Space Girl [P.Parker]

chapter 21

Later in the Hotel room, Peter sat on his hotel bed while Luna paced around.

"You brought your suit?"

"Peter, I know you're mad. But I just wanted to—"

"Of course I'm mad, Luna! You told me you weren't going to bring it and that we could finally get a break!"

"Superheros don't get breaks." Luna shook her head. 

"I knew I shouldn't have trusted you. You don't care about what I say. Honestly, I should have known. You were wearing long sleeves all day." Peter scoffed.

"I don't care about what you say? I hope you're joking, Peter." Luna stopped pacing. She crossed her arms.

 "You always think you're better than everyone else. You don't need to be a hero every chance you get!" Peter continued.

Luna furrowed her eyebrows. She sighed, and looked off to the side to avoid crying. "If anything, you never listen to me anymore. No one does." Luna muttered. "I don't understand why you've been so different lately. I mean— Peter, you know I love you. I tell you all the time. But, you never say it back. I don't understand what changed. You used to say it all the time, too." Luna's tearful eyes looked directly into Peter's.

"You don't know what it feels like to lose everyone in your life, Luna." Peter argued. "You don't know how I feel."

"You're telling me I don't know about loss? I think you're forgetting that I don't even have real parents, Peter. And I lost Tony just as much as you did." Luna defended. She was more hurt than she was angry.

Peter remained silent. He looked down at the floor.

"Well? You clearly have a lot to say, so say it." Luna continued with her arms crossed.

 "I saw you with Brad." Peter mumbled.

"I saw you with MJ." Luna stated calmly. 

"He gave you flowers." Peter looked back up from the floor. He seemed to be forcing back some tears as well.

"Peter, you seriously can't trust me?" A single tear slipped out of Luna's eye. She quickly reached up to wipe it away.

Peter sighed. Once again, there was no response.

 "You know what? Fine. You can go on your stupid vacation, but clearly, there's something going on, and everyone is in danger. And I'm gonna get to the bottom of it." Luna shook her head.

She turned around, and made her way towards the door. "Luna.." Peter spoke up quietly. She ignored him, and shut the door on her way out.

Just as she exited, she was pulled off to the side. She screamed, but her mouth was covered by a hand. Her eyes were shut, but when she opened them, her eyes met with a dark brown eye, the other was covered by a patch.

"Nick Fury?" Lune mumbled through his hand in shock.

 "You and Parker are very difficult to reach." Nick Fury said in an intimidating tone.

"You never even tried to call me." Luna argued, her voice was still muffled by the man's hand. 

"What?" Fury furrowed his eyebrows, unable to understand her. He removed his hand.

 Luna sighed. "It's not my fault Peter never answered."

"Trust me, if I could have reached you, I would have." Fury stated. 

"Then, what happened?" Luna cocked an eyebrow. 

"Has someone else used your phone since I called Parker the first time?" He questioned.
