Chapter 52: Awkward and Unwanted

*1 week later*

*Still Peter's POV*

I release a deep breath, looking up at the Tower. Okay, Parker, you go this. They're your friends, nothing to worry about. I shake out my hands and crack my neck before walking into the building. I hold onto the duffle bag strap on my shoulder as I walk up to the front desk.

"Mr. Parker!" The young women says enthusiastically.

"Hi Jenny."

"Here to see Mr. Stark again? Another invention of yours in that bag?"

"Yup, hoping he can help me with a little something for school." Really, it's just my suit and some more clothes. God I hate lying.

"Got your pass?" The perky receptionist asks. I present it to her and she buzzes me in. I walk past the security guards, giving them a wave. "Bye Peter!" Jenny shouts after me. I wave at her too before entering the elevator.

I bounce on the balls of my feet, blowing out another breath. All too soon, the doors pull open to the 83rd floor. I don't see anyone right away, but as soon as I step out of the elevator, I'm swept into a bone crushing hug.

"Spider Man!"

"Hey, Thor," I say, strenuously, "nice to see you too, buddy." I pat his arm before he drops me back to the floor.

"We must alert the others, they'll be so happy you're back!" Thor says clamping a hand on my shoulder.

"Um, yeah, sounds good." I say moving to the couches and dropping my things there. "Have you seen Clint?" I ask.

"Peter? You're back." I turn to see just who I was looking for exiting the elevator. "Thor, why don't you go get the others?" Clint suggests walking towards me. Thor nods before entering the elevator. I stay by the couches, looking at my hands. "Well I suggest you hurry up and ask before everyone else gets here." Clint breaks the silence.

I look up at him, furrowing my brows. "Ask what?"

"If I told them," He says nonchalantly.

"Did you?" I rush.

"Nope."

I look at him quizzically. "Why?"

"It's your business Peter. You've got plenty of explaining to do, plus you'll tell us eventually."

I breath a sigh of relief, "Thanks man."

"That doesn't mean we won't talk about it later." Clint says, pointing a finger at me. I nod, ringing my hands together. This is going to be so embarrassing, not to mention i have to talk about Wade with Clint. Out of all the awkward situations I've found myself in, that was the worse.

*Flashback to the other night*

"Heeeeyyy Clint..."

He takes a sip from the straw in his cup. Wade takes a step back, keeping his head down and out of the light. Clint smacks his lips, "So, what's up? Who's your friend here?"

"Uh, well, he's just, it's not, I mean we-"

"Breathe." Wade interrupts my rushed stuttering. I inhale a breath, closing my mouth. "He ther Katniss, how's it hanging?" Wade says breaking the silence. From what he's told me, Wade and Clint have had a few run in's. Wade slings his arm around Clint's shoulders.

"Jade's already beaten you to that one, Wilson."

"Alright Legolas, sounds like I've got to meet this girl."
