A Sunday Kind of Love- a Peter Parker x Reader story

Chapter 33

Y/n's POV:
TW: literally anything related to fighting: blood, near-death experiences, anxiety, and all that stuff <3

"So fucking desperate." I curse and hold my wrist up, aiming for Austin's head.
"Why do you want it so bad anyway?" I ask and he grits his teeth. Before he can answer, I hear a gunshot from above as a dart shoots into his neck. His eyes roll back and his head falls forward. He looks at me as his eyes open and he seems like he doesn't know who I am. A devilish smile crosses his face as he mutters three statements.

"Retrieve the serum. Multiply. Distribute to the weak." As he says the words, several gunshots go off behind me. I hear my name called so I turn around. When I turn back, Austin is gone. I curse under my breath and run to Peter.

"Alright what do we need to know Frizzle?" Tony's voice rings through my mask.
"Well Peter and I went to talk to him about my dad and then he got out." I fling up to the fire escape to shoot at the helicopter closer.
"It seems like he's mind controlling the police officers with a button behind their ears. I took two of them off and the officers were fine. If we can release the rest of them then they can help us." It feels weird that I'm the one giving orders, but I am the reason we're fighting them.

After a while of shooting at helicopters and dodging bullets, I run out of web fluid.
"Shit I'm out of web." I tell Peter and fling to the nearest alleyway. Peter flips off of the building from above me and sits down. We're both breathing heavily as we replace the fluid.
"So what did you say to him to piss him off this much?" He asks as he tests the shooter. I press out a laugh and test mine as well.

"I didn't tell him anything. Actually he said I'm a better version of you." I say in a sing song voice as I replace the other fluid packet.
"No he didn't. You're definitely not better than me." He shakes his head and stands up.

"I am too better than you." I stand up with him.
"No you're not." I can hear the smile in his voice.
"Yeah I am." I stand on my tiptoes to appear taller than him.
"Stop flirting you two." I hear Tony say. I blush under my mask and swing back into action.

After roughly twenty minutes of fighting these people, most of the helicopters are destroyed. Wanda was able to free the officers and they took several men under arrest. I don't really get hurt and it's easier than I thought to fight with the Avengers.

I really thought this was going to be a success. How stupid was I.

I land on the rooftop of a nearby building and watch as Wanda battles the final men. I hear Peter flip onto the roof and I grin.
"Fancy seeing you here." I say and he takes my hands.
"I'm so glad this is almost over with." He says, the relief apparent in his tone.
"Me too." I bite my bottom lip and look down at the people. I still feel guilty for putting them in this situation.

"Hey you okay?" He asks me and I turn to him. I pull him into a tight hug and he doesn't hesitate to hold me.
"I'm sorry for making you guys deal with my trauma." He laughs and rubs my back.
"Well, that's what superheroes do." He says in a lower voice which makes me laugh.
"Oh shut up." I say and push him away. He looks at me and even from under his mask I can tell he's grinning.

I feel a tightening in my stomach as I think about confessing my feelings for him. It's not everyday that I tell someone I love them. I have to make sure it's real.
"Hey Peter." I start.
"Hey Y/n" I put my hands together to keep myself from fidgeting.
"I-" suddenly, I hear a gunshot from behind Peter. He tenses and my heart drops as he looks to his side.

I look behind him and a man is holding a pistol aimed right at Peter. I shoot at him with my web. It enwraps him in a cocoon of electricity. I run back to Peter and he stumbles to the ground. He's gripping his side which is already seeping through his suit with blood.
"Hey Peter look at me." I take off his mask and he's pale. His jaw is clenched with pain but he still looks at me.

"I'm sorry Y/n." My eyes fill with tears.
"No no no no don't you dare start talking like that Parker." This can't be happening.

I hold my hand over his and rest his head on my lap.
"Tony? Peters shot." I say but I don't get an answer. I feel helpless and I'm shaking.
"Peter don't go into the light." He laughs hoarsely and grips my hand.

"The light looks pretty though." I shake my head and he closes his eyes. My breath quickens and I check his pulse. It's slowed, but not entirely gone.
"Please Peter come on. I-I love you." I whisper and let out a choked sob. I take off my mask and kiss him on the cheek.
"You can't leave me. Not like this please." I cry harder as his hand falls from mine.

"Tony! Wanda!" I yell their names until I see Tony look towards us.
"Please Tony help!" I wave my hand manically and he flies up to us. He leans next to Peter and his face goes grim.
"I distracted him. This is all my fault." He glances at me when I say this then tells Wanda to kill the rest. He takes Peter and flies back to the tower.

Not long after, Wanda has killed the rest of the men trying to get me. We hurry back to the tower and when I get there, Bruce is with Peter. I'm not allowed to go in and I pace the waiting room in front of the medical wing.

Nat notices the cut on my back that I didn't know I had. She sits me down and begins to clean it.
"I'm the reason he's in there." My knee bounces sporadically when she touches my cut.
"No. Don't put the blame on yourself. This isn't your fault." She rests a hand on my shoulder. I let a tear fall but wipe it away quickly when Bruce comes out of the room.

I stand and so does Nat. He holds his clipboard and stands in the doorway of the room. Nat grips my hand.

"So. What's wrong?" I force myself to ask the question and hope for the best.
