Y/N's POV:
"Carthi, are you sure you're okay?" I ask as we brought down our luggage from the hotel.
"Yeah I'm fine. My sisters won't believe that Nick Fury shot me in the neck so I guess I can use the dart you stole from him as a souvenir." She said, showing the dart in her hand and putting it in her backpack.
"I'm just glad I don't have to go to Prague to fight that monster thing." I say and high five Carthi.
"Seriously. I would've been annoyed you left me." She laughs.
"Good news!" Mr. Harrington walks out with his luggage. "We're going to Prague!"
"What?" Peter and I say in unison.
"Yeah turns out we got an upgrade! You should've heard me on the phone with them." He laughs. "I really gave them hell."
"I heard you crying in the room." Mr. Dell attempted to whisper but Mr. Harrington shushed him.
As we rolled our luggage to where we were supposed to meet up with our transportation, Peter and Ned ran up with us.
"Y/n, what the hell just happened?" Peter asks and once we saw D'mitri holding the our school sign to board the bus, I pinch the bridge of my nose.
"I think Fury just took over our school trip." I mutter.
"Awesome!" Ned grinned and continued walking to catch up with Betty. While D'mitri loaded our luggage inside, Carthi and I sat in the way back since Camila was already sitting next to MJ and Brad.
Once the bus started to move, I immediately starting looking up places where I can find a spot that Camila and I can go to.
"You know, this can be a good thing!" Carthi suggested.
"How is this good? Fury is messing with our trip." I groan, scrolling through multiple places that were too boring.
"Well maybe as soon as you beat the monster, we might be able to still go to Paris. If anything, we still have London." She said and I shrugged. "Look, Peter is trying on the glasses you were telling me about."
I turn and see Peter mumbling to himself, looking around in shock.
"Having fun over there?" I tease.
"Well I can see that Ned is texting Betty that he misses her even though they're sitting next to each other." He rolled his eyes.
"What can the glasses do?" I ask.
"So far, I can see any contact information from everyone here." He says and I nod slowly.
"What's on Camila's phone?"I ask but then shake my head. "Nevermind don't tell me."
Eventually we arrived at a small pit stop and I heard Mr. Dell instructing us to take this as a chance to use the restroom or buy snacks. People started leaving the bus, talking among themselves to admire the surroundings and I tried following Camila but D'mitri grabbed my shoulder, as well as Peter.
He pointed to the bar that was across the street and a older blonde woman was leaning against the door frame, gesturing for us to enter.
Peter and I quickly ran inside, and the woman stood in the middle of the room with her arms crossed.
"Hey--"
"Close the door." Her stern tone rang around the room and I quickly shut the door behind us.
"I-I'm Peter Parker." Peter awkwardly walked up to her and offered his hand.
"Take off your clothes." She says, ignoring his hand shake.
"Maybe I should go--" I tried saying but she rolled her eyes.
"You two said to Fury that Spiderman and Spidergirl can't be seen in Europe so I made these suits." She handed us our black suits and I nodded.
"Thanks. I'm pretty sure these will fit fi--" I try saying.
She interrupts. "Take off your clothes."
"Okay! Okay." Peter says and awkwardly unzips his pants and slides them down. I slide off my shirt and was about to take off my pants when the door slammed open. I jump back and Peter quickly hid behind the woman.
Brad's eyes widen in horror as he sees the three of us in an awkward situation of what someone would assume.
"I-I'm sorry, I thought this was the bathroom." Brad said and I reached over to grab my shirt.
"This is not what it looks like." Peter stammered.
"Yeah..." Brad lifted his phone up and a flash went off, indicating he took a picture.
"Brad!" I glare. The woman pulled out her gun to aim but I shoved it away. "No, don't shoot!"
Peter quickly puts his pants back on and quickly runs outside to chase after Brad. I grab our suits, shoving them in my backpack and follow after them.
"Brad, what you just saw isn't what you think it is." I say and he shakes his head.
"Look Peter, Y/n, I'm not here to judge your guys' life choices on having a threesome. If you guys want to hook up with some random European chick during our field trip, that's on you." He says but Peter shakes his head.
"No, honestly. It wasn't--"
"I can't pretend I didn't see what I just saw. I know you're trying to get with MJ while you're trying to get with Camila, it's obvious. I like them too." He says and I furrow my brows.
