Protector (Peter Parker)

Tutoring

The next few months were not as eventful as Isabella would have liked. Being on the "junior" Avengers she was used to having at least a little action in her day to day life. So far on this job, she had gym class and that was nothing. 

Peter didn't get into that much trouble, he just went around Queens being the friendly neighborhood spiderman he's always been. Isabella found it a little weird that she was basically stalking him but he had no idea still, so she still doing her job.

Tony had been doing some of her homework and actually packing some of her lunches when he could. He had felt bad that he couldn't officially put her on the team and stuck her with Peter, so he made the best lunches he could. What he didn't know is that she was now sharing these lunches with Ned, Peter, and Michelle. 

They would all sit together, splitting their lunches so they could have actual food and not whatever the cafeteria was trying to pass as food. 

Isabella had grown close to Peter, but had become best friends with Michelle. It was the first time she actually had a friend her age and who was only slightly more sarcastic as she was. 

In school Isabella wasn't doing so hot, and Tony was growing a little impatient with her and decided that she needed a tutor, which she was not happy about. Knowing Tony he was going to have her ask Peter, which is exactly what he did. It was time to ask for help from the very kid she was trying to protect. Isabella tried to get him to change his mind so Michelle could tutor her but he had none of it. 

Isabella felt weird being assigned to ask Peter to tutor her. It felt almost wrong, they were friends and she didn't want to take advantage of that. Plus he was her assignment, and it just felt weird to be asking for help from the person she was shadowing. 

"How'd you do on that last Spanish quiz?" Peter asked everyone at the table as he stole one of Michelle's pretzels. 

Ned responded with his usual B and Isabella shrugged. "Not so great." She mumbled, trying to get over the fact that she literally had to ask for help or Tony would do it for her. 

Peter just looked at her for a second as he finished the pretzel. "I can help you if you want." He suggested causing Ned to look at him weirdly and Peter to shrug a little. 

"You don't have to do that Peter, I'm sure you're busy already with the academic decathlon being in like two months, plus the Stark internship." Isabella said and Peter shook his head. 

"Don't worry about it, how about we go to the library after school for an hour or even half an hour and I help you there." Peter said, before she could respond Ned asked him to talk with him private. 

"What's going on with those two?" Isabella asked Michelle who was currently reading a book about the circus in world war two. 

"Ned is all confused why Peter would tutor you in Spanish because Peter kind of likes you but he also doesn't trust you." Michelle responded, not looking up from her book. 

Isabella nodded a little and looked over to where Ned and Peter were arguing. She didn't know why Peter wouldn't trust her, she had been nothing but nice to him since she met him. There was no reason why he wouldn't trust her. Then she remembered something Tony had recently added to Peter's file. Spidey sense, or at least that's what Tony called it. Peter can sense danger, but it has to be immediate danger. 

Maybe even being in Isabella's presence set it off. She was a trained assassin after all. She was dangerous and she wasn't at school because her dad just recently changed jobs and made them move here. She was there because Tony Stark made her be there, 

Peter and Ned finally sat back down as Ned glanced at Isabella. 

"Sorry about that, so what do you think about me tutoring you?" Peter asked as he reached for another pretzel.
