CHAPTER TWO

Izzy is now at Decathlon meeting. She doesn't like to brag, but she's one of the top students in her class. She also honestly loved being on the Decathlon team. Izzy was currently doodling in her sketchbook, answering a question Liz asked here and then without looking up which shocked some of her classmates since they didn't think she was paying attention. She decided to glance up from her sketchbook, noticing Peter having a conversation with Mr. Harrington, who's in charge of the Decathlon team, and the conversation didn't look good.

"Peter, it's nationals." Mr. Harrington reminded Peter. 

Izzy furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what the two were talking about. She connected the dots, figuring out that Peter must be not going to nationals. She frowned upon figuring that out. She knows that he probably wants to stay in case her uncle might need him for some help, but she's going and she's a superhero (kind of) so she doesn't understand why Peter wouldn't go.

"I can't go to Washinton. If Mr. Stark needs me, I have to make sure I'm here." Peter explained.

From his place sitting on a chair with his feet laying on another chair, Flash speaks up. "You've never been in the same room as Tony Stark."

"For your information, Eugene," Izzy chimes in, looking at Flash with a glare. Flash glares back at her, obviously not liking the fact she used his real name. "He has been in the same room as Tony Stark before."

"Oh?" Flash raises his eyebrows. "And how would you know that?" He smirks. "Do you, like, stalk Peter?"

Izzy's eyes widen, ignoring the way she feels her face warm up, and she shakes her head. "What? No. I-I'm also in the Stark Internship he's in."

"Okay," Flash slowly nods, looking like he doesn't believe her. "If you're in the Stark Internship as well, then why aren't you not going to nationals?"

"Shut up, Flash." MJ cut in, earning a glare from Flash. MJ doesn't seem to be phased by his glare though. "You're annoying all of us." Izzy glanced at MJ with a thankful smile and MJ sent a small smile to her before she turned her attention to her book she was reading.

"Wait," Cindy, another member of their team, speaks up, looking around at everyone with confusion. "What's happening?"

Another member of their team named Sally, who was laying on the floor highlighting notes, replies with, "Peter's not going to nationals."

Panic forms on Cindy's face and she looks at Peter. "No, no, no."

The dark-skinned boy sitting beside her named Abraham, presses the bell on the table in front of the two teens. He looks at Peter with confusion. "Why not?"

Liz frowns at Peter. "Really? Right before nationals?"

"Decathlon isn't all he's quitting." Izzy sighs, her lips forming into a frown. "I mean, he already quit marching band and robotics lab." She was mainly upset about Peter quitting robotics lab (and now Decathlon) because she's in robotics club. She joined robotics lab mainly because Peter wanted her to join so he wouldn't be lonely. 

Everyone looked at her with surprise, Peter being the one who was the most surprised out of everyone. Peter didn't think she knew that, but he should've realized she would find out that he's been quitting clubs to focus more on being Spider-Man. What he doesn't know is that Izzy was aware of all of this because, as her feelings for Peter grew, she found herself paying more attention to him than usual.

Liz glances over at Flash. "Flash, you're in for peter."

"Ooh, I don't know." Flash shakes his head. "I gotta check my calendar first. I got a hot date with Black Widow coming up."

Abraham presses the bell again, rolling his eyes as he smiles a bit. "That is false."

Izzy couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her lips. She had to admit Abraham was really funny. Mr. Harrington sighs while he looks at Abraham. "What'd I tell you about using the bell for comedic purposes?"

****

Once the meeting was over, Izzy decided to take a run around the city. And by run she meant having fun with her super speed. She stopped when she got to the Joya Cafe. 

The Joya Cafe is a cute yet simple cafe in New York City owned by a nice couple named Elias and Oriana. Izzy honestly thought of the couple like family, she even thought of them as her second parents. Elias and Oriana were high school sweethearts and have been married since they've gotten out of college. The reason why Elias and Oriana named their cafe 'The Joya Cafe' is because joya is a type of hummingbird and they have hummingbird feeders outside of the cafe where there's a seating area for people to eat there.

"Hey!" Luella, one of the employees at the cafe, greets Izzy when the teenage girl walks inside. Luella was standing behind the counter and she waves at the brunette-haired girl. "Izzy, how was school today?" 

Luella is a black-haired kind-hearted woman in her mid-twenties who works at the animal shelter on the weekends and at the cafe during the week. She's also a family friend of the Ridley family. Luella had even babysit Izzy when she was little so they had formed a close friendship over the years. She became like an older sister to Izzy. What was really interesting though is the fact that Luella is the daughter of Mr. Delmar who owns the shop 'Delmar's Deli-Grocery'.

