(Peter POV)

When we were in St. Marco's Square, a water monster came out of no where and tried to attack the city. I didn't have my suit with me in my backpack, so I just used my web shooters to try and help. (a/n- if you ever feel stupid, just remember peter was confused after he shot a web at a water monster and it didn't do anything.)

I ended up getting a concussion from knocking into a giant bell, but I was fine. I think. Back at the hotel, our class was looking at the news because a guy with a fish bowl for a head showed up and kicked the water's ass.

On the news they called him 'Mysterio', which just meant he was a mysterious man and they didn't actually know his name.

When we were getting ready for bed, in the hallway Ned asked me, "What are you going to do about the water monster?"

"Nothing!" I replied, "It's dead. Besides, that Mysterio guy is all over it."

We started to walk back to our room while he told me his love story with Betty and I brushed my teeth, "I had just finished my fruit cobbler-"

There was a loud thud and I whipped around to see Ned lying on the bed, completely knocked out.

"You're a very difficult person to contact Spiderman," a voice said from the corner of the room. I thought about saying, 'You scared the shit out of me!', but thought better of it. Nick Fury was sitting in a chair, with a blowdart gun in his hand.

I stared at him with wide eyes and took the tooth brush out of my mouth, "You're Nick Fury." I looked back to where Ned was laying, "and you just shot Ned!"

"It's just a mild tranquilizer, he'll be alright. So good to finally meet you, the important thing is that you're here. I tried to bring you here, you avoided me, and now you're here. What a coincidence," he said.

"Wait, was this a coincidence?" I asked.

He ignored my question, "SHIELD was shut down. Now I have no intel, no team. And a high school kid, is dodging my calls." He gritted his teeth, "Here's what I do know." He set down a little metal disc that projected a map of the world. "A week ago, a village in Mexico was wiped out by a cyclone. Witnesses say that cyclone had a face."

Ned snored loudly and he paused.

"Three days later, a similar event in Maraco. A village was-" he was cut off by Mr. Harrington knocking on the open door.

"Just making the rounds, seeing if anyone needs emotional counceling after today's tramatic events," he smiled awkwardly and Fury pointed the dart gun at him.

"N-no we'll be okay, we're real fine, thank you." I said.

"Great, cause I'm not qualified to actually..." he saw Ned snoring and whispered, "Oh he's passed out. I'm not really qualified to do that anyways so, good night." He closed the door and left.

I let out a breath, and nervously said, "That was my teacher, sorry about that. You were saying?"

"A village was destroyed by what may well be-" he was interrupted again by Betty's voice outside the door.

"Babe? Are you still awake? You're not answering any of my texts-"

"uM, he's asleep Betty!" I called.

"Oh! Already? Okay." I could hear her footsteps as she pattered away.

Fury continued, "That's why it's imperative-"

Another knock at the door.

"Hey boys!" Mr. Dell said, "So that canal water today was filled with dangerous bacteria-"

"Another person touches that door and you and I are going to attend a funeral," Fury said, and stood up. "Suit up."

He got up and left, and I saw through the window that he was getting in a small boat. I quickly changed into my suit and jumped out the window to meet up with him in the boat.

It was a completely silent ride, until he spoke up and handed me a glasses case, "Stark told me to give this to you. Apparently it's from your little girlfriend."

I wanted to blow up at him and say she wasn't just my little girlfriend, that she was an independent and damn smart woman who was amazingly talented and so much cooler than me, but then I opened the case and was at a loss for words.

It was a pair of glasses, that looked so fancy and new and totally not my style, but super awesome. There was a card underneath that said Stark Industries. I was about to flip it over and look at the back, but Fury announced that we were at the location.

We got out of the boat and walked into a building made out of stone, which looked really secluded and sketchy.

"You can lose the mask, everyone here has seen you without it. You'd only be fanning in amanitin and breathing through spandex for no good reason," Fury rolled his eyes and we walked inside.

