Chapter 65

I whistled, "damn, that's a lot of planning and money spent on little old me. Am I really worth all that?"

"I guess we'll find out," Fury said walking out. He closed the door behind him and I heard his footsteps leave the house.

I sighed and went back to bed, sometimes I wish I never became a goddamn superhero.

The next day:

I woke up early on Saturday and quickly checked my house for bugs. I found 10 in my room and 5 in the basement. I proceeded to destroy them, but instead of throwing them in the trash I kept the around to study. If SHIELD insisted on wasting bugs on me who was I to complain?

I had breakfast and limped my way downstairs. I locked myself inside and took out the arc reactors I was studying.

I spent the better part of the afternoon further studying it. It was honestly amazing, it could produce more energy than anything it's size had any business doing. It was like a portable giant battery that never ran out of juice. Unless it's core was depleted, which was a major problem.

They were using Palladium, something that had a high deterioration rate and would get burnt out fast. Tony would need to synthesis a new element to fix this problem, which was exactly what he did in Iron Man 2.

I went online and searched the science documentary websites and immediately was bombarded with news that Stark had applied for a patent to a new element which he promptly named 'Badassium'.

The new element would be able to power an arc reactor indefinitely, instead of constant changes in Palladium cells. I needed to get my hands on some of that, but unfortunately only one man on Earth could make it and I doubt he would like the fact I knew how to make his favorite toy.

I then moved on to the repulsor technology. I understood what he used to thrust himself upwards, but I needed to understand how. It took me all day but I finally managed to break down the system and rebuild it.

I even had a few ideas on how to improve the system, maybe even a use this technology in other gadgets I wished to build.

That night as I was packing things up my phone buzzed, someone had texted me. It was Felicia;

F: Hey.

P: Hey yourself. How have you been?

F: Fine. You?

P: Okay, just doing a little studying.

F: You are such a nerd.

P: Yup.

F: Anyway, about last night...

P: Yes?

F: Remember what I asked?

P: For a proper date?

F: Yeah, are you free tomorrow?

P: For you? Always. Where do you want to go?

F: Anywhere is fine Tiger. Your pick.

P: Okay, dinner and a movie sound good to you?

F: Yes. I'll see you then. Pick me up?

P: Yup. Night Kitten.

F: Night Tiger.

She wasn't much of a texter and neither was I. Guess I had a date to plan.

On Sunday I worked a little more on the repulsor tech and the drones. The drones themselves were boring as hell, big, clumsy and outdated. Guess that's what you get when you to rip off other people's ideas instead of making your own.

I of course also planned on ripping Stark's tech, but at least I understood what I was doing and new how to make improvements.

Around the afternoon I got ready and went out to pick Felicia up. She looked amazing, she wore a pair of tight jeans, a black blouse with a jacket over it. The date wasn't something out of a fairy tale or something like that, it was just a way for us to get to know each other.

We watched some crappy comedy movie and laughed at the horrible acting and the corny jokes. I took her out for dinner and she insisted on splitting the check, something about it being fair after standing me up at Julio's.

And now I walked her back home, telling her a joke that made her laugh so hard she snorted like a pig.

"Oh my god I can't believe you did that!" she laughed.

"I know! So I'm stuck under the principal's desk, she comes in and sits down and I'm praying Osborn has the balls to trip the alarm. And just as I was about to reach third base with the principle he did it. I managed to sneak out when she left to see what the commotion was about but after that I swore I would never ever follow Harry's dumb ideas!"

Felicia snorted, "ha! Oh God!"

I grinned, "you sound so cute when you snort."

"Shut it!" she hissed, still smiling.

"I'm serious! It makes you look so cute!"

"As if I wasn't cute before," she huffed.

"No, you're usually beautiful, now you're cute," I smiled as I did my best to walk slower, but soon we reached at her place. I sighed looked at the building, stupid building, why did have to be so close? "So...I guess this is it huh?"

Felicia smiled, "how about another walk around the block? I don't feel like going home and giving mom a report on what I did tonight."

I grinned, "sounds good," I wrapped my hand around hers as we walked around the block again and again. We did that for an hour, just talking with each other, neither wanting to end this night.

But soon her mother called her up and asked her to come home, it was getting late. I sighed, "I had a great time tonight."

Felicia smiled, "yeah...me too Tiger."

"You ah...you want to do this again sometime?"

"Why Tiger, are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" she teased.

I blinked, did I? There were so many things we hide from each other, I knew a few of her secrets, but she knew none of mine and….oh fuck it.
