Exposed || PETER PARKER [3]

[04]: Doc Ock

2023 ― Queens, New York

After Peter spoke to Flash, he learned the person he needed to talk to was on her way to the airport, so naturally, he put on his suit and went to see if he could find her. Since New York is New York, she was stuck in traffic. Amaya, who had been flying over the city, saw Peter's suit sitting on a highway sign, so she quietly landed next to him.

"What are you doing?" Amaya asked. Peter was so caught off by her voice that he almost fell off the sign. He was able to keep his composure, and he turned to his girlfriend.

"What are you doing?" He asked, and she shrugged her shoulders.

"I was flying home when I saw your suit, so I thought I'd see what plan you were up to now," Amaya said, and Peter sighed.

"Well, I called Flash, and he said the woman I needed to speak with to plead our case is on her way to the airport, but since Stark Industries is under investigation, none of my suit tech is working," Peter said.

"You need your suit tech to go talk to someone?" She asked.

"No, it's just harder to find her through facial recognition because it isn't working," Peter said, and she nodded her head. Then the couple heard a helicopter flying overhead, and they both stood up and balanced themselves on the highway sign.

"Hi," Peter said as he waved at the helicopter, and Amaya rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, we can see you," Amaya said, and she shook her head. "Asshole." She mumbled before she sat back down.

"You're not coming with me?" Peter asked, and Amaya shrugged her shoulders.

"I already called and appealed my case to MIT; they're not going to accept us, Peter. I'll be up here if you need me, though." Amaya said, and Peter frowned, although Amaya couldn't see that since his mask was on. Now he was even more determined to get the representative to listen.

"Alright, I'll be right back." He said. Amaya nodded her head as Peter hopped down from the sign, and she watched as he made his way through the cars to find the right woman. Peter, on the other hand, was determined.

He was determined to make this right for all of them.

Peter let his nano-tech suit disappear, and he had on a regular suit-and-tie underneath as he weaved his way through the cars. People were honking at him as he made his way through, and then he noticed the outline of the back of the woman's head in an SUV, and he made his way over toward her. Peter adjusted his suit before walking over to her vehicle and knocking on the window.

She rolled down her window, surprised to see him. "Yeah." She said.

"Hi... I'm...-I'm Peter Parker." He said.

"You do know you're in the street, right?" She asked, and he nodded his head.

"Yeah, I know. I'm...-I'm sorry. I just really needed to talk to you, and I know you're on your way to the airport. Amaya Rogers, MJ Watson, and Ned Leeds are the three smartest people I've ever met in my entire life. And it's not Amaya's fault she was born with powers; she didn't ask for them. I know it was stupid for the two of us to let MJ and Ned help us, but if they hadn't helped us, millions of people would've died, so please, don't... don't let MIT be dumb like me." Peter said.

"MIT is dumb?" She asked, and Peter immediately shook his head.

"No, no. I'm saying don't let MIT be dumb. I mean, like the dumber version of me that wouldn't have let them help." He said.
