Closer Than You Think

3rd POV

Peter went home from the internship feeling happy that he was able to help fix Pepper and Tony's relationship.

Tony was the most amazing person ever and he was lucky to know him personally and he would do anything to help him.

"Hey Pete, you're home early," May said as Peter walked through the front door.

"Yeah, someone blew up the lab, so we were let off early," Peter lied.

"Oh my God! Are you hurt?" May asked worriedly scanning him for any injuries.

"No, I'm fine, " Peter said, he felt bad for lying but he couldn't tell her the truth.

"Be careful okay, I have the night shift so I'll see you tomorrow, I left money on the table for you to order what you want for dinner and I made a snack for you," she said and kissed his forehead before leaving for work, she was already so late.

Peter did his homework and went on patrol for a bit before going to bed. He decided to call it an early night because he was still tired from the party the previous night.

The next morning when he woke up May was asleep since she got home late the previous night. Peter had cereal for breakfast and went to school.

He was in the hallway talking to Ned when he saw two guys walking in, he recognized them as some of the guys he was spying on from the night that he got thrown into the lake.

He pulled Ned into another corridor and told him to be quiet. Peter watched as they walked past him and sighed in relief.

"What the hell dude?" Ned asked.

"Those two guys were some of the people I spied on the night of the party," Peter said.

"Oh, why did you hide though, I mean you were wearing a mask, I doubt that they would have recognized you," Ned said with a shrug.

"Precautions, " Peter responded and started walking away.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"To follow them Ned," Peter said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"But we have class now and Mr. Stark told you to stay out of it," Ned replied.

"I can't just let those guys on the loose. I have to see what they're up to, I have to prove myself to him," Peter said before sneaking out of the school and changing into his suit.

Peter followed them into to a warehouse.

"The boss rented out this warehouse, we will keep the weapons here after we get them from that ship." one of the guys said.

"It's in a pretty isolated place too, boss will be happy when he comes to check it out, let's go for now, no one would come here until tomorrow anyway," the other man said and they both walked away.

Peter tried his best to make it out before the door shut but he couldn't, he was stuck there. He tried breaking the door but he was unsuccessful.

He made a hammock of webs and lay down there, he was bored put of his mind. After many unsuccessful tries of escaping he decided to try to entertain himself.

He didn't know how was getting out of there, but he had to get out soon, he had school and the internship to go to in the evening. He couldn't be late.

He considered asking the suit lady  to contact Tony to help him but he left that as his absolute last option. Tony would get mad at him after he specifically told him to leave those guys alone.
