I shout when I get to the bottom of the stairs. I see y/n...tied up on the floor.

"Peter Parker. Spiderman. Or Man of Spiders, is what my brother calls you." Loki says in a sinister way.
"Let her go, Loki!" I shout at him with a stern look on my face.
"Not so fast. She belongs with me. I need her and her power."
"She doesn't deserve this! Just let her go!" I look down into y/n's eyes and they're red and puffy, filled to the brim with tears and looking into mine.
"Listen here, insect! You will leave this house and let me keep her. You don't, you join her on the floor."
I think for a moment. Then...it comes to me. y/n doesn't deserve the bullshit she's had come her way, me playing a huge part in it and I'm going to save her.
"Take me." I say.
"What?" Loki sounds baffled by my gesture.
"Take me instead of her. Let her go and torture me."
y/n's bondage on her mouth comes loose and she spits.
"Peter! Don't do this!" She screams at me.
"Please Loki. Just let her go." I plead to him. Loki thinks for a minute and looks at me.
"Sit on the floor, insect." He throws y/n away from him and walks towards me as I get on my knees, not breaking eye contact with Loki.
"Peter! No!" Her screams echo in my head and bring tears to my eyes.
"It's ok y/n. Let me go." I look at her and she nods her head. She breaks out of the ropes holding her down, Loki not paying attention to her still comes towards me.

y/n POV
I break out of the ropes without having Loki turn around and look around for a weapon. I'm not letting him take Peter. I know he's an idiot but he doesn't deserve to be taken and tortured so bad that he dies. I see a dagger on the floor, Loki must've dropped it and I pick it up. Loki is standing in front of Peter and he sees me and gives me a glance. I lift the dagger above my head.
I plunge the knife into Loki's head and he doesn't move...he makes a few noises before falling to the floor and crimson red starts to leak out of his head. I look at Peter and Peter looks at me. I run into his arms, inhaling his scent as I grip on him as tight as I can.
"y/n! Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" Peter checks over my face for bruises and sees a few which brings tears to his eyes.
"And...this." I roll up my sleeve and reveal the cuts on my arm that Loki had made. "Where are the rest of the Avengers? My dad? Where are they?"
Peter looks at the floor with a sad look on his face.
"They're not here, y/n." He says.
"What? What do you mean they're not here?" I start to get angry.
"They didn't help me. I came to save you myself." My heart drops.
"You're joking right?" Peter just shakes his head. I sit on the stairs of the basement in disbelief. "Not even my dad?" Peter shakes his head again and sits next to me, looking as numb as I do.
"Wow...I know I told you guys not to save me for your own safety and I thought you wouldn't listen. I know you wouldn't of but my dad?" I start to ramble.
"Come on. Let's get you patched up and something to eat." Peter stands up and reaches out for my hand which I gladly let him take.

We change into some normal clothes and Peter swings us to a hospital. They patched me up and then we went to a coffee shop down the street.
"So? How are you? Since everything..." I ask, referring to the breakup which Peter understood.
"Not great...but I've been better. I've been hanging out with Ned and MJ a lot, mainly MJ. I think I really like her." He says, probably thinking I don't want him anymore. It's not true.
"Oh. That's nice." I gulp my coffee so I don't have to say anything.
"That's nice? That's a weird thing to say."
"Why? W-Why is it weird?" I stutter a little bit.
"I don't know. It just sounds a bit weird." We sit in silence after that and make our way back to the compound.
"Do I have to go in?" I ask Peter as we get to the front door.
"Yes. You do." He says, wrapping an arm around me, making me feel all tingly but I mustn't show that. "I'll be right here. Just don't lose your temper." I roll my eyes and nod my head.
Peter opens the door and we walk in and nobody's around.
"Hello?! Peter saved me without you!" I shout in the house. The house remains silent. I hear footsteps upstairs and then running down the stairs and I put my hands out with my powers ready. MJ comes around the corner and I stop my hands.
"MJ?" Peter says, confused but happy.
"That girl, Wanda said I could wait here for you while they all went somewhere." She explains herself. I leave the room without saying anything and go into the kitchen to make a snack. I don't want to see her.
