Jasmine pulled on her ripped black jeans with a grey t-shirt. She pulled her leather jacket on as well. It was her first day back to school, it had been a little over a month since she was kidnapped. She had also gotten her period, so that thankfully meant she wasn't pregnant from the rape.

Peter was in the living room, waiting for her, he was nervous for her to go back to school, he felt she should take more time, he didn't want someone to just swoop down and grab her.

Jasmine walks out after pulling on her wedge boots. Tony wanted to see her after school that day but wouldn't tell Peter what about. "Ready Petey?" She asks, grabbing an apple.

"Ready Jas." Peter nods, standing up.

"Why couldn't we just take a cab?" Jasmine whines, hiding her face in Spider-Man's shoulder as they swung from building to building.

Peter laughs softly as he landed on the balcony of Stark Tower. He lead her inside the vast building.

Tony was in the kitchen, making coffee, "Hey kiddos." He says, having a soft spot for the two teenagers. "I'll make sure she gets home safe, Peter." He says, giving Peter a look to say he had to leave.

Peter frowns, nodding quietly as he left, hesitating.

Jasmine looks at Tony, "What's this about Mr. Stark?"

"We figured out what they injected you with." Tony says, "It was three separate serums, one would give you the ability to produce fire, it was the red one, one gave you the ability to control earth, like an earthbender, the green one, and one gave you the ability to turn invisible at will." Tony explains, "We don't know if any of them activated with your blood." He adds, "But if they have we have a way to find out."

Jasmine nods, "Alright..." She follows him to some sort of training room.

"You can blast whatever with fire in here and if it catches it will be put out immediately. There are plants and dirt on the left side, and well we don't need anything special for you to turn invisible." Tony points out

Jasmine nods, stepping inside, looking around as she heads towards the plants, holding her hand out, unsure of herself, urging the young plant to grow. It does, growing full and into a strong sunflower.

Jasmine grins, urging the other plants to grow, she turns to the dirt, urging it to move towards her, watching as a hill of dirt appeared in front of her.

Jasmine grins, turning to a target, concentrating on fire appearing in her hand, throwing it like a baseball when it appeared, it smashed against the glass behind the targets.

"Need to practice my aim I guess." Jasmine giggles, before closing her eyes and concentrating on being invisible. She opens her eyes before looking at her hands, or what should have been her hands, they were partially invisible. She concentrates on being visible again, becoming fully visible.

Tony walked into the training area, "Alright, so you have to work on aim and invisibility." He says, writing on a notepad, "I want you to start coming by every other day to practice." He says, "If it interferes with a job or something I can accommodate pay." He says, shrugging.

"I like my job though...I work Wednesday through Saturday, what if I come in Sunday through Tuesday for a few hours and train?"

Tony nods, "That'll work." He says, "Monday and Tuesday come right after school until 5:30. We'll talk to your aunt and uncle, tell them you have a Stark Internship like Peter." He says, "Sunday's come at noon until 4:30." He suggests.

Jasmine nods, writing it down on her notebook. "I have work soon, am I free to go?" She asks.

"Yes. Happy will drive you to work." Tony says, dismissing her.

Jasmine follows a man that walked into the room at some point.

She buckles up and tells the man, Happy, where to go.

Reaching the bookstore Jasmine climbs out, "Thank you sir." She says, heading inside.

Jasmine looks up as her co-worker came in, her boss wasn't letting her do overnights anymore because of the incident. Her co-worker drove to and from work and would be safer.

"Hey Kayla." She says, grabbing her bag, "Shop's all yours." She smiles at her before going to the door, not expecting Peter to be waiting for her.

Peter smiles, "Hey Jas." He says softly.

Jasmine jumps, "You scared me!" She pouts, punching his shoulder playfully as they started walking.

"Sorry Jas." Peter chuckles, "What did Mr. Stark want that I couldn't be there for?" He asks

"We were talking about the terms of my internship with him." Jasmine shrugs.

"Your internship?" Peter frowns, "Why is he giving you an internship unless...." He looks at her, "Did you develop powers?" He asks

"I was injected with three serums. I have the ability to control earth and plants, I have the ability to produce fire, and I can turn invisible." Jasmine explains.

Peter frowns, nodding, "What are the terms of your internship?"

"I'll go over until 5:30 on Monday and Tuesdays after school. And on Sunday I'll go over from noon until 4:30." Jasmine explains, "To train and get control of my abilities." She adds, "I don't believe I'll be going on any missions any time soon." She smiles reassuringly at the boy.

"Good. You shouldn't go on any. It's too dangerous." Peter says, frowning softly.

"Once I have control of my powers I will go on missions if Mr. Stark assigns me one." Jasmine frowns. "And you can't stop me." She says firmly.

Peter frowns, "I just don't want anything to happen to you...." He says, "You were already hurt because of me, I don't want you to be putting yourself in danger intentionally." He says carefully.

Jasmine frowns, "Peter, you can't control if I do or don't go on missions." She says, looking at him as she stopped walking, "I'm 17 years old. I make my own decisions." She says firmly. "If I get hurt than that's on me, not you." She says, "You think I don't worry about you every night going off and being Spider-Man? I worry about you all the time since I found out." She says, "But I don't stop you. And if I tried to you would tell me-"

"I'd tell you that I can handle myself and I can make my own decisions." Peter sighs, nodding.

"Exactly." Jasmine starts walking again, shoving her hands in her jacket pockets.
