Chapter 4:
Lisa quieted everyone down before they could start yelling. Thankfully.
She seemed pretty upset though.
"I'm sorry Mr. Parker, were they not supposed to know that?"
"What? No it's fine, I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it. And I'm younger than you, so just call me Peter."
"Alright, sorry Peter."
I smiled. "Okay then, let's get back on track. I'm going to explain one of my projects to you."
I thought about talking about my earphones, but then I would explain why I needed them. So I decided on Bucky.
"I worked on designing better flexibility on the White Wolf's arm." I was met with only black stares. Lisa seemed to be the only one who knew what I was talking about.
Poor Bucky hated the use of his assassin name, but that was how the world knew him. So I sighed and started again.
"I worked on the flexibility of the Winter Soldier's arm."
Everyone started yelling again, but Lisa got them to raise their hands.
I couldn't see who it was, but I called on someone in the back.
"Why would his arm need adjustment? I thought it was made by some high tech people."
Oooh a good question. "His arm wasn't designed for normal everyday use. His hand was more fit for holding a gun or knife, not a spoon or game controller. I just had to change the way his fingers moved and the intensity of his grip."
There were mummers whispers of how cool that was.
"I can show you how my design has made amazing changes. Friday, pull up the footage of Bucky successfully using the arm."
Everyone ooohed and aahhed as a holographic screen appeared. It began to play a video of Bucky testing out his arm.
"Ok, now do the thing!"
He easily folded three fingers and created the finger gun. "Like this?"
"Omg yes, this is amazing, I need to tell Shuri! Just amazing. I'm a genius-"
"Ok Friday, stop the video."
It ended and everyone burst out laughing. Even Flash, to my surprise.
I answered a couple more questions, but my phone started ringing. It was Shuri.
Well I couldn't leave her hanging, so I accepted the video call.
"Heeeeeeeeeeeey my dude!"
"Wassup?"
"Well I just remembered another very important and solid evidence of Steve and Bukcy's relationship."
Well I was pumped to hear what she had to say, but everyone was watching me.
"Sorry Shuri, but can you call me back later? A lot of my classmates were taking a tour today and are in my lab right now."
She paused and grinned. "HI PETER'S CLASS!"
There were a few hellos back.
"Well I guess I'll go then."
I was about to agree before I saw MJ's glare. "Wait! There's someone here that wants to talk to you."
Without hesitation she snatched the phone out of my hand. "Damn right I do. Hi babe."
It was honestly adorable how Shuri' face lit up. "Heeeey Emmy! How's it going?" (Emmy as in the M in MJ)
"Pretty good. This trip is a goldmine for my sketchbook."
"Oooh you gotta show me those later."
"You got it. Anyways, I found a crap ton more horror movies for us to laugh at, so convince your brother to let you come over."
The entire class was super confused at this point.
"Ugh, he's so annoying. It's not that hard to get to America so I don't get why it's such a big deal. I'll try. It might take a while but hopefully I'll be able to stay for a month or so."
"Hell yea! You do that. Love you!"
She handed the phone back to me.
"Love you too! Oh and I have a message for the tour group."
I turned the screen around so she could face them.
"It's free real estate."
With that, she was gone.
MJ, Ned, and I were used to this, but still burst out laughing.
Everyone else, just stood there frozen in confusion.
"Guys I think we broke them."
...
"MJ put your notebook down."
