chapter eleven
Bella was currently laying on her bed in her bedroom, trying to finish up some math homework and she absolutely hated it.
" When am I ever going to use this?" she mumbled just as her phone rang and so she picked it up. She smiled when she saw that Peter was calling her and she answered it.
" I'm actually so glad you called because I do not want to do my math homework." Bella sighed as she sat up in her bed.
" Well, you're not gonna have to." Peter said and Bella furrowed her eyebrows together in confusion.
" Y'know those guys we saw under the bridge with those weapons?" Peter asked. " I figured out where they were going to be next. They're at the Staten Ferry."
Bella sighed as she aimlessly flipped through her math textbook. " You know I would love to ditch my homework and help you fight bad guys..." she voice trailed off as she got out of her bed.
" I'm on my way, don't worry."
****
Once Bella got her suit on she super speeds over to the Staten Ferry and managed to get on it just before it was leaving. She was on top of the Fairy, trying her best to stay hidden as she waited for Peter. She jumps when she feels hands on her shoulders. She brings her right arm backwards, hitting whoever was behind her.
" Ow!" she heard a familiar voice say and she winced as she turned around when she saw it was only Peter who she hit and he was holding his right side. " Whoops. My bad."
The white eyes of Peter's suit narrowed as he looked at her.
" Uh-huh. Sure."
" What took you so long?" Bella asked him while Peter walks over to the front and then he says, " Not everyone has super speed, Belle."
Bella rolls her eyes and walks over to where Peter was going to. Peter knelt down as he looked down below at the guys that were on the lower deck and she kneels right besides him.
She looks down as well as Peter asks his A.I. who the guys were. " Y'know I'm worried about Karen and the Instant Kill you have with your suit."
He shrugs his shoulder. " Yeah, I have no idea why Karen always suggests that."
" White Pickup Truck." one of the guys said. The guy that was in the front nodded and walked off while Peter told his Spider-Drone to go find a White Pickup Truck that was on board.
" Did it find the Truck?" Bella asks as she looks over at Peter.
He nods. " Yeah. This is too perfect. Got the weapons, buyers and sellers all in one place."
" But there is only two of us." Bella pointed out and Peter waved his hand around. " We can take them."
She looked over at him with confusion when he started saying,
" No, no, no, no."
She tilts her head to the side. " What's wrong?"
He looks over at her. " Tony is calling."
Her eyes widen. " What? Don't answer!"
" Uh, I'm actually at school." Peter told Tony because for some reason Karen answered the call.
" Hang up on him!" Bella said since she knew that they would be in big trouble if Tony found out.
" I'm trying." he mumbled under breath, but Bella said heard him.
" I'm, uh, at band practice." Peter said to Tony and she rolled her eyes.
" I gotta go, uh, end call!" Peter quickly said which ended the call with Tony.
He looks over at her. " Okay, you ready?"
She nods and smirks. " I was born ready."
He then reached forward and webbed the keys one of the guys were holding. " I'll take those."
He jumps off of the roof and lands on the floor that the guys were on as Bella super speeds down there just as Peter lands.
Peter shows the keys to the four guys who turned around to face them.
" Hey, guys."
Bella waves at the confused guys that were on high alert.
" The illegal-weapons-deal-ferry was at 10:30. You missed it." Peter then disarms two guys by using his web as Bella throws a electric sphere at one of the guys, knocking him out. Peter ducks under the guy that had a shocker gauntlet, which gets caught in the gate.
Bella super speeds behind Peter noticing two of the guys that he threw with his web were trying to get up and she shocks them both.
" Spidey!" she called out Peter turned around.
" Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so fast." he said and webbed the two guys and then throws them to the side. " Are you guys okay? My bad. That was a little hard."
Bella chuckled. " Great job, Spidey."
He looks at her. " You too, Speedy." he looks back at the guy that had the gauntlet stuck in the gate.
" I gotta say the other guy was way better with that thing." he said and then reloads his web-shooter.
Bella looks over her shoulder noticing a guy running towards them and before she even said anything Peter aimed his right arm at the guy and webbed him against the wall.
She then heard a bang sound and squinted her eyes, noticing two more guys were nearby the white truck. She goes to super speeds over to him just as the FBI tells Peter to freeze.
Bella got to the Vulture guy, but he was already in side of the truck. She steps back whenever a mechanical wing shoots out of the truck. She ducks as the Vulture flies over her and she yells at the FBI to get out of the way along with Peter, but they didn't listen.
She super speeds over to them and pushes the FBI guys out of the way just as the Vulture grabs a car and throws it forward, knocking Peter backwards. She gets up and looks over at the Vulture fires a high tech weapon, drags a car, and throws it against the agents.
