WRONG NUMBER, But Thanks For Calling?

realization

Peter stepped out of the starks tower and let out a HUGE sigh. "That was terrifying." He said. Peter began walking and decided to head to the library before going home.

A quick walk later and Peter saw the library. The bell ringed as he walked through and the immediate smell of dust and paper refreshed his senses.

He let out a heavy breath and smiled, walking straight to the comic section. Peter always visited the library at least once a week, and sat down at the exact same spot in the comic section. He liked reading all of the comics made about his idols; the avengers. Some comics were made up, just "wow that would have been cool" things that never happened, but some told true tales about the avengers. And Peter was always there to read them. And maybe one day, they would add a spiderman comic. That had never happened.

Yet.

Peter entered his lovely area, and stopped in his tracks. "Lilac." He said.

Lilac was sitting in his spot, reading the one and only spiderman comic. Peter would have focused on lilac, if not for the shiny cover exposing THE spiderman suit.

"Woah, when did you get this one?" Peter asked and sat down next to lilac. Lilac put down her comic. "It just came in today." She said. "You like comics?" She asked.

Peter looked up at the 5 shelves of comics. "I love them. Read every single one of these." He said. Lilac looked up and then back at Peter with a smile. She picked up the comic book again. "really?" This is the first one I've read."

Peter wanted to keep talking, but something  about lilac was always off. "Lucky." He said. Peter got up to leave, but lilac stopped him. "Do you like spiderman?" She asked.

Peter stopped walking and turned around. "I guess." He said. "Never really thought of it." He quickly said. Lilac looked down. "Why?" He asked.

Lilac hid her disappointed look. "Just wondering. You seemed excited to see this comic." She said. Peter looked at it again and smiled. "Yeah I guess."

Peter turned around and went walking off again. "Tell me how it goes." He said.

NEXT DAY, SATURDAY AT STARK TOWER

"Here you go Mr stark." Peter handed tony his coffee. Tony had never said it outloud, but every one of Peter's coffees had been perfect. "Thanks." He said.

Tony and Peter were on level 55, but in Tony's personal lab. It was huge, Peter was in heaven.

Tony was working on alarm clock, little did Peter know; he was testing him again. "Look here, Pete. I need you to watch what I'm doing carefully." He said. Peter snapped into attention and watched carefully. 20 minutes went by, and Tony was still building it.

Another 10 minutes later, and tony decided he was done. "And done." He said. Peter nodded. "Good job." Peter said awkwardly.

Tony put on a face. "You think so?" He said. Then, in a rage tony pulled it all apart- carefully. "I hate it." He said.

With in seconds, tony pulled everything apart. The last 30 minutes wasted.

Tony looked at his rubbish and smiled on the inside. "Actually, I liked it." He said. Peter was confused as ever.

Tony handed peter a screwdriver and his tools. "Fix it for me?" He asked. Tony got up and went to leave the lab. Peter stood with a screwdriver in his hand.
