Stori£s 101 :)

It had been at least a week since everything was somewhat normal again. At least for Sam. The team finally found out it was actually him, and there had been no signs of Zack. However no one brought up the topic when Sam was around. It was like if nothing had happened.

Flashback: Tuesday

"So what, we're just not gonna ask him anything about what happened?" Spiderman asked his team members.

"Dude, he just got here two nights ago. I think we should let him rest." Powerman replied back.

"I mean, he does look like he's still in shock himself. So, maybe we should wait..." Tiger said as she turned towards the hospital bed with a messy black hair teen sleeping.

"He can tell us himself when he's ready." Fist said calmly.

"Alright, so then, do we just act casual?" Spidey asked wanting to make sure. "No weird and evil stuff happened here?"

They nodded agreeing. He sighed as he looked back at the hospital bed across from where they were standing. "Okay."

"So remember, no talking about Zack or anything. Only until he bring up the subject." Tiger reminded everyone as they were making their way towards the S.H.I.E.L.D infirmary.

The days went on. Sam had still not brought up the 'Zack' subject. It made sense, since he, believe it or not, had not talked that much. He smiled and all, but you could tell there was something wrong with him. They knew Sam wasn't himself, Dr. Connor had told them in a few days Sam was going to slowly be himself again. It was all a matter of time, and patience. The team was dying to know everything, where is Zack? What happened to him? So many questions to ask...

Flashback: Friday

Two days had passed, Sam had told them he felt fine. So he started to sleep in Peters house again, everything was going back to normal, slowly. His personality was coming back again to him. The sarcasm, the jokes, even the cooking started to show a little bit.

"Hey, who's winning?" Luke asked as he sat in the couch.

"Uh, not sure. I was about to change the channel...I don't watch football." Sam said looking at the TV with the remote on hand ready to change it. Danny was sitting on the other end of the couch, even though he was more like meditating than watching TV.

This was the biggest insult to Luke "You kidin' right?

Sam shrugged "Nop, sorry." Luke simply shook his head in disappointment. There was a small 'Ding' noise coming from the kitchen. Sams eyes widened.

"Oh, my brownies!" He said as he got up and ran towards the kitchen.

Inside the Kitchen: Minutes before Sam went inside

Ava went to the kitchen to serve herself some water. She opened the fridge as peter came inside as well.

"hey," He said as he made his way towards the table and sat down.

She smiled as she placed back the water in the fridge and turn towards Peter. "Okay, so what is it?"

The brunett frowned and had a confused face. "W-What is it what?" he asked. She rolled her eyes playfully.

"Peter, you're a terrible liar. I know you wanna tell me something..."

The brunett felt nothing but heat and rush down his whole face. His heart began to beat loudly, he was almost worried she was going to hear it. He was suddenly nervous, mainly because he knew she was right. He did wanted to tell her something for quite some time now, and he was a terrible liar.

" I Uh," He sighed. "So, did you really like Zack?" he asked making sound a little playful and somewhat making fun of. But deep inside, he was being completely serious. This was bothering him, did she really have feeling for him?

As soon as he asked, Ava slightly straightened up a bit, as she took a deep breath. She looked down with a smile. "I still can't believe it."She said shaking her head. "I'm actually very surprised you didn't tell me anything..." she said as she looked up to see him. Peter swallowed.

"I uh, I actually didn't know." He said looking down as he played with a spoon on the table. "That you, um," he cleared his throat "had felling for him..." The words burned his mouth, like bleach and soap all combined.

Ava looked down, she seemed to be in thought. There was no eye contact from either of them. Peter was afraid to look up, no wanting to see. And Ava was lost in thought. Oh My God, what do I say? I can't just tell him how I feel...or can I? She blinked and faked a smile.

"Uh, well, thats gone. So it doesn't even matter..." she said. "Why do you ask?" she said a little suspicious.

This made Peter look up and made eye contact with her. He shrugged. "Oh, just, curious, I guess." He saw she was still not convinced, so he elaborated on it. "I mean, I just, you know, can't imagine you with a 'bad guy' " he quoted with a face and a somewhat forced smile.

She nodded smiling a little awkwardly. She chuckled once "Yeah, Me neither." She said. Once again she seemed to be lost in thought. Peter noticed and just couldn't help himself and asked.

"So, was he like, nice? I mean, like a good guy?"

She thought about that for a moment. It took her a minute to answer. "I uh, I don't know, I guess..."

"I mean, I don't know, he was just...different. Like I would of never thought he was...all that." and with that, a moment of silence followed.

Peter nodded. His heart once again pounding. This is it. I have to tell her. He wanted to tell her how he feels about her, just tell her everything. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. He was almost beginning to sweat.

C'mon, just do it. Now or Never. He took a deep breath.

"Look Ava-" before he could go on, a "Ding" noise interrupted him. Making them both turn towards the teen that came in running.

"My Brownies!" he yelled. As he got them out and placed them on the table. "They're ready!" This brought two more teens into the kitchen.

Peter sighed as he looked to the side. Wow, perfect timing. Great. Just great.

Ava noticed, but saw no signs of him wanting to keep on going. She looked down, a little disappointed. As she suddenly paid her attention to the brownies. The brunett did the same.

The brownies were good. They were delicious. Everyone was eating on. Sam smiled as he sat on the kitchen bar next to the sink, while the others sat on the table. He sighed he knew what he needed to say and explain.

"Look guys," He started bring all the teens attention towards him. "First, I guess I should say I'm sorry. For not telling you guys about...you know." he said with a fake small smile. He took a deep breath.

"I know you guys are waiting for me to tell you what happened back there..."

This made the teens exchange looks.

"But honestly, I'm not even sure what happened. I, I don't remember much." he admitted.

"Its alright Sam," Luke began. "What matters is that you're back."

The others agreed. Even though Peter wished he would actually know what did happened to Zack. But he agreed as well. He smiled, he was actually glad bucket head was back.

"Yeah, it was getting a little too normal without you..." Peter teased. Sam smiled and chuckled a little.

"So, are we back to normal?" Ava asked smiling.

Sam shrugged "Yea, I guess so." There was a couple of claps and cheers.

"I say we throw a party."

Everyone stopped, everything was suddenly silence. And everyone turned to look at Danny, who was smiling.

"What?" he asked casually.

"You, You wanna throw a party?" Peter asked in disbelief.

"Hell yeah." was his response. Everyones eyes were widened. "I think we all deserve it."

Sam nodded "Hey, I'm not gonna complain to that" he said with palms up.

The others suddenly smile. They seemed to agree on the idea.

Present day:Outside of the city

"Wait, are you sure?" he asked with fear in his voice.

"I told you, they were gonna find out sooner or later." A static voice replied back.

He took a deep breath. "Okay, so how long?"

"I, I don't know, a couple of days? maybe a week?"

"Okay so theres still time. So, maybe I can just-"

"Zack." the static voice interrupted. "You're done. This plan is over, you have to tell him."

Zack looked down in thought and with a worried face. He seemed to be thinking as he heard the voice.

"You have to tell Sam." The voice said. "You have to warn him. Before its too late."
