KAT'S POV

Back at school, the student news plays on a TV in the hall, as I walk around silently, trying to reach my locker to get my backpack and leave here. Too many times people had crowded around me, asking about the elevator scene. I haven't seen Peter or Ned anywhere, which was troubling, however, Harry, Gwen, and MJ were a great help.

"This past weekend, Midtown's Academic Decathlon team defeated the country's best to win the national championship. Later that day, they also defeated death." Jason says.

"Explosion. Sally scream. Flash scream. Everybody screamin', well, except for Kat. But she's fought murder robots before." Abe says.

Charles excitedly jumps up and down. "There were purple lasers and smoke everywhere, It was..." A cat emoji appears over Charles' mouth and a beep is inserted as he swears. "Just like a Bon Jovi concert."

"As you know, we made it out alive, and that's the important thing. I couldn't bear to lose a student on a school trip. Not again." The camera zooms in on Mr. Harrington's face. Not again? That doesn't sound reassuring. "A huge thanks to Spiderman and Kat, because without them, not all of us would be standing here." The camera pans in on me sitting on the curb, alone. "Her guardians must be very proud." 

"Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, thanks to the Spider-Man, and our very own Kat Maximoff," Betty informs.

"Thank you, Spider-Man." Betty and Jason say awkwardly. "Thank you Kat."

"Up next: The Spider-Man mania is sweeping the school. How can you show your spider spirit?" Jason asks, and I tune the voices out. I walk silently and as I reach my locker, and set my books inside. I grab my backpack, and close my locker, as MJ, Gwen, and Harry steps around me.

"Hey guys." I turn and wave.

"Kat, we're going to the lake to swim, you coming?" Harry asks. I think for a second, before shaking my head.

"Sorry guys, no can do." They sigh. "Maybe next time." They leave my locker, and pick up Ned from his locker, as I stare at a text from Tony.

TonyStark: Happy can't pick you up today, better get home by urslef, also get ready 4 a talk about ur powers from Ross. 

KitKatMaximoff: Eh, alright. Ross doesn't scare me.

TonyStark: Bye kid.

KitKatMaximoff: Yeah. Bye. 

I didn't have much patience for Tony, and as I sat outside of the curb, not wanting to use my powers today. Soon Peter comes out, yet detention wasn't over yet.

"Why are you out of here?" I ask, and Peter shrugs.

"I figured we'd better go and find the Vulture guy." Peter says.

"Let's go then. I don't want Ross on my tail." I jump up, and we ride the train over to Peter's house. As we arrive, Peter peeks in the front door, I behind him.

"May?" Peter asks. Peter checks the living room, which looks empty. We walk inside Peter's bedroom. 

"Hey can you leave? I need to change?" Peter asks. I nod quickly, not wanting to intrude, and sat out on the couch, before I decided I could use a trip to the bathroom. I knock on his door.

"Hey Peter, can I use the bathroom?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah, it's next to my room on the left." He replies.

"Thanks." I walk in the direction Peter sent me, and I splash my face with water, while staring at my reflection in the mirror. I wipe my face clean, and walk in his room. Peter is wearing normal clothes over his suit and lounging in his chair, spinning around, slightly red in the face. Probably embarrassment.
