All of midtown knew of peter parker,the cryptid of the school. He seemed like an open book at first,but you realize how closed off he was. Everyone knew that his parents,and uncle were dead,but no one knew really anything else. Oh,and peter is ex-HYDRA and Spider-Man,not that Midtown knew...

Mr Harringtonhad a rule. If your phone rings in class, you answer on speaker. With Peter Parker this backfired horribly. Peter's phone rang and start harington's class one day as he viewed the caller id,his eyes widened.

" Mr Harrington,I don't think I can answer this on speaker."

"no exceptions peter,you know that."peter answered the phone with a frown.

" hey uncle Matthew-"

"hey pete! how are you? are we still up for that meeting on wednesday? i havent slept in about 71 hours and ive had about seven cups of coffe.do you want to set up a feild trip for your school here? i can do that-"

" Matthew ellis! go to bed! 71 hours!? sevon cups of coffee!? god you're almost as bad as tony! jesus. go to sleep as soon as we stop talking. i will check. also,you're on speaker,dont reveal any 'secrets'. goodnes."

".... yes sir, peter... "

"good. now,i have to clean up your mess. again. bye uncle Mathew. go. to. bed."

"sorry pete!! goodbye!" peter disconnected the call.the he just sat down as if nothing ever happened. Mr harrington just dismissed the class after that.

that was the day that midtown learned that peter had connections.

peter looked so tired some people thought he would just fall asleep right then and there. he fell asleep in the same class to the point the teacher didnt even wake him up. he also looked on edge. like,as if someone was going to attack him at any moment. people heard him and ned whisper during breaks.

"hey man,Hydra mission go well?" ned asked.

"it went until seven AM. im surprised i even made it today. also,my old handler escaped our holding cell. he knows where i live,go to school. god if he attacks today."

" oh buddy. tell me if anything happens. are you hurt?"

"no,but clint got sprayed in the face with some weird chemicals and now hes really sick. i feel really bad. he did push me out of the way."

that was the only spinet people got before it was off the gym class.

about fifteen minutes into the dodge ball game,peter manages to be the only one left on the last team. no one has any idea on how he managed to stay in for so long. at this point peter is half asleep. so to everyone's surprise when he manages to dodge all the balls thrown at him. he the continues to catch a few of the in a split second. no one moves. they all just stare at peter. hes just staring into space. the he leaves. just dead-ass drops the ball in his hand and leaves, putting in an earpiece and joining a very heated conversation.

peter was a talkative person. everyone knew that. but sometimes,peter went quite. so quite that everybody noticed. today,they where at a field trip. to a trampoline park. peter was vibrating. like,he looked like a 5 year old child with a sugar high. as they got off the bus,and into the park, peter went a little quite. like something was off.when they went into the actual park,peter took off. he still seemed on edge,but he was doing so many cool flips and things that it wasnt very visible. and of course,that is when things went wrong.

"Peter!!!" they all looked over to see a 20 something looking woman with blonde hair in a braid. peter visibly relaxed and started vibrating at the sight of her. 

"yelana!!! i thought you were in Russia!!! also im with my class,so... what are you doing here!?"

"nat wanted me to train here! said something about it being 'fun'! anyways,you wanna spar?"

"nats here?"

"mhm! lets go fight with her! Pleeaase?" peter's eyes lit up. he and the woman(yelana?) ran towards another woman,who was THE BLACK WIDOW! just as peter went to HUG HER Mr Harrington grabbed him.

"peter! please refrain from hugging the BLACK WIDOW. i dont need a dead student. please? "

"actually,peter is a good friend of mine,please let go of him. now." black widow spoke up. 

"yep! peteys our friend! we would never hurt him! now,sparring? please?" the last part was directed at peter. he just nodded his head, and a minute later, they were fighting. people whipped out their phones,because,an avenger was sparring with a random person and a highschooler. in the middle of the fight,it stopped,something was said in Russian,and peter's hoodie was off. and underneath,was a tight skin shirt,and peter was RIPPED. like a sculpture. and then they were fighting again. the fight lasted for a minute,before peter managed to take down the black widow,his foot against her neck,and the other woman,with his hands around her neck. they then dropped to the floor,laughing. peter put his hoodie back on,and went back to his class. that was the day that midtown learned not to mess with peter.

