Loving Marianna

Chapter Sixty- Three

Warning: violence

"I love you so much." Natasha says as she head butts me making my nose bleed before healing.

"I love you more!" I sweep my leg underneath her and she easily dodges it. I shoot up using my momentum to smash the top of my head against her chin sending her falling back into the ground. She quickly rolls up clutching her jaw with a sexy smile. I can't admire her for long as Pietro quickly runs delivering a blow to my stomach making me curl over. I don't have time to respond as Natasha kicks me in the face sending me to the floor on my back.

Pietro runs to the other side of the training room and runs back throwing his whole body weight on top of me. I let out a strangled noise but manage to grab his hair before he can run away. I know. Hair pulling is low but you gotta do what you gotta do. I yank him off of me, roll over on top of him and sing pulling water from the air I freeze his pinned arms before I'm pulled off and thrown into the wall hitting my head hard. I open my eyes just in time to see an arrow fly into my leg.

"Fuck bitch bitch bitch!" I scream yanking the arrow out quickly so I can heal.

Just as I get that arrow out another flies through my shoulder and into the wall pinning me against it. Natasha helped get Pietro out of the ice and the three circle around me as I snap the arrow in half and lift my body off of it. I roll over in agony needing to get out of this terrible position. It's no use as they continue to corner me. I wait for them to get closer before I let out a scream making them fall before me clutching their ears. I continue screaming until my wounds are healed over and I can rise again. I stop my scream and leave them clutching their ears as Peter in his iron spider armor hangs from the ceiling dropping to the ground smoothly.

"Mm I love how that suit fits you." I purr.

"Y-you can't flirt your way out of this!" He stutters cutely pointing his webs at me.

"No she can't." I hear Pietro say behind me. I go to scream but Peter sends his webs flying at me pinning me to the wall knocking the breath out of me ruining my scream. I thrash against the webs but they don't budge. I breathe in and sing pulling water from the air and freezing it slicing me free of the webs. Peter tries to send another web at me but I guide the water in front of me and block the shot with the ice. I let the water disperse back into the air and smile stopping my song.

Peter and Pietro both look slightly horrified and I knit my eyebrows.

"Did I hurt one of you?!" I ask as Pietro rushes to my side. I look down and see an arrow through my stomach.

"Oh shit." I say leaning into Pietro.

I snap the head and Pietro helps me get the rest of the arrow out and rests me on the training room floor to heal.

Everyone else rushes over and Clint grasps my hand apologizing profusely.

I laugh with a small cough holding my stomach.

"This isn't funny babe." Clint moves the hair clinging to my forehead from sweat.

"This is the point of doing this. To make me stronger." I lift my arm petting his cheek, he leans into my touch with a hum.

I sit up and they overreact moving with me like I'm going to fall. I stand and lift my shirt my wound healed.

"I'm getting stronger everyday." I smile grabbing water and my phone.

Pietro stands behind me arms wrapped around my waist as I check my phone.

6 missed calls

I quickly check who they're from and ignore them turning off my phone.

"Why are you avoiding Fury?" Pietro asks.

"I'm not avoiding Fury, I'm avoiding work and unfortunately the two happen to pair." I shrug but he doesn't accept that turning me around to look at him the rest of my mates coming to see what's happening.

"I've just been nonstop. Go go go. I want peace for Christmas and I can't do that with Fury asking me a million questions about Xavier instead of letting me go out there and kill his ass. Fury is invited to Christmas but I'm not working during the Christmas season unless dire."

"How will you know if it's dire if you don't answer?" He purses his lips.

"Because if it was he would've called the hundreds of other agents he has including you all." I kiss him on the nose walking away not wanting to discuss this anymore.

Pietro POV
We watch her walk away and I turn to Natasha, Peter and Clint, "I hope she's not giving up."

Natasha shakes her head.

"She just needs a minute to breathe."

Marianna POV
I just need a minute to breathe.

I take a quick shower and change into shorts and a black tee shirt. I text Happy and sneak into the closet that is basically a room.

"Good you're already here." I smile.

"Did anyone see you?" He questions looking behind me nervous.

"Of course not they're off doing their own things right now."

"Good. We don't want them finding out." I nod my head in agreement.

"Let's wrap some presents!" He yells and I laugh signaling for him to quiet down. We turn on Christmas tunes to a low volume and sit on the floor wrapping the massive amount of presents.

"I can't believe it's Christmas Eve Eve." I smile giddily dancing as I get another present to wrap.

"I know. Time flies." He says wistfully.

Too quickly.

Steve POV
"Are they in the closet wrapping presents again?" I ask as I walk past Peter (Q) pressing his ear against the door.

"No." He shakes his head scurrying away from the door.

Looks like nobody in this tower can keep a secret, not from each other at least.
