Speed Up The Inevitable

Chapter 27: How strong?

Chapter Text

——-
Peter and his class are in their hotel. Ned says the water Monster was caused by aliens.
———

 

"I really hope it's not aliens." Tony said. He didn't want peter to fight aliens anymore.

 

——
Flash says Buzzfeed says there was a sailor named Morris Bench who was exposed to an experimental underwater generator and he has hydro-powers.
MJ sarcastically tells him that he should definitely believe everything he sees on the internet.
Flash says Spider-Man could take the water monster.
——

 

"Is he a...fan of yours?” Thor asked.

 

"Oh the biggest... Flash is so far up Spider-Man's ass that he-" Ned started but Peter cut him off.

 

"Okay, that's enough, Ned." Peter said.

 

——
Mr. Harrington asks Mr. Dell what he thinks about it all. Mr. Dell says that being a man of science he thinks it's witches.
——

 

"Is there even a scientific explanation for that?" Bruce wondered. He hasn't yet heard of anything that can make water sentient.

"Are witches even real?" Natasha asked.

"Well, aliens are real, apparently vampires are real, I wouldn't be surprised if werewolves were real." Scott said. "Plus, Asgard has witches so why shouldn't Earth?" He paused for a moment. "Makes me wonder if there was any truth to the witch trials." He added as an afterthought.

 

——
Peter is on the phone with May, he tells her that they want to stay.
——-

 

"Really? I thought you wanted a stress free vacation. This doesn't seem like a one- time incident." Tony said.

"Maybe that's why I want to stay." Peter suggested.

 

——
May tells him that it's a good thing she packed his suit and says she can't believe he forgot it.
——

 

"Yeah... he 'forgot' it." Ned said using his fingers to make air quotes as he said the word 'forgot.'

"He forgot it on purpose." MJ added.

 

——
May asks about the guy Peter was with and asks if it was Mr. Strange.
Peter corrects her saying it'd Doctor and tells her that he doesn't know who it was with him.
On the other side of the conversation, May tells Happy that he's eating the wrong food and that it was her lunch.
——

 

"You're hanging out together, now?" Tony asked, looking at Happy suspiciously.

"Is there something you would like to share with the class?" Pepper asked, with a grin on her face.

 

Happy didn’t reply. He ignored both Pepper and Tony and carried on watching.

 

“Rude.” Steve muttered.

 

Peter looked over to see Happy with tears in his eyes. He couldn’t help but feel bad for him.

 

—-
Peter is surprised that Happy's there. May says he came by to volunteer.
——

 

"I'm sure he did." Tony said, still sounding suspicious.

 

——
May says Happy's hanging around the office and wants to say 'hi.' She holds out the phone and Happy greets Peter, who greets him back.
Happy says he's working really hard and he has to do a leaflet drop he tells Peter to have a good time and says not to worry because he's taking care of May.
——

 

"Oh I'm sure you are." Rhodey said suggestively.

"can we not, please?" Happy asked. He didn't want or need to hear any more of this.
It hurt to think of May.

 

——-
May asks Peter how the plan is going.
Peter glances at Brad and says that there's been setbacks.
May tells him not to overthink it and to trust his instincts. They say their goodbyes and Peter hangs up and joins the class in watching the news.
The TV shows Beck fighting the water monster. Betty wonders who he is.
——-

 

"That's what I want to know. This guy just shows up out of nowhere, fights this sentient water creature and just disappears. Just like that?" Rhodey asked. "It all seems a little fishy to me."

 

“I wish I could’ve killed beck myself.” Happy muttered.

 

Everyone turned their head to look at happy who was seething with anger.

 

“Jesus happy live up to the name.” Tony joked. Earning a couple chuckles around the room.

 

“Fuck off.” Happy said with a dark look in his eye.

 

Everyone seemed to be taken back by the choice of words.

 

“Happy it’s fine. He’s dead anyways.” Peter said as he got up and sat next to him, at an attempt to comfort him.

They were all extremely confused about this apart from fury who knew what was going on.

 

——
Brad says Beck is like Iron Man and Thor rolled into one.
Flash says Beck is alright but he's no Spider-Man.
MJ asks flash what it is what him and Spider-Man.
——-

 

"He's such a fanboy." MJ sighed. "It's hilarious."

 

——
Flash says Spider-Manis awesome, he protects the neighborhood and  inspires him to be a better man.  Peter joins them, Flash greets him and calls him 'Dickwad' and says he thought Peter drowned.
——-

 

"Oh only if he still knew." Ned laughed.

