章 33: we got serious

Author's note:my death was greatly exaggerated my friends, anyway so the reason I stopped is because after the exams

because I was trying to put the best output possible, I was writing in all of my free time, writing, rewriting, deleting, adding, double checking so I decided that I'll do the opposite from now on, I'll make sure the story runs good and the grammar is decent but u wouldn't care about the feedback and write whatever the fuck I want and take it in the direction I want it too. Two whole chapters of people just reacting to a video or super hero fights lasting seconds because I made our guy too op might become the norm, don't worry there will still be stakes to the fight but I'm trying to make this a slice of life thing and the main character wouldn't face that many threats in my ideal slice of life story. If the MC not being relatable or his story is not having an impact on you that is why I am trying to pull emotion from those around him. So thank you if you are and old reader and thank you again if you are a new reader.

-POV V-

I was reading some nerdy magazine about dinosaurs lying around in Pete's room as I waited for him to wake up but when he did, he woke up with a jolt flying up and sticking himself to the roof of his room.

"You gotta stop doing that you know?" I say and he sags as he falls back on the bed. He closes his eyes as he tells me in a pained voice "I am trying my best to control it but....it keeps happening"

I look to the door for May before I turn back and tell him "What's bothering you? You can tell me you know" Peter leans on his left hand propping his head as he asks me "Are you a therapist now?" I bite back at him "I am the closest thing you have to an Alfred so spit it, Batman"

Peter sighed as he rubs his head to elevate the headache I am probably causing him but he needs this more than he thinks and he seemed to come to terms with it as he said "I have this dream of a man.." he chews on his lips as he continues "I don't know who he is but we stand on the edge of a cliff and he tells me something before he jumps off".

I nod and pursue my lips thinking of it for a second before I said "Do you know who he is?" he shakes his head and tells me "I don't know" I ask him another question "Is it even real or are you imagining things?" he sits up and shrugs "I don't know it's like a repressed memory or something" I nod and ask "since when has this been happening?" he frowns in thought before he tells me "The first time I remembered it I was trying to find uncle ben and couldn't muster the courage to swing".

I gulp and ask "Maybe you're having nightmares because you think you failed in saving Uncle Ben" He thinks for a second and says "That doesn't line up with what he says in my dream" and looks out of the window.

-POV PETER-

"That doesn't line up with what he says in my dream" I said as I thought back to his words 'whatever you are afraid of the closer you are to it the less you'll fear it' Uncle Ben would never say he wants to die to me so who was it?.

Anyway (pushing aside the trauma because I don't know what to do), i met Captain America how fucking cool is that and I also fucked up canon, how very awful of me to do that.

Ok so here's the thing captain was supposed to be out of the ice after the events of iron man 2 but now that he is out and about during the iron man 1 arc it means either canon is fucked or that it was never meant to be like the MCU.

This brings new unpredictable shit into the fold so yeah it's going to be hard to follow the events but it will never be hard for me I think because the world still seems to be running on the MCU engine, which means some plot points are missed or ignored until they are too dangerous.

But I am an external entity so I can fix most issues quick as fuck anyway, so no worries. "OUCH WHAT?" i yell as I throw the pillow thrown at me aside and V yells "Get out of la la land and come down, aunt may wants to watch the new video after you have your breakfast" i nod and she leaves me alone.

I ponder about asking uncle Ben about the dream but put that aside before completing the morning rituals and going down for breakfast.

"Morning aunt may, what's for breakfast?" Aunt may sets up a plate and says "Sorry but it's just cereal today, i was too tired when I woke up" uncle ben laughs from his position at the sofa and aunt may glares at him as V starts laughing in the background.

I got confused and ask "WHAT?" with cerial in my mouth but aunt may pats my head and says "you are a good boy Peter, just have your cerial and show me your new video" she then goes upto uncle ben and pulls him into another room.

V sits beside me, so I turn to her and ask "WHAT?" She sighs and asks me "Aren't you the older one?" and takes her cerial as she goes to sit in the living room. I turn to the readers and say "What?" But I don't expect to hear anything from them anyway after I left them for so long. After I had my breakfast and aunt may came out of the room with a thoroughly admonished uncle ben behind her she sits beside V and asks me "What's the new video called again?" I chew on my breakfast before I answer "It's called 'I made holograms real'" uncle ben asks "What like in the movies?" I smirk as I think of the behemoth of a hologram and say "Yeah but a little bigger".

They click start on the video without me as I have watched it atleast 10 times while editing it.

-POV Aunt may-

I watched as the video started with Peter smiling and winking at the camera and starting with a loud booming voice filled with child like wonder, the wonder that he lost when his parents....'ugh focus on the now may'

Peter:Nice meeting you lads and lasses, I am your favourite youtuber here to make a dream come true.

He paused for dramatic effect before he said

Peter:holograms

And various movies scenes of holograms started playing

Uncle ben:Ha, we knew that from the title, why were you acting like it was a surprise.

Peter just rubbed the back of his head as he took the now finished plate to the sink.

Peter:I know making this would be crazy because I need to know how to code for this project work. I don't have that much time so my friend ned Leeds shall take charge of the video until a something interests me again.

Ned appears on the screen wearing a lab coat and goggles looking like a nervous boy infront of his date.

Peter:Ned you are a software guy you don't need a lab coat.

Ned seems to be confused as he asks "what why?"

Peter:It's only for scientists,engineers and chemists.

