Complications • Peter Parker X Reader

11. Mugged

A few days had passed since I'd found out about my invisibility powers. I had decided in the end that because I was so busy with school work and new surroundings that I would leave the training for now at least.

I was sat in my last lesson of the day staring at the ticking clock. I was in maths. We we're learning algebra. I didn't fully understand what the teacher meant by letters having number values that I had to work out.

Peter noticed my stress and panic and tapped my shoulder.
"Hey, let me help you," he said and I nodded moving my notebook closer to him.

He explained how algebra worked however I wasn't completely focused on that. This was because I was in a tense and nervous state. Happy was busy today so I had to walk home from school. I was a bit nervous because I'd didn't know how to get home so I asked around if anyone could pick me up but they were all busy.

Instead, my dad had given me a pair of glasses. They had been modified so FRIDAY controlled them. This meant that the glasses were basically a satnav so I knew how to get home.

At the end of the day, our teacher came over to check our work.
"Hmm, Mr Parker, you've done less work than normal. Disappointing," she said.
"Excuse me miss, I'm not trying to be rude or anything but the reason Peter doesn't have a lot of work is because he was helping me," I explained.
"Oh, sorry Peter I didn't know," She said.
"It's ok miss," Peter said before taking his book to put into his bag.

I grabbed my bag and put my book in the back pocket before shutting it and shoving it on my back.
"Bye y/n," Peter said to me as he walked past me.
"Bye Parker," I said before he left the classroom.

A few seconds later, I left the class and started to walk through the halls full of crowds of people desperate to escape and get home.

I walked out of school before stopping by a lampost.
"Friday," I muttered under my breath.
"Yes Miss Stark," the glasses said back loud enough so only I could hear properly.
"Can you give me directions home please?" I asked at the same volume I had spoke in before.
"Of course Miss Stark," FRIDAY said and a faint noise sounded before a set of directors showed up on the screen.

I followed the directions before I got into an alleyway. It was small and crampt. It stunk of sewage waste and it made me cover my nose to avoid the smell.

I kept walking and a light flickered on. The walls with the dim light began to shine. The light gave me a sense of relaxation.

I continued walking and then noticed graffiti on the wall. They were all different colours and sizes. As I continued to walk, the light flickered off.

A wave of panic sprang down my spine but I continued walking. I could see the light at the end of the alleyway which gave me a sense of hope. I picked up the pace and continued to walk until I felt my body being thrown onto the wall.

I tried to push the weight off my body but it was too heavy. I was in full panic mode.
"Give me your bag!" The man shouted.

This man was tall. He had shoulder length ginger hair and a ginger shaved beard. He was wearing a black leather jacket and a t-shirt underneath with a red rose on it. He had tight leather jeans grabbing onto his skin as much as it could.

I didn't question him. Instead I did as he said. There was nothing valuable in it so I wasn't worried.

He grabbed my glasses off my face and opened my bag and tipped everything out onto the floor.
"Hmm nothing here I want," he said in a thick accent.

The man turned around and flung himself onto my body before trying to take my coat off. Then he slapped me across the face and punched my stomach. I closed my eyes trying to turn invisible but it wasn't working. I didn't know any self defence either.

I thought I was stuck here until I heard someone shout "hey man! You look really stupid there. Take your hands off that girl."

I felt the weight on my body leaving slightly and opened my eyes.

Spider-Man was hanging from the ceiling. He jumped down kicking the man in the face as he did so. Then he used his web-shooters to grab the guys jacket and pull him away from my body. He gave the man one last punch in the face before the man ran out of the alleyway.

I exhaled before going to grab my glasses and to put all my school stuff back into my bag. My stomach hurt when I moved but I tried my best to ignore it. I didn't want any questions at home.

"Hey y/n let me help you," Spider-Man said.
"How do you know my name?" I asked with suspicion.
"It says on this book," Spider-Man said picking up the book to show me before placing it back in my bag.
"Ah right," I said.

When we had put all my stuff in my bag, I thanked Spider-Man.
"No problem," he said before doing a backflip and using his web-shooters to leave the alleyway quicker.

"FRIDAY," I whispered again.
"Yes Miss Stark," she asked me.
"Can I have directions home please," I asked.
"Of course Miss Stark," FRIDAY said.

The directions showed up on the screen and I followed them home.
