Here's Chapter 2, thanks to latinoheat151 for the review I hope everyone enjoys the next chapter!
That night, back at the Parker household, the team was relaxing after today's exciting events.
Danny took the time to meditate in this rare moment of peace and quiet, and Sam was with him. Sam decided he should learn how to be all "zen" like his friend in order to better control himself under stressful situations. It was not going well.
"Have you fallen asleep? You know a mind that is willing, but not able, is better than one that is able, but not willing." Danny advised his companion, who certainly looked like he was dozing off.
Luke was doing his homework at the kitchen table, steadily working through math problem after math problem. He considered asking Peter to give him a little help to move through it faster, but figured it'd be better to try on his own. Peter was working also, only he was in the basement working on a special project that he was waiting to share with everyone else. Luke hadn't seen him for hours after he went down there.
There was Ava, she was in her room. Ava was feeling so confused as of late and she only knew one person who could help her right now.
"Seriously MJ I need your advice here, this is serious." The Latina spoke into her phone.
"So you say Peter might be going away for a while, and you say its for a good reason and its good for him, but you don't want him too?" The redhead replied over the line.
"Duh, but I don't know how to tell him and he's my friend and I want him to stay with m...us."
"Was that a little slip of the tongue there?"
"NO it wasn't. I think it'll be hard without him for everyone."
"Uh-huh, listen, you got a bad case of the love bug girl."
"Yeah, I totally don't."
"I think you do."
"Don't."
"I've seen the way you look at him, he makes you smile. A lot. I know because that's how he looks at you Ava. Remember Pete's still a guy, so that makes him just as dense as any other guy out there."
Ava was shocked at this, had Peter really been doing that? How come she hadn't noticed? After the whole Kraven incident, the two of them became closer than any of the others, but she never thought he had any feeling for her romantically.
"Ava? You still there?" MJ wondered, the lack of a voice on the other end raised some suspicion.
"Yeah, MJ, I'm here." Ava spoke, clearing her throat.
"So are you gonna tell him?"
"Tell him what? Why shouldn't I just wait for him to ask me out?"
"You already know the answer to that."
"I guess, he's pretty oblivious isn't he."
"You've just summed up Peter Parker in one word."
Ava laughed a little at that comment. She would describe him as selfless, heroic, brave, rash, and idiot, but charming, handsome, and despite what she'd ever tell anyone, funny.
"Thanks MJ, I really needed this." Ava thanked her friend.
"You got it, now go get him."
Ava hang up her phone, and took a deep breath. She had never done anything like this before. Everything she'd ever prepared for was nothing compared to this. The first step was always the hardest, so she went downstairs.
"Hey where's Peter?" Ava asked the rest of the team.
"In his lab." Luke answered, not even looking up from his paper.
Peter was hanging upside down from the ceiling, testing out new sleaker web shooters. He heard footsteps and dropped down to the floor and slid everything hero-related into a box. The worst thing that could happen was his aunt May comes down and sees all his Spider-man gear.
It was Ava.
"Whew, I thought it was my aunt. Didn't want her to see all the hero stuff." Peter wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead.
"No idiot, your aunt's still out." Ava told him.
"Right, so what's going on?" Peter wondered if this had anything to do with how she was acting before.
Ava paused for a second, took a deep breath, and said; "I need to tell you something."
