𝐒𝐎. . . 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐅𝐎𝐑 the decathlon, even though he had texted the group chat saying that he promised that he would be back before it even started. midtown tech had won the decathlon, thanks to mj answering the last question correctly. stevie had practically leaped into the taller girl's arms when it was announced that they had won, the two girls hugging each other so tightly that they almost forgot that there were other people surrounding them. now, midtown tech was going to the washington monument as celebration. stevie had been on the phone with her mother and donnie.

"i'm so proud of you, stevie!" her mother exclaimed over the phone, stevie being able to hear the smile on her face. she could also hear donnie celebrating in the background.

"thanks, ma." stevie laughed, the only sound being donnie yelling.

"my best friend just won the decathlon, y'all!" he yelled out the window before he whooped and started running around the house.

"donnie's having a field day, right now." erin informed.

"oh, i can hear him." stevie said, her eyebrows raising as she let out another laugh.

"where are you guys going, now?" erin questioned from the other end of the phone, watching donnie run around the apartment.

"the washington monument. mr.harrington was able to get us a tour." stevie answered, looking up at the tall structure as she trailed behind her fellow students.

"oh, okay. make sure to take lots of pictures with that trophy." erin told her daughter.

"oh, i will. as soon as flash stops hogging it." stevie mumbled, tearing her eyes away from the monument and over to the boy who wouldn't give the trophy up. he didn't even answer any questions.

"okay, be careful, sweetie. i'll see you later." erin said.

"yeah, i will, ma."

"donnie! calm down! someone's gonna file a complaint!" erin shouted at the watson boy before she brough the phone back to her mouth. "okay, i love you. bye! donnie -"

stevie could only laugh, knowing how reckless her best friend could be when he was excited. she stuffed her phone into her pocket. she realized that everyone but mj had gone inside of the monument, the carpenter girl deflating a little when she realized that they left her behind. but then she looked over to mj, who had a book in her hand as she waited for everyone to come back down.

"how many books did you bring, michelle?" stevie questioned, making the jones girl look over at her, a blush appearing in her cheeks.

"only two; the one that i gave you and this one." mj answered, holding up the book to show stevie the title. "how're you like the book, anyway?"

"oh, it's good. i basically spent most of the night reading through it. i'm almost done actually." stevie answered, sending the taller girl a smile.

"and i thought i was a book worm." mj teased, making a scoff leave stevie's lips.

"there's nothing wrong with being a book worm." the shorter girl defended, shrugging her shoulders. "most of the things i know are from the books i've read."

"oh, yeah? and what are the things you know, steph?" mj quizzed, her tone flirty, shocking stevie.

stevie was about to answer, but her phone started to ring. she mentally cursed at the horrible timing but pulled it out anyways, seeing a picture of peter making a silly face on her screen. she answered it before she brought it up to her ear. "dude, where the hell are you? you missed the fucking decathlon!"

"yeah! i know, stevie!" peter yelled, sound a little out of breath. "look, i don't have time! are you with ned?"

"no." stevie answered, bringing a hand up to scratch at her eyebrow.

"wha - where is he? why aren't you two together?" peter quizzed.

"the whole team besides me and mj went inside the washington monument." stevie replied, her eyebrows furrowed. she took a few steps away from mj, hearing the slight worry in peter's voice. "why? what's going on, pete?"

"remember the glowy thingy!?" peter breathed out.

"yeah?" stevie answered, it coming out as a question.

"well, it's actually very. . . very unstable. and ned has it in his backpack!" peter continued, still breathing heavily. "any radioactive thing could set it off! and he just put his backpack through that x-ray thingy they do to see if you have any weapons!"

"what?" stevie asked, her head immediately shooting up to look up at the monument. on cue, the sound of a muffled explosion echoed through the air, small pieces of debris falling from the top of the monument. "shit!"

"no, no, no!" peter's voice appeared, making stevie flinch. the boy was cladded in his red and blue suit, covering his face. "karen, what's going on up there?"

"who the hell is karen?" stevie asked, her voice low as she looked over at peter.

"my friends are up there!" mj's voice appeared, making the two spiderlings turn to look at her.

"uh, don't worry ma'am. everything's gonna be okay." peter told her, making his voice drop a few octaves so mj wouldn't recognize it. "stevie, i need your help." he whispered before he ran over to the monument.

"how -" she was getting ready to ask, only to see that he was no longer by her side. she let out a sigh, bringing her hands up to her hair. she didn't have her suit, but luckily donnie stuffed her web shooters into her bag.

she quickly made her way over to some bushes, making sure that mj hadn't seen her. she stuffed her yellow blazer into her bag before she pulled out her web shooters, placing them around her wrists. then she stuffed it into a bush, webbing it there. she quickly pulled the hoodie she was wearing off, glad that she was wearing a shirt underneath as she quickly wrapped the hoodie around her face to make a mask. she couldn't believe that she was doing this. once she was done, she hopped out of the bushes and shot her hands out as she pushed on the buttons of her web shooters. she pulled on the webs before she lunged forward, the curly haired girl doing a front flip as she landed on the monument. for whatever reason, she looked down, immediately regretting it.

