2 - This Octopus Guy Thinks I'm Peter's Girlfriend ✉

Your POV

You hear a couple of electrical locks moving from the other side of the door. Happy's condominium on Long Island seemed pretty safe.

The door opens, and a horrible screeching alarm echoes around the house as you walk in. May hurries to switch it off by pressing some buttons on a keypad, and the sound stops.

"Alarm systems, deactivated." The AI in the house said.

"It looks nice and... safe." May looks around,

"Cool." You look around. DUM-E, Tony's robot arm, waved at you. The place was relatively big and clean.

"Welcome to the spiritual oasis. You like Donkey Kong Jr.?" Happy said as he entered.

You wander around the house, still wearing your OISS (Ocean Iron Spider Suit). So you wear a t-shirt, hoodie, and some pants over it. Night was falling quickly. You rush downstairs and see Peter scrubbing at the green slime on his red and black spidey suit.

"Oh, hey Y/n." Peter said, looking relieved to stop.

"Hey." You walk over to him and ruffle his hair. "Is it coming off?"

"No... I'm starting to think this isn't paint." Peter drops the suit back into the sink. 

You watch him turn on the tap and let the warm water soak into the suit again. 

"Are you okay?" 

"Wha- oh yeah, yeah, I-I'm okay. Why do you ask?" Peter tries peeling the paint off his suit to no avail.

"It's just... all that's happened in the past few days is a bit much, I think." You said, observing his face.

He sighs. "I know. But... what else are we gonna do? We can't go back to being the friendly neighborhood spiders."

"I wish. Those were good days." You lean against the counter.

"Yeah. Remember th-that lady? Who gave me the churro last year?" Peter pauses his work and looks at you.

"Oh, right." You chuckle.

"Remember that time you swung into a building?"

"Oh come on, I wasn't paying attention! And it was dark." You playfully punch his arm, to which he winces. 

"Sureeeee."

You pat his back and start heading back upstairs.

"Can you- can you help me with this?" Peter shouted after you.

"Sorry, you've probably tried everything I would've. Maybe ask Aunt May." You shoot finger guns at him and go to the balcony.

༺🕷༻

You lost time of how long you were sitting outside, staring at NYC. It was nice and peaceful here. No people gawking and screaming at you. No annoying helicopters chasing after you. No one here to throw bricks at you. No one knows where you were, and that was fine. Being famous isn't as great as everyone thinks.

Especially when you're framed for killing the 'greatest' hero to ever walk on this earth.

You go back inside after a couple more minutes. It was dark, and downstairs, you could hear Happy, MJ (on the phone), and Peter talking. Aunt May was probably asleep.

Unable to sleep, you go to a quiet room with random supplies and science tools. Maybe storage from Tony Stark? And what did you do with it? You made more web fluid. One fluid could catch onto fire at contact with an object or with air using phosphorus, and another could taser people. Once finished, you put them in your web shooters.
