Peter giggled, feeling his cheeks flushed instantly.
- It's just that I get along well with everyone. I'm sorry, I know I saw you, but I can't remember your name.
- Oh, nothing, I probably didn't even introduce myself. My name is Kate Layberg. Well, what are you doing here, anyway? You don't usually come down here.
- Yeah, well, I'm just waiting for my class, we've had a tour here this morning at 9:00 a.m., - Peter shook his shoulders, and Kate's eyebrow kicked out.
- Midtown High School?
- I... Yeah.
- Well, I guess I'm your tour guide today, - Kate smiled.
At that moment, a crowd of gaudy schoolchildren came through the front door, but they were all admiringly quiet, as soon as they got inside. Peter heard them grunting and aching as they headed towards him. To tell the truth, he understood them very well, he had been in their shoes himself. The design of the most banal reception area was so elegant, glossy, and at the same time technological, that it felt like you were at least fifty years ahead of you in the future. Every corner of the room was just screaming Stark.
First of all, Peter found it in Ned's crowd and smiled at his friend's rapturous face. Then he stared at Miss Warren and nodded at the teacher as a greeting.
- Good morning, Peter. Well, we're all here now, - she said when they were at a hearing distance. Peter hurried to take his place near Ned.
- Hello! Everything is so cool here, - Ned admired the muffled whispering, with his eyes sparkling as he looked around before he turned to Peter again, - are you wearing Tony Stark's sweatshirt? Dude, my God!
- I was in a hurry, - Peter shook his shoulders, but before Ned could answer anything, his face turned dark. Peter felt his spider's instincts awake, warning him seconds before he felt a jolt in his shoulder.
- Wow, Penis, I'm almost impressed, - a gentleman, so as not to draw the teacher's attention, Flash said in his voice, bending his eyebrows. - So you didn't get off the tour to avoid the deserved punishment?
- I told you on the bus that Peter would be waiting for us here, - Ned said irritably, and Flash just rolled his eyes on it.
- And why would I believe that? Anyway, I'm happy you're here, - he said, and his lips were blurred in an evil grin. - I want to see your face when all your lies come out.
Having said that, Flash left before any of them could answer, and it was at that time that Kate took her word, instantly calling the crowd to silence.
- So, good morning, Midtown! My name is Kate Layberg and today I will be your guide. Before we begin, you need to get your badges. They serve as an identification device, and also provide access, so don't lose them and make sure they are always over your clothes in sight.
Kate has started to take turns naming names by skipping Peter's name and giving everyone an elegant white badge with the name of the owner and the number 1.
- Why wasn't Parker given a badge? - Flash asked when Kate gave the empty box to the receptionist.
- Peter Parker has his badge, - Kate replied, and Peter pulled his badge out of his pocket by throwing a shoelace around his neck. There were no numbers on his badge, only the laconic Parker P. Flash looked puzzled.
- Mr. Stark has a very strict rule against printing extra badge copies. Can anyone tell me why?
- Spending resources? - Abe suggested.
- A security threat? - added Ned.
- You're both right. In general, there are several levels of access, - Kate started explaining by pointing her hand at the class. - All of you now have your first level of access and badges, which are mostly used only by visitors. Behind the passageway, they will not be able to give you access to anything without an attendant with a higher level of access. If you are given temporary access to a certain place, then only there you will be able to get there. Level 1 badges are issued to excursion groups and, for example, to the press. All employees have a higher level of access, but it depends on the department in which the employee works, as well as the position. For example, interns of the research department have access to some floors of the department, but not all of them. Only the leading scientists of the departments, as well as heads of departments who are also members of the Board of Directors, have access to the entire department. Service personnel also have access only to the floors allocated to them.