"oh, god. why would i do that?" she muttered to herself as she started to crawl up the side of the structure. she noticed that peter was only a few feet above her, deciding to use her enhanced speed to move faster. "spidey!"

the boy in question looked down at her for a few seconds before his head snapped back up towards the top of the monument. stevie could hear him talking to someone, but she didn't question it, using this time to meet up with peter. and then suddenly, a little spider-shape drone came off of peter's chest.

"what the fuck?" she mumbled, making the parker boy flinch. "dude! who have you been talking to this whole time?"

"oh, i - i have an a.i. in my suit!" peter answered.

"whoa! really?" stevie asked as she watched the drone fly away. "you're suit is so much cooler than mine. i'm jealous. what's the little drone doing?"

"looking for a way to get in." peter replied. "come on, follow me!"

the two spiderlings started to crawl up the monument again, neither one of them trying to look down. they were used to swinging and soaring through the air, but being up that high was completely different. once they had gotten to one of the windows, the two had stopped to calm themselves down. peter decided to look down like a dummy, only adding onto his nerves. stevie looked around, seeing that there were cracks running along the bricks.

"so, we've gotta break through one of these windows?" stevie questioned, peering inside a window to see that there were security guards standing at the elevator doors. she had turned upside down, trying her hardest not to think about the height.

"yeah." peter answered breathlessly as he moved over to the little ledge that was above a window. he thens tarted to kick the window, nothing happening. "why is it not breaking?" stevie looked at him for a few seconds, shrugging her shoulders. she then watched as he shot a web about a foot above them.

"what're you doing?" she asked him.

"i need more momentum!" peter yelled, leaning back as he continued to hold on to the web. he then jumped off the window, keeping a firm grip on the web so that he would land on the glass. he did that a few more times, grunts escaping his lips as he did so.

the sound of helicopters quickly appeared, making stevie look to see that there were two approaching the washington monument. "uh, we've got company!"

on cue, one of the helicopters let out an alarm sound. "this is d.c. metro police. identify yourselves!"

"our friends are in there! stop!" peter answered, pausing at what he was trying to do.

"they have guns." stevie announced, her eyes wide.

"return to the ground immediately. stand down! return to the ground immediately!"

stevie perked up as a lightbulb went off in her head. she looked over to the helicopter that was only a few feet from them, doing a few calculations as she looked from peter, to the window, and back to the helicopter again. "i have an idea!"

this made peter look at her, the lenses of his eyes moving into slits. "what is it?!"

"you might not like it!" she told him truthfully, looking up at the point of the monument.

"stevie, just tell me what it is!" peter yelled.

"you need momentum to break the window, right?" stevie asked, earning a nod from peter. "well, if you go to the very top of the monument, jump off it and somehow go over the helicopter. . . you could attach a web to it and pull yourself. that should break the window with fucking ease!"

"why do i have to do it?" peter asked, both of them ignoring the warnings that were coming from the helicopter behind them.

"because you're the one with the suit that has all of these add-ons!" stevie reasoned, making peter release a sigh.

without another word, the parker boy climbed up to the point of the monument. stevie watched in anticipation, wishing that the people in the helicopters would shut the fuck up and let them do their jobs. after a few seconds of peter readying himself, he jumped from the point and over the helicopter, opening his arms up to reveal some kind of wings. stevie watched as peter soared over the helicopter before he closed his arms, quickly shooting webs to the bottom of it and swinging on them. with that, he went flying through the window, stevie letting out an exclamation because her plan had worked.

"i'm a fucking genius!" she screamed as she crawled through the window. when she had landed on her feet, she had seen peter right at the elevator doors, stopping himself from going through with his feet on the doors. he must've caught the elevator with a web.

"i did it!" he exclaimed. but seconds later, the doors gave out and he went flying down the elevator shaft, along with the elevator.

"shit!" stevie yelled as she jumped in behind him. she didn't know what she thought she was gonna do once she was falling, but she definitely didn't expect to land right on top of peter on the elevator floor. that only made the elevator fall even more.

the two spiderlings quickly shot webs up towards the ceiling of the shaft, the sudden pull in their webs making the both of them go up towards the ceiling of the elevator. luckily, the both of them landed on their feet, the duo now being upside down. stevie had prayed to the heavens above that her hoodie wouldn't slip off her face. she looked around to see who was left on the cart, only to see ned, liz, and mr.harrington. she then looked over to peter, who was already looking back.

the parker boy then cleared his throat, obviously about to disguise his usually higher voice. "hey, how you doing?" he asked in a horrible queens accent, making stevie narrow her eyes at him as they started to pull at the webs. "don't worry about it. we got you." he finished, the elevator slowly moving upwards.

"yes! yes!" ned exclaimed, moving around frantically, which made the elevator start to move.

"hey, hey, hey! bucket hat, quit moving around!" stevie ordered in a deeper tone than usual.

"i'm sorry, ma'am. so sorry." ned quickly apologized. stevie sent him a nod as her and peter continued to pull at the webs.

they continued to do that, the elevator cart slowly make it's way up the top floor. the ceiling of the cart was starting to bend under their weight, which means that they had to move, and move fucking fast.

