Ambition {𝟙𝟛} | Marvel √

chapter thirty-five

When Peter got home that day, he walked into his room, tossing his keys to the side as he asked, "Aunt May, did you do dinner already?" But he stopped in his place when he spotted a brown paper bag on his bed. And it read; "This belongs to you - TS"

Taking out his earphones, Peter called out, "May?"

No answer. And Peter smiled to himself.

After a few minutes, Peter stood in his bedroom, in his Spider-Man suit, feeling normal again in his suit. He sighed heavily before pulling off the mask, gazing out his window. But revealed behind him, stood a shocked May.

"What the fu—?!"

After the press conference, Emma went to her room in the compound and when she opened the door, she found Nala laying in her dog bed. Emma grinned at her as Nala ran up to her, wagging her tail happily.

"Hey, girl," she said before she noticed something at the corner of her eye. A jewelry box on her bedside table. But with it, a written note on it: "Shouldn't have taken it. It's yours now. - Dad."

Emma hesitantly slid the note off the box before opening it. And when she did, she grinned when she found her pink pendant inside. She quickly took it out of the box, clicked it around her neck before pressing on it.

In an instant, the pendant glowed and Emma's Miss Steel suit formed around her petite body. She grinned down at herself as Nala barked, continuing to wag her tail.

"What... the... hell..."

Emma quickly glanced up, quickly panicking when she found Pepper at her bedroom door. Her eyes widened while Pepper stared at her shocked.

"Mom! Hi!" Emma loudly said, ripping the black mask off her face, "What are you... What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with... Dad—?"

"You're the new hero?" Pepper calmly asked and Emma couldn't even answer, "Your dad told me you might be joining the Avengers for tech and training. Not because you're... and you've been this whole... with Peter..."

"Um—"

"Tony!" Pepper shouted before storming out of the bedroom.

"Shit!" Emma murmured, pressing her pendant before running after her mom, "Mom!"

In prison, Toomes walks through a cell block when Mac Gargan, a gang leader, approached him. "Look who it is! What are the odds you and I'd end up in the summer camp?" he asked as Toomes eyed him down, looking at the scar on his forehead, "Relax. This? It's not on you. It's on our, uh... little spider friend and his girlfriend. I've got some boys on the outside who would love to meet them. You know, take a picture, slice their throat, put their heads in a dryer. And I heard a rumor... you know who they are."

Toomes smiled almost imperceptibly. "If I knew who they were, they'd be dead," he said and Gargan stared at him with one eye severely bloodshot.

"Toomes, your family is here."

And Toomes walked away, smiling.

Miss Steel will return.
