"No, no, please May! No!" I can't believe this is happening to me! Today has to be the worst day of my life. "Isn't there anyone else you can get to take 'care' of me?"

"Now don't you start that again! I've heard all I want about how you can take care of yourself. I would have told you sooner but I know how much of a fight you would put up. I'm leaving for two weeks, Peter. You are not staying here by yourself. Oh, let's not forget on top of that, you're getting sick! " May paced around in the living room. Not in any particular area, just around me. She hates fighting with me.

I sighed and fell silent so she could gather her things together. She proped her suitcase on the arm chair and strolled off towards her bed room. "May, please don't do this! I can stay at Neds house."

"They already have so many people at their house. Remember? All his aunts and uncles are in town early for Christmas." She set another suitcase and her purse by the door. I jumped off the couch and beat her to the last and heaviest one. "Thanks, sweetie."

"No problem." I huffed. I made my way back to the sofa and flopped on it. For some reason the impact made me sneeze and cough, at the same time. "Okay, that one hurt..." My eyes followed May as she went in the kitchen. She was grinning ear to ear.

"Oh NO!" my head screamed. "Get out of here!" I started to stand up when May reappeared. In her hand was an Iron Man collectors glass. I've told her many times not to use that cup, but right know that was the least of my worries. What was inside the cup is what I needed to avoid. "Uh, May... is this babysitting thing really necessary.?"

"Peter, believe me when I say I don't like it ethier, I'm telling the truth. Tony Stark is the last person I would ask to babysit you. Literally, he was the last person I asked. But besides that, I thought you loved Mr. Stark." She still had the cup in her hand. Good.

"I do like Mr.Stark, but as a mentor and superhero, not a babysitter!" I sat back down on the couch and made my pouting face. A face I would only ever show May. She started laughing and shaking her head at me. Just then the doorbell rang. "He's here! I'll help you take your things down to the car."

"No. I want you to sit here and drink this. It'll make you feel better." She handed me the cup, filled with a disgraceful... I don't even know how to describe it. It's one of Mays natraul healers. In the cup was one cup of boiled water, 2 tps of lemon juice, a glob of honey, cinnamon, and 3 tbs of molasses. It's horrible.

May opened the door and smiled at the two men in the door way. "Mr. Stark! Mr. Hogan! Please come in!" The two familiar faces walked in the door.

"Happy? Do you mind helping Ms. Parker carry her suitcases down?" Tony said while putting his hands in his pockets. Happy nodded and picked up the smaller suitcase.

"Hey- uhhh... Happy, I'll help you with that!" I was almost off the hook when May stepped in front of me.

"You're not going anywhere until I watch you drink that whole glass." May poked at my chest and then the cup. "It will clear out that infection of yours."

"May! I don't need it! It taste horrible and makes me gag. It'll probably make me sicker if I drink it." I shoved the cup in her hand. I began coughing so loud and hard, all of Queens could probably hear me.

"Drink it, NOW! You don't want me to sing the song do you?" She handed the cup back to me. I stared into the discussting stuff, making up my mind.

"I'd rather hear you sing the song." I smiled and looked back at her. Happy was already carring the second suitcase down to the car. Tony stood amussed at the sight of me not wanting to take my "medicine". Gosh, I can't let him see me like this. "May, I'm not that sick. It's just a cold. I'm totally fi-" I sneezed into my long sleeved shirt.

"Fine... I'll sing the Iron Man song..." May smirked and sat down on the couch with me. To the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb, she began to sing.

"Iron Man got-ot sick. Got-ot sick. Got-ot sick. Iron Man Got-ot sick. So he flew home."

"Okay! Stop it, May! I'll drink the dang stuff!" In one rather large gulp, the gross liquad was down my throat. "Geez, out of every song you sang to me when I was little, you just had to chose that one!" May was laughing harder than she should be. Then Tony freaking Stark started laughing with her!