"You like Camila and MJ? Are you trying to use this as a leg up to get with one of them?" I question.
"Hey if one doesn't like me, I can go for the other. It's a win win." He shrugs.
"You can't show them that photo." Peter pleads.
"I have to, they deserve the truth." He says and walks away from us. I clench my fists and was about to pounce on him but Peter held me back.
I try to wrestle out of his grip. "Let me go! I'm gonna beat the shit out of him."
"Stop it! I have a way to delete the picture." He says and I stop resisting.
"How?" I sigh. He drags me inside the bus and we sit next to each other in the front since Brad took our spots. Carthi sat on the row next to us and we filled her in on what happened as D'mitri continued driving.
"S-So you're the guy who saved me and you two were about to hook up with a European girl? Alright." Carthi says, about to high-five Peter but I smacked her hand away.
"We weren't having a threesome." I whisper angrily. "Now Peter, what's your plan."
He took out the glasses from his backpack and slipped them on. "Edith, there's this kid in my class, Brad Davis, who has a photo of Y/n and I." He says and I turn to Carthi with confusion filled in our faces. "Is he a target...? Yeah sure he's a target."
"Are you talking...to your glasses?" Carthi asked.
"Initiating a strike what now?" He asks, making our eyes widen.
"Peter!" I smack his arm repetitively. "I thought you said it only checks people's information."
"Guys..." Carthi trailed, looking behind us. Peter took off his glasses and we both turn around, seeing a drone flying behind us.
Flash snatches the glasses. "Cool glasses Parker, how did you pay for these?"
"Flash give them back." Peter tries taking them back but Flash smacks his hand.
"No, no, no, these are mine now." He says with a smirk. Carthi and I try taking them back but he kept smacking our hands away as well. Eventually Carthi swung her fist, making it collide with his cheek and knocked him unconscious.
I look at her horrified but she shrugged, taking the glasses back. "Hey, he had it coming." She hands the glasses back to Peter and he looks straight at the zone.
"Edith cancel--"
"Did Carthi just punch Flash?" One of our classmates asked.
"No." Peter lied but then his eyes widened.
I look behind us and see the drone pull out its guns. I shoot a web at the steering wheel, yanking it to the right. The bus swerved, making all of us squish against each other. The bullet hit one of the sideview mirrors and D'mitri tried his best to control the bus.
Peter grabbed his glasses from the floor and his expression became horrified again, seeing the drone was following us.
"Peter, sit down in your seat and buckle up." Mr. Harrington commanded and I gasped, pointing at the mountain.
"Look, baby mountain goats!" I say and everyone turned to where I pointed.
I click my bracelets together and push open the escape hatch, then jump in the air. I aimed the web shooters at the rock nearby us and the drone then connected them together. The drone started to malfunction and it crashed on the floor, shattering into several pieces.
Once I landed back down, everyone turned to me with confused looks.
"I didn't see any mountain goats." Mr. Dell said and Carthi awkwardly chuckled.
"I saw them, they were by the trees." She lied and clicked on her seatbelt.
"Must have missed them." Peter shrugged, taking a seat as well. I sat down beside him and he adjusted his glasses.
"Edith, delete the photo off of Brad's phone." Peter says then sighed in relief. He put the glasses back in his case and shoved it in his backpack.
"I thought we said we wanted to destroy the photo, not destroy him." I emphasize and smacked his arm.
"Sorry! Edith didn't understand what I meant." He says and took a sip of his water. We peek behind us and see Brad frantically scroll through his phone with Camila and MJ look at him with confusion.
"That's so weird, I swear it was here." He says and Camila scooted away from him.
"Yeah...weird." MJ trailed, scooting away from him as well.
🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷
As Fury was giving Peter and I instructions about what to expect, I couldn't help but remember the look on Carthi's face from earlier.
Flashback
We eventually arrived at the hotel we were staying in and once the butlers opened the doors for us, we were met with melodic music coming from the man playing the piano.
There was fancy furniture that I was pretty sure costed practically the apartment that my mom, my sister, and I stay in.
"This place is so classy." Betty says, looking around at the golden chandeliers above in awe.
"Yeah so why are we here?" Carthi laughs.