I looked around the sewer looking room and saw only a few people who seemed really secretive and wouldn't tell anyone my identity. Ripping off my mask, Fury led me over to the group and introduced a few people.

He pointed to a woman and said, "There we have Mariah Hill."

Is that... Robin Scherbatsky????-

"That is Dimitri." Dimitri cocked his gun, probably as a way to show intimidation.

"And this... is Mr. Beck."

A man with a giant purple cape and a skin tight green suit, and some light up armor turned around.

"Mysterio?" I questioned.

"What?"

"Oh, that's just what my friends are calling you."

"Well, you can call me Quentin," he offered a hand and I shook it. "You handled yourself well out there today, I saw what you did with the tower. We could use someone like you on my world."

"Thanks- I'm sorry your world?"

"Ah, Mr. Beck is from earth. Just not yours," Fury said.

"This is Earth, dimension 616. I'm from Earth, dimension 833," Mysterio said.

Wait, I already know this stuff-

"They were born in stable orbits, within black holes creatures formed from the primary elements. Air, Water, Fire, Earth. The science division had a technical name, we just called them elementals."

"Versions of them exist across our mythologies," Robin- I mean Mariah said.

"Turns out the myths are real," Mr. Beck stated.

"Like Thor. He was a myth and now I study him in my physics class," I mumbled.

 "These myths are threats, they first materialized on my earth many years ago. We fought them. But with each battle they grew, got stronger. I was part of the last pitalian trying to stop them. All we did was delay the inevitable," he said.

"The elementals are here now, attacking the same coordinates. Our satellites confirm it," Mariah said.

"You can thank Mr. Beck for destroying the other three, there's only one left, Fire," Fury said.

"The strongest of them all. The one that destroyed my earth. It's the one that took my family." Mr. Beck twisted a ring on his left ringer.

I cleared my throat, "I'm sorry."

"And it will be in Prague in approximately forty eight hours," Mariah said.

"We have one mission, kill it. You're coming with us," Fury demanded.

I looked back and forth from him and Mysterio, "I'm sorry, did you say Prague?" I paused, "Mr. Fury this all seems like big superhero stuff and, well, I'm just a friendly neighborhood Spiderman."

"Bitch please."

"There's gotta be someone else you can use. What about Thor?" I suggested.

"Off world."

"Ok, um. Doctor Strange?"

"Unavailable."

"Sir look I really want to help, I do. But if my Aunt finds out I left my class trip, she'll kill me. And if I'm seen like this in Europe," I gestured to my suit, "after the Washington Monument, my class will figure out who I am, and then the whole world will figure out who I am, and then I'm done."

"Okay," he said plainly, "I understand. Why don't you get back before your teachers miss you and become suspicious." He fake smiled, "Dimitri, take him back to the hotel."

"Thank you Mr. Fury. And uh, good luck." I turned towards Mariah and gave her a little wave,"Bye m'am."

"Yeah."

Dimitri lead me out of the building and was about to get into the boat until I stopped him, "Y-you don't have to take me back, I-I'm real fine."

He rolled his eyes and walked back inside, leaving me outside.

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

(3rd Person POV)

"Hey man, are you sure you're alright?" Peter asked Ned when they were all leaving the crappy hotel.

"Dude?! I'm fine! Don't worry. And getting tranqed in the neck by Nick Fury... probably the coolest thing that's ever happened to me anyway," he said enthusiastically.

"It is pretty awesome," Peter laughed. "I'm just happy I don't have to go to Prague." 

They started to do their handshake until Mr. Harrington came out of the hotel and yelled, "Good news! We're going to Prague."

 The whole class started to retort, and mutter confused comments and profanities. 

"Tour company called and upgraded us. You should have heard me on the phone with them, I really gave em hell," he said.

"All I heard was crying," Mr. Dell tilted his head.

