10:06 pm; Friday- Happy's Car

"I can't drive! I mean, I can, but not that great!" Peter was freaking out as we hurried into the car. It was just outside Stark Mansion, waiting for us as if the car knew we had to escape.

I kept looking back, seeing if men were following us, but we seemed well protected. Ashtyn dove into the backseat, and I sat next to Peter in the passenger seat.

"How do I even start this? Oh my G-"

"PETER! STOP! HERE ARE THE KEYS!" I tried to calm him down, but I was freaking out myself. I shoved the jingling keys in for him, and he instantly hit the pedal.

"What's my turning signal again? I'm forgetting everything! I don't even know-"

"Guys... what is going on?" Ashtyn leaned forward between the seats so she was in between Peter and I. I kept forgetting she was not used to this unlike us two. I quickly look her in the eye.

"Ashtyn, we are under attack. It's fine though... Peter is going to drive us away. Right Peter?"

"Yeah- yeah totally." I could hear the insecurity in his voice though.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I turned over and asked Ashtyn as Peter began driving away. I examined her to see if I could notice any changes. Peter didn't pay attention to us and rather the road.

"Yeah... I'm okay."

"What even happen?"

"Well, it was almost ironic. Because after a while of talking to Thor and telling him my entire life story..." I rolled my eyes. "We began to wonder where you two went. And then just like that-" she smacked her hands, "a huge crash was heard and these people started piling in! Attacking! I felt frozen." I nodded, her story made sense.

"Well as long are you are alright, that's all that matters, " I tell her as I turn back around. We were coming up the huge New York City Street soon now, but Peter seemed to be doing alright.

Since everything seemed more settled, out of curiosity, I opened the slot in front of me. Surprisingly, it held music cases... Happy's music cases. I began flipping through them... he wouldn't mind. I think.

"So... what were you two doing anyway? Hmm?" Ashtyn slyly asked us. She spoke louder now than before to grab Peter's attention.

"Nothing! Can you please be quiet, I'm trying to focus, " Peter denied her teasing and kept his eyes on the road. He was getting annoyed.

"Really? Odd you two disappear together. I wouldn't be surprised-"

"Maria, tell her to stop!" My finger landed on a CD that read Tainted Love. I was too busy looking at CDs to care about their childish fighting.

"Well, I mean, we were making out-"

"MARIA!"

Ashtyn burst out into uncontrollable laughter while Peter looked like he wanted to die. He couldn't understand why I could say what I said so general and blunt.
