Meanwhile In Mystic Falls

Peter sat in the Alaric Saltzman's office with Stark.

"I've heard quite a few things about you, Peter Parker," Alaric said.

"You have," Peter asked, getting worried.

"Don't worry. It's practically my job to know about the young and powerful," Alaric reasoned, leaning forward on his desk, "It's also my job to make sure they're are safe and protected within these school walls."

Stark hummed as he listened to Alaric go over what is all involved in attending the Salvatore school.

"What about his job as Spider-Man," Stark asked, involving himself into the conversation, "Wouldn't he have to quit?"

"Most cases he would, but since you are here, I will leave that decision up to you two," Alaric explained, "Whatever choice you make, just be sure to let me know. That way you don't get written up for randomly ditching. Okay?"

"Okay. But what about visitation? Would I be able to go visit my friends and family," Peter asked.

"Of course. We usually have school breaks during holidays. Weekends are also free for you to leave campus. There's also summer vacation, and if you needed, I could write a slip for you to stay with your family for the week," Alaric said.

Peter gave a bright smile at hearing he still had a choice to visit New York.

"Anything else," Alaric asked.

"Would he have tools to keep making his web," Stark asked.

"You tell us what you use and we'll provide it for you," Alaric reassured.

"I got nothing else," Stark shrugged.

"Then Peter, I'll have you get a tour while I talk to your father," Alaric smiled, calling in MG.

"Hey, you must be Peter. I'm MG," MG greeted, shaking his hand, "I'll show you around."

Peter glanced at Stark before leaving the room. MG showed him the different rooms while holding a regular conversation with him.

"So Peter Parker is your actual name? Let me guess, your mom was a Comic Book reader," MG asked, low-key excited to hear about this.

"I wouldn't know," Peter shrugged, "I didn't really know her."

"I'm sorry to hear that," MG apologized, "Peter Parker is a hero widely known as Spider-Man in some comics. It's really dumb, childish stuff."

Peter knitted his eyebrows as he glanced at MG.

"I know. I probably sound like a nerd," MG chuckled, getting embarrassed.

"Not at all," Peter smiled, "Tell me about these comics of... Spinder Man?"

"Spider-Man is his hero name. So he fights crime in New York. He has spider like abilities," MG said, his eyes lighting up joyfully.

"Spider like abilities? Sounds kind of boring, doesn't it," Peter asked.

"Hell no! Spider-Man makes it look badass," MG grinned.

"Sounds like you're a huge fan," Peter smirked.

"He was my first childhood superhero, y'know," MG shrugged, "The hiding in plain sight, but still being heroic enough to protect his city. Who wouldn't love that guy?"

Peter hummed softly to himself while following MG through the rest of the tour. At the end of the tour, MG took him back to Alaric's office. Stark had already finished signing the papers for Peter to stay there. Then he walked out with Peter by his side.

"Are you sure you'll be okay," Stark asked.

"I'll be fine. I swear. I'm sure Hope and Jack are around here somewhere," Peter reassured.

"Be careful, kid," Stark said, touching his shoulder gently before leaving.

Peter watched the car disappear down the road. Then he went to look for Hope and Jack.
