VIOLET KNIGHT 》 PETER PARKER [1]

normal. [3.2]

"You're as gay as a double rainbow."

______________________

It had been a whole month since Jaquie was arrested and the drug ring was taken down. It had been a whole month since Cora put on her suit. She had decided to take a break from crime and nights with New York City, she needed to have a normal life for a while.

Penny and her Dad had gone back to normal, and John apologised endlessly for ever letting Jaquie set foot back into their house. Penny was back to her hyper, upbeat self. Making quips at Cora, making fun of her whenever she hung out with Peter, and gossiping with her other grade 2 friends about who like-likes who. (Hint: Penny totally likes a boy named Kyle, but she'll never admit it.)

Peter had returned back to his normal. His normal was studying physical sciences in his spare time, reading his books, building Lego with Ned, and yes, being Spider-Man. His normal also now consisted on hanging out with Cora quite a bit, and earning disapproving looks from Michelle if she saw the two together. Peter could accept that, she was just being regular Michelle. That was Peter's normal.

Cora had kept the suit Tony gave her, but kept it neatly folded and in her backpack with her. Sure, she may not go out as Violet 3 or 4 nights a week, but if she needed it, then she would have it. Tony told her that he wanted her to be working with him in the labs, after noticing her fascination when planning Peter's rescue plan. She took him up on it, and found herself there nearly every weekend, working with Tony for the fun of it. She focused on the chemistry he had in the lab, and used his tech for her little experiments. She absolutely loved it.

Cora's normal was hanging out with Peter, Ned and Michelle. Her normal was going home and doing her homework, while also helping Penny with her own, and going to Stark HQ on the weekends to mess with the lab. That was her normal.

In the past month, the one year anniversary of Peter's Uncle Ben's death. Cora had been there to hold him for the day. He cried, and said he missed him about 1000 times. She had just held him, let him cry, rant, whatever he needed to do. She was there for him.

3 days after that was Cora's 16th birthday. She hung out with Michelle, Peter, and invited Ned along too. They had gone to Cookie Cafè, that seemed like their place now, and hung out at her house, making jokes to each other about the other person, most of the time picking on Peter.

In terms of Cora and Peter, they still weren't official. They still hadn't even gone on the date that Cora promised, but Peter never brought it up. He wanted to give her time. He knew she still liked him, and he liked her, it would just take some time, and Peter could try to wait.
