I nervously stand in front of Perseus' door. My conversation with Aunt May plays in my head.

"Peter, just ask her. Your point is valid but you're both adults. And you said SHIELD trained her. She probably knows how to work with people who she doesn't like."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." The drinks arrive and we both take a second to drink. "I can just ask her if wants to go on a date or something. Like go for coffee and just talk. I don't know. It can't be that hard."
"Exactly! That's the spirit." I beam at May.


I shake my head. I can do this. I'm freaking Spider-Man.

"Just come in already!" I hear her shout. I furrow my brow. How in the hell did she know I was here? I shake my head again and open her door. She's sitting at her desk, paperwork scattered about.
"How did you know I was out there?" I close the door behind me. I don't want anyone to over hear us.
"I sensed a disturbance in the water molecules around my room." She simply states. Did she just twist a Star Wars quote? She hasn't looked up form her papers. I swallow. "What do you need Peter?" She asks.
"Well, I uh, was wondering if you maybe wanted to, um, go get some coffee sometime or something. Just like the two of us." I wring my hands nervously in front of me.
"Peter," She finally looks up at me. And that's when I notice she's wearing glasses. I don't have the opportunity to ask about it because she starts speaking. "Are you asking me out on a date?" She asks.
"Yes." I answer.

She doesn't do anything or say anything. Just stares at me for a minute. I swear, that's gotta be the longest minute ever. A smile breaks out on her face and I release a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"I would love to go on a date with you." I smile back at her. She stands up. "I know this great place that we can go to." She states. "Let me just change out of this uniform and I'll meet you down in the garage."
"O-Okay." With that I turn and leave the room, closing the door behind me.

I silently fist bump the air. I make a quick stop at my room to grab my wallet. I make sure I have my phone and then make my way to the garage. I'm going on a date!

I only have to wait a couple of minutes before Perseus comes to the garage. She's wearing jeans, a white t-shirt and a dark blue flannel. I'm starting to think blue is her favorite color. He hair is in a braid and she still has her glasses. She smiles when she sees me.

"I haven't seen you wear glasses before." I comment. Perseus reaches up and adjusts them.
"Yeah, I normally wear contacts but my new pack hasn't come in yet so glasses. They just help me read." She shrugs.
"I think you look great in them." Perseus smiles.
"Thank you." Perseus walks over to a cabinet. "Do you mind if we take my motorcycle?" I shake my head then realize she can't see me.
"Nope." I state.
"Good, I haven't rode my baby in a while." She walks back over to me with two black helmets. She puts her helmet on and I do the same. She slides on her motorcycle and I get on behind her. I hesitantly wrap my arms around her waist. "JARVIS open the door." Perseus states. The garage door opens and Perseus revs the bike a bit. "Hold on." She takes off.
