Peter was laying on your bed, his mask removed, but otherwise still completely clad in his Spider-Man suit. He looked up at you with brown eyes pooled with desire, but also filled with weariness. He must have taken in your mischievous expression.
You, clad in an old oversized tshirt of his and a pair of panties, were feeling mischievous tonight. Peter had told you about the changes happening to his body, the way webs would shoot out against his control, and you were eager to see it for yourself.
Peter glanced around the room nervously, his lips turning down to form a pout, as if he could predict your next move. Lucky for you, his spidey senses didnât seem to be keen enough for that, or you werenât sure heâd still be laying here willingly. Though the tent in his pants was proof enough heâd let his girlfriend try anything with him.
You leaned in, watching his pretty eyes flutter closed and his lips part, clearly expecting you to kiss him. A kinda evil smirk graces your own mouth. Much to his dismay, at the last second you avoid his face entirely and instead focus your attention on his left arm.
Peter exhales in disappointment. He opens his eyes to glance at you sideways. âD-donât tease me like thatâŚâ his voice is breathy, anticipation beginning to make his body squirm a bit underneath you.
You ignore his whining, carefully moving his arm to extend straight out, 90 degrees from his body. You slowly slide his sleeve down just a bit, as well as riding his glove up a fraction, to expose a few inches of his wrist.
Your intentions click in Peterâs head immediately. He whips his head to the side to look at you, nerves twisting his features. â..w-wait what are d-doing?â
You lightly place your pointer finger over his plush lips to quiet him. âShh.. I just wanna try something.â You purr sweetly.
âI-I donât know.. itâs weird and I donât understand it yet and I dââ he begins nervously blabbering, but before he can finish you give the lightest swipe over the barely visible slit in his wrist.
His whole body twitches. His breath hitches with a quiet and surprised âfuck!â
You continue caressing his wrist, passing over the slit and down the newly thick vein. With every touch, Peter shivers with concerning force, his face twisted into a hesitant expression of pleasure and disgust.
Mock sympathy crosses your features. âYou okay, Spidey?â
âGodâ I-it feels so weirdâ w-wait! Wait wait wââ
Peterâs hand spasms as a long, thick spurt of web shoots from his wrist.
âAgh! Shit.â He throws his head back, a mix of a groan and whimper bubbling from his throat. His face scrunches even more as his boner strains against the thin fabric. He turns to you, his eyes watery, assuming youâre done now.
But you donât stop. Your thumb is right back to swiping over his wrist, his vein now pulsing slightly. Peterâs arm trembles but you hold it still with your other hand.
âAww itâs okay baby.â You coo at him, now rubbing circles around the small slit. His fingers wonât stop tensing and twitching, just like the nonstop string of pathetic noises coming from him.
âP-please.â He begs. âItâs s-sensitive hah now.â
Though he doesnât make a move to stop you, only continues to writhe on your bed. So you keep going, pressing hard into his vein all the way up, as if to milk the web out of him. âYouâre being such a good boy.â You murmur.
Another spurt shoots out.
This one has more of an effect on him. His whole body shakes, hips jerking up, eyes blown wide as he moans. âFuck! Okay, okay. Weâre done now? I canâtââ
This time, you cut him off with your mouth. Your tongue eagerly runs down his vein and laps at the tiny slit.
A broken sound pierces the air as a third wave of web sprays out of him, much weaker than the first two.
You glance over at him, seeing a few tears run down his cheeks. âItâs too much. Itâs too much for me.â His entire body is flushed, shaking, and covered in a sheen layer of sweat.
âJust one more?â You innocently bat your eyelashes, pressing a sweet kiss to his jaw. âYouâre doing so good. You can handle it. Your body wouldnât make it if it wasnât meant to come out.â
Before he can answer, youâre back to his wrist. Your teeth come out this time, lightly nibbling on his vein. It only takes a few sucks and nips before a fourth wave is coming out. It weakly spurts from him, more oozing than anything. His eyes roll back with a cry.
Your mouth comes down, licking up the little blotches of web that finished trickling out. Even after his wrist is cleaned, though, you donât pull away.
He violently shudders. âOh god I t-think Iâm gonnaâ I think Iâm gonnaââ
His entire body convulses. Hips bucking frantically, head tossing around wildly, loud and pathetic whines and groans filling the bedroom air.
A huge glob of web sprays from his right hand, and you see the now damp spot in his crotch area where he must have cum in his pantsâŚ
But nothing came out of his left wrist.
He turns his attention to it the same time you do, a slightly pained expression on his face. âOh, fuck.â
You look him in the eye with a tilt of your head, grinning. âWhatâs wrong? Got nothing left in there?â
Your thumb comes down to his wrist again. He jerks, squeezing his eyes shut. âGah! Hah! Plea.. mm! I ca- ngh!â
You suppress a giggle at his inability to form a coherent thought.
After a few minutes his arm tenses and his hand clenches like it always does before a spray, but nothing comes out.
He groans, and this time it sounds like pain has finally outweighed pleasure. His eyebrows are drawn in and eyes screwed shut. His back is off the bed as he heavily pants.
You slide his glove back on all the way, pushing his hair off his sticky forehead. âWhat does it feel like?â You murmur.
He opens his eyes to look at you, gaze cloudy and lost. âLike my body wantsâ n-needs to shoot something out, but thereâs nothing for it to.â
You give him a light kiss on his nose bridge. âThat must be so hard.â You say, voice sympathetic, but thereâs a glint in your eyes at his completely fucked out state, one that you were the complete cause of.
Though he doesnât see the slightly evil look in your eye, as his eyes are shut again, focusing on his heavy breathing. He simply nods. âI-it is. I canât stand it. Itâs like being denied l-like air o-orââ
Your hand gently cups his cheek, thumb swiping the drying tears under his eyes. âThatâs just awful. Especially since I havenât finished your right arm yet.â

Please don't read this description until AFTER you've watched Brand New DAY!
After being taken into hiding by Spider-Man because a super-powered maniac mind controlled you, you discover a letter to you written by a Peter Parker.
Warnings: BRAND NEW DAY SPOILERS!!!!!!!! Angst, bad writing (I'm out of practice!)
