"How's Decathlon coming along?" Harriet was the one to ask during lunch.

"Oh, you know, a lot of practicing for the tests, essays, and public speaking," Ned said with a grin. Despite complaining about some parts of the club, he'd been excited for each meeting he, Hermione, and Peter went to.

"Sounds like you found your gig, Hermione," Ron said in the middle of his munching.

Hermione grinned from ear to ear, "I know. I'm having so much fun there."

Harriet glanced at her side when she didn't hear Peter responding. He didn't look sad, just indifferent, or thinking about something that's been bugging him. "You okay, Peter?" She decided to ask.

"Huh? Yeah. Why?"

"You look out of it today."

"Something's just on my mind." Peter was planning how to intercept LP.

"What's it about? Maybe I could help ease whatever's troubling you."

Peter hesitated and then his lips cracked a smile. "You're the one on my mind." Harriet tried not to smile, but she couldn't help it. Harriet rewarded Peter for his cute but cheesy answer by giving him a peck on his lips.

Both Ron and Ned pretended to gag, "ugh, get a room, you two."

Harriet, as Lady Phoenix, was having an off day of crime fighting. Every time Harriet was about to send a spell to knock out the criminal, strings of web would shoot out in the field of her vision and secure the criminal to the wall.

Harriet wasn't angry. Okay, she was a little mad. She was confused. After all, this time, it wasn't New York. Spiderman had always kept close to New York, while Harriet was able to apparate to places the news would report after getting a nice view of the attack-location.

By the fifth crime fighting, Harriet was certain Spiderman was following her. At the sixth location, while for a split second, Spiderman was busy catching the criminal by using his web-shooters, Harriet apparated behind him. He was located on top of a short building, at the edge.

He made to stand, but he stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Peter wondered why his spider senses didn't warn him about it, but realized it wasn't because he wasn't in any danger.

"Hey, LP," he greeted Harriet in a casual manner. He was smiling underneath that mask of his.

Harriet responded, "mind telling me why you're stalking me?"

As Peter had read in her profile, Harriet was indeed sassy when provoked. Peter had never met the sassy side of Harriet since he'd never once provoked her. He kind of liked it.

"Oh, you know, I just wanted to see where this would lead us. I'm also sort of curious what you look like underneath that hood," Peter said as he pinched the top of her hood to lift it up but was forced to stop when Harriet pulled back, at the same time, awed when flames began to come off as sparks from the hood. "… Is this real fire?"

"Yes. And for your information, I have a boyfriend so back off and stay away from me."

Peter smiled beneath his mask at what Harriet told him. Before she could leave, Peter made to grab her from behind but he wasn't able to, in fact, just as his spider senses were starting to tingle, Harriet gripped his reached out arm, twisting it and forcing him to surrender.

"Wait, wait, Harriet, it's me…!"

Harriet narrowed her eyes. "How did…?" Peter ripped away his mask with his free hand. Harriet's eyes widened with disbelief. "Peter…? You're Spiderman…?!"

"Yeah," Peter chuckled lightly.

"How did you find out I was, um…"

"Lady Phoenix?"

Harriet cringed at the name, "yeah, that." She took her hood down.

"An Agent from SHIELD came to recruit me to Avengers."

Harriet frowned. "And they told you? They haven't told me!"

"Actually, your profile was the last paper in the file they gave me. If you'd have looked through each paper in the file, you could've known I was Spiderman," Peter smirked.

"I had a rough afternoon the day before. I just wanted to go home and relax so I didn't bother reading anything else but my profile." Harriet slyly slipped her hands onto Peter's chest, biting her bottom lip, "I really like your suit, Spiderman."

"Oh, so it's not Spider-boy anymore?"

"Well, you did look like a boy pretending to be a hero in just some hoodie and spandex."

Peter reached into a small compartment-pocket in his suit with a wry smirk. He showed her a smaller version of the picture of Harriet when she was just starting out her hero career. "Speak for yourself."

"Oh my god, Peter. Where did you get this?"

"I asked if I could get a smaller one printed. I'm keeping this in my wallet."

"How's it possible that someone can look this hideous without even showing her face?"

"It's because you're not. You're beautiful."

Side Story: Peter's questions

"Does anyone else know you're actually LP?"

"Hermione and Ron, my parents, you." Upon Peter's shocked expression, she explained, "Hermione and Ron are my childhood friends, and they have the MM-gene, so I told them."

"So... are these real flames?"

"Sort of. This is made from dragon skin. It's pretty old so I don't know how long this suit will last, or if it's even strong enough to withstand damage; no one's landed a punch on me yet," Harriet proudly boasted.

"Okay, last question. What can you do, besides appearing out of thin air and knocking someone out cold with a light beam?"

"I can make bats fly out of someone's nose."

"... Awesome…"

A/N:

This chapter is more of a filler, isn't it. I'm not really good at writing so... forgive me.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed! I love reading every single one of them. Here are my answer to a few:

Aproudfangirl485: Lol, at the end of the movie, my face was like: ㅇㅁㅇ;;; and then I continued on with my daily life. It sucks that we have to wait such a long time for movies to come out nowadays - like, they hype us up so much with the trailer and all the advertising, and if it turns out to be a total flop (like Justice League) it's like you wasted all of your money and time and resources all at once.

RashaSh: Lol, I checked on this website what kind of audience could be able to read this fic, and it said a grade 3 kid could read it, so yeah it's a really light read. I also would like to finish this until the end, but I think it'll go on and on until MCU decides it's over haha.

I was gonna respond by PMing but I feel like that would be annoying for me and the reviewer. If there are questions you'd like answered, don't be afraid to ask them. I also value your feedbacks and comments.

Also, this chapter isn't heavily edited so I apologize for any mistakes... I've only slept for a few hours.
