Anna's POV

I stood in front of my cafeteria and was proud of myself for following my dream. I knew if my parents were proud of what I had achieved. They have always supported me in my cooking and told me to follow my dreams and that anything is possible if I put the right amount of work into it.

I decided to call the cafeteria Black Roses. Roses were mom's favorite flowers and I wanted to have some kind of connection with them through this. Tomorrow was the first opening and hopefully everything would go according to plan. I closed the doors and windows after one last check to make sure everything was ready and headed toward my apartment.

Fortunately, I live not far from the cafeteria so it doesn't take me long to get home. As I walked down the aisle I heard a noise and saw two older boys beating up a younger one

'' Hey! What do you have that you are doing '' I shouted scaring the attackers. They looked at me and ran away and I quickly went towards the little boy on the floor

'' Hey are you all right? What's your name Little One?'' I asked and he looked at me slowly

'' I'm fine ma'am It's not the first time,'' he said the end quietly hoping I wouldn't hear. He had a wound on his eyebrow and I slowly helped him up from the ground

'' Come with me. I'm cleaning that wound on your head and I'm sure you're hungry '' I said. Before he had time to protest his stomach rumbled and got a nice redness.

We made our way slowly to my apartment and I sat him on the couch. I cleaned his wound carefully

'' You still haven't told me your name '' I said softly

'' Peter Parker Ma'am '' he said quietly that I almost didn't hear him. I smiled gently at him

'' Nice to meet you Peter. My name is Anna Black'' I said and concentrated on cleaning his wound. I put the cotton swab aside

'' Okay Peter the wound is not serious so no need for a hospital. Do you have someone to let you know you are okay '' I asked and he nodded.

I gave him my phone to call them and went to make him a sandwich and tea. After a few minutes I brought it to him and he ate it like he hadn't eaten in years

'' Slowly Slowly or you'll choke Peter. No one will take it away from you '' I said and he slowed down eating

'' Good? '' I asked and he nodded. I went to make myself something to eat and sat next to him turning on the TV

'' How long have they been harassing you Peter'' I asked and he looked at me puzzled. I laughed a little

'' You see my skin color Tiny. People are not nice to others of skin color they also teased me when I was your age. Fortunately, I had help and they were afraid to start fights with me because I have been going to different martial arts since I was 6 years old. I am a champion in mixed martial arts and a trained gymnast. Tell me the truth and I will help you '' I said gently and pulled him to me.

Suddenly he burst into tears and hugged me tightly talking about what was happening and for how long. I didn't interrupt him letting him let it all out knowing that he would feel better after that. After he calmed down '

' Do you feel better? " I asked still holding him to me and he nodded his head

'' Yes " he said rubbing his eyes. Whoever could hurt this pure Bean is a monster and I must do everything to help him. I thought for a moment

'' How old are you Peter '' I asked

'' I'm 14 '' he said curious as to why I was asking. I pondered a bit

'' You want a job to distract your thoughts'' I said

'' I am opening my cafeteria tomorrow and I could use some help. You would serve, take orders and clean tables. You could work on weekends and during school breaks and after school if you do the lesson first and eat something. You would earn $7 an hour with tips you get but the only condition would be if your guardians agree '' I said and he looked at me as if I were hanging stars in the sky. He hugged me tightly

'' Yes immediately asked my aunt when she comes back from work '' he said excitedly with a wide smile.

I knew at that moment that I would try to make sure he always had that smile on his face. I spent the next few hours talking to Peter and getting to know him and he me.

I learned that he had lost his parents at a young age and was often ridiculed for being an orphan. I held him tight when he told me this and had a hard time controlling my powers that wanted to hurt these bullies.

I met his Aunt May and we became instant friends. She thanked me several times for taking care of Peter and agreed to let Peter help me in the cafeteria. I knew the older Peter became the more money he would earn and I was okay with that.

A couple of months later

The cafeteria was a success and I had a lot of people coming in every day. I hired two more people to help me named Mark and Luka.

Mark worked as a waiter and Lukas helped me in the kitchen or at the cash register. Of course Peter helped in the Cafeteria every day and I can say that Luka and Mark adopted him as a younger brother and I can see that Peter likes this attention.

My job offer fell to them as if from the sky because they were rejected by their families on the grounds that they are gays and are together.

It doesn't bother me because I'm bi myself but I gravitate towards men. When Peter found out about it he told them that it doesn't change his opinion of them and they are his big brothers forever.

Mark and Luka burst into tears and hugged Peter for a few minutes when they heard this. I was happy to see them and knew I had been given a second chance at my family.

The present time

Everything is going well we still have a lot of visitors coming to us. Peter has become bolder and more confident. He has made friends with two of their peers Ned and MJ who come here every day.

I also hired MJ when Peter said he was looking for a job they earn from $10 an hour during the week and $15 an hour during the weekend. I was the first person he told me about biting one and half year ago and at that time I told him about my powers.

I taught him control and how to fight, I was the only person who treated him when he was injured during his patrols. I was the first when he was invited by Tony Stark to intern under him.

He wanted to introduce me to the Avengers as his older sister but I told him it wasn't necessary. I forbade him to talk or think about my powers because I wants to have a quiet life and not fight, and he understood that without a problem.

I knew they would be curious to know where Peter disappears to because he promised me he would still help here and I know he likes working here.

I'm curious how long it will take him before he brings any of the Avengers here for coffee and I suspect it will be Mr. Stark or Shuri because I know he has become good friends with the Princess of Wakanda.
