Part 25
(1 month later)
With Peter
It's been a month since the press conference. After that my life started going up, but it was December so I had to study for the finals. I went to the Avengers Tower only 2 times after the assembly. People are trying to apologize. I even met that one couple. They immediately started apologizing. I can say how bad they are feeling. I forgive them because I was feeling bad for...unknown reason.
I continue chatting with MRB and the others. Once i sended them one vine video...they ignored it. Something is weird with them. It's like i have met them before. Something like childhood friends. One night me and MRB were chatting all night. And I mean ALL night. It was around 1 am when the others had enough spamming and made us stop. What they didn't know was that we kept texting in our private chat.
At the internship things are...interesting. I talked to Mr Stark once and even met some other interns. I didn't have that much time for the equation, but last week I finished my work on Tuesday, so I had pretty much time only for this. With my work from the last few weeks I was really close to solving it. I have never seen something difficult as this. I'm really worried what will happen if I get promoted, because if this is normal to the higher level workers I'm truly fired. I don't want to be that one in the whole level that no one knows how he got there, because he can't solve one easy equation. They will eventually notice how much I'm struggling and I will get fired.
I can't risk being fired, because May will...nevermind. I'm not doing enough to be promoted, but I'm doing enough to not be fired... I'm not doing my best, which means staying at the same place for a long time. Logan got promoted and now we are not at the same place. We haven't talked for like two weeks. Not that we don't want to, we just haven't seen each other. Or at least i want to talk to him, i don't actually know about him. People around me are getting promoted or fired. I'm still at the corner of the room.
I also haven't seen Mr Stark for a long time, both as Spiderman and Peter Parker. I understand him of course, he has better places to be than down here. But I saw Mr Clint falling from the vents once, probably running from something. A little after that Bucky sir almost broke the door, while opening it. His metal arm was pink for some reason. The other interns didn't pay attention to them, but I did pay attention. That's kinda weird, because they were mouth opened when Mr Stark came down here. Probably they are used to the avengers yelling and running around, because when Ms Natasha was yelling at Mr Clint in the main cafeteria no one really paid attention.
When Mr Clint saw Bucky sir, he just jumped back to the vents, while Bucky sir left the room, quietly. A week after that Bucky sir walked in, completely chill, eating his apple. He stops in the middle of the room and looks at his watch. Around 10 seconds later Mr Clint fell from the vents again, with pink hair and yellow clothes. People around started laughing and Mr Clint only pointed his finger at the other man, who was also laughing and said 'you are going to pay for this'. Ms Natasha burst in, also with pink hair. She was furious. When Bucky sir saw her he whispered 'oh no' and started running.
Now Mr Clint was laughing, but not for long. Bucky sir was yelling something like 'NAT I SWEAR IT WASN'T FOR YOU, IT WAS FOR CLINT'. They eventually left the lab and I heard with my super hearing that they kept chasing in the halls. I also stopped being surprised by the things that happen here, when Ms Maximoff and Mr Thor broke the window in the main cafeteria, trying to open it. Mr Thor got angry and accidently broke it. All that was around a week before.
Flash came back to school three days after the press conference. At first people kept being angry at him, but that passed soon after he gave them the answers on all of the exams. The teachers knew about that, but didnt do anything, scared that Flash is going to make his parents stop donating money to the school.
He again started to bully me, again started to believe in himself more than he should after the whole thing. He again started to think that he is on top of the world and everyone else has to treat him like he is the king. Disgusting. He didn't seem to learn his lesson. Mr Harinson didn't stop liking him. The principal closed his eyes for everything as usual. Said in one word-everything was like before.
With Tony
I haven't visited the interns labs in a long time. It's not like I don't want to... I just don't have that much time. I really want to just go down and see if that one kid, who i think is the baby, is promoted. There is no way he's not promoted yet. I'm not expecting to tell us in the group chat if he really is, because that will give him away very easily.
"Do you suspect someone?"Me and Steve were drinking our morning coffee. I nod."Who"
"One kid from lab 1A"I decided to tell him.
"Why do you think that this one kid from lab 1A is our baby"
"He is clearly smarter than everyone. I won't be surprised if he got promoted like 2 times by now"I explained.
