9. We All Agree: Peter's a Baby
A/N: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! 1K reads!!!! ✺◟( ͡°ᗜ ͡°)◞✺
Thank you guys SO much for your support! I am SO happy right now!
AAAAAHHHHH!!!
Peter wants to break the fourth wall right now and sarcastically thank you all for reading all of his embarrassments in life. But this is MY celebration right now!
Anyways, on to enjoying Peter's failing moments in his life!
Peter: Hey!
Author: *Sticks tongue out at him* You deserve it for taking over my celebratory moment
Peter: I thought we were friends!
Author: Oh, we are. Doesn't mean I won't bother you though.
My alarm goes off waaaay too early for a teenager. Who decided it was a good idea to have school start so early in the morning?
I groan and hit the snooze button, rolling over and drifting back into a light sleep.
After hitting the snooze button a few more times, it goes off again and my eyes snap open, my face shifting into one of panic as my brain decides to finally catch up to reality.
Crap. How many times did I hit the snooze button? What time is it?!
I quickly grab my phone from off of my nightstand and look at the time. I'm late!!!!
I stumble out of bed and grab some clothes, briefly glancing at them to make sure that they at least sort of match. After changing I bound downstairs, taking them two at a time. The delicious smells of pancakes and eggs flow over me as I rush into the kitchen, "Aunt May! I'm late!"
She flips the current pancake on the stove, her back towards me, "Is that anything different from the usual?"
"Hey!"
She turns around, a joking smile on her face, which promptly grows wider when she sees me.
I send her a suspicious glare, "What?"
She attempts to hide her chuckle as she glances at me, "Your shirts inside out. And your hair is a complete mess."
I slightly blush before taking off my shirt and fixing it so that the right side is facing out before I put it back on. I grab a plate and start to fill it with pancakes and eggs. After piling food onto it I glance up at Aunt May, who is frowning at me, "What?"
"Your scars Peter. I just.... I..." She trails off, "Am I failing at being a good mother figure?"
I sit there, shock freezing me into place, "What?! Why would you ask that? Aunt May, you are the best mother figure I could ever ask for. I wouldn't choose anyone over you!"
She smiles before grabbing a squirt bottle and a comb. She walks over me and starts to squirt my hair and brush it out as I eat. We sit in silence for a moment before she speaks up, "It's hard Peter. Watching you go out every night and risk your life, swinging into dangerous situations and getting all of these scars. I'm scared for you. And I don't know if I'm failing by letting you go out each night."
I take a deep breath, pondering on my answer, "Aunt May, you have no idea how much you mean to me and how much you have impacted my life. I do risk my life every night, but I won't ever stop being Spider-Man. He's a part of me. Saving people makes me happy and gives me a purpose. Besides, I've been working on some things that'll protect me more."
"I know I won't be able to stop you Peter. So I am going to support you. But we need to make some more ground rules. And please hurry on whatever you're making." By now my hair is combed out and looking much better.
"I've already finished most of them. Look!" I pull the earpiece out of my ear and explain to her what it can do.
As I finish my explanation, we both jump as FABAE's voice comes out of the speaker of my phone, which is sitting on the kitchen table in front of us, "And I will be here for Peter always. I will let you know if anything of importance happens. I will not let anything happen to my baby boy." FABAE says the last sentence with so much passion, an obvious threat towards anyone who dares attempt to hurt me laced in her tone.
I blush, "I'm not a baby."
A chuckle comes from the speaker, "You sure look like one. Maybe I should call you a puppy instead."
I huff in annoyance as Aunt May smiles before responding, "He's my adorable baby boy too. Thanks FABAE for the comfort and for doing this for me. I know that we'd be great friends if I was able to talk to you more. And I never want to get on your bad side! It seems you're a force to be reckoned with!"
"That I am." There's a pause before FABAE addresses me, "Peter, is there a way I can always be in contact with your Aunt?"
I stuff the last bit of food on my plate into my mouth. I think through all of the possibilities as I rinse my plate off and put it in the dishwasher, "Well, I could put you in her phone. But she won't always have her phone on her. Oh! I got it! I can put FABAE in your glasses and give you an earpiece so that she can talk to you." My brain starts whirring at a million miles an hour, "I could put a mic in your glasses so you could talk to FABAE and she could hear you. I could also put a little hologram screen in one of your lenses so she can show you stuff. I should probably still install her in your phone though. Then you can text her if you can't talk to her." I drift off and glance at the clock.
