strangetrip | Peter Parker Party(Closed to Piotr, Kitty, Sora, Alec, and obvs Peter)

Liz had been organizing the small party for Peter for two weeks and it had been hard not to excitedly tell Peter everything. She knew he considered today his birthday. His sixteenth birthday and she wanted him to feel special today.

Once Peter was out of the room, she went in a decorated. Everything was simple, but made from the heart. She had, with Pike's instructions, made a chocolate cake with vanilla icing and piped a web in black on it with candles that said '16'. There were some finger-foods like pigs in a blanket anc chips, but the 'main course' was thai food. Or, something that maybe resembled it. Liz had worked with Emma to try and make some. There was Thai curry and Pad Thai and there was even an attempt at Larb based off of Peter's recount to Liz and then Liz's recount to Emma. There were red and blue streamers carefully places around the room.

Liz was dressed in a simple black tank top and jeans, but her hair was pulled back and clipped together by a Homemade bow.

There was music playing in the back ground of the borrowed boom box. She turned around in place looking at everything and wondered if Peter would have wanted more?

Once everyone else had arrived, it was just Peter they were waiting on. When he did, everyone but Alec shouted, to varying degrees of enthusiasm, 'Surprise'.

Since she'd been so hard on him at the dance, Kitty promised herself she'd behave at the party. Mostly.

When she approached him, she had two gifts in her hands behind her back. "Happy birthday. Pick a hand."

"Um..."

Peter hesitates for a long moment, not entirely sure if this is some sort of test. But when he makes his decision, it's a decisive one:

"Right."

"Good choice," Kitty said and grinned as she produced a glass with a very neatly layered slushie cocktail. Red--cranberry, grenadine and vodka. Blue--blue curacao. And black--charcoal vodka lemonade.

"I call the Spidey Slush."

Peter looks at the drink and then looks up at Kitty --

-- and then back down at the drink again.

"You named a drink after me?" This is on-par with having a sandwich named after him at Delmar's. Maybe it's even better, because almost everyone here already knows he's Spider-Man. If there was a sandwich at Delmar's named The Spider-Man, people wouldn't know it was named after him.

But you didn't become a superhero to have food items named after you and take credit for it.

That sure doesn't stop Peter from feeling excited anyway. He takes the drink from Kitty's hands and takes a sip.

"It's good," he says, trying to fight off the brain freeze that struck him immediately after his first sip. "Thanks a lot."

Another long sip. Did Kitty bartend back on her own Earth? Peter makes a mental note to ask sometime.

"What's in your left hand?"

"Go easy on that or you'll faceplant in your birthday cake," Kitty warned him. It wasn't as strong as she'd have made it for someone of U.S. legal drinking age, but it was strong enough. Besides, it was kind of adorable that he was excited about it instead of realizing she was winding him up.

"Your real birthday present. Want it?"

"Yeah, I know," Peter says, nodding. He'd learned his lesson since the dance and he was going to be sure to drink lots of water.

"My real birthday present?" Peter repeats. He sets his drink down on the table and looks over at Kitty, perplexed. "I thought the drink was my birthday gift."

"No, that was mostly me messing with you," Kitty admitted but she was grinning.

She drew the other hand from behind her back, and in it was a small drone (one of her earlier efforts, augmented with some tech from the station) painted to look like the Spider-suit. "It won't do much more than fetch a pen or a notebook you forgot to bring to class right now, but I thought you could use a sidekick."

"Whoa," Peter says, and for a second, he almost loses his hold on his drink. His gaze quickly flickers from the device and up to Kitty.

"You made this for me?" It might be small, but it's obviously really sophisticated. And it's definitely better than anything he's made so far.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome." It had been awhile since anyone (besides Yana and her restraints) had appreciated Kitty's technical skills, so it was nice that Peter was excited about it.

"But if I catch you using it to pass notes to Liz in class, I'll impound it." She was, for the most part, teasing.

"Yeah," Peter says, nodding. "Thanks - I won't abuse it." He's definitely taking Kitty's threat seriously.

But that reminds him.

"I should go find Liz, though." Not that that should be hard. His rooms aren't really that big, and it's not like the place is swarming with guests. "I'll catch up with you later--"

And as if suddenly realizing something, Peter lets out a little "Oh!"

"And don't forget to try the larb. It's -- it's pretty good."

Unsure where that last little bit of advice came from, Kitty laughed. "Got it. Go, enjoy your party."
