Sorry, for the late chapter. I took a break for Easter and some other stuff, but I'm back and I got chapter 12!
There's one thing I wanted to clear up but I forgot to mention it awhile ago. My timeline is a little weird here. Obviously, endgame and the blip didn't happen, I'm ignoring all that. But Thanos did come, they just beat him during infinity war or something. MJ did not find out Peter was spiderman in europe, but she confronted him in a similar way during their junior year. Anyway, here you go, enjoy!

Everyone was enjoying their mini pizzas when Friday announced that the Avengers apprehended the intruders but are keeping the building on lockdown until further notice to be safe.

"You guys should probably text your parents, we were supposed to be back at the school in… 20 minutes." Peter looked at the digital clock.

"Do you really think it'll last that long?" Betty asked

"I dunno, just to be safe, though, tell them you might be a little late."

They finished up and continued watching The Incredibles. Peter stayed in the kitchen and asked Friday about the lockdown ETA. Nothing new. At this point they had been there a half an hour longer than planned and Peter was feeling almost suspicious that the Avengers were tricking him or something. He shoved that thought out of his head, reminding himself that, even though lots of them were immature dicks who liked to tease each other, they were also fully grown adults who from time to time saved the world and did care about Peter's wellbeing (see the Flash incident). Locking him in his living space as Stark Tower with his classmates would be over the line. There's probably some procedure to secure the tower. He sat down next to Ned on the couch to watch the movie with the rest of them.

When the movies finished, people were starting to become restless, looking to Peter for why they hadn't been released yet.

"Friday, what are the Avengers doing right now? What's taking so long?"

"There has been no new information since you last asked me that 10 minutes ago." He swore he heard some sass in her tone, "Would you lik… Boss just informed me that the intruders in captivity claim there are others in the building. We will remain on lockdown until they can search the tower entirely."

"Search the tower? Aren't there like 90 floors? We're going to be stuck here forever!" Flash yelled

"Chill, Flash. It'll go faster than you think. They have trained superheroes on the job." Peter assured

"How can you be so sure? How could you even know them that well?"

"Oh please Flash."

"I'm serious. All that was proven to me today was that the Avengers are easily bribed and Penis will do anything to look like a hero."

"You're kidding me, Eugene. Are you really that stupid or do you just ignore every fact thrown at you?" MJ said

"I don't know, Michelle, how are you going to ignore that he's worthless and it doesn't make sense that he could possibly have a job here."

"You're sick, you know that, Flash?" She was enraged now, her fiery stare the most menacing thing Peter's had ever seen. And he'd seen a lot. He was running out of patience, though. And he didn't want MJ to keep defending him. Flash was on his last nerve.

"Ok, Michelle. I'll stop talking about him. What about you? I'm Michelle and I act like I'm smarter than everyone because I read and stuff. Oh, I've got family trauma and am so jaded about life. You're just as phony as Penis" And that was it. Peter watched the look on MJ's face falter slightly, even though she remained stoic. It was fine when Flash teases Peter, annoying sure, but he was not just going to sit there and let Flash go after others. So, finally, after years of taunts and bullying, Peter snapped.

"Just, stop!" Peter yelled. Everyone looked at him. Most were surprised, some looked impressed, Flash was enraged.

"What did you say-?"

"Just, stop. Mess with me? Fine, but don't mess with my friends."

"Oh, look he's playing the hero aga—"

"Oh my god, just shut up! How can I get it into your head that I don't care what you say about me? Like at all? All you do is make fun of the people around you just to make yourself feel big. And all day you blatantly ignore everything that confirms that I know the Avengers just so you can feel justified to make some sick little joke. I mean for god's sake I have my own room here! I come here every friday! They threw me a birthday party this year! I don't owe you an explanation and I think I speak for everyone when I say you should just stop talking."

Whoa

Silence. Pure, shocked silence. And everyone was shocked now. Ned, of course, and MJ, too. Mr. Harrington and Mr. Dell, it had just come to their attention something was going on, stood in the back stunned. Flash looked especially surprised. For years he had almost waited for Peter to break, but at some point he decided it was never going to happen. He had no response other than opening his mouth and then deciding it would be better just to leave the room. He scurried off and Ned pulled over to Peter.

"That. Was. Amazing. Do you know how long I've waited for you to do that?"

"I shouldn't have, it's just going to make things worse, once Flash comes up with a comeback." Peter said, but he was smiling slightly

"Did you see his face, though? It was soo worth it."

Peter smiled, but he wasn't really sure how he felt. Part of him was happy he did it, but the other part was feeling shaky again. Everything felt muddled as he sat down in the nearby chair. The low chatter of his impressed classmates faded. He closed his eyes, recognizing the familiar feeling. The shiver down his spine came right before he heard it.

The cock of a gun.

Right behind the locked elevator door.

Like I was going to let Peter get away without some action. We're nearing the final stretch here! Like 2 more chapters to go probably, and maybe a short epilogue. Comments are always appreciated!