 

"I don't want to even think about what happened when he found out." Peter said.

 

"It was hilarious. His face when he found out was absolutely priceless ." Ned replied.

 

——
Brad listens to the Italian news anchor talk about Beck and says it sounds like his name is Mysterio.
——

 

"Why would his name be 'Mystery'?" Natasha asked.

 

——
MJ corrects him and says that L'uomo del misterio is Italian for 'man of mystery' and they don't know who he is.
Ned and Betty ignore her in favor of using the name Mysterio.
Peter asks MJ how much of the fight she saw.
MJ says she didn't see much because she was running.
Peter says he was also running...away.
——-

 

"More like continuously getting hit in the head with a bell." Sam said.

"You are a terrible liar. It's a miracle you've managed to keep your identity a secret for so long." Natasha said.

 

——-
Peter mentions that they'll be in Paris tomorrow and going to the Eiffel tower should be great.
MJ read that it was secretly built as a mind control antenna to create an army of the insane.
MJ says that's why it's her favorite destination on the whole trip.
In their room, Ned asks Peter what he's going to do about the water monster.
Peter says he'll do nothing because it's dead and Mysterio is all over it. Peter says he wants to spend time with MJ and tells Ned that they were talking about Paris and he thinks she likes him.
Ned says it reminds him of when he and Betty first fell in love. He goes to tell the story but he gets shot with a tranq.
——-

 

"That was so awesome!" Ned said.

“What the fuck?!” Kate yelled.

 

—-
Fury, who's sitting in the corner, tells Peter that he's a very difficult person to contact.
——

 

"You've got to be kidding me." Tony said.

 

"Yeah... ghosting him won't really work. Fury has eyes and ears everywhere, he'll track you down one way or another." Clint sighed.

 

—-
Peter is shocked to see Fury in his room and says he shot Ned. Fury explains that it's a tranq and Ned will be alright.
——-

 

"You can't just do things like this, Nick. It's different when you're showing up in our houses, we're adults who know you. But you can't just show up in a kid's hotel room and tranq his friend." Natasha said. "This kid is only 15”

 

"Let me just add that this is dangerously close to stalking. You keep calling him after he ignored you several times, and suddenly you show up in his hotel room. Even you have to admit that that's weird." Sam added.

 

——
Fury says it's good to meet him and says that he saw Peter at the funeral but didn't think it was a good time to exchange numbers.
Peter agrees that it would have been inappropriate. Fury says the important thing is that Peter's there, he says he tried to bring Peter there but Peter avoided him and now he's there.
——-

 

"Don't tell me you're there because of the water monster." Clint sighed.

 

——
Fury calls it a coincidence.
Peter asks if it was a coincidence.
——

 

"When you're dealing with Fury, nothing is ever a coincidence." Clint said. "Things tend to happen for a reason when it comes to Fury and 10 times out of 10, that reason is Fury himself."

 

——
Fury says he used to know everything and then he comes back 5 years later and he knows nothing.
——-

 

"Well, a lot can change in 5 years." Natasha commented, looking at Fury.

 

—-
He says he has no intel or a team and a high school kid is dodging his calls.
——

 

"You shouldn't have been calling him in the first place because he is, as you said, a high school kid." Steve said.

 

“Well rogers I didn’t have any other hero’s to call. You were either dead, off world, retired or not fit for the job. I recruited him because the avengers that were left dipped after Thanos, you know there was still world ending threats while you were gone? Peter was my last choice in this matter. I didn’t want to recruit a kid, but I did what I had to do.” Fury said. “If anything this is everyone here’s fault I had to recruit the kid.”

 

“I’m gonna have to agree with him on this one.” Happy said.

 

Natasha and Tony sat there and nodded.

 

——-
Fury places places a device on the table which projects a hologram of the Earth. He says that a week ago a village in Mexico was wiped out by a cyclone and the witnesses say that cyclone had a face.
Fury tries to continue, Ned starts to snore.
Fury says 3 days after that, a similar event occurred in Morocco.
——-

 

"In Morocco? There were more?" Bucky asked.

"Apparently. And I'm guessing they're all connected and that's why he's there talking to Peter." Natasha replied.

 

———
Mr. Harrington knocks on the door, Fury points his gun at him.
———

 

"Don't you dare pull that trigger." Steve said to Fury.

 

——-
Mr. Harrington says he's making rounds and seeing if anyone needs emotional counseling after the traumatic events.
——-

 

"You know what? Good on him. He's a caring teacher, not too many would've offered." Sam said.

