Twisted in Ties (Loki x OC)

Chapter 65

Peter's POV

Man, that was crazy! I couldn't believe Izetta Stark had actually fought with me! She was so cool! I wanted to learn everything she was ready to teach me. I was so excited for our next session and this mission was going to be amazing! I was so happy that she was putting her trust in me. I finally have my chance!

I got dressed to head out with Aunt May, but I was very distracted by everything running through my head. I left with her as she took us out to eat. As we walked inside, I still felt slightly giddy. I really wanted to impress Izetta and make her and Mr. Stark proud. I can do this. I know I can!

Izetta's POV

The next day, I started researching anything I could about weapons that were being sold around underground. I was lucky that Friday could help me with my digging. Of course, the trails always stopped almost immediately. I was getting nowhere with a supplier. It was frustrating, but it was also a little thrilling. Guess we'll have to do it old school.

After a while of nothing, I decided to take a break. I took a shower to clean up a bit and then I had some lunch. After that, I decided I had to see if Peter knew anything about the activity in New York. He was a bit more familiar with it after all. 

I headed out, deciding that I would head to his school. I needed to make sure that he would be free. If he was busy then it would have to wait, but I knew I had to get a hold of him. Luckily, I also knew he was in gym class at the moment. The class was also almost over. Hopefully, he would answer.

"Friday, call Peter. Make sure the call is protected though, kay?"

"Yes, Miss Izetta." The phone was ringing for a moment before he picked up.

"Hello? Uh, Ms. Stark? Oh, uh wait, sorry. I meant Izetta. I forgot." I chuckled.

"It's alright, Peter. Listen, I need to talk to you about something."

"Uh...this about the internship?" I paused. Must be in a public area. Better pick my words carefully.

"Yeah. Listen, I was curious if you were free tonight. We have some things to discuss about our current project."

"Uh, actually I'm...kinda going to a party tonight." I paused.

"Oh? Sounds fun. Well, I guess one night is alright. Just make sure you call me if anything changes, okay? I'll be around and I'll be in touch."

"Uh, yeah! Sounds good! Hey, um, I have a question, actually."

"What's that?"

"You maybe wanna...swing by?" I paused.

"Um...Peter, I'm sorry, but I don't think that's a good idea. I do still have work to do, but don't take it as I don't want to. I just can't. Listen, you go and have fun. Take it as a break for tonight. You're still fifteen. Don't waste it, alright?"

"Okay. If you say so. But it's really alright?"

"Yeah! Of course! Go ahead! I'll talk to you later, kay? But please leave if there are drinks, okay? That's my only rule. Well...that and drugs. Promise?"

"Uh, Izetta, you're kinda embarrassing me," He whispered. I paused as I heard chuckling in the background.

"Do you have me on speaker?"

"No!"

"Oh my God, you do."

"No, no, no!"

"I see why you wanted me to come now. Who's listening~? Is it a girl~?"