The class migrated towards a parking lot and Peter overheard Katie say, "Dang, I was really wishing to go to Paris. Woulda been fun."

"Look at our upgraded ride everyone!" Mr. Harrington exclaimed.

"Wow, I'm impressed Mr. Harrington."

Everyone excitedly shuffled onto the big black bus, throwing their bags at the man holding a sign that said, 'Midtown High.'

"Yo've got to be kidding me," Peter groaned. The man was Dimitri.

"Peter what's going on?" Ned asked.

He sighed, "I think Nick Fury just hijacked our summer vacation."

When they got on the bus, Ned and Betty sat together, MJ and Katie sat together, and Peter sat alone in the back seat, wishing Eliza was next to him. Dimitri started the bus and started driving towards their new destination, Prague.

He looked out the window at the mountains of Austria, they were really pretty. Sadly what came with super hearing was being able to hear Flash from the front of the bus, live streaming and calling himself 'The Big F'. Which was so wrong on so many levels.

His eyes drifted down to his backpack on the carpeted floor of the bus, and saw the brown case that Nick Fury had given him. He reached down and opened it, once again seeing the really fancy blue colored glasses that Eliza and Mr. Stark gave him.

He put them on, tucking the metal temples behind his ears. They seemed like normal sunglasses that didn't do much, but still really cool.

He remembered the little black card that was underneath them and flipped it over.

I don't know if Mr. Stark actually got the glasses
to you, but I thought you might need some help
with whatever it is that you're getting into
trouble for.
Also, look at the hidden files in your camera.

P.S. Say EDITH

-T.S. and Eliza

"Edith?"

The glasses lit up and changed into a light blue color, scanning his eyes.

"Stand by for retinol and biometric scan," a feminine voice said.

"Hello?"

"Hello Peter. I am Edith, Tony Stark's augmented reality security and defense system," she said. "You have access to all his protocols. Would you like to see what I can do?"

"Uh, sure."

"I have access to the entire Stark global security network. Including multiple defense satellites, as well as back doors to all major telecommunication networks."

Peter looked around the bus and saw everything that everyone was looking at on their phones.

"Woah."

Ned and Betty were texting, even though they were right next to each other. He made a face, then remembered the part of the note that said, 'look at the hidden files in your camera'.

Quickly, he went through his backpack and found his camera at the bottom. It took about ten minutes to find the hidden file Eliza was talking about. The file it had six videos in it. He clicked on the clicked on the first one, and saw a pair of feet.

"Oops. Um, I don't really know how to turn this off but," she turned the camera around so he could see her face, "Hi Peter! I really hope you like your present, Ned and I went shopping today and got a bunch of them for Christmas in a few days," she smiled, "I guess if you're seeing this um I love you," she whispered the last part and turned the camera off.

He smiled widely and clicked on the next one.

"Hey Peter, it's Eli. Well I guess that's pretty obvious. I don't really know where you are but I miss youuu. Only a little bit though, you're ugly. Just kidding, you're crazy hot- wait no you're... cute? Yeah that's good. And also very true. Um, right now I'm avoiding my algebra homework and waiting for you to come back while talking to your camera-"

He heard the window open in the back round and someone climb inside. She brought the camera closer to her face.

"Oh there you are! Ok I gotta go, love you byeee!!" she blew a little kiss.

Tears started to form in the corners of his eyes, just by listening to her voice. He hadn't heard it in over two months.

"Peter guess what? Yesterday you kissed me. Can you believe it? You kissed me!"she was smiling like an idiot and it was adorable. "Anyways, I'm making waffles and attempting not to get syrup on your camera that I stole. So bye!"

He laughed loudly and shook his head.

The screen was black until her face popped up, lopsided. "Alright I just woke up, but look at you!" she whispered. The camera turned around and revealed a sleeping Peter with his lips slightly parted, and hair all curly. "I swear you are literally the cutest sleeper ever." She bent down and ran a hand through his soft brown hair, "Also, I like your hair when it's curly."

