章節 9: Trouble At The Ferry
~*~
At the Ferry, the deal of the alien tech weapons was going down with everything had been going to plan. Toomes and his men were going to making a deal with Matthew Gorgon, aka Scorpion; it happened to be his street name. It stuck to him with him having a scorpion tattoo on the right side of his neck with his men at the loading area of the Ferry, where you find the vehicles and crates in the bottom of the ferry, with Peter making by a hair landing on the side of the ferry. Looking through the window, listening in on the conversation between the two guys wondering who they were?
Learning about their stuff for the deal was in a white pick truck having his spidey droid go locating the truck. Once located, he went over in the direction, noticing that the other guys were waiting for this to go down. Karen told him he has an incoming call from May Parker, with Peter telling Karen he would call her later. Listening to them talking about how this would be going down now, he got another call, but it was from Tony Stark. Karen answered the call with Peter, nervous about telling him he wasn't at school right now and dealing with the thugs.
"Mr. Parker, I wanted to let you know that you did a great job in D.C. My father never complimented me, and I want to break the cycle of shame," Tony said to Peter.
Peter continued to watch what was taking place, "I'm kind of in the middle of something right now."
"Don't interrupt me while I'm complimenting you, anyway, big things are going to be happening..." he stopped talking when he had heard a horn, "What was that?"
Peter swallowed hard, "I'm at band practice..."
"That's odd. Happy said you quit band practice; what's up," Tony asked him to know the truth.
Peter felt cornered and hung up the call, webbing the keys from the bad guy with Herman telling Toomes the Spider-Guy was here. Toomes ticked off by this walking down to where the deal was going down or should have been happening know he didn't like this guy.
Spider-Man started fighting the guys with him getting cocky for a bit, "I have to say the other guy was better at using that thing. I'm shocked."
Toomes noticed the Spider-Man slamming one of the guy's head into the truck, thinking this would be something else. Spider-Man wanted to know where the wingsuit guy happened to be. The doors quickly swung open. The FBI came out pointing their guys towards Spider-Man with him wondering what the hell they were doing here? Only to notice the wingsuit guy came out of nowhere, starting to attack them with Peter helping them out. Fighting the wingsuit guy taking one of the weapons out of his hand, it started to go off through the webbing. Slicing the ferry in half with Toomes and Herman was taking off while Peter asked Karen what they would do.
Karen explained to him that the ferry's strongest points would help stop the ferry from splitting more in half. Peter followed what Karen told him, swinging between the ferry using the web grenades and his web-shooters to target the ferry's strongest parts. Landing on the front part of the ferry with Karen telling him he was only 98% successful with someone cheering for him. When he heard the webs start to snap apart from it thinking fast, Peter jumped back, having two webs on both halves. Then felt the ferry coming back together again, looking out the window to see Iron Man had come though he wasn't happy with Peter.
"Hi Spider-Man, band practice, was it?" Iron Man said while Peter went to the top of the ferry.
Peter wondered if he could help out, "Mr. Stark, is there anything I could to help?"
"I think you've done enough," Tony said before flying off.
Peter aggressively sighed before sitting on the top of a building with his mask off, thinking about what had happened today.
Tony flying over to Peter, "Previously on 'Peter screws the pooch,' I tell you to stay away from this. Instead, you hacked a multi-million dollar suit so you could sneak around behind my back doing the one thing I told you not to do."
"Is everyone okay?" asked Peter, still had his back to Iron Man with his mask off.
Tony nodded, "No, thanks to you."
"No thanks to me? Those weapons were out there, and I tried to tell you about it, but you didn't listen. None of this would've happened if you had just listened to me! If you even cared, you'd actually be here." Peter explained, standing up this time in front of Iron Man.
Tony ends up stepping out of the Iron Man suit to reveal to Peter he truly was there.
"I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Do you know that I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a fourteen-year-old kid." Tony said to Peter.
Peter looked down, "I'm fifteen."
"No, this is where you zip it, alright? The adult is talking! What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? 'Cause that's on you. And if you died, I feel like that's on me. I don't need that on my conscience." Tony explained, folding his arms.
