𝑅𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑠 (Peter Maximoff x Y/N)

Chapter 3

Y/N's POV

We were in font of Charles's plane. They were about to leave, but they wouldn't tell us where they were headed.

"Peter, Y/N, thank you, very, very much. Take care" Charles said.

"Hey, I saw your flight plan in the cockpit. Why are you going to Paris ?" Peter asked.

So that's where they were going. Charles and Hank decided not to answer. It must've been important if they didn't want to tell us. As they began walking up the plane's stairs, Charles threw his car keys at Peter.

"Do me a favour and return it for me. And Peter take it slow" Charles said as they left.

We got inside the car and began driving.

I looked at the Peter and noticed that he was laughing.

"Charles shouldn't have trusted you" I said with a smile.

"He shouldn't and that's his fault" Peter said as he accelerated.

There was no one else on the road, so Peter didn't slow down. I put my hands in the air as if I was on rollercoaster.

Peter looked at me and smiled.

After a couple hours on the road, we made it to the rental company's parking garage. We left the car and Peter began walking me to my house. I walked up the stairs and waved at Peter as he quickly left.

I looked at a flower I had planted not too long ago in front of the house. It was small and losing it's colours. I walked towards it and looked at my surroundings. When I made sure no one was close to me, I used my mutation to make the flower grow. I'd have to tell my parents I had it replaced because it was impossible to tell it was the same flower.

I looked around once more to make sure no one had seen me, but this time I saw something that made me regret my actions. The old woman who lived in the house next to mine was looking at me, shocked. She gossiped a lot and would definitely tell my parents what she'd seen. They didn't know I was a mutant, and I didn't know what their opinions on mutants were, since the public didn't know of our existence yet.

I started stressing out, thinking about all the things that could happen. I calmed down and started walking to Peter's house.

After my ten minute walk I finally arrived at his house. I knocked at the door and Mrs Maximoff stood in front of me.

"Y/N. Are you alright ? You don't look well" She said, concerned.

"I'm alright, thank you. Is Peter here ?"

"Yes. In the basement as usual" She said as she let me in. I walked downstairs to Peter's room.

"Y/N ? What are you doing here ?" He asked.

"M-My neighbour, she saw me" I said sitting down on the couch.

"Saw you ?" Peter asked as he sat down next to me.

"She saw me use my mutation"

"What is she gonna do ? It's not like everyone knows about mutants"

"Yes, but what if she tells my parents ? I don't know how they'll react !" I said, my voice getting louder because of the stress.

"Hey. You're gonna be alright. We'll figure something out. You can stay here in the meantime. That sound alright ?" Peter said as he wrapped his arms around me in a hug.

I woke up in an unfamiliar room on a couch. I looked around and remembered what had happened the day prior.

As I slowly got up, I heard someone walking down the stairs. It was Peter.

"You're finally up ! I thought I'd have to give up my couch if you stayed asleep any longer" He said, jokingly.

He sat down next to me.

"So, are we going to find a solution now ?" He asked.

I nodded.

"I mean... we don't know for sure that your parents hate mutants. They probably don't even know we exist !"

"You're right. Maybe they'll think that the old lady is just seeing things" I said as I rested my head on Peter's shoulder.

We heard someone running down the stairs. It was Mrs Maximoff.

"You kids are gonna want to see this" She said as she took the remote that was on the coffee table and turned on the TV.

It was Erik. He was in a magenta suit in front of the White House.

"You built these weapons to destroy us. Why ? Because you are afraid of our gifts ? Because we are different ? Humanity has always feared that which is different. Well, I'm here to tell you, to tell the world, you're right to fear us. We are the future. We are the ones who will inherit this earth and anyone who stands in our way will suffer the same fate as these men you see before you. Today was meant to be a display of your power. Instead, I give you a glimpse of the destruction that us, mutants, can unleash upon your world. Let this be a warning to the world. And to my mutants brothers and sisters out there, I say this : No more hiding, no more suffering. You have lived in the shadows and shame for far too long. Come out. Join us. Fight together in a brotherhood of our kind. A new tomorrow that starts today"

The phone rang. Mrs Maximoff ran upstairs to go answer it.

Peter turned the TV off and began processing what he had just seen.

"Well, now my parents definitely know we exist" I said with a sigh.

"Y/N ! It's for you !" Mrs Maximoff said from the first floor.

I walked upstairs and she handed me the phone.

"It's your mother" She said as she quickly left.

I put the phone on my ear.

"Hi mom"

"Y/N. Where are you ? It's not safe to be alone right now"

"I'm at Peter's. What's wrong ?" I asked, convincing myself that she wasn't talking about Erik's speech.

"Mutants. That's what's wrong ! They're dangerous and I don't want you to get hurt"

Peter walked up the stairs and looked at me.

"Who is it ?" He asked.

"It's my mom" I said as I put my hand over the speaker.

"Y/N ?"

"Yeah, I'm here" I said, trying to figure out what to do. "Listen, mom, I can't c-" Before I could finish talking, she cut me off.

"I have to let you go. The neighbour is at the door. Come home soon, okay ?"

"Okay" I said as I hung up.

"Everything all right ?" Peter asked.

"She's gonna know. The woman who saw me was at my house. I can't go back there. She clearly dislikes mutants" I said, my eyes becoming watery.

"You could live here" Peter said, straightforwardly.

I looked at him.

"I'm not saying you have to... but it could be an option. I know my mom wouldn't mind. And maybe when we're older we can move out. Together"

I ran towards him and kissed him.

"That sounds nice" I said as I quickly wiped my tears.

He smiled and kissed the top of my head.
