Spring could not come sooner. You were dreadfully tired of the winter cold and snow, and were ready for these next few months to be over. Just yesterday you were in the mall with Peter, Ned, and Flash experiencing crazy things, now you were at school again, dreading the upcoming few days. Right now, January fifth, you were stressing about meeting with your friends due to things that happened yesterday and what the twelfth would hold.

Cindy was talking about how Albert almost brutally murdered her again last night, and you pretended to be listening. You were just worried that something was wrong with Flash, because when you were texting him last night, he seemed...weird. Cindy could most likely tell you weren't paying attention, but that didn't stop her from talking. "Oh, and I have a date with Hector tomorrow night!" She smiled wide.

"That's so awesome, Cin," You smiled at her, speaking quietly. "Natasha is coming back in February right around Valentine's Day for some business. We have to have another girls night...but she is bringing Clint."

"He can be our honorary girl," Cindy laughed. "Completely serious, by the way."

You dropped Cindy off at her classroom, as she needed to get help from a teacher during lunch, and walked towards your locker. Walking up, you spotted Flash going up to Peter and Ned.

"Hey, guys! Sorry we missed you before leaving yesterday, Peter," Flash told the two. "It's a shame you had to go on that important mission."

"Yeah, a drink was very important. Watching Spider-Man really took it out of me," Peter shrugged.

They exchanged an awkward look before Flash spoke again. "Ned, what was wrong with Peter's web shooters? I heard you talking about it outside of the store I was in yesterday before you guys left."

"Oh, nothing. Just got jammed- shit."

"So, you are Spider-Man?" Flash smirked as he looked at Peter.

"Shh!" Peter shushed loudly and waved his hands to get Flash to shut up. "Shh! People will hear you!" Peter rolled his eyes. "You can't tell anyone, please."

Flash shrugged, laughing a little. "I knew something was up with you. So, your Stark internship is actually running around in a red and blue-"

"Will you stop? What do I have to do to get you to shut up?" Peter crossed his arms, then dropped them when he saw you slowly walking up behind Flash. Your eyes were wide, and he knew he messed up. "Hi, (Y/N). Um...how much of that did you hear?"

"By the look on her face, I'm sure she heard all of it," Ned sighed. "You...okay?" He asked you.

You just stood there, staring. "You broke her again, dude, you have to stop doing that," Flash jokingly punched Peter's arm. "Do you want to go for a walk?" Flash asked you.

You nodded to get yourself out of your trance. You waved to the boys and walked away with Flash. As soon as the two of you turned the corner, Peter rested his head against the lockers. "What else can I do wrong, Ned?" Peter sighed. "First, I freak her out by saying her tattoo. Then, I'm just completely awkward non-stop. Now we find out she talks to Flash, and she found out about me! I'm just making things worse day-by-day. She'll never go out with me if I ask," He rambled on.

"Pete, you can't worry like this. You're a good person and I'm sure (Y/N) doesn't hate you for all of that," Ned tried to comfort, but it wasn't really working. "Maybe you just need to talk to her."

"Yeah, yeah, maybe I'll do that," Peter sighed and knocked his head on his locker once more.

Flash and you were sitting in his car for some privacy. He was planning on taking you to lunch, but now the two of you were just sitting and talking.

"I can never escape superheroes. I guess superheroes will surround me my entire life," You laughed a little.

"What do you mean?"

You shrugged. "My dad is Iron Man. I will have SHIELD agents follow me my entire life, no matter if I try to get away. Cindy, too. And now Peter. Are you a superhero too? Is there something you're not telling me?" You crossed your arms and raised your eyebrows at Flash.

"No, no, I'm not a superhero," Flash laughed. "Wait, backtrack. Why was Cindy included on that list?"

"You don't know? I thought everyone did. Once she told me I thought it was completely obvious," You said, not sure how Cindy would react to you telling Flash her secret. Hopefully, she wouldn't kill you.

Flash groaned when he realized you were dragging this out. "What is obvious?"

"That..." You paused and got quieter. "That Cindy's...Silk?"

"Cindy's Silk?" Flash yelled. It was a good thing you two were in the car, because she would have screamed if more than two people knew. "Okay, but now that you say that, it does make sense." Less than a minute later, your phone vibrated with a text from the one and only.

Cin: My Silk sense just went off. What did you do?

"She nearly killed me," You told Happy. "Then nearly killed Flash, because he knew. Then when she realized Flash wouldn't care enough to tell other people, she decided we were allowed to live," You caught him up to speed.

Happy patted your arm and smiled. "I was worried for your safety. I'm glad she came to her senses."

You laughed as the two of you walked into Tony's lab so you could tell your father all about today. Right as you opened your mouth, you saw Peter Parker having a conversation with your dad. "Okay, kid, what's going on? You're talking too fast, and I can't understand a thing you're saying." Tony said.

"(Y/N)'s home," Happy announced.

You watched as a smile grew on Tony's face when he saw you. "Hi, darling. How are you?"

Shrugging, you sat in the bean bag you forced into his office a few years ago. "So, I heard you had an eventful day at school. Thanks to...Flash, Peter, and Ned?" Tony raised his eyebrow. Nodding, you noticed Peter was looking at his fingers and fidgeting with the edge of his shirt.

You didn't reply to your dad. Instead, Peter walked over. "Can we talk? Or, can I talk to you, and you listen?" Peter said and hit his head. "I'm so awkward. I'm sorry," He sighed with a little laugh. "Can we talk?"

Tony and Happy walked out of the room to give the two of you some space. "Honestly, no one knew besides Ned and May. So, it wasn't like I wasn't telling you intentionally- just, no one knew! Flash figured it out because he's nicer and more interested in where I disappear to and-"

You put your hand up to stop Peter from talking. Standing up, you grabbed a whiteboard sitting on one of the desks and started to write.

Do you think I'm mad at you...for being a superhero?

"Maybe? I don't know. I was just worried I shocked you and you were mad at me for keeping secrets," Peter rambled again.

Peter. Why would I be mad at you? We all have secrets. It was just a, well, strange way to find out. I'm fine. Stop freaking out, man.

Peter nodded quickly. "Okay, Okay, I'm good. Are we good? Awesome," He breathed in and out quickly. "I'm not freaking out, I promise."

His phone began to ring. "Hey Ned, what?" He sighed. "You have got to be kidding me," He groaned. "I'll be there," Peter hung up and grabbed his gym bag. "I'll see you tomorrow, (Y/N), have a nice night," He attached something to his wrist, put on his mask, and jumped out of the window.
