Peter's Protector

{14} i do need you

Peter's pov:

I was climbing up the monument as fast as I possibly could. "The occupants are in imminent moral danger. The security systems are failing," Karen warned me.

I groan, swinging and running up, "How much time do I have?"

"The safety measures failed, the elevator is now free falling-wait." Karen pauses.

"What is it?" I panic. No no no! Please be okay.

"There's some sort of energy field holding the elevator up, preventing it from falling," Karen observes.

"That's (Y/n)!" I nearly yell, she really is amazing...but how long can she hold it?

Your pov:

I was still hidden behind Ned, hoping no one notices the glow of my hands. The tour guides were quickly pulling everyone out, and Liz was next. The movement made it much harder, the weight on my shoulders was almost unbearable. Flash pushes Liz out of the way, trying to get out before her.

"Flash seriously? What are you doing?" Ned questioned.

"Come on! Grab my trophy!" He only stated, ignoring all of us.

He quickly jumps out, too quickly. I look down towards my hands, the glow was starting the fade. Crap. My shield is cracking! The elevator shook, and I gasped, trying to hold on as long as I could.

I could faintly make out someone yelling 'break' outside before hearing the glass shattering sound of my force field completely breaking. I gasp, the weight no longer on my shoulders as we fall. The elevator makes a horrible sound as we descend and I fear for the worst. That was until everything stopped. We were all sent flying forwards and backwards, I hit the ground falling onto my hands and knees. We all looked at each other, smiling and chuckling. "Oh my god we're alive!" Ned cheered.

As his words left his mouth we were sent flying down again. Spoke too soon. Still on my hands and knees I desperately grip onto the floor of the elevator, please work. The familiar glow came once more as I did my best to form an absolute solid shield under the elevator, stopping us again. I was panicking too much to care if the others could see me, and too much to notice Spidey falling from up above. He hits the elevator floor harshly, as I look up in shock, "Spider-Man?"

He looks towards me, as a sigh of relief escapes his lips. I smile at him, he's here! But my loss of concentration made my force field shatter and fade away once more. Acting fast, the arachnid shot a web at the ceiling finally stopping us.
He looked down at us, "Um hey?" He deepened his voice, "Hey, how are you doing? Don't worry, I got you all."

I try not to laugh at his attempts in changing his voice as he sends a subtle wink towards me. I feel my face reddening, I smile towards him once more and wink back towards him. Spidey begins pulling us back up, the group celebrating. We finally reach the upper floor, everyone rushing to get out. I let everyone out before me, making their safety my priority. Ned looks back towards me, "come on (Y/n)."

I step forward, only to find there's no floor underneath me anymore. My hair swishes around me as I fall down, I look up towards Peter as I reach out to him.

He tries to grab my hand but misses, quickly webbing my palm instead. "I got you!" He breathes out, "I got you..." he says again, this time more relieved.

He gently pulls me up, letting me step up onto the floor. Once I'm safe and sound, I look up towards him again, "I knew you'd never let me fall," I smile.

Peter's pov:

"I knew you'd never let me fall," she said, each word plucking a string of my heart, creating a beautiful song. Words cannot express how much I adore this girl.

"This is your chance Peter...kiss her," Karen suggests.

I...

Before I could lean in or do anything I fall.

Second person's pov:

You looked down after him, hoping he was okay. Your heart was beating a mile a minute; whether it was from your near death experience or from Spidey, you weren't sure. Suddenly you were pushed aside, "Are you really friends with Peter Parker?" Flash yelled.

"Okay everyone let's get out of here," Mr. Harrington said, pulling us away from the scene.

—————

You all walked into the hotel, and Peter was waiting there anxiously. "Peter?" you call out to him.

He quickly rushed to you, pulling you into a tight hug. "I-I'm so glad you're okay!"

Ned walked up behind you guys, "oh I'm fine too. Thanks for asking Peter."

"Come on! You're our guy in the chair! I knew you'd be just fine!" Peter nudges Ned.

Mj walks up to you, "hey, I'll be in the room, see you later?"

You smile, "see you then."

You turn back to Peter, "can we...can we talk?"

—————

You were sitting on the roof, next to the glass ceiling of the pool, it's blue hues casting a beautiful glow on everything. You took a deep breath in, "Peter, why did you lie and go without me?"

"(Y/n) I..." Peter began.

"What? You what?" you let out a breath, "what if you got hurt? Or worse killed? What then?"

"And what if that happened to you?" Peter suddenly raises his voice, it slightly cracking as he softly repeats, "...what if that happened to you?" He looked down, "look, I'm sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing and I was wrong. I just...I don't want you to get hurt."

You gently put your hand on his shoulder, "And I won't, because we can protect each other. You're my partner Peter..." you softly sigh, "look, I'll always be here for you Spidey, and I know you'll always be here for me."

Peter softly smiles towards you, before gently taking your hand off his shoulder, cupping it with his own, "I will, I promise."

He looked down at your hands before gently intertwining your fingers together, "(Y/n) I..." but a loud bang rang out, cutting him off. The two of you instantly looked down below, but there was no one there. You softly sigh, dropping your hand that wasn't holding Peter's and preparing a force field back down. What was that?

You turn back to him, a blush creeping into your cheeks as you realize you were still holding hands. Softly letting go, you said, "Well, it's getting late and you must be exhausted Peter so let's head in for the night."

"Oh y-yeah we should do that."
