Laughter, chatter, and conversations filled the Avengers' Tower. I was just glad that this wasn't like one of dad's old parties as, here, I actually know people and, instead of skimpily dressed women and shots, we have jazz music and actual smiles. Me and AJ giggled as we sat in the super comfortable seats out on the balcony as the fresh air blew through our hair; of course, the only reason we were sitting out, giggling and having our own conversation was because we were nowhere close to the bar (dad's and Steve's orders towards us kids).

"So, Nate, your secret crush, invited you to hang out?" I asked, smirking.

"Yes, he did," AJ said, before she smirked at me. "But enough about me. What about you? You've been looking at two specific things for a while, but mostly on one specific thing,"

I felt my cheeks turned red a bit by that. Lately, I've been gathering information on two superheroes: Waterstorm and Spider-Man, both in Queens. All I had to work off was the cameras that were dotted around the city, and regardless of the bad quality, I've been able to gathered two fact files on Waterstorm and Spider-Man. I haven't shown anyone about the files yet, but I am keeping their identities to myself, it's not my place to say. What got me surprised was the identities of these two heroes — two classmates of mine, Catherine "Cat" Parker and Peter Benjamin Parker. That, I did not seen coming.

And I'll admit that AJ may be right. Even though I'm gathering information on both heroes, there's just something that draws my attention to Peter Parker. Yes, I've seen them both around school, especially since we're actually on the Decathlon Team together, but I haven't really met them yet or talked to them. I mean, I'm planning to but every time I look at Peter, my cheeks heat up a bit and I feel butterflies in my stomach, and I chickened out. Though Peter is actually really cute, yes, I say it.

"Okay, yes, I am looking at them, but I'm just gathering information," I lied, praying that my best friend can't see my cheeks heating up.

"Right. Are you sure it's not because you like one of them?" AJ asked.

I snort, "Please, I may be gathering information on them, but I don't know their age. Besides, they could be in their thirties,"

She shrugged, but I have a feeling that she's not letting this go till I tell her who I like.

Not happening!

"Anyways, what you got on them so far?" She asked.

I took my phone out and clicked on the clearest image I had of Waterstorm and Spider-Man, no offense to them but in their awful homemade suit. Soon my phone screen was filled with videos, information, and pictures of the two heroes.
