It was monday, and Peter had gotten home from school. The day was very boring, and even more so now. Peter layed on his bed and sighed. He got an email from stark tower, so he got excited, but turns out due to that mission, Peter couldnt go there for the next week.

He did one last dramatic sigh, before he realised somthing.

"Oh yeah! Karen, do you have that recording?" He asked.

Karen sent the recording to Peter's phone as a video. Peter excitedly, but nervously played it.

"Blah blah blah stuff."

"Blah blah more stuff."

"Blah this blah that."

Peter just about gave up, and tony mentioned him to pepper. He listened closer and his mind shattered.

What.

Tony knew who he is. But didnt know Peter knew. And Peter now knew who tony is, but tony doesnt know. At on top of that, he had to hide as spiderman as well.

Peter cringed. It was overly bad, but just a little weird. Than he realised. No no no no.

Tony knew about his family.

No no no no no.

HIGHSCHOOL, MORNING CLASS

The next day, peter ignored everything and everyone. He had questions he needed answered. But the bad kinds of questions. The questions with multiple choices. The questions you can't figure out with a calculator. the questions you needed to solve for yourself. The questions that could lead to so many possibilities of what if...

Like, should peter tell tony? Block tony? Quit the internship? Ignore everything?

"Peter? Dude?" A voice broke his concentration. Peter saw Ned nudging him in his seat. He quickly looked to the bored, expecting to see some kind of question on the bored, but instead was lilac.

She was presenting somthing special, apparently.

"Everyone pay attention, lilac you can begin when you're ready." The teacher moved to the side. Lilac had a series of photos in her hand.

"Today I'm going to talk about spiderman." She said. Peter looked around slowly. Everyone else was interested, including ned. Sigh.

"The other day I saw him, in town just swinging around." She showed a photo, indeed of Peter the same day they hung out.

"There was a car crash a few days ago during the night, and I saw him investigating." She said, showing a photo of the car pager was looking at. Peter furrowed his eyebrows. This was getting weird.

"I love spiderman. I'm destined to meet him." She said.

"I'm trying to figure out who he is." She finally admitted.

"Any questions?" She asked. Peter was stunned. "Yes?" She looked at flash.

"Why?" He laughed. Lilac shrugged her shoulders. "Cause I want to talk to him." She said.

"Actually," lilac looked at Peter. "I want to talk to you." She said.

Peter walked with lilac to her locker, basically shaking with nerves. Was she going to pin him down, lock him in a locker? What??

Lilac smiled. "Can you tell me more about your uncle?" She asked. Peter froze. "What?" He laughed.

"C'mom. He knows spiderman." She said. Peter smiled awkwardly. "I dont think so." He said.

Lilac looked around and took out her phone. She swiped into her Camara roll and showed Peter a photo she took years ago, with spiderman talking to his uncle.

"You're stalking him?" Peter asked.

Lilac laughed. "Stalking? No, I'm just watching closely." She said.

Peter backes away. "I dont think he'll find that...comforting." he said. Lilac put her phone away. "How would you know?"

Peter was so relieved when he saw ned nearby. "I know nothing." He laughed nervously. "I'm gonna go with ned now, bye, lilac."

●●●

At the end of the day, Peter was freaking out. He had a stalker?? How long had she been watching him? And how? Didnt she only move like half a year ago?

Peter couldnt focus, all these thoughts in his head distracted him. The bell finally went and Peter jogged off. The hallways were loud as always, people fighting to get out first. Peter stuck to the side, waiting, when he heard it.

"Want to know the real reason I want to find spiderman?" A female whispered. "I want to kill him." She finished.

Peter looked up and saw no one. He looked around, his pupils going huge with adrenaline, and he saw lilac waving goodbye to him at the door.

What the heck.

Peter wasted no time. He rushed out the school and started heading to the stark towers. He knew he wasnt meant to be there, but he had to talk to Tony. Lilac was also an intern, so who knew if she had been trying to get to files or anything about spiderman.

With shield files in there, she could do anything.

Peter ran, his heartbeat almost breaking with every step he took. He always knew there were people probably out to get him, but that was the first time being told.

Finally, peter was there. He smiled with relief. He walked through the doors, but didnt find the nice smiles or receptionist ladies waving, instead he found 5 police officers and an FBI agent there. With tony.

"Hey, mr stark," peter said walking around slowly. He walked to Tony, "what's going on-"

"Mr parker," the FBI agent said. "Congratulations, you're fired for theft in the workplace. We have all your belongings, and you'll be coming with us to the police station." He said.

Peter froze. "What?" He finally said.

Tony stepped forward. "I trusted you." He said, sadly. Peter was so confused.

"What is goin on? I didnt steal anything." Peter declared.

A police officer came over and showed surveillance footage of Peter grabbing out somthing from Tony's pockets.

the earpiece.

"That was mine-" he tried saying.

"And we've been given an anonymous message about stealing weapons. Multiple weapons have been stolen, so, explain that Mr parker." The agent said.

Peter choked on his words. "Was that by flash? Dont trust anything he says- I didn't steal, why would I steal?" He asked.

The police officer began to arrest Peter, not caring to listen to his 'excuses', but tony stopped him. He felt too bad. "Don't arrest him." he sighed. "Just, take him home." He said.

The officers grabbed peter and began to pull him out the door. "What- I... I didnt-" he stuttered. Peter teared up. Everything was getting ruined. He locked eyes with tony. "Tony?" He said.

Tony looked down to the ground and didnt respond.

●●●

Peter got dropped off at his house, he couldnt understand what had happened. Thankfully he wasnt getting arrested, but why was he accused?

Out of sheer routine, Peter thanked the police officer for the drive before he walked into his apartment. Time moved slowly as he fully absorbed the fact tony hated him for somthing he didnt do.

Peter sighed as tears fell. He never thought they'd get so close.

He pushed through the feelings and decided to patrol.

He grabbed his suit and left.

Once out, Peter didn't know what to do. He swung building to building, looking out for danger but got nothing. He sat on a tall building and looked down. It was an unusually loud day.

He dangled his legs off the roof and felt the wind. He smiled.

His mind stopped on one thought. Peter got up and stood on the very edge of the roof. He leaned to one side, then to the other, as he walked along the roof. One wrong step and he could fall.

Peter looked around and let out a heavy breath. He leaned to the side where the traffic and people stood below. He was thinking,

What If spiderman died?

When he saw her. Seeing him.

And she was waving. Lilac smiled and waved. Now Peter was freaked. Had she known Peter was there, or was it strictly coincidental?

Peter didnt care, it was trippy. He stung away, quickly. Just as he did, he heard somone below say "is that iron man!"

Peter quickly flew off and went back to his apartment. He didnt know what to do. If he couldnt talk to RANDO, go to stark towers or patrol as spiderman safely, what was the point?

Peter fell asleep, trying to forget the day.
