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 Peter’s 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. 

“How did you know he was back?”, you snapped while your eyebrows bumped together. 

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. 

“I bumped into him”, he finally said. “Pepper needed to talk to him and we got into the elevator at the same time” 

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 wasn’t dumb and you knew that by now Harry had done his research on Peter Parker, he must’ve 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. 

So, the fact that he was bringing it up now… it felt like it was a big deal. 

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. 

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 HAPPY  

You tapped your earpiece quickly, “HAPPY, give me an update”. 

Harry turned a little bit surprised as he heard you, but he was unable to speak. 

“There’s a situation at Brooklyn Bridge, Miss. Stark”, the AI told you softly.

“Y/N…”

“I have to go”, 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. 

Thankfully, you had been working on your suit since the fight with Thanos and the hard work had paid off. It wasn’t 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. 

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. 

“Wait, you had that com there the whole time?”

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. 

“HAPPY, who’s coming?”, you said as overflew the city, finally locating the commotion coming from Brooklyn’s Bridge and there was something, it was as if someone was pouring water continuously over it. 

But no, it wasn’t possible and as the steam cleared out while you got closer you saw it. 

“What the hell?”, you whispered to yourself. 

It was a water being? A water monster?

“Miss Stark, Sam, and Bucky already left on the quinjet to Europe”, HAPPY informed you and you cursed mentally. “But Mr. Parker is already on the scene”

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. 

“Okay, tell KAREN to connect us”, HAPPY didn’t say anything and before you could blink you saw on your screen the saved photo for Peter’s profile. 

“Are you here? Y/N?”, Peter’s voice sounded a little bit desperate and agitated as you landed in front of the bridge. 

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. 

“Yes, I’m here”, 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. “Did you call first responders?”

“First thing I did”, 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

.  “Any idea of what to do?”

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? 

Bullets? No, clearly not. Rockets? Possibly, it was fire. Canons? They can work. Flamethrower? yes. 

“Keep him distracted, avoid damaging the bridge too much”

“On it”, 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. 

“Hey, big guy!”, 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. 

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. 

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. 

But soon you realized it was doing no-good. 

“Nothing it’s happening to it!”, you grumbled as you saw how a part of the creature was burned away but soon was patched by another stream of water. 

“Don’t you have any other trick on that suit?”, Peter asked a little bit annoyed. 

You glared at him as you hovered above it, trying to avoid how he was trying to smash you. “It’s my first time fighting a

water monster

, what about yours?”, you snapped back at Peter who was crouched as he watched you from the other tower closer to Brooklyn. 

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. 

It was supposed to be one second but it was enough for it to catch you. 

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. 

“Ouch”, was the only thing you managed to say. 

The screen in front of you was red, signaling possible damages to your suit and body, which didn’t surprise you. 

“Miss Stark, you might have a concussion and a bruised spine”, you closed your eyes for a second before trying to stand up and use your thrusters. “And I recommend getting out if the water, it appears that your suit had sustained some damages”, HAPPY said as you activated your thrusters. 

“You don’t say”, you grumbled as you charged thrusters and they sent you into a wobbly path to the surface. 

It didn’t 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. 

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

. 

And there was this

guy,

conjuring them with its hands and effectively

hurting

the waterman. 

“HAPPY, who’s that?”

But before the AI could answer, you heard Peter on the com. 

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. 

“KAREN?” He muttered as his eyes frenetically looked for you. “Where’s Y/N? Should I go down?”, he could feel the anxiety on his voice and it felt the same way when Thanos had threw you away. 

“Miss Stark is coming up”, 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. 

“Y/N, thank god”, Peter sighed as he hanged from under the bridge, upside down. 

It seemed like he was looking for you and your heart thumped at the thought of Peter being worried about you. 

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. 

But your thoughts faded away as you got closer to Peter, who took your hand and pulled you in. 

“Peter, I’m -”,

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 couldn’t really see his face. 

“What’s hurting?”, Peter asked as he looked into your eyes, checking if the concussions were serious. 

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 didn’t 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 Peter’s 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. 

