Michelle
To be honest I don't think Andreé and I realize how suffocating our relationship was until we let each other go. It was as if a weight was lifted off our shoulders, in a way we kept holding onto each other because of comfort and familiarity. We love each other, no doubt about that, but we aren't in love with each other anymore and I think it's extremely important to recognize that. We kept holding onto the 'What if's?' Or 'if only...'

So enough about that, what am I doing now? Besides having deep conversations with myself, well we are going skiing,
YAY[ says dripping of sarcasm]
I hate sports(besides running) because they require ability, some sort of coordination, unlike running, you learn to walk since you're in diapers, the only thing that changes is the speed. I can do running, we were raised to use our legs daily to get us everywhere, but skiing requires you to go down a hill, at a high speed, with sticks under your feet, there are some many different death scenarios, and I love being alive, if I'm not alive I can't read books, and what is life without books? Let me answer that for you, NONE, ZERO, NADA!
So besides the fact that I might die today, Ned is shitting his pants and so am I but I'm not vocal about it, I don't wanna look like a little whinny bitch.
"What if my Skiing gear breaks, what do I do? Or if I trip and end up getting swallowed by the snow and suffocate?" Ned asked the professional instructor that was with us as a helicopter was taking is up the mountain.
"Well the gear you're wearing has a tracker, which means that if that does happen we can find you" He said looking at Ned amusingly.
"How soon is the question?" Ned asked eying him challenging.
"Ned stop being such a girl"Flash commented and I glared at him, my feminist side choking him to death in my head. I think that if I did half the things I think of in my head, I would never be allowed to have any social interaction with mankind ever again.
"MJ is going to kick your ass in Decathlon next week for that sexist remark" Ned chuckled looking back and forth between Flash and I.
"Well you can't change stupid Ned, I've learned to ignore his ignorant thoughts" I said smirking at Flash.
"Fuck off" Flash said laughing slightly.
Flash gets on my nerves most of the times, but deep down he is a nice person. You could say we're acquaintances.
"Plus you love me too much to torture me" Flash said grinning.
"Don't hold your breath. Actually you should, because then I wouldn't have to deal with your annoying ass" I said grinning.
"Are you guys...flirting—" Ned said
"EW NO!" Both Flash and I said simultaneously our expression turning into a grimace.
"I think I just barfed" I said scrunching my nose.
"Alrighty kids, let's get you out of this helicopter" the instructor said.
Everyone else was already there waiting for the instructor, Peter included. He was sitting in a tree trunk bench with Bailey clinging to him like a leach.
••••••••••••••
After the instructor guided us through the do's and don't's while skiing, people started going their separate ways in partners.
"I don't know Pete, today is the day I die, I can feel it" Ned said looking at Parker worriedly.
"Don't worry I'll help you. Bailey is hanging out with her friends today, something about having some 'girl time' with her 'squad' so it will be the three of us today." Parker said.
Ned frowned slightly at Peter's answer but refrain from saying anything. I know it's been hard on Ned, since Parker barely hangs out with him anymore. The one day he does hang out with us, it's because Bailey left him. I know Ned's feelings are hurt.
"Thank you for rewarding us with your presence, I'll make sure to note that we need scheduled appointments from now on" I said voicing out the thoughts that Ned was too kind to say.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Peter asked turning to face my direction.
"Anything you want it to mean Parker" I said sitting down trying to figure out how I'm suppose to put the gear on my feet.
"Well you're making it sound like I'm only hanging out with you guys because I have nothing better to do" Peter said obviously offended
"That's because you don't and we're your backup choice " I said getting up from my spot to meet his gaze accusingly.
"Okay....guys let's not argue today, we should make the most of this trip while it lasts" Ned said coming in between Parker and I.
"I'm not doing nothing" I said raising my hands in surrounding and turning my back on Parker to pick up my board.
I saw a helicopter in the air and as I focused on the familiar logo I couldn't help but let a soft gasp escape my lips.
"You guys, is it just me or does that helicopter have the Avengers logo on its side?" I said grabbing Ned's arm and pointed at the Helicopter that was hovering a few get away from us.
"Uhhhh–" Ned said looking at Parker desperately.
What the hell is going on? Shouldn't they be surprise, excited, shit even scared?
"Why aren't guys excited, it's freaking AVENGERS PROPERTY!" I exclaimed desperately trying to snap them out of their daze.
"Well we are—" Peter began but stopped his eyes widening at something behind me.
I was scared and excited to be honest. I ever so slowly turned around to reveal the one and only....
"Iron Man" I whispered not believing the words coming out of my mind.
"Hey kid, you didn't answer your phone" Iron man said looking directly at Parker, while I just stood there in shock at the interaction
"Hey Mr.Stark, yeah sorry I kinda broke my phone, while doing the Stark internship the other day, it completely shattered" he explained casually.

