Walking the Tightrope 🕷 Peter Parker [2]

twenty five

The picture above ^^^^ WE STAN AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND. A girl called Cass was trying to get an autograph and some grown men were shoving her up against the barricade, PUSHING HER OUT OF THE WAY, in order to get their autographs (TO SELL LATER BTW) and she was asking them to stop, saying she was going to have a panic attack. Tom, being the great guy he is, asked the guys to back off or he was going to throw their stuff on the ground (spoilers, he threw their stuff on the ground) and went to Cass's aid, comforting her saying "I've got you"

This boy really is Spider-Man, huh?

Anyway, in honor of this amazing Tom story that happened, I'm updating today instead of tomorrow. Enjoy!!!

Alexandra

The police arrived soon after Iron Man and Spider-Man had apprehended both Immanuel Clements and David Cartwright. Clements went without a fight, but Cartwright had to be wrangled by three police officers into the police car. He kept shouting about revenge and destroying Tony Stark and everything he cared about.

The kids in the cafeteria were rattled by what had gone down, but that didn't stop Alexandra's friends from rushing to her side when they saw her outside of the school. "ALEX!" Kai yelled as she ran to her friend. "Holy shit are you okay?! That was insane! Iron Man and Spider-Man showed up!"

Alexandra nodded. "I'm okay, I'm fine!" She replied. "Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine," MJ confirmed. "Just shaken, I think."

When Tony approached them, Ned immediately began asking him questions about the new suit. "That was so cool! How did you do that? What's the suit made of?" Ned asked excitedly.

"It's just a little thing I'm working on," He replied casually. "Nanotech isn't as easy as it looks, and there's still a few things I wanna tweak before I officially add this bad boy to the collection."

Ned's jaw dropped and he began bouncing on his heels excitedly. "Nanotech?! That's incredible!" He exclaimed. "No ones been able to utilize nanotech yet!"

Tony smirked. Alexandra could tell Ned was super impressed and that Tony had managed to use nanotech in his suits and she could also tell that Tony was loving Ned's reaction. She shook her head and smiled slightly.

"Alexandra!" She turned her head and saw her parents rushing towards her. She ran to them and embraced her Papa immediately. He wrapped his arms around her and began stroking her hair. "Jesus Christ, Alex, why do these things always happen to you?" He asked.

"I'm okay, Papa," Alexandra assured him. She looked at her dad and he nodded to her. "Really, no one was hurt."

Leo looked at her and sighed. "Okay, if you're sure," He replied. He glanced over at her friends and noticed Tony Stark standing with them. "You're lucky Iron Man happened to be in the neighborhood."

Alexandra looked over at Tony Stark and nodded in agreement. "He was here to tell Peter something about his internship," She lied. "But yeah, it was really lucky that he was here. And Spider-Man showed up, too."

"That's the second time he's saved you, huh?" Leo asked. "Looks like you've got a superhero looking out for you. Which actually puts my mind at ease... a lot." He laughed.

Just then, Alexandra noticed Peter walking over to their group and Tony Stark. He was dressed in his normal clothes now. She looked at her parents. "Hold on for a second," She told them before walking towards Peter. Peter looked up and saw her and he smiled. He opened his mouth to say something but she interrupted him by grabbing his hand. "I need to talk to you."

She didn't give him a chance to respond before she pulled him away from the group. "What's going on?" Peter asked worriedly. "Are you okay? Also, what the heck happened back there with you and Cartwright? Because I saw you run up the wall and backflip which was totally badass but also kind of confusing because I had no idea you could do that. Did you learn that in your defense classes? Because that would make sense, I guess. But also—"
