Spiderman and Starks Daughter

No Powers Allowed

(Veronica's POV)

Peter and I began to walk to his favorite sandwich shop from school. 

My bag was really heavy. I had so many books in it that it felt like I was carrying an elephant. 

Peter looked over at me, "Do you want me to carry your backpack?" He asked. 

I didn't want to seem weak, but my backpack was really heavy, and besides how often does a guy offer to carry your bag for you in this day in age?

He could tell I was hesitant, "I really don't mind." He said with a smile. 

So I caved, and gave him my bag which he took with great ease. I guess that carrying heavy things is a breeze when you have super strength. 

"So are you thinking of doing any school activities?" He asked.

"Um, I don't know. Lily said I should try out for the cheerleading squad, but I don't really think that's my thing." I said.

"Why not? I'm sure you'd be great at cheerleading. Plus you'd look good in a cheerleading uniform." He stated with a little smirk.

I giggled, "Oh my god, Peter. You are such a boy." I stated rolling my eyes. 

He just smiled at me and we kept walking. 

"Do you play any sports?" I asked.

"No. I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because I wasn't very good at sports before I became Spiderman, and it wouldn't be fair if I played a sport now and was really good at it."

"Wow, that's really mature of you."

"Thanks. I mean it sucks, but it's the right thing to do."

"Ya."

We finally got to the sandwich shop. It was kind of blown up, Peter had explained that the evil weapons dealers sorta blew it up a few weeks ago, but it was still and really cute little shop. We ordered a sandwich to split and played with this really cute cat as we waited for our sandwich. 

It came out about 5 minutes later so we thanked the owner and walked out of the shop. 

"Come on, my apartments this way." Peter said as he turned and started jogging backwards.

I decided I was going to race him, so I started running in the direction he was pointing. He took my challenge and we ran all the way to his apartment. I won, but he had defiantly let me win.

When we walked into his apartment his Aunt May was there. "Peter it's your turn to take out the trash!" She called out as she walked into the living room. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me. Clearly shocked she said, "Hi, I'm May. Peter's Aunt."

"Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Veronica."

"Um... how do you know Peter? From his internship with your dad?" She asked. Yep she defiantly already knew who I was, but I was very used to people knowing who I am even when I don't know who they are.

"No actually she's a new student at Midtown High School." Peter cut in. "And we're doing a project together, so I invited her over to work on it. Is that ok?"

"Ya! Of course it is!" May said. She seemed like a really nice Aunt.

"Alright. Thanks, we'll be in my room." Peter said and he started to lead me into his room.

His room was actually really cool. He had all these cool gadgety things that from the looks of it he had made himself, he had a couple of paintings on the walls, and a few lego structures. Haha, good god, he was such a dork.
