"What do you mean I'm the problem?" You shake your head in frustrated confusion at your boyfriend Peter Parker(maybe soon to be ex-boyfriend). "I just feel so excluded and ignored. You guys have your little meetings, discuss important, save the world stuff, and I'm expected to just stay out of it because I can't understand or help?" You glare at him defensively as he rolls his eyes dramatically.
"Look, It's not that deep. We just have a serious threat on our hands right now and need to come up with a plan—fast..." Brushing past you quickly, he enters the conference room, ensuring the door shuts behind him. It closes with a silent thud and you hear the muffled voices of your dad, Tony Stark, and his coworkers Natasha, Bruce, Steve, and Clint.
Sitting down in defeat, you hug your knees tightly. They sound anxious and yet you can't do anything about it. That was the worst feeling. All you wanted was to feel needed, but that would never happen. After all, you didn't have a special strength enhancing serum or a fancy suit with weapons included. You were just an ordinary human being surrounded by constant reminders of greatness and heroism.
All of a sudden, your dad shoves the door open and storms out, Steve close behind. Sinking into the wall further to avoid being seen, you watch intently as the two turn to face each other. "Come on, Tony! If we want to stop Loki from getting his hands on the Tesseract, we need to act fast. Every minute we sit in here bickering, he's closer!" Tony exhaled and placed his hands on his hips, eyes closed as he processed.
"Steve, I like you. I really do. I respect your honesty and dedication to doing the right thing, but..."
"There's always a but, isn't there?" Steve interrupted, shaking his head.
A finger flew up to his face. "Don't cut me off; I'm speaking. I wanna save the world and ensure peace just as much as you do. Peace, peace, I love peace. But what you're proposing is absolute crap, okay? So we're not doing that. End of discussion." Tony shrugged unapologetically and continued walking away while Steve bit his lip to refrain from further argumentation. You weren't sure what Steve's plan had been, but it was very clear your dad did not agree with it.
"So how long you've been eavesdropping, y/n?" Steve's familiar voice stopped your churning thoughts and you definitely jerked in surprise.
"Oh," you chuckled shyly, "I was just waiting for Peter. He said the meeting wouldn't last long." You flash an awkward grin and point to the ajar door. "Think I'll go get him." With a brief salute, you turned to go, successfully bashing your head directly into the doorframe on your way. This just wasn't your day.
"Are you okay?" Peter hurried to help you up. As you stumbled to your feet, your eyes caught hold of the extensive projector. At least ten maps, satellite images, news articles, and government documents were pulled up and enlarged. In the middle of the screen was some sort of mugshot of a dark haired man. He had sharp, angled features and a mischievous smirk of a smile. Despite his haggard appearance, you almost felt like he could be attractive if he tried. Before you could decide exactly what to change about him, the screen went blank as Clint turned everything off.
"Confidential, remember?" He said half teasingly, but you knew he really meant it.
"Right. Sorry for the distraction guys." You motion to your aching head and shake off Peter's firm grasp on your arm. "I'm fine," you assure him.
So that was the "big threat" the team was facing? Some skinny, greasy guy who probably benches less than you? It doesn't add up. There's no way he could be capable of endangering the world to any significant degree. You start walking to your bedroom in a state of confusion.
"Y/n! Hey, wait up!" Peter runs towards you, much to your annoyance.
"What, Peter? I kinda just want to be alone right now. Don't you have like super important plans to figure out with your superhero besties?"
His eyebrows furrow and he narrows his eyes. "Look, I get you're mad and whatever, but drop the sarcasm. You know we just wanna make the world a safer place."
You snort loudly. "Safe from that guy? No offense, but if it takes all of you "Avengers" to stop him, maybe I should join the team. Sounds like you need the help."
Peter didn't seem amused. "That guy is Loki, Thor's evil brother from hell. He's super powerful and if he finds this artifact, we all could be in serious trouble."
A pause ensues, mostly because you're still recovering from the fact he actually shared some confidential information with you for once. "Wait...what artifact are we talking about?" Your curiosity piques as your imagination runs wild.
"It's called the Tesseract. I don't know much because I just learned about it today, but it's like this blue charged stone thingy," he makes a square shape with his hands to help you visualize, "and is currently locked away. But Thor sent us a message saying Loki's after it, so we gotta get to it before it's too late." Both of you reach your bedroom door and you wait to open it.
"Interesting. So what is the plan?"
"Your dad wants us to split up, so one group goes in while the other stays back on surveillance and watches for unwelcome visitors. It's the better option, in my opinion." He leans against the doorframe and sticks his hands in his jeans.
"Okay, but what does Steve think?" You need to know why your dad was so heated about the proposal.
Peter's demeanor changes noticeably and he straightens up. "I shouldn't have said that, any of that. Don't tell anyone we had this conversation."
You groan angrily. "And we're back to typical you, shutting me out like always. Why do I even try with you?" Opening your room door, you inhale shakily. "I think we need a break."
He nods slowly in agreement. "Yeah, get some rest. We can talk more in the morning."
You swallow, hoping you won't regret this later. "No, Peter, not like that. I think our relationship needs a break."—————————————————————————
