Living With the Starks (IronDad Oneshot Book)

Who Is He? Pt. 2: #takeabreaksm

Peter is stressing out over finals...

With his busy life, it felt like there was never enough time to study for finals, do patrol, Decathlon, and do everything else he had to get done. Peter was stressed.

So, he came up with a solution. He grabbed a black backpack (different than the one he used for school) and put his study material and work in there. Then, he slipped it on his back and went out for patrol.

When not busy and just sitting on rooftops, he pulled out his books and took notes. He had to get A's, it was just the standard he held himself to.

This continued for days, and people started to notice. Pictures of Spider-Man reading textbooks and taking notes in a composition notebook. Of him swinging around in the backpack and thinking intensely with a pencil in hand.

People started tweeting and posting about it, commending him for still taking his education seriously as Spider-Man, as well as for still going out for patrol every day when he clearly needed to study for whatever testing he had coming up. But they also felt bad, and wanted him to not feel pressured to go out and be Spider-Man every day when he clearly had to work.

Soon, a hashtag started floating around, it's use expanding rapidly. Exploding throughout social media.

#takeabreaksm

People were tweeting Spider-Man all the time telling him he didn't need to do patrol every day.

Peter thought it was nice that they cared so much. But not doing patrol? No. It would make him feel awful to take a break when someone might need his help.

He decided to send the people an official message about it.

@Spider-ManOfficial

Y'all keep telling me to take a break, but trust me, I'm good. Studying will not stop me from making sure people stay safe. :)#takeabreaksm

He posted it, and it went around pretty fast. People seemed to still want him to rest, but respected his decision. It was a selfless one, after all.

Peter tweeted something else unrelated afterwards:

@Spider-ManOfficial

You guys also keep asking me if I'm coming to storm Area 51. Idk man, I've got, like, serious Alien PTSD from Thanos lmao

Send Tweet.

Peter checked his StarkWatch. It was time for patrol.

Peter slipped into his Spider-Man suit, grabbed the backpack, and hopped out the window of his room in the tower.

He swung from building to building, landing flawlessly on the room of one after a few minutes. He looked over the city. No one in danger.

He jumped to the next rooftop, then the next. Finally, he found the ideal spot to watch over where he had a view of multiple streets.

Since he really only needed his ears and Karen to identify danger, he pulled his textbooks out of his bag and began to take notes for his history final coming up.

After a few minutes, a voice rang out. "Hey! Spider-Man!"

Peter looked up, confused. He didn't sense any danger.

"Spider-Man! Down here!"

Peter looked down to the sidewalk to see two teenage girls waving at him. He smiled under the mask and waved back. "Hey, ladies!"

"Spider-Man, what are you studying for?" one of them shouted back.

"Finals," he responded, standing up, leaving his backpack sitting there.
