Chapter 63: Chapter 61
"And from what I'm seeing this deals pretty ironclad," Sue murmured, "you probably won't be cheated out of your training or anything."
"So it's basically a win-win situation?" I asked.
Reed nodded, "basically, yes."
"If I join...I'm not going to have much time for you guys, or friends," I sighed.
"We always were flexible with timing Peter, you don't have to worry on that front," Reed assured him.
"And what friends? Weren't you supposed to be like a cool loner dude?" Johnny asked
"I was, but...well after the expo people are kidding of amazed I know you guys. I'm basically a celebrity in their eyes," I shrugged.
"Oh that's great Peter! You can never have too many friends!" Sue smiled.
"Yeah, but they don't act like friends, more like groupies," I shivered, "but there is this girl and….well she's nice."
"A girl huh? Yeah, that'll do it," Ben chuckled.
"Girl?" Johnny's interest was peaked, "tell me about her!"
I rolled my eyes, "no."
"What? Why not?!" he whined.
"Because the moment I do you'll look for her profile on FaceBook and perv on her," I snorted.
"No I won't...by the way are you on Facebook?" Johnny asked, his phone already on hand.
"No, waste of time," I shrugged.
"Same here," Reed sighed.
We quickly talked a little while longer on what I should do before we went to our own labs for our side projects.
Later in the evening Sue did call me over and talked to me about getting the SA patent. She told me her lawyers were already working on and we were in talks with Amazon to build them for public consumption.
I would get a 50% ownership of the patent, the other going to the Baxter foundation. I would also get 5% of every SA ever sold, earning me a steady stream of revenue in some time. Yup, things were looking up for little old me.
The next day I arrived in class to find everyone glued to Flash's phone once more. This time they were looking at the NEWS live. I peered over his shoulder and was surprised to find the man on trial was the operator of the Rhino, one Aleksei Sytsevich, or AL for short.
We watched as the man was sentenced to 5 years in prison for theft and public endangerment. He was just luck no one had died or else it would have been 20 years. I honestly didn't care though, I knew some way or another he was going to come back and haunt me again and I would have to be ready.
I spent the rest of the week either in school, at the Baxter building working on something new or swinging through New York as Spider-man. The streets were quiet for a while, only a couple of muggings in the worst part of town and one stab victim that I had to rush into the hospital.
But one thing was looming in the distance, Homecoming. I don't understand how a silly high school dance could effect me so badly, but boy was I nervous. Felicia seemed to have noticed, she took every chance she had to tease me for it. Always going on and on about how it should be a perfect night, or else.
So I actually started to try and make it a good night. I got a suit from Uncle ben. I didn't bother with his firmly under shirt, too eighties. But I did use his blue suit and wore my black shirt under it. It gave off the very hip and cool feel to the suit, which was nice.
I also managed to get reservations to a restaurant in the fancy part of town, I knew I would end up spending half my allowance on that dinner but it seemed to be worth it, after all why go out if you don't do it with a bang?
Harry and Flash kept bothering me all week, asking if I wanted to join up with their dates and go together, I politely told them no, and when they insisted I told them to fuck off.
And so it was all set. On Friday evening and hour before we were meant to meet up I called up Felicia as I was getting ready, "hey kitty."
"Hey Tiger," was her reply.
"You all set for tonight?" I asked her.
"You bet I am, we're meeting up at Julio's right?"
"Yup, I'll see you soon, alright?"
"See you soon Tiger," she said huskily as I cut the call.
I got ready, put on the suit, and went down. "There he his!" Ben smiled, "don't you look handsome!"
I grinned, "thanks Uncle Ben. Hey, could you help me with the tie? It's really bugging me," I asked him.
"Sure, no problem kiddo," Ben smiled as he helped me out.
"Oh I wish you and your lovely date decided to meet up here instead," May sighed, "what was her name again? Felicity?"
"Felicia aunt May," I rolled my eyes, "and besides, she isn't the photo type."
"Oh nonsense, what type of girl isn't the photo type? I swear Peter you pick the oddest girls. You should have just stuck with Mary Jane."
I shrugged, "she's going out with Harry, besides I don't think she and I would work out, she's in a very different place, I can't handle all that."
"Well doesn't that just sound like a trumped up excuse," May huffed just as the door was opened and May exclaimed, "why MJ dear, you look lovely!"
I blinked in surprise, I turned around and gasped when I saw MJ standing there all dressed up. She wore a black dress that came down till her mid thighs that hugged her curves. The top half near the shoulders and arms were transparents and with her makeup done I had no doubt that this woman is the same one who would one day become a supermodel.
I smiled, "damn MJ, I think this is the first time I'm ever going to feel jealous of Harry."
MJ smiled, "thanks Tiger, you don't look half bad yourself."
"Thank you very much," I grinned.
"Oh this is perfect, come you two, let's take a picture!" May smiled already grabbing her camera.
"May she isn't my date," I looked confused.
"Oh what does that matter? Come one you two! Up close!" May said excitedly as Ben just stood to her side and shook his head in disbelief and a small smile.
