"Thank you so much" I said to the man who gave me my car keys.

Basically, I had invested in a car over here with Tony's help. I didn't want anything crazy expensive or too fancy, just something I could use for commuting if I ever needed to. So, I went with a 1980 CJ5 Jeep. If you've ever watched Teen Wolf, yes, it is the same jeep Stiles has.

It wasn't too much different to my car at home to be fair, despite it being almost double the size, and it was a lot easier to fit people in it with the 4 doors instead of 2.

Driving in New York was a lot harder as well. Bristol is a decent sized city, but it was nothing compared to here, hell, even my google maps struggled. My knuckles were white as I maneuvered towards Peter's school, trying to keep my cool as people sped past me, honking on their way. I was going the speed limit, clearly, they weren't.

It was almost 3 so he should be coming out any minute. I kept my eyes on the crowd from my parking space, hopping out and leaning against my car so I could get a better view, sipping from my milkshake I bought on the way down. Students started pouring out and I stood on my tiptoes, peering over the heads.

I met the eye of a boy, who winked at me, and I couldn't help but wrinkled my nose, looking away quickly. Nasty.

"Hey, look at Penis Parker go!" what the fuck.

My head turned back towards where I saw the boy only to see my love running over, a huge grin on his face as our gazes met. I pushed off the car and hurried towards him, both of us embracing in the middle. My arms went around the back of his neck as his locked around my waist.

"I can't believe you're really here" I chuckled, a little watery.

"Surprise! I've missed you so much" he squeezed me lightly before letting me go.

"You have no idea" our smiles practically mirrored each other as realization set in.

"Dude, don't mind waiting for me"

"Ned!" I greeted, pulling him into a hug which he returned enthusiastically. "it's so good to see you again, love the fit"

"Thank you" he puffed out his chest proudly and I smiled, leaning back into Peter's side.

"Hey Parker! Who's this? Someone actor you paid" the boy who winked at me earlier walked over, a couple of his friends behind him as he taunted Pete, which I instantly disliked.

"Shove off Flash." I felt the hand caressing my waist tighten slightly as I narrowed my eyes at the familiar name. Oh, so this is Flash.

"what's your name sweetheart? You want to hang out with the cool group?" he gave me a flirtatious smile. I snorted, covering my mouth as I laughed.

"Seriously, the 'cool group'? How old are you, 7? Piss off asshole. Clearly, my boyfriend and I have better things to do" The boys chuckled at this, and Flash looked less than amused. I noticed how his eyes went to Ned's hat before he shrugged, pretending to turn away only to snatch it off of Ned's head. Before he could get far, I shot forward and caught his wrist just as the hat left Ned's head, freezing him in place.

"Nice try." I took the hat and tripped him over, some of his friends stepped towards me but Peter and Ned were quick to mirror them, albite Ned was slightly more nervous.

"Leave it." Flash snapped, getting to his feet. "This isn't over"

"whatever" Peter glared at him before they stalked off, leaving the three of us alone.

"Here you go Ned" he took his hat gratefully.

"Thanks Alex"

"Don't mention it. I hear he's quite the dick" Peter snorted, shaking his head as he took my hand.

"You have no idea" he kissed my temple, "how did you get here, did one of the team drop you down?" he peered towards the jeep.

"Love, I drove"

"that's so cool" Ned muttered in awe, and I shot him a wink.

"The others don't know I'm back yet, or maybe Jarvis told them, but I came straight to pick you up" he grinned down at me, eyes studying my face.

"I love you"

"God when Ned warned me you two were cute, he wasn't lying" a voice chimed, and we turned to see a girl with thick wavy hair walking towards us.

"Michelle, this is Alex, Alex this is- "

"My friends call me MJ" she interrupted, sticking out her hand which I shook happily.

"It's so nice to meet you, Peter talks about you all the time." She rose an eyebrow, shooting him a look which he shrugged at, shrinking slightly.

"Funny, I was just about to say the same about you" we shared a smile, talking about art for a bit, seeing as we were both studying/ studied it. Her style was so cool, and I envied her illustrative style.

"Do you guys want a lift home?"

"Are you sure?" I brushed them off, guiding everyone towards the car.

"As long as you can give me the postcodes for google maps" I joked as I climbed in, Peter and Ned being shunned to the back so Mj could join me in the front, which also gave her control of the Aux cord and I had to say, she had some banging tunes.
