Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Felicia and peter are sitting at the cafe, after school peter quickly goes out of the class walking home but she was stop by felicia and said she want to have a talk with him.

At first, he wanted to refuse but on second thought he accepted and now they are sitting across each other at the cafe.

Felicia want to talk about peter change of behaviour for the past few weeks, she look at him like he is a different person and not the man she knew before.

She is curious of peter sudden change, It was better to talk one on one talk to sort things out.

"Hi, so what ar we having?" A waiter asked.

The waiter was a cute teenager no older than her or peter with brunnete hair that complemented her brown eyes. Her name tag read Ms. Brown.

"I'll have the chocolate smoothie." Felicia said.

"Chocolate smoothie, alright, and what about you?" The waiter ask, she look at peter with an eyebrow raised and her lips twisted up slightly.

'Wonderful.' Peter thought, he knows the waiter must thought that he is lucky to have a girl like felicia tapk to him, felicia also notice the waiter expression.

"I'll have a glass of water." Peter said.

"One chocolate smoothie and one glass of water coming right up." As she slipped past felicia, she turned to peter a wink and two thumbs up, mouthing. 'Hang in there, you got this.' That slight smile morphing into a full-grown grin.

'At least someone is enjoying my misery.' Peter sighed wishfully.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Peter ask.

"I want to talk about you peter." Felicia said.

"About me?" Peter pointed to himself, confused.

"Yes, about you, peter!" Felicia said.

Peter tilted his head, confused. "I'm confused!"

"Peter... is there something wrong with you?" Felicia ask.

"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Peter said, surprised.

"Because you are acting very different lately in these few months." Feilicia said. "When I'm approaching or near you, you would avoid me. You suddenly always sit in class out of knowhere without anyone notice. I also see Flash, harry, and the bullies ignore you or walk past you like you didn't exist. And many other things that you usually do, but now you aren't. It's like... you have changed into a different person!"

Of course, felicia dismiss the topic when he is spider man, because peter keep the secret about him being spider man to everyone and the whole world except for a few people knows he is spider man, felicia is one of them.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Peter said with a stright face. 'Of course, I'm different, I am not the old peter parker you know before.' He thought.

Felicia shook her head and surprised of peter's answer. "What do you mean by what i am talking about?! You know what i'm talking about." She narrowed her eyes.

"Sorry, felicia but i still don't know what you're talking about." Peter said.

When felicia was about to speak, the waiter come with their drinks. "Here you go one chocolate smoothie and one glas of water." The waiter give them their drinks.

"Enjoy." The waiter smile then she dismiss to resume her work.

Peter drink his water and look at felicia again. "Listen felicia, if you want just want to talk about why i'm different from your point of view then this is a waste of my time." Peter said with cold tone as he begin to stand up and leave.

"Wh-What!" Felicia wide eyed and surprised, peter is leaving her just like that, he usually didn't do this to her.

They are here for only five minutes and spoke few words, he already wanted to leave. He commonly listen what she said and leave when the conversation is over but... the way she spoke to her with blank face and cold tone, peter would never would speak and look at her like that.

"Peter wait!" Felicia gets up quickly from he seat but peter use his teleportation ability and vanish from the cafe. 'What the–!' Felicis thought, she is stunned see peter suddenly vanished.

Felicia walk out of the cafe and look around for peter but he is nowhere around. 'Peter, what happened to you?' Felicia thought, she didn't know why but she began to worried about peter sudden change.

Peter who teleported out of cafe arrived at his home, he sit on the sofa and sigh. 'Good thing i teleported out of there, I don't want to deal with felicia!' He closed his eyes.

He teleported out of the cafe because she didn't want to conversation with felicia, he knew felicia will talk about his change of attitude and character. Felicia is smart and observant, she can tell something is different from the peter parker she knew.

'I wonder what thor and OAA is doing?' Peter said, as he change into his spider suit and ready for patrol.

Meanwhile, thor is at the metro hospital in new york working as a doctor, yesterday he applied to become a doctor and given a test so he can doctor liecense and work there.

Thor passed the test and got his doctor license, now he is working at the metro hospital and filling his report of a patient. When he was writing his report suddenly he sense a monster nearby, he quickly finish his report and walked towards the monster that is nearby.

He walked out of the hospital looking aroujd to sense the monster, he finally found the monster in the alley nearby the hospital, he walk towards the alley that is long and wide alley that can fit two trucks.

He see a manticore is fighting three kids which is estimated to be 14 years old, two boys and one girl. 'Who are they?' Thor thought.

'I better check the sorrounding area if the hunters of artemis are around here.' Thor began to use his rune magic detection to detect If someone is nearby or on the rooftop.

