บท 57: Chapter 56

I went home at day and waited until nightfall to come back to the Expo. It was empty, the people had all packed it in for the night. I was about to go in and get the items I stashed away when I saw a figure standing on a rooftop overlooking the destroyed expo.

I recognized her immediately, I could know that silver hair anywhere. I landed on the roof behind her startling her to my precise, "hey Cat, fancy seeing you here."

"Spider," the Black Cat nodded, "what are you doing here?"

"I was helping them clear out the wreckage in the morning, I left a few supplies behind. And you?"

"I...I was here last night," Felicia admitted sounding more scare than I have ever seen her before, "my friend and I...we almost died."

"I'm sorry that happened," I apologized.

"Where were you? Aren't you supposed to be a freaking hero or something? Isn't that what you always say? I'm a lowly thief and you're the gallant hero?" she spat out.

She was angry, I knew that, so I let her have that one, "I was on the other side of the city helping where I could. By the time I heard what happened...I really regret not getting here on time."

"So is that why you helped clean out the place? Because you felt guilty?" the Black Cat all but demanded and answer.

"No, not really. I can take the guilt, I did it because I knew it was the right thing to do. People needed help so I helped them. There isn't a deeper meaning for why I do the things I do, I just do."

"Then you're a bigger fool than I thought," Felicia told me.

"Sorry to disappoint you," I shrugged.

Silenced came down on us for a long time. I knew she had more to say so I just waited, keeping silent.

She finally did speak, "there's a guy who was with me. I...I didn't think much of him, he was interesting enough but that day….he saved me. He saved all of us."

I raised an eyebrow, was she talking about me? Oh yeah, she was! I coughed, "so ah, that's nice."

"He's the real hero, not you."

I winced at her tone of voice but shrugged it off, "maybe, he is. What's he like?"

"Kind, he tries to act aloof but I see right through him," she smiled. Right, you can totally see right through me, that's why you have no idea I'm standing right next to you. "He's smart, like scary smart, I almost feel like sometimes I can't even hope to keep up with him. He's brave and loyal and….a great kisser."

I smiled under the mask, "hey, if you like him so much why don't you ask him out?"

Cat looked me and smiled, "maybe I will. Bye Spider, try not to be late next time the world needs saving." She left, jumping from roof to roof. I'll admit, for a girl with no super powers she sure can run.

I went down into the expo to grab the stuff I hide away and swung back home, sneaking into the basement. Everyone was asleep, time to have some fun.

I took a look at what I had. Two forearms from a Navy drone and an Army drone, two arc reactors that have been shut off and one leg from a drone until I couldn't identify. It wasn't much, but it would be enough.

I began first with the arc reactors. I needed to find out how they worked. I knew two things, one, it was radioactive, I knew as much since Tony was dying from having it inside his body for so long. And the other, it can produce high amounts of energy.

It took me all night, I think it was around 4 in the morning when I finally began to understand what Tony had built. The radioactive material would first break down and be spun around to collide into themselves.

It means there are charged particles moving in a circle, contained by a magnetic field. High-energy particles usually have high energy because they're moving very fast, and magnetic fields can curve the motion of charged particles. Curving the particles' motion into a circle keeps them in one place long enough to get them to collide.

This also produced gamma rays as a result of the molecules colliding and releasing a loose neutron. There was a complex radioactive decay going on inside the arc reactor itself, one that I was just starting to understand.

This in the end increase the motion of the magnetic field, alternating it as the lose neutrons began to move around. This in turn cause the magnetic superconductive wire to generate high amount of alternating current.

I finally put down the arc reactor and sighed, rubbing my head. I'm so glad it's Sunday because I'm exhausted. I hide the 'acquired' items away. I could fit the arc reactors in the loose floor board I used to hide stuff, but the others were too big. So I just shoved them into storage. Ben and May rarely come down here so it was relatively safe.

I slept until noon and got up exhausted. I wanted to go back down to get back to work but when I did I found Anna and MJ sitting int the living room, chatting with May and Ben.

"Morning guys, how've you been?" I asked yawning.

"Ah, so he finally stirs," Ben chuckled, "morning champ, up late?"

"Yeah, working on a new project," I admitted freely, "hopefully I can get it to work."

"Peter, why don't you take MJ and talk to her for a while. Anna, Ben and I have something to discuss," May oh so subtly pushed MJ my way.

"Ah, right, come on MJ, I need to get something to eat," I grumbled walking to make myself some cereal.

MJ sat next to me watching me munch down on my brunch. "So ah, you and Felecia huh?"

I shrugged, "I don't know."

"You don't know? What do you mean you don't know?"

บท 58: Chapter 57

"She just kissed me," I shrugged, "didn't plan on it or anything."

"But you kissed her back!" MJ yelled out. Our relatives looked at us, we lowered our heads and whispered.

"Yeah well, why wouldn't I? It's not like I have girls lining up to kiss me. I take what I can and besides, she's pretty cool, you think so too right?"

"I-I….you still kissed her."

