Because you have school. Basically your cover up.

Weeks.
That's what that's been.
I haven't seen any suspicious activity around. Then again I haven't been on patrol.
I haven't brought it up Tony though.
Maybe I will today.
It's the weekend so I guess I have time.
"Y/n are you ok?" Nat sits beside me.
"Y-yeah. I guess- I don't know really."
"What's on your mind?"
I guess it doesn't matter whether I tell her or not.
My hands cup together while just the slightest bit of sweat comes.
Why my throat feels like it's closing up. I don't know.
"I just feel like I should get to go on patrol too."
"Too?"
"Peter." I sigh
"Mhm. Well aren't you supposed to be on the lookout anyways?"
"I am. But I don't know how else I'm supposed to do that unless I go on patrol."
Nat understands my frustration.
" Il bring it up with Tony." She says walking away.

MJ
*Can we meet up?*
Sure, where?
*the park?*
K

Well looks like I'm doing this now.
I walk up into my room and change into different clothes.
:
I ended up at the park ten minutes later.
Mj waiting on the bench and unsurprisingly reading yet another book.
Is there anything else that she does?
"Another book?"
"There's no shame in my game"
I smile at her remark.
There's not a day where I don't like her comments.
"Why did you want to meet up?"
Mj puts her book in her backpack then meets her eyes with mine waiting for my answer.
" I'm thinking about patrolling."
I bite the inside of my cheek waiting.
"Like Spider-Man."
My eyes roll.
"Yeah."
She perks up straight.
"Ok so like at night right?"
"Why at night?"
Mj looks disappointed.
"Because You have school. Basically your cover up. So then at night that's when your job comes into view."
I nod now understanding.
I can't just go out like how I would before.
"What's your suit going to look like?"
Mj had a point.
My suit.
I had one. But that was long gone now.
"I'm not sure about that one right now."
"Couldn't you ask Mr.Stark?"
"I could" I agree to her words. "I'm just not sure whether that's a good idea or not"
Mj contomplaits that too.
"Whatever but until then you can still go out."
Yeah but even still does it really matter.
Yes it does.
It very much does.
"Tonight" I agreed, shaking her hand.
"Now what?" she asks bored
"Honestly I don't know. That was pretty much it."
We both sat there, not talking much.
In the end we just decided to walk to the library. I've been meaning to check out a few books too.
:
"Whatever happened to you when you weren't with the avengers?"
I suck in my breath.
Sure it was a terrible time in my life over in hydra I guess, but I don't talk about it much.
Especially since she does not know at all everything about me.
She can see straight through me though shell no if i'm lying.
And this is why I don't get close to people. They make you weak and they have a leverage on you.
One of the first things you are taught is to not trust anyone.
And I broke that rule.
I hold my books to my chest harder.
We're walking back to the park. It wasn't dark yet but it was getting there. I predicted in an hour or so.
"There's not much to tell really." My voice says otherwise, coming out more quiet than both of us expected.

" Lets just say I was in a very bad place in my life and I had no idea of who I was and what I was doing. And like a saying says "You have to go through the worst to get the best."."

I let out a shaky laugh.

"Whatever idiot came up with that should really rethink his words."

Mj just nodded and we continued to walk back to the park. I hope I didn't say too much or too little.
I may just drive other people away for what i've done.
It would make sense though. Everything you do has repercussions. Which translates to "Karmas a bitch".
And if I lose every ounce of what's been helping me...so be it.
Life couldn't get any worse.
Shit
Never utter those words, you're just asking for something to happen.
The sun slowly started to set and the night was drawing closer.
At this point it was just a matter of time before I just mess something up.
I've done a thousand times before but in different circumstances.
Mj turns to me.
"Goodluck-and wear this" she pulls out a black bandana.
I give her a "what the hell is this" look. She can practically hear the scoff hidden beneath my breath.
"Just wear it. Do you really want to risk getting seen."
I give her an annoyed look but end up taking it.
"You know I hate it when you are right sometimes."
She smiles.
"Yeah we'll get use to it."
Night was already drawn. It wasn't completely dark, but it was enough to say I can go out.
I turn my head to the bigger part of the city.
The lights were now brighter and the cars were honking as usual, people walking all over.
I look up at the city buildings.
I mentally prepared myself for my next move.
Taking it all in I turn to a confident Mj.
"Ok well i'm going to go, and I'll see you at school tomorrow." She walks off.
Gripping the bandana I run off to an alleyway putting on the stupid thing around my lower part of my face.
Pulling my hair back I also proceeded to put on my jacket with a hood.
