013- Burning Iris

Song: Navy Blue - HASANI

Anastasia's morning alarm chiming into her dreams, the opening curtain call for her day. She stretches her limbs without cracking a peek into the sunlight, humming in relief from falling back asleep.

Another alarm buzzed against her ear, "shut up." She whined trying to snooze her phone without opening her eyes. She snuggled back into a comfortable circle hugging her pillow to sleep.

Minutes later another Alarm rang but it was louder, "UGH, please let me sleepppp." She cried as she opens her chocolatey brown eyes. "OH Shit!" Her eyes stretched open looking at the time.

"Fuck, I am going to be late." Anastasia quickly jumped out of bed feeling the cold floor. Chills running down her spine as she ran towards the bathroom.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck." She blurted as she grabbed and her clothes quickly sliding them on. "Shit shit shit." She grabbed her toothbrush and began to brush.

"Ugh," she groaned, "disgusting." She spat out the toothpaste, quickly finished brushing her teeth. Running out of the bathroom and grabbing her shoes and backpack.

"Morning, kid." Tony greeted the young girl. Tony's eyes fled back to the news where they were broadcasting Ironman roaming New york.

"No time to chat, got to go." She simpered at Tony, placing her shoes on her feet. "Shit my gloves." Anastasia runs back to her room grabbing her gloves and quickly putting them on.

"You know the rule" Tony reminded the young girl, Anastasia nodded. "Lunch money is on the table." Taking another sip of his coffee as he looked back down to the girl.

"Thank you!" She ran off, approaching the table.

"A 100? Are you serious?" She shouted out from the front door.

"I don't carry cash, be happy I had a bill." He yelled back in response.

Anastasia ran down the Lobby, Happy who was waiting for her was leaning on the car looking at his watch.

"You're late. I told you 7:45" He grunted opening the door to the car.

"I know, I know." Anastasia repeated, The two quickly jumped into the car,

"Am I going to be late?" She asked but happy chose to ignore.

The whole drive Anastasia kept phasing out, almost a little anxious. This was her second day of school and she was still nervous. Anastasia could feel the toothpaste in her mouth and her clammy hands underneath her gloves. Her hands were sweaty but she couldn't take off her gloves, especially if there was somebody near her even if it was happy.

Anastasia finally arrived at school, quickly she jumped out of the moving car not noticing the vehicle was still moving.

"Woah kid be careful." Happy warned,

"Thank you!" Eagerly ignoring him she slammed the door, running past the pile of kids.

The halls were flooded by kids roaming around, the chatter was so loud it was impossible to get around. The voices began to yell and the walls and kids began to feel like she was being suffocated.

Anastasia pushed herself through the crowd of people like a linebacker getting through to the endzone, pushing everyone in her way. Her eyes began to burn from irritation and claustrophobia.

She finally made it in front of the door almost out of breath, "you're gonna be late." Michelle's voice crept up on her causing her to jump.

"No, I'm not, I'm already here." Anastasia watched the girl walk into class, without hesitation the bell rung.

"ugh."

~

English flew by fast, since it was her first day in second period, Anastasia sat out of a test the rest of the kids had to do. Instead, she reread her syllabus and rules but it was better than taking a test so she was pretty happy about it.

Anastasia decided to meet up with the boys at the library but they weren't anywhere near. Rather than looking more for the boys, she walked around the room seeking some good books she could get her hands on.

She took a seat and began to look around, anxiety crawled into her head.

"Loner." MJ's voice came from under a book.

"But you're alone also." Anastasia squinted her eyes. She leaned her back to the chair putting her feet on the table.

"so?" she scoffed as she melted her head back into her book.

"Hey there, hot stuff." Flash approach her,

"Fuck, is everyone here not a dick or weird?" She murmured, as flash sat next to her.

"I got my driver's permit, you want to hitch a ride with me, maybe go get some ice cream? A date?" Flashed leaned closer to Anastasia.

"y- you want to go on a date with me?" Anastasia gasped

"yes! I mean ya, ya it's whatever." He coughed adjusting his voice.

"aww... Really I'm... I just-" She fluttered her hands pretending to cry from joy. "-Don't care." She got up from her seat as Flash followed quickly followed behind her.

"What?" His voice squeaked, she tapped her fingers against the book bored of the conversation.

"you idiot you can't get your permit until you're 15 ½, You're fourteen." She rolled her as she got in line waiting to get checked out.