Word count: 2.1k
Peter Parker. Peter Parker. Peter Parker.Â
That was Spider-Manâs real name. An entire city desperate to know the masked heroâs true identity and you have it in the palm of your hand.Â
All because he had once loved you.Â
Or so his letter says.Â
Hi, my name is Peter Parker, and you donât remember me, but I have...Â
An entire letter dedicated to you. Expressing love. Giving an explanation. Building a history. Yearning.Â
That youâre familiar with. For as long as you can remember, you were brought up on fairytales and fantasies of love and sacrifice, where the hero risks their life for the person they love, even if that means losing everything. Your bookshelves were filled to the brim with it.Â
And yet here it was in a crumbled letter.Â
You werenât meant to find it, and you certainly werenât looking for it, but it clicked a lot of things back into place. Like how someone named Jean Grey was after you despite your insignificance in this city, in this story.
But this, this was the connecting piece. Not just with Jean, not just with Spider-Manâs sudden interest in you, but for the crater that has been carving a home in your chest for a very long time.Â
Something had been missingâand if this Peter Parker is telling the truth then doesnât that explain it all? Even now, holding this heroâs lifeline in your hands, it feels as though your heart could explode out of your chest, and not from fear or the thought that he could be back any second.
But from the meaning behind it all.Â
The door to Frankâs boat creaks open and paint splashes of red and blue invade your vision.Â
He stops at the sight of your crestfallen faceâashen and nauseousâhe hasnât seen the letter yet, he doesnât have to.Â
âIs this some sick joke?â You ask, breaking the silence along with the past four years of your life. You canât see the way his eyes drop to the table and back to your faceâyou can only see the way he almost curls into himself. This international heroâone who has fought men bigger than him, with weapons bigger than him, received the key to the city after taking down more villains than a comic book arc. A man who fought against aliens, been to space, been in both battles against Thanos. But itâs this damn letter that has him cowering.Â
âWhere did you find that?â He asks, the words forced out against his will.Â
âAnswer the question,â your voice wavers in a way that surprises youâafter all, ten minutes ago you were adamant this wasnât real. And in an attempt to seek out the truth, you add: âPeter.â
His breath halts, the lines of his suit distorting with the interrupted breath. The air grows thick with danger, like this is not a truth you should uncover, and even the universe knows it. Peter. His name is Peter. Real.Â
âNo.â His voice matches yours, and you canât even take pleasure in this retribution.Â
Itâs true then. All of it. It shouldnât be. And in a universe where Gods didnât descend, aliens didnât invade every few years, it wouldnât betrueâjust a matter of fiction.Â
But this is that universe. And this is Peter Parker. Your Peter Parker, supposedly.Â
And yet itâs all too much, and you canât decide if itâs the boat rocking or your vision thatâs swaying.Â
This man once loved youâmore than his own happiness by the sound of it.Â
And you canât even remember who he is.Â
âNo,â you repeat, almost taunting. No, this is not a joke. No, I also canât breathe. No, I donât know what to do, those two letters seem to say. âTake the mask off⌠please.âÂ
He pulls back in a way that leaves you with questions and doubts. If you had once loved him as he had once loved you, then surely youâd have seen the man behind the mask.Â
âLet me see who Peter Parker is.âÂ
His hands hover at his neck, then the fabric drags against a strong chin, followed by thin lips and a rounded nose. Blood smeared across his cheeks. Then comes his hairâlight curls that give this super man gentleness. And only when he drops his hand back to his sideâthe one that had been blocking his upper-face, you see his eyes. The saddest eyes one could find on a person. Who was he and how much has he really lost?
You stand from the small, wooden table that is too low for your knees. The same one you had both mocked Frank for during the prior night when his chilli pot took up the entirety of it.Â
âPeter?â The name falls from your lips as you lift gentle hands to bloodied cheeksâjust an inch away. Too close for you; too far away for Peter. An inch away from the life youâve lived and never lived.Â
He calls your name outâbroken. Pushed out and so soft it could make you cry and you donât even know why. No one has ever looked at you like Peter has. No one. But this is practiced. Strong and unwavering in the wait itâs been since he found you. Since you found him, you suppose.Â
He really loved her.Â
Really loved you.Â
Not you, but you?
Your hands slap against your thighs as they fall, too terrified to touch a presence so intoxicating, and yet so strange. You wonder if Frank will return home to interrupt whatever collision of planets this is. Save you both from further destruction.
You swallow, but you donât step away and neither does he. âYou wrote this letter. You kept it for who knows how long. Months? A year?â
âFour years.âÂ
The collision of these planets finally rupturesânot from the gravitational pull of space, but from the pure hot, white rage you feel bubbling in your blood.Â
âFour. Four years. You wrote this four years ago. And you didnât evenâ Were you ever going to tell me?âÂ
âI was trying to protect you!â Suit-covered hands lift automatically, as if it to reach for you. As if there was a time when the two of you would fight, and even then, he would still love you enough to hold you through it.Â
âProtect me?â You shout. âIn the past twenty-four hours I have had some super-powered maniac control my mind and toss me off a building! Great protection there!âÂ
âI know. I know. Thatâs exactly why I had to do what I did. Everyone around Spider-Man gets hurt or they⌠theyâŚâ He struggles to get the words out and thereâs this intrinsic part of you that canât bear to see it. He doesnât have to finish the sentence for you to understand. You had almost died yourself last night.Â
You might not remember Peter, but you remember a time long ago. Four years ago, give or take a few months, when there was an attack on New York. Not unusual given the way the world works nowadays. But you remember being stranded by the Statue of Liberty after an attack, after nearly falling like you did last night. Was that the night you had seen each other for a final time? The night of a goodbye that was never followed with a promised hello?Â
âSo, what? You were just going to leave me withâŚthis?â You gesture to your chest, to the invisible dip that has been left there since that day. Therapists called it trauma, and in some ways it probably is. But just like Peter Parker, that feeling was nameless. And now itâs called loss.Â
How can you explain that to a man whoâs looking at you like heâll shatter if you touch himâone you still canât find that old feeling of love for.Â
âBut you didnât leave me, did you?â You push. âYou were at Nedâs party. You brought flowers. And even before that, right?âÂ
Silence.
