Torn Between Lies

Chapter Twelve~Moving Out

A couple of months have passed since the whole Steve vs. Tony shit, Steve and the other are okay they made sure to contact me. I just wish there was some way I could help them from where I was.

But apparently I'm not the only one like this, Scott's under house arrest as well as Clint more or less. But we all have activities to entertain ourselves, I took up lots and lots of reading, I also took an interest in making video logs.

I take a couple of my books and pack them in a box, yup, we were moving out of the tower. Tony sold it, so I have permission to travel from here to the new upstate facility when the time comes. I look over to see Happy checking over things annoyed.

"Happy? You okay?" I ask.

He looks over and shakes his head "I'm just worried, Peter left New York with his decathlon team and you know I'm responsible so-hey you that box goes out back!" he's probably yelling at one of the moving guys. 

Peter left New York, I feel anxious, epically after that robbery, Peter said they these energized weapons. Maybe I should give him a call, I pick my phone and hold it to my ear letting it ring "Hello?" asked the voice of the teenage spider.

"Peter." I start.

"Ms.Stark!?"

"Peter how many times have I said you can call me Illisha."

"Okay....Ms.Illisha." he tries, well it was better than nothing "I just wanted to check-in, um Happy called you a few hours ago and I know it's really late in DC. But I just wanted to make sure that you were okay-"

I pause hearing a lot of noise coming from the other end of the line "Um Peter?"

"Yeah, Yeah I'm here, um I'm doing great everything's fine, um bye!" and he hangs up on me, I look at my phone and sigh. God, I was acting like such a mom, I am worried about him though, he is just a kid trying to navigate this superhuman world that took even me years to understand.

"Spirit."

"Spirit!"

I wake with a start to find myself in my PJ's on the coach Tony in front of me "You fell asleep working again making another plan for the Internships." he says walking to the kitchen, I rub my head "What can I say I'm dedicated to the kids." 

Tony walks back with a tray of breakfast for the two of us "You already set the table didn't you." I state as he sits down next to me "I did." he says turning to the T.V.

"Breaking news a beam of some sort has hit one of America's most famous structures." says the reporter on the new the Washington monument looked to be cracking, but what was even more shocking was Peter was there!!!

Or Spiderman!

He was climbing up the side of the monument all the way to the top. Pausing, he turns onto his back and clings to the cracked stone. Peter shoots a web against the monument wall and rappels down the strand until his feet lie flat against the glass. Jumping, he swings against the window. The glass cracks slightly.

"Wow, he's really doing it," I say.

Police helicopters approach, guns ready. Peter climbs to the top of the monument and in one moment jumps toward the closest helicopter and extends his web-wings, gliding over the menacing helicopter blades. He shoots a web at the skid, and swings toward the window. The window shatters into pieces as Peter swings in.

Tony and I look at each other, each on pins and needles waiting to see what happens. The reporter comes back on the T.V after getting news from another "This just in, the students inside the monument have been miraculously saved by New Yorks Spiderman."

Tony sighs "Peter did it. I don't know what to say, on one hand, he disobeyed and brought the suit-" 

I smile at Tony "And on the other hand, he saved everyone, Tony all he wants to do is live up to you."