Luckily after he use his rune detection magic he didn't found anyone near them, so he hide behind in the alley to observe their fight, from what thor can see they are actually doing a pretty good job.

He really want to help them by striking the manticore with a lightning bolt from the sky but he didn't want to be discovered by them or people who have magical detection abilities especially dr. Strange.

Percy is parry the manticore's tail while annabeth is using her sword to stab the manticore's head and grover kick the manticore making the monsters dizzy.

"Annabeth, now!" Percy shout.

Annabeth jump onto the manticore's back, the monsters who can feel annabeth is riding him begin to jump everywhere to shake her off of him. "Whoa!" Annabeth shout, she begin to grip tightly on the manticore'a fur around his lion head.

She begin to stab around the manticore's head and body as blood begin to flow out of the manticore.

The manticore's tail behind annabeth ready to strike her from behind. "Annabeth, behind you." Gorver shout pointed to the manticore's tail behind her.

Annabeth look behind her see the manticore tail is ready to strike her, when the manticore tail launch towards her, annabeth jumps away and land on the ground.

"Watch out for his tail, it can shoot poison." Annabeth warned them.

The manticore shoot a green liquid from his tail, annabeth dodge the green liquid and the manticore began to shoot poison to the three of them. Percy, annabeth, and grover are dodging everywhere poison the monster shoot to them.

"I have an idea, Grover distract the monster." Annabeth said.

"Alright." Grover said, he trust her because annabeth always has a plan.

Grover began to distract the manticore. "Percy jump into the manticore's back." Annabeth said.

"But... didn't that failed before?" Percy said.

"Don't worry, trust me seaweed brain." Annabeth said.

Percy just nod and look at the manticore who is fighting with grover and grover just keep dodging all the monster's attack, he begin to run while the manticore is distracted. Percy begin to jump on the manticore's back and the manticore begin to get annoyed as another person is riding him.

He stop attacking grover and ready his tail to deliver poison to percy but before he launch his tail to percy annabeth begin launch herself towards the manticore's tail gripping her sword.

She swing her sword on the manticore's tail cutting his tail, the manticore roar in pain and begin to jump around widly, percy grip tightly on the manticore's head didn't let it go.

"Percy, stab the manticore's head now while he still in pain." Annabeth said.

Percy grip riptide on his right hand and raise it high then plunge the sword down into the manticore's head, the monster begin to stop moving and drop to the ground dead with his eyes closed.

Annaneth and grover began to run approaching percy. "Percy, you okay?" Grover ask, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm alright." Percy begin to get down from the dead manticore.

The three of them began to regroup. "Never would thought of all the monster we would encounter a manticore is one of them." Percy said.

"If a manticore is here that means something is nearby." Annabeth said.

Grover didn't talk and begin to smell something, he look around smelling the scent that attracted him, annabeth and percy look at grover who look around. "Grover, what is it?" Percy ask.

"I smell... something." Grover said as he still tried to find the scent that his nose attracted.

"What is it?" Annabeth ask.

"This scent... it's like... there is someone watching us." Grover said.

"What!" Annabeth and percy said, they begin to look around to find the person who is watching them secretly without their notice.

"Grover, are you sure you smell someone is nearby watching us fight the chimera?" Annabeth said, unsure because she didn't sense a monster or someone nearby.

"Yes, I'm sure." Grover still looking around until he stop and look at where thor is hiding spot.

He begin approach the spot where thor is hiding, annabeth and percy look at grover's action confused. Grover walk slowly towards where thor is hiding but when he was about to see thor, he is no longer there.

"What the–" Grover began to look around and smell the scent again but the scent is already gone.

Annabeth and lercy approach grover. "Grover, what is it?" Annabeth ask, as she look at where grover is looking found nothing.

"That's weird." Grover said. "The scent I smell lead me here but all I found is... nothing." He pointed to thor's hiding spot but he is nowhere to be found.

"I think your nose has a problem grover." Percy said.

"No percy, I swore to the gods that my nose have no problem and never wrong." Grover said looking at percy denying that his nose have problem.

"Alright, I believe you that your nose have no problem." Percy said believing what grover said because he knows grover for a long time and he is his friend.

"Alright, cut the chat you two, let's get out of here before more monsters coming." Annabeth said.

They begin to walk out of the alley before grover look at the spot where the scent have gone for a second then follow percy and annabeth.

What they don't know, thor is using his invisibility rune magic to hide his smell, divinity, and himself from them. 'It seems like things got a lot more interesting.' Thor thought.

He deactivate his invisibility after they are gone and walk back to the hospital resuming his work.
