Back To You // Homecoming

5| Tracking the Bad Guys

After El had landed in the yard, the chase went on for Peter. Until this man with wings and glowing green eyes flew out of nowhere, swooping him off the van. Peter pressed his parachute button, causing it to go off and escape from the man. But it all backfired once Peter got caught in the parachute causing him to fall into the water and nearly drown. Thankfully Tony had showed up, saving Peter thanks to El. The two had a talk, it had mainly been Peter trying to explain to Tony how he was ready for more than what he was doing and how he wanted to take on the guy with the wings. Sadly, Tony didn't listen to him, he tried to explain to Peter how he was fine doing what he was doing now but Peter disagreed with him. Now, Peter was walking back towards El with a slight pout on his lips. He noticed her kneeling down on the ground, with a piece from the gun in her hand.

"What's that?" Peter asked, earning El's attention. He kneeled down next to her, taking the piece into his hands.

"Look at this." El states, flipping the piece over to show him the glowing purple object that was in the piece. His eyes widened as he looked down at it, he had never seen a thing like this. The yodels from earlier went off once again, making El jump. Peter chuckles a bit, earning a glare from El as he reaches into his pocket pulling out his phone. Ned had been calling him. A sigh escapes from Peter as he answers the phone, putting it on speaker.

"Hey man, what's up? We're heading on our way back." Peter quickly explained, handing El back the piece.

"Actually I was calling to say maybe you shouldn't come, cause of this..."

Ned paused, allowing the two to hear what was going on in the background.

"When I say 'Penis', you say 'Parker'! Penis!"

"Parker!"

"Penis!"

"Parker!"

El rolls her eyes, knowing that it was Flash that was saying this. Peter sighs, looking over at El who only shrugged her shoulders.

"Sorry Peter." Ned spoke. "Looks like we're still losers. See you guys tomorrow."

El sighs, watching as Peter hung up the call, putting his phone back in his pocket. He took the piece again, observing the purple object.

"I can make Flash trip tomorrow." El suggested, shrugging her shoulders. "If you want me to."

Peter chuckles, lightly shaking his head. "It's fine, I've gotten used to it."

El pouts, looking back down at the glowing object. "What do you think it is?"

A shrug comes from Peter as he stands back up. He didn't know what it was, but he was determined to find out. "We'll find out in school."

Loud bangs came from Peter as he smashed the piece from the gun with a hammer. El kept flinching, scared that it was going to somehow exploded due to Peter continuously banging on it. She backed herself up, watching as the object glowed even more. Peter slowly leaned in, taking off a small piece from it.

"Hey, thanks for bailing on me you guys." Ned spoke, interrupting the silence that was between the two.

El grabbed a wrench, using it to try to pull out the glowing object. "Something came up." Peter explains, pointing down at the gun piece as El tries to destroy it. A groan escapes from El's lips as she tries to destroy it.

"This would've been a lot easier if I could use my powers." El explained through gritted teeth as she glared at Peter. "I don't see why we didn't do this at my apartment."

Peter rolled his eyes, taking the wrench from El and beginning to do the same thing she had been doing. Ned's eyes widened as he looked down at the gun piece, observing it closely.
