Flash talks to his phone as everyone else stays relatively quiet. So he's all anyone can hear.

Morgan rests her head on the window beside me. She's out cold. I take this opportunity to research Prague so hopefully, me and Morgan can get something out of this.

Edith's case comes into my view. I pick it up and open it. When did Tony even make these?

Putting them on is extremely underwhelming. Looking around I see nothing different.

Flipping over the paper inside, I read It out loud, "For the next Tony Stark, I trust you. Say Edith." My vision shifts to a blue tone. Things pop up and a voice speaks, I assume this is Edith.

"Stand by for retinal and biometric scan. Retinal and biometric scan accepted." My face pops up.

"Hello?"
"Hello, Peter. I am Edith. Tony Stark's augmented-reality security and defense system." She responds. That doesn't spell Edith, what the real acronym.
"So, he made you for me?"
"No, but you have access to all of Tony's protocols."
"Cool."
"Would you like to see what I can do?"
"Uh, sure."
"E.D.I.T.H. stands for, 'Even dead, I'm the hero.' Tony loved his acronyms."
"Yeah, he did."
"I have access to the entire Stark Global Security Network. Including multiple defense satellites, as well as back doors to all major telecommunication networks."

Edith demonstrates this by showing me several people's phones. "Woah."

A little while goes by when we stop to get gas. I wake up Morgan so she can do what she needs to do. Dimitri gets up and yells, "Petrol and toilets! Ten minutes!"

I let Morgan go ahead of me. She walks off the bus, but before walking away she turns to Dimitri. "Keep me out of this." She looks at him sterlingly, once he nods, she leaves.

Before I can walk away, he stops me, "What?" He points towards a door where some lady watches us.

Great, can't wait for whatever this is. I enter the room and she stands beside a foosball table. "Hello."

"Close the door." I do, and I feel so incredibly awkward. "Um... I'm Peter Parker." I raise my hand and approached her.

"Take off your clothes."
"Excuse me?"
"You told Fury Spider-Man cannot be seen in Europe. So I made you and your girlfriend these. However, she wants no part in this." She pulls It out of her bag and hands it to me.

"Oh, uh, thank you. I'm sure it does fine. I don't need to try-"
"Take off your clothes." This has to be sexual harassment. "Okay." I put the suit down and take off my bag. "Sure."

"It's a little embarrassing."
"Now! Hurry up." Why is she so demanding?
"This is weird."

Then the worst thing in the entire world happens. Brad opens the door. As I realize this woman was about to take out I gun, I risk it all.

"No, no, no. Don't"
Brad just stares, clearly in shock. "Woah. Sorry, I thought this was the bathroom." If he tells anyone what he thinks is happening, I'm never going to be seen the same way.

"This is not what it looks like!"
He puts his phone up and takes a picture. 'Goddamit! No!'

"What are you doing?" I try to run after him, but due to the pants around my ankles, that proves to be difficult. "I'll leave you alone." He walks away and the lady pulls out her gun.

"Oh my God. Don't shoot anybody." Once my pants are almost all the way up, I run after Brad.

"Brad? It's not what it looks like, buddy!" Thankfully he hasn't gone too far. "Hey, man, look, that's-"

"Look Peter, I'm not here to judge your life choices, dude. If you want to hook up with some random European chick, on our school trip, that's on you." I try to explain, but I have no clue what to say that was.

"I can't pretend I didn't see what I saw. Especially when you're with Morgan. And I won't lie, I like her, and with you out of the picture, I can slip in."

If he shows Morgan, it's not a big deal, she and Ned are the only ones I can properly explain this to. However, if he shows anyone else, I'm screwed.

"Wait a minute. Hey, hey, you can't show anyone that photo dude, come on." He isn't going to budge, is he?

"I'm sorry man, I have to. She deserves the truth." As he walks away Dell yells that it's time to go.

I was the victim here and there's no way I'll be able to fix this.

Except...
