Peter and Ned were strolling to their second period when Peter heard 2 males behind them. He heard them and whipped his head around.

'Crap. Come on, come on, come on.' Ned looked at Peter so confused. 'Why?'

'That's one of the guys that tried to kill me.'

'What?We gotta get out of here.'

'No, no, no. I gotta follow them. They can lead me to the guy that dropped me in the lake.'

'Someone dropped you in a lake?'

'Yeah, it was not good.' Peter was not going to tell him about his dad saving him. That was embarrassing to say the least. 'Stay there, Ned.'

Peter followed the pair back downstairs into the workshop, 'can you imagine what the boss would say if he knew where we were?'

'It's saying there was an energy pulse here.'

'There's no sign of the weapon.'

Peter was trying to sneak around but the stools were shaky at the best of times and he ended up making one of them shake. He quickly got under the table and latched onto the bottom of it, regretting his decision already as him stained his sleeve. But he avoided getting spotted by one of the guys. One-Zero to Peter.

The guy just continued talking. 'And even if it was here, now it's gone.'

As they left, Peter put a tracker on one of the guys shoes and waited for 5 minutes before coming off the table and joining back with Ned, late for class.

As they ran-walked to class, Peter Asked, 'so I'm going to Patrol for about an hour, then meet you at my house?'

'Why?'

'I've got a surprise.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ned sat on Peter's bed, gobsmacked at the tracker.

'This is so awesome.'

'I know, right? They're in Brooklyn.'

'Look they're moving?'

Peter turned to Ned from his position on the roof. 'Wanna stay for a sleepover as we track bad guys?'

'That sounds so awesome!'

They started watching Star Wars episode 4, 'Staten Island.'

Then Ned got bored after 2 hours and tried on the mask, 'Leaving Jersey.'

Another hour later. 'They stopped.'

'Maryland?'

'What's there?'

'I don't know. Evil lair?'

Ned turned to Peter in excitement. 'They have a lair?'

'A gang with alien guns... ...run by a guy with wings? Yeah.'

'Badass. But how are you gonna get there if it's, like, 300 miles away?'

Peter spun on the web he was hanging on upside down from the ceiling. He thinks better that way. His eyes landed on the decathlon poster. 'It's not too far from D.C.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Hey, it's Peter.' 'Peter?' 'Hey, buddy.'

Peter tugged nervously on his sleeve. 'I was hoping I could rejoin the team.'

Flash strode up to him. 'No, no way. You can't quit on us... stroll up and be welcomed back by everyone.'

His teacher who runs the decathlon team came out of the bus after talking to the driver. 'Hey, welcome back! Flash, you're back to first alternate.'
