Malfunctions

Narrator's POV

"Peter!"

Peter turned his head only to see his three closest friends running up to him.

"Oh, hey guys." He smiled at them.

"Are you okay? I heard you were in the hospital." Ned said.

"We wanted to come by, but we had a major project due the past week." Harry said.

"Alright, give him some space." Wade told the three to back up.

"Got yourself a body guard, huh?" Mj asked, looking up at Wade.

"No." Peter said. He looked up at Wade and gave him a small smile. "Wade's my-"

"Boyfriend?" Mj asked.

Peter's cheeks flushed red. Wade smiled down at Peter and took his hand.

"Yup." Wade said.

"I understand if you guys don't-"

"Peter." Harry said.

Peter looked at him.

"We always kinda knew."

"Did you?" Peter asked.

"It's kinda obvious, sooo....yeah." Mj said. "And, were okay with it." She said.

Peter looked up at Harry, who nodded and smiled at him.

"Thanks guys." Peter smiled.

"Whoa! Is that a prosthetic hand?" Ned asked as he caught a glance at Peter's hand sticking out of his jacket sleeve.

"Um...yeah." Peter said, introducing his hand to them. "It's my whole arm actually." He said, rolling up his sleeve.

"What? No way." Ned observed.

"What happened to your arm?" Harry asked.

"I..." Peter looked up at Wade, who gave him a soft smile. "I don't really like to talk about it."

"I understand." Harry told him, backing down.

"Cool." Mj simply answered.

"It's awesome!" Ned said. "Can you lift heavy things? Shoot lasers? Can it help you fly?"

"Alright, SuperDork." Mj laughed, pulling Ned away. "We gotta get to class. See ya later, Pete."

"Later." Peter wave at them before walking away with Wade.

"Tony." Stephen called from upstairs.

"Yeah?" Peter called from down in his lab as he worked on a new piece of his suit.

"I'm going to pick up the kids." Stephen said.

"Okay." Tony said, pulling goggles over his eyes.

"I'll be back shortly."

"Mhm." Tony nodded as he began to weld away.

He heard a door shut as he continued to weld.

His head suddenly perked up. "Stephen wait!" He yelped.

It was already too late, Stephen was already gone.

"Friday."

Yes, boss?

"Where's Stephen?" He asked, taking the goggles off.

He just left the premises

"Dammit." Tony sighed.