“Wait, who’s that?”, you asked as you began to stand-up while Peter did the same, your suit retracting from your body.  

Peter really didn’t 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. 

“I- I don’t know but I’m glad he’s here”, 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. 

Wasn’t 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 father’s files and research about the many many threats earth had. 

Nothing had warned you about the monster that seemed out of Avatar: The Last Airbender. 

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. 

“How’s he doing that? Who the hell is this guy?”, you snarled as you watched him carefully, limping a bit towards Peter who was watching the man closer to the edge of the bridge. 

“I don’t know but it seems to be working”, he muttered. 

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. 

But on your other hand, there was something inside of you that didn’t 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 hadn’t 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. 

It was gone, it was easily gone and you didn’t even know the guy who had done it. 

This was for sure going to be a headache on your first day of being the head avenger. “HAPPY”, you grumbled under your breath. “Get me everything you can find on this guy and…”

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. 

It wasn’t 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 Tony’s 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. 

And somehow it felt like it had erased what you had done and how Tony had prepared you. 

Tony was the one that was usually applauded. 

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. 

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. 

“Y/N, we should leave”, he muttered as he fired a web to one of the towers of the bridge. 

Your eyes linked with Peter’s 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. 

“Do you need a ride?”, a dead voice suddenly said. 

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. 

Before you could open your mouth, Peter spoke behind you as he walked in a protective manner towards Fury. 

“She needs to see Bruce, she’s hurt”, Peter stated with a gruff voice. 

It wasn’t that Peter didn’t 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. 

But you weren’t the same one and neither was Peter, you were head of the Avengers now and you were the one that had to protect everyone. 

“Don’t worry, I’m okay”, you replied as you placed a hand on Peter’s shoulder and limped a bit towards Fury. “You can go now, though. I need to talk to Nick”, you said with the annoyance lingering on your voice as you glared at Fury.

“We were hoping

both

of you would come”, Maria stated as she walked towards both of you. “May you please come with us?”

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. 

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. 

“This better not take all day”, you muttered as you walked towards the jeep, limping a bit but trying to ignore the pain. 

You could hear Peter’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t fit and you were determined to know Fury’s ulterior motives, which he always had. 

Nevertheless, your thoughts faded away as Peter took his mask off and shook his curly brunette soft hair to make it look normal again. 

It was immediate how your cheeks grew warm and somehow, you eased up and you didn’t know if he noticed but with everything going on at the moment, you didn’t care. Peter, on the other hand, did notice but he didn’t 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. 

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 wouldn’t shut you down anymore. 

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 couldn’t 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.  

Either way, it didn’t take long for you to get to the secret base, it was underground as you had suspected and you could feel Fury’s 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 hadn’t reinforced their system since. 

“This way”, Fury stated as you both followed his step and Maria’s 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. 

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. 

It didn’t sit right for you.

“This is Quentin Beck”, Fury presented as the man, now Beck approached you. 

“But you can call me Quentin”, his fruity voice catching you by surprise, then he offered his hand. 

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. 

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 wasn’t 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. 

There was a drop of

something

on them, something

unstable. 

“These are Stark and Parker”, Fury stated as Beck let go of your hand but remained to look at you for a moment. 

 “You handled yourself well out there today. I saw what you both were doing”, Beck said softly to both of you, as Peter held out his hand for him to shake it. “We could use someone like you on my world”, 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. 

“I’m sorry, your world?”

“Mr. Beck if from Earth, just not ours”, Fury explained as they walked you to a large table in the center of the room which had multiple holograms above it. 

“There are multiple realities. This is Earth 616 but I’m personally from Earth 833”, Beck followed as Peter’s eyes opened like plates while you focused on the holograms. 

“It’s just theoretical”, you huffed but Peter continued.

“That completely changes how we understand the initial singularity. We’re talking about an internal inflation system and how does that even work with all the quantum-”, Peter’s voice died down when he realized everyone was looking at him, unamused. “S-sorry”

“Don’t ever apologize for being the smartest one in the room” Beck said quickly with a smirk and a wink, making Peter smile again. 

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 wasn’t 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. 