"It was good." Izzy answers, taking a seat at one of the stools at the counter. "Besides the fact that Peter is quitting all of his clubs."

"Oh, that sucks." Luella frowns. "But hey," She smiles said the next sentence in hopes of cheering Izzy up. "At least you'll still see him in class and when you're out of school."

"Yeah," Izzy smiles a bit and nods. "That's true."

"There's our favorite teenager!" Izzy's smile widens upon hearing Oriana's voice. Oriana walks out from the kitchen and over to stand in front of Izzy while Luella went to help out another customer. The red-haired woman points at Izzy, pretending to look at her with a stern expression. "You've been doing good in school, right?"

"Of course." Izzy chuckled.

"You want your usual?" Oriana asked her and began walking over to the machine where the milkshakes were made, knowing Izzy's answer would be yes.

"Well, yeah." Izzy replied in a 'duh' tone. 

Oriana chuckles as she made a vanilla milkshake. After she was done, she set the glass in front of Izzy. "Here you go."

Izzy grins. "Thanks." She takes her backpack off her shoulders and sets it on her lap. She goes to open the front pocket where she kept her wallet, glancing at Oriana with raised eyebrows. "How much do I owe you?"

Oriana shakes her head, sending her a small smile. "It's on the house."

Izzy felt a little guilty about not paying, but she appreciated Oriana's offer and wouldn't deny free food. She smiles at her. "Awe, you're the best."

Oriana grins. "Yeah, I am the best."

****

Izzy soon went home after talking with the employees and even helping clean up a bit. When she got home, she noticed a note on the kitchen table and when she got closer to read it, she saw it was from Andrew. He explained he had to work late and that Zander was hanging out with some friends for awhile, but he left some money for her for dinner, and assured her to call either of them if she needed anything. 

Izzy sighed slightly, picking up the note, and threw it into the trashcan after crumbling it up. She knows her brother mean well, but she just wished they were home often. She didn't like coming home to an empty house. She walked up the stairs to her bedroom and went over to her closet which was one of the ones that had a sliding mirror for a door. She pushed the mirror door to the side and walked into her closet. 

After pushing by some of the clothes, a pad code was seen on the left side of the wall. It was barely visible, and it blended in thanks to it being the same color as the wall was painted. When she pushed in the code, a click was sounded, signaling Izzy she got the code right.  No one knew about her secret hide out and her password other than her family, Peter, and Vivian. Her password was the date that she and Peter met. The wall opened from the left and right, like what an elevator door would do and it revealed her hideout.

Her hideout was had blue neon lights on the wall, the main color of the wall being a dark grey color, she had her logo on the door and on one of the walls. There were two of the same tables on each side of the room and one round table in the middle. Toward the back of the room was an empty area where she was able to practice her super speed. Her hideout was basically like her batcave. It was where she kept her suits, it had different technology and gadgets, and there was a big enough place in there for her to practice her super speed. This hideout was made all thanks to her uncle, Tony, and she's thankful that he made it for her because now she has a place to do hero work and practice her powers.

(instead of the ef on the door & on the wall, it's a double e, standing for elektra. the door would be the wall to her closet) 

She walked over to the right side of the room, towards the back where a few glass cases were that held some of her suits. With her uncle's help, they made some suits with different designs and some with different abilities. They made those just in case something happened to the main one she wore. She went with wearing the main suit, and like her other suits, this one is made of reinforce tri-polymer, making it resistant to thousand degrees of intense heat. She had earpieces for all suits that were able to connect to the Avengers' earpiece if needed when she fought with them. She also gave an earpiece to Peter so that they could communicate easier when they do patrols together. 

Izzy smiled and changed into her suit before she super sped out of the house (after she locked it up and grabbed her keys to the house, of course). "Hello, Izzy." Izzy's AI, Eve, greeted. Izzy decided on making her own AI which was connected to her sound and computer system in her room. She named it Eve after her mom because it was like she was always with her. 

"Hi, Eve." Izzy responds. "Could you contact Peter Parker for me?" 

"Contacting Peter Parker now." Eve announced.

"Thanks." Izzy smiled slightly, her smile widening when a few seconds later she heard Peter's voice.

"Hey, Izzy!" 

"Hi, Parker." Izzy greeted him.

"You ready to patrol?" Peter asks. "I'm at the place we always meet up."

"Okay, I'll be there in a few seconds." Izzy replied, getting closer to their meetup place. 

