Ms. Stark [Peter Parker]

Chapter 43| Doctor Fashion

THIRD PERSON
1:11 pm; Saturday- the mall

Maria scurried down the mall remarkably perturbed. Thor, Bucky, and Steve followed her closely behind. While Bucky and Steve gave her some distance, Thor trailed behind her like a little puppy.

"Do you think we should be going with her? Like... I know we came here for that but she doesn't seem too happy with us being here, " Bucky whispered to Steve as they walked side by side.

"Well, I mean we can't be too out of date. No doubt, she would probably prefer her friends or Pepper over us, but what other choice does she have?" Steve replied quite earnest.

"Hey! Are you and your friend coming? You're going to caught behind!" yelled Thor back at the two.

"Yeah, we'll be up there in a second, " said Steve. They both pushed past some people ahead of them, until they were next to the only man who stood out...Thor. He was easy to spot. Maria was still determined and walking fastly to her destination.

"Sooo... Maria... where are we going exactly?" Steve awkwardly asked her as he made his way up to her. He was even having trouble keeping up.

"I am going to the designer dresses store around the corner. You guys can go wherever you want I guess."

"I shall find you a wonderous gown, Young Stark. Peter will not even know how to react once he sees it!" Thor acclaimed. Bucky chuckled.

"Yeah, he will probably be traumatized if anything, " he said lowly to Maria and Steve.

"What did you say, magnetic arm man?" Thor asked, not even intending to offend Bucky. All he did was frown and shut up after that comment.

"ANYWAY, I'm going there. You'll find me in there, have fun shopping, " Maria told the three before dashing off to the store.

Steve, Bucky, and Thor were left alone now, not even knowing where to start.

"What about this tie?"

"No... I think a bow tie would be cute. Don't you think, Wanda?"

"A bow tie? This isn't the nineteen- twenty's."

Peter could feel his head start to hurt from the bickering between Pepper and Natasha. He stood in between the two, as they both kept holding up bows, ties, and what-not to his body. Wanda, being the polite girl she was, didn't want to pick sides and get in between this.

"Okay, but I think Peter would look dashing-"

"Why don't we ask Peter what he wants?" Wanda finally pipes in. Pepper and Nat finally stopped arguing when she spoke. They both looked at Peter, as though remembering he was human now and not just their 'dress up' object.

"You're right. Sorry, Peter. What do you want?" Nat asks him sincerely.

"Yes, is there anything certain you want with the suit?" Pepper added gently. Peter smiled softly, appreciating Wanda making them realize he was still there.

"Well..."

Bucky scanned the area around him. His eyes landed on a particular store, where most females he noticed Maria's age were heading.