Peter shoots a web at Vulture's leg and pulls. Vulture hides behind his large metal wings that protects him from the gunfire, then shoots at the agents. Bella super speeds out of the way so she doesn't get hurt while one blast hits an indoor seating area.
Peter weighs Vulture with a car attached to his web. Dodging a blast, he leaps to the upper deck and shoots some more web while Bella super speeds to the upper deck. Peter hangs from Vulture's suit and swings over the water.
" Spidey, what are you doing?" Bella yelled and it was obvious she was confused and worried.
Vulture fires at Peter and he swings back onto the deck. Vulture cuts the strands of web with the blades of his wings.
Peter shoots a web at the barrel of Vultre's high tech weapon and looks over at Bella. " Shoot electricity at him!"
" On it!" Bella raises her arms up at Vulture and sends a ray of electricity at Vulture. She hits Vulture and his suit malfunctions.
Peter yanks the weapon away from Vulture and on the deck, it bounces away widely and Peter traps the weapon uses a lot of webs.
" You two are messing with things you don't understand!" Vulture tells them and then the weapon's laser beam breaks up into multiple rays.
Peter jumps out of the way as the energy blasts through the upper seating area. " I'm gonna try and stop the other guy!" Bella tells Peter through their ear piece.
" Be careful!" Peter says.
" I will!" Bella super speeds to the back of the Ferry and onto the deck that she saw the guy running towards where the Vulture was flying at. She shoots a ray of electricity at him, but he moves out of the way before it could hit him. Vulture flies by and he jumps off, landing on Vulture and they fly off.
Bella leans her head back as she groans in annoyance. She then jumps back when the ray of energy slices through the Ferry.
" Eve." she said to her A.I.
" Yes, Bella?" Eve asked.
" Can you contact Uncle Tony?" Bella asks.
" Yes, I will do that right now." Eve said.
****
Things weren't going so great at the moment and Bella wished that Tony would hurry up before things got worse.
The Ferry split in half and Peter managed to hold it together with a lot of webs, but it didn't look like it was going to hold for long. While Peter did that, Bella tried to calm down the people that were on the Ferry and that didn't go so well for her.
She super speeds to the top of the Ferry and looks over, noticing Peter on top of the Ferry on the right side.
" Peter," she said through their ear piece and he looked over at her.
He let out a sigh of relief. " Thank goodness you're okay. I didn't know where you were."
Bella nods. " Yeah, I'm fine. But I don't think we will be fine for much longer."
Someone on the Ferry then noticed that her and Peter were there and started cheering, but the movement caused some of the webs to break and on instinct Peter grabbed Bella's arm.
" This is not good!" Bella says.
Her eyes grow wide as Peter jumps off and grabs onto one of the webs that was on the other side of the Ferry and with his other arm he grabbed another web connected to the side of the Ferry Bella was still on.
" Spidey, are you crazy?" she yelled at him.
Then the Ferry started moving back together and she super speeds to the other side that Peter landed on and let out a sigh of relief seeing the IronMan suit.
" Are you okay?" Bella questioned.
He was about to reply when someone said, " Hi, Spider-Man."
The two of them turn around to see IronMan outside of the window.
" Band practice was it?" he asked and he didn't sound happy.
" Oh, look, what a surprise, Electra is here to." he added and Bella bit her lower lip, knowing the two of them were going to be in big trouble.
Soon the Ferry was put back together with the help of the drones Tony called over. They both looked at each other and Bella super speeds to the top of the Ferry and Peter swings there as well.
" Uh, Mr. Stark! Can I do anything? What do you want me to do?" he asks as Tony flies around them.
" I think you've done enough." he says before flying off.
****
Peter and Bella were now sitting on the edge of a building after everything has just happened. Peter had his mask off, but Bella still had hers on.
" Peter, I hope you know you did a good thing." Bella broke the silence.
He shrugs his shoulders as he looks out at the city. " I guess so."
Bella opens her mouth to say something else, but they both look over to their right to see the IronMan suit flying over to them.
" Previously on Peter Screws the Pooch: I tell you to stay away from this. Instead, you hacked a multimillion-dollar suit so you could sneak around behind my back doing the one thing I told you not to do." Tony said and it was obvious he sounded annoyed.
" Is everyone okay?" Peter asked him.
" No thanks to you." Tony told him and Bella rolled her eyes. " Uncle Tony, he tried his best."
Tony pointed at her. " This is your fault too."
Bella's eyes widened. " What?! How? I'm the one that called you."
" That's true, but you still went with Peter and did this dangerous thing that could've gotten you both killed and a lot of other people killed."
