A few minutes later I saw myself hopping out of the helicopter and into one of my dad's car. Dad too the driver's sit and I too the sit beside him. He started the engine putting his sit belt on. I did the same though I still got no idea where we are going.
"Dad, where we are going?" I asked
"Queens" he answered shortly
"what are we going to do there?"
"We are going to see my plan" He said quite excited. I just sighed and look outside the window.
"I think, we need to talk about what you really did during your so called vacation" he said, I look at him then to my lap. Though I may seem fine about me lying to my dad, I still felt guilty about it.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I never wanted to lie or hide things from you. Its just that Steve asked me to help him and to don't tell anyone " I said still not looking at him.
"I manage to locate Bucky from one of the cctv in Bucharest then we quickly went there since he's always on the move and we were able to find him. I went to see and talk to him alone since Steve said it might make Bucky agitated when he sees him" I continue my story, I took a small glance at him. He was still looking straight outside.
"and since then, Bucky and I kept in contact. That's the reason why I am confident that Bucky didn't do it" I said then turning my gaze back again at the window " the... the bombing in Vienna I mean. That's also the reason why Steve and I always spend time together more often than needed not because I like him like the way you were thinking"
Dad kept quiet, then he click his tongue then spend a glance at me then look back at the road.
"I am not mad at you for hiding something from me, I am not really mad at you in general" he said softly "and I'm sorry for what I told you that night at the tower. I didn't mean that" I smiled at him
"I know, I just needed time to think that's why I was avoiding you" I said. He smiled then look at me then back at the road once again.
"You hungry?" He asked. I chuckled
"very" I answered he stop at a deli store that has a sign that read Delmar's Deli-Grocery. We ordered sandwiches and sprite for me and a coke for him. Then we once again go back driving stopping at a building. I was still confused on to why we are here. Dad and I enter the building then hoping on the elevator and into one of the rooms. He knocks three times then a lady maybe in her late 30's though she seems pretty, opens the door. She smiled at us.
"Can I help you?" the lady asked still smiling, she seems to realized who dad was since her eyes got bigger
"Is Mr. Peter Parker here?" My dad asked. Peter Parker? That name seems oddly familiar to me.
"oh, No he's still at school but he'll be home any moment now." She answered "why don't you too come in until Peter arrived?" she continue opening the door wider and dad smile sweetly at the lady and enter the house, I followed him also smiling at the lady.
The living room is composed of a brown sofa on the center and a single sofa in each of its side though they all both have different colors. There's also a lamp shade with different heights in either side of the brown sofa. The lady motioned for us to sit down. Dad took a sit at the brown sofa while I took a sit that facing my back at the door.
"I'm sorry but I didn't get your name?" dad said turning at the lady who took a sit beside him.
"Oh yes, yes My name's May. I am Peter's aunt" May said smiling.
"Hello, I apologized that we just barged in here without any further notice" I said giving a look at dad who avoided my gaze.
"It's fine" She said "You're Aya Stark aren't you? Peter's been talking about you non-stop after he saw you at the bus"
So that's him, the kid that I met at the bus. So dad able to contact him after all, but what for?
"are you guys hungry? I just made a meatloaf" she said standing up walking towards the kitchen. I lean over at dad and whisper enough for him to hear.
"Dad, can you please tell me what are we doing here?" I asked
"you'll find out what it is, but for now just go with it" he said smirking at me. I just sigh rolling my eyes. May got back with two plates a slice of the loaf in each and handed it to me and one to dad which he took a piece and put it in his mouth. I can see the change in his expression so I laugh a bit. May looking at him, waiting for his reaction.
"It's good, this are very good" he said nodding. I simply cast 'out an illusion in the plate that shows it's half empty. I heard rumble at the door an peered over my shoulder and I saw it open revealing a boy wearing a white shirt and a grey hoody, red backpack slide on his right shoulder and a DVD-player on his left hand, on of his ear buds are on his right ear. He seems didn't see me or my dad.
"Hey, May." The boy greeted. Putting down his bag on the dining chair and the player on the table.
"Mmm. Hey. How was school today?" May asked
"Okay. This crazy car parked outside . . ." he said while finally looking at where May is. He saw dad still holding a piece of the meatloaf.
"Oh, Mr. Parker." Dad said looking at Peter like he just notice him
" Um . . . " he takes his earphones off "What--what are you doing . . .? Hey! Uh, I'm--Im--I'm Peter." folding his arms in an awkward way
"Tony" Dad said. Peter were just smiling looking at dad then he noticed me.
"h-hi! I... uh- Hi!" he said stuttering. I chuckle and wave at him. "What are . . .what are you--what are you--what are you doing here?"
"It's about time we met. You've been getting my e-mails, right?" dad said and Peter seems like confused on what my dad was telling him but he still agrees
"Yeah. Yeah. Regarding the . . ." Peter said thinking of what can it possibly regard of
"You didn't tell me about the grant." May said
"About the grant." Peter continue, still confused because probably he never remember entering any grant.
"The September Foundation." Dad said "Remember when you applied?"
"Yeah" Peter answered. Dad put down the loaf in his hands and take a sip on the coffee.
" I approved, so now we're in business."
"You didn't tell me anything. What's up with that? You keeping secrets from me now?" May said
"Why, I just, I just . . . I just know how much you love surprises, so I thought I would let you know . . . wh . . . anyway, what did I apply for?" I chuckled
"That's what I'm here to hash out."
" It's so hard for me to believe that she's someone's aunt." okay? Is he flirting her, I don't know.
"Yeah, well, we come in all shapes and sizes, you know?" May said smiling
"This walnut date loaf is exceptional."
"Let me just stop you there." Peter said, seems like he's slightly grasping the situation
"Yeah?"
" Is this grant, like, got money involved or whatever? No?"
"Yeah. It's pretty well funded." Dad said he looks at May "Look who you're talking to. Can I have 5 minutes with him?"
"Sure"