He smiled and clicked the next one.

She was laying in her bed, looking really comfortable. He could hear the faint sounds of water running. "Ok so you're in the shower right now... and I'm kind of tempted to join you." Her cheeks turned a bright red and she stuttered, "I-I mean n-no I-I'm not. W-what are you talking about? Not me, wrong bitch." 

His cheeks dusted a light pink. The next video was just a montage of sneaking footage of Peter and her together, filmed when he wasn't looking. There was one in particular that made him laugh so hard that MJ had to make sure he was okay. It was of him in his spider suit, standing on top the roof, not knowing she was behind him. 

The camera focused in on his ass and she said quietly, "What you doing out here with all this ass? Double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon. Hella ass." Then she busted out laughing, blowing her cover. Peter turned around, the lenses of his mask huge, then sighed in relief. "You scared me, jesus. What are you doing?" he smiled at her

"I love you Peter," she said. Then the footage cut out, and was just a black screen again.

"I love you too." he said, biting his bottom lip.

"Who are you talking to?" MJ asked from the seat in front of him.

"Wha- no one."

"Do you miss your girlfriend so much that now there's a ghost of her that you talk to? Because I read about it online-"

MJ was cut off by Katie plopping her back down in her seat, using the collar of her shirt to do so.

"Sorry Peter," she said.

Katie turned back to her girlfriend, their noses just brushing each other. She was still holding her shirt in her fist.

MJ gulped and Katie smirked, "Hi."

"Hi," she whispered.

Katie pressed a quick lip to her lips and went back to looking out the window, like nothing had happened.

The class was begging for a break from being cooped up in the bus, so Dimitri stopped at a rest stop.

Just as Peter was getting off the bus, Dimitri stopped him and pointed to a small building where a woman stood, then went back inside. He looked around nervously, then made his way over to her.

Once inside, he saw the woman more clearly. She was very tall, with blond hair, and she had on a black leather jacket.

"Hello." he said, in a high pitched voice.

"Close the door," she responded.

Peter turned around and shut the door, then made his way over to the lady.

"Um, I'm Peter Parker," he stuck out a hand.

"Take off your clothes."

His eyes went wide and he gulped, "E-excuse me?"

"You told Fury Spiderman could not be seen in Europe. So I made you this, another suit," she handed him a black case.

"Oh- uh. Thank you. I-I'm sure it fits fine, I don't need to-"

"Take off your clothes!" she said more aggressively.

"Ok," he took of his backpack slowly and set it on the ground,  and unzipped his pants, muttering, "This is a little embarrassing..."

"Now! Hurry up."

He awkwardly shuffled the pants down to his ankles, and someone opened the door. Peter's senses were a bit off due to not being with Eliza, so on a normal occasion he would have been able to sense that person coming to the door.

It was Brad, a kid that Peter and Eliza used to play with on the playground as kids. He had always sort of had a thing for MJ, until he found out she was completely and utterly gay, so he spied on Eliza and eventually developed a crush for her.

"I-uh. Woah-" he looked really confused as to why Peter was in the so called 'bathroom' with a random Russian girl looking like they were about to hook up. "Sorry? Uh, I though this was the bathroom-"

Peter put a hand up, "This is not what it looks like-"

"Yeah," he pulled out his phone and took a picture.

"What are you doing... Brad-"

"I'll leave you two alone," he walked out. The lady pulled out a gun, ready to shoot Brad if necessary.

"D-don't! shoot anybody- Brad," Peter pulled his pants back up and ran out to look for him. "It's not what it looks like buddy! Hey man, that-"

Brad stopped him, "I'm not here to judge your life choices, if you want to hook up with some random European chick on our school trip-"

"That's not what that was, honestly."

"I can't pretend that I didn't see what I just saw. I know that you might be lonely without Eliza while she's in the hospital, but I like her. I'm going to show her that photo," he said.

