Back to school
- Welcome everyone. The reason I hold a press is to announce something. _ Tony starts the press like a professional at this he is. - As you may know about Jzun Samanra Whitneys and James Buchanan Whitneys aka Rabbitter and Winter Soldier, the two Avengers who also best friends with Captain America Steven Grant Rogers. Now I'll welcome their long lost youngest brother, the one we'll thought had dead like his brothers but he still alive! He had been frost in the ice like Captain himself. Let's welcome- _ The class again, widen in shock. There's no way. No way, right? No way Peter is that Peter?!
- PETER BENJAMIN WHITNEYS! _ Peter comes out, no more sobbing and little like he is when he's with his brothers. Just confidence. Flash now even paler then earlier. He's been bullied and dead named two avenger's brother! No wonder they acted like that!
- Erm... Hello, I'm Peter Whitneys. The reason I still living until now is because... I'm Spider-man. _ Then he leaves after he reveals his identity in the most Iron-man way. The Midtown class can't control their shock anymore. Peter, their classmate, not only older than their teacher but also is the one who save them in DC and is their favourite hero. Flash can't take this shock anymore. He's... He's his hero and he-he...
- Okay, now question. _ Jen takes the place and talks to the paparazzi since they all agree he'll be the one who answers the most for the three. - You.
- Hi, I'm Melissa from the New York Times. How long have you meet your brother back?
- One year ago. When we're just got out of the Hydra.
- I'm Jacob from The News. How long has he been up?
- He had woken up 3 years ago.
- Did he homeless back then?
- No, he was offered a home, foods and clothes before we found him and took him in to live with us.
- This is Shana from Everyday Fun News. Did he go to school?
- Yes, his classmates are actually here so I won't tell the school name.
- Edgar from News News News. Do you think he is capable to become Spider-man? He looks really skinny though.
- Have you ever see a 15-year-old skinny boy take the weapons and fight at the front row of the war? Yes, that was our Peter who have to fought like that.
- Why did you let him? Aren't you his brother?
- We got caught by Hydra while Steve got froze in the ice. After the war ended our Peter did get in the ice too. And that was two months later that day. _ Jen patiently answers all the question. - End I won't answer anymore. End of my present.
Then the press end. Peter makes his way back to the penthouse and wrapped up in his brother arms.
- Kiss... _ Peter pouts childishly. Jen chuckles then put a soft kiss on Peter's lips while James put on his cheek. Peter smiles satisfied and starts his rubbing session again. He starts purring and playing with their rings, too. They have found out that Peter will purr when he relaxed and secured between who he loves. And they love that adorable sound his baby brother made.
Everyone just smiles at that.
Peter thinks his life like that is really good right now.
=====
Monday is very chaos. He has to ask Jen to take him to school with his teleport to avoid paparazzi. Everyone eyes widen at the sight the Rabbitter steps out from a dark blue and brown smoke then the head of Peter appear after him, shyly waves at the class.
- Hi. _ He smiles.
- Hi Peter. _ Ned waves back at him. He beamed. - Hey, bro. _ Peter runs to hugs Ned.
- Hi Ned, MJ. _ Jen smiles at that scene. - Focus on your lesson ok? Don't sleep in class. You heard me, no more sleep in class. _ Jen walks to Peter, kneels down on his knee, looks right to his eyes. - Okay, I'll try... At least. _ Peter nods. Jen chuckles at that.
- Be safe baby boy. I'll pick you up later. Just stay in class. You too, MJ, Ned, tonight we have lasagna with meatballs. James cooks. _ Ned beamed excitedly while MJ smirks, James’ cook is really good. Best cook of three while Jen is the best baker.
- Desert? _ Peter hugs his brother, playing with his rings on his finger, asks.
- Cookie and ice-cream. You choose the flavor. _ Peter smiles wider. - Chocolate! _ Jen nods and kisses Peter's cheek. - See you later Arana, Ned, MJ. _ And he disappears back to the smoke.
The class breaks in chaos. Even though they all know but it still shock.
- Is he always like that with you?!
- Now you asking Peter really does look a lot like them
- Oh my god is that really the Rabbitter?!
- Oh my god oh my god
- He just also asks MJ and Ned to stay at the Stark Industries tower to have dinner with The AVENGERS. Oh my god!
- Look at Flash, being banned from the Stark Industries. He is really lucky not have been banned from all the good college. He really talked to Peter really bad.
- Is that why the Avenger were so angry at him?
- Yeah, I mean, Spider-man is the youngest Avenger.
- Wait... Peter is Spider-man and he is not that young...
- Oh right... Spider-man is not the youngest one... Right.
Peter groans loudly at all the noise surround him. Thanks to Thor he listens to Tony about putting his blocked sound earbuds on.
- Shut up will you? _ He tells the class. The class immediately quiet. - Thank you. _ He takes his seat. Ned rambling excitedly but in quiet tones. His best friend is the best.
- Dude! Dinner with your avengers’ family!
- I know right? Lasagna and meatballs, made by Loup, oh I misses it soooo muchh. I haven't eaten it since he left me. Last one year we were so busy and just have taken out! _ Peter dreamingly remember old days.
- Uhm Peter?
- Yes Cindy?
- Can I ask you some question?
- Yes, go on.
- Can you tell us a bit about your past? You can skip every detail that you hate of course. _ Cindy shyly asks. Quickly reassure hoping Peter isn't too uncomfortable.
