(3rd Person POV)

Anne sat on the bed next to Peter, silently stitching up Peter's wound, she was a lot better at it because this was her job. She had already had some suspicions of her daughter being Spiderwoman. Mostly because sometimes when they were having dinner, she would get up in the middle of their conversation and say she had 'homework' to do. But then Anne would go into Eliza's room and she wasn't there. Also whenever Spiderwoman would come up on the news, Eliza would visibly tense up. 

While Anne stitched up Peter's leg, May was yelling at him. He tried sinking away into his bed, but would get caught and have to sit back up again. When Anne was done with the stitches, she found Eliza's eye line. Eliza looked at her mom and gave her a small smile. Anne moved her head towards the door as a gesture to go back downstairs to their apartment.

They both stood up and Anne said, "Alright Peter, try not to get stabbed again please, but if you do, come straight to me. It's literally my job to do this kind of thing, and I don't want anything to get infected."

"Thank you," Peter said, "I'll try not to get stabbed again." May glared at him and Eliza tried not to laugh.

"Ok, we should get going. Eliza?" Anne said, leading the way to the door. She nodded and then looked down at what she was wearing.

"I-um. I'm still wearing my suit...I'll just go through the window?" Eliza said.

Anne looked towards the window confused but then she understood. She had forgotten that Peter and Eliza shared a fire escape, "Oh so that's how you guys have been doing this...ok, meet you downstairs."

May looked like she was about to start scolding Peter again, so the other two women quickly made their way out of his room. Eliza mouthed, 'good luck dude' to Peter. He nodded and sighed. Once Eliza and her mom got back to their apartment, Eliza changed into sweatpants and a sweatshirt, and made her way to the living room where Anne was. 

"Alright I guess it's time for me to be a gOoD mOm now..." Anne started and Eliza let out a laugh, sitting next to her on the couch, "How long have you been doing this?"

"Um, about eight and a half months," Eliza said, looking away from her mom.

"Ok. Why didn't you tell me? This is so cool! And I could have told my could have told my co-workers that my daughter is a badass," Anne said, throwing her hands in the air.

A smile grew on Eliza's face, "First of all, I love you so much. Second, please please please do NOT tell anyone. It's kind of the point of the mask, that no one knows my identity."

"Ok fine. Also, as your mother, I'm really worried about you man, I mean you could die doing this..." Anne trailed off, then knocked a few times on the coffee table and Eliza gave her a questionable look. "I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious."

"Ok Michael Scott," they both laughed, "But on a more serious note, if I do die, which I won't," she said quickly to calm her mom's nerves, "it will be saving someone else's life, and that's why I'm doing this. When Uncle Ben died...Peter and I went out and caught the guy who did it. We decided that we could be doing something good with our powers, and it would be a waste not to."

Anne nodded slowly, "I understand," there was a moment of silence before she said, "By the way, how did you get your powers?"

"Uh...I was bitten by a radioactive spider," Eliza said, scratching the back of her neck.

"That's cool, random question..." Anne said, "Do you lay eggs?"

Eliza busted out laughing, "Oh my god- Ned asked the same thing. NO I DON'T LAY EGGS." 

"Oh thank goodness, Cause I don't want like, spider baby's around the house-" Eliza fell into a fit of laughter and Anne smiled at her. "Wanna watch Harry Potter? I'm in the mood for some Prisoner of Azkaban."

"Yes, yes, yes please," Eliza said, "I'll get snacks."

June 2nd

The next day at school, Peter and Eliza went to decathlon practice in the library. Mr. Harrington let them back in because they were the two smartest people on the team. Because Liz was graduating this year, he appointed MJ the team captain. Katie was ecstatic for her because she knew that MJ really wanted this position, even if she didn't show it.

Suddenly Peter felt a buzzing in his pocket, it was a text from Happy:

Meet me in the bathroom. Bring Eliza.

Peter tapped Eliza on the shoulder and whispered, "Happy needs us, apparently he's in the bathroom." She nodded and they excused themselves. They headed to the boy's bathroom, Eliza was a little hesitant, because it was the boy's bathroom, but if Happy was here, she guessed it was important.

"Hey, Happy..." Peter said skeptically, "What are you doing here?" He was about to say something, until a toilet flushed, and a kid came out, and looked at Happy really weirdly. There was an awkward silence while the kid washed his hands, then finally left.

"So how long you been in here?" Eliza asked.

"Long enough to be awkward," Happy said, "Boss wants to see you guys."

Peter whispered, pointing to the stalls, "Is he here too?"

"In the toilet? No, he's upstate," Happy said, starting to walk towards the door.

"Upstate like upstate upstate?" Eliza asked.

"Yeah, let's go."

Happy led them to a really fancy car that was parked outside of the school. When they got in, Peter started touching all the different things, really excited that they were on their way to the new facility. Eliza yawned, she was pretty tired since she had stayed up with her mom, watching movies and talking. 

