The bus arrived a little early today, and because of that Peter found himself walking to school. In the rain of course, because the world hadn't done enough already. By the time he reached the school he was drenched from top to bottom, as were his papers and gym clothes. Great, if they didn't dry he would have to wear a uniform. He had to wear one once and Flash made fun of him the entire time and for about four months after. He had run out of things to say and kept milking that.

As usual he saw Ned  at his locker and walked over.
"Hey Ned" he greeted, the same as everyday.
Life is on repeat.

"Hey dude, there is going to be an assembly today. But like only for our science class, because we're the 'smarter' ones. I mean you are smart but I don't know about the rest of us."

"You are smart, don't kid yourself Ned you got the second best score last test. And what's the assembly about anyway?"

"Thanks man, and I'm not sure. I just over heard mr. Harrington talking about it with another teacher. It's right after lunch by the way, and will last the rest of the day so we get out of our calculus test"

"That's great, I did not study. And I guess we'll find out what it's about eventually" the monotonous sound of the bell broke up their conversation, Ned and Peter waved good bye and headed to their first classes.

Peter was on his way to History, he didn't mind that class. The teacher was fun anyway, he only forgot one thing. His clothes were still wet, a lot of peoples were it was raining hard. Also, his history teachers classroom was always freezing, but if they can survive then so can he.

Yeah, sometimes determination doesn't work out, because by the time he walked out of the room his nose was runny and he had a slight cough. I better not be getting sick we can't afford medicine at the moment. Wait, isn't my metabolism supposed to help me? Either way it was time for Chem, he loved this class because he has it with MJ and Ned his two best friends. Well only friends, despite everyone knowing he's Spider-Man they still don't like him. Thanks to Flash's exquisite word choice they now call him 'Freak' and 'Mutant' when ever they see him.

He tries to block them out and bottle it up until he gets home. He's pretty good at it, he does it every day.

"Hey peter" MJ greeted. Weird she always greets me by saying "sup loser"

"Hey MJ"

"Woah, MJ you called peter by his name!"

"Don't act so shocked Loser. He looks like he's dying"

"Feel like it too, but do I really look that bad?"

"Yeah she's right man, are you sick" Ned asked.

"Might be" Peter coughed.

"Well either go to the nurse or just take a nap now, all we're doing is the group lab."

"Really? I feel bad making you guys do the work"

"It's all good, you need to sleep" Ned responded.

"What if Mr. Harrington comes over?"

"We'll tell him you look like you died"

"Thanks guys you're the best" and as soon as Peters head hit the table he was out like a light.

He woke up again to the feeing of someone shaking him awake. "What?"

"We're having a lockdown, come on we have to hide" peter just nodded and dragged his weak body off of the lab stool. "Grab your- oh I'll grab it Ned go"

"Ok" Ned helped peter walk towards the hidden back room. He set him on the ground in the corner near the bookshelves, hidden from view.

"What's happening does anyone know" peter whispered, the hairs on his arms and neck were sticking up.

"Dude, just listen. You can hear right?"

"Yeah, where's MJ?"

"I'm here, now listen"

Peter took a deep breath and focused his hearing on the only sound in the school. It's sounded like an engine, or repulsers of some kind. 'We need to get them out of the school, there are kids in here' 'yeah I know mr.ice cube don't you think I thought of that I'm like twelve hundred times smarter than you' 'boys break it up, they're going out let's follow' 'yes ma'am' 'yEs mA'aM' 'do you ever stop mocking me tony?' 'Of course not, it's fun' 'let's head out then'

The sound of voices drifted away just as he put two and two together.

"What is it?" At this point he could feel the stares of everyone in his class.

"Um, Captain America, Black Widow, and Iron Man are, were here fighting aliens or something but they're gone"

"Oh ok then, how long do we stay here?" Some one asked from across the room.

"I'm not sure, I think they'll tell us" answered mr. Harrington.

It took approximately two hours for them to call off the drill. Even though every threat had left the school, Peter could hear it. The fight had moved about five blocks away, and was moving farther away.

During those two hours peter fell asleep again, and was woken by Ned asking him what he heard. Which at that point was everyone's heartbeats, and blinking, and nervous tapping fingers. It took a lot of strength which he didn't have to stop himself
from spiraling.

"All classes may resume lessons, this is your principal, all clear I repeats all clear. Code word: vivacious" all the lights turned on at once and people started getting up.

"Peter, geez here" MJ offered an arm to lean on while Ned grabbed their backpacks

"What" Peter asked.

"You look like you're going to drop dead any minute"

"Oh" He did feel like that too.

"Ok class, we just got the ok to go to the Auditorium for the guest speaker. Let's head on over, you can leave your bags because we'll be coming back here after" mr Harrington explained.

"Let's go Pete" MJ said softly as she helped him walk to the auditorium. They collapsed into three of the front row seats.

Another half an hour when buy and the fighting sounds stoped so peter could think clearly now. Twenty minutes after that the lights turned off and something landed on the stage. When the lighted turned back on Tony Stark was on stage and all the kids started screaming which made Peters growing migraine worse. He was excited though he had so many questions.

"Hello, I'm here for some kind of 'special speech' so I guess I'll answer some questions or something" almost every hand was raised, including peter weak one. "Um yes you, kid in the front blue sweatshirt"

So it was Peters turn, "hi yes, my names Peter Parker, and I was wondering if you and Dr.Banner are working on anything new?"

"You're Spider-Man aren't you?" Of course he had to point that out.

"Yes sir" a bunch of people somewhere behind Peter booed, he shouldn't have raised his hand.

"Excuse me, but yes Bruce and I have been working on a way to incorporate our clean energy into cars. It's nice to meet you Mr.Parker. Next question?"

Hands shot up again.

Tony POV

As soon as the kid said his name was Peter I made the connection. I mean who couldn't, his voice was identical to the voice of the kid on the phone. Then the kids booed when I pointed out that he's Spider-Man and I realized the cause of his pain, or at least part of it. I have to keep an eye on him through this he doesn't look well.

I answered a few more questions and it was time for them to go, except when I turned back around the were all gone except for Peter and his three friends. They were trying to help him stand up, maybe he is sick.

"Hey, need some help?" I ask walking down, Peter looks up.

"No, superhero's don't need help, I can walk by myself" he pushed his friends away and started walking towards me. He got about five feet and fell face first. Luckily I was there to catch him or his nose would've hurt for a while.

"Yes they do, is it ok if I take you to the tower, and see what's wrong? I thought you weren't supposed to get sick because of the advanced healing?"

"Yeah, sure and I don't know. I'm supposed to be ok by now"

"Alright, we'll figure it out" Tony put his arm around peter and helped him walk towards the exit where Happy was parked. Ned followed giving him Peters back pack, he and MJ both waved as the car pulled away from the school.

"I hope he's ok" Ned said.

"Me too" MJ agreed.