- Of course! Ned and MJ isn't knowing that much about my past, either. Since they _ He quotes. - always said "You're you now. We don't care your past." So I guess I can tell you a bit. Sit down, please, don't stand.
Mr. Harrington also joins to group to hear. Peter's past really didn't have that much info, like Jen, it just said that they were James Buchanan Whitneys brothers. Since everything is all related to Captain America Steve Rogers.
- Well I don't know much about Lapin's past since he's older than me so you can ask him next time. Loup’s past is almost got all in the museum. _ The class chuckle at that. _ So, I was born in August 10th, 1929. My mom died right after birth and my father... He died almost 8 months earlier. My oldest brother, Lapin, who was almost 17 that time, was working with Howard Stark and he was in medic team. Loup, Steve and Steve's mother, Sarah Rogers, took care of me. Lapin is really smart; he never went to school. He learned everything from looking at them and when he's 7, Howard asked to helped him in a medic project and he got into military, at the age of 7! And become a pharmacist and a nurse. Because of that, Loup learned how to cook, Lapin was the only one who worked so we couldn't afford anything nice. You know, war and all. But I was good, fulled and warmed and loved by my brothers. Who always tried their best to let me have my best chance. He bought us our bonding rings with his very first salary. He ordered it. It's the only rings in the world. _ Peter takes it out of his neck, his friends eyes widen. Then he puts it back. - He was officially joined the front role when he was 19, a Major! Front role for battle, of course. He was in the front role for medic and research with Howard ever since he's 10. So that was not very new. When he left, he left a earnful of cashes for us to live for 1 years! He had nearly over-worked himself most of the time that Howard sometimes raised a salary up a bit. Then my other brother, Loup and his best childhood friend, Steve, joins the military too. I was so scared that time, Lapin had left us... I didn't want to be alone again... But he... But they made a promise on our rings... And us will never break a promise... Then he and Steve left, too... I was... Alone... Sad... When Howard came to found me and asked me for a job. I accepted. Then I got this spider power and joined the war. I got froze like Steve and waked up in 2014, I tried to learned to cultural before I attended here, for further learning. 2 years later, I met my brothers and Steve, again. I-I was s-so happy and emotional. _ Peter cries, softly and smiles. Everyone sympathy with him, even Flash. - Then we be together again. Happy ending, right? _ They quickly return to their lesson. Mr. Harrington goes back to his desk, too.
Even though he promises his brother that he won't fall asleep but he can't help himself. He had learned it all since his older brothers are geniuses(?). So he falls asleep, Mr. Harrington is a bit irritated but he doesn't dared wake him up.
- P-Peter? _ Betty asks, sitting next to Peter in the canteen.
- Yes? _ He turns.
- Well, look like everyone is still have questions for Whitneys. So today we will let you ask him then. _ MJ says then go sits down next to him and Ned.
- What is it feel like when you wake up? _ Abe asks.
- Strange, unfamiliar, scared.
- Why do you go to school?
- To learn?
- B-But you know all...
- Yeah? To be like a normal teenager, the thing that I have missed ever since I was a child.
- Oh...
- Why do you let Flash bullied you?
- If don't he will find another victim, I can take it, it'll help the one who can't be safe.
- Oh...
- Oh right, I should get going and buy some lunch. I forgot to take with me- _ Peter is trying to stand up.
- Baby Arana, you forgot your lunch. _ Jen appear in the smoke, hand the lunch to Peter then disappear. - Have fun.
- Thanks Lapin. _ He takes the lunch box then sits down and taste it. Good as always. It seems like Jen is the one who prepare his lunch today. He literally ignores all the noise coming from everywhere, just like MJ. Ned is still a bit star stuck though.
- Wait... Is that the Rabbitter?!
- He just appear to give Whitneys lunch?!
- So the press is true?
- Whitneys really is their brother?!
- If that's true then he's Spider-man?!
And he smiles and refuses all the friend requests coming from the other. He feels a bit disgust since nobody care about him until knowing his secret identity and his brother.
- Whitneys, I wonder if we can-
- No, I'm sorry but we can't.
- Whitneys, I wanna ask if you wanna-
- No, thank you.
- Whitneys-
- Whitneys-
- I'll go now. I'm sorry. Let's go Ned, MJ. _ He abruptly standing, calling his friend and walking away. His friends do the same, too.
- Wait, Whitneys- _ The crowd wanting to chasing after them but Peter is faster. They quickly go to their class.
=====
- Alright everyone. Settle down. _ Mr. Harrington calls from his seat at the gym, where the Midtown Decathlon team are. He is going to start the training, then-
- Arana, I'm here to pick you up. _ Jen comes out from the smoke, looks slightly surprises at the team.
- Are you accidentally or purposingly forget that I have practice today huh Lapin? _ Peter glares at his brother who smile not to innocent.
- Aw baby, we promise we just forget a bit. _ James’ voice call out playfully from the smoke.
- No shit, like hell I'm believe you guys. _ Peter scoffs.
- But we're already here, so we'll stay and after we can go jogging and having some snack. How's that? _ Jen and James offer.
- Deal. _ Peter smirk. Snack? Never let that offer being held up.
- S-So since your brother are here. Can you continue answer the group? Look like they still have a lot of questions. _ Mr. Harrington asked.
- Sure. _ The three brothers nod.
