First Dates
At school, Peter has gotten though the first few days easily. He and Ned became quick friends, Gwen hangs out with them most times. Along the socially awkward girl Michelle Jones Peter couldn't figure out how to talk to her so just stuck with his other two friends. He also learnt Michelle doesn't have many friends and doesn't open to most people is trying to figure out what Peter's hiding.
Peter learnt that he had to be extremely careful around her so she doesn't accidentally discover he's a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent just trying to be a normal kid.
A few months has passed and January has just passed, and today was just another normal day at school, Peter's been told there was an update on Norman and that he had to be ready when the fair comes into town tomorrow.
Also, everyone's been trying to get Peter to see if Gwen would go on a date with him. To get the (as Natasha, Clint, Fitz, Simmons, and even Coulson put it) "high school girlfriend experience" and Peter doesn't know how to ask someone out.
"Don't sweat it. You just walk up to the person, and ask them." Ned tells him, and sadly it's the best advice he's gotten from anyone. "That's terrible advice." Michelle tells them and they look to her. "How long were you listening?" Peter asks her.
"Ever since you walked through the school doors." She states and Peter can't believe how easy she could hide from his six sense. Speaking of six sense, his goes off and senses Gwen's about to slip walking over to them.
Peter quickly spins and grabs her before she could fall and Peter quickly grabs her food back on her tray. "Wow. Was that your Peter-Tingle?" Gwen asks him. "My Peter what?" Peter asks her, not knowing what she's talking about.
Gwen takes her food and sits down. "Your six sense you said you had when we first met. So I just call it your Peter Tingle. Easier to remember it."
Gwen says as she starts eating. "Please don't call it that. It sounds super lame when you say that. It's a gift and saying it like that makes it sound ridiculous." Peter says as he sits between her and Ned.
"So...Gwen, I was wondering...if you'd maybe like to...go somewhere...with me?" Peter asks her and Ned smacks his face for his friend. "What?" Gwen asks confused. "He's asking you out, Gwen." Michelle tells her.
"Oh...really? You wanna-you sure?" Gwen asks him. "Yeah, I am." Peter states to her. "Okay, well, if you wanna meet up at that festival tomorrow, I was gonna go alone, if you wanna go with me." Gwen says to him. "That sounds great." Peter says, smiling.
"See you then." Gwen says and finishes eating and leaves. "Thanks for that, Michelle." Peter tells her smiling. "Well, it was better than watching you struggling to get the words out." Michelle states and goes back to her food. "What about you, Ned, you going tomorrow?" Peter asks him friend. "Nah, I'll watch it on tv, but have fun on your date." Ned says and Peter realizes what he did.
The next day, Coulson and Melinda May are in a S.H.I.E.L.D. truck waiting for something as Peter is recon while on his date. "You nervous, kid?" Coulson asks Peter through the com link. "Yeah, kinda am. But that's normal, right?" Peter asks them.
"You've got nothing to worry about. If we see something, just get her safe, get into your suit and help us take down the Oscorp tech theif." May says into the speaker. "Like she said, keep calm. I'm sure she's just as nervous." Coulson says, trying to reassure Peter.
Gwen comes up to Peter and taps his shoulder. "Hey. Who you talking to?" Gwen asks him. "I heard you talking a few steps back." Gwen states. "I...was just talking to myself." Peter tells her. "Pete, can I ask you something? And I'm pretty sure I know the answer. Is this your first date?" She asks him. "All honesty, yes. I haven't been around many people my age, I was homeschooled most of my life." Peter tells her as the festival is happening.
They just start walking around and seeing what's happening though the crowds. "I just wanted to say, you look nice." Peter tells her. "Thanks, I just put this on, I didn't wanna make that big of a fus for something like this." She states regarding the crowds and trash everywhere. "Yeah, I'd should've got cliche and bought you dinner." Peter realizes.
Inside the van, they're listening to everything they're saying and don't know what they're hearing. "Please tell me this isn't flirting. Did you not teach him how to act around girls?" May asks Coulson. "Hey, the kid can disarm a nuclear bomb, while telling you the alphabet backwards. I didn't think it was necessary to teach him how to act on a date at the time." Coulson tells her. "Really? Or is it because you have no idea how to act around girls either?" May asks him as they go back to watching the scanners.
Peter is walking around with Gwen as she gets a corn dog as his six sense goes off screaming. Inside the van, the scanners pick up something heading to the carnival. "Coulson, we've got something." May tells him as they look at the screen.
Peter looks around and sees something flying towards the carnival. "Hey, is that one of Stark's?" Gwen asks him and Peter knows it's him. Norman. Peter thinks. "Gwen, we've gotta go." Peter tells her. "What? Why? I thought you were having a good time." Gwen asks him. "I've...got a tingle about it." Peter tells her and she looks at the glider closing in.
