I'm Always A Text Away -- Peter Parker Texting Story

one

#I wanted to mention that Spider-Man doesn't go out anymore (I think he did in the actual movie, but for plot reasons, he doesn't...but Peter still has his suit)

THE MUSIC PAUSED SUDDENLY AND Tony Stark frowned, looking up at his ceiling. 

"Friday?" he asked. 

"Sir, you have received a message from an unknown number," Friday said, voice cool and composed. "I thought I'd let you know in case it's something important." 

"Oh, thanks Fri," said Tony, striding across the room to pick up his Stark phone. He pulled up his notifications and frowned as he read the last one, which was sent around a minute ago.

unknown 

Hi, my name is Peter Parker. You don't know me, but there's a chance you knew of me, three months ago. See, what happened is quite strange, but everyone has forgotten me. My friends, my teachers, my school...there is no record of me anywhere, and it's really making my life hell.  

My name might be unrecognizable now, but three months ago, my name was all over the news. I was a vigilante called Spider-Man—but you probably don't remember him either, and long story short, my identity was revealed.

This may be strange to you, and I'm sorry about that. But I'm also tired of doing this alone. No one I knew before knows me now, and they can't remember me. Think of it as a world-threatening danger. 

You don't know me, by the way. I texted a random number. 

Tony blinked at the message. "Scam messages are getting weirder these days," he mused to himself. "Hey, Fri?" 

"Yes?" Friday replied instantly. 

"Search for a Peter Parker, please?"

"Request running." Friday was silent. "No matches for Peter Parker." 

Tony frowned, staring at his phone. "Might really be a scam," he said to himself.  

"Sir, I suggest searching for Spider-Man," Friday suggested. 

Tony sighed. "Go do that," he said. He knew there was no such thing as Spider-Man; if there was a vigilante running around, the news would be pouncing over that fact. 

"Request running..." 

Tony waited, but Friday didn't continue. After a couple seconds, he said, "Friday?"

"Sir, there's something blocking me from accessing these files." 

"What?" His head jerked up toward one of his cameras in the corner of his lab.

"I'm not sure what this is." 

Tony sat down at his desk, turning his computer on. He saw a mug of cold coffee and picked it up, chugging it down. "Transfer code to my computer, please." 

"Of course. Transferred." 

He looked over the code and immediately set to work, fingers flying across the keyboard. "Okay..." he murmured to himself. He pressed the enter key. 

Request running...

Two seconds later, his screen refreshed, and thousands and thousands of links and articles and websites flooded his screen. 

His eyes widened, his mouth agape as he stared at the most recent article, which had been posted three months ago. 

He read the headlines, his confusion growing more and more as he went through them: 

Spider-Man's Identity Revealed 

Spider-Man...Sixteen-Year-Old Boy?? 

Queens' Famous Webslinger is a High-School Student 

Who Is Peter Parker? 

"Friday," Tony said slowly. "What am I looking at?" 

"Well, it looks like you're looking at files on Spider-Man, sir," Friday said nonchalantly. 

"Really?" Tony glared up at the ceiling. "I had no idea!" 

"Then why did you ask?" 

Tony shook his head before picking up his phone, now knowing that whoever this kid was, this Peter Parker...he wasn't lying. This message hadn't been a scam. 

Tony Stark

Hello, Peter Parker 

How did the world forget about you? 

read 1:43 a.m. 

Words: 704

Well, Tony knows that Peter exists and that Peter was Spider-Man.

You might be asking why Peter's personal information hadn't been found but Spider-Man's was found by Friday. Well, logically (or like what I think is logical), there aren't much things on Peter on the internet. Erasing his personal files like his birth certificate and whatnot was easy, but erasing a million articles about Spider-Man and him being Spider-Man was harder, so it was blocked by magic :O 

I hope that makes sense? 

I'm also going to try my best to schedule one chapter per day, so you are most likely getting another chapter tomorrow too :) 

Anyway, remember to comment and vote!
