"The jury finds the defendant, Peter Parker..."

"Come on, come on..." Megan repeated to herself, praying that the verdict would be good.

"Guilty." The judge announced, leaving people in a shock.

"Oh my god." Aunt May covered her mouth in disbelief, beginning to tear up.

"Are you fucking serious?" Megan was absolutely boiling with anger. Despite all the evidence that clearly showed that Peter didn't do what he was accused of, the court system chose to fail him. It made her angrier than she could ever be. There was no way she could keep this in.

"Megan-"

"Mr. Parker will be sentenced to thirty years-"

Megan got up, full of rage, and walked out of the aisle to do something she would regret later, but she didn't care. What was the point anymore? She's lost enough, and now she was losing Peter.

"Meg? What are you doing?" Her mom asked, but Megan ignored her. "Get back here!"

"He's innocent!" She yells out at the top of her lungs. The courtroom was already filled with noise, and she was practically yelling over everyone. "You fucking failed an innocent teenager!"

"Guards-"

"So someone who's framed for murder gets thirty years but an actual rapist gets six months? Fuck you and this god damn court system!" Megan screams as the guards make their way toward her.

"She's lost it." Michelle said, but she understood her completely.

After attempting to throw a chair, the guards grab Megan and start dragging her out of the courtroom, but there was much more fire in her left. "Get off of me!"

As Peter was getting handcuffed, he watched Megan kick and scream as she was being dragged away, and it only made him more upset. She wouldn't be acting this way if it weren't for this, and that stung him the most.

"You can rot in fucking hell-"

Sike.

I FUCKING GOT YOU AND THE CHAPTER HAS BARELY STARTED

I just had to do it to em 🤡

Now, let's get to the ACTUAL verdict.

•••

"The jury finds the defendant, Peter Parker..."

"Come on, come on..." Megan repeated for herself, praying that the verdict would be good.

"Not guilty."

"Oh thank god." Aunt May whispered, shedding a few happy tears.

Peter looks around in disbelief. He couldn't believe it. He was actually going to walk out of that court room a free man. It was absolutely crazy to him. Insane even. He thought for sure that they were going to say he was guilty, but he was wrong.

"You did it. You crazy son of a bitch. You did it." Michelle clapped even though no one else was.

"Is now really the time to quote Jeff Goldblum?" Ned asked.

"Yes, Ned, it is." She replied with a hint of sass.

While the little banter between Michelle and Ned was going on, both Aunt May and Megan's mom noticed how Megan was in practically a puddle of her own tears. "Meg? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just..." Megan sniffled. "why am I crying?"

"It's called happy tears, sweetie." Aunt May says and places a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"I hate crying." She said as she wiped away tears.

"Just like your father." Megan's mom rolled her eyes.

Speaking of Megan's dad, she had been meaning to ask her mom something for awhile, and for some reason now was the time to ask about it. "Actually, speaking of dad, can I see him?"

"I'll see what I can do." Her mom smiles at her.

A few moments later, Peter walks over to everyone with the biggest smile on his face. "There's little Mr. not guilty!"

"May..." Peter blushes in embarrassment.

"Oh, come on! We gotta celebrate!" May exclaims.

"Actually, Peter has to do a press conference." Happy announces, leaving everyone confused.

"Press conference?" They all ask in unison.

"At Avengers tower." He says. "To, you know, answer questions and stuff."

"Now?" Peter questions.

"Kinda, yeah. I got a limo ready." Happy replied. Everyone heard "limo" and were suddenly intrigued.

"A limo?" Megan and Michelle shared a look, wiggling their eyebrows.

"Well, uh, can all my friends come?" Peter asks Happy.

"Aren't you forgetting your girlfriend too?" Happy teased.

"Happy-"

"Yes, you can bring them." He rolls his eyes.

"Mom, can I be in the limo?" Megan whispers to her mom.

"Yes, you can be in the limo." She laughs. "I'm gonna head home. I can't stand being in this courtroom any longer."

"Love you." Megan kisses her mom on the cheek before she left, then she made her way out of the still crowded courtroom.

"You better text me so I know you're not dead!" Her mom yells out.

"I will!" She yells back.

"So, lim-"

"Peter!"

"Oh god."

Flash ran up to the group, extremely out of breath. "Are you going to jail?"

"No..." Peter replied with a confused look on his face.

"Damn, I missed it!" Flash cursed. "Stupid bladder."

"Peter, we gotta go." Happy whispered to Peter, but Flash heard him.

"Go where? Can I come?" He asked.

"No-"

"Yes!" Peter interrupted happy.

"What-"

"Yes, Flash, you can come." Peter said with a force smile.

"Peter, it's a press conference not a party-"

"Shh, he's my biggest fan." He whispered.

"Fine." Happy rolled his eyes. "Let's go."

•••

"Oh my god, we're in a limo."

Yes, it was happening. Peter, Megan, Michelle, Ned, and Flash sat in the back of the limo while Happy drove with a divider between him and the group of teenagers.

"I'm in a limo with Spider-Man!" Flash squeals like a fanboy and pulls out his phone. "I have to show the Flash Mob this."

"You still do that?" Michelle asks in disgust.

"It's my passion, okay?" He sassed. "Now, what's up Flash Mob-"

"So," Megan said to break the silence between her and Peter. "press conference, huh?"

"Yeah, it's kinda weird." Peter replies, still feeling like everything that's happening right now isn't even real. "I don't know how they really work."

"Well, good luck." She grabs his hand. "I know you'll need it."

"Thanks." He accepts her hand. "I really do."

"Nice scrunchie, by the way." Megan says.

"Thanks." Peter smirks. "The most beautiful girl gave it to me."

Considering that this was supposed to be like the biggest chapter, it felt kinda weak to me?? Idk that's my opinion-

Final chapter is next!
