章 40: Chapter 40
"Yeah! That's brilliant rock brains!" Johnny cheered, "and we can like totally team up all the time! Fantastic Four and Spider-man saves the day!"
I blinked as I looked at them all. Johnny was the one who looked most hopeful, Sue looked confident while Reed just smiled. I couldn't really tell with Ben's face, you know, because of all the rocks, but it looks like he was smirking.
"I would be honoured to work with you guys," I said finally, "believe it or not, I really needed a job. Both for the cash and as an excuse to be Spider-man. This would be perfect."
"Great! Welcome to the Baxter Foundation Peter," Sue stood up, I did as well and we shook hands, "I'll get the paperwork started. Maybe it's time to go home, it's getting late and you're aunt and uncle are bound to be worried."
My eyes went wide I looked at the clock, it was ten, "oh shit!" I jumped over the couch and put on my mask, "it was amazing meeting you guys! I'll see you tomorrow!" I pushed opened the balcony door and jumped out, swinging across the New York skyline.
"I like him," Susan smiled.
"Yeah you do," Johnny teased, "judging by the way his eyes were attached to your spandex covered behind I would say he likes you a lot."
"Johnny!" Susan yelled.
"I'm going to bed, night," Ben grumbled.
"Same," Reed got up and left, "I'll see you all tomorrow."
After Reed left Johnny turned to Sue, "think he's jealous?"
Sue blinked, "what? Who? Reed? Why would he be jealous?"
Johnny blinked, "you know sis for a pretty smart girl you sure are dumb."
I got back home changed into my normal clothes and meet my aunt and uncle. And surprise surprise, it was yell o'clock. They must have been on my case for over an hour. I swear I must have gone deaf for five minutes somewhere in between.
"So what do you have to say now Peter's" Aunt May asked as she finally winded up the lecture.
I looked her straight in the eyes and without blinking replied, "I got a job."
They blinked, they looked at each other and then at me. "What?" Uncle Ben asked.
"Okay I'll be honest, thing about Marcus? It was a lie. I really went to Madison avenue to see the Fantastic four fight Doom. Dont' worry I stayed as far away from the battle as was possible," I told them sensing another round of yelling coming my way, "I helped clean up after it was done, Johnny Storm saw me, we talked. Then his sister showed up and she invited me over. The reason I'm so late is because I spent the evening at the Baxter building trying to impressive them enough to get a job."
Ben was the first one to speak, "that's amazing Peter! I'm so proud of you!"
I grinned as he grabbed me into a tight hug. I winced from the pain but kept my mouth shut. Can't let them know I'm bruised like an apple.
"Peter you didn't have to do this," May said, "we have more than enough money, you should be more focused on living your life, not getting a job."
"That's just it aunt May, I am living my life. The job is going to be inventing for a living! I'll co-own all the patents I make, I'll have my own lab, and what's more I'll be getting payed! It's perfect aunt May!"
She sighed, she looked like she was going to object once more but Ben stopped her, "May, it's fine. The boy is old enough for a job, and it's lucky he found one that suits his talents. Peter, I'll be honest, lying to us wasn't right, it was elfish and disrespectful, but I understand why you did. You're good kid Peter, and I know you'll make us proud."
I smiled, "thanks uncle Ben." I knew I wasn't done, there would be more yelling, more argueing. I'm sure one day they'll ask me to stop going just because it'll be too dangerous. But for now, right this moment I was happy.
Spider-man was born, I had a job, a family and a life. I was finally getting used to being called Peter Parker. Who knows, I just might end up being an amazing Spider-man. Ha ha, puns!
The next day at school I had a kick in my step. I couldn't help grinning like an idiot. I woke up early today morning and went full on Peter genius mood. I had a portfolio with a list of ideas I could make with the FF's help. I really, really wanted to impress them.
Though sadly school did come first. Damn Aunt May, I already had a job, why must I persist on this infernal hell?!
Okay, moving away from the melodramatic for a second, I'll admit, school was important I can't just skip it.
So now I find myself reluctantly sitting down for first period English. Harry kept looking at me from the corner of his eye, I didn't know why, hope Normal didn't ask him to spy or me or anything, that would be a pain in the ass.
MJ and Liz were gossiping with the rest of the popular kids, same as usual, and Flash was napping off in one corner.
"Alright class settle down," the English teacher walked in, "now before we begin I would like to introduce a new student joining us. I understand it's late and she will have a lot to catch up on so I hope you'll all be supportive. You can come on in Ms. Hardy."
My brain hit pause and then reset as all my scientific ideas went out the window. The door opened a girl walked in with grace and poise. Her hair was silvery blonde, let loose as it framed her face and reached to her lower back. She wore blue jeans that were tightly framing her legs, a loose white shirt and a black leather jacket.
She looked bored, like she would rather be anywhere else but here. She grumbled, "yo."
