After she had gotten finished talking to Tony, Carrie had found herself watching the news over dinnertime since there was nothing else on TV she found interesting to watch right now.

The first story was about a 7 year old little boy who got cured of cancer, which she found to be very heartwarming, she was really happy for him, now he can go on and grow up because no child deserves to go through something like that.

Another was about a 23 year old woman who raised 100,000 dollars for sick children at a children's hospital. What an amazing woman, she thought.

And last but not least, a story report about Spider-Man. Tonight he just saved an infant from a burning building and returned it to it's mother when he got out.

Carrie smiled as she heard this news, the fact that he would risk himself to save people's lives no matter how dangerous the situation is or no matter how high the circumstances were really made her admired and highly respect him.

To her, he's one of the most interesting heroes she's ever seen and couldn't wait to have a full conversation with him one day as he was interesting to her. She wanted to ask him what it was like being a hero, what it was like to fight crime and what was it like to receive unfair criticism from other people who couldn't stand him for some odd reason.

She watched as the woman hugged him and thanked her for saving her child, he tells her, "No problem ma'am, I'm glad this little guy is safe and not hurt. It's miracle that he came out with no injuries, you were so brave, weren't you, little guy?"

This definitely put a smile on the telekinetic's face as she thought this was really adorable that he also loved kids as well. She still didn't see a reason anyone would hate him.

After they had showed Spider-Man on TV, J. Jonah Jameson, much to her disgust. She watched him rant and bash Spider-Man calling him a fraud, a menace, claims of him "making it difficult" for police officers and their jobs, calling him a criminal and all these awful names. This was usual and typical for him to do this so it was nothing new.

Carrie didn't know why she was still watching this man right now, he was just spewing hate and toxicity out of his mouth over someone who'd risk his life and bust his butt to save other people's lives no matter how what the circumstance were. She thought his hateful obsession with Spider-Man was ridiculous, so she immediately changed the channel to something else, not wanting to hear his nonsense anymore.

She just didn't understand what did Spider-Man do to make Jameson have so much hate towards him.

Honestly, if she was him, she would give him a huge piece of her mind but he seems to not Jameson no mind.

"Are you alright, Carrie?" JARVIS asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay" but she obviously wasn't.

This was another thing she was afraid of when thinking of becoming a hero like Spider-Man, people like J. Jonah Jameson constantly bashing her no reason other than for doing her job, accusing her of such things that is far from who she is, like when he called Spider-Man a "criminal", which made no sense to her because last time she checked, criminals breaks laws and hurt people and that's not who Spider-Man was.

"I don't know if this is the case but it seems that the things that Mr. Jameson has said on television has upset you"

"Yeah, something like that, I will admit. He does seem to be obsessed with hating Spider-Man to the point where he has to spread lies about him and I will never understand why because there are actual criminals in New York doing actual horrible crimes, making it harder for people to feel safe. Why isn't that all that hate he has towards Spider-Man going towards them? It doesn't make any sense"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to that either, I suppose you have to go up there to his office and ask him yourself?"

"Maybe one day, but I have much bigger things to do than to waste my time with him"

She remembered she was supposed to call Tony back after she was finished dinner. She picked up her phone and dialed his number, it rang a few times but switched to his voice mail.

"JARVIS, could you get in contact with Tony?"

"He seems to have left his phone in his room" He told her, Carrie then got really worried.

"What? Then where is he?! What is he doing?"

"He's busy playing pool with Rhodey and Steve downstairs in a room while the rest of the team is at a bar"

Carrie sighed in relief that nothing happened to Tony nor the team but she was a bit disappointed that he forgot that he was supposed to talk to her later on.

"What? I thought he was asleep, he sounded exhausted when I was talking to him on the phone"

"Well, he doesn't seem to be exhausted now. Would you like me to try other ways to-"

"No, I mean.... No it's okay, I don't want to bother him, so I might as well just wait till tomorrow to talk to him, I mean, it's a school night, right? He would want me to be in bed at this hour, so I might as well just do that".

Carrie then found herself to be yawning, it was getting pretty late and she couldn't just stay up late on a school night.

She understood that Tony wasn't always gonna answer his phone, especially on an important mission and being with his friends but it hurt her that he was so busy hanging out with them at this time that he forgot to she was supposed to call him.

Hopefully tomorrow he'll be able to talk to her when he's not busy on the mission but since it'll be all day tomorrow, it was gonna take a while for that to even happen.

Meanwhile back at the hotel, Tony and his team were head to bed, as they also had to get up early in the morning to get back to work on the mission.

Tony had then realized that he forgot his phone in his room and Carrie was supposed to call him after dinner, so he ran to his room faster than the others did and checked his phone, she had called him hours ago and he didn't even answer. He looked at the time and saw it was 12:00am in the morning. She goes to bed at 11pm since it was her curfew and a school night, so she's fast asleep by then and he didn't wanna wake her up from it.

He felt horrible that he didn't answer her call to him sooner and hoped that she isn't mad at him about it nor left her worried, So instead he texted her to let her know that he was alright and that he was sorry for not answering her call to him.

Knowing Carrie, she's probably the most forgiving and understanding person he's ever known, so hopefully she'd understand more when she sees his text in the morning. In the meantime, he had to get some shut eye so he could wake up in the morning to find those two idiots that him and his team are hunting down and stop them from succeeding from their plan.
