He called his suit to him and I grabbed a few weapons from the rack, not bothering to don my training suit.

"Come at me, Stark," I snapped.

He flew into the air and began shooting beams at me. I easily dodged and ran at him, jumping into air and crushing one of the joints in his suit. He snarled as his left arm was suddenly frozen in place. He flew at me again, throwing a punch that I dodged, crushing another joint, his right arm this time.

"Fri, give me a protective barrier for the kids," he said, causing me to smirk.

He was unable to aim his beams at me, so he was shooting a small missile, just as I expected he would. When he shot, our audience gasped, Harley crying out in anger and worry. I just dodged and used the explosion as a distraction to take out his boosters.

He clattered to the ground and decided that he needed to get out of the suit to fight me. The suit opened and he climbed out in time to dodge the punch that was swinging towards his face. He threw a punch of his own, but I just grabbed his fist and flipped him over my shoulder.

He groaned from his place in the ground. I aimed a gun at him and said, "Dead. I win, Tony. You owe me a thousand dollars."

He huffed in irritation but nodded. I walked away, not bothering to help him up. "Fri, take down the barrier," I ordered. She did as I said and I was soon tackled by three people.

I laughed as Ned, Amber, and MJ knocked me to the ground. "Never do that again," MJ hissed. "That explosion could've killed you!"

I laughed again as they helped me up and we watched my boyfriend yell at his father for shooting a missile at me. "You idiot!" he shouted. "What if he was too late in dodging, huh? You could've killed him!"

Tony looked down in shame.

Harley's next sentence was said in a deadly calm voice. "I'm telling Natasha."

Tony yelped. "Please, don't!" he pleaded. "I'll do anything!"

Harley just chuckled humorlessly. "Sorry, Dad. You shouldn't have almost killed Peter."

"Excuse me?" a female voice sounded from behind the class. "Who almost killed my son?"

Tony paled as one Natasha Romanov entered the room, coming over to me and inspecting me for injuries.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine, Mom."

"I will only ask you this once, Pyotr," she threatened. "What is Harley talking about?"

I paled as she used my birth name, which my class did not know about. "Tony shot a missile at me during a spar because I targeted the weak points in his suit and disabled his blasters."

She smiled sweetly at me, though there was a dangerous lilt to her voice as she spoke again. "Pyotr, would you please remove your class from the room. I would hate for their clothes to be ruined."

"No! Mom, you are not killing Stark!"

"Why not?"

I shrugged. "He owes me money," I answered. "Besides, he is Harley's dad."

"So? He has another one."

"Mom!"

"Fine," she huffed. "I'll only tell everyone else on the team."

"Killing by way of proxy counts as killing, Ms. Romanov," Amber reminded her politely.

She huffed again and waved her off. "Stark will not die."

"Black Widow is your mom?" Abe interrupted our conversation, clearly not afraid of her killing him unlike some of my classmates.

I grinned. "Yeah. I made this DNA testing thing and compared my DNA with hers. Turns out she had me before beginning her work with Shield. The orphanage couldn't pronounce my name right and decided to simplify it to Peter. I was adopted by Mary and Richard Parker as a baby."

"Wicked," he breathed.

"No way!" Flash shouted. "There's no way you're telling the truth!"

"That is false!" Abe chirped happily. "You're just upset that Peter can beat your ass."

Flash paled at the revelation.

Mom looked over at me with a raised brow. "Now, why does he look scared, Pyotr?"

"Um... no reason?"

"Pyotr, don't lie to your mother," Dad said, coming into the room.

"Sorry, Dad," I muttered.

"The Winter Soldier is your dad?"

"Just how many secrets are you hiding, Peter?"

"Flash bullies Peter!" Cindy chirped, interrupting everyone else's torrent of questions and causing them all to fall silent.

My parents' eyes flashed dangerously. "Pyotr, is what she says true?" Dad asked.

I nodded my head shamefully.

Before anyone else could react, Harley had punched Flash in the face, effectively breaking his nose. "You hurt my boyfriend, you bastard!" he snarled.

Mrs. Tuss stepped in, her eyes flashing. Flash looked to her like she was his saving grace, but that face quickly fell when she said, "Mr. Thompson, I am very disappointed in you! I will be calling your father about this!" She turned to my parents. "He will be properly punished, I assure you."

I sighed in relief as my parents nodded stiffly, stepping back. I turned to my classmates, who were staring at me expectantly, waiting for answers.

"Tony, I'm going to get some NDAs from my office and then I'm commandeering the conference room, thanks," I said before walking out of the room with my class in tow. My parents followed close behind, leaving Harley to continue to scold Tony.