Flash immediately stood tall trying to prove himself, "what. No, my father knows a guy." He quickly stood in front of her as she reached the front of the line.

"mhm sure flash, you're daddy is so powerful." She faked a smile, "just like mine is the fucking president." she rolled her eyes.

"I'm telling the truth, I even got a brand new set of wheels." He smirked.

"What is it called? The dick Mobile?" She sarcastically jokes trying not to crack a snort of laughter.

"hi." Anastasia softly greeted the librarian, ignoring flash.

"look flash you have nobody to impress, we all know you're a jackass already so give up the big act." She grabbed her book, thanking the librarian.

"At Least I'm not a bitch." He tried snapping back, Anastasia began to walk out.

"Fuck you too Flash." She flipped him off not even looking back at him but walking straight out.

The bell rang and it was time for P.E. Anastasia couldn't do anything due to her situation with her p.e. clothes but wait for class to be over. She read her book in the back of the class, watching Peter and Ned run the mile.

"Why the fuck is it so hard to turn a page with gloves on?" She cursed, trying to flip her page.

"I don't know and I don't care." MJ was buried in her book, she was wearing half of the uniform.

"Are you following me or something?" Anastasia looked back at her but she just simply shrugged her shoulders.

~

After P.E. was over, Anastasia walked to the guys who were waiting to be released to Lunch. The young girl held a piece of paper excusing her from not dressing.

"Hey, guys." She spoke causing Peter to flinch.

"Hey, Anastasia!" Ned greeted.

"Does anyone know where to get My P.E. uniform? I'm still trying to figure out the whole school." She chuckled.

"Yeah, Peter and I can take you," Ned suggested but peter spoke before Anastasia could Agree.

"I- I can't. I- have uh-" He looked at the teenage girl. "To go talk to Mr. Johnson for extra credit." He Stammered.

"Well, we could always stop by if you like?" Anastasia offered but peter quickly denied it.

"No. It's okay." He awkwardly smiled, Ned looked at the two confused.

"What, why?" She questioned, Ned gave peter a look.

"He doesn't like you." He awkwardly chuckled, he huffed.

"How do you know?" She could tell Peter was lying.

"He told me."

"That still doesn't prove why we can't come with you." Anastasia said as she adjusted her gloves, causing Ned to take a step back. On the corner of her eye, she could see Flash approaching her.

"Flash don't even think about it, not in the mood." Flash quickly turned around to talk to the girls behind the trio.

"DId I do something wrong?" She Innocently asked, trying to keep calm her temper.

Peter opened his mouth but nothing came out, soon enough the bell rang allowing Peter to have an excuse to run out.

Anastasia looked at Need, "What was that?" Ned simply shrugged his shoulders. They began to walk towards the office, but it was silent until Ned spoke.

"So where are you from?" He looked over to her trying to spark a conversation.

"California. Just moved here." She smiled, "You?"

"I was born here in Queens." The awkwardness fazed back in the conversation.

"What about your parents? What's their job?" He said, there was a shock in the back of her neck.

"Oh, my parents? They, well-. My father is a driver and well my mom owns a small company, very small, super small you won't even know what it's called" he nodded ignoring her weirdness.

"Why do you have gloves on?" He was the 4th person to ask her and it was driving her insane.

"Just bad rash." She chuckled

"Isn't it bad to close the wound on a rash?" He asked in pieces of innocence.

"No, it's contagious." She giggled taking a breath of relief.

They continued to walk towards the P.E. office.

"Hey, Ned. I have a question."

"What is it?" The boy looked at Anastasia who making contact with the floor.

"Why does Peter act like that whenever I am around?" She asked as she looked back up catching Ned's eyes.

"Don't worry about it, he only acts like that because he's talking to a girl. Trust me he'll get over it soon." He stops a tall door, "Here it is. You want me to stay? Or?" He waved his hands.

"No, I think I know where to go after all of this, thank you." She smiles dismissing Ned, Anastasia couldn't stop thinking about peter.

She walks in to see a lady in front of the desk, "I would like to get 2 sets of both shorts and shirts of gym clothes."

"Of course that would be 23 dollars." A positive Old woman stood in front of Anastasia. She hands the woman 100 dollar bill Tony gave her.

"This is all I have."

"This would do," She gives her a warm smile, taking her money.

There was a moment of silence, Anastasia couldn't feel her fingertips until a loud voice scared her. "Hey! Anastasia!" The joyful voice approached her.

