2015

"C'MON PETER, LIVE A LITTLE" Teresa Parker, pulled Peter to a locked door, "This is a bad idea, Tess, we're gonna get in trouble for wandering off." he nervously looked over his shoulder. "What's the worst that could happen, we get in a little trouble?" she asked messing with the digital code, "Exactly. Aunt May, won't be happy." he stated, "Mom, won't ever know." she said, "Ha. Got it!" 

"Tess," he whined, "Woah," Tess's jaw dropped, as she stepped inside, Peter only a few steps behind her, there was machine mass producing something, "This way," she motioned for Peter to follow her, "So bossy." he muttered, "I heard that."

The pair came to another door, "Are those spiders?" Peter questioned, "Cool." she moved to open the door, "Woah, Woah, We aren't going in there! What if they're poisonous?!?!" the brunette shrugged, a small smirk forming, "It would be a cool way to die." 

Peter's eyes widened, "You are actually insane Tess." she laughed, "Sometimes you have to be a little insane, Peter." she laughed.

"Look how many of them there are," she did a little spin under the blue light, "I'm gonna have nightmares about this Teresa." she rolled her eyes at him, "You're so dramatic."  she leaned over and plucked at one of the webs, "Dang this stuff is strong." suddenly the machine changed direction and spiders started falling around them, the pair both screeched. 

"I'm gonna kill you, Teresa." he shouted as the pair both began wiggling and jumping around trying to escape the spiders that were falling all around them, "Open the door, Peter! I swear to God!" she said pushing him forward. 

"Ah! Jesus!" she yelped, and simultaneously so did Peter, "It bit me!" she screeched, pushing her glasses farther up on her face, "Get it off me!" Peter exclaimed. "What are you two doing back here. This is a restricted area." A voice boomed causing both of them to freeze. "I uh-" Peter began but Tess cut him off, "We got lost."

"And entered a password encrypted door?"

Tess and Peter both looked like they could pass out at any moment when May showed up to pick them up, "I'm not even surprised." May spoke her eyes landing on the pair, "Nothing shocks me anymore with the two of you, but couldn't you have waited to break rules until after I was off work?"

"I'm sorry, Mama." Tess murmured, "Are you two feeling ok?" she pressed the back of her hand to Tess' forehead and then Peter's, "I think we ate something bad at lunch." Tess whispered leaning against her mother. "Aww, My poor babies." she spoke, "Let's go ahead home, we'll talk about this...incident later."

Tess didn't remember getting from the car to her bed, she woke up when a pillow fell from her bed to the floor, she jumped, and bumped her head, she reached back to rub the back of her head and then realized she was literally on the ceiling. "What the-" before she could finish that sentence she was falling land directly on the bed. 

"It's fine, probably just hallucinating from being bit by a spider of...unknown origins...." she muttered to herself, "Oh yes because that's just splendid....wonderful job Teresa." she reached over the to pick up the pillow, knocking over a glass of water in the process; which she managed to catch at last second. 

She glanced at the glass that was sitting on her hand, and then the bedside table it had fallen from, not bad, not bad at all. That was until she realized she couldn't unstick the glass from her hand. She attempted to pry it off with her other hand but the just resulted in the glass crashing to the floor. 

Soon footsteps were heard, and May knocked on her door, "Tess, sweetie can I come in? I heard a crash," the brunette quickly crawled back under the covers, "I-uh yeah, I just knocked the water off the table." she shouted,

"Always so clumsy," May laughed, "How are you feeling?" she sat down on the edge of the bed, "Better. Yeah, much better." Tess smiled, "So you wanna tell me what you did to get you and Peter in trouble this time?" Tess narrowed her eyes, "How do you know it wasn't Peter this time?"

"It's never Peter." May laughed, "Whatever." Tess huffed, "We just got lost I swear." Tess stated, "Mmhm, Teresa, I'm your mother. I can tell when you're lying." Tess sighed and looked down at her hands. "I...you know how I get, Ma. Everyone was looking at me because I answered so dumb question and-"

"Yeah, I get it, Tess." May offered her a smile, "Do you want anything from the store?" the brunette pressed her lips together, "Can you get some soup, please?" May smiled, "Sure can."

As soon as May was gone, Tess rushed over to Peter's door and began knocking against it, "Peter I swear you better open this door right now." she said continuing to knock on it, "Yeah, yeah, Tess." he said pulling the door opened, "Are you experiencing anything...weird...from that uh, spider bite?"

"Like uh...like what?" he asked his voice going up in register, she hopped up hanging from the ceiling by her hand. "You too?!?!" he exclaimed.

"This is so," he started, "Cool!" "Crazy!" and Peter shook his head as she hopped down, "No, not cool. Tess, this is serious." he said, "I never said it wasn't Peter, I'm just saying that it's super cool like we can literally stick to the ceiling."

"The ceiling Peter!" she said shaking his shoulders, he shrugged her off, "None of this would've happened if you didn't drag me away from the rest of the class." he huffed, "Peter, please don't be mad." she said, "This is something really cool, and we have this chance to make a real impact on the world, just like I've always wanted."

--2012--

"Mama? Peter?" she called out, screams and yells echoed all around the city, roars of the ailens that reigned down. The city had always felt big to the small child, but now it was somehow worse, she had lost May and Peter in the crowds and here she stood alone, she let out a scream as she came face to face with one of the alien creatures, but it collapsed in front of her, and there stood a woman with firey red hair. 

Tess looked up at her in awe, and the woman offered her a small smile crouching down beside her, "Are you lost?" she asked softly, and Tess nodded, "Ok, what's your name?"  Tess looked at her, "Tess." she spoke quietly, "My name's Nat, how about we find your family, ok?" the woman, Nat offered out her hand, which Tess gratefully accepted.

Natasha lead Tess through the roads and that's when May's eyes landed on the girl, "Tess!" she called, "Mama!" Tess exclaimed, and ran into May's arms, "Oh my baby, oh you're ok." she breathed holding the girl close, "Thank you." she thanked Natasha, "It's not a problem at all, Tess is a very brave kid." she smiled, and turned to walk away.

"Mama, I wanna learn how to fight to protect people, just like Miss Nat." the redhead walked away with a smile on her face, she had actually inspired someone.
