Peter's point of view-
Some days are naturally good.
Even if there's nothing exceptionally good sometimes it's just good because it's peaceful and nothing's happening around you.
This was definitely not one of the day.
It was monday, ofcourse.
I knew I had to go to the S.I. today.
And I was beyond excited even though a little scared because of the past events.
But having a sensory overload on this day is extreme.
Usually when I have sensory overloads, once or twice a month, I just lock myself out. No talking to anyone. That doesn't help because I can still hear everything and smell everything and just feel everything.
It isn't usually this bad but today started off with negative comments with Flash then in classroom I cringed so hard at the sound of chalk and pencil.
It was tolerable. But at lunch it just got worse, I could smell everything. Which was... more than gross.
Why did this have to happen today?
It's not fair.
"Dude you okay?" Ned asks while I try not to wince from the loud voice.
"Yep. Totally fine." I say trying to keep my voice normal.
The rest of lunch goes by me trying not to puke at the smells and everything happening in there. Maybe I should postpone going into S.I. today. Or I will probably be insane by then.
I text the one and only Tony Stark.
sorry mr. stark i cant come today not feeling well
Too informal?
Too bad I don't care.
He might think I'm making up lies to avoid but man, I would give anything anything to go into Tony's lab where he creates so many techs. I love science. Everything about it.
He replies fast. Kinda fast for a seemingly busy billianare.
Are you alright?
I was expecting a "okay" to be honest. So, I didn't know what to say. I would say sick but like don't everyone know spiders don't get sick? Wait, do spiders get sick? Has anyone observed a real spider?? Does it get sick? I think so though they're also..alive?
Okay, way off track, Parker.
He already knows I'm Spiderman so it's alright to say sensory overload. Hopefully he'll leave the topic there. I shoot back a text.
yep just a little sensory overload
Yeah, little. I scoff at myself. But good job saying that instead of saying "im fine"
What I expect is another text saying "okay" Finally. But I didn't expect the incoming call ringing on my phone from him. I almost hung up but that would be me avoiding me which I want to, kind of? sort of? nevermind. I just pick up the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Stark." I approach my locker and keep my books preparing to go home. I just wanted quiet.
"Yeah so funny thing, I'm currently in front of your school in my car so just get in." Tony so casually throws those words like they didn't just surprise me.
"You're what?" I shriek.
"I was already on my way before that text, okay." He sighs. "Let's just talk in the car." He addes before hanging up.
I regret coming to school now.
Really bad.
How bad will I embarass myself in front of him? On the scale of 1 to 10? I'm betting on 13.
I get out of school trying to not get effected by all the noise around me. God, teenagers are loud.
Even though I'm one of them.
I see his car and I get in, hesitating.
"Hi, Mr. Parker." Tony greets me and I nod.
"Hey."
"So what exactly do you mean by sensory overload?" He asks closing the door and the loud noise makes me wince back and he looks at me weirdly. Probably trying to figure out what's happening.
"Uh it's where my senses are dialed up to 11. Like everything's magnified." I say. He looks at me expecting more so I add," I can hear every conversation happening upto like I dunno 2 or 3 miles. Same goes for smelling everything. My head hurts physically from that."
"And how long does that last?" He questions.
"Uh it's like once or twice a month? it'll be okay by tomorrow I'm sure." I explain.
"Oh."
"Yep. So I don't think I can stand for more than half an hour without the headache worsening so I can go home I guess?" I shrug.
"Does it get better when you go home?"
"Not really. But the bed helps."
"You're coming to S.I. we'll figure out something." He nods like he's thinking to himself.
"Huh?" I frown.
This doesn't feel like internship. Does he takes every intern of his to S.I. to figure out when they're sick?
