The Sapphire Soldier

Part 8

"Congratulations, Decathlon national champions. I'm going to have to put this back in the trophy case soon, but just for motivation right now at this practice. I'm a little ahead of the game, but we will need a new team captain next year. So I'm appointing Michelle." He tells us
Everyone clapped and cheered for MJ
"Uh, thank you. My friends call me MJ." She says and I smile
"I thought you didn't have any friends?" Ned asked
"I.. didn't." MJ trailed off

Just as MJ starts talking both mine and Peter's phone went off. I look at him then picked my phone up
We both got a text saying "go to the bathroom"

"I... I gotta go" Peter says
"Me too" I say awkwardly
"Hey, where you going?" MJ asks making us stop "What are you hiding, guys?" She asks and I look at her confused
"I'm just kidding. I don't care. Bye." She said waving
"Bye" I laugh before walking off with Peter as she goes back to talking

We both get to the bathrooms and stop
"Which one is he in? He better be in the boys" I say
"Uhhh I would hope so" he laughs
I take a quick look in the girls to see he's not there
"Oh thank goodness" I mumble
"Wait, I have to go into the boys bathroom" I say almost throwing up
"Sorry" Peter says opening the door

We both walk in to see happy standing there
"Hey, Happy. What uh... What are you doing here?" Peter asks
"I really owe you guys one." Happy told us
"I don't know what I would do without this job. I mean, before I met Tony-" but he was cut off by a toilet flushing. Happy closed his eyes obviously annoyed. My eyes widen and I quickly get into the boys mind.
He walked out of the bathroom and look at them. He walked over to the sink and washed his hands then grabbed a paper towel, dried his hands and left.
"So, uh, how long you been here?" Peter asks
"Long enough to be awkward." He answers a little too quickly
"Boss wants to see you." He says pointing at Peter
"Is he here too?" Peter whispers very confused
"In the toilet?" Happy asks
"No, he's upstate." He told us
"Yeah, let's go." Happy said
"Me too?" I ask confused
"No, only Peter. Tony wanted me to tell you he would call you later. It's to risky for you to visit the compound right now" he says
And I nod understanding
"I'll call you later" Peter said
"Yeah. Bye" I say to both of them smiling

A little while after I got back I got a call from Peter
"How did it go?" I ask
"He offered me a spot on the avengers" he told me
"What?! That's amazing!" I say happy
"I turned it down tho" he said
"You did what?!" I yell
"I think I'm going to stay a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for right now. Enjoy high school" he tells me
"I have a idea" he says
"Oh no. What is it?" I ask him
"You and I should go out patrolling" he says
"Really? You think that's a good idea with Ross looking for me?" I ask
"No... yes...?" He says
"Screw it let's do it" I say
"I'll see you later then" he says
"Bye Pete" I say
"Bye Lizzie" he says

I left my apartment to go get some groceries. I got back fixed some food. As I was about to eat when I got a call from Tony.

"Hey Tony" I say
"Hey Elizabeth. I just wanted to tell you a few things" he tells me
"Yeah what's up?" I ask
"I wanted to first tell you good job. I'm proud of you for helping Peter even if it risked you getting seen. And talking about getting seen, yes Ross did see you. He has been looking none stop since he saw you and I quote make a big seen at some abandoned building. When he got there the building was destroyed and he immediately blamed you for it. I know it wasn't but Ross thinks it was you of course. Luckily I hacked some cameras deleted and which around some videos so his leads on you went cold" tony tells me
"Thank you so much Tony. It means a lot to me really. You know if you want get me a computer and I can do all the hacking for you. It was one of the many things I learned at Hydra" I tell him
"That sounds great. All of the hacking is really catching up to me" he says
"Yeah right" I roll my eyes
"Oh and one more thing" tony says
"Yeah?" I ask
"Look on your bed. I got you a little gift" he says then hangs up
"Wha-" I say but stop once I realized he hung up on me

I walk into my room and see a bag on my bed.
I open it up to see a new suit.
"Damn you Tony" I smile and quickly try it on

I look at myself in the mirror
"Son of a bitch" I smile

When the sun finally went down I hear a knock on my window
I quickly turn around to see Peter there in his spidey suit
I run over and open my window
"You're going to go out in that?" He laughs asking me
I look down to see I'm in pjs
"One second" I say running into my bathroom
Peter climbs inside as I open my door walking out in my new suit
Peter just stares at me not saying a word
"What are you just going to stand there and gawk?" I ask him
"Oh sorry! It's just- you look amazing" he says with a big smile
I return the smile to him
"Why thank you! You don't look to bad yourself there spidey boy" I say
"It's Spider-Man" he corrects me
I walk over to him and kiss his cheek
"Whatever you think" I say as I climb out the window

Peter swings me around and I ended up giving him a small ride by using my powers to fly us both. We were being kids again, in a world where we had to grow up way too fast.
For the rest of the night we talk and laugh having the time of our lives. Maybe this whole thing won't be to bad
