"El this won't work."

"Yes it will, stop being a chicken."

"I'm not a chicken!" Peter exclaimed, glaring at El as she chuckled. He crossed his arms over his chest, still glaring at her. "You're rude."

El pouted, pinching both of Peter's cheeks. "Is my poor baby mad?" She asked in a baby voice.

Peter pushed her hands off his cheeks and continued to glare at her. "Eleanora Hope Stark," He said sternly, holding her wrists. "This won't work, he's not that gullible."

The young girls glared at the boy, twisting his wrists to where she was grabbing them. "Watch this." She whispers, letting go of his wrists and pulling her phone out her pocket. She had an audio of Tony saying "I give El permission" from a while back. She walked away from Peter with her phone out, ready to use it. A groan escapes from Peter as he quickly chases after her.

"Hey, it's El and Peter."

Peter caught up with El, walking by her side as the two made their way towards the bus. "I was hoping I could rejoin the team, Mr. Stark said I could go, but I have to bring El along just in case something goes down she's could bring me back."

Flash immediately steps up, shaking his head. "No, no way. You can't quit on us... stroll up with your girlfriend and be welcomed back."

The two furrowed their eyebrows together, glancing at each other. "We're not dating." They said in sync, quickly shaking their heads.

"Hey, welcome back!" The teacher speaks, walking off the bus. "And you brought El?"

Peter turns his head, nodding his head. "M-Mr. Stark said she had to come along just in case something went down and I needed to get back." He explains, scared that he wouldn't believe him.

The teacher furrows his eyebrows, looking over at El. "Is this true?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

El nods her head, with a small smile planted on her face. "Yes." She answers, hoping that she won't have to use an audio. He furrowed his eyebrows together before shrugging his shoulders.

"You'll have to share the room with Peter and Ned." He explains. "Let's get on the bus."

El's eyes widened as her mouth dropped open. He actually believed them. She turns her head towards Peter who had been looking at her with the same reaction. Their mouths quickly turned into smiles as they high-five each other.

"We did it!" El whispered exclaimed, rubbing a hand through her hair in shock.

Peter nods his head, the smile still visible. "I can't believe that actually worked." He spoke in disbelief. The two climbed onto the bus, still shocked about how the teacher believed the two.  Mj took a seat behind El and Peter, glaring at them. She had begin the grow a bit jealous that Peter had all her attention. El noticed her glaring at them, she placed her backpack next to Peter, looking down at him as he took a seat.

"Imma go talk with Mj." She explains. "I'll be back."

Peter nods his head, watching as El walked towards Mj, taking a seat next to her. He noticed Mj glaring at him, causing him to furrow his eyebrows together. She turned her head towards El, the glare immediately disappearing.

"What's wrong?" El asks, furrowing her eyebrows at Mj.

Mj shrugs her shoulders, opening up get book so she could read. "Nothing." She shrugged her shoulders. "I was just thinking that maybe you and Peter still like each other."

A gasp escapes from El, looking at Peter who had been practicing with his teammates. "That's false." She scoffs. "He's like my best friend."

"But I thought I was." Mj thinned her lips out, raising and eyebrow.