âRight? Tell me Iâm wrong.âÂ
âWhat do you want from me?â He pleads, anger absent from his voice. His body slinks lower, like the weight of being Peter Parker and Spider-Man is catching up to him. Thereâs no version of this story with a happy ending. No version of this where true love conquers all. He knows that.
And all you know is that you canât do this.Â
âI want you to tell me itâs all a lie. I want you to tell me that Iâm wrong; that Iâve inserted myself in a story thatâs not mine.â Your hand slides back, searching for the silly, little table thatâs too inconsequential to hold your own weightâbut desperate to try anyways. Too overwhelmingâlike you might drown in Peter Parkerâs feelings. Like he might take you with him.Â
But all he says is: âI canât.â
Your knees threaten to buckle.
âItâs you,â he says. âItâs always been you.âÂ
You slam yourself back onto the wooden square, pressing yourself against it.Â
âDo you want the truth?â He asks, and you know itâs an out. You can stop this now. You can tell him no, and thatâll be the end of this conversation. But youâve been without the truth for so longâraved about deserving it in between the lines of questioning. Could you bear to be a hypocrite in the face of his anguish?Â
You nod.Â
He takes a steeling breath, looking around the small cabin and then at his deflated mask. Spider-Man was never just a costumeâitâs him, you realise. âI have been in love with you since we were sixteen years old. Probably even longer than thatâit took me a while to work up the courage to tell you.â He laughs bitterly, the irony of repeated mistakes haunting him. âI was your best friend for years, and even that wasnât enough. And no matter how many years I spent loving you, knowing you⌠It wasnât enough.âÂ
âStop.â Itâs a weak protest even to you.Â
âI made the toughest choice Iâve ever had to make, and I did it all for you. Blame me, hate me. Tell the world that Iâm Spider-Man, let them come. Just be in my life enough so I can keep breathing. Because thatâs the real truth. I gave you up and I had to learn that you are one thing I canât live without.â
Tears well up in the corner of your eyes, blurring Peter into his masked persona. Blue and red. It feels as though the tears are gathering in your chest, like they want to drown you from the inside out. It makes you think of those emergency procedures you see on doctor-drama showsâthe ones with a gazillion series and cast changesâwhere they shove a pen into someoneâs chest to relieve the tension.Â
Itâs too much. Itâs too much and heâs been carrying it around for four years. You can barely stand the forty minutes since you found the letter. Your avoidant eyes find his, and you see the same tears fill his brown eyesâthough your memories are divided, the atoms in your bodies know deep down they are the same.Â
You donât know when it happens, or how, or who moves firstâprobably you, with Peter letting you decide the termsâbut those precious atoms search for each other, drawing their physical masses closer and closer together.Â
Your hands find his shoulders, his hover at your waist as if to avoid crossing undrawn lines, and losing you all over again. Your eyes dart across his strong shoulders, all the way up to his mouth, his across your face, savouring every second he has you againâlike he had when Jean was in control. But this is really you, he knows that now.Â
Bodies push closer until your faces hover.Â
âYou donât have toââÂ
You shush him, lips slowly grazing his and the need almost kills you. And just when he finally finds the nerve to tug on your hips, mask abandoned to the ground, a sheer ringtone slices through the air like doom itself.Â
You both spring apart faster than you reached that destination, progress becoming stagnance. His face falls, and when you follow his gaze you see why: Paul is calling.Â
Paul.Â
Paul, your boyfriend.Â
Paul, your boyfriend who you forgot you even had in the past hour.
âI have toâŚâ You stumble both physically and audibly, desperate to stop that incessant tone. Heat floods your cheeks, shame buries your stomach in guilt. Youâve never been a cheater before, didnât think you could be.
âYeah,â he chokes.
âCan youââ
âYeah,â Peter Parker attempts a hopeful smile to match his voiceâone that says âitâs okayââ but both shake.Â

SERIES MASTERLIST
You grinned your teeth together as you glared at Harry who was already exiting the elevator into the lobby of Starkâs Industries.Â
What did he meant with âI mean, do you have to?â? It ranged on your ears as you dragged yourself from the elevator, following Harry who was carefree and unaware that he had upset you. You didnât know which annoyed you more, that he had said it or that he was completely oblivious that it had touched a nerve.Â
âWhat do you mean with that?â, you growled as he opened the door for you, not looking at you distracted by waving goodbye to the receptionist, Mark, that had a clear crush on him.
You pursed your lips, not because you were bothered by Harry being somehow nice to him, but because Harry wasnât even acknowledging you.Â
âWith what?â, Harry asked you, cocking his head to the side.Â
You watched him carefully as he answered, maybe he hadnât even meant it or he just didnât want to bring it up after hearing your tone.Â
You doubted yourself, a part of you wanted to bring it up because it seemed like an important thing to discuss. Being head of the Avengers would become your main activity for the next couple of years, you would go to college as well and then it would come second to being CEO of Stark Industries, but that would take a while. So, Harry had to be supportive.Â
But another part of you was scared, maybe he wouldnât support you and in the back of your mind, a small part of you was worried that if Harry didnât support you, he would show you that you had made the wrong choice.Â
So, you decided to restrain yourself.Â
âNothingâ, you shrugged as you walked through the streets of New York, putting on a smile. âSo, how has everything been with your father?â
âOhâ, Harry said as he lumbered, looking at the ground and you saw his face turning a bit slack. âI mean⌠he has been undoing a lot of what I did in his absenceâ, he explained and he tried to seem chill, but you recognized the pain in his voice.
âWhat?â, you cried in disbelief.Â
Harry had been killing himself over all the projects he had worked on while his father had snapped, you had been a witness of his hard work and dedication. Yes, he helped you with your non-profit but he still had his projects with his passion for bioengineering, with his goal of making an impact wherever he saw fit.Â
 âYes, the resources wouldnât simply manage to do both of our projects. So, he cut someâ, Harry shrugged while you still watched him with bulging eyes.Â
âWhich ones?â, your tone was dead, making Harry turned to you with a lopsided grimaced.
