Throughout the day, we wandered through the streets of Venice and the Piazza San Marco. MJ and I were feeding pigeons while Brad offered to take some pictures with my camera so I could have a few with me in them. A couple pigeons even landed on my arm- i was sure that would make for a great picture later.

After a while, i realized I hadn't seen Peter anywhere. So, naturally, I used my powers to track him down- you know, like any normal person would do.

"Boh" I said, walking up behind him.

He jumped, clutching a small sack in his hands before trying to hide it behind his back.
"What?" He asks, startled.

"I know the most perfect word" I say, grinning.
"Boh." I said

"What does it mean?" Peter asked, brows raised.

"That's the fun part. It can mean loads of things. But the most common is I don't know.'' I said

"Oh" Peter nodded.

A man walked up holding a bunch of roses.
"Hey. German? American. A rose for you." He said

"No, non mi interessa" I told him
(No, I'm not interested)

"Please, rose for you" he tried again

"Boh" I said

The man frowned and finally walked off.

"Whoa." Peter said, laughing.

"It's like the anti-aloha. I get a sudden rage of confidence when I say it." I joked.

"What's in the bag?" I asked

"Oh, uh...Boh." Peter said

"Touché" I said, smirking.

He laughed softly, shaking his head.
"So, do you actually speak Italian?" Peter asked z

"Yeah, I've known for almost a hundred years now" I said casually

"Oh, right. I forget that you're actually a hundred and six sometimes" he laughed.

"Me too, honestly" I shrugged.

"I have a great question" Peter said, tone playful.

"And what is that great question, might I ask?" I teased

"How many languages do you know?" He asked.

"Fifteen- and counting. Trying to learn more because, why not?" I said

"Fifteen? Wow. What languages?" He asked.

"English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Korean, Vietnamese, Italian, Sokovian, Thai, Greek, and Dutch." I list

"That's not fair" he said, laughing.

"Hey, you could start learning" I said with a shrug.

"Yeah, no way, I'm good" he laughed.

Later, we stopped by the docks to look at the crabs climbing along the wood. The water was slowly pulling back, like the tide itself was retreating. Then came a low, deep rumble.

"Peter...you seeing what I'm seeing?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah. What is it?" He said

"I don't know" I answered.

The water kept receding, the sound of rushing waves echoing somewhere in the distance- and then a massive wall of water crashing forward.

People screamed. Chaos broke out.

Ned and betty were on a gondola when the wave hit- their boat slamming into a stone wall.

"Ned! Betty! You okay?" peter and I both shouted, running over.

"Guys, we gotta go!" Betty yelled, drenched but safe.

And then we saw it. A towering creature made of water rising from the canal. Just what I wanted to deal with on vacation.

"What is that?" Ned yelled.

"I don't know" Peter answered.

"What are you gonna do?" Ned asked.

"I left my suit back at the hotel room" Peter said

"Why?!" Ned shot back

"Because I didn't know this was going to happen!" Peter snapped.
"Everyone's gonna see my face. Get out of here,"
Peter said

Ned grabbed betty and let her away to safety. Peter and I ran toward the creature.

He fired his webs- they shot right through the water.

"Are you stupid?! It's water! Why would your webs work on it?!" I yelled.

"I don't know, I'm panicking!"' He yelled back

"How am I supposed to help I don't have my mask! People will see me!" Peter shouted.

I scanned the ground, spotted a carnival mask lying in the street, and yanked it over with my powers.
"Put it on!" I ordered, then flew off, using my powers to move people out of harms way

That's when he showed up- some guy flying in, hands glowing green as he fired his burst of green energy at the creature. He had a ....fishbowl on his head. I blinked.

"What the actual hell" I muttered.

"Excuse me, sir. My friend and I can help! I'm really strong and I'm sticky! And she can move things with her mind!" Peter shouted

"I need you to lead it away from the canals!" the man shouted back.

Peter took off, shooting webs, trying to lead the monster away while I focused on getting civilians out of danger.

"Forza vai! Fuori di qui!" I yelled
(Go go! Get out of here!)

The creature slammed into a bell tower, tilting it toward the street. I grabbed it with my powers, holding it steady- and saw Peter clinging to the top, helping keep it upright.

The guy in green surrounded the creature, his energy tightening like a net. One final blast, and the monster dissolved into nothing.

The water stilled.

The crowd cheered.

Peter and I lowered the bell tower back to place. I watched the man - the 'hero' - fly down to the ground. The people surrounded him, clapping and shouting in Italian.

But when I tried to read his mind...nothing. I couldn't see a thing. It was like hitting a wall.

"Come on" Peter said, snapping me out of it.
"Let's get back to the hotel" he said

"Yeah. Yeah, let's go" I said softly, glancing back at the man one last time before walking away.

"It's aliens. It has to be" Ned said later, standing in the lobby as everyone watches the news.

"BuzzFeed says there's a sailor named Morris Bench who was exposed to an experimental underwater generator and got hydro powers"
Flash read from his phone.

"Yeah, you should definitely believe everything you read on the Internet" MJ said dryly.

"Spider-Man and sapphire could take him" Flash added.

I tried not to laugh.

"What do you think it is?" Mr. Harrington asked

"You know being a man of science....witches"
Mr. Dell says

"Who is that guy?" Betty asked.

"He's like Iron Man and Thor rolled into one,"
Brad said

I rolled my eyes. The hell he is.

"He's all right. He's no Spider-Man or sapphire" Flash said.

"What is it with you Spider-Man and sapphire?" MJ asked.

"They're just awesome, okay? He protects the neighborhood and he's inspiring. He inspires me to be a better man. And sapphire- she's amazing, hot, and didn't you hear? She was the one who took down thanos" flash said

Peter finally walked up after getting off the phone with May.

"What's up dickwad? Thought you drowned." Flash snorted.

"Yeah, a better man" I muttered under my breath.

The TV blared in the background- the words
'L'uomo del mistero' flashing across the screen.

"Sounds like his name's Mysterio" Brad said

'''L'uomo del misterio' is Italian for man of mystery. They don't actually know who he is." I said

"When did you understand Italian?" Brad asked.

I just shrugged.

"Mysterio" Ned said
"Cool name" ned and Betty said in unison.

They turned to each other.
"Babe." They both said, smiling at each other.

I stood next to Peter, leaning close so only he could hear.
"Flash has an obsession with spiderman and sapphire" I whispered, trying not to laugh.

"No way. Really?!" Peter whispered back.

"Really" I said with a smirk.

After a pause, Peter spoke quietly.
"Paris tomorrow. Excited?" He asked

"I can't wait. It's gonna be so much fun" I said

"Yeah" peter said, smiling softly.
"Yeah, it is" he said
