"Cause after all this time...Im still into you..."

Peter's POV

 Y/n and I found ourselves sitting on the rooftop of the hotel, gazing out at the sprawling cityscape before us. The cool night breeze tousled our hair as we enjoyed a moment of tranquility amidst the chaos that awaited us. As I stood up, I peeled off my hoodie and sweatpants, revealing my Spider-Man suit underneath. Y/n, still dressed in her regular clothes, caught my attention.

"Did you bring your suit or...?" I inquired. Y/n emitted a soft hum in response, 

"Well, I think it'd be a bit odd if someone spotted a girl sitting on the roof," I explained

"Oh! Right!" Y/n's eyes lit up as a violet red circle materialized at her feet and gradually enveloped her body. In a matter of moments, she transformed into her sleek and formidable suit. I couldn't help but stare in awe. Why couldn't Mr. Stark have incorporated such a seamless transformation feature into my suit? It would have saved me a lot of hassle. "What?" Y/n questioned, noticing my lingering gaze.

"Nothing, it's just... That's really cool," I confessed, a genuine smile forming on my face. Y/n returned the smile, and my heart skipped a beat. I settled back down, stealing glances at her as she scanned the surroundings.

"Having a bit of FOMO, are we?" I teased, acknowledging her gaze down at the pool area. Y/n shook her head, dismissing the notion.

"No, it's just..." She let out a sigh, clearly burdened by her thoughts. "Liz seemed so nice on the first day, and now she looks at me like I'm the enemy. And I have no clue why it bothers me so much." Y/n met my gaze directly, her eyes capturing my attention. They were a captivating shade of e/c, enhanced by the moonlight. I found myself momentarily lost in their beauty.

"Come on, we better go before they decide to move again," Y/n suggested, snapping me back to reality. I nodded, readjusting my focus to the task at hand.

"Who?" I questioned, momentarily forgetting the purpose of our mission in Washington.

"The guys we came here for, Peter," Y/n replied,

"Right! Them!" I exclaimed, suddenly remembering our mission. I hurriedly stood up, slipping my mask over my face, ready to face whatever challenges awaited us.

"Good evening, Peter," a robotic female voice greeted, startling me. I spun around, frantically searching for the source of the voice, my senses on high alert.

Y/n's POV

You stared at Peter, a mix of concern and amusement evident on your face.

"Thank you," Peter acknowledged, causing your eyebrow to raise in curiosity. "I put a tracker on someone. He's a bad guy," he explained, his tone serious. You couldn't help but stifle a laugh, finding his dedication and enthusiasm amusing. Peter glanced over at you, catching your reaction.

"I know where they are, follow me," he instructed, his voice brimming with determination. Without hesitation, Peter sprinted off, and you shook your head with a smile before following suit. You effortlessly leaped off the roof, allowing your powers of flight to guide you as you trailed behind Peter. He landed on a truck hauling numerous cars, and you gracefully glided alongside him.

"Who were you talking to?" you inquired, genuinely curious about the mysterious voice he had conversed with.

"Suit lady," Peter replied matter-of-factly, prompting you to give him a bemused look. "Almost there," he declared, leaping off the truck. You smoothly touched down beside him, and the two of you swiftly made your way towards a gas station.
