Return to Agent S

They were returned to the hotel before anyone noticed anything, and the next morning the class was all packed up ready to leave for Paris and Peter went to check on Ned.

"Hey, man, you sure you're good?" Peter asks his friend.

"Dude, I'm fine. Don't worry. Seriously, getting tranq'd in the neck by Nick Fury, probably the coolest thing to ever happen to me." Ned admits and they do their handshake.

"I'm just happy we're not going to Prague." Peter says when mr. Harrington exits the hotel.

"Good news. We're going to Prague." Harrington tells them and now Peter is confused. "Tour company called. They upgraded us. You should've heard me on the phone with them. I really gave them hell."

"All I heard was crying." Mr. Dell says as Harrington leads them to a bus, and they see Dimitri is their driver.

"Look at our upgraded ride." Harrington says as Peter and Ava only two who know what's happening.

"Guys, what's happening?" Ned asks Ava and Peter.

"Our old boss has now officially hijacked our summer vacation." Peter informs him.

"Awesome." Ned says as he heads to the bus with them right behind him.

Later on the road, Peter decided to search if there are any places in Prague that he can give the necklace to MJ and goes with the Charles Bridge.

Seeing he has some time, he looks at the glasses Tony left and sees a note.

"For the next Tony Stark, I trust you. Say EDITH." Peter reads and the glasses start to glow.

"Stand by for retinal and biometric scan." The glasses say. "Rental and biometric scan accepted."

"Hello?" Peter asks.

"Hello, Peter. I am EDITH, Tony Stark's augmented reality security defense system." The glasses introduce themselves.

"So he made you for me?" Peter wonders.

"No, but you have access to all of Tony's protocols. Would you like to see what I can do?" EDITH asks.

"Sure." Peter agrees, seeing he has time.

"EDITH stands for; Even Dead, I'm The Hero. Tony loved his acronyms." EDITH says and Peter laughs at that.

"Yeah, he did." Peter agrees while laughing at the acronym.

"I have access to the entire Stark global security network, including multiple defense satellites, as well as back doors to all major telecommunication networks." EDITH says and shows everyone's texts and messages as mr. Dell is searching the history of witchcraft.

"Woah." Peter says as he looks around and sees Brad, Flash Ava and MJ's phones. It would seem Flash hasn't heard from his parents, Brad has the same idea as Peter and Ava's phone is encrypted. Peter quickly moves so he doesn't see anything else, fleeing like he's violating privacy with this. But by doing that, he accidentally looks towards Ned and Betty.

'Miss you' - Ned.

'Miss you more.' - Betty.

Peter is seriously confused by that text, but is happy for his friend nonetheless.

-

The bus comes to a stop near a rest stop and everyone gets off.

"Petrol and toilet. Ten minutes." Dimitri tells them and everyone starts to look around and when Peter gets off, Dimitri stops him and nods him to a closed bar.

Peter goes inside and sees an agent. "Hey there." He greets.

"Close the door." She tells him and Peter does so and walks up to him.

"What's this about?" Peter wonders.

"You told Fury Spider-Man couldn't be seen in Europe. So he had some of us get this from storage." She explains and holds out an all too familiar outfit to him.

Peter looks at what she's holding and is shocked at what it is. "Is...is that..?" He doesn't even know what to say and picks up the suit and caresses the fabric of the suit that's eerie familiar to him.

It's his first suit. Agent S' suit. And his backup one that Ava turned into her Agent T suit.

"Thanks." He tells the woman when the door opens and Brad comes in and Peter jumps to make sure he didn't spot the suit.

"Sorry, I thought this was the bathroom." Brad says confused to what he's seeing. But seeing it can be taken anyway he wants, it being Peter in a dark room with an adult, he takes a picture on his phone and starts leaving and she pulls out a gun.

"Don't shoot him!" Peter warns her and grabs his suit before leaving to stop him. "Brad, that was not what it looks like."

"Look, Peter, I'm not here to judge your life choices, dude. If you wanna hook up with some random European chick during a school trip. That's on you." Brad states.

