Opening Introduction
It was a warm autumn afternoon, and Peter was fidgeting in his seat, waiting for the final few minutes of his last class for the day, Spanish. He had nothing against the class itself, it was simply that like every teenager, the end of the school day was one of the most anticipated moments of the day.
Today, however, his excitement was much more present than typical. The reason? Tonight, the first play of Midtown High’s Musical Marathon. Almost half of the school was participating probably due to having the plays they were showing being modern Broadway hits that the student body was able to vote for.
Peter also happened to be a huge theater nerd, which surprisingly few people knew. Along with Ned and Michelle, he was able to land himself a few big roles in the play. He had also invited all of the Avengers along with his Aunt May to see the performance since he lived with them for a portion of the week. Natasha has even helped him a little with one of his characters for the third musical they would be performing, Heathers.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Peter and Ned rushed over to the Auditorium to set up for the play. They had a lot to prepare for tonight.

At 5:45, the Avengers Tower was bustling with activity. Pepper entered the Common Room, only to find the majority of the team still in disarray for their departure.
“You’d think the World’s Mightiest Heroes would be more prepared for a school play.” She stated with a hint of amusement.
Tony, Steve, Natasha, Hope, and Bruce were irritatedly waiting by the hallway from which Pepper just entered the room, while the rest of the team proceeded to reduce the room to shambles.
“HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HEARING AIDS?”
“Over here dumbass!”
“I forgot my phone!!!”
“Should I bring a jacket?”
“Does Peter’s school have a no-knives policy?”
“LOKI NO!”
“SAM GET OFF ME YOU ASSHOLE!”
“Where are we going again??”
“CAN WE BRING SNACKS?”
Pepper felt her patience wear through. Rolling her eyes, she yelled.
“Everyone be quiet! Sam, give Bucky his arm back. Wanda your phone is on the counter, so are Clint’s hearing aids. Scott, I’m sure the school will have snacks so no. And Thor, Loki, no weapons in the building.”
The rest of the team nodded and gathered their things. None of them wanted to face an angry Pepper Potts. Tony smirked.
"Is everyone ready to go finally?"
The group nodded, before entering the elevator, and driving down to the high school in question. Once they had arrived, they flipped through the brochures they were given regarding the cast of the play, and grabbed some snacks. After about thirty minutes of waiting, the lights in the room dimmed, and the audience quieted down as a short haired brunette with glasses entered the stage.
“Hello and welcome everybody! I’m Ms. Davis, Midtown High’s Literature teacher and the head of Theatre Club. Before the first musical of this week begins, we would like to thank our lovely PTA, principal and Mr. Tony Stark himself for helping to get this project funded and completed. We would also like to thank our students for all the hard work they put in.” The woman paused, before speaking again. “Now, without furher ado, give it up for Midtown High’s presentation of the Broadway hit musical Be More Chill!”
