"We're just friends."

"Has anyone seen Peter?" i asked as i noticed Peter's not on his seat.

"I haven't seen him since yesterday." Wanda answered as she looked at my direction.

"Me too, maybe he's at his room resting." Pietro said and i almost didn't understand what he said because he is munching the food that he's eating.

"He's with his lady friend. I saw him on my way here." Thor said as he walked in, Tony also walked as exactly Thor sat on his seat.

"He's still there? I thought he's on his room." Tony said as he stood beside the fridge holding a glass of water on his hand.

"He stayed. I told him to rest but he insisted to stay." Natasha said as she look up.

"Did the kid already ate?" Bruce asked and i stood up from my seat finishing my food.

"I'll go bring him food." i said as i walked to the kitchen counter.

"Have you seen my brother, bird?" i secretly look up to Thor when he asked Sam.

"No, i haven't." Sam answered not looking at Thor as Sam continue to stare at Bucky just to annoy him.

"I saw you with him earlier." Peter l. said as he looked at Sam's direction but he's too focused to Bucky.

"He is. Annoying Loki. And now, me." Bucky said as he finally looked at Sam, i looked away from the two of them as Thor looked at my direction.

"Loki's on his room. Reading." i heard Charles said.

I ignored them as i just focused on making Peter a lunch, i feel sad for Peter blames himself for what happened to both Ned and MJ. I sighed as i finished making Peter a lunch, i was about to get a tray when a metal one floated mid air stopping in front of me. I looked to where Erik is and he nodded at me.

"Thought you might need a hand." Erik told me.

"Thanks." i said as i put Peter's meals to the metal tray.

After that, Erik stayed in the dining room but i was amazed because the metal try is still floating mid air. I headed to where Peter is and Thor's right, he's still beside MJ. I looked at Ned's room first before going in to MJ's room, Ned's asleep. I knocked on the door first before walking in, Peter looked at my direction and he stood up as he saw me.

"Elyra, hey." Peter said and i chuckled.

"You didn't sleep last night, did you?" i asked and Peter nodded as he looked away.

"You should rest, Peter. Your friends are safe." i said and Peter just nodded again, he looked down at the metal try that floating beside me.

"Is that for me?" Peter asked and i nodded.

"Yes." i said and Peter walked towards the metal tray.

He didn't spoke as he took the tray and sat in front of the small table few inches away from MJ's bed, i sat to where Peter sat earlier. I just looked at MJ as Peter might find uncomfortable if i watch him eat. After a few minutes, Peter finished eating and sat beside me. He is just silently staring at MJ, while i watched him.

"It's my fault why she's lying at this bed." Peter finally broke the silence between us.

"I brought her there. I brought Ned and her there." Peter said and i saw the sadness on his face.

"It's not your fault Peter. Don't blame yourself. What happened was an accident that wasn't caused by you. It was caused by my dad, i'm the one whose supposed to be sorry." i said and Peter shrug.

"I should've told you first that i saw them. I should've called you or Mr. Stark, it's just... i thought i could follow them myself but-- i f-failed..." Peter said his voice cracking like he's near crying.

"Look, Peter.." i said as i touched his hand, he looked at me and i can see that his tears are nearly escaping from his eyes.

"It's not your fault, you didn't left them behind. Okay? You stayed with them and tried to save them but you're also struggling that's why you can't help them quickly." i stated to Peter.

"But i should've done better. I should've save them from--" i cut Peter off.

"You saved them, you saved them both. I know they're not in a good condition yet neither do you but i want you to think that they're alive. Maybe they are lying in the bed, unconcious, but they are alive Peter. They are not dead. You didn't failed, you did good. You struggled but you still remained concious, you tried your best Peter and you succeed." i told Peter and he stared at me.

Peter didn't spoke as he suddenly hugged me, i hugged him back patting his back. I felt his shoulders moved, that's when i noticed he's crying. I sighed and just hugged him tight.

"It's okay, Peter. It's alright." i whispered to him.

I stayed with him till he just fell asleep, i gently let his head rest on the bed while he's still sitting. I was about to go when i heard MJ spoke causing for me to look up to her.

"Hey.." MJ whispered and i looked at her.

"You're awake, you want something to eat or is there any part of your body that still hurts?" i asked her and she shrug.

"No.. i'm going back to sleep." MJ answered as she looked at Peter who's sleeping.

"He stayed with you. He doesn't wanna go. He wanted to make sure you're alright." i told her and she look up to me.

"He did?" MJ asked and i nodded.

"He likes you, MJ. He really do like you." i stated.

MJ eyed Peter again and stared at him for a minute then she look up to me shrugging like she doesn't agree to what i just told her.

"No, he doesn't like me. He likes you. You know soulmates likes each other. The two of you are meant for each other, Peter can't like me because you're her soulmate." MJ told me and i sighed shaking my head.

"No, not all soulmates are meant to be together. There are twisted soulmates, MJ. Peter and i are just friends and that's how soulmate works too." i stated and she stared at me.

"Soulmates aren't always the one we're gonna be with. Soulmates are sometimes friend, parents, or siblings. I have multiple soulmates but i know, i know that some of them are like family or friends. Just like Peter." i explained and she smiled.

"Who do you like among them?" MJ asked smiling.

"All of them. I like all of them." i answered and she chuckled.

"What i mean is, you like to be with? Someday?" MJ said and i went silent.

I suddenly thought about Loki, he's the first one to come in my mind. I do know that i like him but i don't know if i wanna be with him, 'cause i'm scared to know the truth about my feelings. It's my first time feeling this kind of feelings, it's my first time to like someone. I don't know if this is temporary or not and there's something in my mind that telling me it's tempory but my heart says no.

"Hey, you there?" MJ spoke and i shake my head.

"What was your question again?" i asked shaking my head.

"Who do you like among them?" MJ repeated her question earlier.

"The trickster." i answered as i smiled at her.