 

——
Peter tells him that they're fine and thanks him. Mr. Harrington explains that he's not qualified and then realizes that Ned's asleep. He closes the door and leaves.
Peter explains that that was his teacher and tells Fury to continue.
Fury says a village was destroyed by what may be another world-threatening event.
——-

 

"World threatening? There have to be more people qualified to combat this than he was." Tony said. Wondering why Fury wasn't contacting someone else.

 

“Like I said Stark there is only so many hero’s in the world, most of you ditched your duties as earths greatest defenders. Peter wasn’t my first choice.” Fury replied.

 

“What bout Bucky? Sam? Scott? Or any of the Thunderbolts?” Tony asked.

 

“Thunderbolts weren’t formed then, they were still caught up with Valentina. Sam didn’t officially come forward as Captain America for a while. There was then Walker who was Captain America for a day. And scott was off somewhere in the quantum realm.” Fury replied.

 

“Oh. Wait what do you mean Walker became Captain America?” Steve asked.

 

“Not my story to tell.” Fury said.

 

——
Betty knocks on the door, wondering if Ned's still awake because he's not answering any of her texts.
——-

 

"Ahh the honeymoon phase." Clint commented.

"They just can't leave each other alone." Pepper said.

 

—-
Peter tells Betty that Ned is sleeping. Betty leaves.
Mr. Dell knocks on the door and says the canal water was filled with  dangerous bacteria.
Fury tells Peter that they're going to attend another funeral if another person touches the door and tells Peter to suit up.
Fury and Peter, now suited up, are on a boat. Fury passes a glasses case to Peter and says Tony left them for him. Peter opens the case, revealing a pair of glasses with a striking resemblance to Tony's.
——-

 

"Wait I didn’t give you those to give to Peter I gave them to Happy to give them to him. Why do you have them ?" Tony wondered.

 

Peter froze. Tony had actually meant to give them to him.He didn't know how to feel about that. Did Tony expect of him the same thing that everyone else was expecting. Did Tony want him to be the next 'Iron Man?'

 

“I have my reasons stark.” Was all fury said.

 

——
"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." Fury quotes and tells Peter that Tony said he wouldn't get that because it's not a star wars reference.
——-

 

"I got the reference." Peter said. It was from a Shakespeare play, he knew that. "King Henry the IV."

 

——-
They walk into an underground base. Fury tells him he can take the mask off because everyone there has seen him without it and says he'd only be feigning anonymity and breathing through spandex for no reason.
Peter takes the mask off. Fury introduces him to Maria, Dimitri, who cocks his gun, and Quentin Beck.
——-

 

"You're with Mysterio?" Natasha asked. Maybe it was because she knows nothing about him, but she did not feel that they could trust Mysterio, at least not completely.

 

——
Peter recognizes Beck as Mysterio. Beck is confused and Peter explains that it's what his friends have been calling him. Beck introduces himself as Quentin.
——

 

"Quentin Beck." Tony spoke. He paused for a moment. "It's good to put a name to the face, I guess."

 

——
They shake hands, Beck says Peter handled himself well during the fight and says he could use someone like peter on his world.
——-

 

"His world? Like- like another Earth or just another planet with humanoid life?" Kate asked.

 

—-
Fury explains that Beck is from Earth, just not their Earth.
Beck says there are multiple realities. He explains that they're on Earth dimension-616 and he's from Earth-833. Peter gets excited at the prospect of a Multiverse.
——-

 

"A Multiverse." Scott said, words nearly silent.

 

"Didn't the Ancient one try to warn us of this?" Bruce asked. "She said it was dangerous."

"You did too." Natasha pointed out.

 

“So it’s true? There are infinite amounts of us and our worlds?” Bruce asked shocked.

 

“Yes.” Strange said dryly. He’d had enough of dealing with the multiverse.

 

“Is that all you have to say?” Tony asked.

 

Strange ignored his question. For now.

 

——
Peter says he thought it was theoretical and says it completely changes how they understand the initial singularity and they're talking about the eternal inflation system.
Fury and Hill stare at him. Peter apologizes and says it's really cool.
Beck tells Peter to never apologize for being the smartest one in the room.
———

 

"That's good advice, actually." Bruce said. He was always told to never be the smartest person in the room when he was younger. And he wasn't ever sure if that meant he was meant to shut up and be quiet or find a room with smarter people. He leaned toward the former especially considering who said that to him.