"Are there any more songs you sang about me, Ms. Parker? I'm very pleased with your hero choice kid." Tony said with a grin. May nodded her head yes, making me slap my forehead. "Don't worry, kid. I'll keep this a secreat." Just then Happy walked back in the room. "Oh, Happy! You've got to hear the song Peter sings about me." I rolled my eyes and stomped away, to the kitchen. After rising my cup out and putting it in the sink, I returned to say goodbye to May.

"So, tell me again why you have to go?" I muttered. My face was hot read. From both my embaressment and the fever I had.

"Oh, Peter... you're acting like I'm never coming back. I'm only gone for-"

"Two weeks... I know." I whispered.

"Tell you what, I'll text you every hour while I'm on the flight. I'll call you when I land, too." May pulled me into a hug before I could respond. Flight?!? I can't let her on an airplane! I returned the hug and then pushed away.

"Flight? You didn't say anything about a flight! I thought you said Happy was driving you!" I glaced passed May to see the other twos reaction. Happy looked confused, while Tony looked concerned. I barely saw Tony lean over and whisper something to Happy. Happy's expression changed to... sadness? I couldn't really tell.

"Peter, Happy is driving me. But only to the airport. I'll be fine and so will you. It's a new experience for us both, but it's gonna be fun. I have to go know, dear. I love you." She hugged me again and kissed my forehead. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek.

"I love you too. Bye, May!" She picked up her purse and turned to Mr. Stark.

"Woops! Almost forgot! Here is a list of rules for Peter. If you need help finding anything just ask him and he'll point you in he right direction. Thank you so much for watching him! Bye Peter! Have a good day Mr. Stark. Have fun you two!"

"My pleasure. He's a good kid. Plus I needed to get out of the compound." She smiled, nodded, and waved to both us. She pulled the door shut and just like that she was gone.

I wanted to run after her. I wanted to run out the door and chace the car like a child would, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Not with Mr.Stark standing next to the door. "So... how long have you been sick?" Tony asked. He walked over and sat on the couch. I joined him on the other end.

"About three days. Nothing serious, just a cold." I coughed suddenly, not able to cover my mouth. "That's from that drink May forced me to chugg down." My eyes were burning now. Yep, I was running a fever. I flipped over the couch and landed on my feet. Then I causally walked to the kitchen.

"Hey, do you mind if Pepper comes over? I need to go over some thing with her today." Tony got up and followed me.

"Yeah, sure. I don't care." I popped open the medicine cabnet and took out the tylonol bottle. I opened it up, ignorning Tonys stares. I poured out four pills in the palm of my hand. When I was about to put them in my mouth, Tony stopped me.

"Hey! Hey!" Mr. Stark dove for my hand and slapped the pills to the ground before I could take any. "You had two extra pills in your hand, kid. You trying to overdose?"

"Mr. Stark... I know what I'm doing! With my powers, two tylonol doesn't help. Four barely helps. I'm just really cautious with how many I do take because I don't what to overdose." Tony just stood in one place. I think he was embarrssed from his panic. I didn't say much to him about it. I just scooped up the medicine and tossed it in the trash. Any other day I would have just taken those pills, but...

"Oh, Mr. Stark, before I knew you were the one watching me, I invited a friend over today. I can call and cancel if you want me too." I took my medicine and went back to the living room. Tony was following melike a baby duckling follows its mom. This is going to be weird and annoying.

"No, no that's fine. Who is it?" Stark replied after taking a bag of cool ranch doritos off the table.

"Just my friend Ned... and MJ may be coming. She wasn't to clear on her answer." I smirked to myself as I thought about what she said.

"You can come too MJ. We'll probably just build the lego set and then watch a movie." I said to her. She had been hanging out with me and Ned during PE and I thought it would be rude not to include her.

"I'll think about your lame offer, Parker. But don't expect an answer." She stood up off the bench and walked to the girls locker room. Ned slapped me and started going on and on about how she's a girl and won't like what we do. I just shrugged.
