Peter Parker Stories

Internship Competition (6)

After they had a luxurious breakfast, they again headed down to the labs they had been using from the day before.
He felt Honey around his neck as they re-entered the lab.
"Okay, you have till lunch. Go." She walked out.
'Seriously? You're leaving us with only Mr Harrington as supervision?'
He thought this to himself as he went to the back of the lab where his table was.
He couldn't help thinking about what happened last night. He thought he remembered seeing Hawkeye from somewhere as well as Natalie.
Oh Well, he'd figure it out another time. For now, SCIENCE!!!
He thought about checking on E.L but decided against it for now. He knew he should of checked her last night but he forgot.
When he reached his work station, he thought about what he should do now that he had completed Honey.
Then he thought of how cool it would be if he made a watch that could turn into emergency web shooters.
He quickly went and found an old silver watch and started working on compacting the materials and web cartridges into the smaller space.
He set about making his we  formula, a simple task that he was used to doing in his chemistry class.
By the time lunch rolled around, the average-looking watch was now also a fully functional web shooter as soon as he double tapped the side. It had the ability to have holograms and interactive holoscreens too.
It also connected to Karen, Honey and E.L, so that they could send data and live feeds directly and the only way to see the small light that blinked, would be if you had enhanced eyesight.
As they ate lunch, he could feel his Spidey-Sense give a slight warning, and he instantly knew that it was Flash.
Up until now, Flash had ignored him. He had been too focused on winning. Now, with their creations over, Flash sat down in front of him, and gave a smirk.
"So, Penis, you ready to see me win?" Peter tried not to roll his eyes at the cocky comment, knowing that while Flash was smart, there was also Abe and Cindy for example, who had an equal, if not more, chance at winning.
"Well, it's anyone's game." Peter said, not looking up until a hand slammed onto the table.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you, freak. You think you're better than everyone? You probably couldn't even come up with an idea, let alone make something useful. What are your parents going to think, or your uncle? Oh wait, their dead, because they couldn't live with a useless freak like you!" With that, Flash stormed back to his table, while Peter was trying not to cry. Flash had struck a nerve, as he had always blamed himself for his uncle's death. If he had just been faster-
"Hey." He looked up through blurry eyes to see two people standing ahead of him.
"Mind if we sit?" The man asked, silver hair bright against his tan complexion, and a Sokovian accent dripping into his words.
"Y-yeah." They both took a seat in from of him. The woman with the brown hair looked at him with sadness in her eyes.
"Are you alright?" She asked, her voice also laced with a Sokovian accent.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He gave them a probably unconvincing smile.
"We know how you feel, if what he said is true." The woman looked a little sad at that, and he had a feeling why.
"Our parents were also killed when we were young. We know it's hard and the pain never leaves but it will always get better somehow."
Peter looked them both in the eye and gave them a grateful smile. They smiled back and they also started talking quite a bit. Turns out they were both 20 and so were still quite young themselves.
Eventually, they were called in and led to another room with lots of desks, reminding him a lot of a classroom. (*shudders*)
At the front of the room, was none other than Bruce Banner himself, who awkwardly smiled as his eyes sweeping over the class.
"Good afternoon. My name is Bruce Banner and I have the tests you have to take. There are thirty questions but they are extremely difficult. The highest anyone has ever gotten was 79%, so don't expect anything above 50%. At the back is a question that nobody has been able to answer before. Pick a table and get started. You have one hour"
Peter was trying not to fanboy at being in the same room with one of the greatest scientists in the WORLD!!!
He quickly made his way to the desk and started the questions. Honestly, they weren't that hard. He finished them all in half an hour.
'Maybe they just did that to make us worry?' He didn't know.
He turned to the question at the back and read over it a couple of times. He began working away and filled the whole page as well as the next page with numbers and equations before coming to his final answer just as the time ran out.
"Okay! You have the next half an hour  to pack your belongings before the final hiding happens. You will be told your scores after that."
The half an hour was spent packing away E.L, Karen, his few belongings, his spider trackers, and spider drones.
Time for the judging.

On the higher levels in the Tower, sat Natasha, Clint, Thor and Steve.
"Okay, so we know he is with the field trip. If we go down, we will be able to find him."
Clint and Natasha had both realised the boy was the same one who had apologised for his classmates behaviour.
Clint wanted to find him because he was polite but still packed quite a punch.
Steve and Thor wanted to find him because he was able to lift Mjolnir without any effort.
Natasha just wanted to see him again.
"So it's decided, we will be going down during the competition showing."
Everyone nodded their head.

Wanda and Pietro sat in Wanda' s room, coming to a final decision.
"If we want to see him again, I say we go down for the competition showing." Pietro said to his sister.
"Maybe then we can at least exchange numbers. Clint is always saying to find other people to talk to."
They both agreed to go down to find Peter again.

The head scientists were all going to be going to the internship competition, and since all the students and interns were going to be there, they would make sure to look out for one person in particular.
They were going to find the genius who solved their problem.

Max and Ryan were excited. They would finally find the teen who had solved the equation.
_______________________________________
Bruce Banner was marking all the answer sheets and eventually reached one which completely shocked him.
All the answers were correct and with little working compared to everyone else.
When he checked the question at the back, what he and Tony called an 'impossible question', he saw a ton of working.
It was called an 'impossible question' was because no one could solve it.
"Holy shit"
Or at least, no one had solved it until now.
"LAngUagE!" was shouted down the hall from his room where he was marking the sheets.
He ignored it for now and looked at the name on top but couldn't place a face to the name.

'Peter Parker'

He realised that he had to get going and left the room with one thought running through his head.
Who was that kid?

Okay, finally! Once exams are over, I'm going to try to give more frequent updates. For now, here is part 6, part 7 coming soon, hope you enjoyed.

Until the next update.
