Here was what had been the first challenge of this world for Jack: school. Luckily for them, Claire and Kaia had both attended school before, so they were prepared. But not for this.

7:40 a.m.

School starts. They're all in the same room. Kaia sits behind Jack, Claire sits behind Peter.

8:30 a.m.

The lockdown warning goes off as they walk to their next class. They quickly duck into the nearest room: the library.

8:32 a.m.

It's been announced that there's an armed intruder in the building. He's headed straight for the library.

8:33 a.m.

They've barricaded the door with tables and chairs. Peter has now changed into his Spider-suit.

8:34 a.m.

Jack palms a knife. Claire and Kaia follow suit. MJ realizes what all of them forgot.

"There's a back door."

8:34:30

They're running for the back door. The only other person in the room is the librarian. She's hiding and therefore doesn't see Spider-Man and two armed teens run by.

8:35

Ned lets out a small shriek. The others stop.

The intruder is holding against his forehead.

Jack might've been able to do something, but it's too risky, someone else could've gotten hurt.

8:36

They're herded out at gunpoint. They're relieved, somehow. Us, not them.

8:37

They're loaded into an inconspicuous navy-gray van. They're a little tightly packed, but they all fit. Their knives have been confiscated, and Peter hasn't been suited up since the library.

8:40

They're blindfolded and unloaded from the van.

8:42

They can see now--not that there's anything to see. It's a nondescript room, probably used solely for holding and interrogating captives.

8:44

Their captors turn off the lights. Ned and MJ clutch Peter's hands (unintentionally, of course), and Kaia grips Claire's arm.

"We only meant to grab the Spider, but the more, the better." The voice came from over a speaker, amd sounded automated.

"What do you want with us?" Claire demanded to know.

"Tony Stark cares about the little Spider, as much as he tries to hide it."

"Ransom?" Peter asked.

Jack spoke up. "No. A trap."

"Smart kid, huh? Yeah, it's a trap. Iron Man comes rushing in to save you-- only, he won't leave. And then we'll be free to do our business without such interruptions."

The two girls glanced at each other. "Iron Man?" Kaia mouthed.

Claire didn't give any response. It would make sense, they had seen Peter's spider-suit. But the existence of superheroes meant that this world was probably just as dangerous as the one they'd left behind.