Meanwhile, at the meet up place (which was on top of the roof of Peter's apartment building), Peter sat on the edge with his feet hanging off as he looked around to spot a familiar blue blur zoom by. "I don't see you yet." Peter spoke to Izzy after a few moments of silence and no sign of Izzy.

"On your left!" Izzy exclaimed.

Peter looks to his left and jumps, startled when he suddenly felt a gust of wind and he saw Izzy standing beside his left side. Peter calms down after a few seconds and gets off the edge, standing in front of Izzy.  "Could've warned me before you almost made me fall off the roof."

Izzy puts her hand on her hips, looking at him with a smirk. "What's the fun in that?"

Peter rolls his eyes playfully and puts his mask that he was holding on. "You ready to patrol?"

"Yep." Izzy grins. "Let's go."

****

Their night wasn't that eventful as they hoped it would be. First, some guys asked Peter to do a flip and for Izzy to show off her electricity powers, Izzy had to admit they seemed the two guys were alright. Then Peter trapped a guy with his webs because he thought the guy was breaking into the car he was standing by when in reality it was his guy and he couldn't get in because he lost his keys. 

Izzy felt embarrassed and a bit angered during that moment since a fought was brought on during that neighborhood. The neighbors were angered when the car alarm went off and had started yelling at Peter and Izzy despite the fact Izzy didn't do anything. She felt bad for Peter since he was just doing what he thought was right and the two teens didn't know the car actually belonged to the guy after he said it was his.

Izzy and Peter went through the city side by side, one in the air and one on the ground. They got to the point where Izzy was on the same roofs that Peter was swinging above and she stopped whenever she saw Peter suddenly fell right on his face.

Izzy couldn't help the laugh that escapes her lips. Even though she couldn't see Peter's expression she could tell he was annoyed by the tone in his voice. "Glad to see you're making fun of my pain instead of being concerned."

"I'm sorry." Izzy apologizes with a small laugh. "It was hilarious." She had an amused smile on his face, but she looks at him with concern. "But seriously, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good." Peter replies and stands up. "I'm good."

****

Now the two best friends were sitting on the railing of a fire escape to an apartment building. Peter had informed Izzy on what he did while Izzy got ready for their nightly patrol and now he was calling Happy and Izzy wasn't for sure why because she thought Happy didn't like him and she figured Happy was annoyed with Peter by now for leaving all those messages. Izzy stayed silent though, looking out at the setting sun with a smile on her face.

Peter told Happy his report for tonight and then hung up the call with a sigh leaving his lips. "Why would I tell him about the churro?" He asked himself, obviously annoyed with himself for saying that.

Izzy chuckles. "No idea." She looks at him with a sympathetic smile. "And I'm sure he'll call sometime soon, Pete."

Half of Peter's mask was raised up so she was able to see the small smile on his lips. "Yeah, I hope so." Peter glanced at his web shooters that were low and he ejected the cartridge. It suddenly shot up when he pressed it to unlock the compartment, startling Peter and Izzy.

They both went to grab the small lid, but Peter was the only one who fell forward as he caught the lid. "Spidey!" Izzy exclaimed, not saying his name loud in case any people were nearby. She looked at him worriedly and she sighed with relief upon realizing he was sticking to the bars of the railing. She forgot that his suit had the ability to stick to things. 

Peter takes a shaky breath, and he was breathing heavily. He was obviously shaken up by what just happened and Izzy didn't blame him. Peter glances at Izzy. "I'm okay." He placed the cartridge in his belt, looking across the street when he overheard people talking.

Izzy looks in the direction Peter is looking at, raising her eyebrows when she notices what seemed like robbers breaking into a closed bank that had what looked like ten ATMs lined up against the wall inside. Peter looks back at Izzy with a grin, obviously excited that he and Izzy were able to fight some real crime. "Finally something good."

After Peter put his mask back on to cover his face, he uses his webs to swing over to the bank while Izzy super speeds over there, getting there before Peter does. They both were equally excited to actually be superheroes. Izzy was the last to enter the cool air conditioned building, following Peter inside. Peter awkwardly tries to do a casual but cool looking pose, leaning one hand on the wall and put his other hand on his hip. Izzy stood beside him with her arms crossed. 

"What's up, guys?" Peter questions in a casual tone, gaining the attention of the four robbers. "You forgot your PIN number?"

Izzy raises her eyebrows when the four robbers looked at her and Peter, noticing they wore Avengers toy masks, consisting of Thor, Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man. "Woah, you're the Avengers!" Peter exclaimed, pointing at the robbers and Ironman is the first to react, aiming his gun at Izzy and Peter. 