 

——
The hologram changes to a black whole. Beck explains that the creatures  are born of the primary elements: air, water, fire and earth and were born in stable orbits within black holes.
——

 

"And so far we've seen earth and water and whichever was attacked in Morocco." Scott spoke. "That just leaves air or...- he tensed- fire."

 

"Are you going to have to fight a fire monster? I don't really want you to fight a fire monster." Tony said.

 

——
He says the science division had a technical name but they just called them elementals.
Maria says versions of them exist across multiple of their mythologies.
Beck says it turns out the myths are real.
——

 

"I feel like myths always have some layer of truth to them." Natasha said.
"Especially considering our... resident Asgardians.”

 

"That leads me to wonder how many myths are actually based in truth." Sam said.

 

——
Peter says it's like Thor, who he says was a myth but now they study him in physics.
Fury says these myths are threats.
Beck says the elementals first appeared on his Earth many years ago and they fought them but they grew stronger with each battle.
Beck says he was part of the last battalion trying to stop them but all they did was delay the inevitable.
Maria says the elementals are there now and attacking at the same coordinates as confirmed by their satellites.
——-

 

"It this like an inevitable thing? They attack every Earth in the same way at the same places and eventually they destroy the planet?" Kate asked.

 

——
Fury tells Peter that he should thank Beck for destroying the other three and says fire is the last one left.
Beck says fire is the strongest one and it’s the one that destroyed his Earth and took his family.
—-

 

Everyone felt a bit of sympathy for Beck. Natasha didn't trust the man yet, but what happened to him couldn't have been easy. Losing your family and then losing your planet had to be tough.

 

—-
Maria says it'll be in Prague in 48 hours.
Fury says their mission is to kill it and says Peter is coming with them.
Peter questions Maria to make sure he heard her right and tells Fury that this seems like bigtime, huge, superhero stuff and says he's just the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
"Bitch please, you've been to space." Fury says.
——-

 

"Wow. I never thought I'd see Nick Fury speak so informally." Natasha said. Sure, he swears a lot but she's never heard him say anything quite like that before.

"I never wanted to go to space, I never meant to go to space. It just sort of... happened." Peter said, at least that's how he saw it. That morning didn't really go according to plan at all and he knows that ending up on that space ship was not his intention.

 

——
Peter says that was an accident.
——

 

"We have very different definitions of the word 'accident.'" Tony said. From what he remembered, the suit was supposed to take Peter back to the ground but the kid decided to shoot a web and got stuck on the space ship anyway.

 

——
Peter says there has to be someone else Fury can use and suggests Thor. Fury says he's off world.
Peter suggests Dr. Strange.
Maria says he's unavailable.
Peter suggests Captain Marvel. Fury tells Peter not to invoke her name.
——-

 

"What about Clint?" Natasha asked.

"And drag him out of retirement for the 4th time?" Fury asked.

"Something is bound to anyway, might as well be you." Clint said. He's been in and out of retirement a few times, it seemed like it didn't really stick.

 

—-
Peter says he wants to help and says that if May found out that he left the class trip she'd kill him.
——

 

"You have to remember, Nick, that you're dealing with a minor, not someone like Stark or Rogers or Banner." Strange reminded. "You can't ask the same things of him that you can for them."

 

——-
Peter says if he's seen like this in Europe after the Washington Monument, his whole class would figure out who he is and then the whole world will figure it out and then he's done.
Fury says he understands and tells him to get back before his teachers miss him and become suspicious.
——-

 

"Really?" Clint asked, a little disbelieving. "Just like that?"

"That was too easy." Natasha said. "I know you, there's no way you'll just leave him alone." She said to Fury.

 

——
Fury tells Dimitri to take Peter back to his hotel. Peter thanks Fury and wishes them luck.
——

 

"I gotta hand it to you, though." Natasha said. "Not to many people have the balls to tell Nick Fury 'no'. Avoiding him is one thing and ghosting his calls is one thing, in person is a whole other situation."

 

——
Peter bids his farewells to Beck and Maria.
——

 

Natasha was shaking her head. There was no way Fury was going to just let Peter leave like that, he's not that kind of man. No, he was planning something and he wasn't going to leave Peter alone just because he asked nicely.

 

——
The next day, the class prepares to leave. Betty reminds Ned to drink water and says she'll get him a vitamin C pill so he doesn't get sick.
As Betty leaves, Peter asks Ned if he's sure he's good.
Ned says he's fine and tells him that getting tranq'd by Fury was probably the coolest thing that's happened to him.
——-

 

"Again. Are you sure you're okay?" Peter asked Ned, who was currently on the receiving end of various strange looks. "Because that's concerning."