"Speak for yourself, I'm home." Flash said with a grin, showing his live stream the surroundings in the hotel.
"Well you know what they say, the squeaky wheel gets the upgrade grease." Mr. Harrington smiles which made Mr. Dell shake his head in disappointment. "Everyone get settled in, rest up, because tonight is Prague's annual carnival of lights!" He gestured outside.
I look up to meet Camila's gaze and she was already staring. I look away awkwardly but felt my phone start to buzz. Peter stepped away as well then pulled me aside.
"L/n it's Hill, there's an earpiece for yours and Parker's suits. Put it on and await further instructions, understood?"
"Got it." I respond and hang up the phone.
"Peter." Ned called and Peter stepped away to talk to him. Carthi came up to me with a look of concern.
"Was that an update about the elementals?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah actually...it's here in the city." I say and her jaw dropped.
"Y/n we're here in the city!" She pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I know, I know. Look, Peter and I are gonna try to figure it out." I say and she nods.
"Okay look, I know I'm your somewhat sidekick but I just want to enjoy this vacation with my best friend before we graduate next year. I want you to at least enjoy and have good memories here instead of having to be focused on fighting crime since you do it all the time back home." She sighs.
"Carthi..." I trail.
"I'm not mad if you're gonna ask, I get it. Just know that we're counting on you." She gives a small smile and hands me my hotel room key. "We have our own rooms thanks to Fury. Text me when you get back so I can help you with your plan thing, alright?"
"Y/n...Y/n...Y/n!"
I shook my head and saw all eyes were on me, except for Fury who was practically glaring at me.
"Do you know the plan or did we bore you?" He asked but I nodded.
"Peter and I are gonna be at the Cathedral tower but we'll switch off between shifts. If the fire monster shows up, I'll radio you guys and then Mysterio, Peter, and I will, you know, fight the monster." I explain and Peter secretly gave me a thumbs up.
"Remember to maneuver the citizens away if you guys can and absolutely make sure to keep it away from metal." Mysterio emphasized. "If it gets too big, it'll be able to draw power from the earth's core and after that there will be no way to stop it." He says and Peter cleared his throat.
"Look, my friends are here and I can't help but think we're putting them in danger and--" Peter tries explaining but Fury stands up.
"You're worried about us hurting your friends?" He raised his voice.
"I don't blame him, I'm worried about mine too." I say and Peter smiles gratefully at me.
"You called a drone strike on your own school tour bus. Stark gave you a multi-billion dollar AR tactical intelligence system and the first thing you do with it? You start blowing up your friends." He says, stepping closer to Peter. "It's clear to me that you're not ready for this."
I can tell Peter was going to blow up from the lecture so instead of yelling back at him, he walked out of the room. I look at Fury with annoyance but it didn't phase him.
"He's taking the first shift so you're dismissed L/n." He says and I roll my eyes, following after Peter. I saw he was swinging on his webs and I followed after him, doing the same. He jumped on top of the buildings and let his feet dangle off the edge.
I jump beside him but he didn't seem scared.
"Hey, don't let Fury get to you. You and I both know Stark trusted you with it, no one else." I say but he shrugged.
"Did he?"
"Well I...worked with him longer than you but he still chose to give it to you." I say and he looked down. "How are you feeling though?"
"I didn't think I was gonna have to save the world this Summer. I know that makes me sound like a jerk but...you know, I had this plan with MJ." He says and I laugh.
"You don't even have to finish. I'm trying to do the same with Camila." I say and show him my list. "But I get how you feel."
"Well it doesn't matter anymore...now it's all ruined." He says, handing my list back to me and I put it in my pocket.
"You're not a jerk for wanting a normal life, kid." We look up and see Mysterio flew from the side and sat on the other side of Peter. "It's a hard path. You see things, do things, make choices, people look up to you, even if you win a battle sometimes they die." His helmet disappeared and looked down at him. "You're a good kid Peter. There's a part of me that's telling you to run away from this but then the other half that knows what we're about to face and what's at stake. I'm glad you're both here."
"Me too." Peter says with a small smile.
"But...you guys are worried about your friends." Mysterio adds and I nod.
"I feel like there are way too many close calls." I say, fiddling with my fingers.
"Just get them inside that'll keep them in a safe spot for just a few hours and they'll be okay." He assures.
