54 Chapter 53

The week was a slow one, I mostly spent my time dealing with homework and bad guys on the street. A couple of times I help swing injured people to the hospital if the ambulance couldn't get there on time. I took extra care with people like that, often times not even swinging on my webs.

And on Friday I sat down with Ben and May and watched the Stark Expo Live. The camera faced the stage and I saw the roof open up and Tony land in the center in full gear. He smiled, gave his speech, made his jokes.

And just like that, Iron Man 2 had begun.

Chapter 53: Making it to the Big Time

Monaco happened on Sunday. I saw Whiplash take on Tony and get knocked out. And I heard about the killer birthday party he threw for himself, even though it wasn't actually his birthday. He acted like a man who had a few days to live, since he didn't know otherwise.

On Monday my homeroom told us the entire class would be going to the Stark expo on Friday for a field trip. Everyone was happy, me? I knew I was fucked.

That entire school week I was a wreck. I spent most of my time in the Baxter building creating weapons I could use to subdue the drone army that I knew was going to be unleashed upon the people.

I created a EMP gun so powerful it could fire their systems, a new batch of concrete webbing twice as strong as my last batch and just in case I also had Johnny on Speed dial. He didn't know why, but promised to come if I really needed him.

On Friday I came to school wearing my black muscle shirt and tights under my normal high school attire. I had my Spider-man jacket and web shooters inside a hidden compartment in my bag, just in case.

Class went by as usual, and after school ended we all gathered into a school bus with Mr. Dunkan, our English teacher, to set off for the expo.

I sat next to Felicia, she looked at me and huffed, "nervous?"

"Yes," I didn't bother denying it, she was much to observant for that.

"Why?"

"Because It's a Stark expo. Have you seen what's happened to him lately? The guys out of hand. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the day the suits of armour became sentient and started attacking everyone."

"Damn Parker that's dark," Flash laughed, "and you said you weren't funny. There's no way that can happen!"

I rolled my eyes, "better safe than sorry Flash." I felt my back pack, the weapons I made were there. Sue was really concerned I was using Baxter time to make weapons, but after explained to her what I was afraid off she was more understanding, though a little concerned about my paranoia.

We reached the expo and got off. We got a guide to take up through the expo, each room at a time. And then we got to the main attraction. An exclusive press release by Hammer Tech in the Stark Expo main auditorium.

We were seated near the back with the VIP's taking up the front few rows. I could almost feel the trap being laid out. I can imagine the drones coming out of the stage and killing so many people. I needed to do something.

I got up from my seat and tried to sneak away.

"Yo Parker! Where do you think you're going?" Flash asked drawing everyone's attention to me.

"Bathroom," I replied.

"What? Hell no man, sit down!"

"Do you want me to pee myself Flash?" I asked not bothering about the embarrassing notions the line carried.

"I-ah," Flash stammeered.

"Peter I really must insist you sit down, this is a very exclusive event I don't think they'll even allow you to leave," the teacher told me as slowly I was forced to sit down.

"You aren't' actually going to piss yourself are you?" Felecia asked.

"No," I grumbled.

MJ sat down besides me, "hey, are you okay? You really don't sound too good."

"I'm fine, just nerves I guess," I shrugged.

"Alright...if you're sure."

Soon the event began with Justice Hammer taking center stage. He gave a long winded speech about how his dick was bigger than Tony's or something like that. And then, he introduced them, the Hammer Drones.

Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines, each unit had eight drones. And then he brought out the War Machine unit. Everyone cheered at the patriotic activities, everyone, except me.

And then suddenly, Iron man came flying in and people lost their shit. They cheered for him, Tony was whispering something to Rhodes and suddenly all hell broke lose.

Tony took to the skies and the air force drones along with the War Machine unit followed him. The glass ceiling shattered raining glass on everyone.

"Get down!" I yelled as I grabbed Felecia and MJ and pushed them down, covering them with my back. The glass rained down hard, I could hear people yelling pain. Luckily for me, my bag took the sharp edges into it's stuffing.

I got up and saw the rest of the drones slowly make their way down the platform and into the crowd. They didn't seem to be focused on killing people, that was good. But in their fight with Tony people are bound to get hurt.

I looked around, "is everyone alright?!"

"I-I think so," Harry whispered.

"Mr. Dunkan is hurt!" someone cried out.

I cursed, out teacher had gotten a shard of glass stuck into his back, he was on the ground withering in pain. Liz was by his side holding him, tears running down her face.

"What happened?" MJ was horrified.

"He tried to shield me!" Liz was crying, "he saved me!"

They looked borken, horredied even. But now wasn't the time for this, I knew that. I turned to Flash, "Flash, carry him."
