"Go! They have priority over I do. Go woo your girl."
Washington Monument, Washington DC, October 2016-
"Peter?" Ned whispered over the phone. "You haven't answered my question yet." He pulled the phone up further on his shoulder. Ned's confidence hat was pushed up as he adjusted the phone.
"I-uh-" Peter searched for the right words on what to say. "It's a really long story, one that I really don't have the time for. Ned, you need to listen to me," The sounds heard through Peter's phone was one of rushing highways and cars whizzing past, signifying that the superhero was hitch-hiking on a car.
"No! Answer me first? Where were you during the competition!? You were so lucky that we still won!" Ned sighed, walking towards the metal detector.
Liz looked over at Alison. "Should I go take the phone from Ned and scold Peter? Right now seems like the perfect time." She quirked an eyebrow, turning to Ali.
"I say we scold him together. Later. I have a few words to tell the kid himself." Alison crossed her arms, looking a slight bit firm. "More like a lot of words." She mumbled under her breath, looking up at the monument.
Seeing her friend look up at the historical monument, Liz couldn't help but do the same. "It's pretty big, huh?"
"Yeah." Alison nodded, still in awe at the shining creme white monument. "Let's go inside and take a peek, shall we?"
Over at the metal scanner, the guards were trying to get Ned to put his phone down on the belt. "Ned, listen to me!" Peter exclaimed through the phone, "You can't put the purple stone in there, it's gonna turn into-"
"Listen," Ned started pulling the phone away, "I've gotta go through security and the X-Ray, so I'll pick up the phone in a second." He placed the phone tenderly on the belt, and walked through the security metal scanner.
"No, Ned no! Listen to me!" Peter sighed, exasperated through the phone. But it was too late, as the backpack with the Chitauri core was already being exposed to radiation.
The backpack, one pocket already glowing purple, slowly drifted through the X Ray machine, glitching the whole device out. The screens that showed the contents of the bags glitches in and out for a second, before going back to normal.
Grabbing the bag, Ned walked out of the metal scanner and walked towards the rest of the group. "Come on!" He exclaimed, looking at the two girls and the teacher. "Our tour starts in ten!"