How is Parker keeping his shit together right now?
How can he possibly be talking to IRON MAN like any other man?
"I've told you to—" Mr. Stark said
"Call you when I need things, yeah, yeah, I know the drill" Peter dismisses.

DID HE JUST INTERRUPT IRON MAN!!

"Doesn't look like you know it if you keep forgetting it" Mr.Stark remarked.
"What the hell Parker?" I spoke loudly after I managed to snap of out my shock
"Oh MJ this is—" Peter began introductions
"TONY STARK I know, who doesn't?" I said turning around and facing him
"I like you young lady. Call me Tony" he said shaking my hand confidently.

Tony Stark just touched my hand.... AHH

"Michelle Jones it's a pleasure to meet you" I said shaking his hand firmly
"Hello Mr.Stark" Ned said happily.
"Hey Ned how are you bud?" Stark said.
"You know average" Ned said.
"Mr.Stark is there anything wrong with my internship?" Peter asked looking at Stark intensely.
"Nothing is wrong, I just need to discuss some matters with you" Stark said wrapping arm his around Peter's shoulder.
"What's your internship about?" I asked Parker
"Oh well–you know– it's a lot of technical stuff you wouldn't understand" Peter dismissed.
"Oh" I said.
"Wait–no–I didn't mean it like that–you're–shit–you're super smart–not that you wouldn't understand of course you would– I just mean it's complicated to explain" Parker said struggling to get his words out.
"It's fine Parker" I said shrugging it off.
"I didn't mean—" he began.
"It's cool. It's none of my business" I said.
"MJ come on–" Parker begged me with his eyes.
"Parker you don't have to apologize " I said sternly trying to get him to stop. He's embarrassing me in front of Tony Stark. He must think I'm one of those annoying girls that demands answers.
"I'm sorry, is she your girlfriend?" Stark asked looking at Parker
"No I'm not. Just his friend" I answered before Parker could get a word out.
"If she isn't your girlfriend then who the hell is?" Stark asked looking at him with his 'you better tell me now young man' look.
"Her name is Bailey" Parker said
And on cue...
"OH MY GOSH ITS TONY STARK IM GONNA DIE THIS IS NOT REAL I CANT BREATH. ITS IRON MAN AHHHHHH" I very girly and high pitch voice yelled at the top of her lungs
"Please tell it's not—" Mr.Stark said looking at me desperately
"It's her. That's Bailey" I finished his sentence.
"Well shit." Mr.Stark said under his breath.
"TONY STARK IRON MAN"she kept yelling while going down the hill skiing like a fucking professional.
The one talent in her life.
In matters of seconds she was by Mr.Stark's side getting her phone out of her pocket.
"Can I take a picture with you Tony?" She asked confidently while snapping away.
"Mr.Stark will do the trick, Bailey I assume" Mr.Stark said looking disinterested.
"OH MY GOSH IRON MAN KNOWS MY NAME" she yelled.
"You don't need to yell specially when I'm the one next to you" Mr.Stark said.
Mr.Stark is a whole ass mood.
"I'm sorry how do you know my name?" She asked feeling like she was a freaking celebrity.
"Through my daddy I'm assuming" she said bragging about her obvious wealthy perks.
"Well I don't know who the hell your daddy is, but Parker here tells me you're his girlfriend, and he happens to be very important to me" Mr.Stark said.
"You're friends with Iron Man and you didn't tell me!? What the hell Peter!?" Bailey said trying to hide her anger.
"I just haven't had the time. I told you I had an internship" Peter said defensively.
"Not with Iron Man. I just thought it was an internship with your nerd stuff, not Iron Man" She said.
"Well you and I have some things to discuss. Come on kid" Mr.Stark said pulling Parker away from everyone.
"Let's learn how to skii" I said to Ned.
"Hell yeah im ready to die" He said excitedly.
"What?" I said.
"I just met Iron Man if I die today, I die a happy man" Ned said
"Me too Ned. Me too buddy" I said with a smile on my face.
Well you don't get to meet Iron Man everyday.