Ned seems to be annoyed at that as he says in sarcasm "Oh sure give the lab coats to people most likely to get them dirty"

Peter: yeah and software guys would get them dirty with cheetoh dust.

Ned:Dude you know I am on a diet know.

Peter:Yeah, yeah let's just start the video.

May wanted to laugh at their conversation and said "You should not have called ned fat" Peter seems to yell in shock "What I didn't" I nod and say "Yeah you didn't sure".

The video starts again and this time ned starts explaining about the holograms.

Ned Leeds:So the holograms in movies seem to be all be in the colour blue for some reason but to make them possible I only found two ways, either make a material so invincible and malleable, it can be made into a hologram of anything by just providing some data to it or nano drones, small drones with small screens which come together to form the pixels of an image.

Ned Leeds: Now I am neither a nano guy nor a chemist, so I am going to use large drones and put them high in the sky to make them move in certain ways to make an image work. This kind of work requires all the drones to be synchronised and that's where I am going to be involved, to write a code for it.

The video then changes back to Peter.

Peter:Hi I am from two weeks back and I am making the drones right now.

After that the video got a little boring with technical mumbo jumbo but peters jokes made up for it. The video then showed 3 weeks later and Peter was in a dashing suit rocking the 80's look and I loved it soooooo much.

I grabbed Ben's hand and giggled like an excited teenager looking at Michael Jackson for the first time while ben too seemed to be in shock.

-Uncle Ben POV-

I was in shock, awe and proud of my nephew's display of the 80's look, I only came back to myself once may started shaking me.

I coughed and bragged "I used to look like that in my younger days too" but v seemed to not believe it and said "What no way?" I laughed and asked "why else do you think may is swooning right now he looks like a younger me".

May seems to snap at me "You wish, you never wore a damn suit until our wedding, always wearing those damn biker leathers" Peter seemed to have finished his dishes as he sat beside us and asked "Uncle ben was in a biker gang?" ben bragged again "Hell yeah, I was" Peter whispered "Cool" with stars in his eyes and I was about to talk about the good ol days before may interrupted me.

"Don't you dare Peter is a good and innocent boy, I don't want him joining biker gangs and chasing skank skirts like you" I retorted with a snort "Well, I wouldn't have found you if I didn't do that" may gasped in offense and started hitting me while the children made noises of eww. Pete seems to have had enough as he said "let's just watch the video" and played the video again.

Pete in his dapper wear talked to the camera "We are here for a music video shoot and once the shoot finishes, the night will be the perfect time for testing the holograms, so see you at night" and kissed the camera goodbye.

I sighed as I said "Don't do that often Peter or you'll break hearts" Peter blushed and nodded and I felt proud again for the man I have made him.

The video changes to night and peter is excitedly yelling into the Mike "3.2.1 fireeeeeeeeee"....

And nothing happened so he called someone and yelled "Ned why aren't they up yet" and neds voice is heard through the phone "Didn't you say 10:30" Peter yelled in anger at the phone "You idiot mother**cke**, you chpmunk a*s smooth brained bastard, I said 10:13"

I turned to may and saw her giving a sweet smile to Peter and asking "Ned is a good boy Peter, I hope you don't ruin him with your language" Peter meanwhile had a stoneface as he said "just watch".

And we watched as neds voice is heard through the phone "You sparrow brained overdramatic chimp as* start thinking with your tiny brain rather than your miniscule d*ck and think for once in your life about who in their right f*ck*ng mind would schedule something like this for 10:13 rather than a whole fucking number, oh wait I know, your shit*y brain couldn't comprehend zeroes so it chose a random a"s number you fucker" may and I were stunned and keeping our mouth open for a long while.

Until Peter said "I told you he taught me more about cursing others than movies did" may silently whispered "You both are grounded for life" Peter didn't even contest and said "Ok".

Suddenly the video showed ned saying "It will launch in 5, 5.4.3..1 launch" and the video showed the sky light up as it formed the face of a man known by many as a hero, the war hero captain America with his shield in hand appearing as a god infront of her nephew who was on a hill.

The giant man seemed to move and throw his shield which flew above her nephews head to the back of the hill and hit a guy who looked like Hitler and the video cuts back to Peter yelling "it works" as he lifts a girl in his arms and spins her around before dropping her and yelling again "it works" before moving to the camera and shouting "It works".

The video shifts to him standing alone on the hill with the holograms in the background showing different products as Peter said "This video would not have been possible without massive help from my sponsors KitKat, go pro and finally Pepsi. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for helping me make this childhood dream come true. Please like, subscribe and wait for the music video to drop".

I sigh as the video ended and asked him "you made such a great technology and didn't think of showing it your old ben" Peter just muttered "I am working on it" but said the next bit louder "but if you want to really watch it, we can go to timesquare and see the newest ad we made with Pepsi on top of a building tonight" I was surprised and asked "you made it a service" he nods and says "yep, as long as we have the patents and nobody has a better technology, we will never have to worry about money" I nod and smile relieved that my nephew doesn't have to face the conditions I and Richard grew up in.

But may seems to have noticed something different and asked him with a smirk "Who was the girl?"Peter seems to cringe?.. is that the word, as he says "She is a singer and I am helping her put out her first song" I nod along and think the matter is done but may says "Annnndd?" Peter shrinks into the couch as he says "and we are dating" in a resigned tone.

I was shocked again as I asked "and you didn't tell us" Peter thinks it over as he says "We thought it wasn't serious but then it got serious"