He sighed as he took a hold of your hand, lacing your fingers together.Â
âThe one that helped people in Japan?â, he fretted naturally.
It was as if he was mentally shrugging as if it was something that had to be accepted.Â
âAre you serious?â, you said with lingering annoyance on your voice.Â
It pained you to see him that way, you felt your cheeks growing hotter as time passed and you remember the times where he had told you he couldnât go to New York because of his projects, or the times when you would spend entire nights at his lab working on a new thing while you learn more about bioengineering by his side. Now, you knew for sure that Norman -as your father had said before meeting Harry- was a real asshole.Â
âYesâŚâ, Harry replied apprehensively, raising his eyebrows and pulling you into him. âBut he allowed to keep the ones regarding children and public healthâ, he said with a genuine smile. âI fought for thoseâ
You remained silent for a moment, watching your boyfriend carefully, analyzing his dark almond eyes and his features. How much could you intervene without being
too
much?Â
âStill, Iâm so sorryâ, you muttered. âYou know that you can transfer those programs to other companies, right?â
He stayed silent for a moment as he zoned out. Somehow, it didnât fit with the picture that you had of Harry. He always had something to say, he was always witty and surprisingly good at making conversation, confidence was his second name. But this version of him, you didnât know how to handle it and you didnât know if it was more trouble to actually speak on the situation or just remained silent. But then again, you were the daughter of Tony.Â
âIs there anything he did that you also wanted?â
Maybe it was a bit too forward and you shouldnât have gotten into it because it was none of your business. And honestly, you understood what was listening to your parentsâ wishes; You almost always listen to what Tony and Pepper had to say, maybe a bit too much for being a Stark but you knew that if you made a decision, they would respect it. You just wished it was the same for Harry.Â
You didnât hear him huffing at your reply and you didnât notice how he held a little bit tighter to your hand or his flashing eyes, so what he managed to say next really surprised you. You were still thinking about Norman Osborn and if there was some way you could move those programs to another company.Â
âHe wants to meet youâ
You stopped dead on your tracks, which made Harry turn back to you a little unsettled by your reaction. You could feel your face growing hot as your eyes connected with his.Â
In the time that you and Harry had dated -about a year or so- you had reached almost every milestone, for example, him meeting your family, you met his friends, saying the actual words âI love youâ, giving each other access (since everything was with AI) to each other homes, among others. He had always been nothing but perfect, a charming gentleman in every occasion.Â
But although you had gone through all of that together, you were not at all prepared to meet his father, it never even crossed your mind, not even when he came back. Â
âWhat?â
You couldnât believe it was your actual voice, it was wheezy and tight; which Harry picked-up immediately. You could see on his eyes how uncomfortable he was with your state and you hated yourself for it because it wasnât your intention to hurt him but you couldnât avoid thinking not only about the words of Tony about Norman before you went to Oscorp for the first time and also your current state of mind with Peter back in your life.Â
Harry nodded, âYes, I told him about you and he really wants to have dinner with you.â He said it slowly as he pulled you a little bit closer to him slowly and with a soft smile as if he was treating you like a scared bird that would fly away if he made any more sudden moves.Â
Your eyes went back to your hand holding his, gazing downwards. Something deep in you told you that maybe you didnât really want to meet Norman Osborn, maybe it was better off like this but how could you explain it to him? Without hurting his feelings.Â
âI-I, well itâs such a big stepâ, you cleared your throat as Harry watched you carefully. âAre you su-â
âYou are not sureâŚâ, Harry cut you off sternly as he cocked an eyebrow.Â
You could tell he was upset, you could see it on his sleek jaw, how tense he was and the way he was gazing at you, like as if he was trying to dig every little thought that went through your head to know what was happening in it. He did that usually when you were in a lab together, as he watched you worked and you hadnât become used to it because you felt on the spot; this time you liked it even less.Â
It was weird since it was something Peter often did, maybe it was the memory of Peter on the back of your mind that made you uncomfortable.Â
Before you could say anything trying to save the situation, he intervened.Â
âWhy didnât you tell me Peter Parker was back?â, he spat.Â
You felt as if cold water had been thrown over you, you shot your eyes up and somehow you felt your eye twitching at how he mentioned Peterâs name. Maybe it hit a little too close to home with your current status with Peter or maybe it was the way Harry had said his name that it stroked a chord on you.Â
âHow did you know he was back?â, you snapped while your eyebrows bumped together.Â
Harry sighed, he rolled his eyes and passed a hand through his sleek black hair, exhaling noisily through his pursed lips. He was trying to find the right words to bring this up, you could tell and you began tapping your foot impatiently, your lips tight in a fine line.Â
âI bumped into himâ, he finally said. âPepper needed to talk to him and we got into the elevator at the same timeâÂ
There was a beat of silence between the both of you, as your eyes linked together. Yes, you had talked about Peter a couple of times with Harry which usually ended in tears. Somehow Peter held such a personal and sacred place on your heart that you felt like you were disrespectful to his memory if you brought it up with Harry, sometimes it felt as if you were cheating completely on Peter. But you knew Harry wasnât dumb and you knew that by now Harry had done his research on Peter Parker, he mustâve seen all your photos with him, how his face was all over your houses, how you had been capture by paparazzi with him, your Instagram, everything.Â
So, the fact that he was bringing it up now⌠it felt like it was a big deal.Â
Before you could open your mouth, you heard a growl that shook the earth beneath you, and both Harry and you turned your heads to where it was coming from. Everyone around you doing the same, some running or walking a little bit faster to their destinations, or some others taking their phones out as the chaos ensued.Â
It was lower Manhattan and you felt right away the same electricity and jolt of adrenaline you used to feel years ago. It was almost automatic how your stand changed and how quickly you contacted HAPPYÂ Â
You tapped your earpiece quickly, âHAPPY, give me an updateâ.Â
Harry turned a little bit surprised as he heard you, but he was unable to speak.Â
âThereâs a situation at Brooklyn Bridge, Miss. Starkâ, the AI told you softly.
