Jealousy ~ Parley/Parkner

Chapter 4

*HARLEY'S POV*

I'm so excited to be here. Stark Tower!!

Living in Tennessee is so boring sometimes. Back in Rose Hill, all we had is grass and cows. Being in a place like New York City feels like a dream.

I had no idea that Tony had a kid. I didn't even know he was married!

I wonder who she is. Probably some super hot French model. That seems like Tony.

Tony was giving me a tour of the tower, and right now we were in the kitchen.

"And this is my husband, Steve." Tony said, introducing me to a tall, blonde, and strong man.

Captain America???

But wait...

Did he say husband?

"Oh." I felt my face getting red. I felt kinda rude.

I stepped forward and shook his hand, "Harley."

"Nice to meet you Harley," Steve said with a smile.

I smiled back and looked at Tony. He looked like he was trying to hold back a laugh.

Well this was awkward.

*PETER'S POV*

I came out of my room and decided to talk to Harley. If he's going to be here for the whole summer, I might as well get to know him.

Right?

Everyone was in the kitchen. I walked up to a barstool and sat down. No one noticed I was there until I sighed and said, "When's dinner gonna be ready?" Pops turned around. "Shouldn't be too long."

Dad and Harley were still talking.

I want attention.

"Daddddddd..." I whined like a little kid, trying to get him to talk to me.

He looked at me and laughed. "What is it little Petey?"

I hurriedly tried to think of something to say. I didn't have a reason to talk to him, I just wanted to.

Wait! I know.

"M.J. knows I'm Spider-Man."

Dad's eyes widened. So did Harley's.

I laid my head on the table and sighed, "And now Harley does too."

"Wait wait wait- you're Spider-Man?!" I'm not used to having to keep my secret in my own HOUSE too. Not my fault.

"Peter let's go talk in your room," Dad said.

I got up and trudged to my room, followed by Dad who didn't seem too happy.

I sat down on my bed and Dad closed the door. He put his head in his hands. "How did M.J. find out?" He said quietly, very obviously trying to stay calm.

Should I lie or tell the truth?

I'm already in enough trouble. I might as well tell the truth.

"She saw me use my web shooters when two guys tried to mug me in an alley."

"TWO GUYS TRIED TO MUG YOU?!" He shouted.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, okay? Worse stuff than that happens to me every week, I didn't think it would matter... I mean I am Spider-Man. I can handle it."

"You're also sixteen. You're gonna get yourself killed. And if you died, I feel like that's on me."

I lowered my head. He's right.

There was a long and awkward silence before Dad spoke again, "What did you tell her?"

"I just explained everything. I told her to keep it all a secret."

"Well let's hope she does." He paced over to my door and opened it. "Thanks for telling me."

"Yeah." I was kind of upset at the way he handled it but then again, he's only trying to protect me. I guess.

Five minutes later, Harley walked into my room. He took a look around my room and then at me.

"Nice room."

"Thanks."

Long silence.

"I think it's pretty cool. Ya know...that you're Spider-Man."

"Thanks."

Another long silence.

"Well I guess I'll go. Just wanted to check your room out."

I didn't say anything.

He left.
