All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 47

(Y/n) stood on the top of a ladder, installing a small camera just below the tall ceilings. She, Peter, Kate, Derik, and a couple of Joseph's security team members were in the venue for the party, setting up security details. As she finished, a green light lit up from the side, and (y/n) stepped down to look directly into the camera. Making eye contact with it, she pressed a button on the earpiece she was wearing.

"Peter, can you hear me?"

"Perfectly,"

"See me?"

"Right on camera five,"

"What about the others?"

"There's one more left, but they all look good, too. Hey, can you walk around on the ground so I can see if the facial recognition is working properly?"

(Y/n) nodded her head with a hum and started climbing down. Just as she was about to take her last couple of steps, Derik was at her side, holding the ladder with one hand while offering the other to her.

"Need help getting down?" he asked, his eyes lit up.

"Umm... No? I'm just getting down from a ladder, Derik," she said as she planted her feet on the floor. "Thanks, though," she added.

"Oh, no problem," he said.

(Y/n) gave him a small smile and walked to the center of the large room. While it wasn't near anything Tony would rent, it was still a gorgeous venue. A large dance floor, a bar, some tables and sitting areas, and a small stone balcony with glass doors. If it looked wonderful with natural daylight, she could only imagine it with the soft, warm light of the chancelier later tonight.

"Peter, how's that facial recognition working?" she asked.

"Umm... Pretty good. It's only bringing up public information right now since the guys won't let me have access to the more underground personal information,"

"Ok. Tell them that the cameras are working and come in, I guess,"

"Ok. See you in a minute,"

Peter's side cut off, and (y/n) turned off her earpiece as well. Looking behind her, she could see Kate with a man, both of them checking all of the weapons and equipment for tomorrow. Soon, they'd be done with nothing left to do but get ready for tomorrow. Mary said that she had to take them dress shopping today and leave early tomorrow for hair and makeup. Kate seemed nervous at the thought of people messing with her face and hair, but Mary assured her that everything would be fine.

"Hey!" Peter called from the entrance as she jogged over to her.

"Hi. Are the guys in the van doing the rest?" she asked him.

"Yeah, they said thanks for my help and seemed happy to get rid of me," he told her.

"Probably because they know you're a little bit better at their job than they are," she said with a teasing smile.

Peter nervously chuckled, his eyes darting around. "Haha haaa- knock it off before I disappear!" he hissed quietly.

"Oh, please. They're not that kind of people. Plus, they wouldn't get very far, because I'd stop them, right, Derik?" she asked as she caught Derik walking over towards them in her peripheral.

"I'd believe it, for sure. I've seen you do everything you've set your mind to so far. But for your information, we've totally done it before," he said in a light tone, glancing back and forth at (y/n) and Peter, intentionally sending small chills down Peter's back.

Peter looked over at her, and she smiled and shook her head, mouthing "no".

Derik sighed. "She's right, but we could if we wanted to," he said, staring light-heartedly at the other male.
