Just like you

Chapter 12: I am Spiderman

It was loud, Peter could here it from behind the stage curtain but honestly what did he think The Stark Expo was going to be like? He paced back and forth as Mr Stark rallied up the crowd. "ARE YOU EXCITED!" The crowd roared. " I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Mr Stark stood and spread his arms wide as if soaking up the applause and once it has died down, he adopted his normal tone of voice but he still have the microphone. "As you know I have a special announcement." The crowd seemed to hold it's breathe. Mr Stark gestured Peter forward. "Let me introduce you to Mr Peter Parker, the heir to Stark Industries."

The press leapt up, cameras clicked and flashed. Peter was so very glad that Mr Stark had made him special lenses and earplugs to stop the sensory overload. Because ever since he got his powers his senses had been dialed up loud or continuous noises and flashing lights would overload his brain. 

"Hi, everybody. I'm P-Peter and I-" he looked at the script came up on the TelePrompter and steeled himself. "-And I am Spiderman." There was a moment of complete silence, then. THEN, the whole crowd screamed and roared, leaping up with the press. The cameras clicked and flashed even more fanatically, shouted questions and 'This just in's' filled the giant room. Peter saw Mr Stark's shocked expression and couldn't help grinning, and right on time Mr Stark's 'IronSpider' suit came flying in on a drone being control by Peter's own AI. He had managed to reprogram K.A.R.E.N to be able to do that and the drone flung the suit at the young genius. Peter caught it, and the suit enveloped the boy until a shiny metal Spiderman stood on stage. Peter gave the crowd a little wave.

The crowd roared, screamed and stamped their feet. The 'Spiderman' shot out a web and swung around it, letting them taking selfies, and signing people's Stark Expo tickets. He didn't remember smiling so wide in his life, making people happy and the rush of flying through air with his invention. It couldn't have been better. Finally, Peter swung back to the stage and landed right next to Mr Stark. 

His mentor's eyes sparkled. "Wow. I should really copyright that line." The crowd laughed and started chanting. "SPIDERMAN! SPIDERMAN! SPIDERMAN!" Peter felt himself blushed and pulled off his mask. "Okay, okay. Calm down. I'm not Ironman." He grinned at the man in question, the crowd laughed and cheered, and Mr Stark draped his arm around his shoulders. "Thank you, Spiderman."

Then a reporter yelled out. "Is Spiderman an avenger?" 

Peter watched 'Ironman' with curiosity and excitement, he smiled. "You kidding?" he left a dramatic pause . "Of course!" The crowd yelled and screamed again with enthusiasm while waving Ironman and Stark Industries flags and banners. Mr Stark grinned and whispered to Peter. "I don't think you'll have any trouble with bullies anymore, kid." 

Somehow, Peter didn't so, either.
