The Infinity Witch

Chapter 3: Nightmares

*3 days later*

Skylar was still hurt from what had happened a few days ago, to think that kids feared her. She tried to smile but Peter knew that deep down inside Skylar was heart broken. The fact that the people in Westview were scared of her and tried to avoid her made Skylar not want to do anything special. She just wanted to sit on the couch and watch movies until 2am.

Peter's POV
Peter had come down to grab a glass of water while Skylar was sleeping upstairs, she hadn't really slept the night before because of the nightmares. She didn't want to tell him what they were about, but he knew the nightmares were about the battle in NY a year ago. They thought the nightmares were gone, but they seemed to be back.

Peter didn't like seeing Skylar miserable, it shattered his heart into a million pieces. Peter decided that he should contact Mr. Stark and tell him to go and pay them a visit immediately. He was supposed to go with Morgan in a week but he couldn't see his girl sad anymore. He had to do something to make her smile.

"Roxie, call Mr. Stark ," he ordered.

"Calling Mr. Stark," Roxie announced.

"Hey! Peter, what's up?" Tony said while he was pacing around the room.

"Mr. Stark, is it possible that you guys can come tomorrow?" Peter asked.

"Uhm, yeah of course, why?" Tony said, concerned.

"It's just that Skylar isn't feeling well these days and I thought it would be good for her to be with her family," Peter said with a sad look on his face.

"Ohh sure! We'll be there tomorrow, but there's the possibility that Pepper won't be able to go, she's been really busy with... some problems in Stark Industries," Tony said mysteriously.

Skylar's POV

Where am I? This looks familiar but... no no no no this can't be. It's New York.

"What am I doing here?" I asked myself. 

I heard an explosion. I turned around and I saw the last thing I ever wanted to see... she was standing there; her hair whipped around her face in a fury, her eyes were a deep shade of purple as if poisoned with madness... it was me, out of control fighting against Agatha. I remembered this moment like it was yesterday, I wanted to erase this moment from my mind forever, but here I was, in the place where it all started.

"This is a nightmare, right? I just need to wake up. Yeah! I need to wake up," I said, now breathing heavily.

Then I saw a car flying towards me.

"If this is a dream, it can't hurt me," I said firmly.

I was sent flying 20 meters by the car but I felt no pain... odd.

"Oof. Definitely not a nightmare," I said, grabbing my arm that was now supporting a huge purple bruise.

I had to see what was happening so I flew to where I... well me of the past... her... whatever, Skylar and Agatha were fighting to get a better view.

Then something happened, it was like a deja-vú, not exactly a deja-vú... it was more like a memory.

The Skylar of the past ripped up a building with her powers and hurled it in the direction to where Agatha was floating, not minding that there were innocent people behind her. This was my worst nightmare, the memory of how I killed at least 150 people (that escalated quickly) because I couldn't control my powers, and I still can't.

I screamed for the people to move but it was like they couldn't hear me, as if I wasn't there. I tried to use my powers, but they were useless. My heart was pounding so fast, I thought it would be ripped out of my body.

Then I heard a voice, a voice of a woman.

"You're going to hurt the people that care about you, Skylar. Give up and everything will be over" The voice said over and over again.

"Stop, please! STOPPPPPPPP!" I screamed. 

Peter's POV

"Thank you Mr. Stark, also I got something I want to show you-" Peter was cut off by Skylar screaming.

"STOPPP" he heard Skylar scream.

"What the hell?!" Tony said, worried for his daughter.

"Be right back Mr. Stark!" Peter said while running upstairs.

Normal P.O.V.

Peter stormed in the room and saw Skylar still asleep; crying and sweating as if possessed. The artificial plants that they had in their room were flying across the room because of Skylar's powers.

"Skylar, you have to wake up! You're having a nightmare!" Peter said, trying to wake Skylar up.

Peter struggled a bit as a few other things began to fly across the room.

Skylar woke up after about 2 minutes, breathing heavily, her chest was rising up and down. Both of them could hear Skylar's heartbeat. Skylar was crying her eyeballs out, re-playing in her mind what had just happened. She looked up to Peter and he instantly knew something was wrong so he pulled her towards him and embraced her.

"What was your dream about love?" Peter asked, still hugging Skylar.

"I don't wanna talk about it," She said, followed by a sniffle.

"It's alright," Peter said.

With his Peter tingle he felt that something was off as if someone else was in the room but he brushed it off and continued comforting Skylar. Once Skylar had calmed down, Peter asked her if she wanted something to drink but she refused. Peter nodded and kissed her on the head and went back downstairs to explain to Tony what just happened. Skylar was scared of falling asleep, she didn't want another nightmare so she turned on the TV and watched a few episodes of 'F·R·I·E·N·D·S'.

*Next morning*

Skylar and Peter were eating scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuits at the breakfast table when someone knocked at the door.

"I'll go get it," Skylar said, putting her slippers on.

"Alright love," Peter said smirking, knowing that it was Tony and Morgan.

When Skylar opened the door, a huge gasp escaped her mouth which quickly transformed into a smile.

"DAD! SISSY!" Skylar said, hugging them both.

"Hi sweetie," Tony said smiling.

"Hi big sis!" Morgan said, hugging Skylar's waist.

"I- I thought you were coming next w-week what-" Skylar said surprised.

"Well yeah, your fiancé had other plans," Tony said, hugging Skylar once more.

"PETER BENJAMIN PARKER! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN READY FOR OUR VISITORS!" Skylar yelled from the door, loud enough for Peter to hear her.

Peter walked to her but couldn't decode what was behind Skylar's gaze: daggers prepared to be thrown at him or surprise and love. It was both.