"It's cool having a trio of heroes that know what it's like." Peter says and Mysterio chuckles.
"If we survive this, you'll have all summer to kill Brad." He teases and Peter scratches his neck nervously.
"We should get going." I say, seeing how late it was getting and Mysterio nods.
While Peter and I swing back to our hotel, but once we got to a block away from the hotel he pulls out his glasses with a grin.
"Oh god, now what?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Edith, I need a plan to keep my friends indoors for the next few hours." He says and I smile, knowing what it would do.
We entered the hotel and saw everyone had their glow sticks souvenirs with them and Mr. Harrington talking on the phone with Mr. Dell watching our class. Peter and I split away from each other and I sit next to Carthi.
"Hey, how did it go?" She asks, handing me a glowstick necklace.
"Well..." I trail off.
"Good news, we're going to the opera!" Mr. Harrington announced to us and Carthi turned to me with a look of annoyance.
"Peter did it and for once it's a good idea." I whisper and she yanked off her glow stick headband. "We needed you guys to stay indoors."
"What happened to going to the carnival?" MJ boredly asks.
"Yeah I was excited to hit the ferris wheel." Camila crossed her arms.
"Come on guys, the tour company gave us these tickets for free! Do you have any idea on how much these tickets cost?" Mr. Harrington said but Flash scoffed.
"No," he retorted. "because none of us ever wanted to go to the Opera. Ever."
"W-Well I think this is gonna be culturally enriching for us." Ned stuttered and Mr. Harrington smiled.
"Thank you, Ned." He pointed and then faced us again. "Everyone, this is going to be, maybe, the best four hours of our whole trip." He says and everyone's eyes widened.
"Four hours?" Everyone gasped in unison and Carthi crushed my foot with hers, making me yelp. Camila turned her head and I weakly smiled, acting like I was okay.
"Guys...it might be fun?" Carthi fake smiled, crushing my foot harder. She leaned into my ear. "I hate you so much."
🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷
As we walked up the steps, moving further and further away from the carnival and towards the opera house, I felt my nerves relax.
I realize Camila was walking beside me and I admired how beautiful she looked in her pastel pink dress.
"I bet now you're all happy that I had you pack a nice outfit." Mr. Harrington said as he adjusted his tie.
"Yeah because we much rather go to a four hour opera instead of going to the biggest party in the world." Flash retorted sarcastically.
"L/n do you copy? Check one two." I heard Agent Hill's voice ring in my ear piece.
"I copy." I say in my earpiece which caused Camila to turn to me.
"What was that?" She asked but I shook my head.
"Oh, nothing." I reply with a smile. Once we all got inside, there were barely any people except for several elderly couples sitting on the far right.
"We beat the rush but it's a good thing we got the best seats in the house." Mr. Harrington marches happily to the front row. I hung back from everyone else and I see Camila do the same with MJ since they were admiring the architecture.
"Hey," Brad whispered to Camila and MJ, catching their attention. "I'll save you guys a seat." He grins before following along with the group."
"I don't know if this is a part of your plan with Camila, but you owe me big time if I have to watch this for four hours while you get to fight crime." Carthi whispered and saw Ned and Betty grab opera glasses and seeing the only chairs that remained empty was for them. "And for having me sit next to them." She glares.
"Just try to make sure our friends stay safe." I say, handing her the spare bracelet web shooter. She snatched it from my hand and clipped it on her wrist.
She walks down to her seat and Camila stepped closer to me.
"Hey." She greets with a smile and I grin.
"Hi...you look pretty." I compliment and she furrowed her brows.
"So I didn't look pretty before?" She questions but I quickly shake my head.
"Wait no. I mean, you always look pretty to me. Not like I always stare at you and think you're pretty. I mean, you are pretty but--" I ramble.
"I'm kidding, but thank you." She says and I visibly relax, making her giggle.
"You're welcome."
"You look pretty too." She says, wrapping her sweater around her arm.
"Thanks." I smile and we turn to Peter and MJ who were having heir own conversation.
"MJ is planning to sit next to Peter so I was wondering if you want to go in as a pair?" Camila asks and I tilt my head.
"You mean...sit next to each other?" I ask and she nods.
"Yeah. I mean, if you want to." She replies.
