I walked down the corridor when I saw Liz down the hall. She was crying, just saying goodbye to Betty.

I walked up to her. "Hey." I said, quietly.

"Hi."

"I'm sorry about your dad."

"Thanks. I know, it's not worth much, but I am sorry about Peter."

I nodded. "Are you going to be okay?"

"We're moving to Oregon, so..."

"Okay. I'm sorry about Prom."

"Yeah. Well, I have to go."

"Bye Liz."

"Bye Amelia."


Later we had the Decathlon meeting. "We will need a new team captain next year. So I am appointing Michelle." Everyone clapped and I smiled at her.

"Thank you, my friends call me MJ." She said.

"I thought you didn't have any friends." Ned said.

"I didn't."

"I gotta go." Peter said. I looked at his phone. An unknown number told him to go to the toilets.

"Hey, where are you going?" MJ questioned him. "What are you hiding Peter?" Peter, Ned and I looked shocked. "I'm just kidding. I don't care. Bye." She chuckled. "All right, so we should run some drills."

"Yeah."

After three minutes Peter came back. "Hey guys, I'm sorry, me and Amelia really need to go."

I looked at him confused. "Do we?" He furrowed his eyes at me. "Oh right, right. We have that thing. Yeah, sorry." I grabbed my bag and walked out with Peter.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"Happy is taking us to the new Avengers building."

"Wait, they finished it?"

"Yeah. You coming?"

"Of course." I kissed him and pulled him with me.

I sat next to Happy and Peter sat behind us. "Take a look." Happy said when we were next to the building. "It's pretty impressive, huh? They just finished remodelling the whole thing."

Happy parked the car and we walked in. I walked around admiring the whole building. "Oh, there they are." I heard Dad's voice.

"Hey Dad." I said to him, smiling.

"Hey sweetie." He kissed the top of my head. "How was the ride up?" He turned to Peter.

"Good." Happy answered.

"Give me a minute with the kid."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah."

"Why is that so surprising, Happy?" I teased him.

"I'll be close behind." Happy said.

"How about a loose follow? All right? Boundaries are good."

Dad fist bumped Peter's shoulder and they started walking. I was on dad's right, Peter on his left. He put his hand around Peter shoulders.

"Sorry I took your suit. I mean, you had it coming. Actually, it turns out it was the perfect tough-love moment that you needed. To urge you on, right? Wouldn't you think? Don't you think?"

"I guess." Peter said.

"Let's just say it was." I kicked dad slightly on his stomach.

"Mr. Stark, I really—"
