All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 37

"What were you thinking?!" Liz asked, her voice disguised. She was fully dressed up in her full Doc Oc gear. The goggles, full head mask, aviator jacket under her metal arm vest- everything to be prepared.

"SHE STARTED IT!" Katherine screamed, glaring at (y/n) over Spider-Man's shoulder.

Who the fuck cradles someone in their arms like that?, she thought bitterly.

"I don't care! You should have left," Liz said, tears pricking at her eyes.

All Liz could see was Katherine. Her heart was still pounding from the memory of hearing Katherine's voice disappear from the other end of the phone. She nearly cried as she grabbed her gear and ran out of the lair, barely able to think clearly enough to locate Katherine. She didn't remember anything on the way, and she didn't even care that Spider-Man, the one who ruined her life, was only a few yards away from her, openly vulnerable. The bloodied blonde was all that filled her vision.

The tears finally streamed down her face as relief overcame her, and she pulled Katherine into a tight hug. Katherine had to bite her tongue as the pressure made her dislocated shoulder and cracked rib make her see white dots. Despite the pain it brought, it felt nice.

"I'm not dead, Liz," Katherine whispered, eyeing (y/n) and Spider-Man carefully.

"You look it, though," Liz whispered back.

"Rude," Katherine quipped, and a quiet laugh left Liz.

Liz pulled back, slinging Katherine's arm around her shoulder. A metal arm circled around Katherine to offer support as another reached over and grabbed the small alien generator.

"We're going home," Liz said.

"Stay right there, Blood,"

The two girls turned around. (Y/n) was walking towards them slowly as she pointed a gun towards Katherine. Liz's breath was stuck inside her as she looked at it. She was lucky enough for her metal tentacles to block the first bullet, but she couldn't say for sure they could block a second one. Catching mall projectiles that travel as fast as you can blink wasn't their strong suit.

"(Y/n), stop!" Spider-Man exclaimed as he walked behind her carefully.

Katherine shoved Liz behind her as she faced (y/n). "Put that gun down!" she shouted.

"Put your hands up," (y/n) said, ignoring her.

Lightning flashed through the sky, lighting up the infuriated look on Katherine's face. "Like hell," she spat.

"One, two-" (y/n) counted off.

Peter looked between the three girls. He couldn't see Doc Oc's face, but both (y/n) and Katherine had a deadly glint in their eyes. A sharp prick of dread filled him as he realized... this wasn't going to stop. (Y/n) never quit anything until she won, and Katherine was cutthroat and always fought her way through everything. If it continued, it'd be a bloodbath.

"Thre-"

"Wait!" Peter yelled, rushing forward.

His shaking hands grasped her wrists as she faced her completely, staring into her eyes. They bore into hers with his whole heart, pleading with her silently. Even if she couldn't see his eyes, he knew she could feel it. It was a sixth sense of hers. He lightened his tight grip to a gentle placement over her hand, but his own still shook.

"Put it away," he said in a single breath.

"No, now get behind me. This is going-"

"Going to what? End badly? End up with her dead?" Peter asked her.