âY/NâŚâ
âI have to goâ, you said pressing a quick peck on his cheek and pressing the small charm on your necklace as if it was an instinct, allowing the nano-tech to spread across your body.Â
Thankfully, you had been working on your suit since the fight with Thanos and the hard work had paid off. It wasnât as bulky as before as you had worked to fit you nicely, even with your actual clothes rather than the ones that Tony had created to be more comfortable, it felt like a second skin.Â
People near you on the street seemed in awe as you transformed right in front of their eyes, kicking in the usual excitement that you felt when you wore your suit. You were no longer a girl, but a hero.Â
âWait, you had that com there the whole time?â
You shook your head laughing while your face began being covered by the nano-tech, then you activated your thrusters and they sent you off into the sky.Â
âHAPPY, whoâs coming?â, you said as overflew the city, finally locating the commotion coming from Brooklynâs Bridge and there was something, it was as if someone was pouring water continuously over it.Â
But no, it wasnât possible and as the steam cleared out while you got closer you saw it.Â
âWhat the hell?â, you whispered to yourself.Â
It was a water being? A water monster?
âMiss Stark, Sam, and Bucky already left on the quinjet to Europeâ, HAPPY informed you and you cursed mentally. âBut Mr. Parker is already on the sceneâ
As always, Peter seemed to be one step ahead of you and you remembered a time where it annoyed you, but right now you were glad you were doing this with him.Â
âOkay, tell KAREN to connect usâ, HAPPY didnât say anything and before you could blink you saw on your screen the saved photo for Peterâs profile.Â
âAre you here? Y/N?â, Peterâs voice sounded a little bit desperate and agitated as you landed in front of the bridge.Â
A few people were still running away and you tried to help some that fell, almost giving you a double-take since, at the end of the day, it seemed as if your father was there.Â
âYes, Iâm hereâ, you answered as you saw him swinging from one part of the bridge to another, as he webbed different cables and structures that were being attacked by the water being that growled once more. âDid you call first responders?â
âFirst thing I didâ, Peter gasped as he managed to dodge a stream of water, that seemed a bit too strong, managing to bend a bit of the metal. You rolled your eyes,
obviously, he did
. âAny idea of what to do?â
You flew over the being, as the water creature was continuously attacking Peter, who was dodging the shots of water coming from it. Your mind process how to even begin attacking him, what could you possibly throw at the water monster to defeat it?Â
Bullets? No, clearly not. Rockets? Possibly, it was fire. Canons? They can work. Flamethrower? yes.Â
âKeep him distracted, avoid damaging the bridge too muchâ
âOn itâ, he yelled over the com, as he gave the flips that only he knew how.
They were intricate enough to confuse the creature that shot a rapid number of streams where Peter had been, missing him continuously and giving you the chance to shoot your shot. Soon, you were shooting the first flames, causing the creature to let out a loud cry and making you his target. It roared in your face as he began shooting its long watery arms towards you, your eyes opened wide as you flew from left to right as you tried to avoid the tentacles to touch you, he wanted to drag you down on the river. Nonetheless, as if it had been yesterday, Peter was there to distract it when it got too close to you and it worked.Â
âHey, big guy!â, he shouted, making the creature turn around for a second. It was enough for you to fly over him and losing its sight on you.Â
Peter crawled through the towers of the bridge, jumping from them and then swinging between suspension cables as he avoided the shots of water that were now being fired towards him. But now you were there to back him up, you circled the creature, firing him as he was too busy trying to catch Peter with one of its streams or waves.Â
Once Peter felt too tired from swinging and avoiding the creature you entered into action to take away his notice on you, and then he did the same when it came too close to you. Honestly, it looked as if you had choreographed the fight, you were so in-sync that it felt as no time had passed and neither of you had to speak to know what the other one was doing next.Â
But soon you realized it was doing no-good.Â
âNothing itâs happening to it!â, you grumbled as you saw how a part of the creature was burned away but soon was patched by another stream of water.Â
âDonât you have any other trick on that suit?â, Peter asked a little bit annoyed.Â
You glared at him as you hovered above it, trying to avoid how he was trying to smash you. âItâs my first time fighting a
water monster
, what about yours?â, you snapped back at Peter who was crouched as he watched you from the other tower closer to Brooklyn.Â
Peter was glaring at your comment, you could tell and you turned around to watch him, the nano-tech disappearing for one second from your face so he could see your smile.Â
It was supposed to be one second but it was enough for it to catch you.Â
And as soon as you were going to answer, you felt the hard push thanks to the water stream on your back, knocking you out of the sky and sending your body through the air and crashing it into the river. You were somehow thankful that your helmet had managed to cover your face before crashing since it had driven you deep into the bottom of the river.Â
âOuchâ, was the only thing you managed to say.Â
The screen in front of you was red, signaling possible damages to your suit and body, which didnât surprise you.Â
âMiss Stark, you might have a concussion and a bruised spineâ, you closed your eyes for a second before trying to stand up and use your thrusters. âAnd I recommend getting out if the water, it appears that your suit had sustained some damagesâ, HAPPY said as you activated your thrusters.Â
âYou donât sayâ, you grumbled as you charged thrusters and they sent you into a wobbly path to the surface.Â
It didnât take long for you to reach the surface, the mask dropping from your face as you took a deep breath and found a rather weird scene.Â
It seemed like the golden lines that Doctor Strange and The Ancient One conjured with their hands but this was rather different, it had triangle symbols over it and it was
green
.Â
And there was this
guy,
conjuring them with its hands and effectively
hurting
the waterman.Â
âHAPPY, whoâs that?â
But before the AI could answer, you heard Peter on the com.Â
Peter felt sick as he saw your body helplessly crashing into the river. He tried firing some webs on your way but it was way too far for him to catch you and he panickily avoided the waterman as best as he could as he positioned himself under de bridge to see if he could find you.Â
âKAREN?â He muttered as his eyes frenetically looked for you. âWhereâs Y/N? Should I go down?â, he could feel the anxiety on his voice and it felt the same way when Thanos had threw you away.Â
âMiss Stark is coming upâ, Karen informed him and as if he had called your name, you appeared on the surface of the water. Taking a deep breath as your mask came off.Â
âY/N, thank godâ, Peter sighed as he hanged from under the bridge, upside down.Â
It seemed like he was looking for you and your heart thumped at the thought of Peter being worried about you.Â
Quickly, he fired his web shooter and the web caught you, he then began to pull you towards him from the water and you honestly let him. Your back was hurting and so was your head, you were thankful for the help. But not so thankful for the other guy that was keeping the water monster occupied as Peter pulled you out.Â
But your thoughts faded away as you got closer to Peter, who took your hand and pulled you in.Â
âPeter, Iâm -â,
Suddenly, he took a hold of your whole body, easily and pressed you against him as he climbed the side of the bridge quickly and laid you down on the ground. You winced as he let you on the floor, the nanotech being removed from your body as you coughed. By his agitated moves as he checked your whole body, you could tell he was worried although you couldnât really see his face.Â
âWhatâs hurting?â, Peter asked as he looked into your eyes, checking if the concussions were serious.Â
His hands were touching your face, holding it so close to him that it remained you to older times. It sent a jolt of warmth through your body, seeing that he still cared, after everything that had gone down between the two of you. You didnât know what Pepper had told him, but you were sure you had to thank her for it later because just by seeing his movements, you could feel that something had been lifted from him. So, you placed your hand over Peterâs who was holding your face, you could see how he tensed up for a second but then relaxed, a smile appear on your face and Peter was smiling under his mask as well.