At this point, people just decided that peter was a secret agent. No other explanation was found. the proof:

1. Peter always eyes the exits. like he would need to escape at a moment's notice
2. Peter knows the building like the back of his hand. he knows shortcuts, nooks, and passwords
3. Peter always sizes people up, as if he would need to fight them. 
4. Peter is picked up by THE BLACK WIDOW and THE CAPTAIN AMERICA, and hawkeye.
5. Peter knows how to fight, and is very fit. proof: 
   1. him fighting black widow.
   2.  him being able to not break a sweat during gym.
6. he knows a bunch of languages.
7. one time we were talking about how to kill someone(we don't know why) and peter just came up to us and said that that wasn't efficient and proceeded to explain the most simple ways to kill a human. 
8. killer reflexes and instincts.]
9. peter is RIPPED
10. peter is super stealthy. he can come up behind you and you wouldn't notice.its creepy,and weird.

midtown knew at this point that peter was a badass. like,really badass. but boy the were in for a surprise. seventh period was a testing period.all phones where turned in to the office and were collected at the end. so,when peter's phone started to ring in the middle of class.from him,they were surprised.he was a geniuos,why would he be cheeting? "peter Parker! why do you have your phone!?" come turn it in and we will talk about this later!" "no,miss,that isnt my phone" "oh really? i can tell that it is! its coming from you! come turn it in right now! and you have detention!" at this point most of midtown was snickering. peter had it in,big time. peters expression changed to smug and then blank. " alright miss. but you asked for it." peter pressed his shoulder. all the students where confused. why would he press his shoulder? and then he twisted his arm at his 360 degrees! his arm fell through his sleeve,revealing that it was all metal with a small glove that looked like skin. peter looked at it for a second and rolled his eyes. he clicked a button. a voice started speaking from the arm.

"peter! we have a mission! its Hydra.that facility that you made your first kil-"

(bold is Russian)

"bucky i swear to god!! its testing period! i just had to reveal that i had a metal arm! you fucking idiot bucky! like,you would think that the former winter soldier would better at keeping up with schedules! now. im on speaker. what.do.you.want."

" jesus kid. no need to come at me. its an assignment were,you know..."

"can it wait??"

"yes. we will do this later." now.only one person other then peter in this room knew Russian. Betty did.

"peter..? that was the winter solider. you- you just yelled at the winter soldier."

"Fuck. right.none of this leaves the room,or no one will find your body. everyone nodded.

this was the day that midtown learned that peter was completely BADASS

Abe lived next to Deadpool. Or a really good cos-player. Who knows. But everyone knows not to knock on his door. so Abe is more then surprised when the school wide nerd,peter parker,shows up at the ass-crack of dawn,clutching his BLEEDING side and pounding on  Deadpool's door.

"Um,peter? That's not my house... Also should I call an ambulance?"

" No! No,I'm good. WADE YOU FUCKER OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR I SWEAR TO GOD!!!" peter screamed at the door. And at that point Deadpool decided to open the door.

"Hey petey-pie! Is that a stab wound I see? Didn't stark say something about not getting stabbed again? Ooh! Is that your friend?? "

"Wade I swear to God if you don't let me in right now I will not hesitate to sic bucky and Nat on you."peter said,grinding his teeth.

"Peter! Are you crazy!? He's a killer for hire! Hell kill you!"

"Trust me Abe,he won't. And I've done much worse then him.also,hes like six months clean. You can come in to make sure he doesn't kill me if you want.now wade.let.me.in." Abe was a little scared now..peter had threatened a trained killer,and he had a stab wound. abe followed peter into the apartment.it was surprisingly cozy.

"Dp can you pass me the kit please?" Deadpool passed peter a kitten. 