You rolled your eyes and you quickly intervened, crossing your arms. “So, what does he have to do with these beings?”, you asked Fury. 

“They came from his planet and after the snap, it seemed like something shifted in our realities”, Maria Hill explained to you, you could feel her giving you a look. 

“So, what do we have to know about these beings?”, Peter interrupted

“They were born in stable orbits within black holes. Creatures formed from the primary elements and we just called them Elementals”; Quentin explained. “They 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 inevitable”

“And now they are here, trying to do the same as they did on your planet?”, Peter asked. 

Quentin gazed at Peter with a brooding expression and nodded. “But 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 Elemental”

“The 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- ”

 “Fury, may I have a word with you”, you stated sharply, interrupting Fury. 

Everyone bug-eyed for your lack of subtlety but you didn’t care at the moment. You could feel Beck’s eyes burning you, as well as Peter’s but you didn’t flinch a bit. Still, your eyes locked with Fury’s eye. 

He cleared his throat as he looked at Beck. “We have to deal with our plan next, Stark”, he seemed like he was going to continue. 

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. 

“How could you not tell me about this guy”, you snapped as you slapped the desk. 

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. 

“My name is Quentin”, 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. 

“Literally, nobody cares”, you replied as you glared at him for a second and turned back to Fury. 

It left Beck a bit stunned and also Peter, who didn’t 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. 

“Follow me, Stark”, Fury sighed, clearly losing his patience, as he walked towards the hallway where you had entered, you followed him swiftly. 

If it was the time to state your authority, then it shall because you weren’t about to give this up that easily and you had a responsibility, not only to the world but to your father as well. 

Once the door closed behind you, Fury began stealthy expression. “Stark, I understand you might be upset but I’m not only helping you run the avengers but more things are happening and as threats rise, so do the heroes”, 

“And 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 should’ve been informed of these attacks”, you growled back, brows knitted together in a frown. 

“He’s not like one of those recruits, I can’t disclose it”, Fury replied, talking through his teeth. 

It was clear that he wasn’t backing down either, that Fury had decided to shut you out of this and that he took the decision on his own. He wasn’t even planning to tell you and that what had happened today and your involvement on it was merely circumstantial. 

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 didn’t prove you were good enough. 

That was not your life. 

“How the hell do you want me to run the Avengers without being able to trust the people I have to work with?”, you stated gravelly. 

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. 

Finally, he sighed. “Fine, I’ll tell you anything that concerns or affects your leadership on the Avengers”, Fury stated. “See? I’m nice like that”

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. 

“In exchange for what?”

“Working with Beck”

You sighed and look back at the door thinking about Beck, you didn’t trust him. There was something on him that didn’t 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 didn’t know what to trust. 

But it seemed like Peter did. 

“So, your girlfriend is lovely”, Beck muttered as he got close to Peter who was anxiously gazing at the door, waiting for you to come back. 

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 wasn’t 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. 

But then again, you and he weren’t together anymore. 

“Oh no, she’s not my -uhm-no”, 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. 

He seemed good-natured. 

And it made Peter feel at ease. 

“Don’t worry about it, kid”, Beck replied as he placed a hand on Peter’s shoulders and gave him a comforting squeeze “It was a great work what you did today, on that bridge”

Peter gave him a nod and gave him a dimpled smile. 

“Than- Thanks”

 “Seriously, I’ve never seen someone doing those moves. Not even in my dimension”, he said with his gazed unfocused. It seemed as if he tried to recall sometime in the past, maybe lost battles against the elementals. 

So, Peter remembered once again his origin, which distracted him completely from you. 

“I can’t believe that! You come from this Earth with so much technology and science. I bet your scientist were incredibly smart, including you”, Peter exclaimed with a broad grin. 

“Yeah, but I have to tell you, kid, you got something that I haven’t seen”

Peter felt his chest getting warm and shook his head. 

“No, I’m a big fan of what you did today”, Peter replied as he tangled in a conversation with Beck. 

He was so into it that he didn’t 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 didn’t want him sticking around if you were being honest. 

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.

You didn’t like it.
