It's Monday afternoon and the day has been going by slowly. During lunch, Peter had told Mj and Ned about his last night encounter and his today's hell.

"Come on, it won't be that bad. They're the Avengers!" Ned points out.

"Who wants to know Peters identity and are trying to be slick with it" Mj argues.

"But Tony said it's up to you if you reveal your identity or not" Ned recalls.

"Yes but he could be lying. I'll find out tonight" Peter shrugs.

"Can you get me their signatures?" Ned asks with pleading eyes.

Peter just raises an eyebrow and gives him a look.

"If you do that for him, get me Natasha's and Peppers" Mj practically demands.

"I'll see how tonight goes" Peter responds with, not promising them.

He would totally do it but it also depends. Maybe he can even do it just to piss them off and say how it might help him lean towards a yes.

"Want Nickys too? I'm making Tony invite him" Peter asks.

"Yes!" Ned almost shouts.

"No" Mj denies.

"You know, if I do this signature thing...I'll get them to write one for Karen and Foggy too. It'll piss Wade off and Matt will probably care some what" Peter shrugs.

He pulls out his phone while Ned is excitedly chatting away to ask Karen and Foggy whose signatures they want.

Foggy ends up saying all which surprises Peter a little. That shock only lasts a second before Foggy texts 'besides Stark.'  Foggy doesn't like Tony either. Him, Team Red, and Karen all say 'eat the rich.' Karen only wants Natasha's, Peppers, and Buckys which doesn't really surprise him at all. She has a thing for men like Bucky, take Frank Castle for an example.

"What do you think the Avengers are going to have?" Ned wonders breaking Peter from his thoughts.

"Takeout" Peter shrugs.

"Or food from the garbage, won't be surprised" Mj responds.

"Yeah, I think I saw them eating in a dumpster before in a dark alley" Peter nods.

"Really?" Ned questions.

"No" Peter assures his friend.

It's now well past after school and Academic Decathlon practice is about to end. Peter won't have time to patrol before the Avengers dinner but it's fine because he still has afterwards.

"Before you all go, I need to tell you all something" Mr. Harrington says, stopping them from grabbing their bags and leaving.

"Are you retiring?" Charles wonders.

"Are you getting fired?" Abe asks.

"No and no" Mr. Harrington quickly assures.

"Good, we don't want you to leave Mr. Harrington" Abe smiles.

"Wait, so what's the news?" Betty questions.

"I'm going to be out for the rest of the week starting Wednesday and next week for...personal reasons and you guys cannot technically have practice here without me. So what I'm asking is, if you guys will please practice at one of your houses after school. Mj, I would expect as the team captain that you make sure this happens?" Mr. Harrington asks, turning to her.

"Of course. You guys will come to my house Wednesday but then the next day, it'll be someone else's house. We will rotate and no one is allowed to skip their house" Mj declares.