"Yes, yes I did. Why? Did you want me to kiss you instead?"

MJ looked away pissed, she didn't say a thing. I sighed, "sorry MJ, just teasing."

"It's fine," she shrugged.

Just then my phone began to ring. I picked it up, "hello?"

"Peter, it's me Marcus! Colleen sensei is having another training session, you coming or what?"

I blinked, "wait, today? I didn't know! How much time do I have?"

"Can you be here by 2?"

"Yeah I can but," I looked at MJ and sighed, "sorry I'm actually with a family friend. Rain check?"

"Damn, sensei won't like this man."

"I know, tell her I'm sorry." I sighed, "bye Marcus."

"Bye man," he hung up.

"Who was that?" MJ asked.

"A friend from my dojo, he wanted me to come over for a training experiences, I told him I couldn't," I took the used bowl and washed it.

"You didn't have to do that for me," MJ whispered.

I shrugged, "don't worry about it. Anyway, want to go up to my room?" MJ nodded, I guided her upstairs and closed the door behind me. She plopped down on my bed while I sat on my desk chair.

"So how's life?" I asked her.

"It's….weird to be honest. Friday was so freaking weird. I mean one moment we were on a perfectly ordinary school trip and the next..."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"What's there to talk about?" she asked with a shrug, "robots attacked us, Iron Man flew in and saved the day and you basically made sure everyone I knew didn't die and saved our lives."

"I didn't do much."

"Peter you single handedly took out a drone, and if you hadn't called in Johnny Storm, who you're buddies with by the way, then who knows how many people would have died? Face it Tiger, you're a hero."

I chuckled, "thanks MJ, I'm glad you think so."

"What do you mean I think so? I'm not the only one! I was on the phone with Liz all day yesterday, the whole school knows about you Peter! They all think you're a hero! Hell I heard Liz mention half the cheerleaders like you now!"

I blinked, "huh….well that's interesting."

"Yeah," she looked unsure of herself and I honestly felt bad. She wasn't a bad person per say, just a little childish.

"So MJ, are you going to audition for the school play? I heard they begin on Monday right?"

MJ looked surprised, "y-you remember that?"

"Of course I do silly, I'm still you're friend right?"

"Y-yeah, right."

"So? Are you?"

"I don't know Peter. Liz keeps telling me it's a bad idea and I'm not going to like it. It's supposed to be long and gruesome and-"

"-Of course it's a long and tiresome task MJ, it's not worth doing if it was easy! But that's no reason to give up!"

"But Liz said-"

"-Liz doesn't know you, I don't think she bothered to even try, because if she did she would know how much you want this. So shut up about what Liz thinks and tell me what you think."

MJ was silent, she looked hard pressed for an answer before sighing, "you're right."

"I know I am," I grinned.

"Careful Tiger, girls don't find an ego impressive," she snorted.

"I'll keep that in mind."

"It's just," MJ sighed, "she wanted to focus on Homecoming instead, said we barely have any time left to prepare. She and Flash are going together but I'm not sure I'm even going at all."

I raised an eyebrow, "holy shit, that's right, Homecoming's this week. Damn, I actually forgot about that."

"Really? You did? Oh what am I saying, of course you did," MJ rolled her eyes.

"I'm surprised someone hasn't asked you out yet."

"Actually Harry did ask me out but...I'm not sure if I should go."

"Really? Osborn? Again? You do know they are all creepy little shits right? Harry might be decent enough, but his dad's totally up the walls fucked up."

"Really? How do you know so much about him?"

"I used to be his BFF remember?" I scoffed, "his dad always gave me the creeps, now ever more so."

"Because he showed interest in you?"

"Exactly. He saw me as a toy to add to his collection, nothing more. He treats people like toys to be added and I...I don't want Harry to think of you the same way."

"Peter he won't, he's not that bad."

I shrugged, "so you say...anyway, are you going to accept or what?"

MJ shrugged, "I don't really know."

"Alright tell you what, if you want I'll take you to Homecoming, only if Harry's too much of a pain to deal with. What do you say?"

"What about Felicia?"

"I don't know. That girl's complicated, I doubt she actually likes me let alone wants to got to Homecoming with me," or rather I know she has a thing for me, but I can't act on it unless she admits it. Stubborn Cat!

"Of course she likes you Peter, why else would she make out with you?"

I chuckled, "because she was turned on by what I did? Honestly I really doubt she's into the whole serious romance angle, and I highly doubt she wants to go to some dance. So? What do you say? Want to go to Homecoming with me?"

MJ blinked, "I-I, ah….tell you what, you talk to Felicia and I'll talk to Harry, if neither of our dates are like we want them, then we'll go together. Deal?"

I grinned, "deal. Now, what exactly are you going to do about the play? Do you like have lines to do?"

"Well they are doing Midsummer Night's Dream this year and I really want to play Helena," MJ smiled.

'The girl who love a man that has no interest in her? Damn Mary Jane, subtle you are not,' I shrugged, "okay, do you want to practise?"
