The Field Trip... & Stuff

3. The Odds

Peter woke up extra early, not wanting the bus to leave him. He put on a button-on and his usual pants, then pulled on his blue school crew neck sweater over his shirt. He grabbed his backpack and unloaded unimportant stuff.

After hesitating for a while, Peter threw in his web shooters and suit. He swung his backpack over his back then made his way to the kitchen, grabbing an apple and a water bottle before walking outside.

Peter made it to school with time to spare, yet almost every kid in his class was waiting outside next to the bus, where they were told to wait. Peter started to make his way towards Ned when Flash spotted him.

"Ayo, look everyone, it's Stark's intern!" He yelled, "Penis Parker!!!" Everyone snickered as Flash high fived his friends. Peter rolled his eyes.

Mr. Warren did roll call as soon as he got there. Of course no one was absent.

"Isn't that the guy that doesn't like you?" Ned whispered to Peter. Peter looked over to where Ned was pointing and saw Happy... who didn't look very happy. "Why is he here?"

"Everyone, this is Mr. Hogan," Mr. Warren said, "he is our designated driver to the compound,"

"Alright, listen up," Happy said, "just don't be annoying or I'm throwing you off the bus," he entered the bus and sat in the driver's seat, "Well?? Don't just stand there,"

The kids all shuffled inside. Peter was the last one on, "uh, Mr. Happy, sir," he whispered, "i just remembered I accidentally left my badge in Mr. Stark's lab,"

"when?" Happy groaned.

"a couple months ago," Happy looked at him like he was crazy.

"In my defense," Peter lifted his hands, "Mr. Stark says I don't need it anymore and FRIDAY lets me enter without a question every time I go,"

Happy turned to look at the people behind him and saw that the teacher, Flash and a few others were staring intently at them, "go sit down, they'll give you a temporary badge over when we get there,"

Peter nodded and made his way towards the back of the bus where Ned and MJ sat.

Flash tripped him on his way, and smiled smugly, "penis the poser,"

"ignore him" Mj said, not looking up from her book. Peter sat next to Ned, who was sitting behind Michelle, "he's an idiot,"

"So Mj," Ned said, "any avengers you're looking forward to see?"

Mj knew Peter was Spider-Man, but she found out purely by accident. After a long day of patrolling, Peter was making his way towards the alley were he webbed up his backpack. He had taken off his mask and ran into MJ who was passing through.

Of course, he had no choice but to tell her his secret.

"i don't really like the avengers," Mj said, "something about them destroying the city is not really my thing, per to say,"

"They save the city!" Ned exclaimed, "not destroy it!"

Peter rested his head on the seat and closed his eyes as Ned and MJ bickered. He hoped that by sleeping, he could pretend the field trip wasn't happening.

After what seemed like forever, Peter felt someone nudge him lightly, "dude we're here!!"

Everyone basically trampled each other trying to get off first.

Michelle walked away from the group as the class took turns taking selfies and group pictures with the tower.

She got a notification from Snapchat, telling her that someone sent a picture to the group chat.

She opened the snap and smiled, remembering how Ned created a group chat (and called it "Guardians of the Secret") the second Peter told him that she knew. Michelle would never admit it, but she was touched they included her.

The snap Ned sent was a selfie of him and Peter captioned, "avengers compound!!!!"

BossBitch: you guys are such fanboys

WebSlinger: not even

GuyintheChair: yeah. We're just excited. I mean we might see Tony Stark.

Mj put her phone away and muttered, "Tony Stark is so overrated,"

"I wouldn't say that if I were you," a voice said next to her. Michelle whipped her head around and saw a man in a red and black costume reading a comic that read "Deadpool"

"oh, I'm not saying it for me, by the way. Just speaking for the... what are Tony fans called?" The man paused, "Starke- Oh no no no ew that's not it," he leaned against a lamp post, " The Starks? No, I'm sure that's an alien race... Not that these gen Z's don't act like aliens but-"

"What are you talking about?" Michelle asked.

"The readers," The man said matter of factly.

Michelle kept staring at him. The what?

The man sighed and closed his comic book, "oh come on, this is an irondad fic. You know there's gonna be Tony stans here. But that's not important, want a taco?"

Mj looked over to where her class was. No one seemed to notice the man, so she turned to face him again... except she didn't see him anymore. He had disappeared into thin air.

What the fuck?

Mj made her way towards her class again, deciding to forget the Halloween costume guy. She could've sworn she had seen him somewhere, before though.
