Spiderson and the Avengers

Sleepover Pt.2

Dinner was fish and chips. 

Aunt Nat was serving us for some reason (in disguise, of course), and gave Flash the worst portions possible. She also snuck me a few extra chips, knowing that my metabolism would get through the normal serving food before I could get to my lab and finish my meal. I grinned at her and ran to the table with Ned and MJ. We talked for a while, but suddenly, Andrew clapped his hands.

"I have an announcement from Tony Stark. He wants Peter Parker to meet him in his lab before you guys can have a look,"

I stood up, my cheeks reddening, and tried to smile at Andrew before heading out the door and running to my lab. I opened the door, and was met with piles of notes and parts. Whoops. I had forgotten to pack up. Dad smirked at me from a corner of the lab. "Hurry up" He whispered and I ran to help him. A few minutes later, we were ready, and dad sent a message to Andrew saying that the guests could come in now. A few minutes later, my class walked into my lab.

"This is the lab of one of the top interns, they help out Mr Stark and design the Spiderman suits. This intern also helps Mr Stark with some of the other suits, and all requests for new inventions go through him and are selected by him to do with Mr Stark," Andrew explained. I smirked as everyone walked around my lab, staring in awe at my inventions and ideas. Flash attempted to look through my paperwork, but dad was watching him like a hawk, and stood right behind the bully for the rest of the session in the lab. About an hour later, Andrew told us to go back to our rooms. I followed the group back to our rooms, and grabbed my tiny bag. Flash had already questioned me about it and remarked that it was probably because I was so poor. Luckily, it was during dinner, and Aunt Nat didn't hear through the clatter of cutlery in the kitchen. Just as I was turning around, Flash pushed me back.

"Where you going, Parker?" Flash asked, after glancing around the room for cameras. Unfortunately, dad had made the cameras tiny, and Flash didn't realise that, "Sneaking out to steal from Tony are you?"

I raised my eyebrows. He called dad Tony. I blinked a few times, then calmly told him, "I'm going to meet Mr Stark for my job, I intern for him, remember? Since I was here all day, Mr Stark asked me to come tonight and help him with some updates with the Spiderman suit,"

Flash nodded and said, "Take me with you,"

"What?"

"Take me with you. I love Spiderman," he said pointedly. I sighed and nodded, texting dad to tell him that Flash was coming along because he wanted to see Spiderman's suit. We walked towards my lab as slowly as possible, to that dad would have lots of time to hide all the things that could be traced back to me. I opened the lab door, holding my breath, then sighed in relief. It looked like I had given dad just enough time, he was putting the digital screen over half of the lab just as we walked in.

"Don't talk, just sit and be good," Dad commanded, and Flash continued walking. When he saw me, he said, "What are you doing, Parker, I thought T-Mr Stark told you to sit down,"

'Nope, he told you to sit down," I smirked. Flash's eyes narrowed, and he sat down slowly, and dad stared at him disapprovingly. I sat down next to dad and we began working. What seemed like half an hour later, I heard Flash move behind me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, turning around to see Flash moving towards my suit, "Hey, stop!"

"Sorry, it's been a few hours and all you've done is discuss the stuff you're going to do," Flash said rudely, and I grimaced.

"Flash, we weren't discussing, we've finished, and if you were following with what we were saying, you would know that the new suit is going to have a second layer of vibranuim and..." I trailed off, hinting that Flash could prove himself here and now by telling dad what the other improvements were.

"Automatic missile launcher?" Flash finished tentatively.

"Great idea!" Dad exclaimed, typing furiously on his laptop. I shook my head and frowned at Flash.

"You should go and get some sleep," I told my classmate and he walked out the door, taking the hint. When I heard his footsteps echoing away, I took down the screen and ran to my desk, where a pizza was waiting. "Thanks dad," I sighed in relief and began eating. I needed more food than most people so dad got pizza for me to eat after everyone went to bed. Since Flash had come to watch dad work, I couldn't eat until he was gone, so I was really hungry.

"Hey, hey, slow down, you're gonna choke," Dad said gently, "Why'd you bring that bully here? He hasn't done anything good for you, why did u help him?"

"He's just alone, dad, I thought I could give him something that showed that he was recognised in a way," I explained.

"You're far too good for this world, Pete," Dad shook his head and sighed.

The next morning, the class left the compound, and I stayed behind with dad to enjoy a day with dad, Aunt Nat and Uncle Bruce.
