24. Films




Becca giggles from where she sits on her bed, watching something on her boyfriend's laptop as she waits for Peter to be done showering so they can continue their studying. Peter had left his laptop open on her bed and she saw a file that peaked her interest. So there she sat watching the video footage he took of his trip to Germany when her older brother recruited him close to ten months ago. She laughed when she read the title A Film by Peter Parker.

"New York, Queens.. it's a rough borough, but hey, it's home." Peter narrates the video in a deep voice that makes his girlfriend giggle and laugh at him being who she loved. Her dork.

"Who you talking to?" Happy cuts Peter off in the video and the camera pans to the front seat where Happy is driving.

"No one.." Peter mutters quickly, "Just making a little video of the trip." He clarifies to the driver and her girlfriend's brother's close friend. He wanted to film his trip for himself because it was an amazing thing that was happening but also because he wanted proof that it actually happened despite him never being able to tell anyone other than his girlfriend.

"You can't show it to anyone." Happy warns Peter. The driver and bodyguard had always been careful and didn't want anything getting out into the public's hands that could damage Tony or his sister.

"I can show it to Fia.." Peter mumbles under his breath but quickly responds to Happy, "Yeah, i know."

"Then why are you narrating in that voice?" Happy questions and Becca tries to contain any more of her laughter as she continues to watch the footage unfold.

"I miss you, Happy." Becca whispers as Peter in the footage answers the driver.

"Uhh.. cause it's fun." Peter replies.

"Fun." Happy repeats questionably.

"So why do they call you Happy?" Peter asks and Happy doesn't respond as he pushes a button, closing the window that divides the driver from the passengers.

The footage cuts to Peter and Happy at the tarmac and Becca only laughs more, "Come on. I'm not carrying your bags. Let's go." He states sternly as the two walk towards the jet.

"Hey, uh, should I go to the bathroom before?" Peter asks nervously, Becca knew that before Germany, Peter had never left New York but only a few times, and never by plane. It made Becca's constant moving around while she was with her father look so much different than she thought. How much more chaotic her life was before Peter had helped her find stability.

"There's a bathroom on it." Happy responds as they step onto the jet.

The camera pans to the pilot's seat, "Whoa. No pilot? That's awesome." He mutters then the camera jumps to a front shot of Happy as Peter sits down across from the bodyguard. Becca clearly saw the annoyance and clear distain for her boyfriend that Happy had.

"Is that where you're gonna sit?" The driver asks slightly annoyed.

"Yeah." Peter replies cooly.

"Is this your first time on a private plane?" Happy asks.

"My first time on any plane." Peter responds bashfully and soon the camera cuts to Happy sitting far away from the teenager. And a noise scares Becca's boyfriend, "Should it- should it be? Should it be making that noise?" Peter stammers nervously. The camera then cuts to be facing Peter as he shushes anyone watching and then holds the camera in front of Happy's sleeping face.

Becca giggles as she hears Peter giggling at Happy's snores but jerks the camera as the bodyguard moves in his sleep, scaring Peter back into his own seat.

The camera soon cuts to Peter in the airport briefly with Happy then to him in front of German monuments, "No one has actually told me why i'm in Berlin or what i'm doing. Something about Fia's family going crazy and I need to bring her home."

The camera cuts to a hotel hallway and Becca smiles softly. She knew her older brother had only brought Peter in to fight them to keep her safe. But she never wanted that tension to ever happen between her and her love.

"This is you." Happy says in the footage, motioning to a door.

"Oh, we're neighbors?" Peter asks excitedly as Happy unlocks his room.

"We're not roommates. Suit up." Happy states.

The footage cuts to Peter holding his phone in front of a mirror in his spider-man suit that he and Becca had made together. "Okay, Peter, you got this." He says, trying to amp himself up. "You're doing this for Fia. And because it's so freaking awesome."

"What the hell are you wearing?" Happy asks suddenly and the camera turns to face the bodyguard.

"It's my suit." Peter responds innocently, causing Becca to giggle at his response.

"I love you, Benji." Becca whispers with a smile.

