All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 46

(Y/n) sat in the back of a car with Peter as her Mom drove in the front. She was driving them towards the Aneil's New York house, which was only half an hour away now.

"Where's their house again?" Peter asked her quietly.

"Up in Harlem," she replied.

"Ok," he nodded.

She was surprised he had agreed to come along with her. In fact, he seemed almost eager. She remembered how he was over the phone...

"Hey, Peter, did I catch you at a bad time?" she asked, glancing at the clock that read eleven-thirty.

"No, I'm just on patrol. It's pretty calm at the moment. What's up?"

"So, I don't need your help, but I'd like it if you did," she told him.

"Are you ok? Do you need me to come over right now? I'm on my way!"

She rolled her eyes. "Peter, I'm fine, but... have you ever wondered about what my missions from HYDRA were like?"

"... I don't know if I like where this is going. C-can you start from the beginning?"

"I met up with an old friend. He helped me a lot when I was in HYDRA as a kid, and they needed help. I said yes. I talked with Tony, and he said I need to pick two people to take with me. I already picked my mom, but I want to know if you can come with me as well," she explained.

"Ok, but why not Tony? He has more experience than me, and he has money as a superpower,"

"Tony will draw too much attention, and it's a crime family-"

"A WHAT?!"

"-if I brought Tony, they'd be scared off and never contact me again. Also, he and Pepper are busy this weekend. The wedding is getting closer, you know," she told him.

"O-oh, yeah, that makes sense,"

"Besides, if I have to face an unexpected, dangerous situation, you're the person I'd trust most," she told him casually. There was a few seconds of silence from Peter's end, causing her brow to lift. "Peter, are you ok?" she asked.

"I'm great, awesome! I'm all in! When do you need me to come over to help?"

"I don't know yet, but when I do, I'll let you know. You have no idea how relieved I am. I'm excited to see everyone again, but Derik is a little weird,"

"Derik? Who's Derik?"

"He's Joseph's son, but he's the only one there that's our age, but I haven't seen him since last year," she told Peter. (Y/n) paused, listening closely to the phone. "Are you running?" she asked.

"I'm going to pack a bag right now!"

"But I don't know when they'd need-"

"Better to have it ready in case they need you, like, tomorrow!"

He wasn't wrong. They needed her the next day. Every year, Joseph threw a charity event where they checked in on their clients and made new deals. That was in two days. Today, they'd get settled and do recon work, and tomorrow they'd do any security work that could be done, as well as training.

She was a bit nervous at the mention of a party. She'd been to one before, but all those times were different. Even though she'd likely be acting as a server, she'd still have to deal with her emotions, something she'd never had to do in a highly social setting yet. She vaguely remembered Peter talking about how he'd been to dances at school before. Maybe he'd know what to do? She'd ask when the time came.