"Are you telling me that getting tranq'd by the Nick Fury isn't awesome?" Ned asked.

 

—-
Peter and Ned do their handshake. Peter says he's happy he doesn't have to go to Prague.
Mr. Harrington announces that they're going to Prague.
——-

 

"You son of a bitch." Tony said with a disbelieving look on his face. "You really couldn’t leave the pete alone, could you?"

 

——-
The students are confused. Mr. Harrington explains that the tour company upgraded them.
Mr. Harrington says they should have heard them on the phone with them because he really gave them hell.
Mr. Dell says all he heard was crying.
——-

 

"Damn. He got called out." Scott snorted.

 

——-
Mr. Harrington takes them to their bus, Dimitri is the driver.
——-

 

Steve looked at Fury. "You just can't take no for an answer, can you?" He asked.

"No he cannot." Natasha answered.

 

——-
Ned asks what's going on.
Peter says he thinks Fury hijacked their summer vacation.
Ned says that's awesome.
——-

 

“Dude that was literally one of the few weeks of my life.” Peter said.

 

“One of the worst?” Tony asked raising an eyebrow.

 

Ned and Mj shot each other a glare but neither dared to say anything.

 

——
The bus drives through the Eastern Alps in Austria. Flash is live streaming. He says he's cruising through the alps with his private driver, Dimitri.
——-

 

"He is insufferable." MJ said.

 

——
Peter looks up the 10 most romantic places in Prague.
Peter decides to take out the glasses Tony left for him, he puts them on and reads the note that Tony left with them which reads, 'For the next Tony Stark, I trust you. PS say EDITH.'
——-

 

"Why can't I just be Peter and be Spider-Man?" Peter asked. Why was everyone, including Tony himself apparently, looking to him to be the next Iron Man. Maybe- maybe there didn't need to be another Iron Man, has anyone thought of that?

 

——
As Peter reads the note out loud, the word EDITH activates the glasses. EDITH scans Peter and the introduces herself at Tony's augmented-reality and security defense system.
Peter wonders if Tony made EDITH for him. EDITH says no and says Peter does have access to Tony's protocols.
——-

 

"Are you sure that was a good idea? Giving him access to this type of thing?" Pepper asked. She's seen what Tony's JARVIS and FRIDAY can do and she wasn't sure giving something that requires that much responsibility to a 16 years old was the best idea. She had no doubts that Peter could be trusted with it, but whether he was responsible enough was a different question. Karen was different because, at least with her, the majority of what she could do was locked.

 

——-
EDITH asks if he'd like to see what she can do and tells him that EDITH stands for 'Even Dead I'm the Hero.'
——-

 

"Of course it does. Why would it be anything different?" Rhodey asked with a small laugh.

 

——
EDITH says Tony loved his acronyms.
——

 

"Yes he does." Pepper agreed, a sad smile on her face. She felt a pang of sadness when she heard EDITH talk about Tony in the past tense.

"Acronyms and nicknames. His two favorite things." Happy said.

"Don't forget about alliteration." Rhodey said. "He loves his alliteration."

 

——
EDITH says she has access to the entire Stark Global Security network as well as defense satellites and back doors to major telecommunication networks.
——-

 

"Global security. I don't want to think about what that entails." Clint said.

 

——
Through the glasses, Peter can see what everyone is doing on their phones. Mr. Dell is looking up the history of witchcraft, Flash texts his parents who he hasn't heard from in days.
——-

 

"I almost feel bad for him." MJ said. She probably would have felt bad for him if he wasn't such a prick.

 

——-
Brad is also looking up romantic spots in Prague.
Peter wonder's if MJ is texting before he puts his head down and realizes it's wrong to pry.
Betty and Ned are sitting side by side texting each other that they miss one another. Peter gives them a weird look.
——-

 

"You're sitting right next to each other! Why are you texting?" Sam asked.

 

"Teenagers are weird." Rhodey sighed.

 

——
Dimitri stops the bus for gasoline and a restroom break. He says they have 10 minutes.
——-

 

"10 minutes isn't enough time for all of them to use the restroom." Scott commented, but no one paid it any mind.

 

——
As everyone gets off the bus, Dimitri stops Peter and directs him toward a separate building.
Inside, there's a woman waiting for him, she tells him to close the door. Peter closes the door introduces himself. She tells him to take off his clothes.
She says he told Fury that Spider-Man can't be seen in Europe so she made him another suit.
Peter takes it from her and says he's sure it fits fine so he doesn't need to try it on.
The woman tells him to take off his clothes.
Peter slowly starts to take off his pants. The woman tells him to hurry. Once Peter's pants are down, Brad walks in and Peter tries to hide behind the woman.
——-

 

The room erupted into laughter at the scene.

