Identity

Two

Today is Thursday, and it's been a total of 3 weeks since the vulture incident, and 2 weeks since my first day back. Tonight is going to be my first time going out again. Lately crime has been on a rise so it's best if I return and squish whatever hope criminals have about my disappearance. I got dressed quickly, making sure everything was secure. "Please be safe out there Peter."

"I will try my best Aunt May. I love you."

"I love you too."

And with that, I swung out into the night, and immediately heard a scream. I swung over to where I heard the scream from, my body filled with adrenaline. It's been a while and it feels like the first time all over again. I landed above an alley way and decided that since it's my first night back, I'll be merciless. I dropped onto the man who was backing a woman into the wall. He was immediately disoriented, and tried to throw me off, but I pressure pointed him. "Spiderman? Where have you been?"

I looked up and saw a middle aged woman. "Recovering. Are you ok?"

"Yes, thank you for saving me, should I call the police?"

"Yes of course. Goodbye Miss."

"Goodbye."

I nodded and swung out into the darkness again. Yeah this is about right for a patrol night. Surprisingly, Friday nights were the slowest, had less crime. So I sat down and pulled out my phone, making sure to still stay tuned in with my surroundings.

I opened Aunt May's text first, concerned.

Aunt May☺️

Check in with me when you can, please

Sorry for not getting to you faster
I'm ok

MJ😳

Hey loser, you seem kinda withdrawn
Lately, are you ok?

Yes I'm feeling okay Mj, thanks for
Caring , I appreciate it a lot

I  smiled wide, a bit giddy. Just thinking about MJ made my heart race. And god, when she smiles I swear that everything I've done in my life is for her. I put my phone up, and just laid down on the roof I was on. Staring at the stars, I smiled slightly. We are all so infinitesimal, it's truly invigorating to me. Sighing, I stood up and swung over to the next building, so I can continue patrol.

You know, maybe I should ask MJ out... No that's a bad idea. I haven't moved on from Liz, it'd be unfair to do that to MJ. But maybe in the future...

A loud yell interrupted my thoughts, and now I'm off again.

My eyebrows scrunched in pain felt from sitting down in the schools cheap plastic chair. Speaking of, why are the backs like cracked off half the time I don't get it. Midtown is a well funded school, and receives big donations all the time. It's ridiculous. Like what do they even put the money toward? Nothing has changed at all in the classrooms.I bet you that the schools principal secretly uses the school as a drug cover. I'm joking, but that would be pretty insane.

Last night a lucky criminal took one of my moments of hesitation to shoot me in my side, and I ended having Dr.Cho patch it up for me. It's healed to a small minimal gash but it still hurts like hell. So today I really have to take it easy.

I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind me and turned around to see Flash. Lately I've been helping him with his classes in and out of school. His parents threatened to cut off his allowance if he didn't maintain A's. Seeing as I've known Flash practically all my life, and we can actually be civil with each other, I started tutoring him about a week ago.

"Hey man, sine is opposite over hypotenuse right?"

"Yeah that's it."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

So maybe we are kind of friends now. Flash doesn't bother anyone anymore and I think he finally matured. We get along surprisingly well, and sometimes Flash will even sit at lunch with me in Ned. It's refreshing.

I scribbled down all the answers, working the math out easily in my mind. The slight discomfort in my side only worsened my mood, but I know today will end out ok anyways.

It's my fault really. I was careless last night, I wasn't near as cautious as I should have been. I was to caught up in the thrill of being back out there that I was blinded. So I'm gonna take a break today and maybe tomorrow to let myself heal. I know that even the best hero's can break if they push themselves too hard.

Besides, I have my internship and I think Dr.Cho mentioned she might be letting me work with the lab equipment. Yeah I'll stay in late tonight then, aunt May is working late too.

The school bell rang loudly and I quickly packed up my bag, and began dragging my body to my next class.

Scanning my card and feeling better already, I made my way to Dr.Cho's office because she wanted to give me a brief explanation of what my job title is, what I'm expected to do everyday, and the medical power structure.

I knocked and was told to enter, so I sat down in front of her desk.

"Hey, so let's get to business and get to pleasantries after." She passed me a Manila folder and I opened it. The first page was my official work contract, which I signed without much thought because Dr.Cho has never been a malicious person. The second page was information about the company, and the third was all the S.I. Rules and regulations.

"So officially, you are known as Assistant Hospital Administrator. You have more permissions then other people because you are unofficially my apprentice. On a normal day of work, I want you to first go around and if anyone on staff needs help. Or at least make it know that your always present to help them. If there isn't anyone that needs help, I want you to be brainstorming projects that can improve our medical facilities and maybe find out if there are problems in drugs that you'll have the ability to fix. Before you start on a project you need to write up your thesis on the subject. You need a detailed description etc. now for our power structure... so our people here are the best of the best, Stark's elite team. We are a tight knit group of people in this facility. That said, it might take a bit for them to warm up to you as you may already know. While you have more access then my department head, I want you to still report to him, but me, him, and the big bosses are the only people you have to report to. You are still learning, so don't take it to heart kid."

"Of course Dr.Cho, I understand the importance of seniority and experience here."

"Thank you. Also, just so you are aware, that contract includes a NDA. I know you wouldn't cross any lines but I just have to be safe. It's to protect the information about the Avengers medical histories, and any other important official identities you may come across. Also, I may occasionally send you on trips to some of the other Stark medical facilities, so be prepared to have tact in the way you speak and behave around subordinates please."

"Yes ma'am, thank you for this amazing opportunity to prove myself. I won't disappoint you."

"I know you won't, now get going I don't wanna make you too late."
