Chapter 13

Athena woke up and turned off her alarm. With a groan she rolled over and looked at the time. As always, it was 6:30 in the morning and she had to get ready to go to school. Athena stood up and started to get ready for the day. Today was the day she had to reveal herself as an undercover spy to Peter. She wasn't exactly looking forward to it, but she knew she had too.

 Athena walked out of her room with her backpack in hand and went into the kitchen to grabbed some breakfast. Once she was pleased with what she grabbed, she walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the elevator. She pressed the down button and waited patiently for the elevator to arrive. 

Within seconds the elevator arrived to her floor and the doors opened. She walked into the elevator and pressed the main floor button. She waited patiently as annoying elevator music played.

The elevator stopped and the doors opened and Athena quickly exited the elevator. She walked right out of the door and saw Happy's car in front of the doors. Athena got into the back of the SUV and Happy drove off as Athena began to eat her breakfast. "How's your morning been, Mr. Hogan?" Athena asked.

Happy seemed a bit taken back by the question. "It's been busy, but good," Happy said in the same monotoned voice as before. "That's good," Athena said and she opened her backpack to double check that she had finished all the homework that was due today. Once she was sure that she didn't miss anything, she grabbed a book and began reading it.

Athena arrived to school, the car came to a stop and Athena got out of the car. Athena thanked Happy and walked up to the school. She opened the door and walked down the hall until she arrived to her locker. She grabbed a few of her books and placed them into the locker. She closed the door and as she did she saw Peter a few lockers down the hall. 

She didn't want to give herself away yet. She wanted to actually build a friendship with Peter that isn't forced, but she doesn't have that option anymore. 

Athena walked away from her locker. As she walked down the hall she felt a pair of eyes on her. Athena ignored whoever it was and walked into her homeroom classroom. She sat down in her usual seat and listened to the daily announcements.

*Time Skip to Lunch*

Athena walked to the empty table that MJ usually sat at with a tray in her hands. "Hey, MJ," Athena said and sat down in front of her. "Hi, Athena," MJ said, not looking up from her book. Athena started to eat her food and noticed Peter and Ned sitting at the end of the table once again. Athena tried to ignore them the best she could, so she played off looking at them. She made it look like she was just looking through her bag. As she moved things around, she noticed that she still had the weapon in her bag.

Athena sighed and she knew she had to talk to Peter about it later. Once again she felt eyes on her, so this time she looked up and saw Peter and Ned looking at her. Once they notice Athena saw them, they quickly looked away.

Athena then just started a conversation with MJ.

*After School*

Athena walked out of the school and as she did she saw Peter. Athena sighed and walked up to him. He noticed her and met her halfway. "Tony told me who you are," Peter said.

"I figured," Athena said and she decided to grab the weapon out of her bag. "Where did you get that?" Peter asked.

"I may have stolen it. Anyway. There was a man yesterday in a white van selling this. He said it was made out of an Ultron arms," Athena said and Peter nodded along. "And you were able to just take it?" Peter asked.

"I used my powers to do it. Here," Athena said as she handed him the purple orb looking thing. Peter looked over the thing then handed it back to her. "What is it?" Peter asked and Athena shrugged as she placed the orb back into her bag.

"Hey, Athena!" Athena heard from behind her. Athena turned around and saw Liz walking up to her. "You're coming to my party on Thursday, right?" She asked.

"Yeah," Athena replied as Liz handed her a piece of paper. "That's my phone number so I can text you the address," Liz said and Athena smiled at her. "Thank you," Athena said and Liz walked off right as Happy's car drove up. She turned to Peter. "I have to go," Athena said.

Athena walking down the steps and got into the car. "Can you take me to the field base in Manhattan?" Athena asked.

"Yes," Happy said and he drove away from the school. Athena needed to do a check in for reports and she wanted to see if Natasha remembered her yet. 

--

Athena arrived to the field base and she got out of the car quickly. "When do you want me to come back?" Happy asked.

"In an hour," Athena said and Happy nodded. "Alright," Happy said and Athena closed the door and  walked towards the front door. She walked inside and went to the lunch room first. She wanted to get a snack, but she also wanted to see if Natasha was in there.

She walked in and saw Clint and Natasha sitting at a table. Athena grabbed an apple and walked over to them. "Hey, kid. How's it going?" Clint asked.

"Good. I mean, Fury blew my cover, but it's whatever," Athena said and Clint nodded. "Yeah, he doesn't really do that unless he knows it's safe," Clint stated.

"I know," Athena said and she looked over at Natasha. She had no look of recognition or anything. It disappointed Athena, but she pushed past it. "Do you know why?" Clint asked.

"Yeah. Apparently I have to help Peter with some sort of villain," Athena said and Natasha's phone began to ring. Natasha stood and answered the call as she walked away from the two of them. "Has she shown any signs of remembering?" Athena asked.

"No, I'll call you if she does," Clint said and Athena nodded. "Okay. I gotta go talk to Fury, real quick. I'll talk to you later," Athena said and Clint nodded. Athena walked out of the lunch room and to Fury's office to talk over the new mission.

--

After Athena talked to Fury she walked out of the field base and to Happy's car. She got in and Happy drove to the new Avengers building.