"How did that look anything like that?" Peter asks him.

"I can't pretend I didn't see what I saw. I know you're trying to get with MJ, it's obvious. But I like her too." Brad says and that was obvious to Peter. "She deserves the truth." He says and walks off and bumps into Ava as she approaches Peter.

"What's up?" Ava asks.

"I may have lost any chance at getting with MJ thanks to Fury." Peter catches her up and she smiles while taking a bite out of the chocolate she bought.

"I don't think so." Ava says before holding up Brad's phone she swapped with her own when she ran into him.

Peter looks at the phone and smiles at how well she did that. "I have taught you well. But how do you plan on getting that back to him without him knowing?"

"Leave that to me." Ava tells him.

-

Later, Brad tries searching through his photos and it's gone thanks to Peter using EDITH to delete any evidence that it existed and Ava slipped it back in his pocket and got her's back when they were boarding the bus.

"This is so weird. It was right here on my phone." Brad tells MJ.

"Yeah. Weird." MJ says, not believing him but looks to Peter who's still wearing the EDITH glasses and was looking at them and hides and sighs in relief, knowing they did it.

-

They make it to Prague and to a classy hotel.

"Everyone get settled in, rest up. Because tonight, big surprise, is Prague's annual carnival of lights." Harrington says when Peter's phone goes off and he leaves the group to answer it.

"Parker, it's Hill. There's an earpiece with your guys' suits. Put it on and await further instructions." Maria tells Peter.

"Copy that." Peter says and hangs up for Ava to approach him.

"Okay, what's the plan?" Ava asks.

"Our suits have earpieces. We put them on and wait instructions later." Peter recaps.

"Why can't we go a week without a new threat, new monster, or just about anything?" Ava wonders.

"Well, it's the life we signed up for." Peter reminds her and looks to their class. "But they didn't sign up for this."

"Yeah, Fury isn't ahead on putting their lives in danger. But you know he wouldn't just let them die." Ava replies knowing Peter's now worried for the class.

Peter was talking to Nick and Beck about what they're going to do and Ava learned they have their own rooms making it easier to sneak away, but she stayed to help with an alibi to where he's gone.

"Parker!" Nick gets Peter's attention. "That thing is going to be here in a few hours. Are we boring you?"

"He's not bored. He's just thinking about how you kidnapped him." Beck defends Peter.

"He had obstacles stopping him from what he does best. I removed them." Nick defends his actions.

"And they still won't evacuate the city." Maria tells them.

"Idiots." Nick sighs. "So what's the plan, Parker?" He asks the kid.

"Me and Agent T will be in the cathedral tower, keeping watch for the fire Elemental." Peter puts a plan together. "Once it shows up, I will radio you. Then mr. Beck, Ava and I-"

"My name's Mysterio." Beck tells him, liking the name they gave him.

"That's when Mysterio, Ava, and I will move in." Peter tells Nick.

"Peter, listen to me. The best hope we have, the only hope, is to stop it here now. No matter the cost." Beck warns Peter. "Maneuver it away from civilians if you can, but most important, keep it away from metal. If it gets too big, title be able to draw power from the Earth's core. After that, there's no way to stop it."

Peter looks between Beck and Nick and is just annoyed by their actions. "Listen, my friends are here, and I can't help but think we're putting them in danger."

"You're worried about us hurting your friends?" Nick asks him and walks up to him. "Stark gave you a multibillion dollar A.R. tactical intelligence system, and the first thing you do with it is pull pranks on your friends. It's clear to me that you've spent so much time away from your usual Agent S business, you are no longer that agent that could do everything and anything in a millisecond." He states and that comment hurts.

Peter knows he's not who he used to be, because back then he never saw things from the normal point of view. He never saw how people felt when monsters and aliens come because he was on the safe zones and was able to stop them.

Leaving Agent S behind helped him become more human.

Maybe he became so human he's no longer Agent S.

Maybe he's not ready to be brought back into this.
