"Here comes the boom! Thunder and Lighting are here to strike you off the stage!"
The crowd cheered as two brawny men stood on a platform as they flexed to the booing crowd.
"That was lame," MJ rolled her.
Nova chuckled, "And I thought Peter makes the worst puns," she joked.
"Hey!" Peter graves as the two girls giggle.
Flush grone, "Did we have to bring them?"
Kong hushed him. "Listen."
"That's right!" said the referee on the mice, "Who here is willing to take on the invincible duo?! Who here has what it takes? If you think you can take them down—we have Six hundred dollars in American cash for you!" He fanned a load of money in the air. "That's right folks, six hundred dollars for any man who could take on Thunder and Lightning!"
With that, the crowd went wild and a few men rushed to the stage to compete with the duo. It was hecketed that a line was formed to be authorized onto the stage.
"I gotta make that money!" Kong said as he started to strip out of his hoodie, "Here Flash," he tossed it onto his body cased hand, "Hold thi for me!" as he rushed to get in line.
"Show 'em how it is done, Kong!" Flash cheered on for his buddy.
At that moment, two guys were already tossed out of the ring and one was pinned down in a lock hold. The two wrestlers were strong and the line was getting short fast.
"He is going to get himself killed," said Harry before looking at Peter, "Why don't you join him?" he said in a joking manner.
Peter scuffed, "As if," he said as another man was thrown off the stage, "I want to keep my spine intact."
Soon Kong was up on the stage.
"Whoa there, youngster," the referee stopped him, "How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"Yeah, sorry kid. twenty-one and up. Insurance purposes."
"No way! This is a rip off!" Kong yelled and cursed at the two wrestlers.
"Get a driver's license first, then we can talk," the referee shoo him off.
Kong flung up his arms into the air and returned to the group.
"That blows!" Kong grumbled as he got his hoodie back from Flash.
"How about we send Carrie over and she will she-hulk their ass," Flash said in a snarky remark.
Nova sank low as she could feel his eyes drifting to her. But Peter stepped in front of her along with Harry.
"Back off Flash," Harry warned him, "She had already apologized to you and you both promised you would behave," he reminded him.
Flash scuffed, "I didn't promise such a thing! Kong did!" he rubbed his cast hand.
"You know what Flash," Peter glared at flash, "How about you hop in the ring? And then when you lose, your dad can sue their family."
Everyone went quiet.
Suddenly, Nova could not handle it anymore and left the group.
"Nova?" MJ called out when she noticed Nova had vanished before the others.
"Damn it," Peter cursed as he went after her. "Nova!" he called.
"Over here…." whispered a voice in the corner.
Peter turned to see no one there but he knew better there was. He went to lean agents on the wall as he watched the fight up ahead.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"No…" Nova mumbled as she leaned her invisible head on Peter's shoulder. "I want to go home…"
Peter sighed, "We will but first, we need to do something."
Nova lifted up her head to look up at him and can see where he was looking. "Peter, no!"
"Nova," he turned to her, "That money would be the cash grab we need to pay some of that debt."
"But how do we do that?" she asked, "Some people will recognize us and we definitely don't look like adults either."
"No," he smirks, "But I have an idea."