But suddenly, another grumble filled the air and both of you turned your face to see the masked man fighting with the water being.Â
âWait, whoâs that?â, you asked as you began to stand-up while Peter did the same, your suit retracting from your body. Â
Peter really didnât know who the hell he was, but somehow it reminded him a little bit of your dad and how he usually ended up helping both of you, saving the day.Â
âI- I donât know but Iâm glad heâs hereâ, he muttered.
For some reason, the green mist was actually working and it seemed like it was making it weaker and weaker as the mysterious man surrounded it, conjuring green triangles with its hands. It seemed like magic, it really did seem like something Strange could do and somehow you internally cursed him for not appearing.Â
Wasnât he supposed to protect this dimension?
Now, you were not only mad with him about what had happened with Tony but you also felt your eyebrow twitching at the thought that he had sent an amateur magician to deal with an actual real danger that was threatening the city. Nowhere else ever you had faced a treat like this, you knew it by heart because a little bit before what happened with Thanos you had sneak with Peter to your fatherâs files and research about the many many threats earth had.Â
Nothing had warned you about the monster that seemed out of Avatar: The Last Airbender.Â
Suddenly, the man attacked the monster once again, and further away from the bridge, he conjured a whip made of the same dark green mist and managed to trapped the monster who growled as his water arms tried to reach him but they failed.Â
âHowâs he doing that? Who the hell is this guy?â, you snarled as you watched him carefully, limping a bit towards Peter who was watching the man closer to the edge of the bridge.Â
âI donât know but it seems to be workingâ, he muttered.Â
Peter was, in fact, impressed by the mysterious man that had managed to give him time to rescue you. He seemed like, somehow, a
real
hero. Those that appeared on the comic books that Peter used to read on his childhood. Somehow coming out from the meeting, with no Tony giving instructions and not holding your hand, made him nostalgic. But now, it seemed as if things could really be alright.Â
But on your other hand, there was something inside of you that didnât sit right with you as you watched the strange man wrapping green mist whips on the monsters wrist, quickly he tore the monster apart without much damage done to him and it seemed as if the monster hadnât even been there, only the mist of the water that quickly dissipated. The growls that had covered New York just a few seconds ago had become howls of hurt and defeat.Â
It was gone, it was easily gone and you didnât even know the guy who had done it.Â
This was for sure going to be a headache on your first day of being the head avenger. âHAPPYâ, you grumbled under your breath. âGet me everything you can find on this guy andâŚâ
Before you could continue you could see people coming close to the bridge and to the edge of the river, slowly but surely you could hear them
applauding
him and your stomach dropped.Â
It wasnât as if you were jealous
per se
, it was about losing the control that you had just acquired that very same day. You believed you had done it right; you were following Tonyâs footsteps and you were hoping deep inside your guts that you were actually doing the right thing. But now this man, who appeared out of nowhere, was being praised for only
one
fight.Â
And somehow it felt like it had erased what you had done and how Tony had prepared you.Â
Tony was the one that was usually applauded.Â
Peter turned around to see your face of defeat and annoyance, but he on the other hand was almost mystifying but what had just happened. Because the one that was usually applaud was your father and this man, who was now waving at people on a green cloud of smoke above the river, seemed like a good one to add to your group.Â
Still, he could see the pain on your face and his heart began beating faster as he tried to get close to you, not a lot since people were returning to the scene and he usually left so no one could see how close you actually were.Â
âY/N, we should leaveâ, he muttered as he fired a web to one of the towers of the bridge.Â
Your eyes linked with Peterâs mask, who before were stamped on the mysterious man that had quickly dissipated before you notice. You were fighting to keep your tears together, not because it was in front of Peter but because people were getting closer. You sniffed for a second as the few people that had come to recover their car began to stare at you and honestly, there was nothing more you wanted right now.Â
âDo you need a ride?â, a dead voice suddenly said.Â
You turned around, startled as you watch Nick Fury with crossed arms in front of you, Maria Hill from behind him and an obvious crew of SHIELD agents behind them with a black jeep. Doors were open and they were obviously waiting for you.Â
Before you could open your mouth, Peter spoke behind you as he walked in a protective manner towards Fury.Â
âShe needs to see Bruce, sheâs hurtâ, Peter stated with a gruff voice.Â
It wasnât that Peter didnât like Fury, but like when the Scorpion had hurt you and he had lost it, he needed you to be okay. It was compulsive almost how protective he got when it came to you and although years had passed for you, you felt your heart jumping on your chest as you saw how his muscles contracted and how his hand became fists.Â
But you werenât the same one and neither was Peter, you were head of the Avengers now and you were the one that had to protect everyone.Â
âDonât worry, Iâm okayâ, you replied as you placed a hand on Peterâs shoulder and limped a bit towards Fury. âYou can go now, though. I need to talk to Nickâ, you said with the annoyance lingering on your voice as you glared at Fury.