"There are a lot of smart people in that company Tony. If that's the only reason that you think it's him-"I cut him off.
"He is just so...happy...and energetic all the time, like the baby"I tried to be more clear this time.
"Happy? Again, a lot of people are happy and smart that works here"He actually got a point"Plus if he is that happy and energetic ALL the time, maybe it is not him. Remember he lost his parents, then his uncle and only god knows what else is happening to him"
"...Yeah you are right. That kid from the lab- his name is Peter by the way, he probably have parents and family"
"Yeah... Didn't have to worry about money"
"Maybe have a brother or sister. Maybe both"
"Didn't have to be a hero from a young age"I think he is talking about himself now"Didn't have to deal with bullies everyday"
"Yeah and having dad, who loves him"I joined him. We sat in a silence after that, both thinking about our past.
"Anyway, you don't know if this 'Peter' is the baby, so try to figure it out"I nod and he left the room, probably going to find Bucky.
With Peter
Today was pretty awful. Flash was bullying me more than normal, because he heard me talking about the internship. He also took my money for lunch. May beat me up pretty badly this morning, but it's nothing I'm not used to. I also have a little problem with my time. I have to go straight to the internship after school. Ned wants to hang out together, something we do only on the weekends these days. I have to study for the exams at the end of this week and i just don't know when i will be Spiderman. On days like this I just want to dump everything and sleep all day.
I ignored the comments from Flash and practically ran to the subway. Two more stops...One more...There we go. I checked my watch and saw that I had time to walk to the tower, instead of getting the bus. I always prefer to walk. That's my way to clear my head of all the things I have to do.
Now I'm at my desk, trying to find the mistake that i accidently made.
"PARKER''I hate when he yells my name like that. Turns out that I have to deliver some coffee. After I did that I returned to my work. Not that long after that, Mr Davis called me again. Another coffee. Seriously, I became the coffee guy. I can't concentrate like that. After the 3th time he interrupted me I gave up. The only place he hasn't bothered me is the cafeteria, which became my most used room in this tower, after the lab.
I grabbed my paper and a pen and went there. Finally I can work in peace. I have around 40 minutes before he starts getting angry that i havent come back yet, so I was enjoying them as much as I could, drinking from my capri sun. I even put my headphones to completely zoom out.
With Natasha
Me and Clint were just leaving the training room, both hungry as hell.
"Guys did you leave us something?"He asked the others. I can clearly see that they didn't. All the plates were empty.
"Ugh come on. Clint let's eat something downstairs"He nods and we go to the elevator.
We were at the place where you get the food you want. Clint grabbed a burger and fries, while I decided to eat a salad with chicken. Or more like a chicken with salad. The room was full...again. Yes the place was really big, but it's like the only cafeteria in the tower, which is kinda weird.
"Hey look. Our friend from the last time"Clint pointed at the kid we met like a month ago. We nodded at each other and went to sit next to him.
"He seems busy"I said.
"Yeah. Better not bother him"I nod and sit at the other part of the table.
He looks really busy and focused at something. He was writing really fast and had his headphones on, blasting AC/DC. I watched him for a second, before focusing my attention to the food.
"What do you think he is doing?"He whispered.
"I don't know, but why is he here? I mean shouldn't he do things like that in the lab he is in?"I wondered.
"Yeah that's kinda weird. But what do you think he is doing?"He kept asking me that question, trying to see what he is writing.
"I don't know. Homework?"I assumed. It actually makes sense.
"Maybe that's why he is doing it here and not in the lab"
"Yeah maybe"We stopped assuming what he was doing and just ate.
He still hasn't noticed us and it's been around 10 minutes. We are almost done when...
With Peter
I found the mistake I was looking for. I was super fast. I was writing on the paper, that fast that my hand started hurting. That doesn't matter, because I have to write it, before I forget what it was. Things became a lot easier now, because there wasn't anything to distract me. When my full attention is on the paper the things just get easier. I told Karen to tell me when I have 5 minutes left, before this 40 minutes are over and I have to go back to the lab. I still have around 20 minutes, so the time is my smallest problem right now. I have to solve this. I'm really close to solving the whole equation, but for now i only have to do a small part.