Peter raises his hands in defense. "What are you guys doing here?" He aimed his left hand at the gun the Ironman robber is holding, shooting web at the gun and twisted the gun, making it hit the Ironman robber and the Thor robber (who was now standing beside the Ironman robber) in the face. The two men groaned in pain as the gun dropped to the floor.

"Man, can't believe you guys have the audacity to not have Black Widow, and Hawkeye with you." Izzy scolds. She clicks her tongue and shakes her head. "I'm disappointed in you guys." When Hulk went at her, throwing a punch, Izzy grabbed his arm and twisted it backwards. She kicked him in the stomach and let go of his arm as he fell backwards.

"Good to finally meet you guys." Peter commented, punching the Thor robber in the face. That didn't seem to do much damage so he jumped up, sticking to the roof with his hands and kicked Thor with both legs, causing the robber to fly backwards into the wall. Peter was now hanging upside down and he glanced over at Izzy, who just ducked from getting punched by Hulk.

"You know, Speedy, I thought Thor would be more handsome in person." 

Izzy chuckles and nods in agreement. "Yeah, I thought so too." She continues to avoid aimless punches from the Hulk robber and she got annoyed with having to do this a lot so she kicked his legs out from under him, sending the robber to the ground. "A little upset that he's not what I pictured."

Peter leans away just in time when he looks over, avoiding the punch the Iron Man robber threw at him. "Iron Man. Hey, what are you doing robbing a bank? You're a billionaire." He caught the punch the Iron Man robber was about to throw and the Iron Man robber lost his balance.

Meanwhile, the Hulk robber stands up and manages to push Izzy roughly, catching her off guard and she stumbles back into the wall a bit. She winced at the rough impact when she hit the wall. That gave him the advantage to rush over to the high tech weapon laying nearby while she was distracted. Izzy gains her balance quickly just as the Iron Man robber fell into the Hulk robber, sending them both to the floor. The Captain America robber picked up the high tech device that had been used to pull the metal door off the ATM and aimed it at Peter. 

Peter jumps at the robber but is suspended into air by the high tech device that was now on and some sort of blue energy surrounds Peter. "Hey-Oh, this feels weird." Izzy watches with worry when he's thrown against the wall. "What is that thing?" Peter looks up from his place on the ground. The Captain America robber aims the high tech device at Peter again and he's encased by the blue energy. Izzy assumed it was some kind of anti-gravity device because along with Peter the money around him flew up.

"I'm starting to think you're not the Avengers." Peter spoke while he was thrown up against the ceiling and against the floor a few times. Peter stuck his hand to the floor to keep in place to give him enough time to shoot a web at a cabinet behind the Captain America robber.

"Thanks for stating the obvious." Izzy sarcastically commented, watching as Peter yanked the cabinet forward and it crashed into the Captain America robber, causing him to fall and lose his grip on the anti-gravity device.

The money was still flying around in the air because the anti-gravity device was still on and by that point the other robbers had gotten up. Peter and Izzy fought the robbers that were left, not knowing that from across the street, Mr. Delmar in his shop was calling 911 about what he was seeing in the bank.

"Alright, guys, let's wrap this up." Peter sticks to the closed door, kicking the Thor robber into the glass. "It's a school night."

Izzy uses her electricity manipulation to shoot an energy blast at the Iron Man robber, the energy feeling like getting hit by a stun gun to the robber and she did this just before he could use the high tech device on Peter "Can't believe you're thinking about school during a fight." Izzy chuckled. She ducked just in time when the Captain America robber threw a punch at her. She stood up and punched him, getting his shoulder and he managed to throw a punch at her shoulder pretty hard. 

"I mean, education's important, right? Don't judge me for caring about school." Peter defends himself, now standing by the Iron Man robber and he lifts up the robber's mask. "So how did jerks like you get tech like this?" 

"No. Wait, wait, wait!" Izzy quickly shocked Captain America with her electricity manipulation, making him feel like he was being tazed and he fell to the floor in pain. Her attention went away from Captain America to Peter the minute she heard the panic in his voice. She gasped upon seeing the Hulk robber had a gun with purple energy surrounding the ends of it. The strong force of the gun caused the Hulk robber to get knocked off his feet and Izzy and Peter were thrown backwards because of getting hit by how powerful the blast was. The plasma blast cut through the wall and hits Mr. Delmar's store across the street. 

From her place on the floor, Izzy glances at Mr. Delmar's shop with worry. Part of the building was collapsed, and there were small fires outside of the building. Izzy felt a bit lightheaded after being thrown backwards and thanks to Peter, she got back up on her feet. He puts his hand on her arm, keeping it there until he knew that she was steady on her own and with his other arm he brushes off some soot that was on her shoulders. "Mr. Delmar!" After making sure Izzy was okay, Peter rushed over to Mr. Delmar's store. 