âWe were hoping
both
of you would comeâ, Maria stated as she walked towards both of you. âMay you please come with us?â
You glared at the black jeep with the other agents looking back at you and contemplated it for a moment. You looked back at Peter who was already looking at you, checking in to see if you were okay with this.Â
He could sense how tense you were; he could listen to how your heart was going crazy at the moment but he could also see in your eyes the spark of defiance he knew very well.Â
âThis better not take all dayâ, you muttered as you walked towards the jeep, limping a bit but trying to ignore the pain.Â
You could hear Peterâs steps behind you and the rest of the SHIELD crew moving to transport you to, what you supposed would be, a secret base in New York that you probably didnât know about. You entered the vehicle, ignoring the pain on your ribs and glaring at anyone that crossed your path. This meant something, that Fury had been at the exact same time that this asshole had defeated the water monster and that they had caught up to you and Peter just before you were about to leave?
Something didnât fit and you were determined to know Furyâs ulterior motives, which he always had.Â
Nevertheless, your thoughts faded away as Peter took his mask off and shook his curly brunette soft hair to make it look normal again.Â
It was immediate how your cheeks grew warm and somehow, you eased up and you didnât know if he noticed but with everything going on at the moment, you didnât care. Peter, on the other hand, did notice but he didnât really want to pay much attention, turning his head and looking around, trying to remain somehow alert on his surroundings but also being clearly clueless about what this was about.Â
The car ride was silent, neither of you spoke a word but you could still feel the shift on the air because if you really wanted to talk to Peter, you felt like he wouldnât shut you down anymore.Â
Which you felt really thankful for but you still decide that for the moment you should keep it to yourself. You were known for being the queen of limits and keeping things to yourself, you knew that you couldnât force Peter for the moment to be okay with you and if he wanted to talk to you, he would. So, you just left your unspoken truce to dwell while you were driven through New York. Â
Either way, it didnât take long for you to get to the secret base, it was underground as you had suspected and you could feel Furyâs eye-burning you while you tapped your phone as you tried to find out where the hell you were, silently asking HAPPY to scan the place, quickly taking on your hand one of the chips that were used to recollect information by hacking any system that Tony had created. This was the same way he had found out about what SHIELD wanted to do with the Tesseract, you just wished SHIELD hadnât reinforced their system since.Â
âThis wayâ, Fury stated as you both followed his step and Mariaâs down a cold metal hallway that ended in a rather small room with high tech around you, where multiple agents were working in small tables, giving coordinates and controlling the recent event, how was it going to be portrayed in the media and more.Â
You scanned the room, trying to find anything strange or unusual and as you thought about it you stopped dead on your tracks while the man in front of you turned around with a rather hooded sight but other than that he was perfectly dressed and styled; as if he was one of the heroes in a movie that could do whatever he wanted and not a single hair was moved from his place.Â
It didnât sit right for you.
âThis is Quentin Beckâ, Fury presented as the man, now Beck approached you.Â
âBut you can call me Quentinâ, his fruity voice catching you by surprise, then he offered his hand.Â
You stayed silent as you shook his hand with a little bit more strength than usual, your eyes fixated on him as you tried to read into this guy.Â
He seemed
normal
, nothing out of place and some could say he was actually a good looking guy, he was tall and his jaw was accompanied by a well-groomed beard, his body seemed to be molded by the gods -at least, with his ridiculous suit it seemed like it- and he had a good tight-lip smile but there was something in his blue electric eyes that made you uncomfortable. See, it wasnât exactly the color that triggered something or the way they were surrounded by deep dark circles that you also had come to know but they seemed
intense and cold
,
inflexible.
His sclera was clearly visible above and below his iris, it was as if he was glaring wide-eyed at you.Â
There was a drop of
something
on them, something
unstable.Â
âThese are Stark and Parkerâ, Fury stated as Beck let go of your hand but remained to look at you for a moment.Â
 âYou handled yourself well out there today. I saw what you both were doingâ, Beck said softly to both of you, as Peter held out his hand for him to shake it. âWe could use someone like you on my worldâ, he said talking directly to Peter.
Peter felt his chest filling with pride and a soft smile appeared on his face while you, on the other hand, frowned.Â
âIâm sorry, your world?â
âMr. Beck if from Earth, just not oursâ, Fury explained as they walked you to a large table in the center of the room which had multiple holograms above it.Â
âThere are multiple realities. This is Earth 616 but Iâm personally from Earth 833â, Beck followed as Peterâs eyes opened like plates while you focused on the holograms.Â
âItâs just theoreticalâ, you huffed but Peter continued.
âThat completely changes how we understand the initial singularity. Weâre talking about an internal inflation system and how does that even work with all the quantum-â, Peterâs voice died down when he realized everyone was looking at him, unamused. âS-sorryâ
âDonât ever apologize for being the smartest one in the roomâ Beck said quickly with a smirk and a wink, making Peter smile again.Â
Peter felt his chest puffing again and there was a familiar sense that also felt when he trained alongside Tony or manage to figure out something with him in the lab. Peter throughput his life wasnât really confident, not even after he got his powers and became an Avenger; it was Tony that had been the one who planted that seed of confidence in him. So, to hear Beck saying something of that nature, it made him glad.Â
You rolled your eyes and you quickly intervened, crossing your arms. âSo, what does he have to do with these beings?â, you asked Fury.Â
âThey came from his planet and after the snap, it seemed like something shifted in our realitiesâ, Maria Hill explained to you, you could feel her giving you a look.Â
âSo, what do we have to know about these beings?â, Peter interrupted
âThey were born in stable orbits within black holes. Creatures formed from the primary elements and we just called them Elementalsâ; Quentin explained. âThey first materialized on my earth many years ago. We mobilized and fought them, but with time they only grew and got stronger. I was part of the last battalion left trying to stop them, but the destruction was inevitableâ
âAnd now they are here, trying to do the same as they did on your planet?â, Peter asked.Â
Quentin gazed at Peter with a brooding expression and nodded. âBut with your help, I think I can stop them. I manage to eliminate the Water Elemental today and last week we manage to eliminate the Sand Elementalâ
âThe attacks are imminent and Mr. Beck here believes that with your help on further attacks we can save the earth. He will lead us to save the earth on- â
 âFury, may I have a word with youâ, you stated sharply, interrupting Fury.Â
Everyone bug-eyed for your lack of subtlety but you didnât care at the moment. You could feel Beckâs eyes burning you, as well as Peterâs but you didnât flinch a bit. Still, your eyes locked with Furyâs eye.Â
He cleared his throat as he looked at Beck. âWe have to deal with our plan next, Starkâ, he seemed like he was going to continue.Â
You could swear your eyes rolled so back into your skull that your eyes looked white for a second. It was unbelievable how you were supposed to be in charge of this type of thing and the representation of the Avengers but you had to put all your trust into an unstable guy who
no one
knew and claimed that he was the
only
one to defeat these beings that were threatening earth? How stupid could that sound?
