"The Washington Monument is 555 feet, 5 and 1/8 inches tall...Notice how the marble and granite are cut around the stone." The tour guy said as we started to go up

I took out my phone and was about to take a picture of all of us when something from Ned's backpack started to glow.

Then something erupted with light, breaking glass, and the tip of the monument cracks.

We all started to panic.
There was a glowing red crack across the elevator ceiling.

Ned dropped his backpack. The small elevator space now filled up with smoke.

"Oh, my god. Look at the ceiling."
Flash said, his voice shaky, sounding scared out of his mind.

"Just stay calm, everyone, we have to stay calm"
I said. God, I wish I could just change into my suit rn. I was racking my brain if anything I could do from inside here. All my powers are basically to hurt people not really to help...

"Oh, we are all going to die here."
MJ said.

"We're freakin' screwed."
Someone else in the elevator said.

"Okay guys, I know that was scary, but our safety systems are working."
The tour guide said.

"We're very safe here."
The tour guy kept saying to reassure us even though we were barely able to comprehend that we would get out of here alive.

Park rangers started to open the doors to the elevator shaft. The tour guide opens a hatch in the ceiling of the car and looked out

One of the girls; Cindy was pulled out of the elevator first.

"Let's go. Give me your hand"
The park ranger said helping everyone else out one by one. Each time I stepped back, wanting to be last. I levitated above the ground a tiny bit so it was less weight in the elevator.

Once Abe, who sat behind me on the bus, peered down the long elevator shaft scared for me, Ned, Flash, MJ, and Mr.Harrington who were still in the elevator

"This is D.C. Metro police. Identify yourself."
I heard outside.

I wonder if they're talking to peter

"Return to the ground immediately."
I heard and then I immediately knew it was peter.

I stood in the corner of the elevator just trying to figure out a way I could help but nothing came to mind.

"Okay, who's next?"
Mr.Harrigonton asked and  MJ grabbed Mr.Harringtons shoulder preparing herself to climb up but then flash intruded

"Me, it's my turn!"
Flash shoved MJto get out first and doesn't give up the trophy.

"Flash, seriously? What are you doing?"
Ned asked

"Don't worry about the trophy!"
MJ said

Flash climbs through the hatch in the ceiling of the elevator and the elevator started to shake.

Everyone started to panic.

"Stand down! Return to the ground immediately!"

I heard outside loudly. I wasn't panicking I was more just thinking of how we were going to get out of this.

"Return to the ground or we will open fire!"
I heard again from outside...
Parker, you better figure out how to not get killed today

"Take my trophy!"
Flash said handing the trophy to the park ranger
The elevator kept on shaking when flash moved

"This is your last chance!"
I heard outside once more.

I heard a window shatter. Then Peter, in his spiderman suit, shot a strand of web onto our falling elevator.

MJ and Ned yelled.

"I did it! Whoa!"
I heard peter say outside the elevator which made me smile.

Then just as we thought we were ok I saw the doors peter was bracing again, broke. He fell into the plummeting elevator we were in. He shot a web to the ceiling, grabbing tight to the web.

"Ahem. Hey, how you doing? Don't worry about it. I-I got you"
Peter said trying to make his voice sound different so Liz and Mr.Harrigton wouldn't recognize him.

"Yes! Yes!"
Ned said excitedly, making the whole elevator wobble.

"Hey, hey, big guy, quit moving around"
Peter said

"Sorry, sir. So sorry."
Ned said and stopped

With his web attached to the ceiling high above, Peter slowly pulled the elevator up the shaft.
We reached the top floor again and slowly Mr.Harrington climbed out and the other two following.

"Alright. This is your stop."
Peter said as Ned went out and MJ followed.

Peter looked at me like a "Are you gonna get out" look

I waited till MJ was out then made my way out but before I was able to, the ceiling snapped.

I was too caught off guard to do anything.

Peter shot a web to my hand as the elevator fell.

"You're good. You're good- I got you"
Peter said in his normal voice then I thought of something as he started to pull me back up.

He took my hand and then I looked him dead in the eyes.

"Drop me"
I said
Peter scoffed.
"Are you crazy I'm not doing that"

I motioned with my head to my wrist.
"I'm a superhero too, remember?"
I said mouthing to him.

He looked up then to me.
He looked hesitant but then let go of my hand.
I started to fall but I levitated, now able I controlled myself.

I hit my wrists together as my suit covered me.

Peter swung down to me and saw I was ok and sighed with relief.
"You're lucky that I trust you"
Peter said and the webbed himself back up as I followed closely behind.

"Don't worry she's alright!"
I said to reassure my classmates.

Peters web started to snap as he came up to the level. He started to fall then I thought fast and my hands just started to bring him up, almost like how Wanda can do. He and everyone else was as shocked as me.

"I didn't know I could do that.."
I said quietly to myself.