"Where's the case?" Happy asks.

"What case?" Peter asks in return and Happy begins to open a door in Peter's room, "What? That's not- I thought that was a closet. This is still my room?" Peter questions as he walks into the secondary part of his hotel room. The camera faces Peter's masked face as he takes in the room, "Fia would love this.. My room is way bigger than-"

"There." Happy cuts the teenager off.

"I found the case. I found the case." Peter rambles as he rushes over to the case on the coffee table. He picks up a note and reads it outloud, "A minor upgrade?" He questions confused as he presses the locks on the case and it unravels high tech inside of it and his suit that Becca had asked Tony to make for Peter sits in the middle of the case.

"Thank you, Buddy." The sister says softly.

"Whoa. Oh, my gosh." Peter rambles in shock.

"Put it on." Happy states.

"What the-? This is the coolest thing i've ever seen!" Peter shouts in awe and total shock.

"Let's go." Happy snaps.

"But i don't understand. Is it for me? Happy. Happy, wait." Peter continues to ramble as Happy walks out of the room. The camera faces Peter's face as he pulls off his mask, "This is insane. Insane." He says as he flips the camera to face his new suit, "Look at this thing. Look. Look at the eyes." He gushes over his new suit, "Man, i wish Fia was here to see it." He mumbles, "This is the greatest day of my life." He rambles but Happy startles him as he orders Peter to get ready.

The camera cuts to the tarmac just before Becca remembers seeing Peter swing in, stealing her uncle's shield. "Okay, there's Captain America, Fia's mom, Iron Man, Black Widow. Whoa, who's that new guy?" He lists off and Becca smiles softly as she sees T'Challa. Her family and the Royal family of Wakanda had come a long way in only the span of ten months. Her mother was now the royal advisor to the king, her father was in remission. And her baby brother Jamie was now two months old and loving life.

"Underoos!" Becca watches her brother call to her boyfriend in the footage.

"Oh! That's me! I gotta go, I gotta go." Peter rambles as he sets his phone propped up to continue filming as he flips into the air and releases several webs and takes Becca's Uncle's shield from his hands, webbing her mother and uncle's hands together. "Hey everyone." He greets the heroes and his girlfriend's family.

The film cuts to Peter hiding behind something on the tarmac and the camera facing him. Becca could clearly see his adrenaline increasing because of the fight and being around so many famous superheroes was making him anxious but also excited. "Okay, so the craziest thing just happened! I just had a fight with Captain America, which is Fia's Uncle.. and Fia's mom and Fia, so that's not good. But I stole his shield. I threw it at him-" He cuts himself off as he turns around in the footage and sees Scott in his giant form, "What the hell, he's big now. I gotta go. Hang on." He states and leaves his phone on the ground, the camera facing the sky and in seconds Becca watches Peter get thrown past the camera in the air.

The camera cuts to Peter freshly showered and in his hotel room ranting about what had just happened, "It was the most amazing thing!" He states, "Well.. aside from Fia being mad at me, that's no fun at all." Becca knew his adrenaline was high and that the emotions of what that day held for the young couple was different then what he was showing on camera. "Mr. Stark just yelled, 'Underoos!' I flipped in and stole Cap's shield. I was like, 'what's up, everybody?' Fia's mom didn't look too happy though which isn't good either but then-" He rambles on before a knock on the door breaks him away from his camera and retelling of the day. "Just a second!" He shouts to the person at the door. He props the camera to face him and the entire room as he backflips over the bed and stands in front of the door.

Becca was always amazed at Peter's acrobatics and agility ever since the spider bite in Ben's labs. He tried his best not to do it in school or around people but when it was just him and his girl, there was no keeping him from doing it.

"Hey." Peter answers the door in a high pitched voice that made Becca giggle.

"They have thin walls here." Happy states in the footage, clearly annoyed with the teenager in front of him.

"What're you watching?" Peter asks and Becca jumps from where she sat on her bed.