"Y/n are you in position?" I hear Fury ask.
"No." I reply to him but my eyes widen seeing Camila's expression falter.
"No you don't want to sit next to me or you don't want to share the eye glasses?" She asks.
"Why the hell not? Why aren't you or Peter in position?" Fury asked, annoyance filling his tone.
"I-I didn't mean that." I quickly say, clearing my throat. "If you go ahead, I'll grab us a pair." I say and she nodded.
"I'll save you a seat next to me." She smiles before heading down the row to sit down. MJ headed down as well and I acted as if I was grabbing the opera glasses. Peter told Ned to cover for us and we were about to leave but I couldn't help but look back at Camila.
Brad handed a pair of the opera glasses to MJ and Camila then stood up from his spot. He turned back and saw me staring, proceeding to flip me off in the process then sit in between the girls.
I was about to go head down the row but Peter grabbed my arm.
"Don't. We have to go." He says and I groan. We both sprinted away, heading towards the cathedral.
Carthi's POV:
I notice that Camila had turned back to see if Y/n was coming back but I already knew she left for the mission.
"I'm not buying their excuse, let's go." MJ whispered and sneakily got up from her seat to head to the exit. Camila followed behind her and my eyes widened.
"Where are they going? Do you think they're heading to the carnival?" Betty whispered to Ned. "We should go."
"Babe, no. Let's stay." Ned replied but Betty already had gotten up from her seat. He turned to me and I rolled my eyes.
"We have to go or else the elementals will hurt them." I say and he nods. We quickly follow after Betty. "I have Y/n's web shooters just in case."
"What? Peter didn't give me his." He whines.
"That's because Y/n trusts me with her stuff." I say and he rolled his eyes.
Y/n's POV:
I looked around at the whole city of Prague as the people were enjoying themselves at the festival. There were occasional fireworks here and there, a couple small bands playing in the background, people basically having the time of their lives.
"We're in position." Peter's voice rang, interrupting my stares at the carnival. I quickly finishing changing into my black suit and focus on lookout.
"So far it's clear." I cough.
"Roger that. How's the suit?" Fury's voice rang in my ear as well.
"It's good." I respond.
"Well it's a little tight in the ol' webshooter--" Peter tries to say and I groan.
"Didn't need to know that."
Camila's POV:
"MJ, they can be anywhere." I say, looking around for either Y/n or Peter. "Y/n's probably sick like Ned said."
"I don't buy it. Knowing them two, they probably snuck away to come out here." She says, looking around by the ferris wheel. "Besides, Ned and Betty are here too."
She points up and lord and behold, they were sitting on the ferris wheel as it spun.
"There you guys are!" We both turn and see Carthi panting as if she had ran a mile. "Ned, Betty, and I were looking for you but then we separated somehow so I've been trying to find one of you at least." She says then wraps her jacket around her waist.
"Well we're here. Where's Y/n?" I ask but Carthi cleared her throat.
"At the hotel with Peter, remember? We have to get back at the opera house or Mr. Harrington will get mad that we ditched to come here." She says, attempting to drag us away but I pull my hand back.
"Since when do you care about what Mr. Harrington says?" MJ asks with a chuckle.
"I don't but I'm not trying to get kicked out of this trip early." She says, coughing at the weird amount of smoke forming around us. "What the hell?"
We turn to see that the fountain nearby started to steam.
"I-I know I'm sweating from running but I'm pretty sure it's not that hot out here." Carthi shakily says.
The ground started to rumble and I look down, seeing small flames coming up from the ground from where MJ and I stood. I felt a web stick to my arm and pulled me back, before the ground would split.
I turn to see Carthi holding two webs that were also attached to MJ and she broke the pieces off of her hand.
"Is that Spidergirl's webshooter?" I point but she quickly shoves it in her pocket.
"Woah look!" She points behind us.
Molten lava started to climb up the statue and as we continued to look up, similar to the water monster from Venice, the statue exploded and it formed the lava monster.
"Run!" Carthi says, dragging us away from the monster.
Y/n's POV:
"The monsters here. Beck, are you ready?" I ask, seeing the lava monster form.
"Almost there." He says. "Spiderman, your turn."