Peter nodded, "Yes, sir, I..." Tony responded to the saying "yes," "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it," Tony said, knowing he sounded like his father right now.
"I understand. I just -- I just wanted to be like you," Peter said, sighing.
Tony shook his head, "And I wanted you to be better. Okay, it's not working out. I'm gonna need the suit back."
"For how long," asked Peter, not wanting to stop being what he was meant to be.
Tony to him forever, which Peter started to get upset though this is how this works, and it wasn't like he wanted to do this. Peter needed to understand how serious things like this were since all the Avengers had to figure out their way. Since nothing like this was ever handed to them, they had to go their way to make things better. Peter didn't want to give up the suit since he felt like he was nothing and didn't want to lose it without this suit.
"You don't understand. I'm nothing without this suit," Peter said, not wanting to give this up.
Tony looked over at Peter, "If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it, okay? God, I sound like my dad."
"I don't have any other clothes," Peter said, still looking down.
Tony nodded, "Okay, we'll sort that out."
Heading towards the restrooms by the Staten Island Ferry, Peter could change the suit into some different clothes, a white t-shirt that was big on him with some pajama bottoms before getting into the back of Tony's car. The ride back to his apartment was awkward and silent all the way there before he got out of the car, only imagining how Aunt May would react. Heavily sighing as he knocked on the door with May opening it glad to see Peter was alright but not happy with him not answering her phone calls.
"You can't answer the phone on me," Aunt May sitting down before, "I've called five police stations five. I've called your friends. Then I find out about this ferry thing happens."
Peter looks down, "Aunt May, please don't worry about me. I'm fine."
"Cut the bullshit; I know you skipped detention, I know you sneak out of this house every night. Peter, you have to tell me what's going on. Just lay it out," Aunt May explained to Peter, knowing he was the only family she had left.
May and Peter weren't even related since she married into the Parker family, but May thought of Peter as her son. Not wanting to leave him alone since they both loved someone dear to them, and it wasn't something May would do to Peter.
"I lost the Stark internship, it would....he would get..." Peter said, sitting down sighing.
May walked over to Peter, running her fingers through his hair gently while rubbing his back, hugging him.
"I'm not trying to control your life, Peter; I used to sneak out too; you need to take a shower. You smell like garbage," May said to him.
Peter nodded, getting up to head to the bathroom to shower since he needed one, knowing things would be different. The school would be different, too, since he didn't feel like he had much to worry about now with him not having the Spider-Man suit. Sighing before heading into his bedroom, looking out his window in his PJs to see if Jessie was awake or not? Of course, her curtains were closed, knowing he would have to work on the picture for her article she planned to do for Spider-Man. Thinking about how he planned to do this now without his suit from Mr. Stark since the other one wouldn't be the same. Going over to his bed to get some sleep since he didn't want to be late for school tomorrow, and he didn't have to worry about getting his suit. Since it was underneath his locker and the web fluid, he closed his eyes to get some sleep.

The next morning, Peter went to the principal's office to talk about the detention he would be having since he had ditched the decathlon along with leaving detention.
"You're a good student, Mr. Parker, make sure to stay out of trouble," the Principal said to Peter with him nodding.
Ned waited for Peter to come out of the principal's office, getting nervous about Peter getting expelled. Having it easy on him than he originally thought, Peter walked out since he thought he would have been expelled from school.
Noticing Ned got up, "Did you get expelled? Did you have to be transferred over to the high school where the teacher has that crossbow?"
"No, didn't get expelled, and I'm pretty sure that is an urban myth," Peter said, walking with Ned down the hallway.
Ned nodded, "You're so lucky."
Peter agreed, thinking about how he would be able to get through everything and probably get to have time for other things. Feeling like two weeks' worth of detention would feel like a month, but he knew what he did was wrong despite having saved everyone. He had to take responsibility for his acts knowing he would have to balance his normal life with his alter-ego life as Spider-Man. It wouldn't be an easy task though he would be able to do it since every other hero could do this. Things like this just needed time no matter how the struggle or strain it would be planned on making sure things were going to be alright for him. He knew with the support of his friends and family backing him all the way.
