Meant To Be >>>Spiderman/Silk (1)

Chapter Eight: The Ferry

"You aren't trained to be a hero."

------

When Riley a.k.a. Silk finally arrived at the Ferry scene, her heart dropped. The entire ship was ripping in two. And Ferry's aren't small.

She could see Peter in the middle, practically ripping himself in two, as he tried to keep it together by tying the beams together with his webs. And it worked. Until he forgot to attach one beam and everything got worse than before. She webbed up the beams and helped him hold them in place. Peter noticed her, but was too busy to stop and talk.

Luckily, Tony got there in time to weld everything together, and keep everyone safe.

Riley tried to catch up to Peter, but people got in the way, and plus, he was already moving too quickly, trying to apologize to Tony.

"Are you alright? It's okay, you're safe." Silk announced to the people.

She ran outside on the Ferry and saw Tony flying away, and Peter sitting on the top of the Ferry, watching him fly away. He groaned and sat down.

Riley figured out that the Ferry was headed back towards land, and waited on talking to Peter. She knew what was coming. Uncle Tony was not happy with either of them.

Riley saw him swing away from the boat and onto a building near. She swung after him, but tried to stay away.

But her plan failed when Peter caught her in his eye. "Silk!" He turned and he waved her up. She went up. He smiled weakly at her. "I have so much I want to talk to you and ask you about but I can't think of anything but Mr. Stark right now." Riley nodded. "I'm in so much trouble." Riley nodded again. "Will you come with me?" She nodded once more.

"Yeah, I have a feeling I'm in trouble too."

"Why?"

"Because once I heard you were here, I raced over without even thinking, and Uncle Tony didn't like that." Peter nodded understandingly.

He groaned, "I just can't help but to be mad at him, you know? If he had just listened to me, he could've stopped Vulture. But he never listened." Riley put a hand on his shoulder, understanding. "He never listens to me."

They both sat at the edge of the rooftop, waiting for Mr. Stark.

The all too familiar buzz and whoosh came, and Tony's voice. "Previously on Peter Screws The Pooch, I told you to stay away from this instead you hacked a multi-million dollar suit so you can sneak around my back and do the one thing I told you not to do. And don't think I forgot about Riley."

Peter looked down at the water, "Is everyone okay?"

"No thanks to you." Oh he is mad.

Peter looked back at Tony, hurt, "No thanks to me?" He swung around and hopped off the edge, "those weapons were out there and I tried to tell you about it, but you didn't listen. None of this would've happened if you had just listened to me!" Riley hopped down and stood back, watching them carefully. "If you even cared, you'd actually be here."

The suit opened to reveal a very angry Tony Stark, and he stepped towards Peter, which made Peter step back, surprised. Tony sniffed angrily, "I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI huh?" He huffed, "Do you know I was the only one who believed in you, everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14 year old kid."

"I'm 15." Peter corrected.

"No, this is where you zip it! Alright, the adult is talking!" Riley jumped, this is the first time she heard him yell, "what if somebody had died tonight? What if she had died tonight?" He gestured to Riley, "different story, right? That's on you. And if you died, that's on me. I don't need that on my conscience."