"go, go, go, everybody out!" spider-man yelled once the elevator was somewhat the same level as the floor. ned and mr.harrington quickly climbed out of the car. "move it, people! move it, move it!" just as liz was about to climb out, the ceiling gave out from under peter's feet while steve's web snapped.

the toomes girl quickly jumped up so that she could reach for spider-man's hand, but she missed it by a hair. stevie let out a gasp as she felt herself falling, knowing that liz was falling with her. but she felt some sort of relief flow through her body when she had seen peter shoot out a web to attach to liz as he hand upside down. stevie went to go shoot a web out so she could catch herself, but her web shooter beeped, telling her that she was out of webs.

"are you fucking serious?!" she exclaimed. she quickly planted herself on the floor of the cart before she jumped out through the hole, using her other web shooter to attach onto one of the beams that were close to the walls.

the web did what it was supposed to do, but only for a few seconds, stopping her from falling with the elevator before it snapped. she then fell a few more feet, everything around her going black.

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐒 𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 back home. she had no idea how she got on the bus but once she had seen peter parker sitting right next to her, holding an ice pack to her head, she knew that he was the one who got put her there. once he had seen her eyes open, he pulled the icepack away from her head, watching her with worried eyes. the carpenter girl sat up from her position, looking around to see if everyone else was okay. and they were, including michelle jones, who was at the back of the bus with her nose in a book. she then saw that ned was sitting in the seat behind them, his headphones on his ears as he played a game on his laptop. it was dark outside, which made stevie wonder how long she had been out for.

"are you okay?" peter questioned, gently handing her the icepack.

the curly haired girl took the icepack, nodding her head as she leaned on the wall of the bus. she brought the icepack back up to her head. "what the hell happened? how long have i been out?"

"you've kinda been drifting in and out for the last few hours. you got a concussion." peter explained. "i've got your bag and everything, so don't worry about that. and i've been keeping in touch with your mom and donnie because they've been blowing up your phone."

stevie nodded again, just now realizing that they were actually really close to being home. instead of saying anything else, she leaned her head onto peter's shoulder. the curly haired boy leaned his head on top of her's, the both of them relaxing in each other's hold. stevie felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket, making her pull it out. she looked at her now slightly cracked screen, seeing that she had gotten a text from mj. she opened it up, a small smile pulling at her lips.

ellie💖
hi, it's mj
idk if you have my number saved or not
but i just wanted to make sure if you're okay.
peter told me he found you on the ground with
blood dripping from your forehead.

stevie furrowed her eyebrows at that, "you told mj that you found me on the ground?"

"well, i didn't know what else to tell her. i couldn't tell her the actual reason." peter answered, shrugging his shoulders slightly.

steph💗
yeah, i don't exactly remember what happened
but i must've tripped. i'm okay, i just have a
headache :)

ellie💖
okay, that's good.
not you having a concussion is good
i meant you being okay!

stevie couldn't help the laugh that left her lips, basically seeing the slight panic that flashed across mj's face.

steph💗
i know what you meant.
thank you for checking in on me ;)

ellie💖
of course ;)

no longer than ten minutes later, the school bus was pulling outside of midtown high. stevie slowly climbed off the bus, her bag in one hand while the other was still holding an icepack to her head. she had noticed may immediately appearing in front of peter, the carpenter girl not even having enough time to prepare herself before she was being tackled. a grunt left her lips as her back touched the ground. she saw familiar brown strands of hair curtain around her face, already knowing that it was her best friend.

"dude! i thought you were dead!" he exclaimed into her neck, the both of them still being on the ground.

"i already have a concussion, donnie. don't make it worse." stevie told him, making the taller boy climb off her. he pulled her up along with him, seeing the bandage that was right below her hairline. "i don't remember what happened, but peter found me."

"oh, my god! donnie, you are so fast!" the voice of erin appeared, making the two teens turn towards the woman. stevie laughed as she felt her mother wrap her arms around her. "i was so worried about you!"

"i didn't even go inside." stevie informed, wrapping her arms around her mother. "i just fell, ma. i'm okay."

that made erin pull away, the woman cupping her daughter's cheeks as she examined her. "you're not going to school tomorrow. i don't care. i need to make sure that you're okay."

stevie chuckled, "i'm okay with that."

daij speaks!
i haven't touched this book in basically two months but i'm back. i'll update more because i want to get the movie over with so that i can go onto the next movies. i'm trying to figure out what i'm gonna do for infinity war. idk if i want her to go into space with peter and tony or stay down on earth. i feel like making her go up in space just to write how chaotic peter, stevie, tony are together. i really want to show the father-daughter relationship that tony and stevie has.

also, i want to write more of stevie and mj's relationship. we're gonna start getting more scenes of them together because i just love them so much. they really make me smile. but back to infinity war, i will be making stevie and donnie blip, because i obviously can't break the two besties apart. still deciding if i want to make erin (stevie's mom) blip or make her be by herself. i always have so much stuff planned for far from home and no way home. i'm so far away!!!!

anyways, i hope u guys enjoyed this chapter🫶🏼