"Wait- you can not show her that photo come on."

"Sorry man, I have to. She deserves the truth." He turned around and started to walk back to the bus with the rest of the class. 'And then she'll break up with him.' he thought. (a/n- surreeeee budddyyyy)

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

In the meanwhile, Eliza was bored and decided to check up on Peter.

"Andy? Did Peter get EDITH yet?"

"Yes, he opened it while in the Eastern Alps," Andy replied.

"Wait- that's not on the trip's itinerary. Where are they going?"

"Prague."

"Didn't Tom say that's where Mysterio was?" she asked.

"Yes, but currently the Midtown High class is at a rest stop. One student, Brad Davis, just took a photo of Peter Parker in a small building with a woman who has no file in our records," Andy said.

"Can I see the picture?"

"Okay," she pulled up the photo of Peter.

Eliza bursted out laughing, "Oh my god look at his face! He looks so scared!" She cackled and looked a little closer at the photo. The woman had a gun in her pocket and a black suit sat on the pool table next to them. One thing was sure, this woman was at least ten years older than Peter and had no intention at all of sleeping with an almost seventeen year old boy.

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

Peter had to figure out a way to keep his class inside for about three hours while he fought the giant fire monster. So naturally he asked his new A.I. system for some help. EDITH suggested that they all go to the opera, which nobody was happy about.

They were upset about missing the gigantic party that the whole city was throwing. It was a pretty bad coincidence that the satellites were picking up signals in the middle of it.

Peter was sticking to the side of a tower, getting ready for Mysterio to call him into the fight.

"How's the suit?" Fury asked over the comms.

"It's a little tight... round the old web shooter," he said.

"Parker!"

"Right, I'll shut up now."

Lava started to come out of the ground near a statue, making everyone scream and evacuate the square. Mysterio said that the giant monster absorbs metal, and it makes him bigger and stronger. When the monster formed, is started to smash everything, making them light on fire.

Mysterio jumped down to the ground and got into a fighting position. Peter webbed a big stone and threw it at it. He yanked a web to a fire hydrant and pulled, so that water sprayed up and hit it in the face, while Mysterio hit him with his green lasers. This caused smoke go everywhere, and the monster became distracted.

Peter was on the side of a building when the monster threw a giant punch at him. He quickly dodged it and landed on the carousel, making the giant lava being come towards him and absorb the metal carousel.

"No Beck! He's got the carousel! He's getting bigger," Peter exclaimed.

From above, he heard the familiar voice of Betty yell, "Night Monkey! Night Monkey, help!"

He looked up to see her and Ned stuck at the top of the ferris wheel. The fire monster was becoming bigger, and Peter didn't know what to do. So he shot webs at, which just made them catch on fire.

Before it could smash Peter to pieces, Mysterio quickly made a bubble around him for protection.

"You go right, I'll go left," he yelled. Peter nodded and broke right, climbing onto a stone building, leading the lava monster toward him. As soon as he was close to him, Peter jumped up and over it, grabbed another big stone and threw it at him. Mysterio shot a big green laser, right in its chest.

Peter continued to throw stones at it, because that was something it couldn't absorb.

Somehow it got closer to the ferris wheel while Peter was knocked down. He tried to shoot a web at the ferris wheel to guard it, but the web hit something invisible that was in the way. It discarded itself into an alley.

The ferris wheel started to tip over, so he webbed it to the building behind, and got back to the fight. The lava monster started to back up, assumingly on its way to being dead, but bumped into a giant metal ladder, and got bigger.

"No, no, no," Mysterio muttered. He turned to Peter, "Whatever happens, I'm glad we met."

"Beck, what are you doing!"

"What I should have done last time."

He gathered all his energy and flew straight into its chest, killing it for good. It exploded into tiny green sparkles, that scattered around the city.

Peter scanned the debris for Beck, and saw him laying on the ground near a pile of rubble. He swung down to see if he was still alive.