The drive was about thirty minutes long, and Eliza had fallen asleep on Peter's shoulder. Peter smiled softly at her and rested his head on top of hers. Happy looked in the rear-view mirror, saw the two teenagers and smiled a little. 

When they arrived, Peter shook Eliza awake and they looked out the window. The new compound had the Avengers symbol on it and it was huge. There was also a large flag pole with a pride flag and an Avengers flag. Happy parked the car and the three of them headed up stairs to where Mr. Stark was. 

"Ah, there they are," Mr. Stark said from behind them, making them all turn towards his voice, "How was the ride up? Good?"

"I-uh, yeah. It was good," Peter said.

"Love the flag by the way Mr. Stark," Eliza said, pointing outside.

"Yeah, well, it's pride month. Also Steve and Bucky finally got together so we decided to celebrate a little," Mr. Stark smiled, "Also, nice job on that bust with alien tech, one guy confessed, saying they were going to end up stealing from Stark Industries, so nice save." Mr. Stark clapped a hand on each of their shoulder's and they started walking forward.

"I think that with a little more mentoring, you guys could be a real asset to the team," he said.

Peter said, "T-to the team?"

"Yeah, anyway. There's about fifty reporters behind that door, real ones, not bloggers," he said, pointing to a large door. He tapped a button on his watch and a door opened to reveal two suits, "When you're ready, why don't you try those on, and I'll introduce the world to the two new official members of the Avengers, Spiderman and Spiderwoman."

Peter and Eliza gaped at him and then looked at the new suits that were made out of iron, just like Mr. Stark's. 

"So, after the press conference, Happy will show you to your new rooms, next to, who? Vision?" Mr. Stark said and Peter furrowed his eyebrows, "You'll fit right in." There was a moment of silence while the pair thought, then they looked at each other, thinking the same thing.  

Peter cleared his throat and looked back at his idol, "Thank you Mr. Stark. But w-we're good."

Mr. Stark tilted his head, "You're good? How are you good?"

"We'd rather just stay on the ground for a little while, you know," Eliza said, "Friendly neighborhood-"

"You're turning me down?" Mr. Stark said, appalled by the rejection, "You better think about this. Last chance, yes or no."

"No," they said at the same time.

"Uh, ok. Happy will take you home. But by all means, feel free to come by and test out the new training center, or I don't know hang out with the other Avengers."

"O-ok. Thank you Mr. Stark," Eliza said, and her and Peter started walking towards the exit. 

But then Peter turned around and said, "That was a test right? There's nobody back there?"

"Yes, you passed. Alright skedaddle there, young bucks."

"Thank you, Mr. Stark thank you," Peter said. 

Eliza and Peter walked out of the compound in silence. All of a sudden, Eliza felt something touch her hand. She looked down to see Peter's hand nudging her's a little. She glanced at his face, but he was looking straight ahead. He grabbed one of her finger's and then interlaced their hand's together. Both of their heart beat's started to quicken, but neither of them were sure why. 

-------------------------------------

June 3rd- Homecoming Day

Eliza, MJ, and Katie were walking down the hallway during their free period, the day of Homecoming. "Ok, what were your guy's sexual awakenings?" Katie asked.

"Unholy trinity performing Toxic," Eliza said.

"Talia music video," MJ said.

"Damn those are good. Mine was Meg from Hercules," Katie said and they all laughed.

From around the corner, the three of them heard two voices talking. One of them they recognized as Peter and the other as Liz. They gasped quietly, Peter was telling him that he liked her.

"I know," Liz said.

Peter's head shot up, "Y-you do?"

"You're terrible at keeping secrets," Liz said. Eliza refrained from snorting.

Peter chuckled, "You'd be surprised." There was a moment of silence until he continued, "I-uh. I gotta get to class. But, um. I guess you already have a date to homecoming?"

"Actually I was so busy planning it, I never really got around to that part, so...." Liz said, looking at Peter expectantly.

"Y-you wanna go with me?" Peter asked.

Liz smiled, "Yeah! Sure."

"Really?! I mean- great. Cool. Um- I'm actually going that way," he pointed behind Liz, "bye."

Liz skipped down the hall and went into the gym, while Peter smiled, walking down the hall. He was met with three women, hiding around the corner.

"Nice Peter. That was smooth," MJ said and he jumped.

"Geez. Warn a guy," Peter said. He couldn't fight the smile on his face, "But I can't believe she actually wants to go with me. This is insane!"

The three of them walked down the hall, MJ and Katie hand-in-hand, and Eliza with an arm swung around Peter's shoulder, congratulating him. 

"Alright I shall officially be deemed wing woman," Eliza said.

"Ok. As my wing woman, can you please help me get ready for the dance?" Peter said.