"Hey ugly!" Spiderman yelled out, making the monster turn with a growl. He leaped off the building to make it chase him close to the fire hydrant. I shot a web at the fire hydrant, harshly pulling it from the ground as the water bursted out, successfully hurting the monster in the process.
The lava monster attempted to punch where I stood but I swiftly dodge it on time and hop onto the next building. The monster noticed Peter was distracted as he attempted to move citizens out of the way near the carousel.
"Peter!" I yell.
But it was too late. The monster swung his arm, sending Peter rolling across the ground with a roar. It started to absorb the carousel ride and his form started to get bigger.
"Oh shit." I say and was about to help Peter but I see two people trapped on the ferris wheel. My eyes widen, realizing Ned and Betty were on the ride.
"No..." I trailed and saw the monster was going to hit Peter the second time but Mysterio luckily flew towards him and used his forcefield.
I shot two webs at the monster but immediately the flames torched them and instantly burned my hands. I yelp in pain but quickly put the flames out.
"We have to hit him with something he can't absorb." Mysterio calls out and I nod. Him and Peter dodge opposite sides and I rip the street lamp with my web shooters and throw it towards the monster.
It stuck on his chest and Peter threw the fire hydrant from earlier in the same spot as well. Myserio shot his beams and the monster screeched, showing that it hurt him.
"Make sure he doesn't get to the ferris wheel." Mysterio calls out as Peter and I threw more boulders at the monster.
"We're trying!" I yell, but instantly get slammed with his arm from the monster and crash against the car. I shoot a web at the ferris wheel but somehow missed but instead still feel that I pull something else.
I almost run to check what it is but the monster slammed his fist into the ground, creating cracks that reached to the ferris wheel. The monster was about to reach for it but Myserio blocked it off with his force field and attempted to push it back.
Peter swung on his web to reach the ferris wheel and shot various webs to tie it to a building so it wouldn't collapse.
"Ninjaman, save us!" Betty called out to me which made me internally roll my eyes.
How is it not obvious that I'm a girl.
"Night-monkey, get us down!" She called out again and I snickered.
Okay not complaining at my name.
I threw more boulders at the monster and Mysterio was aiming his blasts at every spot, weakening the monster. As I jumped from one of the buildings, the one in the middle of construction collapsed over and smashed against the monster.
It grew bigger as it absorbed the metal making my eyes widen, seeing that the monster got stronger. Peter's webs were tearing and I quickly ran to jump on the other side to hold the ferris wheel as well with my web shooters.
Mysterio flew higher and turned to face us, making his helmet disappear with a sad expression. "Whatever happens, I'm glad I met you kids." He smiles but I shake my head.
"No, no, no. Don't." I say.
"What are you doing?" Peter says, worry filling his voice.
Mysterio's helmet appeared again and he faced the monster. "What I should've done last time."
He absorbed the energy from his suit, radiating green energy as he started to yell out in pain.
"No!" Peter cries out as Mysterio dives straight into the monster, creating a hole through him and the light becoming too blinding to watch.
A burst of green energy particles came out, making all of us look away. Once the light disappeared, Peter jumped down from the ferris wheel to run to Mysterio. I tie my webs against the building and quickly help out Ned and Betty from the ferris wheel.
"Thanks Ninjaman." Betty says and pulls Ned into a hug. I shake my head in annoyance but Ned shrugs.
"Get to safety." I tell him and he nods, running away from the destroyed carnival.
I quickly run to where Peter was on his knees in front of Beck. I saw his eyes were open and he had a weak smile.
"You're insane." I laugh and offered my hand to pull him up. Peter grabbed his other hand as well and helped him stand to his feet.
"So is it over?" Agent Hill asks as Fury walked up to us.
"That should be the last of them." Beck coughed.
"But not the last threat we ever face." Fury says and faces Beck. "We need to stay vigilant. There's a void in this world for someone like you. Hill and I are heading to our headquarters in Berlin tomorrow...you should join us."
He shakes his hand. "Thank you...I might just take you up on that."
Fury turns to us next and I slid up my eye glasses so I can make direct eye contact with him.
"You two got gifts..." Fury trails but then looked at Peter. "but you didn't want to be here."
"Mr. Fury I--" He started to say.
"I'd love to have you guys in Berlin too...but you have to decide whether you're going to step up or not." He says and I scoff.
