POV: Peter

-MJ knows Peter is Spiderman (he walked onto a wall on accident) and time skip to school because I'm dying putting in filler crap when there could be field trip drama-


Mr. Stark offers to drop me off, but I take my bike because I'm pretty sure everyone would notice I'm getting dropped off by Tony Stark.

Either way, I find Ned immediately and pull him to a corner where no one would care what we're talking about.

"Ned, I've been hanging out with the Avengers for two days and I need to tell you everything," I said.

"Dude," he answered. "The literal Avengers?"

"The literal Avengers," I said. "Plus a wizard and Loki and a dude with a metal arm."

"Dude."

"Mr. Stark's helping me make a spider suit," I whispered.

"Legit?" he asked.

"Yeah. It's crazy. He might let me bring you at some point-"

"You know anyone who cares can hear you," MJ said from behind me. I turned.

"The Avengers!" me and Ned said, but quietly. She rolled her eyes.

"Yes, the Avengers. It's almost like they exist and Peter is either smart or lucky enough to make them all coffee in the morning," she said cynically.

"He's helping me make a spider suit!" I hissed, bouncing on my heels. She sighed.

"So are you an Avenger in training or some crap like that?"

"No, I'm just there to help Mr. Stark with his inventing and stuff. Like you said, I make his coffee," I said quickly, because Mr. Stark already told me I'm not an Avenger and I'm totally fine with being a friendly neighborhood Spiderman catching drug dealers like he said.

"You did stop the HYDRA thing though. What was that about?" she said. It took me a moment to remember that Flash had filmed that. Dang. It'd been a thing, then.

"I don't even know," I said, which was mostly truthful.

"I'm pretty sure Flash just photoshopped the whole thing. Right?" Ned asked. I shrugged.

"I mean, I didn't see, but there were HYDRA dudes smashing things," I said. I'd have to ask Mr. Stark later how much I could tell them.

"You've met the Avengers!?!?" Ned said, as though just remembering. At that moment, though, the morning announcements come on and we all have to sit down.

Class happens, I write notes, and MJ shows me a drawing of someone she deemed 'in crisis'. Ned keeps asking whispered questions and I keep telling him I'll answer later and I should try and do my homework right now so I don't have to at the internship. Which only gave him more questions.

So that happens for a couple of periods, Flash shouts stupid names from across the hallways, which I ignore, and finally we have lunch and we manage to find a table to ourselves. There I proceed to tell them just about everything, from the moment I met Mr. Stark. Then I remember how this all started with me meeting Loki in the library and told them about that as well.

"So wait," Ned said, "You have them all on a group chat?"

"Yeah," I said, breathless at realizing how insane this all is.

"Are you going to add us or not?" MJ said, glancing up from drawing a put-upon custodian.

"I'll ask," I said, making a mental note. "But Mr. Strange said not to flood it with memes and junk, so I'm pretty sure now it's like... emails or something. Maybe I can make a new one."

"Dude. Epic," Ned said. "You need to get footage of Thor yelling 'yeet' and chucking the hammer with like lightning and then send it to me."

"I would enjoy that, too," MJ said. I smiled.

"Working on it. I'm going to get them all to sing karaoke at one point, too."

"We can still make another Lego set on Saturday, right?" Ned said.

"Of course, yes," I answered immediately.

"Decathlon practice on Thursday," MJ said. "If you miss Decathlon again I will personally make sure it never happens again."

Being used to her vague half-threats, I nodded.

"Yeah. Don't we have a field trip tomorrow? Like, to-"

"One of the chaperones cancelled. So unless we get another one, nope. To some sort of lab somewhere," MJ said. I hadn't been paying attention to the morning announcements so I took her word for it.

"So. We're not going to talk about any other stuff that happened over the weekend?" I said finally. "Anything interesting happening?"

"I assume we're not going to talk about how you know Loki?" MJ pointed out.

"Why would we?" I said, realizing exactly why we would.

"Dude. He like, tried to take over the world," Ned said. 

"Mind controlled!" I added, but I could tell it was a bit off. Loki himself had said so, he'd still wanted a throne.

"I'm sure anyone with an army would want to take over the world," MJ said, closing her sketchbook. "Which, by the way, do you know where the mind control stick is? I can think of just one person I'd love to use it on."

"MJ, you better stop talking like that or Mr. Strange is going to put you on his 'may destroy reality' list," I said half seriously.

"Does that mean I'd get to be locked in Avengers Tower and skip school?" she asked, pretending to weigh the consequences. "Doesn't seem that bad."

"Dudes. What if..." he drum-rolled on the table, "One of the Avengers can chaperone the thing!"

Me and MJ stared at him. He slapped his hands down again for emphasis.

"They're busy," MJ said, looking around for another person to draw.

"Are they really though?" Ned pointed out. "If they can play Kahoot with Peter then they can chaperone a field trip!"

"Mr. Stark's working a lot," I said. "Plus it's probably too late-"

"You should ask," MJ said, sketching an outline. "Costs you nothing. You don't even have to ask. Just mention the cancelled field trip."

"You totally should," Ned added. I sighed.

"There's no way this is going to work," I said.

They both smiled because they knew I'd try anyway.
