CHAPTER SEVEN-----▹

"I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU GOT US STUCK IN HERE!" Tess sighed leaning against the cement wall, "I'm supposed to be the reckless one,"

The past few hours had been very chaotic and eventful, the Parkers successfully removed trackers planted by none other than Tony Stark, snuck out of the hotel, and almost got killed by the guy with the bird wings (yes, again.)

Now here they were trapped in the most secure facility on the eastern seaboard, "You followed me!" Peter exclaimed, "Yeah! What else was I supposed to do? Let you be reckless and yourself killed?"

"The door probably won't open until morning," the suit AI, stated, "Great," Tess sighed, "We are never going to make it back in time."

Peter now laid on a hammock made out of webs, and Tess was somewhere nearby trying to figure out absolutely anything to get them out of here.

"I found the glowy thing!" Tess shouted from the inside of a truck, Peter jolted up from his spot and made his way over to the brunette.

"That glowy thing is an explosive chitauri energy core." The AI informed, "Wait-" Tess started as they both jumped back, "We've been carrying around a bomb!" They both exclaimed.

"It would require radiation to transform it into an explosive state." The AI continued, "Crap, please, please-  per favore dimmi che ce l'hai e che non l'hai lasciato a Ned," (please tell me you have it and didn't leave it with Ned)  Tess exclaimed, "I'm assuming that is your way of yelling at me, but I have to warn Ned."

"No, no, no, no" Peter muttered, as Ned didn't pick up the phone,  "Where are you going?" Tess shouted behind him, he swung over and began beating on the door, "Hi- please, please!" he shouted.

Meanwhile, Tess began to work on the programming of the door,  "Peter if you're done being an idiota I could use your help!"

The door didn't open until the Decathlon match was already done, and they happened to be slightly too late to stop the glowy thing, aka alien explosive, from going through the x-ray.

They bolted down the sidewalk, and just as they got to the monument bits of stone fell away from the top of the monument. "Merda!" (shit) Tess exclaimed, 

"My friends are up there!" MJ exclaimed, and if it hadn't been such poor timing, Tess would've smiled, MJ had friends now.

"What?" Peter and Tess exclaimed, "Uh- I mean Don't worry Ma'am everything is going to be ok."

"Exscuse me, excuse me!" They cut through the crowd of people, "Oh my god that's tall-" 

"You think?" Tess half-shouted, they climbed up the sides of the building Tess freaking out the entire time- she hates heights.

"Peter, I can't do this-" Tess spoke clinging onto the side of the building and not moving any further.

"Yes. You can. I believe in you, Tess. I'm right here, it's okay."  Tess looked at him in disbelief, "It's not okay! Our friends are up there- Gwen is up there. We're never going to make it!"

Tess fell back slightly as one of her feet slipped, but Peter grabbed her wrist, and she let out a gasp, "Holy- I thought I was going to die-" 

"Yeah, yeah- you wouldn't have died- but we have some people to save so- let's get moving." Peter stated, "Ok, ok, deep breaths Tess, deep breaths," she whispered to herself.

Their goal was the window, however, the glass wouldn't break, and Tess was clinging on to the building for dear life, as Peter continued trying to break the glass. Just to make things worse the police decided to show up, "Hey- I don't really want to get shot at again- So we have to do something!" Tess exclaimed

"I have an idea! Just hold on!" Peter shouted, "Yeah-  I don't think that's going to be a problem," Tess gulped eyes avoiding the ground.

Peter jumped over the helicopter, swing directly into the window which shattered upon the force, and Tess quickly crawled over climbing through the window. 

Tess made it inside just in time for Peter to state that he did it, but then proceed to fall, "Hold on!" she shouted, webbing the elevator, Tess cleared her throat, "Hey- um, Spiderman, A little help?"

Peter's eyes widened, and he shot a web upward so that he and Tess could work together to pull up the elevator. They both strained trying to pull it up, and once it got to the top, two security guards pulled the doors open, Ned and Gwen climbed out followed by the rest of the people in the elevator...except Liz.

The poor girl almost plummeted to her death, until Peter's web wrapped around her wrist, and pulled her back up to safety.

"So uh-" Peter started, "Is everyone ok?" Tess finished, and they received shaken, nods from the group standing in front of them.

"Oh-no-" Tess slipped from beside Peter falling downward, "I better," he pointed down, "Thank you!" the teacher yelled after the two.

It was dark by the time the yellow school busses brought Midtown High's Decathlon Team home. "Tess! Peter- oh my god!" May exclaimed pulling them in for a hug, "I was so worried," she breathed.

"We're ok, Mama," Tess said softly not letting go of May even after Peter had.

"SO YOU GOT DETENTION," Tess' urge to punch the stars and stripes wearing hundred-year-old dude, grew stronger every time she was forced to watch one of these videos. "You screwed up, you knew what you did was wrong. The question is, how are you going to make it right?"

Tess dropped her head to the desk, briefly glancing at a completely unbothered MJ. "This sucks," she mouthed, "For you," MJ replied with a teasing smile.

Peter abruptly stood up, causing Tess to shoot him a questioning look, "Where are you going? Get back here." The coach stated, not bothering to move, "I'm just gonna," Tess pointed in the direction Peter just disappeared off to, "Yeah."

"Wait, both of you...Why are you even here? You don't have detention." He asked MJ, "Oh, I know. I just like coming here," She lifted up the notebook, "To sketch people in crisis. Heh. It's you."

"Peter! Where are you going?" Tess asked catching up with him, "To solve a mystery." He tossed the bottle of web fluid into the air, catching it seconds later.