" A KITTEN? I GOT FUCKING STABBED AND YOU PASS ME A KITTEN? The medical kit you dumbass." Deadpool passed peter a first aid kit . The peter pulled a fucking steak knife out of his side.and iron man crashed through the window.of course. 

"peter! what in thor's name are you doing here!? "

"Nothing you need to know of. now. please make sure my friend here doesn't die and/ signs an NDA. "

abe decided that was the moment to sign a form and leave.

by this point,all of midtown knew about the metal arm. no one said anything about the winter soldier though,but no one died.that was a plus. peter continued to stick by ned and MJ through the school year. they were just on thee way to math,when the PA system screeched.

"all Academic decathlon students please report to the music room! we have an announcement!" peter was seen sighing,before trudging to the music room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"we have a field trip! i cant tell you were though! its a surprise!"Mr. Harrington announced. peter slammed his head on the table.the rest of the class looked a little wary.

"dont we nearly die every time we go on one?" MJ asked.

"i know that,but i promise you,we will be well protected the entire time!" the class shrugged and peter narrowed his eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

peter climbed onto the bus. he had a bad feeling,like he always did right before something big happened.as he and ned talked about legos,and star wars,peter recognized the series of turns they took.

"oh no." he whispered. it couldn't be!

"class may i please have your attention! we are heading to,drum roll please! AVENGERS TOWER!!!" the class erupted into chaos. peter just sighed. he was absolutely exhausted of this shit.

"now,please line up,and head inside in a nice,orderly manor!"
peter went last in line. he filtered out ned's rambling, and focused on the sounds of the lobby.he could feel his spider sense tingling in the back of his neck,justifying his anxiety. he filtered through the tour guides speech,until the badge part came.

"... Betty brant,Eugene Thompson, cindy moon- peter parker!?" the last part came in a half afraid,half amazed voice.

"peter parker? go-good too meet you.here is your badge that happy made for you,its so good to meet you." the guide said,voice faltering.

"thank you." peter said simply. all the employees knew him as the cryptid,they knew his name,past,and status,but they still calld him that.they were all justifiably afraid of him.but they treated him like a normal human being,and respected him. one time,an old lab head who was out on the week of the announcement,found him fixing problems near the end of the day. that man was an annoying one,he yelled at peter for five minutes before some of the interns came in,stating not to yell at peter and that he was just fixing the problem. peter,who didnt really speak yet to the interns,and was still healing from Hydra,was on the verge of a panic attack and tears. the interns called for natasha and he left.but after that,he started to talk more to them,and stand up for himself some more.he wasnt the asset anymore,he was peter parker.

someone must have noticed the difference between peters badge and theirs,because people were asking questions about the different levels.

"alright,ill explain the levels.
the clear badges are for tours,you guys can only go in the lobby and the cafeteria without a guide.the,the white is for janitors,they can access the entire building,but they need to be let onto the floors by someone with a higher badge.the,the red is for press,orange is for tour guides, yellow is for interns, green is for the people who shadow,blue is for the employees,purple is for the high scientists. now,then,silver is for the avengers that dont live here, bronze for the avenger that do, gold is for tony stars family and friends. and black badges,there is only one.its for the tower's cryptid,and has all access. peter was of course looked at. he just stared at them.

"now,if you'll please follow me through security check. " peter watched as everyone went through,friday calling out their name,level,and threat level.

"Michele Jones Watson. badge level gold,threat level 79%" people stared at her but not too long.

"Edward 'Ned' Leeds. level gold. threat level 30%"
peter was dreading going through the scaner.

"Peter parker-[BLEEP].underoos. cryptid. kid. young one. little spider. little brother. red. silver. petey-pie. mini boss. tiny stark. mini Barnes. badge level black.threat level 100%, 15 authorized weapons.peter,good to see you home. night arachnid has a message and Popsicle is cooking pasta for dinner. birdbrain is above you. would you like me to play the message?"

'yes please Friday."peter said exasperatingly.

"peter,we know about the field trip. enjoy." FRIDAY said in nats voice.this was going to go great.
