Hidden in Plain Sight // A Spiderfrost Fanfic

Chapter 26

I'm so excited for Christmas! I hope you lovelies are too because it's such a great season.

Sorry it's a little short, I ran out of time to make it longer.

Have a nice morning, afternoon, or night!

Peter's POV

I hopped out of the vent and landed into my room. I knew there was glitter and glue in the lobby, I asked FRIDAY. I was too lazy to walk, so I was going to swing there, but of course I had to make an entrance.

I unlatched the shield from my back. I grabbed my suit from Wade's backpack. I slipped it on and pulled the soft mask over my face. I reattached the shield.

I opened the window and jumped out. After a few complicated flips and some free falling, I caught myself with a web and landed on the concrete outside the tower.

I strolled confidently into the lobby. People instantly started staring and whispering. I didn't mind them though. I went up to the assistant at the desk.

"One second I'll be right with you," She chirped without looking up. She continued typing.

With a jolt, I realized she was the woman that had checked me in when I was first starting as an intern.

"Okay what do you need-?"

She finally looked up at me and froze.

"S-Spider-man?"

I was paralyzed with a sudden stage fright. I took a deep breath.

"Uh hi," I started lamely. "I need glitter for classifyed superhero reasons."

I leaned in closer, gaining some confidence. "I'm playing pranks on the Avengers," I whispered. She glanced at the shield on my back.

The receptionist giggled quietly. She opened a drawer and handed me three bottles of pink, blue, and white glitter, the exact colors I needed to decorate the shield.

She winked. "I won't tell a soul."

"Thank you," I said, bowing. "You have done me a great service."

I turned and swung out of the room. I heard her laughing as I left. A smile danced on my lips as I scaled the tower. I fell through my open window with the bottles clutched in my hands. I dropped them and tugged off my mask. I quickly changed into pajamas, specifically a Frozen onesie.

Afterwards, I got to work decorating the metal frizbee. FRIDAY coated it with a type of sticky spray and I covered the thing in glitter. The red stripes were covered with pink glitter and the blue and white parts with the corresponding color of glitter. I talked with FRIDAY while I worked, and she even gave me updates about everyone else in the penthouse.

Steve was in his bedroom, so I knew this was my chance to put the shield back. I didn't bother changing into something more sophisticated before sneaking out into the hallway. No one would see me, right?

I crept around to the kitchen and peeked in. It was empty. I sighed, relieved, and quietly placed the shield on the counter.

I turned to leave and came face to face with Steve.

"What did you do to my shield?"

I screamed really high-pitched, like a little girl. I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Uhh nothing?"

"Then why is it covered in glitter?"

I quickly racked my brain for ideas. "I challenge you!" I blurted out.
