31) A shocking video
- Monday after school -
Peter entered the lab. The woman wasn't there, so he went straight in. Dr. Bryat sat on a chair and worked. "Hello, Dr. Bryat", said Peter. "Peter! You're back!", he said happily. "Where is the woman from the reception...?", he asked, "I thought, she'd be there." "She's- She's on holiday...", Harvey Bryat lied.
Peter made himself ready and sat next to the doctor. "Have you heard of the murder here?" "Uhm... Yeah. Sad isn't it...?" "I think, it's worrying. They call the monster The Frick." "Okay... I haven't heard that..." "In school, everybody talks about it." "Oh..."
Dr. Bryat, aka Suttyn Ragnarson, looked at his phone and saw, that the video from the security cameras in the building were downloaded. "I'm going to... ehm... print something." "What can I do?", Peter asked. The doctor shrugged and went out of the room. Peter followed.
In the room, where the printer stood, Dr. Bryat sat down. He took out his phone and played the video. When he came to the time, when he didn't know what happened, he saw himself on the video. He got the injection from Raina. Till now, Dr. Bryat haven't noticed Peter. He taped on a paper and the doctor turned shocked around. Nobody was there...
Well, nobody he saw on the ground. That's because Peter was on the ceiling. He looked on the video and saw the same, Dr. Bryat saw. He's grown and the skin changed. Then he called something. Peter couldn't hear what. On the ceiling, Peter went back in the lab and played, like he hasn't seen anything.
Dr. Bryat was The Frick everyone talks about. "Aren't Savin and Riri coming?"
Peter was shocked and turned around. Dr. Bryat stood there and smiled at him. "No. I need to give them the cure... My sister gave it to Savin's sister today. Maybe tomorrow", Peter said.
"Okay." Dr. Bryat smiled and worked on something. "What can I do?", Peter asked. "Actually, nothing. You can go home. I'm on the finish line on something. Take a week off." "Okay..." Peter too his backpack and said: "Bye..." "Bye, Peter."
As soon as he was out of his sight Peter ran on top of the roof. He changed into his suit and swung home.
When he arrived, Morgan was already there. Tony, Pepper and she sat on the couch and cuddled. "Tony! Pepper! Morgan!", he called in a rush. They looked shocked at him and Pepper asked: "Why so early?" "Dr. Bryat is The Frick! I saw it!" "Wow...", said Morgan quietly. "He killed the woman from the reception!" "Shit!", said Pepper. "What are you going to do?", asked Tony. "I don't know. Maybe he'll stop taking the Bryonium and...-" "Do you really think so? I can image, that it's a bit like drugs, when your body is used to it", meant Tony and stood up. He went to Peter and lay his hands on his shoulders. "Listen... You won't go to the lab, until it's clear. Okay? I don't want you to end up like the woman! Understood?" "Okay", meant Peter sadly. He'll never get an internship, where he won't need to save the city... or the world...
Peter went upstairs. Morgan followed. In his room she meant excited: "That's great! The suits are finished and now we can train every day!" "The suits are finished?" "Yeah!" They ran in the basement and put the suits out of the 3D-Printer. Morgan put it on, while Peter was looking at his suit. "Why have I made a new one? Tony's is perfect! For what am I going to use this one?", he asked himself in his thoughts. "This is amazing!", said Morgan and turned to her brother. "You look great!", meant Peter. "I think so, too!" It was Tony. The kids were silent. "Come on! Did you seriously thought, I wouldn't notice that the suiter is active? Both of them?" Peter looked ashamed to the ground. "Come on, Peter. Don't blame yourself. It was my idea", meant Morgan. Tony looked at Morgan. "It really suits you." "Thanks, dad." "Pete? Why aren't you wearing yours?", Tony asked. "I- I don't know. I feel bad, that I made a new one. The one you made is just perfect. I don't need another one...", said Peter truthfully.
"Aww. You don't need to be sorry. It's okay. See it on the bright side! Now you can choose, which one you want to wear!", laughed Tony. They went upstairs and Morgan showed her suit proud to her mom. Peter brought the suit upstairs and hung it in his closet to the other one. He looked at them and sighed. Then he lay on his bed and saw the lake in front of him.
