"Stupid Peter...what the hell does he know..." you muttered angrily, stomping down the steps of the library to the sidewalk. You'd just spent an extra two hours studying for the next chemistry test, since the last one you received a two percent lower grade than your academic rival; Peter Parker. The competition between you two had been growing since freshman year, and the top of the class had been constantly swaying between you two.
You had to walk home from the public library, and despite it being late and in New York City, you were pissed enough to kick anyone's ass. The competition was admittedly frustrating, but it did pushed you to be better. You had offers from several prestigious universities around the country, and you were planning on rubbing that in Peter's face, but something got in the way of that. In chemistry today, you saw a very top secret looking folder peeking out of his backpack. With the name Stark printed across the top. After all that work the past four years, it just ends with him getting an offer from Tony freaking Stark? Not fair. Not fair whatsoever.
You continued home, thinking angrily, when a crash sounded down the alley next to you. Effectively scared shitless, you looked to your right and saw a trashcan clattering to a stop at the dead end of the alley. You contemplated running, or checking it out, but seeing a foot sticking out from behind a dumpster, curiosity persuaded you to choose the latter. Trying to keep your footsteps as quiet as you could, you checked your surroundings and walked into the alley. You held your breath, not sure what to expect, but you certainly didn't expect Spider-Man unconscious on the ground.
Releasing the breath you were holding, you stood in awe that you were actually standing before a "superhero." A superhero that was still unconscious, and looked like he was bleeding from a gash in his side. You knelt beside him, hesitantly reaching to shake his shoulder.
"Hey...hey uh S-Spider-Man..." you called out uncertainly, not knowing if you should call him that. Despite your shaking and speaking, he seemed to be out cold. You sighed, starting to get worried about him, or her for all you knew. Spider-Man kept their true identity a secret, but just looking at them, it was safe to assume it was a 'he'. And after all... Spider-Man. Even still, you had to get a look of his face.
You reached for the bottom of the mask, carefully pulling it up, but you jerked back when the mask revealed his face. None other than Peter Parker's incapacitated features stared back at you with a streak of blood from a cut above his eyebrow. "Well I'll be damned..." you muttered, assessing the situation and trying to think what to do. His side was still bleeding and if he really did fall, he probably had broken bones.
You sighed in frustration at the situation and tried to rack your brain. You had no idea where he lived, and you knew he didn't want to jeopardize his identity by going to a hospital. And you weren't too keen on stripping your academic nemesis and bringing him in. Then an idea hit you. You did know somewhere in the city, and close by to top it off, that you could take him.
You hooked an arm under his to support his lower back and grabbed his arm that was slung over your shoulder for a more secure grip. Then, you stumbled out of the alleyway. Walking and supporting a teenage boy was harder than it seemed. Even after walking just a few blocks, you were already getting tired. You looked down at Peter's face as you walked, and you actually admired how he kept his grades up while saving people.
Luckily, the building you were searching for was only two or three blocks ahead of you. You sighed in relief, picking up the pace a bit to get him some help. I mean to get the burden of helping him off you...
You now stood in front of the door to the Stark Tower, which to your dismay (but not surprise) was locked. You used your free hand to knock on the door, hoping someone would hear you in the vast building. "Hello!? Anyone there!?"
"Hello," an automated Irish voice sounded above you, making you jump. "Who are you?" You looked up and around, trying to see who was asking.
"Uh, Y/N Y/L/N? This is Peter Parker he uh... I think Tony Stark knows him and he's hurt so I...I didn't know what else to do, so I brought him here..." you explained, honestly sounding a bit ridiculous. There was some silence on the other end, and you grew a bit on edge.
Then, you heard the door unlocked. "Mr. Stark is on the twelfth floor if you take the elevator straight ahead," the voice said as you cautiously walked through the doors. You tiptoed to the elevator as suggested, a bit nervous in the dark and abandoned lobby. Once inside the elevator, you were relieved that you could lean Peter against the wall and stretch out your arm.
Each floor the elevator went up, the more nerve racking the situation became. This looked...bad, to say the least. An unconscious hero in the arms of a stranger, well not stranger. Someone who has been competing with him for years, doesn't exactly had a good vibe.
The elevator dinged open and you were greeted by a vacant and dark floor. Some city light was pouring in through the windows, but as you walked hesitantly into the room with Peter slung over your right shoulder, you couldn't see anything. Still, you had a feeling you weren't alone.
Then, a footstep somewhere behind you confirmed your suspicion. Suddenly, the lights flicked on and you were surrounded by four of the most famous superheroes in casual attire. You froze in shock, and fear since there was some weapons pointed at you.
"What'd you do to Spider-Boy?" one of them, Hawkeye by your recollection of the local news, asked sternly.
"He was unconscious when I found him, I swear," you said quickly. This should be interesting...