I stare at the numbers and the letters on my list, trying to solve them. After around 5 minutes I figured it out. I started to write again. Then again a little pause. Then again writing, before I forget what my idea is. I was solving small parts when...
"I GOT IT"It slipped out of my mouth. I don't care if people around are watching me. I GOT IT. THE ANSWER. THE SOLVED EQUATION. I SOLVED IT. WITHOUT ANYONE'S HELP. After a whole month. I started writing even faster. The answer is...45. Just 45. Alright. I don't know what 45 means, but itS 45 AND I SOLVE IT. I shouldn't be that proud of myself. I mean there is a way more harder equation...but I'm proud of myself.
45. 4..5. The answer. I finally got it. I stretched out on my chair to move a little, because from so much sitting my back started to hurt. What I saw when I looked up shocked me so much that I fell. I fall on my back. The two people immediately get up to help me. When I sit back in my chair I look at them. They sat next to me.
"Are you ok"Ms Natasha asked me. I can't call them Ms Natasha and Mr Clint, because they will figure out that im spiderman.
"Yes, I'm ok.Umm. I didn't notice you guys"I tried to start a conversation.
"Yeah you were very focused at...whatever you were doing"Mr Clint smiled.
"What were you actually doing?"Ms Natasha asked me.
"Ohh. Just some equation I had been struggling for...a long time"I say. I was really nervous. I just don't want to reveal my identity.
"Peter, your 35 minutes are over"Karen whispered in my headphones. I had stopped the music, but my headphones were still on my ears.
"Oh my alarm. I have to go back to the lab"I grab my list and pull out my phone to check if I have notifications."Bye...umm... see you around"They also said goodbye and I went to the elevator.
I can't believe it. I solved it. I finally did it. The question now is-what am i going to do now? I can do a little of my work for school here. I mean i have like 3 hours till i'm free to go.
"Finally you came"Mr Davis was obviously pissed. He dropped on my desk one 10 centimeters work."To be done by the end of this day.''And with that he walked away. At least i know what to do. I started to become the coffee AND the trash boy. The person where everyone goes if they don't want to do the boring work. Bringing everyone materials or coffee.
That's probably why Mr Davis hasn't fired me yet. I like the people in this lab, but Mr Davis sends them all to me. Some of them even refused to give me work anymore. The others interns from high school are either fired or promoted, so now me and one girl with british accent are stuck here. In the end I managed to do some homework, but not as much as I liked to. That doesn't matter, because im still happy about the now solved equation.
The work day is finally over and now I'm sitting on top of a building, doing my history project. I have to multitask if i want to do everything. I promised Ned that we are going to hang out soon.
"Ms Natasha is that you?"I sensed the stares and i heard the steps."And maybe Mr Clint?"
"You and your stupid Spidey sense"I smirked and closed my text books."We wanted to scare you"
"I told him that this won't work"They sat next to me."So...Why aren't you coming to the tower?"
"Did we do something?"Mr Clint asked me. He was obviously confused and sad.
"What, no no no. You haven't done anything wrong"I tried to cheer him up...them* actually
"Then what is it?"
"I-...It's complicated...I have been busy with school, exams, internship, keeping my friendships and...things at home. And I have to put patrol in my day plan too."They seem to understand.
"Can we help with something"I didn't expect this. I thought they would only understand me. But they want to help me?
"Well i don't think you can do anything, but thank you. I really appreciate it"They nodded and stood up.
"Well we will leave you now to do your things, but come when you can"I nodded and they left. That's really sweet. They come here to check on me.
On days like these, I normally sleep for around 4 hours a night. I hate this time of the year. And on top of everything it's freezing cold outside. I want to sleep. I haven't gotten any sleep for nearly 24 hours, so you can guess how tired i am. And I will sleep only for...
"Karen whats the time"
"It's 11.23 pm Peter"I have to finish this project.
After around 20 minutes I was finally done. I put everything in my backpack and swing home. When I changed into my pajamas I jumped on the bed and immediately fell asleep.
A/N-Thats one of my favorite chapters for now btw
