Amethyst and the Spider (SEQUEL IS UP!)

I•L•Y

Peters POV:

I was able to get off of the ferry without being noticed. I webbed off and went to go sit on the top of a building. I knew I was in trouble. I could tell by the way he spoke, I've never seen him get that way ever.

The iron man suit flew over to me and hovered.
"Newest news on Peter screws up, I told you stay away from this."
He spoke through the speakers of the suit.

"Is everyone okay?"
I kept my head down. I felt like my dad was giving me a lecture about doing something he specifically told me not to do.

"No thanks to you." He snarled.

I looked at him instantly as the rage grew and spread through my body.
"No thanks to me?" I nearly shouted
"I told you what those guys were doing, but you didn't listen. Nothing would have happened if you just listened to me!"
Now I was shouting. I knew I screwed up but I was trying to stop those bad guys. It's my job, it's what I'm supposed to do.
"If you really cared you'd actually be here right now."

I nearly shit myself right when Mr.Stark stepped outside of the suit. I stumbled back slightly and tried to keep a straight face, but like I said, I tried my best.
"I did listen kid." His words were soft at first.
"Who do you think called the police? I did believe in you. You know, everyone told me that I was crazy to recruit a 14 year old kid."

"I'm 15."
Why don't I ever shut up.

"No this is where you zip it the adult is talking!" He yelled,
I backed up a few steps, but I didn't want to give up. I needed to prove to him that he shouldn't regret recruiting me. I needed to prove myself.

"Mr.Stark I'm sorry."

"But sorry doesn't cut it."
I winced at his words and harshness. But I knew all too well that I deserved it.
"What would you have done if someone got hurt? Huh? That would be on you. And if you got hurt. Well I feel like that's on me. I can't have that on my conscience."

"I k-know I'm s-.sorry." I'm stumbled over words trying to convince him.
"I-... I just wanted to be like you."

He didn't look me in the eye. He kept a straight face. Then looked right at me.
"And I wanted you to be better."

Those words fell from his mouth and I felt like my world fell along with them. All I have ever wanted to to prove myself to him, and now it's ruined.
"Alright, this isn't working. I'm gonna need the suit back."

What?! God no, please no.
"W-What? For how long?"

This time his eyes never left my own and I felt like shrinking down to the depths of Tartarus.
"Forever."

No no no no...
"No, please Mr.Stark! I'm nothing without this suit!"

He stopped me with one swift movement of a hand then pointed.
"If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it.... god I sound like my dad."

Well crap.
"I don't have anything underneath." I mumbled under my breath.

"Okay we can fix that." He was fast and had to hint of regret on his face. Either he really didn't regret this decision or he had a fantastic poker face. Part of me was constantly praying that he just had a good cover up. But I knew.
I knew deep down that this was it.

Meribella's POV:

I have been worried all day, I stood by and watched as the ferry began to sink, and I couldn't do a thing about it. Luckily my dad came in and helped, but where was Peter? He should have been off the boat by now.
Oh god, was he hurt?
He hasn't been seen anywhere. Ned has called and texted me about a million times, asking me if I knew where he was.
Apparently his aunt was freaking out as well.
MJ even texted me, and she wasn't exactly the biggest fans of Peter and Ned.