Angered, Peter jumps off of the edge and approaches. " No thanks to me?"
Bella got off of the edge, but stayed where she was.
Peter gestured to where the Ferry was. " Those weapons were out there, and I tried to tell you about it. But you didn't listen. None of this would've happened if you had just listened to me. If you even cared, you'd actually be here."
Bella's eyes widened as Tony's suit opens up to reveal Tony. Peter backed up, now standing besides Bella, and it was obvious he was shocked that Tony was there. Tony didn't look happy either.
" I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Do you know that I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a fourteen-year-old kid." Tony said.
" Um, I believed in him." Bella spoke up and stepped back when Tony sent her a look.
" I'm fifteen." Peter corrected Tony.
" No, this is where you zip it, all right? The adult is talking." Tony pointed at himself.
" What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? 'Cause that's on you." he pointed at Peter and Bella.
" And if either of you died, I feel like that's on me. I don't need that on my conscience."
Peter and Bella nods while Peter says, " Yes, sir."
" I...I'm sorry." Peter sighed.
" Me too." Bella added.
" Sorry doesn't cut it." Tony told the both of them.
" I understand. I just wanted to be like you." Peter said and Bella felt sorry for Peter. She knew how much he looked up to Tony and Tony sometimes acted like he didn't care about him or really anything.
Tony nods. " And I wanted you to be better."
He looks at his niece. " You too. I thought you were better than this Bella."
Bella's shoulders slump and she feels like her heart drops to her stomach. She frowns and looks down while Peter looks away sadly.
" Okay, this isn't working out. I'm gonna need the suit back." Tony said and Bella's eyes widen. She didn't think he would go this far.
" Uncle Tony-" Bella starts to say.
" For how long?" Peter asks.
" Forever." Tony tells him.
Peter shakes his head with a shocked expression on his face. Tony nods.
" Yeah, yeah. That's how it works."
" No, no, no...Please, please, please..." Peter pleaded as he shook his head, feeling tears starting to form in his eyes and if Bella was honest, she felt tears starting to form in her own eyes. She hated watching this and not being able to do something about it.
And it seemed like Tony didn't care how either of them felt. " Let's have it."
" You don't understand. Please. This is all I have. I'm nothing without this suit." Peter frowned.
Bella wanted to object because she knows that's not true. Peter is so much with and without this suit, he just doesn't see that and she wishes he did.
" If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it. Okay?" Tony asked and as Bella looked over at Peter she noticed his lower lip was quivering and she immediately looked away, knowing if she looked at him any longer she might start crying herself.
Peter sighs. " I don't have any other clothes."
" Okay, we'll sort that out." Tony said.
" As for you," he turned to Bella. " I'm taking your suit and your hideout is going to be off limits now."
Bella nods slowly, knowing if she protested she would get a more worse of a punishment.
Peter then went home and so did Bella. She was not looking forward to going home. She wasn't for sure if her brothers were going to give her a lecture about this or not.
She had super speed to the Tower since she has some clothes there in her room. She also left the suit there.
Bella got to the front door of her house wearing black sweatpants, sneakers and a Midtown Sweatshirt with her blonde hair down. She knocked on the door and a few seconds later the door opened to reveal Xander.
He let out a sigh of relief when he saw her alive and not hurt. " I'm so glad you're okay." he then noticed that it looked like she was about to cry and he remembered the call he got from their uncle a few minutes ago.
" Oh, Bella. C'mere." he said, opening his arms up for a hug.
Bella sniffles and walks over to him, wrapping her arms around him as he wraps his arms back around her. " I feel stupid."
" You're not stupid." Xander said as he laid his chin on top of Bella's head that was rested on his chest. " A little dumb, but not stupid."
She looked up at him with red and puffy eyes, obviously not finding that funny. " Sorry. I thought that would cheer you up." Xander said, sending her an apologetic smile.
She sighs. " It's okay." she mumbles as she lays her head back on his chest. " I don't think Uncle Tony likes me."
" I don't think that's true. He wouldn't have gone to the Ferry if he didn't like you." Xander said, trying to cheer her up.
" I feel like he's disappointed in me. I never felt so bad before." Bella sighed.
" I would be disappointed in you too if you went behind my back." another voice said and Bella looked up to see Andrew walking over to them. Her and Xander pulled apart from the hug and she wipes the tears from her eyes.
She looks up at him as Xander closes the door. " Are you disappointed in me? Or mad at me?"
Andrew shakes his head. " No, I'm not. I'm just glad that you're alive." he walked forward and pulled her into a hug.
Bella was so relieved that her brothers weren't mad at her or disappointed in her. She was so lucky to have brothers like them.
