章 88: How did this turn into a party again?
-POV Peter Parker-
I asked Aunt May to hold the camera as I explained "I will do some things here and I want you to not complain that something is dangerous before I explain why it isn't ok?" Aunt May pouts as she says "I don't complain" I dropped the bit of metal I was holding and it clanged on the ground, taking away the silence of the room after Aunt May's statement "Don't lie Aunt May it doesn't suit you" she continues to pout as I set up the things required for the experiment and turn on the lights.
-A few hours later-
The doorbell started ringing as I was painting the last bit of wall left, I turned to Aunt May and told her "It must be Ned I'll go get him until then record whatever you want" I ran up the stairs to the basement and open the door but I quickly close it shut as MJ yells from outside "Come on Parker, that was uncalled for" I groan as I slowly open the door and ask Ned "Ned can you tell me one thing?" Ned answered calmly "What is it, Peter?".
I pointed at all the people standing behind him and asked him with the utmost patience a man can muster "Why is the entire Midtown High here?" Ned looked behind him as if it was just a small crowd as he told me "Just a couple of friends who tagged along after I made a few calls. Just like you asked" I nod as I repeat after him "Just like I asked" before I place a hand on his shoulder and pull him into a headlock.
I walk back into the house with him still in the headlock as I tell everyone outside "Follow me Guys" We walk towards my room and I wonder how to entertain these guys, we go down the basement and I know that it has enough space for all of us, after the whole expansion I paid to have when we went to L.A.
As soon as we entered the Basement I could hear Aunt May talking "So, yeah never use those clips while driving, you don't know how many clips I had to remove from broken skulls in the emergency ward" I looked at the clip she was talking about, the clip seemed to be the hair clip that all men like to put on their fingers and mouth.
I gulped as she talked about how she would try to give the clips back to the girls but they usually don't take them back and she has to bring them home, I think of all the times I played with those clips when I thought May wasn't looking putting them on my mouth, ear, and fingers. Now that the image of them being embedded in the skulls of Women was making my stomach woozy, I barely held myself from emptying the contents of my stomach and turned around to find all the girls along with MJ dropping their Hair clips into my dustbin, I would have to burn the dustbin later.
I instead ignore all thoughts of Hair clips and ask May "Aunt May, we seem to have a surprise party" She jerks surprised as she turns the camera to us and asks "Why are there so many people here again?" I sigh as I show her the culprit who is still in a headlock and tell her "Ned misunderstood some instructions" Ned groans out "The instructions were unclear" I hold his airways a little tighter as I plead with Aunt May "Please help Aunt May, you are my only hope"
She looks at me with a conflicting expression before her face settles into resolve as she assures me "Keep them busy for a while and I'll get the party started" I nod and let Ned go as I turn around to address the crowd, I clap my hands together to get their attention before I yell out "Ok guys, you guys are early and came before I prepared everything, so here's what we will do. I will tell you what you can touch and you will decide if you want to touch it or not. First, Ned did you get the code?" He nods drunkenly, probably still recovering from the loss of air.
I take the pen drive he held up and upload it into the small microchip before inserting it into the baseball and explain to the enraptured audience "This is a baseball.." I bring out the baseball bat as I tell them "..and this is the bat, if you can hit the ball with the bat, you get 10,000 dollars" I put it down before I move towards the big cannon-like thing made of cardboard and throw in some dry ice.
I aim it at the girls pull the elastic cover behind it and let it go making a Circle of smoke float towards the girls. Some of the more smokey guys looked unimpressed at it but the rest of them seemed to have liked it very much. I moved away from the canon as some of them already decided they wanted to play with the smoke cannon. I point at the wall which looks recently painted as I tell them "Now we need to cover the area around this wall with a tarp if we want to completely utilize the wall"
I used a couple of curtains to create a makeshift tent before I brought the UV light and placed it inside to show them what it could do, most of the creative crowd along with people who wanted to try some weird things went inside the makeshift tent and I had the Nerds left "I don't have anything particular for you" they looked at each other as they asked me "Can we watch you work?" I nod not knowing what else I could do and get back to the chemistry lab and start working on the potassium iodide solution.
-POV Captain America-
The baggage took a lot of time but I was finally out on the New York streets once again but this time I was not there to roam around or stay. I am here on a mission and I will finish it to the best of my abilities even if it means shadowing a shield agent in his mission of assessing the Mental health of the son of an old friend of mine. I can't be his uncle now, not when he is physically older than me.
I might have lived longer but I haven't lived much. I saw a young man holding a card with my name on it and I raised an eyebrow as he seemed to be holding it in reverse. I walk ahead and ask him "Are you Agent Coulson's protege?" He nods quickly with stars in his eyes as he says "Yes sir, colonel, sergeant, lieutenant, general...captain" I look at the kid amused and tell him "Let's head to wherever your base of operations is" he nods quickly and moves to grab my language, I stop him to reassure him "And you don't have to call me anything, just Steve or Rogers will do"
He nods happily and walks towards a black SUV with tinted glasses, I put my admittedly small luggage in the back and climb in to find him sitting beside me, I ask him confused "Who is going to drive?" The kid smiles and says "We have autopilot sir" I raise an eyebrow as the car starts to move on its own and tell him "Wouldn't it be safer to, you know drive by ourselves?" He seemed to lose his smile as I unknowingly used my captain's voice.
He tells me with a wobbly smile "Nobody should be able to know where we are going" I frown and ask him "Not even us" he nods unsure of himself as he says "Well it would be safer this way" I nod and ask him "And why is the whole thing a secret, is Coulson in such great danger that warrants all this" he shrugs as he says "I wouldn't know" I sigh as I thought I wouldn't have the answers until I meet someone who isn't an intern.
I wanted to close my eyes but I realized something, this death trap was not making me feel safe at all. So I thought of the next best thing and started counting 8,9,10...and so on until we reached the super secret base or something. I got out of the car and started to walk towards Coulson standing next to a really good car.
I shake his hand as he greets me "Good to meet you again Captain" I nod and express my gratitude "I heard you took care of my lodging" Coulson shakes his head and says "I just persuaded a few people to make your stay a bit more comfortable" I nod and tell him "And I would like to thank you for that by making sure we get through whatever your mission is in one piece" Coulson turns to the guy who brought me here as he says exasperatedly "Ricky I thought I was clear when I said I didn't need any backup for a simple mission"
At the mention of the mission I couldn't help but ask him curiously "What is this mission by the way?" they looked at each other before turning back to me "Make sure Tony Stark doesn't kill himself" I exhaled the air in my lungs as I muttered to myself "This is going to be weird"
