Theo tapped his foot anxiously, rubbing his arms through his jacket. His head turned at the sound of footsteps to his left, but it was just some guy making his way to his car.
The boy was standing in the dark corner of a parking garage where Spiderman had told him to meet. Apparently, Aaron Davis's car had been tracked to this location, so the plan was to wait for him to come back and then interrogate him.
Theo sighed, thinking about all the better things he could be doing instead of secretly missing school so that he could track down illegal weapons dealers with Spiderman.
Just as Theo was about to turn around and leave, a gust of wind came from behind, along with the quiet sounds of someone landing on their feet. "Going somewhere?" Peter's voice asked, causing Theo's breath to catch in his throat.
"No," He answered through his mask as he turned back around. Peter eye lenses dilated a bit, "Right." Just then, the small spider symbol on his chest popped out and levitated in the air.
"Woah, what the-" Theo ducked as the spider drone swooped over his head and out of the garage, "That was there the whole time?!" He asked, pointing at the now empty emblem in Peter's chest.
"Yeah, I found out during Washington," The boy explained as he scanned the entire garage through the drone's eyes. His eyes widened suddenly, "His car's here. On the third level. Come on."
Theo followed obediently as the vigilante located the stairs. It was clear that Peter still had his reservations about him; after all, they had been playing a game of cat and mouse ever since they'd known each other. Even though their teaming up was his idea in the first place, he didn't feel fully comfortable.
Peter made it up the stairs at lightning speed as Theo fell behind, practically panting by the time they made it up to the third floor. "What the fuck," He panted, resting his hands on his knees as Peter looked around for Aaron Davis's car.
"Sh! Look! That's him!" The vigilante pointed to a man on the other side of the parking garage. He unlocked his vehicle and lifted the trunk, setting down a bag of groceries in the back. The drone flew forward just as Peter darted forward, shooting a web that trapped Aaron's hand to the trunk. Theo ran after him to catch up.
"Hey!" Spiderman shouted, startling Theo more than it startled Aaron himself, "Remember me?" His voice had suddenly changed to a lower, grainier pitch as if he were trying to be intimidating.
Aaron held out a hand as Spiderman advanced towards him. "I need information and you're gonna give it to me now," Peter demanded firmly. Theo stood behind him silently, unsure of what to do when interrogating someone. He reluctantly crossed his arms, settling on just standing behind Peter like one of those brooding bodyguards.
"Okay, just chill," Aaron said, but Peter was having none of it.
"Come on!" He demanded once more, lenses dilating in anger.