"Yes, of course my good sir. But you will probably need to wear cologne-" Eliza was cut off by a guy running up to them. Eliza recognized him as this kid in her English class, his name was Levi. He was tall, and had blond hair. Eliza immediately went into basically a turtle shell, she was only comfortable being herself around a handful of people, and Levi was not one of them.

Levi had talked to the girl once before, and thought she was a good last resort for a date to homecoming, because she seemed like a push over. So here he was, because he didn't have a date.

"Hey Eliza," Levi said.

"Um-hi?" Eliza said.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to homecoming with me," Levi said, "unless you already have a date," he added.

"Uhhh. No, I don't have one," Eliza said, skeptically. She didn't know why, but she was getting a weird vibe from him, "But, sure? I-I could go with you."

"Great. I can pick you up at seven?" Levi said.

"Sure..." Eliza said.

"Bye!" Levi said, going out the front doors of the school. Both Eliza and Peter let out a breath. They looked at each other and shrugged, going off in the direction of their apartment building. Neither of them had discussed the hand-holding thing yesterday, or said anything about it. Eliza just figured that he decided to pretend it never happened.

------------------------------------------

"Ok, so I think that I have one of Ben's old suits in my closet, let me check..." May said. The two girls had been helping Peter get ready for Homecoming. Eliza got a corsage for Liz, and May was working on getting a suit. 

"Here we are!" May said excitedly. She brought out a gray suit with a white button up. Peter rushed to his room to put it on. After a few minutes, he came out and did a little spin.

"DAMN DANIEL," Eliza said, and Peter laughed. May looked down at her watch to see it was six o'clock and gasped.

"Eliza! You have to go get ready!" May said.

"Right..." Eliza mumbled and went downstairs to her apartment. She put on some light makeup and made a disgusted face, she really didn't like makeup at all. Unless she had to wear it to cover up her bruises from crime fighting. She sighed and put on her dress. 

Eliza went back upstairs to the Parker's apartment. When she got through the door, Peter was trying to fix his tie. His eyes trailed up and saw Eliza in her dress. His jaw dropped.

"Oh my god- y-you look gorgeous" Peter stuttered. Eliza blushed a little at the compliment.

"Uh- t-thank you," Eliza said. She pointed to his tie, "Want some help?"

 "Yeah, thanks," he stood up and walked over to Eliza. She reached out and tried fixing his tie, while he studied her actions. He noticed that her tongue was stuck between her teeth and her eyebrows were furrowed, just like they always were when she concentrated.

"All done," Eliza said, backing up from him. Peter cleared his throat and looked down at his list that he had made.

"Alright, the last thing to do is..." he groaned, "dancing."

Eliza chuckled, "This is a dance. That's literally the point of going."

"Yeah well," Peter sighed, "Can you help me practice?" Eliza nodded.

May came into the room and saw Eliza, "Wow! Sweetie you look wonderful!"

"Thank you!" Eliza said, "We were just gonna practice dancing next."

"But there's no music," May said, then walked over to her record player and put on, "best part by: daniel ceasar & h.e.r."

Eliza put her hands on Peter's shoulder and he put his hands on her waist. They started to sway back and forth.

you don't know babe
when you hold me
and kiss me slowly
it's the sweetest thing

and it don't change
if i had it my way
you would know that you are

May watched the pair with love in her eyes, she had loved watching them grow up together and make such amazing memories.

you're the coffee that i need in the morning
you're my sunshine in the rain
when it's pouring
won't you give yourself to me
give it all oh...

Eliza backed up, still holding Peter's hands and did a little twirl. He smiled and spun her around so that her arms were crossed and his chest against her back.

i just wanna see
i just wanna see how
beautiful you are
you know that i see it
i know you're a star

where you go i follow
no matter how far
if life is a movie
oh you're the best part

Eliza spun back around, one hand still holding Peter's and the other out in the air. They laughed and Peter pulled her back towards him, his hand back on her waist.

it's the sunrise
and those brown eyes
your the one that i desire

Peter gazed into Eliza's eyes, that were an ocean color, whereas she looked into his and saw a chocolate brown.

when we wake up
and then we make love
it makes me feel so nice

you're my water when i'm stuck in the desert
you're the tylenol i take when my head hurts
you're the sunshine on my life

i just wanna see how beautiful you are
you know that i see it
i know you're a star
where you go i follow
no matter how far
if life is a movie
oh you're the best part

Eliza smiled at Peter and he grinned back. They heard a camera shutter and looked at May, who had Eliza's camera in her hands, taking a picture of them. They blushed and took a step back, not meeting each other's eye line. 

All of a sudden there was a knock at the door and Eliza went to open it. At the door stood Levi, clad in a tuxedo.

"Hey, you look nice," he said, "You ready to go?" Eliza nodded and went to gather her things.

A/N- I kind of liked this chapter because it had some Anne and Eliza interaction, and I love their relationship. It also had some ✨fluff✨ which made me catch myself  blushing lmao.