"Fury give him a break." I say but he keeps his eye contact to Peter. "He's just a kid."
"Stark chose you, he made you an avenger. I need that..the world needs that." He says and I saw tears forming in Peter's eyes. "Maybe Stark was wrong. Was he?" He asked and proceeded to walk back to his vehicle. "The choice is yours." He calls out before getting inside the car.
I look at Peter but he avoided eye contact from me. Beck patted his shoulder then smiled.
"Let's get a drink." He says and Peter follows behind him.
"I'll meet you back at the hotel." I say and Peter nods.
I slipped off my mask and shove them on my clip and walk back to the hotel. I heard running footsteps behind me and I turn to see Carthi who seemed out of breath.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I tried stopping MJ and Camila but I found them but then lost them in the crowd." She ranted.
"It's okay. We beat the elemental." I say and she smiled.
"That's great! Now we can have a normal vacation?" She asks but I shrugged.
"Fury wants Peter and I to go to Berlin tomorrow." I say and she stops smiling.
"Oh...well are you going?" She asks.
"That's the thing...I don't know. I don't know if I'm enough to be that yet." I say and she nods.
"Well whatever you choose, I'm here for you." she says and takes off the bracelet but I hand it back to her.
"Keep it. You never know these days."
"I used it like once and Camila saw me. I don't deserve it." She says but I shook my head.
"I might not always be there to protect you so you can have it." I say and she grins.
"Cool. Now I'm officially your sidekick." She says as we enter the hotel. "Also while I was running for my life, I did find a spot where you can take Camila tomorrow."
"Really?" I say as we go up the stairs.
"Yeah if you make a right, you'll see the St.Charles bridge that overlooks the town square and it's pretty big so it'll give you enough time to somewhat mess up while you guys walk." She teases.
"I'll take her tomorrow." I say but then Ned comes from the hallway, wearing a robe.
"Hey, Mr. Dell wanted me to tell you guys that we're heading back tomorrow." He says and my eyes widen.
"What? Why?" Carthi asked.
"Every place we've been to, there's been a monster. Of course our parents would call and want us to come back." Ned explained.
"But all the elementals are gone." I say but he shrugs.
"I told the same thing to Peter so he took off with MJ to do his big plan." Ned replied.
"Ned!" Betty called out.
"Coming sweetie!" He replied and quickly ran to where her room was.
"I better start packing then." Carthi said and fiddled with her bracelet. "At least I have somewhat enough stickers to put on my ukulele."
She walked away to her room and I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. The door beside me opened and Camila peeked her head out, still wearing the same attire from the opera house.
"Hey." She greets, crossing her arms. "Where were you earlier?"
"Um...I got lost." I trailed.
"Ned said you were sick." She said, trailing her eyes up and down. "You seem better. We were worried about you."
"Well I had to go to the store to get...medicine?" I question and she nodded slowly.
"Well at least you're back." She says and I nod. "So much for Paris, huh?"
"Yeah...would've been fun."
"Yep...well....goodnight." She trailed, shutting the door behind her.
"You look--" I tried to say but she shut the door. "...nice." I mumble. I looked around seeing if either Mr. Harrington or Mr. Dell were gonna come back but it was quiet.
God Y/n, it's either now or never. If Peter snuck out, that means I can probably get away with it. I can do this.
I took a step closer to her door and lifted my hand to knock but the door swung open, making me trip back.
"Oh--Hey?" Camila and I say in unison, and immediately felt my nerves kicking in.
I got this. I got this.
"Honestly, I'm bummed that this trip is already ending and I k-kind of want to do something fun that's not on the itinerary or with Harrington or with our friends and--"
"Yes." Camila interrupted my rambling.
"Yes as in you'll come?"
"Mhm." She nods simply.
"Really? Okay cool...I'll meet you outside in ten minutes?" I ask.
"Meet me outside in five minutes." She smiles and I felt my face begin to flush.
"Oh okay...uh bye." I say and she closes the door as I quickly run to my room.
I change out of the dress I was wearing and slid on jeans and a white t-shirt. I fixed my hair a bit and grabbed the gift from out of the bag. I carefully put it in my jacket pocket and slide it on. I grab my room key and shut the door behind me, quickly running down the stairs.
