Peter was getting tired of climbing on top of cars to get to where the debate was and Izzy offered for him to hold on to her while she super sped there. And it was much faster than jumping from car to car. Peter had been trying to call Ned to warn him, but it took awhile before Ned finally answered the call. They managed to get to the Monument faster than what Peter had been doing with Izzy's super speed. Izzy suggested that she will meet up with the gang and make up some excuse for them to cover for them more and try to warn Ned. Peter had finally gotten him to answer, but Liz interrupted worriedly asking about him and Izzy.
Izzy felt really guilty about missing the Decathlon, but it was for a good reason. She and Peter just couldn't tell anyone. She pressed a button on her watch, making the suit disappear and show her regular outfit. She managed to catch up with the group inside the monument. "Izzy!" Liz calls out, looking and sounding relieved at seeing her. "There you are, where have you been? Are you okay? Where's Peter?"
Flash narrows his eyes at her. "Yeah, you guys missed the whole thing! We won without your help by the way." He bragged and crossed his arms over his chest with a smirk on his face.
Ned rolls his eyes, looking at Izzy with annoyance. "He didn't answer a single question."
Izzy chuckles, not surprised to hear that. Flash sends an annoyed look to Ned before looking back at Izzy. Flash looks around her noticing that Peter was missing. "And where's Peter? Was he so embarrassed that he missed it that he couldn't even show up here?" He asked, chuckling.
"What? No." Izzy shakes her head, her tone defensive. "I, uh, I got sick last night and Peter helped take care of me. I'm just now finally feeling better than last night. And, um, Peter overslept this morning since he was up all night studying and helping me out and he got late and now he's lost. But I told him where we were, so, uh, he should be here soon. It just might be a bit longer. That's all. Cut him some slack."
Ned rolls his eyes at Flash's attitude. "Yeah, Flash, Peter's a good guy. Lay off."
Flash huffed but backed off, still looking annoyed. Izzy took a deep breath, relieved to have bought some time. "Izzy, seriously, you had us worried," Liz said, stepping closer with a concerned expression. "I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm sorry, we had no idea you were sick. I could've come and helped you or sent someone over."
"Nah, it's fine, Liz. We had it handled," Izzy reassures her with a small smile. "Peter did a great job helping me. Thanks for worrying about me, though. It's much appreciated."
Liz gives her a reassuring smile. "Anytime, Izzy. I'm just glad you're feeling better now. Let me know if you need anything, okay?"
"Will do. Thank you. And listen, we both feel horrible for missing the Decathlon, but it was necessary. I hope you can understand." Izzy told her sincerely.
"I can, but it was still disappointing," Liz sighs, shaking her head. "Though don't worry about it. It's just a competition. I'm sure we'll have many more chances." She reassured her with a kind smile.
