Three Day Field Trip to Stark Tower

Chapter 12

A/N: Yes, I did just post two chapters at the same time. I was going to just post chapter 11, but I felt like it'd be a good idea to post chapter 12 as well, so here you all go. =)

Silence descended upon the Decathlon group as Peter walked out, donning his Spider-Man suit. He could tell that the team was nervous, as he surveyed them all.

"Uh, hi." He greeted awkwardly, waving at them. That seemed to break the ice, because the team all began greeting him.

He could see MJ was trying to hold in laughter, and Ned was trying to act like he was excited to see Spider-Man, although he knew it was his best friend behind the mask.

Peter felt a little more confident then he thought he would, with the mask over his face. Well, at-least he thought he felt more confident. Can you tell if you feel confident or not? Or is it more of an instinct?  An instinct? That doesn't even make any sense.

Blinking a few times to break the weird thoughts from his head, he addressed the group. God, this was weird. "Alright, uh... I'll be taking you guys down to the gym. So..."

Peter glanced over at MJ and Ned who were standing beside each-other. Ned nodded at him, and MJ motioned with her hands for him to continue. 

"Follow me, I guess."

Peter then turned around and began walking off, hoping that the team was following behind him. He was also hoping that they wouldn't recognise his voice. He tried to make his voice sound a bit deeper, but it most likely wasn't working. 

Someone came up beside him. "Hey Spidey-" Peter looked to his left, and saw Betty. "Can I call you that?"

Peter nodded. "Awesome- so um, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions? For the school newspaper?"

Peter nodded again. "Okay, I was just curious- where did you get your powers from, or do your powers come from the suit?" Betty pulled out a notepad, a pen already in hand. Peter hadn't really thought about how he would answer their questions, so he found himself freaking out slightly.

Relax, Parker. You talk to these people everyday.

"Well, I got bit by a radioactive spider..." Now that that came out of his mouth, it certainly sounded more stupid than he last remembered. Betty seemed surprised by the answer, but she wrote it down nonetheless. 

"Why did you decide to become a hero?"

The question hit Peter. Why did he decide to become a hero. Memories seemed to flash through his mind, but he pushed them away as he focused on answering the question. "Well... Somebody once told me, with that great power comes great responsibility. I wanted to look out for the little guy, and use my powers for the greater good." 

Peter smiled to himself. That was a good answer, right?

Betty wrote that down, before smiling at him. 

Soon the group reached the gym. Peter pushed open the doors to the large room, the group following in after him. Now that they were in there, Peter found his mind was completely broken. He hadn't a clue as to what they should do.

A silence stretched on, before Ned spoke up. "Spider-Man, could you show us some of your powers?"

Peter wanted to sigh a relief. Ned was his lifesaver. "Uh, yeah. Sure."

"Can we see your webs?" Abe asked, pointing at his wrists. Peter held out his wrists, before shooting a web at the wall behind them. "Woah, that's awesome! Are those webs coming out of your wrists? Like, from your skin?" He asked.