Beck rolled over and Peter sighed in relief, helping him up off the ground. They stared at each other for a second, before Beck patted him on the back and said, "Let's get a drink."

"i'M nOt tWeNtY oNe."

You do remember getting drunk with your best friend? Right?

They found a small bar, just a few blocks away with a couple people in it. Beck ordered a beer, and Peter a lemonade. He drank it with a sad look on his face.

"Hey," Beck clapped him on the back again, "You've got to celebrate. You did something good today."

"I mean Mr. Stark... gave me the chance to be more. He said that he wanted me to be better than him-" Peter said.

"What do you want Peter?" Beck asked.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you want?" he repeated.

Peter laughed nervously, "I-I don't know-"

"What do you want, you Peter Parker now. I know you're thinking about it-"

"I want to go on my trip! I want to go back on my trip, with my friends. And see my best friend again, who I don't even know where she is-" he sighed. "I-I just want to see her again."

"This best friend of yours... isn't she your girlfriend too?" Beck smirked.

Peter blushed and looked down at his lap, "Y-yeah."

"So why don't you go see her?"

"It's complicated man."

A woman bent down next to them and picked up a pair of glasses off the floor, handing them to Peter. "Is this yours?" she asked.

"Oh my god, thank you so much," he said.

 "What are those? Are those the-"

"Edith glasses yeah."

"They were just on the floor?"

He looked away guiltily. Beck said, "Try them on, let's see how they look on you."

He put them on and Beck just stared. "Can I be completely honest with you? They look really stupid."

"Oh."

"But maybe they have a contact lense version or something," he suggested. 

"You try them on," Peter said, handing him the glasses.

"No, I don't want to," he laughed.

"Come on, just try them on."

"No-"

"Come on."

Beck sighed and took the glasses, putting them on for show. He raised his brows, "How do they look kid?"

In that split second, Beck looked so much like Mr. Stark to Peter, which made him doubt himself about being the caretaker of EDITH. The glasses were made in the style that Mr. Stark wore on a daily bases, making him and Beck look even more alike

"Mr. Stark and Eliza know every mistake I ever made. He must have known that I was not ready for something like this. Maybe they didn't trust me to have EDITH, but trusted me to pick who should. It makes so much more sense, he always knew I would do what's right, and they're not going to give it to Fury, because Fury would just give himself EDITH," Peter said.

"Well yeah, you're probably right about that," Beck agreed.

"The press has been bothering me about who's going to be the next Iron Man now that Mr. Stark has retired, and it's not going to be me. I mean I'm a sixteen year old kid from Queens. It needs to be an adult, with some experience, that's good like Tony Stark. Like you."

"No, Peter come on," he took off the glasses. "No."

Peter took the glasses and put them on, "Edith?"

"Hello Peter."

"Hi, um. I'd like to transfer your control over to Quentin Beck."

"Peter, what are you doing?" Beck asked, leaning forward in his seat.

Peter looked up, "Doing the right thing."

"Any transfer will require confirmation," EDITH said.

"Stark gave you the glasses!" Beck said.

"Stark gave me a choice, it's my choice to make," Peter said.

"Waiting for confirmation."

"Confirm." Peter took them off and handed them back to Beck. "Welcome to the Avengers."

They shook hands, and Peter gathered his things, heading out of the bar.

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

Eliza was sitting in the lab with Shuri, eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch and watching vine compilations, when her wrist watch that she made started to blink. The watch was basically a portable Andy, just not in her mask.

"Hey Andy, what's up?" she asked, taking a bite of the cereal.

"EDITH control was just transferred over to Quentin Beck by Peter Parker," Andy said.

Eliza dropped her spoon and her jaw dropped, "That. Little. Shit. Imma kill him-"

Shuri quickly tried to calm her down while fighting the urge to laugh, because it looked like she was going to punch something.

thank y'all so much for 1k i really appreciate it 😭😭