Izzy knew that the robbers wouldn't get up until the police were there because of how they all laid on the floor in pain. But she did shoot an electric sphere-that's can be the size of a golf ball or a watermelon, but she used the size of a golf ball- to hit each of the robbers, causing them to fly backwards into the wall and knocked them out. She knew that if people were hit by the golf ball size electric sphere you would only be unconscious for a few minutes, but if you were hit by the watermelon size electric sphere then you would be unconscious for a couple of hours. 

She super sped over to Mr. Delmar's store just as Peter helped Mr. Delmar up. Izzy lets out a sigh of relief to see that he's alive-he's wheezing and coughing, but he's alive and that's all that matters. Izzy's eyes widen when she didn't see the cat, Murphy, anywhere in the store. She searched the store for Murphy, sighing with relief when she spots the cat. By the time she walked outside, cradling the cat in her arms, she heard police and firetruck sirens. She walked over to Mr. Delmar, who was now leaning against a poll.

"Here's your cat, sir." She spoke politely, carefully handing Murphy over to Mr. Delmar.

Mr. Delmar breathes heavily, taking his cat from her. He smiles thankfully at her. "Thank you."

The two teenagers then decided on getting on top of the roof, neither one wanting to meet with the authorities. "You think I should call Happy?" Peter asked Izzy.

Izzy cringes. "He probably doesn't want to hear about this, Pet-"

"I'm gonna call him." Peter interrupts, getting his phone out of his belt. He calls Happy, putting him on speaker. "Happy, the craziest thing just happened to me!" Izzy couldn't help the amused smile that forms on her face at how enthusiastic Peter was about this and she just knew Happy didn't feel the same way. "These guys were robbing an ATM with these high tech weapons-"

"Hey, take a breath, okay? I don't have time for..."

"Yeah, but-" Peter interrupted Happy.

"ATM robberies..." Happy continues. "Or the thoughtful notes you leave behind. I have moving day to worry about. Everything's gotta be out of here by next week."

Izzy's eyes widen and she furrows her eyebrows together, wondering why her uncle is moving. "Wait. You're moving?" Peter questions. "Who's moving?" 

"Yeah, don't you watch the news?" Happy inquires. "Tony sold Avengers Tower. We're relocating to a new facility upstate where, hopefully, the cell service is much worse."

"Okay, how come my uncle didn't tell me about this?" Izzy spoke up, letting her presence be known to Happy. She sounded a bit upset when she spoke because she is upset. She doesn't watch the news and she figured Tony would tell her if something like this happened.

"He didn't want you to worry about it and bombard him with questions about why he's moving." Happy told her and Izzy nodded. That makes sense. That's definitely something she would do. She pouted and crossed her arms. She's still upset her uncle didn't tell her.

"But what about me?" Peter questioned in a sad tone.

"What about you?" Happy responded and in Izzy's opinion he spoke in a rude tone that was uncalled for.

"Well," Peter jumps from the roof and onto a nearby lamppost as Izzy super speeds to the ground below, getting to the ground by the lamppost before Peter got to the lamppost. "What if Mr. Stark needs me or something, I don't know, big goes down?" Peter slides off the lamppost, landing on his feet beside Izzy on the ground. "Can I please just talk to Mr. Stark?" The two teens began to walk down the dark alleyway they were at.

"Look, just stay away from anything too dangerous. I'm responsible for making sure you're responsible, okay? I'm talking to you too Izzy." Happy adds. "Stay away from anything too dangerous and keep an eye on Peter while you're at it. We both know he's not that responsible."

"Yeah, yeah." Izzy chuckles. "I got it."

"I am responsible!" Peter defends himself, taking his mask off to reveal his face. Izzy follows him near a dumpster, wondering why they were near a dumpster and a look of disgust appears on her face because of the bad smell. Peter glances around the dumpster, his face falling when he doesn't see his backpack. "Oh-Crap, my backpack's gone." 

"That doesn't sound responsible." Happy noticed.

"I'll call you back." Peter said and Izzy could tell by the look on his face and the tone of his voice that he was disappointed.

"Feel free not to." Happy spoke and the call ended.

A/N yes the picture i used for izzy's hideout is from lab rats elite force! i decided to use that for her hideout cause i really liked the layout of it & thought it was smth like izzy would have her hideout to look like. anyway, im loving izzy & peter