"Oh. God." Anastasia mumbled under her breath. "Hi!" She quickly turns around as she changed her attitude.

"What are you doing here?" Liz was holding a box filled with papers and school supplies.

Anastasia waved her slip, "Just picking up my Gym clothes." She awkwardly grins. "Why are you here?"

"Volunteering." She smiled, Anastasia turned around to her backpack.

"Of course you are," Anastasia murmured, turning around and picking up a pink slip from her backpack.

"Here you go, sweetie." The older Woman passes her the Blue uniform and her change.

"Thank you." She slides the money into her pocket, Liz is waiting for her to finish. "Do you mind signing my Schedule? My Uncle would like to know that if I picked up my uniform."

The woman agreed taking the slip leaving the two Teenagers in complete silence. Anastasia looked at her converse tapping them together.

"Hey, I know you're new here and I feel like you don't have any friends." Anastasia faked smiled causing her to nod. "I am hosting a sleepover this weekend with some of my girls, you should come."

"Thank you." She took the slip, Anastasia looked back at Liz. "I'll Try, my father has me busy. But thank you for inviting me. Seriously, I appreciated it." Anastasia gave her a genuine smile

"I'll give you my number if you ever change my mind, just shoot me a text." Anastasia took her number in agreement and made her way back to Ned and Peter.

"Hey." Peter quickly perked up to the sound of the young girl's voice. Anastasia sat on the other side of the boy's view, hardly paying any attention to her. Anastasia looked back to see the boys starting at the popular girl Liz.

"I met your girlfriend Liz," Anastasia picked up her apple. "She's a delight." She sarcastically commented as she rolled her eyes.

Both boys look at each other awkwardly, "well. I-" They both shuttered trying to get a word out in the open. Their eyes fidgeted it to both teenage girls,

"She's n- not our girlfriend." Peter nervously chuckled as he waved to Ned, "Ya, we do- don't think she's cute or anything." Ned was obviously horrible at lying, Anastasia scoffed.

"One of you guys are mentally married to her, I already know it." Giggled Anastasia. Both friends made eye contact clearly in denial and that's when they knew it was war.

Anastasia smirked, catching their gaze, "I don't see what you guys see in her." She said as she took another hostile bite out of her apple.

Without hesitation, Peter answered. "She's beautiful, she has kind eyes making me get lost in them every time I look at them." Peter laid his hand across from his face as he drooled over the teen. "She's smart, she helps the community. She's my soulmate." He cuddled closer with a sigh, Anastasia looked at ned.

"Well peter, Anastasia is pretty and I don't know she's enough to go against flash." Anastasia glared, peter popped up.

"Wel-" Peter began to Sutter, Anastasia gagged. "You're Not my-"

"not on the market." she quickly interrupted the boy.

"What about you ned?"

"We don't speak of my nonexistent love life." he firmly said as he looked back down at his chocolate milk.

"Well have you guys even made contact with her?" The boys fell in complete silence, "Well I guess that's a no." She burst into laughter.

The boys drifted into their own conversation about who would win a fight, Iron man or Captain America. Anastasia chose to ignore the awkward conversation and read for the rest of the Lunch period. The bell rang causing all of the students to get up and start walking building up a big crowd.

"Want to walk to Physics together." Anastasia approached peter as they both waited for Ned to finish packing up.

"uh- mm." He coughed adjusting his voice, "sure." His voice grew deeper, different from his regular squeaky voice.

They stood awkwardly in silence, looking back ned was gone.

The two awkwardly chuckled, "I guess we should go." Anastasia rubbed her elbow trying to find comfort, Peter nodded and they were off.

The walk was quiet, no one said a sound but the chatter around them.

The teens finally arrived to class, taking their seats and Anastasia was dreading giving Pepper the idea to find friends and allowing her to go to this dreadful school. This kid doesn't even want to talk to her and he was the main reason for her appearance.

Some time flew by and Anastasia was overlooking the equation on the board, this stuff just seemed to click. She had no interest to even look at the board, she began to doodle on her worksheet trying to distract her boredom.

She thought of the boy in the mask that never showed up, was it because of her? Did she do something wrong?

"Hey, what are you drawing?" Peter Whispered as he held his hand covering the conversation. He looked over to find a small spider on the corner of her paper,

"Just doodling." She smiled but thought of the boy in the mask standing her up.