"Aaahhhh! I'm late!" I quickly give Aunt May a huge hug, watching my strength so I don't crack one of her rib's, before dashing to the door. I swing my backpack over my shoulder before rushing out of the house, "Bye Aunt May! I'll see you later!"
School ended up being pretty good. I somehow managed to step through the doorway of my first classroom as the final bell rang. Right now, I'm sketching out how to change Aunt May's glasses into what I'm thinking of. I really am supposed to be listening to my history class right now, but I already know all of this stuff. After finishing my drafts, I look around the room and try to actually listen to the lesson.
Right now, the class is on the Black Plague, and after attempting to listen for a solid five minutes I drift off again, trying to come up with something to do. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, and luckily, I am sitting in the back of the classroom. I pull it out and a smile crosses my face when I see who it's from.
Mr. Insomniac
Hi kid
I'm stuck in a meeting right now
Couldn't get out of it this time
Peter
I'm stuck in class right now
And bored
Mr. Insomniac
How'd your test go the other day?
Peter
It went pretty well
I doubt I got a good score though
Mr. Insomniac
I bet you did
Even though I don't know who you are, I can tell how smart you are
When does your school get the results?
Peter
Ummm.... Today I believe
Mr. Insomniac
Cool
Peter
Yeah I guess
Mr. Insomniac
Well, someone finally noticed I'm not paying attention
So I should probably go if I value my life
Peter
I completely agree on that
Have fun valuing your life
Mr. Insomniac
You too kid
Talk to you later
Peter
Yeah, ttyl
I set my phone down and try to listen again for the last few minutes of class before the bell rings. Once it does finally ring, I start to head to my math class, where the results for the big test will be announced. My spidey sense rings in the back of my head, but I ignore it, knowing that "Puny little Peter Parker" isn't able to do anything. In no time at all a pair of hands roughly shove me into the lockers lining the sides of the hallway. My shoulder is rammed pretty hard, and I know that it's going to bruise.
I am turned around to come face to face with (of course) Flash, "Hey Puny. You better not have passed that test. I know I'll get that internship, and I don't want you to taint my rise to power with getting one too." After hissing the threat, the minute bell rings and Flash continues to his classroom.
When I finally make it to math class, I sit down and wait nervously for the results of the test. Why am I so nervous?
A couple minutes into class the principle walks in, holding a clipboard. The room instantly becomes silent, everyone holding their breaths in anticipation.
"Hello class," our principal says with a smile, "You all are probably wondering what the test from a couple days ago was for. Well, I am happy to tell you that it was to pick people to intern at Stark Industries!" The whole class bursts into sounds of surprise and excitement.
"Well, with that said, I am here to proudly make the announcement that one of you was picked to be one of the new interns at Stark Industries! Peter Parker, will you come up here please?"
I freeze and my breath hitches. Me?
Ned leans over and pushes me while MJ quietly threatens, "Parker, that's you. You better get up there and actually see how awesome you are or else."
With them urging me on, I slowly walk to the front of the room to stand next to the principle in disbelief. He smiles at me before turning to the rest of the class, "Peter got one of the highest scores on the test since it came out! Congratulations!"
He shakes my hand and hands me a piece of paper, "All of the information you'll need is on here."
"Th-thanks sir," I fumble before heading back to my seat.
Halfway there, I spot my math teacher sitting at her desk. She gives me a beaming smile and a thumbs up before mouthing, "Good job!"
I smile back to her and walk the rest of the way to my seat.
"Congrats bro!" Ned whispers at me.
I smile at him.
"Now, before I leave I would like to also announce the name of the other person from our school picked to intern at SI, who is in a different class. That person is Eugene Thomson!" After that awful announcement, the principal smiles at the class, respectfully nods his head towards our teacher, and exits the classroom.
I groan and hit my head against my desk. Great. Just great. How did he even get in? His parents must have used their power positions. Just wonderful.
When I finally lift my head from my desk, I see MJ and Ned shooting me glances of sympathy. I roll my eyes at them in a joking manner before glancing down at the paper with the internship info.
My eyes grow wide when I read that my internship starts today. There are going to be four more people from other schools that will be joining me and Flash as new interns. We will start working on a competition and whoever places the highest gets to move up to a higher level and work on more advanced tech. I squirm in my chair, nervous for what will come after school gets out.
