Peter even thought that the receptionist was going to ask him if he had an appointment. However, he was saved by the bell when a certain redhead showed up. “Tiger, what a surprise. You’re early.” [color=ed1c24]“What? When have I ever been late?”[/color] Mary Jane just rolled her eyes at Peter’s comment, knowing that Peter was truly was chronically late all the time. However, usually Peter would run into some sort of nutjob villain trying to complete some harebrained scheme. And even though a lot of the villains that he has run were pretty much pushovers, it still takes time to subdue them. Peter was just fortunate that no one had decided to try something on his way here. “Let’s take a little tour of the place, Tiger.” MJ grabbed Peter’s arm and dragged him along with her. Early on in the tour, the two teenagers passed by the office of Janet van Dyne, the creative mind behind the success of Yellowjacket. For a moment, MJ hesitated, not knowing whether she should bother Mrs. van Dyne. However, he decided that it would not have been a complete tour without Peter meeting the fashion mastermind. “This is the office of the owner of Yellowjacket and my mentor, Mrs. Janet van Dyne.” MJ pulled Peter into the office as she introduced her boss. [color=ed1c24]“Wait, you mean that you work for Doctor Henry Pym’s ex-wife? He has written some very groundbreaking papers and studies. I probably would place him among some of my favorite scientists and academics. No offense, meant though.”[/color] Peter threw in that last comment because he also knew that she was Hank Pym’s ex and he didn’t want to sound too insensitive. “No offense taken.” Janet brushed off Peter’s nerding out over Hank Pym’s academic work. “We’ve been on rather amicable terms as of late. Sure, he can be a hardhead, but at least he can admit to his mistakes.” [color=ed1c24]“And the bigger question is how does MJ know you, besides the obvious answer that she works for you?”[/color] “Oh, my mom was actually an up and coming actress herself during the prime of her life. Even after she left the stage and cameras to raise a family, she still had some connects left. Therefore here I am.” Mary Jane responded to Peter’s question. [color=ed1c24]“Oh, my apologies.”[/color] Peter suddenly said after he realized that he had only asked about them and not told MJ’s employer anything about himself. [color=ed1c24]“I forgot to introduce myself. I’m…”[/color] “Don’t worry about it. Mary Jane already filled me in. How else do you think she would get away with bringing her boyfriend to work and showing him around?” Before Peter could think of other reasons why MJ could get away with this little ‘tour’, there suddenly was a commotion in the front lobby. After Janet van Dyne checked the security footage on her personal computer in her office, she discovered that a man wearing something similar to, although not identical to, the Ant-Man suit, although it had a purple color scheme and it was obviously a homemade knock-off. In response, the owner of Yellowjacket sent a silent signal to her employees to calmly evacuate the building. Then she used her computer to tint the windows so that, once this intruder has come up to their current floor, he would not immediately see them. “Alright kids. Here’s the plan.” Janet calmly told Peter and MJ, “So, apparently some lunatic is looking for my ex-husband, here of all places.” She rolled her eyes as she finished speaking, indicating that she thought it was insane to look for Hank Pym Sr. in a place where he was not even employed. “While I hoped this day would never come, I had Hank install these small, robotic wasps that can act as a temporary defence while proper authorities arrive. Therefore, while this lunatic is distracted, I want you two to sneak out.” “But what about you?” MJ asked her mentor with a concern look on her face. “Don’t worry about me. I have some tricks up my sleeve.” Janet pulled out her smartphone and sent a red alert to her son, hoping that he was not too busy being an Avenger. She then activated the defense mechanisms that she had just mentioned. The tiny mechanical insects began to swarm the intruder once they received their commands. While this man was swatting at the small horde of robotic wasps, Peter and MJ took this opportunity to escape. However, the artificial bugs did to provide as long of a distraction as they had hoped because one of the functions that the man’s gun-like weapon had was producing a jet-stream of air, which blew away his assailants. When they were about ready to descend the first flight of stairs, the intruder caught sight of the two teenagers. The man flipped a switch on his gun and aimed it at the two escaping teenagers. Peter’s spider-sense already had alerted him of the trouble, but he could not react without revealing his superhuman abilities. And even if he did not care about that, Peter would still be leaving Mary Jane out to dry. What type of boyfriend would that make him? A very bad one, that is. However, Peter did not need his spider reflexes to dodge the man’s attack. Instead, he felt a push in the back, which caused him to tumble down the stairs. When he looked back up the stairs, Peter did not see his red haired girlfriend. A panic arose inside of Peter. He tried to calm himself by thinking that this was not something like Gwen’s death. He thought that she could not be dead. However, the footsteps that advanced towards the stairwell did not help his current state of mind. Therefore, he picked himself up and began to ran down the stairs. He did not do this out of fear, but rather of desperation. Peter needed to get outside where he could change into his Spider-Man alter ego without being spotted by the cameras within the building. Furthermore, it would help give proof that Peter Parker had exited the building.