 

——
Brad apologizes and says he thought that was the bathroom. Peter says this isn't what it looks like. Brad takes a picture.
The woman pulls out her gun, Peter tells her not to shoot.
——-

 

"Why are they all so ready to shoot at kids?" Sam wondered. It was concerning to say the least.

 

——
Peter pulls his pants back up and walks outside to try and explain things to Brad.
Brad says he won't judge Peter's life choices and says it's fine if he wants to hook up with some random European chick.
Brad says he can't pretend that he never saw what he saw.
Brad says it's obvious that Peter's trying to get with MJ but he likes her too.
Peter tells Brad not to show MJ the photo.
Brad says he has to because MJ deserves to know the truth.
——-

 

"I guess it's a good thing I do." MJ said.

"Showing her that picture is going way beyond what ever petty rivalry the two of you have going on. Does he not realize that?" Kate asked.

"Of course he doesn't he's a teenager. Most teenagers aren't capable of that level of foresight especially when it comes to matters like this." Clint said.

 

——
Back on the bus, all of the kids start talking. Peter looks at Brad and puts the EDITH glasses on
——

 

"Peter... you know better than this." Pepper said. She knows what she said and thought before and she really doesn't want to be proved right.

 

——
EDITH asks Peter how she can help.
Peter tells her that there's a guy in his class who's gonna ruin everything.
EDITH asks Peter to speak up.
Peter says Brad Davis has a photo of him.
EDITH asks if he's a target. Peter confirms.
——-

 

"I don't like the sound of that." Tony said.

 

——
EDITH initiates the strike.
——

 

"What?! Initiating what?" Pepper yelled.

 

"Like-Like an air strike?" Steve asked, panicked. "This is bad. This is very bad.”

 

—-
A Stark Industries satellite releases a drone which makes its way toward their bus.
——

 

"You gave him access to killer drones?" Steve asked.

 

"What were you thinking?" Pepper asked.

 

She loved the man with her whole heart, but sometimes Tony really didn't seem to think about the rest of the world and how his decisions affect it.

Peter starting to think that maybe Fury should've held off giving him those glasses. He knew that he wasn't ready for that kind of responsibility. And why had Tony let him have access to killer drones? It felt like a complete 180, especially since he hadn't even let him have access to any of Karen's protocols.

 

—-
Peter takes off the glass and Flash quickly takes them from him and asks how he paid for them.
Peter asks for them back and accidentally knocks him out when trying to get them back from him and then apologizes.
——

 

"My bad." Peter said.

 

"Only you would apologize for punching the kid that likes to pick on you." MJ said.

 

——
Peter quickly puts the glasses back on and tells EDITH not to kill Brad.
——

 

"Yes!" Everyone shouted.

 

——
EDITH asks if Peter wants to cancel the drone strike on Brad.
A student asks Peter if he just punched Flash. Peter says no.
The drone fires. Peter webs the steering wheel, causing the bus to swerve and avoid the shot.
——-

 

"That won't work, though. You've gotta go for the drone." Sam advised.

 

“I know” Peter muttered.

 

—-
The driver's side mirror gets shot and Dimitri swerves to avoid falling off the mountain.
Peter realizes the glasses have fallen and picks them up. The drone strikes again. Mr. Harrington tells Peter to get in his seat.
Peter points out the window and lies about there being baby mountain goats and everyone looks out the window.
Peter jumps through the bus's emergency roof exit and webs the drone, effectively destroying it, then drops back into the bus.
——-

 

Tony let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god." He was definitely taking them back.

 

"Never do that again." Pepper said. "I mean it. Never."

"Yeah." Peter agreed.

 

——
The group stops looking for the goats. Mr. Harrington says he didn't see any.
Peter says they missed them.
——

 

"I can't believe that actually worked." Pepper said.

 

—-
Betty says she knows Peter thinks none of them have noticed.
——

 

"She doesn't know... right?" Kate asked.

 

"I mean, no offence, but you are horrible at the whole secret identity thing. I mean Mr. Stark... ned, your aunt, all of the Avengers..." Kate said. "You don't have the best track record.

 

——
Betty says she loves Peter's new look.
Ned agrees, calling it sophisticated, classy and very European.
Peter collapses in his seat and says they should try that again.
