Ned

Happy." May whispered, "Happy look."

Happy looked at them sound asleep and smiled. May took a picture and decided to make it her lock screen.

"Invasion of privacy?"

"Like he has any anymore. But I'm his aunt. It's my job."

An hour later they landed. "Wake up sleepy heads we're here!" May said shaking Peter.

He woke up, removed his arm from around MJ and yawned. "Hey MJ, wake up."

She did. They were on a landing pad in front of a huge mansion.

"Woah Happy this place is so big!"

"Yeah, Tony built it after you disappeared and they failed to get the stones from Thanos first. He built it in case anything happened where they need to hide out. He even built a bedroom for you. Now that he's left all his things in your name it now belongs to you."

Peter stood speechless, "I... I wish he was hear."

"I know dear." May said giving him a slight hug and MJ took his hand.

"So much has been happening I don't know what to do anymore. I mean Ned's family whisked him away to a cabin away from the city as a welcome home thing. And he won't know where we are and I... I'm so lost."

MJ kisses his cheek and hugged him.

"That's what I'm here for Peter. Remember what I told you in the jet before London."

"Yeah I know."

"It's ok I'm fine." Peter said shaking it off. MJ squeezes his hand.

"I know this kind of ruins the moment but Michelle, from what I've heard you aren't a very affectionate person."

Oh yeah... that's cause I don't generally have luck with getting close to people from experience. So I don't show that I care much just kind of become a little obsessive."

"Not obsessive just very observant." Peter cut in. MJ looked at him surprised, "I can't believe you remember that."

"Honestly I cant either."

MJ laughed, "Peter is different. He makes me smile and want to be affectionate."

"That's adorable, but let's get inside." Happy told them trying to heard them inside. "Ok so you can stay in this mansion area, explore but if need come there's a secret passageway area that will allow you to go to the underground area. No one will be able to get to it except you. It's a house underground."

"Sweet thanks Happy! What are you going to be doing?" Peter asked.

"I'll do my best to clear your name." Happy said. MJ was wandering around and looking up in awe. She's never been inside one of these places, only seen the outside. Peter turned to his aunt, "It's a good thing you knew about this Spider-Man stuff before all of this.

"I know that's what I was thinking. Haha wow this place is cool."

"Yeah."

"Go get your girlfriend."

"May."

"What she is?!"

Peter rolled his eyes and went to stand next to MJ as she was staring all around. "So Happy said we could explore. There are 3 vantage points for us to get to the underground. The first is you walk through the main entrance and to it, the second is there's a balcony overlooking where we'd enter it and I'd have to jump to it. Then the third is this portal thing Tony built. Just in case we need to get there fast."

MJ nodded and took his hand. "Well do you want to explore?"

"Yeah." He said kissing her shoulder.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me this!" Nick Fury yelped hands raised.

"Well we tried but you hung up." Talos explained.

"You know you have to get to the point."

"Yeah Talos you were rambling."

"What can I say! I do it when I get nervous!" Talos told them.

"So now the whole world thinks that Spider-Man did all the stuff YOU were supposed to watch out for."

"Uh yeah..." Talos said.

"But not all of them!"

"Ok." Fury said. "Does anyone have point on Iron Man's guy."

"You mean that Happy character? I think he's been trying to get a hold of you."

Fury look at his phone, "Oh. Hello?" He answered.

"Nick Fury. Oh I'm so glad I reached you. All of the media is ganging up on Peter after Mysterio's propaganda video. we relocated him to Tony's safe house. What we need help with I was hoping you could do. Is grab the video and dissect it to show that it is not what actually happened. And whatever else you can do along those lines."

"Alright we'll see what we can do. What about the people close to Parker? Where are they?

Well his best friend is at a remote cabin. When he gets back we'll notify him. His aunt and girlfriend are with him though."

"Parker has a girlfriend?" Fury asked surprised.

"Yes. It's new, it happened in London."

"Good for him. Anyway you do what you can, I'll see what I can do."

"Ok."

When Ned came home he went to Peter's house to catch up. He buzzed to get to the apartment with no answer. So he grabbed his phone

N: Peter where are you?

P: Some remote location

N: Why?

P: Haven't you seen the news?

N: I don't look at the news

P: Well you might want to, it'll explain a lot

Ned went onto the news app on his phone and saw the trending headlines running on every news site. He was shocked to say the least. He FaceTimed Peter and he picked up.

"So how do I see you?"

"You see me right now."

"Ha." Ned heard from the background, "Peter you know what I mean."

"You'll have to go to a place with a landing pad on the roof. Tell me which one first then Happy will come get you. You'll need to decide if you want visit me or stay with me. If you decide to visit it won't be too often because we need my location to be a secret."

"Ok. What about Michelle? Or MJ. Where is she?"

Peter flipped the camera and it showed MJ on her phone across from Peter. She put up a peace sign.

"Oh I'm surprised she's not flipping me off."

"Right?" Peter joked.

"What up loser." She said still not taking her eyes on her phone.

"Ok, well let me know about where Happy can get you."

"Will do." He hung up.

"Who was that honey?" Ned's mom asked.

"Peter, I'm going to go over there."

"Is he still living at home?!"

"I was hoping you didn't hear about that yet."

"Honey everyone has. I don't even know what to think everyone is divided."

"Well we've known him for the LONGEST time you know he's trustworthy."

"You're right about that."

"He said I can't go visit him frequently, so I have to choose to live with him or not."

"I'd rather you didn't, Your dad and I would miss you and all but he is your best friend so I get it."

Michelle is there and you know I feel like they'd get too close without me there."

"That's the girl he always talked about?"

"Yeah."

His mom grabbed his hand, "Sweetie. There's a difference between a best friend and a girlfriend. You both love them equally and they both mean the same to you. But no matter what the significant other always has the deeper connection because you're pursuing a relationship through every type of connection, not just the friendship type of that makes sense. You're never not going to be his best friend. And you being there won't stop or delay him making her one as well. Does that make any sense?"

'M"Yeah I guess. So what you're saying is I won't be less important, it's just a different kind of important."

"Yes. I can't quite explain it. But feel free to come and talk to me about it ok?"

"Ok. Thanks mom."

"Of course."

"Now how long will you be staying with Peter?"

"A week maybe less."

"Ok go pack and I'll see you when you're done."

"Ok thanks mom!"

Ned decided to FaceTime Peter again. The phone was answered by MJ who yelled, "Peter I'm answering your phone! Hey Ned."

"He didn't take it into the bathroom?"

"No."

"Huh."

"Yeah I know." MJ said little a small chuckle. "Anyways, what do you want?"

"How long should I stay there."

"I don't know. Peter seems to know those answers. Between you and me though he's barely holding it together. May is helping, but I'm the one keeping him from being too emotional you know? He probably misses you. He's gone through a lot these past couple days so some bro time would be good. I can't do everything." She smirked.

"Wow ok."

"What's up?" Peter asked.

"It's Ned, he wants to know how long he should be here." She said a flipper the camera.

"Dude at least a week." Peter said running his fingers through his hair. MJ smiled softly.

"What?" Peter asked.

"Nothing, you're just cute." She replied and Peter blushed.

"Gag." Ned joked.

"Don't worry Ned we'll do a lot of bro stuff."

"Yeah I can hang with May. She's pretty cool."

"Ok that sounds like a plan!"

Ned hung up the phone and packed, brought his stuff downstairs.

"Mom?"

"Yes."

"Peter said I should be there at least a week."

"Ok just keep me updated!"

"Alright I will!"
