"Danny!" Someone yelled at the young speedster's unconscious body.
His eyes shot open, and he saw Wanda standing over his bed.
"Wake up, we gotta leave in 10," Wanda exclaimed.
Danny rubbed his eyes, and sped out of the bedroom and into the bathroom, grabbing his clothes on the way out. He took a quick shower and brushed his teeth before running out of his bathroom, through his room on the first floor and into the living room on the ground floor.
"What'd I miss," Danny said, tossing his bag on the couch and walking towards the fridge
"Your Alarm apparently," Shuri commented
"No it rang, he just slept through it," Wanda replied.
"It did feel like I was asleep for a long time, I'm not used to waking up on a schedule anymore," Danny said, taking a Capri-sun from the fridge, and poking the straw through.
"We should probably get going," Shuri said, standing up from her seat.
"One more thing," Monica said Giving Danny an envelope,
"What's this?" Danny said
"Your birth certificate, give it to the administration" Monica replied
"I don't have a birth certificate," Danny said in confusion.
"I know, I had to call in a lot of favours to get this," Monica replied, and Danny put the envelope in his bag
"Now shoo, you don't wanna be late," Monica said, signalling for them to leave.
The Newyorkers made their way to the storage room and descended into the HQ.
On the vehicle loading pad, they noticed a six-seat Hummer and assumed that this was the self-driving car that Monica mentioned.
They looked through the windows of the car and saw that there was no steering wheel, pedal or gear stick in the driver's area.
"I guess there's no point in playing rock paper scissors," Shuri said.
"Still calling the driver's seat," Wanda affirmed, opening the driver's door.
"I'll take the back seat this time," Shuri said. Danny followed her into the 2 middle seats, leaving Peter to sit in the passenger seat.
The engine started, and the golden sphere appeared again, this time on the car's centre screen.
"Morning team, "A.V.A. said through the speakers.
"Morning," They all replied in unison.
"Are you ready to return to school?" A.V.A asked.
"No!" Peter, Shuri and Wanda replied, whilst Danny replied "Yes!"
An alarm blared in the garage signalling that the vehicle was ready for launch. The stoppers retracted, and the car sped through the tunnel, and out of the empty garage.
While A.V.A drove, Danny took out a sketchbook and pencil from his bag and started a new sketch.
"I didn't know you drew," Shuri said, noticing Danny's Sketchbook
"Yeah, Monica suggested it to help me clear my mind, but I haven't been able to since the mission," Danny explained
"Can I take a look?" Shuri asked
"Sure," Danny said, passing her the book.
She flipped through the book backwards, seeing countless landscapes and even portraits of Her Peter and Wanda Until she reached the first page. On the page were three portraits next to each other, two boys and a girl with an x drawn over her face. The last one looked like Danny, but Shuri didn't recognise the other two.
"Who are they?" Shuri asked
"Ohh, they're just people at Sword," Danny said, a little nervous.
Shuri seemed sceptical of his answer but shrugged it off and handed him his book.
"We have arrived," A.V.A. said, and the car stopped on a corner street.
They exited the car and A.V.A drove off
"Nervous?" Peter asked Danny as they made their way towards the school.
"Yeah, a little," Danny responded
"Don't worry, I'm sure you're gonna love it here," Peter said, as they arrived at the gates, meeting Ned and MJ.
"Hey guys", Wanda said.
"Hey," they responded, and Peter kissed MJ.
"How long were you guys waiting," Shuri asked, as the group started making their way in.
"Not long," Ned replied, and they walked up the stairs, and into the building.
"Ohh shoot, I gotta drop off my certificate," Danny said
"I'll show you the way," Wanda said. "You guys can go ahead," She added
Wanda led Danny to the reception. Right outside the door, Danny saw a girl sitting on a chair, reading Percy Jackson and the Titans Curse. She was wearing lilac sk8-hi vans, black ripped jeans and purple flannel. She also had a skateboard on the floor beside her and a pink hair band in her hair. Danny looked at her as if he recognized her, but he also felt something different. A warm feeling he had never felt before, and his cheeks turned a soft shade of red.
"Concentrate lover boy," Wanda said, noticing Danny staring at the girl
Danny realised the door to the administration office was open, and a woman was sitting at a desk on the left.
"Right," he said, knocking on the door and walking in, following him.
"Hi, how can I help you?" The Receptionist said, looking up from her computer.
"Hi, my, umm," Danny started not sure how to address Monica
"His guardian told him to give you this," Wanda interrupted.
"Yeah, right?" Danny said, handing the receptionist the envelope and giving it.
"Daniel Ramson right?" The receptionist asked
"Uhh yeah," Danny answered confusedly, unsure if the receptionist was referring to him.
"Okay, here's our schedule, and your locker code," She said, handing him two slips of paper.
"Thank you," Danny said, taking them from her.
"Have a good day," The receptionist said to the two kids.
"You too," they both said and left the room.
Wanda already knew that Danny was in the same class as Shuri and Wanda, so she showed him the way.
"Do you know why Monica chose Ramson as my last name?" Danny asked, Just as they reached the classroom.
"I'll explain later, you can't be late for your first class," She replied
"Wait, you're not coming," Danny questioned.
"No, I'm a senior, so I've got different classes," Wanda explained.
"Ok, well see you later," Danny said
"See ya, '' Wanda replied, walking around a corner.
Danny took a deep breath and opened the door. He walked into the physics classroom, didn't see a teacher but saw around 20 children sitting at 2-person tables, all messing around. He saw Peter and Ned sitting behind Shuri and MJ around the middle of the row, pressed against a wall with windows that showed the hallway, and sat at the table behind them, which happened to be the only empty table left in the classroom.
"Did you give your certificate?" Ned asked.
"Yeah," Danny respond and asked, "Where's the teacher,"
"She's usually a little late," Peter said, just as a woman in a pink shirt and brown blazer walked into the noisy classroom.
"Settle down," She said, placing her handbag on her chair, and putting the class in order.
"If you haven't noticed already, we have a new student with us," She said, and the entire class turned their attention towards Danny.
"I'd ask you to introduce yourself, but we've already lost enough time," She added.
"I can do it later," Danny said nervously, and the entire class slowly turned their heads back to the board, with a few people murmuring about him.
"Right," The teacher said and turned to the board to give her lecture.
Danny tried to listen, but out of the corner of his right eye, he saw movement. He turned his head, and out of the window was a girl with a teacher. The same girl from the administration office, and he looked at her with the same sense of familiarity he had before. This time, however, she looked back at him, and tilted her head, with the same look of recognition. She turned her head back toward the teacher and disappeared from Danny's vision.
Danny directed his attention back to the board, but the teacher's lecture was drowned out by a question repeating in his head.
"Where have I seen her before,".
