It had been a couple of days since my last patrol when I decided to leave as Spider-Man again. My hesitance to go on patrol wasn't only because of the Avengers. Flash has upped his bullying ever since the field trip was announced. He kept on bragging saying he will be given an internship as soon as they see his intelligence. With that though he also felt the need to put me down by saying they wouldn't want to hire a stupid orphan like me. Usually, this wouldn't get to me but thinking if the Avengers did find out my identity they would agree with Flash and look down on me.
As I was ending me Patrol I decided to sit atop my old apartment building I lived in with May. Sitting here always made me feel closer to her remembering the good memories of when she was still alive.
After sitting there for a while I started to hear the sound of thrusters behind me signalling Iron Man was approaching. When he landed he got out of his suit and sat next to me on the edge of the roof after assessing that I was not a threat.
"So Spider-Man why have you decided to perch on this roof? Doesn't seem like there is much crime going on around here."
"Memories."
We sat in silence for a while until Mr Stark decided to break it again. "So why do you do all this?"
"When you can do the things I can but you don't and then the bad things happen they happen because of you. With great power comes great responsibility. I can't let anyone else die because of me."
"That's why you keep your identity a secret." Mr Stark said with realisation.
"It's hurt too many people already. I can't go through that again."
"I will try and get Fury to back off. I know what it is like to lose the ones you care about and try and protect them."
"Thank you, Mr Stark."
"Tony, call me Tony."

The time leading up to the field passed very quickly after my conversation with Tony. I went on a few more patrols where I bumped into Captain America, The Falcon and The Winter Solider. They don't always appear when I go on patrol anymore. It is probably because they are busy with missions but I also think it has something to do with Tony and Nat talking to them.
When I stepped on the bus I walked towards the back where I saw Ned. We started to talk about his new Lego set until Mr Harrington got on the bus and asked for silence. The whole class sat in anticipation waiting to know the location of the field trip. When they heard it they were not disappointed. We were going to Stark Industries. This was both amazing and bad news all in one.
So not to arouse suspicion with my secret identity I will have to hack into Friday. I have read online and heard from Mama Spider that Friday scans your bags for any weapons and other unauthorised items. My suit and sensory equipment, as they were connected to Karen, fit those criteria.
I also don't know if I should contact Mama Spider about this trip though as I probably won't see her on the trip but if I do she might be worried as to why I am there. She knows I can easily hack into Friday and she has set up access to the tower for me in case of an emergency. This might lead her to believe that I am actually in danger which could end in her revealing our relationship and that isn't an outcome I exactly want.
These worries were taken from my mind as we pulled up to the elegant skyscraper. It towered over everyone on the street, it was an intimidating sight to see, to say the least. The inside was just as impressive. Every part of Stark Industries had a very modern feeling to it with high ceilings and a lot of whites and greys. Dangling from the ceiling were pieces of red and gold metal where if you stood in the correct place would form the Iron Man armour.
"Ok everyone wait here while I go to the reception to sign us in and get our tour guide." Mr Harrington said gaining the attention of the class who were looking in amazement at everything around them.
As Mr Harrington walked off I got out my phone to interact with Karen. I sent her a message to hide all Spider-Man related items from Friday. A couple of seconds later she sent a message back confirming they were now hidden from Friday.
When Mr Harrington came back from the reception desk he was with a girl, who looked about college-aged, holding a box full of badges.
"Hello Midtown I'm Mal and I'll be your tour guide today. I work as an intern here at Stark Industries in between my college lectures. Now when I call out your name please collect your badge."
