An Iron Fist for an Iron Maiden (A Danny Rand Fan Fic)

Chapter twelve: Lying by omission

Chapter twelve: Joy 

Somehow, I found  the energy to get up in the morning, despite the fact that I had supervillains after me, even through in a week, nothing had happened. I still half expected the helicarrier to be hovering outside my window. 

It wasn't. In fact the sky was perfectly clear. There wasn't even a Spiderman swinging around. 

"Joy, Dad wants to know if you're up for going to school today. Something about understand if you were afraid of Stark and his army attacking you again." I rolled my eyes. 

"No, I'll head to school. I have a giant test in history." Harry nodded and shut the door. Groaning, I rolled out of the bed. Stark and his army. The Avengers weren't an army. That's like calling the police force an army. Right? 

My phone began to vibrate on my nightstand, but I ignored it. I knew it was just Dan, Sam and or Peter checking up on me. Since Harry and Peter were closer than close as friends, Pete quickly became like a brother to me. Well, when he was around anyway. 

Grabbing a green shirt and a pair of black jeans, I decided to finally stop torturing the poor boys and pick up. I could hear Peter ranting about how worried he was. He's overprotective like that. 

Hero boy (Sam): you coming today? I have something for you....don't worry, I'll protect you!! ;) 

His name starts with D (Dan): Good morning Joy. I was curious to know if you were coming to school today. I know you must be freaked out about that villain attacking you

Pete: You coming to school today? 

Pete: well, are you?!

Pete: Fine don't answer me

Pete: Joy? Are you still asleep? 

Pete: How is Harry awake and you're not? 

Pete: Wait are you ignoring me?! 

Pete: I'll just ask Harry.

Pete: Harry said you're going to school, so why aren't you answering me?! 

Pete: JOY!! 

Rolling my eyes, I quickly sent all three of them an answer. My phone vibrated soon after, but I again ignored it. How do they expect me to get to school if they keep bugging me with stupid text messages? 

"Joy hurry up!!" 

"Coming Harry!!" I called, grabbing my bag and running down the stairs. Breakfast was sitting on the table, and Mis..Dad was there as well. 

"Good morning my dear. Harry." 

"Dad, I was wondering if Peter could come over after school?" Harry didn't waste any time grabbing as much food as he could. Obviously he left stuff for me, but sometimes I would like first grabs to breakfast. 

"Of course Harry, you know Mister Parker is always welcome. Joy do you have any plans after school today?" I shook my head. 

"No actually. I'll text you if something comes up through." Dad nodded with an approving smile. 

"I would appreciate that very much." 

"Text mephf too." Harry mumbled, his mouth full with pancake and eggs. Shuddering I nodded. 

"Sure Harry. Just...chew with your mouth closed and don't talk with it full please." 

"Yes Mom." He said, rolling his eyes. 

"Play nice you two." Dad said from behind his newspaper. Not surprisingly, Spiderman was on the front page. Doesn't J. Johan Jameson have anything better to do? Like cover elections or something?