"What is this?" He questioned.

Anastasia took a brief moment to think of what she could say, Maybe the masked hero hasn't explained to him that he is the crime boy. She prefers to keep her mouth shut just in case.

"I just saw this guy doing some cool stuff, fighting out robbery's, helping people, Catching a 300-pound bus with his bare hands." Peter's eyes grew, Anastasia looked back at him. "It's all on youtube of course." she nervously chuckled.

Peter giggled, "yeah, heard of him... He's pretty cool." The tension grew between the two.

"His outfit is not. He looks like he's going to a little league baseball game." She laughed softly but slowly faded away when she thought of the boy again, the expression on her face caught Peter's attention.

"Anyway, I was just thinking about him and how he doesn't have a name for himself yet since he's new to the superhero field." She rolled her eyes giving a soft giggle. "Other than J. Jonah Jameson calling him a 'The masked menace.'" She air quoted.

The two teenagers tried to hide their giggles, "You two." Mr. Johnson Spoke from the front of the class. "Pay attention or I'll write you up for detention for disrupting my class."

Everyone looked back at them, they gave a quick nod. For minutes the two were silent, Peter was trying to pay attention but he was distracted by Anastasia. She kept fidgeting with her gloves, she had something in her head.

"Tell me a little bit more about the names, he seems pretty cool. I mean not as cool as Ironman or anything but I don't know." He smirked, Anastasia rolled her eyes.

"Well, I was thinking maybe like Spider-Boy, You know cause he climbs walls, and has webs. I don't know it's his job to figure this out." She shrieked her teeth together in cringe. " I mean he's only been a hero what two months now, the least he could do is come up with a name."

"hmm," Peter mumbled, he felt ashamed.

"crime-fighting spider?" She awkwardly grinned, Peter cringed. Anastasia always thought of him as her crime boy, it was cute.

"I think Spider-boy is cute." She looked down at her notebook.

"Y- you think it's cute?" Peter continued to look at the young girl.

"Yeah, I mean come on. Spiders are pretty cute plus he's probably a cute boy, we don't know." She admitted.

"Well, what if he's a man?" He tried to cover up his tracks. He remembered every night he would see her and it would brighten his day, but he had to keep his secret hidden.

"I highly doubt that he's too skinny and short. Have you heard his voice?" Then again Tony is short, she chuckled.

Peter shook his head, "Nobody is going to want to hear that a BOY is a superhero. It's all about Men." He deepened his voice.

"not if the boy isn't worthy, he's just a fool of a man. I prefer to be saved by a brave boy than an asshole in a suit." She looked at Peter giving him a gentle smile.

"I like SpiderMAN, it seems more manly." Peter broke eye contact.

"Eh, like I said he has to be worthy. I me-"

"That's it detention!" Mr. Jonanson raised his voice. This was Anastasia's first week of school and she already got detention, She puts her hand on her forehead. "Pepper's going to kill me." She mumbled underneath her breath.

~

Before entering Detention Anastasia texted Happy Hogan.

Haps

Where are you?

Can't come out, got detention ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙)

Are you kidding me?

It's your second day, what did you do?

Long story.

I'm going to tell Pepper. :P

Don't even think about it, I'll tell her

when I get home.

read 3:45

I'll be here.

"Parker." The man read from the file, Anastasia slid her phone back into her bag. "Montgomery." The two walked to the short man with classes passing the Detention hall.

"You guys are on Cleaning duty, I don't really know why because we have janitors but whatever." Coach Wilson rolled his eyes, he looked tired.

"But why do the other kids get to sit down and just do nothing, while we have to clean? This isn't fair." The young girl Whined, Peter giggled.

"Hey, Don't look at me" Coach Wilson held his arms up in signs of innocence as he gave each kid a broom.

He walked back into the room filled with delinquent students and a girl who looked a lot like MJ.

"Ugh. I'm out of here, My uncle is gonna freak if she found out I was here." Anastasia threw the broom to the ground as she tried to make a dramatic exit.

"Either way you can't leave, the school notifies your parents when you got detention, so either way your parents are going to know that you left." Peter began to sweep the corners of the locker. "Besides it's only 30 minutes, it's not that long." Anatasia agreed, picking the broom back up.

"So peter..." Anastasia clicked her tongue, "What's your favorite thing to do?" She asked from the other side of the hall.

