Orphan Spider

Chapter 6

I then walked over to the desk, sat down and Anna showed me how everything worked and how I would make the coffee. She then left leaving me alone in my office.

"ughhhh..." I say to myself. I really felt disappointed, I mean, come on! Instead of working in the labs, I have to sit in an office and deliver coffee. Mr. Morita even said I hade the highest grade out of everyone in the school, and Wendy even got excited to meet me since I am apparently "The youngest intern at S.I". God, I'm salty.

I chuckle to myself and just think about what Anna said. "We all start somewhere." So I start working, and when I'm done with that and have delivered coffee to people I just do my homework.

~Time skip to after the internship~

I made my way out of the tower and hurried off to an empty alleyway, changed and then called Ned. We talked for a bit while I started to swing to Queens to leave my backpack on a roof close to the orphanage. When I made it there, I webbed my backpack to the roof. And then finally I started patrol.

You know the rest. Helped people, met the Avengers, which made Ned nearly faint. Escaped the Avengers, ended patrol, said goodbye to Ned and hurried back to the orphanage. Got a small beating and now I'm just laying on the floor sulking.

And for people thinking "Wow Peter! Your life is soooo interesting!" Then to you I say...!

.

No.

.

No it's not. Even though I love helping people it can- ... It can get tiresome... I mean, meeting the Avengers is cool and all... But since they are trying to capture me, it's just... Tiresome. Everyone around me, they all seem so happy, nearly all the kids at my school, they have families. People who love them. But I don't-

...

...I don't have that. Not anymore at least.

"Peter! Come on! Dinners ready!" Aunt May yells from the kitchen.

"Coming!" I yell back from my room.

We are living in a small apartement somewhere in Queens and today is my birthday.

I run out of  my room and enter the small kitchen.

"Happy Birthday Pete!!" May and Ben yell at the same time as I enter the room. "9 years, wow, soon you'll be as old as me." Uncle Ben says with a chuckle.

"Oh don't worry sweety, you won't be as old as him in a loong while." Aunt May says, walking over to me.

We all got seated round the small table and on it was a fluffy chocolate cake with the words 'Happy Birthday Peter!' on it.

Everything feels warm and the atmosphere was calming. May and Ben are smiling. I am smiling. It's nice.

I... I really miss this.

I really miss them.

"eter-"

"Peter..."

"Peter!"

"Huh...? What...?"

"Peter please wake up!"

"Stop yelling... Or the psychos will hear you..." I say to whoever is calling my name.

"Oh my god, you're okay..." The person hugs me.

I open my eyes to see Allie, who's hugging me, Peggy and Max around me. They all look worried. Did something happen?!

"What the...? What's wrong?!" I ask nervously.

"Don't worry Peter, everyone's okay." Peggy says to me. She then tells Allie and Eli, who just came down the stairs, to make breakfast. Wait. Breakfast?!

"What time is it?" I ask them.

"6:11AM. You slept on the floor the whole night." Peggy explained.

"So when you weren't in your bed this morning we got really worried. We checked every room and then we found you down here by the door, and you wouldn't wake up the first couple of times we called your name." Max explained. "Peter, you can't keep doing this. What if  one day won't wake up? What will happen then?!" He whisper-yells at me.

"Max. I am Not letting those bitches touch you, any of you. Now. let's get everyone ready."

~Time skip to school lunch~

"Peter!" Ned yelled from a table in the back in the cafeteria.

"Hey Ned, Hey MJ." I say getting a smile from Ned and a wave from MJ.

"Soooooo, how was the internship??????" Ned asked excitingly. I didn't really have the chance to tell him yesterday during patrol or our first lessons.

"It was, well, I am a bit... umm, disappointed...? I... umm, I'm not allowed to work in the labs, since I am "Too Young". So I... umm, I work in an office, ordering stuff and giving people their coffee... I guess." I tell them a bit hesitantly.

I look up at Ned and MJ. Ned looks shocked, like someone died or something, and MJ, she... umm, she looks pissed.

"That's bullshit." MJ says, clearly annoyed. Ned nods with her statement.

"Well... umm, my supervisor...umm... my supervisor Anna, she... umm, she said that... she said that we all start somewhere and that she also used to... she too used to work in an office before she worked in the... in the labs." I explain quickly. Both Ned's and MJ's expressions seems to calm a bit, but they still look a little pissed, so I change the subject and we start talking about something else until the bell rings.

~Time skip to the office~

I sit in my office doing homework since I have nothing else to do. This whole office thing is really starting to get to me. So I just try to remember what Anna told me.

"We all start somewhere."

I continue to work and just hope that something good will happen in my life.

A/N

Poor Peter, he thought he would get to work in the labs but nah. They throw the "Too Young" card at his face. Or,  I, threw the "Too Young" card. Whoops.

The flashback takes place a couple of months before Uncle Ben dies, so on Pete's 9th birthday.

That's All For Now Folks!

G'night, G'day and G'morning!
