The Aftermath || PETER PARKER [2]

[05]: Damage Control

2023 ― Venice, Italy
"Another person touches that door and the three of us are going to attend another funeral."

"Yes, mom... yes, I promise I'm okay." Amaya Rogers said into her phone. Their class was back at the hotel, she was in her regular clothes and she at first activate the steam that Tony had programmed into her suit so that it would dry itself, and her bracelet was safely back on her wrist, and she was back in her regular clothes.

"No one saw you?" Katherine asked on the other line.

"Of course people saw me... but they only know me as, 'The Sapphire Witch' the Avenger, they don't know who I actually am." She said.

"You see why I always tell you to be prepared?" Katherine said and Amaya rolled her eyes.

"Yes, Mom... I get it now. But hopefully, that was a one-time thing. I'm on vacation and I was really having a lot of fun in Venice seeing where you grew up." Amaya said and Katherine smiled.

"You're still going to have a good trip, honey. One set back won't ruin the whole thing. I promise." Katherine said.

"Princess, do you know the guy that you were with? And was Peter there too?" She heard her dad's voice on the other side.

"Yeah... he was, but he didn't have his suit, so he stayed more in the background. But I don't know who that was. His powers reminded me a lot of Doctor Strange though." Amaya said.

"That's what we were thinking too," Katherine said.

"Peter and I were trying to help him, but...-" Amaya was cut off by hearing her mom yelling.

"...-Christian Giovanni Rogers, stop making your brother disappear and reappear!" Katherine yelled which made Amaya laugh.

"Come on, Mom... it's like reverse peek-a-boo. Besides, he loves it." Amaya heard in the background which made her roll her eyes, because she doesn't think that's at all what it's like.

"Um, well... I just wanted to call you guys before you saw the news report, but that didn't happen, and I have to go, so I love you guys." Amaya said.

"We love you too, princess," Steve said before Amaya ended the call and joined back with Peter who had just gotten off the phone with his Aunt May.

"I think my Aunt and Happy are dating." He said to her, which made her laugh and she nodded her head.

"Yeah, I think you're right." She said as their class and their two chaperones were now all closely watching the news report, even though they had no idea what they were saying because they were reporting in Italian but Amaya knew every word.

"Who is that guy?" Amaya heard Betty ask.

"He's like Iron Man and Thor rolled into one," Brad said.

Then Flash scoffed. "He's alright. He's no Spider-Man." He said and Amaya thought it was crazy how Flash really loved Spider-Man but he was such a dick to Peter... if only he knew.

"What is it with you and Spider-Man?" MJ asked. She was sitting on the bottom of the staircase and Peter and Amaya were a bit behind the staircase because they were on separate phone calls.

"What? He's just awesome, okay? He protects the neighborhood, and, you know, he's inspiring. He inspires me to be a better man." Flash said and then he noticed Amaya and Peter walk up from behind the staircase. "What's up, dickwad? Thought you drowned." Flash said and Amaya rolled her eyes.

"How unfortunate that you didn't," Amaya said back to him.

"Sounds like his name's Mysterio," Brad said and Amaya rolled her eyes and read the heading of the news report.
