Denial - Peter Parker

Chapter 2

I was falling.. but the ground never came. 

I woke up with a startle, breaking out into a cold sweat. I looked around and saw I was in the training room. Clint suddenly appeared with a glass of water. I took the glass and took a sip. "Hey kid, we were training when you passed out. You should be okay, no injuries." I stand up. "Thanks, Clint. How long was I out for?" Clint scratched at the back of his neck. Not a good sign. He's nervous. "Maybe just um, four hours?" I began to cough. "Four hours?! Does my dad know what happened?!" Clint coughed awkwardly, lowering his hand. "I maybe.. didn't tell him?" 

I sighed and started to walk away "Oh my god. It's okay, I'm okay. I'll be fine, I might just take an advil and go for a little walk." Clint beamed a smile at me, "Have fun kid!" 

I slipped upstairs, unnoticed by the Avengers in the tower. I quickly got into my suit, a silky suit with a green base, vines all around. Once in the suit I could access flight, super vision, night vision, incognito mode, whatever that is, and a ton more, but my dad installed a "Training Wheels" program to be activated, unless i'm on missions.

I slid out of my window and began to fly around the city, shooting vines and swinging from them. I stopped onto one particular rooftop when I was someone. Someone like me, in what looked to be a homemade suit. He flinched and turned around when I leaped onto the rooftop "H-Hey! Your Green Vine right? The one who works with the avengers?" The guy sounded young. Maybe a bit older than I was. "Oh. Yeah. That's me! Who are you again?" The boy looked down. I could sense the embarrassment in his voice. "I'm the friendly neighborhood spiderman! Right here in queens. He looked back up at me, and sat down. "You can sit if you want, I don't care." I sat down next to him, but left some space in between us. So your the spiderman, huh? That's cool?" "Yeah! I was just swinging around." I stared at his hands. "Are the webs like, inside your hands?" I looked up at his face, then back down to his hands. "Oh! No. It's just my web shooter." Peter took of the shooter and handed it to me. I took it and gazed at it, fascinated. He didn't know why he was telling her about himself. Or why the mysterious hero was listening. "Sorry," The boy apologized as he paused and then continued again. "I kind of talk a lot. Most people get annoyed with me." 

The two sat on the roof together for a bit, watching the sunset. "You know, you're a really fun person to talk to." I smiled at him, although he couldn't see it. "We should do this again?" Peter suggested softly. "I'd love that. 7pm tomorrow night?" I started to get up, yawning slightly. "That would be great. See you later, Green."

The next morning I woke up to my alarm, grogily getting up and walking to my closet. I got dressed into some black jeans and a green top, pairing it with white and gray nike sneakers. I decided to go and take some Instagram pictures outside. It was real pretty outside today, slightly cold, though.

I smiled at the comments. I was glad i started making friends. It was so much better than being coped in the tower all day long.

I walked into class and took my seat in science. We were going to be doing some sort of lab today, for a bit of a 'fun' activity. I grabbed the supplies necessary and began to do what the instructions said, my partner helping me.

After science was History, which I dreaded the most. I took my seat and got out my textbook and weekend homework. Luckily, it was mostly correct so I got an A.

After History, I walked into lunch and sat down, chatting with Liz and the rest of the table. I felt someone staring at me, and just as I turned around there was Peter, looking at me like before. I smiled and felt my face heat up from remembering his comment on my Instagram post this morning. No, that's stupid. He was just being friendly. Chill out, Payton. 

Sometime after lunch had ended I had taken the hall pass, walking past the one and only, Mystery Boy. He looks up at me, an turns back around. "Hey, Payton! I don't know if you remember me" "I do, I do!" I looked at his hair. Gosh, was his hair was adorable.  "Cool, cool! I'm Peter, we talked at Delmars. I know we haven't known each other long, but I wanted to ask you something.
