Chapter 8
A little while later Stacy came out of Peter's private lab and called them over
“So the rules for the competition were pretty lax, they just had to make something that could help the environment in any way possible, so try to judge on the potential of their idea,” Stacy informed them while they were outside.
She opened the door where Peter saw a whole bunch of various inventions laid out on a table with a small plaque on what it was used for.
Peter and Harley slowly made their way through them. Most were just simple ideas but would at least help the environment for a little bit. Peter's favourite one was the mini A. I Recycling bin that automatically sorts rubbish chucked in it.
Peter loved the idea and so it would seem did Harley as he kept muttering questions to himself about how much it would cost to get something like this in busy areas like sports arenas and Peter had to agree they both talked and decided that group was to be the winner.
“The winner of the competition is the A. I bin sorter!” Peter and Harley announced which was immediately responded to with cheers from Betty, MJ, and Ned.
Stacy handed out their prize ( a twenty-dollar gift card to any Stark Industries product) and got their information so she could contact them if Stark Industries used their idea so they could be credited for the idea.
“Right Midtown, we need to get moving to stay on schedule. Our next stop is the chemistry labs, and after that, we’ll have lunch.” the tour guide Shelly announced as the group migrated to the elevator. Both Flash and Mr Harrington looked pissed off and were trying to get to Peter but thought better of it and followed Shelly. Time for the next part of the plan.
So far all Peters doing is making sure he's seen but at least a few students so they'll gossip and the news that Peters has been there gets to Mr Harrington's ears kind of like physiological mind games.
Now he’ll up the ante by being seen with important people who Peter does need to talk to but there is an added benefit to it now stage three will occur tomorrow as Midtown is staying the night so Peter will too, of course, he will he lives here part-time but they don't know that.
All peter can hope for is that none of his very much loved extended family ( The Avengers) does not wreak his well-crafted plan.

“Right Harley, Pepper is on her way so I'll be on mine. Make sure the garden mission is ready please” Peter says while he's walking to the elevator that just arrived courtesy of FRIDAY “Of course darling.” Harley replies with a smirk and a salute.
The smirk has Peter screaming internally at him and his stupid smirk he stupid hair ugh he's so dreamy and it's distracting Peter. He shakes his head out of it, focusing on the next step to have lunch with Pepper in the middle of the cafeteria for all to see.