She laughed softly as she took in her boyfriend's appearance. He was in his pajama bottoms and that was it. He slept hotter than normal so he couldn't wear anything other than pajama bottoms. A small towel was draped around his neck as he rubbed the water out of his hair. His abs flexing only made Becca blush as she tore her blue eyes away from his chest.

"Home movie." She replies and Peter's eyes widen in realization.

"Fia-" Peter stammers, he didn't want Becca seeing that if it was going to make her upset from reliving the fight that caused her and himself to have a lot of tension in not just them, but her family as well.

"I've been enjoying it." She reassures her boyfriend as he sits beside her on her bed, seeing where she had paused the film. Her brother was in the shot she had paused.

"Really?" He asks nervously as he looks at his girlfriend intently, making sure she wasn't hiding her true feelings from him for the sake of his own.

"Mhmm." Becca nods as she plaits her hair quickly to get it away from her face before bed. "Can we finish it?" She asks softly, "I haven't seen Buddy since Siberia." She mutters.

Peter's heart aches as he sees the expression of sadness and longing on his flower's face. She missed her brother more than she could fathom. So he nods, "Of course." He mutters. The two move their school books off her bed and cuddle together on her bed. Their legs intertwine as Becca rests her head on Peter's bare chest. His arms wrap around her frame as her own arms wrap around his waist. Peter leans forward and presses the play button on his laptop for the film to continue.

"What are you doing, a little video diary?" Tony asked. The camera moves as Becca can guess Peter's blushing in embarrassment as he responds with a yes. "It's all right." Tony assures his sister's boyfriend. "I'd do the same thing."

"I told him not to." Happy says from his driver's position. "He was filming. I'm gonna wipe the chip."

"Okay. Hey, hey, hey. You know what? We should make an alibi video for your Aunt May." Tony says and the camera pans to face him as he takes his sunglasses off, "You ready?" He asks Peter.

"An alibi? Sure." Peter muttered nervously.

"We rolling? Get in the frame." Tony quips and soon Peter's head is beside Becca's brother. Peter forces an awkward smile as Tony begins to talk, "Hey, May. How you doing? What are you wearing? Something skimpy, I hope." He quips and Becca rolls her eyes at her brother's comment, a small smile on her lips as she watches Peter's expression on the footage change as he looks at Tony as the older man breaks into laughter. "Peter, that's inappropriate. Let's start over. You can edit it."

Peter looks down at his girlfriend, he sees her facial expression, so he kisses her temple which draws her attention as the film continues to roll on his laptop, "I know you miss him." He mutters, Becca's eyes drop to where her hand is resting on his bare chest. "He misses you too."

Becca nods slowly, "I know." She mumbles softly as she snuggles deeper into her boyfriend's embrace, "A lot's changed since then." She mutters.

Peter nods in agreement as the camera goes black and he remembers what Tony talked to him about after he turned his phone off. "He let me keep the suit." He mumbles, "He also talked to me about you. How we both know you can protect yourself but that i'm here for you. And he is too."

Becca nods slowly, "What else did he say?" She asks softly, wanting to know more about what her brother had said to her boyfriend.

"Umm.. That Happy's who we call on when we do super stuff but not to stress him out. He also said not to do anything he would do, and definitely don't do anything he wouldn't do." Peter tries to retell what Tony had told him all those months ago for his girlfriend.

"He said there was a little gray area, didn't he?" Becca asks, she knew her brother all too well at this point, it made her smile but also hurt inside. She then looks up at her boyfriend, "Does that mean you're an Avenger?"

Peter runs his hand through his wet hair then returns his hand back on Becca's arm, "He said i wasn't." Becca could see that he wanted to be on his girlfriend's level on superheroism, saving people and being an Avenger was something he was hoping to achieve now that he had a new suit that made him more efficient in helping people. "But he said they'd call us for any missions and stuff." He states.

Becca nods slowly, "Good. That's good." She says, "What did Buddy say about me?" She asks hopefully.

"That he loves you and wants you to continue helping others with me." Peter says, smiling softly.

"We're a team." Becca agrees, smiling up at her boyfriend, "Nothing's going to tear us apart."
