Dancing Disaster (End Part 1)

I made sure to avoid Peter at school. No I wasn't angry... a lot. I just... didn't feel comfortable with him seeing me like the mess I am now. Not to mention the longing, guilty, sad stare I'd get from him... I just couldn't do it.

"I guess you already have a date to homecoming"

"Actually, I was so busy planning it, I never really got around to that part, so..."

That sounds like...

"Uh, you wanna, go with me?"

"Yeah, sure"

No this is fine... I'm fine..

I walked in the opposite direction in order to get to class. Yes, it was a loop around the school but it was a lot better in my opinion. Am I avoiding my feelings? Totally.

But it feels so much better..

-

I'm going to dive deeper into the whole Vulture thing. It beats everything else I had in mind. I remember his face and so does... Lucille...

I-It's okay, nothing is easy. I can find him, no problem. I jumped on to the internet and began typing in everything I knew about Vulture.

After a while I began to find results. Of course, it was a Facebook account and a few images. Unfortunately it had no names but it worked. It was definitely him.

Now if I can get this right, I should be able to get an IP... Got it!

"Vulture here I come!"

I jumped up looking for my old suit that was in my closet. I eventually found all of the parts to it and I jumped out of my window.

-

As soon as I get to the address, I see him talking to someone in a suit. A formal one, that is. He was invited into the house and the door was then shut. I need to get closer to hear them.

I quickly ran up to the house and watched what was going on in it. My eyes widened when I saw Peter and the man having what seems to be an awkward chat.

The man looked over at a lady in red. It was Liz.

"Wow. Wow, wow, wow, do you look beautiful"

"Please don't embarrass me, dad"

Oh my god. Vulture is Liz' dad?!

"Doesn't she, Pete?"

He turned to look at her.

"Yeah, you look really good."

Vulture pointed the knife at Peter again, obviously pleased with the response.

"Once again, that's the right answer"

This is crazy.. Okay I gotta keep watching.

-

I jumped from building to building, trying to keep up with the car. I could tell from the muffled voices, that Peter and Vulture were talking. And then I heard the name Spiderman come up. I ignored the conversation for the rest off the time and kept following until I got to the dance. Liz had gotten out but Peter wasn't even touching the car door handle.

I listened for their words again

"Are you ready? You walk through those, you forget any of this ever happened, and don't you ever, ever, interfere with my business again. 'Cause if you do, I'll kill you. And everybody you love. I'll kill you dead, that's what I'll do to protect my family, Pete. Do you understand?"

Peter had his head down, not responding at all

"Hey. I just saved your life. Now what do you say?"

He looked up at vulture with a pale face

"..Thank you.."

Vulture nodded and he leaned back slightly

"You're welcome. Now, you go on in there, and you show my daughter a good time. Okay? Just not too good."

He finished with a sick smile as Peter got out of the car. He leaned in one more time but I couldn't hear it. Not that it mattered. I got the information I needed. And I'm taking him down.

The car pulled off as Peter went into the school, full of flashing lights. I waited until it pulled around the school to leave and then I would follow it again. As soon as I jumped off the roof and landed on the ground I felt a powerful punch to my face that propelled me into one of the buses in the lot.

"What..?"

I looked up, seeing the guy from the van.

"Boss told me you were following him. And I got something for your friend too."

And just as he said that someone busted through the door to the exit but they were punched as well, making his spinners fall out of his hands. It was Peter's old suit.

The man walked over towards Peter slowly, fiddling with the glove thing.

"He gave you a choice. And you chose wrong."

"Ah what the hell?"

"Now, what's with the crappy costumes?"

He then turned on the glove and it sparked. Peter got up and started running for his web shooters but the guy punched one of the buses making Peter fly into another one.

"Shit!"

I said and got up. Just as I was pointing my hand at the guy he ran over and punched me in my stomach. I fell to my knees and gasped for air.

"You know I wasn't sure about this thing at first but..."

He turned on the glove again

"Damn."

He punched me again and I flew into a bus. Before I could even recover, the bus jerked and started spinning. It landed and my leg was a little hurt but I quickly made my escape.

He walked over to Peter who was pushing himself away.

"Why'd he send you here?"

"Guess you'll never know"

Just as he was charging the glove, a web shot out and stopped it. I turned my head to see Ned sitting there with a web shooter in his hand.

"Nice shot!"

Peter said and grabbed the web, snatching the glove away from the guy. Once he had it in his hand he stuck the guy to another bus.

