Tea Time

Chapter 2

This is in Pepper and MJ's point of views.

MJ's POV
I walk out of the school to see Peter running up to the black SUV that always comes to pick him up, Ned's running for the subway which is normal for Fridays, and I'm heading to the car that Pepper sent to get me today. We don't have regularly scheduled visits because her schedule is crazy, but she sent me a text saying she was free this afternoon and would be sending a car to pick me up after school.

"Hey, Pepper!" I say as I walk into her office, she looks up with a big smile on her face. "Hi MJ! I'm glad your mother let you come here today sense it was so last minute." She says her smile never faultering. "So, what did your morons do this week?" She asked, I smiled since one of those 'morons' was her sort - of - son. "No, no, no. I went first last time. It's your turn to spill first about your imbecils." I say as I take a sip of the hot chocolate that Pepper's assistant had set in front of me. "Alright, you're right. I'll go first." She said taking a sip of her coffee.

"Okay, so both Rhodey and Tony are banned from any and all labs until further notice." She said with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "What did they do?!" I asked curious of what Tony could have done to get banned from the labs in his own building. "Well, they were doing an experiment together and Rhodey added something into the beaker right after Tony had put Sodium Chlorite in it. And then all of the chemicals mixed together in a wrong way. And it blew up!" She said, taking another sip of coffee. "I'll have FRIDAY send you the video of the whole disaster!" She said, excitement in her tone.

"Okay, now it's your turn to spill. What did they do this week?" She asked, my eyes instantly took on a mischievous gleam as I looked up from my hot cocoa. "Ned got suspended for 3 days and Peter was suspended for 2 days with detention all week!" I said feeling kind of bad about ratting my kind - of - friend - kind - of - something - else out to his sort - of - mom. But not too bad. "What? What did they do??" She said concerned. I gave her an evil grin, and continued the story. "They started a fight. Flash was picking on some random kid, so Peter and Ned walked up and tried to get him to stop. Flash threw a punch at the kid and Peter caught his hand, pushed him away from the kid, punched him and broke his nose. Ned stood by and watched but he was calling flash a few choice words that I have decided against saying out loud." I explained, Pepper's face darkened at the mention of Peter hurting someone intentionally. But he was protecting someone, he was being Spiderman while still being Peter Parker.

Pepper's POV
I frowned at her story, Peter would never hurt anyone except if they were trying to hu- "what was this kids name?" I asked hoping it was who I thought it was. "I think his name was Jason." She said, she pulled her phone out and showed me the video of the fight, my eyes landed on the original victim.

Jason Parker.

Of course I should have known it was Jason. That's the only time Peter ever willingly hurts someone, when his brother is in trouble. I looked at the video one more time, I could see the fear in Jason's eyes as Flash stood over him, I could see the anger in Peter as he pulled Flash away from Jason, I could see Ned's confused expression as Peter punched Flash, I could see everything the two were feeling as they walked away from Ned to get Jason away from Flash, probably to go to the nurse. "Wow, I never Peter had it in him to hurt someone who didn't try to hurt him first." I said trying to keep her away from the conclusion that they're brothers. They've been hiding it so well, they don't want people to know due to the fact that Peter is Spiderman. He doesn't want any one to target Jason if his identity is ever figured out, Peter is super overprotective of his brother.

MJ and I talked for about 2 hours before she had to go home for dinner, I sent her on her way and made my way to the penthouse where Peter and Tony should be. I walk out of the elevator and see no one, but it's dinner time and those two are always in here for food. "FRIDAY? where are my boys?" I asked trying to mask my concern. "Peter and Tony went to go pick up Jason and get some take out. They should be back in half an hour" the AI responded cheerfully. I guess all I can do is wait, I want to hear Peter and Jason's side of the story. I know that it's all there in a video but I still need to talk to the both of them about that fight.

My kids will not be starting fights. I smile at the thought. My kids those two boys are my kids. And no one can tell me otherwise.
