Chapter 822
“The fire elemental will appear in Prague in about 48 hours! There is only one thing for you to do; kill it! You will have to come with us!” Nick Fury demanded.
“Wait, did you just say Prague? Nick Fury, sir! Don’t you think this task is too big for a high school superhero? What about the other Avengers?” Peter hesitated. He thought that Earth destroying monsters was too big for him.
“Come on! You have defeated Thanos with the big boys before!” Nick Fury said annoyedly.
“No, no! It’s Mr. Dio that killed Thanos twice! I am just a bystander at that point! I don’t even harm Thanos in any kind of way!” Peter clearly didn’t like it that Nick Fury said he helped kill Thanos when he did nothing.
“What about Berlin? You stole Captain America’s shield right off his hands! You also beat some of the Avengers at that time too!” Nick Fury said annoyedly.
“No, I didn’t steal Captain America’s shield! I didn’t beat any of the Avengers, I am the one who got beat! Besides, it is all just a big misunderstanding!” Peter said hurriedly. “Come on, sir! You can certainly find someone better than me! how about Thor?” Peter asked enthusiastically.
“Not on Earth!” Nick Fury said lazily.
“Uh, Doctor Strange?” Peter asked again.
“Busy!” Nick Said annoyedly.
“Captain Marvel?” Peter asked.
“Don’t mention that name to me!” Nick Fury said coldly.
“What about Mr. Stark? Mr. Dio? Ant-Man? The Hulk! Yes, there is always the Hulk! I am pretty sure the Hulk would smash those monsters into pieces!” Peter said excitedly.
“Iron Man and Ant-Man have retired, and now they are stuck with raising their children at home! Hulk and Vision are busy opening their restaurant chains. Meanwhile, Dio has been taking care of Wanda as she was pregnant with their first child. Quicksilver is busy running around the world, and only god knows where he is at the moment. Mantis and Lucy are on vacation, and they turn off their phone! T’challa is the head of a country, and he is busy at the moment!” Nick Fury said while sighing tiredly.
“Alright! I really want to help, but if Aunt May knows that I leave the group, she will kill me! After the Washington Monument incident, if Spiderman appears again in Europe, my classmate will discover my identity, and then the whole world will know my identity too! I am finished!” Peter said worriedly.
“Bitch, you have been to space!” Nick Fury said annoyedly. “Huh, alright! Just go back to your hotel. Your teacher might be suspicious of you if you are missing! Dimitry, send him back to the hotel!”
“Thank god! Thank you very much, Nick Fury, Sir! Good luck with your endeavor!” Peter said as he breathed a sigh of relief. But at the same time, he felt like he had made a wrong decision. On second thought, would Nick Fury really let him walk away so easily?
………………………….
The next day, Peter, who planned to go to Paris, suddenly received a call from a travel agency saying he got a free hotel upgrade! Meanwhile, he was no longer heading towards Paris but Prague instead!
He also saw Dimitry standing at the front of the tour bus, serving as their new tour guide and driver! Peter couldn’t stand it. Nick Fury was about to drive him crazy!
“What the hell is happening?” Ned asked as he knew something wasn’t right.
“Obviously, Nick Fury has hijacked our trip!” Peter said worriedly. He just helplessly followed everyone into the bus as he couldn’t say anything about the SHIELD to everyone.
Inside the bus, Peter took out the glasses that Tony gave him, and he also saw a card below the glasses.
“To the next Tony Stark, I believe in you! Say, Edith!” Peter read it whisperingly, and as soon as he finished, a voice was heard from the glasses.
“Preparing retina and biometric scanner, retina and biometric scans affirmed.” The voice said suddenly.
“Hello?” Peter said unsurely.
“Hello, Peter! I am Edith, Tony Stark’s latest Augmented Reality defense system.” Edith, the glasses’ A.I said cheerfully.
“So, Mr. Stark made you for me?” Peter said excitedly.
“No, but you have access to all of my features! Do you want to learn about it?” Edith said cheerfully.
“Of course!” Peter said excitedly.
“So, E.D.I.T.H stands for Even Death, I am The Hero. Tony Stark likes to play with words.” Edith explained her name.
“Yes, he likes it a lot!” Peter said as he burst out laughing.
“I have access to the entire Stark Enterprise Global Security Network, including multiple defense satellites and the backdoor access to all major telecommunication networks,” Edith explained.
“Wow, that is a lot!” Peter said as he was suddenly burdened.
………………..
At the same time as Peter activated EDITH, Tony, who was still in his cabin, received the activation notice. Then he immediately spied on Peter as he activated the hidden camera system. He noticed that Peter was flustered as he held the latest spying technology in his hand. Tony just smiled as it was his latest prank on Peter.
“Are you sure that thing wouldn’t cause any big troubles for that boy?” Pepper leaned over Tony’s shoulder, holding a cup of coffee in her hand. They were together most of the time now, and it was impossible for Tony to hide anything he did from Pepper.
Obviously, Pepper knew Tony had created a gadget for Peter that would give the boy all access to Stark Enterprise.
“Don’t you already realize that the boy was incapable of evil?” Tony said confidently.
“I wasn’t talking about Peter! Don’t you realize that once someone knew about this little gadget of yours, they would try to steal it from Peter, and once they do, they would discover a vault of the world’s information and a weapon that could destroy a country!” Pepper said worriedly.
This is what she meant by ‘Big Trouble’. If she were worried that Peter would do evil, she wouldn’t agree for Tony to gift the glasses to Peter in the first place. She had never doubted Peter’s kindness, not in the past and obviously not now!
“Are you worried it was too much for him to handle? It is already in his hands now, so how will he use it and what others would do about it is already out of our hands now.” Tony said solemnly.
“Are you testing him again?” Pepper asked curiously. But Tony just shrugged as he didn’t feel like answering Pepper’s question. He decided to leave it up to her own imagination. He wanted to guide Peter into the leader that would lead the new generation of Superheroes, and growth went hand in hand with suffering.
