Nat's POV
I glanced at Clint. It had been a hour since the kid—Peter I guess—had texted back.

Clint was keeping his distance from me after I had tackled him earlier, but I could see he was worried.

"You guys are acting weird. Anything up?" Tony asked sitting down with his..... I had actually lost count how many coffees he has had today. Bruce would know.

Neither of us answered because our phones finally went off.

Peter
Hey guys! Sorry about leaving you on the read

Merida
What were you doing?

Kim Possibly
Yeah. You left for an hour.

Peter
Homework?

Kim Possibly
Cinnamon roll, if you wanted to lie you shouldn't have put a question mark after that.

Peter
Cinnamon roll???

Merida
Bwahahahahaha

Nat's gone soft

Kim Possibly
Say that to my face bird brain.

Merida
KID HELP

I DID IT

Peter
Bad choice my dude

Kim Possibly
I didn't kill him kid. For your sake.

Peter
Thank you!

UwU

...

So where is he?

Merida
I'm currently hiding in a closet

Peter's POV
I couldn't help but laugh at Merida's response. I was also relieved they dropped the subject of my little tiny lie.

'They couldn't know what I was really doing anyway' I thought as I pocketed my phone.

Adding pockets to my spider suit was the best thing I've ever done.

I heard laughter come from the streets below me, and I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks.

Did I really just say that out loud?
Oops.

I hope no one got that on recording. Then again if Flash heard Spider-Man say that he'd probably take up sewing.

I laughed again at the image of Flash holding a sewing needle and tread.

Anyway the reason why I couldn't reply to the group chat was some thug thought he could steal a limited edition Star Was toy from a kid. Wrong move, buddy. He was thankfully now in police custody and I had bought the kid safely to his parents.

I decided to check the group chat again as I sat down on the top of Brooklyn Bridge.

Kim Possibly
Good, stay there.

Merida
Yes m'lady

Peter
Lol.

You two are dorks.

Merida
Kid, no matter what she tells you, she rocks the emo girl look.

Peter
Really?!

Merida
Yep. Black rimmed glasses without the lenses—because she doesn't need them—and everything.

Kim Possibly
Kid, are you sure you don't want me to kill him? You can find other friends.

Peter
Murder is never the answer.

Merida
Right! Murder is the question!

Kim Possibly
And the answer is yes

...

Right kid?

Peter
Nat, NO!

Kim Possibly
Nat, YES!

Merida
Nat! Please no!

Kim Possibly
Then run.

Nat's POV
I glared at Clint who was staring at me. He glanced down at his phone then up at me again.

"Nat, you have to admit it. You do not look that intimidating with those glasses." He said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes before taking my phone back out of my hoodie pocket.

Peter's POV
I rushed passed multiple people in an attempt to get home on time. I was almost late, but I made it to the apartment to find no one home.

I set down the grocery bag on the kitchen and started to clean up the apartment.

May was gonna be so surprised.

I smiled to myself as I made dinner for us. With the house cleaned and dinner made she could relax the rest of the day.

If you're wondering why I'm preparing a surprise like this, she was working double time a lot lately, and I had news.

"Peter! I'm home! I got you something." May said, I could tell she was having a bit of trouble unlocking and opening the door.

I made a mental note to fix that next.

"Hey May! I- I got something for you too!" I said struggling to put the food on the plates fast enough.

"Peter, could you help me with this door?" She asked, I could hear her jiggling the doorknob in a attempt to get it open.

"One second, May!" I yelled, rushing to the door.

I quickly opened the door and took her bags.

"Thank you." She said, she had a tried but excited look.

I rushed into the kitchen and set the bags down as Aunt May took off her coat and boots. I rushed to her and put my hands over her eyes when she was done.

"Peter!" She exclaimed with a giggle. She batted at his hands.

"Hey! No peaking! I got a surprise!"

"Alright." She said in mock defeat.

I glided her into the kitchen before removing my hands so she could see.

"Peter!" She gasped. "Now if only I could get you to clean that room of yours!"

I chuckled at her surprise. Of course I took care of my room, but the mess helped give me lots of last-minute-hiding-spots for my suit.

"May, I have some news!" I said, I could hardly wait to tell her my plan. She's been encouraging me to follow though with it ever since school started in September. It was October.

"Good news, I'd hope. Or is that why you cleaned the house?" She asked in a playful tone. I pulled her chair out for her and she sat down. I quickly did the same. I leaned towards her.

"I'm signing up for the internship!" I whisper-shouted. Her eyes grew wide, as while as her smile.

"Of course it'll still have to be looked over and stuff, and a least a thousand people try out for that internship, so I might not get it..." I added and was about to continue before she hugged me.

"I know you'll get it, Pete. Uncle Ben would be so proud." She whispered in my ear. I hugged her back, it was a bit awkward of a hug, because of the table between use but I loved it.

We started eating and chatting about my school and I told her how Ned and MJ were doing.

~This is your friendly neighborhood time skip ;)~

After supper I went to room to finish up the last of my homework, and after that I let myself clasp on my bed. My face hurt from grinning so much.

Time to text the group chat!
