Copycat & The Spider-Man (Marvel Fem!OC)

Starting Over.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure—"

"Let's talk right now," She pressed.

Tony looked at Pietro and Happy. 

"Go ahead, we'll be there in a minute."

The men exited the car, Tony took off his glasses and turned to face her, C.C. didn't know where to start.

"Did you see Wanda?"

"She's safe... but there was nothing I could do, you know she brought this upon herself."

"She's a kid—"

"You're younger than her and you still understood it was better to play by the rules," He said sternly. "I'll see if there's a way for you and Pietro to visit her."

"What's gonna happen to us now?"

"Exactly what I said before," He responded. "You guys keep your powers hidden until you turn twenty-one, once you reach that age you'll have to register. I'm your legal guardian, anything you need you can ask for it, as long as it's not a new suit."

"But I'm not an avenger now, not even a young one?"

"Not at the moment," Tony tried to lighten up the mood. "You wouldn't have liked it anyway, KitKat. Barton and Thor always left their garments thrown around the quinjet. You're better off studying with Parker, you make a good team."

"So will I be allowed to patrol the city with him at some point?"

"You can go out whenever you want in your civilian clothes, but Copycat cannot be seen."

"Tony, did you find Steve and his friend?"

"Yeah."

"And what did—"

"You hungry? I'll see if I can bring you lunch after I drop Vision and Rhodey, he's recovering so—"

"Recovering?" She frowned. "From what?"

"Ah, that's right, you weren't there," Tony cleared his throat. "Rhodes had an accident. His suit stopped working and he fell a large distance. He's paralyzed from the waist down."

"What—"

"It's alright, he's fine," Tony replied quickly. "He'll be staying at the compound too."

C.C. inhaled deeply. "I don't understand how we lost control to this extent..."

"It's alright, Steve'll come around, maybe. If he doesn't, we can still work around it. You have your own life to build, don't let us stop you."

"Hey..." Peter stood next to her locker. "How did everything go?"

C.C. pulled something out of her pocket and showed it to him.

"I have a phone now. Put your number in."

He grabbed it and called himself. "There, now I have your number too. I'll save you as Cat."

"Sure," She said quietly. 

"How's Pietro holding up?"

"He tries to act like it isn't bothering him, but it's only a matter of time before the guilt catches up. It's his sister, and he helped capture her."

"You'll keep coming to school?"

"I helped in this mess just so I could keep attending chemistry with you, Pete. I will, even if I have to wake up at five every morning... oh, Tony also said I'm allowed to be in the city on my own, so we can go to that cat cafe anytime you want."