It was infuriating and it was so much more infuriating that you were being looked over and asked to be in a second seat.Â
âHow could you not tell me about this guyâ, you snapped as you slapped the desk.Â
Everyone stopped talking and turned around to look at you, even the agents working around and you could feel how Peter immediately took a step closer to you.Â
âMy name is Quentinâ, Beck intervened, seeming a little bit upset about how you referred to him but it was the least of your concerns what he thought of you or whether he was offended.Â
âLiterally, nobody caresâ, you replied as you glared at him for a second and turned back to Fury.Â
It left Beck a bit stunned and also Peter, who didnât really know if he should slap his face or give you a look that he often gave you when you step a little bit out of line.Â
âFollow me, Starkâ, Fury sighed, clearly losing his patience, as he walked towards the hallway where you had entered, you followed him swiftly.Â
If it was the time to state your authority, then it shall because you werenât about to give this up that easily and you had a responsibility, not only to the world but to your father as well.Â
Once the door closed behind you, Fury began stealthy expression. âStark, I understand you might be upset but Iâm not only helping you run the avengers but more things are happening and as threats rise, so do the heroesâ,Â
âAnd like the one in the position, as you clearly stated, that you put me in, I should know about recruits. Especially someone you claim can save the earth! I shouldâve been informed of these attacksâ, you growled back, brows knitted together in a frown.Â
âHeâs not like one of those recruits, I canât disclose itâ, Fury replied, talking through his teeth.Â
It was clear that he wasnât backing down either, that Fury had decided to shut you out of this and that he took the decision on his own. He wasnât even planning to tell you and that what had happened today and your involvement on it was merely circumstantial.Â
But this was not the way you were going to work; this was not how you were planning to spend the next years of your life; always watching your back and being careful with who you worked with and fearing that someone might take your place if you didnât prove you were good enough.Â
That was not your life.Â
âHow the hell do you want me to run the Avengers without being able to trust the people I have to work with?â, you stated gravelly.Â
Fury shut his mouth into a tight lip as he glared at you. It seemed like an eternity passed, both locking eyes and struggling to see who would stand down.Â
Finally, he sighed. âFine, Iâll tell you anything that concerns or affects your leadership on the Avengersâ, Fury stated. âSee? Iâm nice like thatâ
But you remained with a deadpan expression because nothing so good would come that easily from Fury. You knew it by heart because although SHIELD would do the right thing, there would always be collateral damage or some unsuspecting exchange of favors.Â
âIn exchange for what?â
âWorking with Beckâ
You sighed and look back at the door thinking about Beck, you didnât trust him. There was something on him that didnât sit right with you, which cause you to be even more hesitant about this whole thing. There was a time your dad told you to always follow your instinct but this time you were at crossed roads and you didnât know what to trust.Â
But it seemed like Peter did.Â
âSo, your girlfriend is lovelyâ, Beck muttered as he got close to Peter who was anxiously gazing at the door, waiting for you to come back.Â
He knew you were upset and his body was aching to hold you and tell you that it was going to be fine. But he knew it wasnât his place and he was even surprised by how sudden he let go of his grudge. The thing was that when he fought with you, such in sync like you did before when he was so close to you to the point that he could hear your heartbeat; he felt that those two seconds of nothingness that still haunted him were completely gone along with all the loses suffer from Thanos.Â
But then again, you and he werenât together anymore.Â
âOh no, sheâs not my -uhm-noâ, Peter muttered as he tried to explain this beyond complicated situation but once he turned around, he saw Beck giving him a look, raising his eyebrows with a smile.Â
He seemed good-natured.Â
And it made Peter feel at ease.Â
âDonât worry about it, kidâ, Beck replied as he placed a hand on Peterâs shoulders and gave him a comforting squeeze âIt was a great work what you did today, on that bridgeâ
Peter gave him a nod and gave him a dimpled smile.Â
âThan- Thanksâ
 âSeriously, Iâve never seen someone doing those moves. Not even in my dimensionâ, he said with his gazed unfocused. It seemed as if he tried to recall sometime in the past, maybe lost battles against the elementals.Â
So, Peter remembered once again his origin, which distracted him completely from you.Â
âI canât believe that! You come from this Earth with so much technology and science. I bet your scientist were incredibly smart, including youâ, Peter exclaimed with a broad grin.Â
âYeah, but I have to tell you, kid, you got something that I havenât seenâ
Peter felt his chest getting warm and shook his head.Â
âNo, Iâm a big fan of what you did todayâ, Peter replied as he tangled in a conversation with Beck.Â
He was so into it that he didnât even notice when you passed through the door, sulking after you had agreed with Fury about working with Beck to deal with this. You hoped that maybe this had passed, you could find a way to get him to another dimension since you didnât want him sticking around if you were being honest.Â
Before you could interrupt them, you felt Fury taking advantage of you and going to talk to them, so you thought it was the perfect chance as you got closer to the table with the hacker chip and place it under without anyone watching you. It was subtle and you smiled to yourself, but your smile quickly faded away as you saw how Peter was looking at Beck: his dilated pupils and his dimpled smile. It worried you because that kind of look, it only appeared when Tony was around, not even with Cap. It just transmitted such a close-knit relationship between Tony and him that it was strange for you to see him this excited by someone. It worried you even more how Quentin Beck was, he was full of himself and that egocentrically smirk with his all-powerful stand made him want to vomit, he had a big ego and you could see.
