Delaney heads to the locker room and gets changed. She fixes her ponytail as she walks to to gym class.

Today was starting a new unit in gym. Delaney being new, didn't know what they would do but Peter fills her in. "It's basically "Captain America training" where we do a bunch of exercises and the teacher tracks how good we do." She nods to show she understands and they sit together on the bleachers. The teacher pushes in a cart with the tv and sets it up. Taking a sip from her bottle the screen turns on.
"Hi, I'm Captain America"
Delaney immediately chokes on her water.
Before the civil war and she was still adjusting to living with Tony, he used to hang out at the mansion all the time. Seeing him in a corny, skit-like video for her school was so out of character for Steve, it was hilarious.
"I can't believe Steve actually did this." She whispers to herself as she continues. She focuses on the video as Peter and Ned talk. The video fades as it finishes and the gym teacher turns off the tv.
"Thanks Captain America. Now for this unit we will be doing some training our friend Cap did. We will do some push ups, pull ups, laps, and a little obstacle course the PE team has put together. Alright, everyone stretch! We'll start in two minutes."
The bunch break apart to stretch on the gym floor. Delaney makes her way behind Peter and Ned who were still talking about something she couldn't hear. After she stretches, the coach blows the whistle to start the training.
"Okay. Partner up! We will start with push ups. Make sure you keep track of your partners score. Begin... now!" He blows the whistle again and they begin.
Unfortunately, Flash was the last choice left, but she ignored it and just simply asked if he could make sure to continue to keep track. For Delaney, this was all easy because she was used to this from training. She starts her push ups and could feel his eyes on her. "Slow down, I can barley count!" He chuckles as she immediately slows down. 48,49,50. She decides to stop and sits back up with the gym teacher and Flash wide eyed. "Uhhh great job um" "Delaney." "Yes, Delaney." The teacher blows the whistle a few moments later. "Time for your partner to start push ups. Begin!"
Since Flash doesn't have super strength and abilities like Delaney, he could only complete less than half the amount. As the training continues, so do Ned and Peter.
As Ned babbles while he does his fitness, Peter is busy watching Delaney. She was doing sit ups as flash held down her feet. They seemed to be talking but even with Peter's super hearing, the voices of the numerous students around them blocks what they were saying. "Peter, you with me?"
He shakes his head and focuses back on Ned. "Sorry, did you say something?" His face becomes a shade of pink as Ned gives him a look. As he plays dumb, Ned drops it and moves on.
At the end, Delaney was in second place with only a few points less than one of the seniors who was on the track team. She decided not to try her regular because people would be curious. She pretends to be exhausted from the class and walks over to the fountain as some people start to converse on the bleachers.
"You do have a crush on Spider-Man!" A girl says. Delaney tryna to find the source and sees it was the group. The girl turned out to be talking to Liz and she shrugged. "Peter knows Spider-Man!"
"Is that true?"
"Uh yeah. It is. I have. A Stark internship and sometimes see him."
Hmm, he's lying, Delaney thought. Is he hiding something?
