I take it off from under my feet. I throw it on to my dresser and get some clothes so I can take a shower. May is walking into the room, and she's probably going to get mad because I don't have a shirt on.
"Hey Peter. How was your date with the Michelle Jones?" She smiles and rubs my arms. I find it weird that she calls her Michelle, but I mean I know who she's talking about so I go with it.
"It was really fun. We just did the typical swing around the city. I was holding her and I showed her around." Of course I wasn't going to tell her I taught MJ how to swing. She would freak out on me like she would anytime I revealed anything else about my Spiderman identity. At the time, it felt like a good idea and it just felt so right to be swinging up there with her. I would take all the blame if she were to find out.
"Oh. Sounds pretty chill. Well, I mean for you guys swinging everywhere is pretty chill. So, have you picked out your outfit for the first day of school?" Uhhhhh, nope.
"Um, I actually haven't gotten any of that sorted out yet, but I was planning on taking a shower before I got ready."
"Well, make sure you do it tonight. I don't understand people who can do that type of stuff in the morning, that's just too much to think about when your brain just woke up and I would rather think about what I want for breakfast." Oh gosh, Topics like this and May could go on forever, but I love her so it's worth listening to.
"Yeah, I don't really understand that either." I mean, I'm not on a particular side, it's just that she likes it when I agree with her so I just go with it.
"While you're in the shower I'll make sure I answer the door for Ned. We love boy sleepovers."
"Yeah we do!" May closes the door and I finally feel comfortable with having my shirt off in my room. I head to the shower and I kinda have to go fast because Ned is coming over for a sleepover. Do we really plan on sleeping? We'll have to see where Star Wars leads us to be sure.
I make sure I take my phone into the shower so I can get updates on when Ned is on his way and all of that, and I also check to see if MJ is planning on calling me or if she's going to tell me she's going to bed and text me goodnight because we always text each other goodnight before going to bed.
I can hear May and the TV bursting through the walls. My phone starts going off with the only two people who actually care about my life. Ned sends me that he'll be here but his mom is double checking to make sure he has everything for school (typical) and MJ sent me a video of two puppies doing just about everything together. I sent awwww with the puppy emoji.
I mean, they're cute, but not as cute as her…
I turn the water off and I put my fresh clothes on, a shirt is included. I walk into my room and I stop as I am shocked. A bag is placed on my bed and I didn't even realize it was there before. I walk over to it and it has a little message on it. It reads. "You were always meant to do this kid, and I believe in you. Of course, I'm still your hero." I laugh as his ego will always be left with us, along with the amazing man he was.
I mean he already gave me E.D.I.T.H. and that went entirely well (complete sarcasm.) At least I fixed all of that and I don't even want to talk about Mysterio right now so we're going to leave that part about the trip at that. I open up the bag and a whole bunch of equipment and notes are piled on top of my bed.
I go through it and I see a mic, a whole manual, and a little chip that confuses me the most. I pick up the note and it reads."The chip is a tracker. No more baby monitors kid, you're in for it now." Thank God I don't have to have a baby monitor anymore.
I click the button and I basically see the whole world. The UK, China, United States, all of those places. Mr. Stark is the coolest guy on Earth. Of course, Pepper would tell me not to tell him that because his ego would go through the roof, but it's 1000% true.
I make it go away and I look through the rest of the things. Another note, and I read it. "After your life clears up from school, go to Avengers Tower. There's more for you to look at there." I'm really confused about this and I can feel the suspense shaking inside of my body. What else is he trying to give me? I look ahead and I see the pictures of us.
Every time I look at the pictures I get a little teary eyed. This time is no different. I hear vicious knocking on the door, and that's for sure Ned. I wipe my eyes quickly and get up to go to the door with May. May opens the door and smiles.
"Hey Ned!" She says and hugs him. "Hey Ms. Parker."
"Hey bud." I go up to him and we start doing our handshake. "Oh gosh, I'll let you go on from here. I gotta make some more phone calls." She walks away as we finish our handshake.
"Star Wars and chill?" Ned asked, reading my mind like he has powers himself.
"Let's do it." We walk into my room and I still have all of Tony's stuff sprawled on to the top bunk.
"Well, this is new. What's all of that stuff?" Ned asked. "Oh, Tony sent me some more stuff, like he hasn't given me enough already."
"Oh, so are you Iron Man now or what?" Ned asked. I mean, I basically figured out that I was going to continue with my own hero type, but Tony wanting me to go to the Avengers Tower, it kinda sounds like I will be.
"Well, the goal was to go and just be the best Spiderman, I'll never be able to replace Mr. Stark, nobody can, but he's telling me to go to the tower in one of these notes but I have no idea what it is."
"Oh, well it sounds like your superhero life is pretty stacked."
"Yeah, like it always will be. Okay man, get comfortable, a lot of stuff is going down in this web episode." I set everything up so I can be as comfortable as I can be as Ned sits down on one of the bean bags. I turn the TV on and the new episode of Star Wars is already posted on to the page.
"Click it click it click it!" Ned says eagerly. "Wait, I didn't even ask, how was your date with MJ?" He smiles just like May did when she asked.
"Dude, it was awesome! I took one of the other web shooters and I taught MJ how to swing. Hey, don't tell May though because she would flip out!"
"Peter, you know you can't keep telling me to keep secrets! I can't hold any of those secrets in! But besides the point, that is bad asssss."
"Right, and she was scared about it at first, but then she got the hang of it first try and she looked awesome doing it, and I want to pick her up right now and bring her here but I know I can't." At least Ned would listen to everything I have to say about MJ because I know nobody else would.
"Why not? You could swing to her house and bring her back in like 10 seconds."
"Ned, I'm not going to do that. We're going to get busted and I don't want MJ to get in trouble."
"You have a good point, but the three of us should do something together overnight. I feel like that would be really fun."
"True. Speaking of that, are you and Betty going to work everything out? I know you guys got together and broke up all of a sudden, but I still think it's good." I honestly didn't have any other word to describe their relationship. I should've tried harder.
"Dude, I don't even know. I mean, I talk to her through the phone but nothing about a relationship."
"I mean, who knows what senior year could hold."
"Yeah, you're right. Now we can start the episode." As I hit play and the recap of the previous episode is playing, my phone rings and it's from MJ. It says…
MJ- Hey, I'm going to bed. Don't stay up watching too many Star Wars episodes. Goodnight Peter."
Peter- I promise I won't. Goodnight MJ. Can't wait to see you tomorrow. (Red heart emoji.)
MJ- Same here. (Red heart emoji.)
I'm certainly not going to bed right now and it's 10:30 pm. This is a good way to end the summer.