"Peter, get her out of there fast. He's closing in on you all!" May yells into his com and Peter drags Gwen away as the glider and flier comes up and people start cheering. "Peter, what's going on?" Gwen asks as the glider turns back around and flies around the carnival and throws a small bomb at the balcony holding the Oscorp board of directors and several S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best agents.
The bomb flies under them and explodes. "Okay, always trust your tingle." Gwen realizes as she and Peter run for it up a few flights of stairs.
"Okay, get a safe distance away, Gwen." Peter tells her.
"Where you going?" Gwen asks her.
"My uncle's in there. I gotta keep him safe." Peter says, half lying as he runs into the crowd and starts taking off his clothes to reveal his stealth suit.
The balcony starts falling apart as people are running underneath it. Peter sees them and shoots his webs and pulls them away from the falling debris. Norman comes flying back towards the directors on the balcony. "Out, am I?" He asks and he throws a bomb that kills them all. On a rooftop, Gwen makes her way out as Norman flies up revealing his all green suit and goblin like mask.
"Hello there." He says and she screams and Peter sees him.
"This is Agent S, I'm going in!" Peter yells as he swings in and kicks Norman off of the glider and lands on the roof. The glider goes out of control and starts running into rides and there's someone stuck on a ride and it's falling apart.
"Uh, oh." Peter says as he leaps to swing over and the problem escalates as the Ferris wheel cart comes loose and Peter leaps and catches it. "Oh, this is extremely heavy." Peter states, never lifting something while swinging like this.
Norman stands up as S.H.I.E.L.D. men approach him. "Hold It right there!" One of them say to him.
"I surrender." Norman says and they start shooting and his suit is taking the damage. Peter leaps in front of them as Norman goes to punch him and Peter stops the punch.
"Nice right hook, here's my left hook." Peter asks as he punches Norman and he goes flying backwards.
The glider comes back to Norman and he gets back on and activates the weapons.
"Oh, come on!" Peter says as he starts running to avoid the machine guns from the glider.
Peter shoots a web and takes off above the carnival. Norman throws more bombs around and one hits below Gwen's rooftops and it starts caving in. "No!" Peter shouts as he starts leaping to save her. Then Norman comes in behind him and slams him into the building and slams his face and mask a few times before letting him fall.
"Peter, you doing okay?" May asks him from the van.
"As far as first dates go. I would say pretty good." Peter states making a joke as he sees Gwen falling and grabs her on a web. "Hang on." Peter tells her and Norman turns to face back at him. "Look out!" Gwen yells to him as Peter webs his face.
Gwen starts slipping on the web and Peter webs what he can from the glider and pulls to break it as Norman looses control and flies off. "We'll meet again, S.H.I.E.L.D.!" Norman cries as he makes his getaway.
Peter sees Gwen falling and grabs her. "You're okay. I got you." Peter says as he pulls her back up. "Now, I'd get out of here if I were you. There's bound to be someone worried." Peter says, trying his best to disguise his voice as he leaps down to the others. Gwen watches him swing away.
"Looks like you're full of surprises, Peter." Gwen says, knowing exactly who he is, easily.
Coulson meets up with him. "So, was it nice while it lasted?" Coulson asks Peter about his date.
"It was nice, I suppose." Peter says as Fury approaches them. "So, what happens now?" Peter asks him. "We wait for him to show up again. Now he knows you're stronger than him, he might be gone for some time." Fury tells them. "There's no telling what he has planed next." He states and they all get to work.
Back at Norman's household, he's taking a drink as he hears somebody laughing. "Somebody there?" He asks looking around.
"Somebody?" The voiceasks Norman.
"Who's out there?" He keeps asking seeing he's here alone. "
Don't play innocent with me, Norman. You've known all along." The voice states and Norman keeps looking for someone.
"Where are you?" He asks the voice. "Follow the cold shiver running down your spine." The voice states and Norman looks around. "I'm right here!" The voice yells and Norman looks into a mirror.
"I don't understand." He states.
"Did you think it was all a coincidence?" The reflection asks him. "So many good things happening to you. All for you, Norman." He states to Norman.
"What do you want?" He asks himself.
"To say what you won't. To do what you can't. To remove those in your way." He states holding the newspaper. Norman looks to see it's about the board members death. "The board members. You killed them." Norman realizes.
"WE killed them." The voice tells Norman.
"We?" Norman asks.
"Remember your little accident in the lab all those months ago?" He asks Norman.
"The super solder serum we were developing." Norman realizes.
"Bingo. Me. Your greatest creation. Bringing you what you've always wanted. Power beyond your wildest dreams, and it's only the beginning." He states to Norman.
"But now there's someone who does seem to have a soldier serum. Because he broke both our indestructible suit and glider." He states to Norman.
"That child with S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Norman asks him. "That child seems to have somehow got his hands on a super serum himself. Imagine what could happen if we got to him. Or imagine if he joined us." He states to Norman. "It's not like he's gonna he turned to easily." Norman states.
"Then we strike at what he cares about...S.H.I.E.L.D." He says to Norman and laughs maniacally.