"Not much, I play a lot of Video games and watch movies." he smiled, "how about you?" He already knew everything about the girl but he had no choice but to listen again.

"Well, I love music. My friend, he recommended this band when I first met him." She smiled at the thought of the boy behind the mask. "It's my favorite band now."

"Is he close?" Peter ducked his head from the conversation.

"I would say he's my only friend, so ya I would say he's close" Anastasia nodded with a faint smile. Peter felt horrible for ditching her on that rooftop yesterday night.

"I thought Ned and I were your friends." Peter snickered, Anastasia looked back at him.

"I thought you didn't like me." She let out a bit of laughter, smirking at the boy.

"What makes you say that?" He quickly snapped back.

"Come on Peter, you haven't been the brightest with me."

"What no! no-no." He smiled, "I just get freaked out when I talk to girls."

"mhm" she mumbled, Anastasia continued sweeping.

"It's the truth." He exclaimed

"Whatever parker." Anastasia rolled her eyes.

"So are we friends?" Peter looked back at the girl causing her to make eye contact. Peter held out his hand, beaming with a smile.

"ya. We're friends." Anastasia shook his hand.

~

Anastasia gulped, Pepper had texted her telling her that she'd be home after school, so when Happy picked her up and greeted the kid fondly as usual with a tight-lipped emotion.

She fumbled with her gloves. The leathery touch against her cool olive skin, "It won't be bad, right?" Anastasia mumbled under her breath. It was no surprise nor secret that Anastasia hated to upset the women, Pepper had too much to deal with already. Anastasia couldn't afford to have her worry about this, Anastasia would try better to be better.

So when the time finally arose for the discussion about school, Anastasia started the conversation as usual with a sip of water before preparing the piece of bad news.

"It was fine, I had PE and whatnot and Mr. Johnson he was great until-" Pepper raised a questioning look, and Tony absently wondered his gaze to Ana fumbling with her thumbs.

Anastasia had slipped the gloves off and now they were laying on the table beside her phone and plate.

"I may or may not have gotten detention." The words slipped out, Pepper took a heavy sigh for a moment and sat in thought.

"Sorry, I got distracted. I was talking when I shouldn't have, but I won't. I will get better." Anastasia rushed out her words, it sounded like a plea more than anything.

In the past whenever these things happened she'd get a beating, a screaming match that would be her downfall. A couple of cuts and bruises to show that she was weak, that it was her fault.

Her voice pitched, alongside her breathing.

"Anastasia." She scoffed, "you can't be getting in trouble, I already have enough trouble with this child, and by the way, he's being an ass right now." Pepper glared at Ton causing Tony to roll his eyes.

Anastasia's breath grew uneasy, Tension grew in her face and limbs, her mind replaying the last attack. Her breathing became more rapid, more shallow.

"I've been really understanding with your space but you've been acting weird. Stop acting like this and let me in. I let you in my home, the least you could do is expect me-." She took two steps causing Anastasia to take two steps back.

Her feet began to feel unstable, "I've had a horrible day, plus Tony with his childish acts almost sold the company and I quote 'He didn't need it anymore.' Now You got detention, I am hosting a circus. Oh my god." She threw her hands on top of her head trying to catch her breath.

"That's my cue." Tony left the Two to talk.

A tear rolled down Anastasia's eye, catching Peppers' attention.

"Ugh- I'm sorry Anastasia." Pepper apologized but Anastasia couldn't see her, She only saw Abraham growing closer to her body. In shock Anastasia falls to the floor, her eyes burning red.

"I-" She tried to say but nothing came out only loud sobs, "Ple-"

Pepper tried walking to her, but Anastasia fearfully crawled away from her grasp.

"Ana?" She heard her father's voice.

"Pleas- Please don't touch me." She reached the corner of the wall and dug her head underneath her arms and knees for protection.

"It's me."

"Please! Don't touch me! Leave me Alone!" She yelled out, scarred for life. She held her hand trying to cover her head from getting hit.

"Ana it's me." The man's voice echoed in her head.

Tony rushes in ignoring Pepper, he rushes to the young girl having a breakdown. He fell to the floor reaching in Anastasia's grip.

"Hey. Hey, it's me." He hugged her, "it's okay." Tony rubbed her head.

Tony squeezed her reassuring her that she wasn't alone, he had his hand holding her head. He could feel her whole body tremble with fear. Anastasia looks up to find Tony who was holding her, Anastasia's eyes were red fire brewing in her iris.