I glance up at the board, noticing that our lesson has started. I really do try to pay attention. Honest. My mind is just everywhere and I can't focus. I decide to pull out my phone and text my two online buddies, starting with Mr. Insomniac, who already knows about the test.
Peter
Guess what?!
Mr. Insomniac
You robbed a bank
You burned your homework in class
You can finally cook
Peter
That isn't what I meant >:(
And I take offense over that last one
Mr. Insomniac
Well, I know I can't cook
So you can?
Peter
Yes, I can.
I consider myself pretty decent at it too.
My Aunt and I would always cook together, and we still do it now.
It's sometimes the only time we're able to get together and just chat and have fun.
Mr. Insomniac
Didn't know you could cook
Guess you do learn something new every day
Honestly though, I still find that hard to believe considering how dumb so many people are these days
Peter
That is just...
Wow
Anyways, we got off topic
Guess what?
(And you better answer normally this time)
Mr. Insomniac
What?
Peter
I got an internship at Stark Industries!!!
Apparently that test was to see who would get an internship, and I got one!
✺◟( ͡°ᗜ ͡°)◞✺
Mr. Insomniac
Congrats kid!
I knew you could do it!
:D
Peter
Thanks!
I am soooo nervous though
I bet I will mess everything up
Mr. Insomniac
I bet you won't
Peter
You may not know this about me but I have the worst luck ever
Mr. Insomniac
I doubt that
Peter
No really
Mr. Insomniac
Is there any way for me to convince you otherwise?
Peter
Nope.
Mr. Insomniac
Fine
Lets move away from this topic then
Hey, I need your help with something
Peter
What?
Mr. Insomniac
I am out of ideas on what to build
Peter
Build?
Are you a mechanic or something?
Mr. Insomniac
Actually, I'm an engineer
Peter
Cool!
Would you ever want to work at Stark Industries?
You probably know more about SI than I do
Mr. Insomniac
Actually, I work at SI right now
Peter
Really?!
That's so cool!
Maybe we will run into each other!
Mr. Insomniac
I doubt that kid
There's a lot of people at SI
Peter
We can only hope...
What do you want to build?
Mr. Insomniac
Something that will help people
Peter
Okay....
How about you build a water filtration system that is super cheap and affordable and works super duper well
That way people who don't have access to clean water will be able to get it.
Mr. Insomniac
I like that idea kid
And I bet if I did good enough on it I could get people to go distribute and/or install them in different countries
Peter
Really?
Thats so cool!
Mr. Insomniac
Yeah, I guess it is
After wrapping up my conversation with Mr. Insomniac I glance at the clock to find that I still have 30 minutes left of class. I sigh and switch to a different chat.
Peter
Miss Spider! Guess what!
It takes a minute for her to answer
Miss Spider
What?!
Peter
So I found out a bit ago that we had this huge test that we needed to take and that it was a test for internships at Stark Industries!
Well my principal announced the results today and I got in!
Miss Spider
Wow!
Congratulations!
That is a big accomplishment!
Peter
Thanks!
Btw, I just learned from Mr. Insomniac that he works at Stark Industries
That means that there is a chance that you do too
Miss Spider
I do in fact
I'm not an engineer like Mr. Insomniac is
Peter
What do you do then?
Miss Spider
There isn't really a name for my job
I guess I help with security
Peter
Thats cool
Maybe we will run into each other sometime!
Miss Spider
Thanks!
I doubt that
SI is a pretty big place
Peter
Thats what Mr. Insomniac said too
:,(
Oh well
Our identities remaining a secret is very important right now
Miss Spider
Right now?
Peter
Yup!
I consider you guys family so I would love to meet you someday
Even though that is most likely far into our futures
Miss Spider
You consider me family?
Peter
Of course!
Miss Spider
Awww, thanks!
I consider you family too.
You can be my Baby Spider
Peter
I would love to be your Baby Spider
Except I'm not a baby
How about your awesome amazing wonderful spider instead?
Miss Spider
Nope. You're stuck with Baby Spider
Peter
Why does everyone keep calling me a baby?
(╯> ʖ̯<)╯︵ ┻━┻
Miss Spider
Because you're adorable
Maybe I should also call you a puppy
You are definitely as pure as one
And I imagine you just as cute
Peter
....
Fine.
If it's going to be that way then you are now my Mama Spider.
Mama Spider
Aww, thanks
I'm touched
<3
Peter
You're welcome
My class is about to end, so I should probably go
Mama Spider
Yes, you should
Ttyl
Peter
