Peter looked up and saw the sorcerer supreme holding a coffee cup.

“Mr. Dr. Strange, uh hey” he said as he quickly stood up, “why are-- are you visiting someone?”

The doctor took a sip of his mug, “there was a debriefing meeting today- it just ended. Aren’t you supposed to be in school?”

Peter rubbed the back of his head, “Im- im on a field trip. We’re watching uh a video- avenger’s best moments- and i uh, i had to-”

He looked away from Stephen’s studying eyes and did a vague gesture with his hand, “you know...”

Stephen nodded though the younger avenger wasn't looking,

“Well, the sanctums always open, if you ever want to visit… and hang out, as the kids say,” Stephen responded after taking another sip.

Peter’s eyebrows shot up, ”but i- i thought you said none of the avengers were allowed to visit ever,”

“I only told Tony that because I knew he would visit everyday and meddle around just to annoy Wong,” Stephen chuckled.

Peter smiled, “thank you, Doctor Strange. It means a lot,”

“Stephen,” the sorcerer corrected gently, “just call me Stephen,”

Thank you , Peter thought to himself, but I physically can’t do that.

He nodded, “will do,”

Peter rocked back and forth on his heels as he waited for the sorcerer to say something else, or to stop looking at him with his piercing blue eyes.

"Well i- I'll be heading in now" Peter heard himself say, "I think the video's ending and I, you know,"

Stephen nodded, "of course. It was nice talking to you, Peter," he paused then added, "tell Tony I said hi,"

Peter raised his eyebrows the smallest bit, "he wasn't at the meeting?"

Stephen shook his head, "Danvers said he was taking care of Rogers, or the Odinsons, I'm not sure,"

Peter nodded, "alright, I'll see you later, Doctor Strange," he said as he walked towards the theater.

"Stephen."

"Right,"

He entered the room and made his way to his seat.

"You okay?" He heard Ned whisper.

Peter nodded, "yeah I just needed some water, I'm fine,"

He looked over at the screen and was relieved when he saw the captain wrapping up the video. He looked down again, concentrating on the floor.

Peter remained like that, motionless and silent, until the lights flickered on.

The students stood up and made their way outside, excitedly talking about the video, discussing Spider Man more than anyone. Mr. Warren was the last to walk out, not including Peter, MJ, and Ned, and he looked at the shaken boy for a split second before turning his attention the students outside.

"do you, uh, want to talk about it?" Michelle asked, her voice soft.

Peter stood up and slung his backpack over his shoulder, "no, I'm- it's all good,"

He looked up and met her eyes. He wanted to say something- anything. He wanted to tell her how weak he felt, or how he sometimes wished he was never bit... or maybe just tell how pretty she was, regardless of what she wore. But any words he was going to say got lost before reaching his lips.

He looked away and cleared his throat quietly, "let's go?"

The class chattered annoyingly as they walked towards their last designation.

"But they way Doctor Strange and Iron Man obliterated the purple guy on the other planet- that definitely deserved the number one spot"

"No way, did you not see what spider man did? Come on!"

"But Iron Man literally saved our lives!"

"With Spider Man's help"

"And Black Widows"

"And Doctor Strange"

"And Captain Marvel"

Peter rolled his eyes.

With the way Flash was babbling about Spider Man, one would assume he had a celebrity crush or something.

His lips twitched into a smile as he pictured Flash dressed in his merch, making spider man fan accounts, not knowing the man behind the mask was the same one he constantly harassed.

"For the last activity on our agenda," Amber's voice pulled Peter's thoughts from the depths of his mind, "we'll be entering one of the level 1 labs. Please refrain from touching anything unless given direct permission to do so."

Amber led the students into a lab that looked a lot like the ones in his school. Peter wondered if it was reserved for school trips.

After the students sat down in groups of four, Amber began to pass out papers.

"This lab will be quite a simple one," she said as she walked from table to table, "we're going to code and build a robot. Once you're done, you can choose to keep it or leave it here and who knows, maybe Mr. Stark or Dr. Banner will see it."

The class excitedly murmured amongst themselves, wondering who had the biggest chance in impressing the famous Avengers.

"Would Dr. Banner actually see them one day? Isn't he like level 20?" Ned whispered.

Peter shook his head, "no uh the robots don't stay here I think, they take them up to a higher level lab. Mr. Stark likes to see them and Dr. Banner does too,"

Ned's mouth dropped.

Amber made her way to the walk in supply closet, "Mr. Warren, if you don't mind," she signaled to a folder on top of her clipboard, "it's a security measure that we check all the students present have an emergency contact,"

Mr. Warren nodded and made his way to the front desk. He looked through the packets as Amber got the kits needed to the students' activity.

A couple minutes later, Mr. Warren tapped on Peter's shoulder.

"Can I talk to you outside?" He asked, holding the permission packet in his hand.

Peter nodded as he stood up. He glanced at Ned and MJ before following his teacher.

Once they were outside, Mr. Warren turned around and sighed, "Peter, I'm sorry but I can't let you do the lab. And I'm afraid I'll have to call your guardian."