I stood up as quickly as I could and rushed over to Ned.

"The Vulture guy is Liz' dad!"

"What?!"

Peter ran over towards us and butted in

"I know we gotta tell Mr. Stark! Call Happy Hogan, he's Mr. Stark's head of security. And uh, get a computer and track my phone for me."

While he was talking I ran quickly and jumped away. I went to the front of the school and Peter was right behind me. It's hard to avoid someone who's doing the same thing as you. Soooo..

"Look, Peter! Let's work together on this one!"

"Uh! Okay!"

We landed on Flash's car and Peter spoke in a deeper voice

"Flash, we need your car and your phone."

"Uh sir tecnic-tech-technically this is my dad's car sir so I can't-"

-

"Can you drive without trying to throw us out of the car!?"

"I don't know how to drive!"

"Just call Ned!"

He was already on the phone with the line just picking up

"Hey! Hey Hey can you hear me?! Ned I need you to track my phone for me! Hey, where are the headlights on this thing! I'm in Flash's car! Okay you're on speaker phone!"

Peter placed the phone down

"You stole Flash's car, awesome."

"Yeah I know that it's awesome- whoa!"

He swerved as he just narrowly missed hitting a bus

"Hey, are you guys okay?"

"I've never really driven before! Only with my aunt in parking lots! This is a huge step up!"

"Ned the headlights! And get Happy on the phone!"

"Oh right I'm working on that.. guy in the chair"

"The headlights!"

"Sorry uh, round knob to the left of the steering wheel turn clockwise."

The headlights came on and everything looked a little clearer on the road

"Okay perfect! Where's my phone now!?"

"Uh.. He stopped at an old industrial park in Brooklyn."

"What?! That makes no sense, I thought he said he was going out of town!"

"Weird. Oh, I reached Mr. Happy, don't think he likes you by the way, it sounded like he was catching a flight. He said he was taking off in nine minutes."

"Taking off?.. It's moving day! It's moving day, Peter! He gonna rob the plane!"

"We gotta stop him!"

He continued driving down the roads until we got to a smaller intersection

"Okay slow down you're getting close. Turn right, turn right!"

"What?!"

Just as Peter was about to shoot a web out of the car, I leaned back in my seat and he pulled the car right. The car had bumped into something and flipped onto its side. Once it stopped, it landed back on its wheels.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Yeah, just try to keep getting through to Happy."

We jumped out of the car and ran towards the building that was next to us. We jumped on top of it and I lifted a part of the roof to get us in. Peter lowered himself and I held onto him as we reached the floor. I could've done it myself with the suit since it helps expand what I can do with my ice but I don't have it..

We looked at all of the tech surrounding us and eventually we made our way to a parking garage. And there he was at some table at the far end of the garage.

"Hey!"

He turned around and looked at us

"Surprised?"

"Oh hey, Pete. And friend. I didn't hear you come in."

"It's over, we've got you."

I said with an echo chasing my voice

"You know, I gotta tell you, Pete. I really really admire your grip. I see why Liz likes you."

We continued walking towards him.

"When you first came to the house, I wasn't sure, I thought 'really?'. But I get it."

"How could you do this to her?"

"To her? I'm not doing anything *to* her, Pete, I'm doing this *for* her."

"Hmm, yeah."

Peter shot a web at his hand and he was stuck to the table. Vulture forced out a laugh and sighed.

"Peter. You're young. Both of you are. You don't understand how the world works."

"Yeah but we understand that selling weapons to criminals is wrong."

"How do you think your buddy Stark, paid for that tower, or any of his little toys? Those people paid those people up there, the rich and the powerful, they can do whatever they want. Guys like us? Us three? They don't care about us. We've built their roads and fight their wars and everything, they don't care about us. We have to pick up after them and we have to eat their table scraps. That's how it is. I know you two know what I'm talking about."

I interrupted his monologue

"Why are you telling us this?"

"'Cause I want you to understand. And.. I needed a little time to get 'er airborne."

He pulled out a remote and then something exploded behind us. I felt the thing flying straight for my back so I flipped over it. It continued following me and Peter around so we avoided it the best we could. Peter jumped on it and then it spun out of control, slamming into a wall.

"I'm sorry Peter and 'Frost'."

The wing suit came back into the building and I dodged it, kicking it upwards.

"What are you talking about? that thing has touched us yet!"

"True, then again.. wasn't really trying to."

It crashed into another pillar and before I could react to the tingling I was getting from above me, I felt some extreme weight slam down onto me...
