Moving Fast - WinterSpider AU

Chapter 1 - The Move

Peter pov

I stand in the elevator, nervously waiting. After a few minutes of agony, I hear a quiet 'ding!'

The doors slide open, and I step into the second floor of the Avengers compound, where everyone is. Expectant faces whip around and see me. I immediately flush, seeing all the eyes analyse me. This is the first and probably last time I'll ever feel like someone is undressing me with their eyes, and this isn't even in a sexual sense.

"Peter!" Tony exclaims. I grin as he comes over and gives me a bear hug.

"Hey Mr Stark," I say with a giddy grin on my face. I haven't seen him for about a week.

"Tony, who's this?" Mr Rogers says.

"Oh, this is Peter..." Tony trails off, looking at me for permission. I nod. He can tell them.

"And he's Spiderman."
Everyone's silent for a few seconds.

"TONY, YOU BROUGHT A CHILD TO GERMANY?!" A beautiful woman with brown hair, who's wearing red yells. The man sitting next to Mr Rogers flinches slightly at the volume. He looks up and we lock eyes. I find myself quite enraptured by him. He has beautiful, long brown hair, and steel blue eyes. And his jawline... Holy shit. He was also at the airport, I believe.

"Earth to Peter?" Tony asks. I blink a lot, tearing my gaze away from the man.

"Hm?" I ask. Tony doesn't know that I'm bi. In fact, the only person that knows- knew- was Aunt May. A sudden pang of grief hits me. No matter how much time passes, it will always hurt.

"I was saying that I can help you with your stuff," he says.

"Oh no, that's okay." I smile. Mr Rogers sighs, and shakes his head.

"No, it's okay. I'll help you carry it up."
I smile gratefully at him. The other man who was next to him also gets up in sync with him and picks up one of my many bags. All together, we carry it up to my room.

"Where do you want these?" Mr Rogers asks.

"Oh, just on the bed if that's okay Mr Rogers," I say. Him and the other guy do so.

"And, kid? It's Steve," Steve says, leaving. I nod. The other man turns to me.

"I'm Bucky," he says, with a warm smile. My cheeks turn pink as I feel a faint flutter in my stomach.

"Nice to meet you... Bucky," I smile. He grins and leaves. I quickly put all my stuff away. It's only 7pm, but I'm already so tired. Between packing, fighting crime, and arriving... I'm wasted. I crawl into bed and am out like a light.

"Peter. You could've saved me." Aunt May says.

"What? No, I-" I try to protest.
I'm plunged into darkness, and then I see the scene.

I'm standing in the restaurant, waiting to order. Aunt May is outside, sitting in one of the seats. All of a sudden, I see a gun.

May slumps over, dead.
I sprint out of the restaurant, hurrying to find the criminal.

"WHERE ARE YOU?!" I scream, as rage takes over. My eyes catch on the criminal. It's the man. The man who I let run free earlier today.

May is dead because I pulled a muscle and didn't want to stop a criminal.

I let out a shout of pure fury as I pin him against the wall. I punch him over and over again. I don't even stop once I'm punching a corpse. After 5 minutes, I slowly stop. I fall to the ground, sobbing.

I wake up, gasping for air.

Jesus christ Parker.

I sit in my bed, struggling to catch my breath.

Aunt May is dead thanks to you

I sob quietly into my hands.