I leaned against the pillar, waiting for her to come down and the elevator doors opened, revealing Camila still wearing the same outfit except she had a black jacket over her dress and a backpack over her shoulders.
"So...where do you want to go?" I ask but she shrugged.
"Anywhere." She says and I laugh.
"Cool, let's go." I say and we walk out of the hotel.
I followed Carthi's simple directions and saw the bridge she was talking about. Lamp posts dimly lit up the bridge, luckily enough for the necklace to shimmer under the light.
"You know, I'm glad we're doing this." I say, breaking the silence between us. "It's no city of Paris but at least it's something.
"Y-Yeah, me too. It's okay." She coughed, as we strolled on the bridge. "Sorry for somewhat interrogating you about where you went and stuff, it was MJ's idea to look for you and Peter."
"It's okay." I say and felt our hands brush against each other. I quickly pulled away, hoping it wasn't too weird for her. "There's this thing that I've been wanting to talk to you about...for awhile." I start and she stopped walking as soon as we hit the middle of the bridge.
"Yeah?"
"It's our last night in Europe and..." I dig my hands in my pockets to grab the necklace. "I had this plan that I wanted to tell you--you know what. I'm just gonna say it, Camila I--" I pull out the necklace from my pocket and--
"am Spidergirl." She interrupts, making my eyes widen.
"What?" I weakly ask.
"That's what you're gonna say, that you're Spidergirl. Oh, and that Peter is Spiderman." She says but I shake my head.
"No...that's not true." I say and she shrugs.
"I mean I've been watching you for like awhile now and it's kind of obvious." She chuckles but I shake my head.
"I'm not Spidergirl." I deny.
"Y/n remember Washington? The fact that you disappear out of nowhere...for no reason? Susan Yang thinks Peter is a male escort and you collect the money for him." She says but I shake my head.
"I had stomach issues, remember?"
"Just like you had stomach issues tonight? Y/n I saw you sneak out." She crossed her arms. "MJ and I saw you guys fight that lava monster at the carnival."
"You didn't see me because I'm not Spidergirl. On the news it said it was night-monkey and Ninjaman." I say and she rolled her eyes, taking off her backpack.
"Right, Ninjaman. Okay." She mocked and opened her backpack.
"What are you doing?"
"Well did Ninjaman and Spidergirl use the same webs?" She asks, pulling out the device that had my webs all over it.
"I-I mean, maybe?" I question and then it hits me. "Were you only watching me because you thought I was Spidergirl?"
She looks down but then meets her eyes with mine. "Yeah...why else would I be watching you?"
I shove the gift back in my pocket. "Nothing I just--"
The device made a noise which caused Camila to accidentally drop the device. We both took a couple steps back, seeing a cloud form around us, an arm shape taking a swing and I duck to dodge it. It turned off after it did the action and I look around in confusion.
"What the hell was that?" I ask but Camila was frozen in her spot.
"I-I don't know." She whispered. I slowly reached to grab the device from the ground. "Is it like some kind of projector?"
"Yeah but it's way too advanced since the thing looked too real." I say and she stepped closer to me.
"Wait does that mean...all those monsters are fake?" She asks.
"That doesn't make sense because we were there, right? The fire, the destruction, it was real." I say and the projector turned back on once more.
The same wind elemental monster appeared and a hologram of Mysterio came out, showing that he was trying to defeat the monster.
"Mysterio?" Camila and I say in unison.
"Y/n!" We turn to see Peter and MJ running towards us, coming from the other end of the bridge. "I messed up really really bad!" He called out.
I look at Camila and clear my throat. "You're right, I'm Spidergirl and he's Spiderman." I say and Camila's eyes widen.
"Wait, you're serious? You're not joking?" She asks and I nod frantically. "You're a hundred percent serious because it's not funny."
"No I swear, I'm Spidergirl."
"I was only thirty-eight percent sure because MJ did this whole rant when we were at school and said how she suspected you and Peter were super heroes but then we saw Carthi have one of the web shooters and assumed it could've been her." She says and I nod. "Wait, why are you here? Why are you on the school trip? Why--"
I place my hands on her shoulders. "Look I know you have questions but we have to go." I say as soon as Peter and MJ run past us and I hand Camila the device so she can shove it in her bag.
"I can't believe I got it right." She smiles and we quickly run back to the hotel.
