Silk & Cologne | Miguel O'Hara

Chapter 7 - Lesson

As much as I disliked how my first training session ended today, I was so happy to actually sit down and allow my body to rest for a while. Hobie was true to his word and bought me brunch at the cafeteria. Today they were serving breakfast burrito specials. The patties had the classic red and blue Spider-Man colour scheme.

The two of us sat at an empty table, away from the large crowds. I had downed two bottles of water before even digging into my burrito. It was juicy, flavorful, everything I could want when I was on the verge of collapsing after an intense workout made for Olympians.

"Don't you think you were a little harsh with him, Hobie?" I asked Spider-Punk as I came up for air.

"Nah, the boss had it coming," He shook his head. "I wasn't a fan of how he was treating you new blood,"

I stopped munching on my burrito, swallowing. "You were watching me?"

"For a while," I nodded as he drank a sip of his soda. Compared to myself, he had barely touched his burrito. "I gotta give it to ya, girlie, you really were committed to all that,"

"If I want to get these powers under control, I don't exactly have any other options," I shrugged.

"True, but Miguel ain't the only one that can teach you," Hobie grinned.

"So you have previously said," I raised a curious brow at the man.

Hobie certainly knew how to push people's buttons. Definitely the rebel type. I could tell that training with him would be interesting.

"Hey, Lisa!" A voice called out to me.

I looked over to see Gwen walking towards me, waving as Peter B. walked alongside her, only he wasn't alone. He wore a pink bathrobe over top of his suit and came equipped with a baby carrier and lo and behold, there was a baby inside!

"Hi Gwen," I waved over at her before my eyes widened at the little bundle in Peter's care. She had short and wild red hair and piercing green eyes. Her giggles were infectious as I cooed, "Who is this little bundle of joy?"

"Lisa, I'd like to formally introduce you to Mayday Parker," Peter smiled proudly as he adjusted her Spider-Man themed beanie before slipping it on her head.

"She is so precious," I booped her little nose and she giggled excitedly.

"I'm gonna grab her some milk and I'll join you guys," Peter pointed out to the order counter. "Gwen, do you want anything?"

"Nah, I'm not hungry, you go and spoil her," Gwen waved him off with a polite smile as she took a seat next to Hobie.

"Alrighty, come on, May-May, let's see if we can get you some strawberry milk," Peter coddled her as they went off.

I smiled as I watched them. MayDay had her father wrapped around her little finger and they were just adorable together. As I turned back to my table partners, Hobie broke what remained of his burrito in half and gave it to Gwen. "Here Gweny,"

"Thanks Hobie," Gwen smirked as she began to munch on the burrito.

"Wait, I thought you told Peter that you weren't hungry?" I asked, appearing confused.

"Yeah, I love the guy, but he almost always gets my order wrong," Gwen chuckled sweetly as she began to eat her half. "I appreciate the effort, though. Oh hey! How did your first training session go with Miguel?"

"Well, it was going as well as it could have been if Miguel were training me to join Nasa!" I grumbled.

"That bad, huh?" She raised a curious brow at me, a hint of concern on her face.
