Y/n Hybrid (fem) x Avengers

Chapter 25

Tw: Quite a bit of kissing near the end of the chapter.

Y/n

For the next week, everyone was getting ready to fight HYDRA and take them down once and for all. As soon as Kat was well enough, she was in the gym training. Once a day we trained together, making sure we both knew each other's fighting style. Kat preferred ambushing, whereas I preferred open confrontation. It was now a Saturday - we were going to attack HYDRA tomorrow providing all went well. I walked into the gym to find Kat and Natasha doing general combat training. I stood against the wall as I watched Natasha attack Kat. Kat ducked and grabbed Natasha's arm, before throwing her away. Nat huffed as she hit the wall and turned around. Kat ran towards her skilled opponent, but Nat was prepared. She grabbed Kat's waist and pulled her to the floor, placing her knee on Kat's neck but not pressing down.

"What did I teach you?" Natasha asked, helping Kat to her feet.

"Keep stood up at all times," Kat replied, panting for breath.

"If someone grabs your waist, you kick backwards at them to knock them, then grab their back using your arms and pull them down. They will eventually have to let go," Natasha explained.

"Try again?" Kat suggested.

"As long as you can manage it," Natasha replied.

Kat nodded and I watched as they re-did the match. Kat followed Natasha's instructions and had the red-head on the floor. Kat leaned over the woman and held her hand at her neck.

"And you'd be dead if it was HYDRA," Kat chuckled.

Nat smirked and stood up. Only then did she notice me.

"Y/n," she greeted, nodding.

I nodded back and listened to half of their exchange in words, before I slipped away again. As I walked down the corridor all the rooms were on to find Tony, someone pulled me into a room. They put their hand over my mouth and pushed me against the wall as they slammed the door shut. I let out a sigh of relief when I realised it was Peter.

"Fuck's sake Peter, don't do that!" I gasped. "You know I could've hurt you if I reacted!"

"Sorry," Peter apologised with a small smile. "But I had to grab you before you went all serious and closed off."

"I already am," I said simply.

"Y/n," Peter looked me dead in the eyes, making me smirk. "I don't want to lose you out there tomorrow."

I could see sadness in his eyes. I knew that he'd be heartbroken if I died in battle. So would I be, if he died.

"Peter, I need you to understand that-" I faltered. "People will die out there. Hybrids will die. Some of you may even die. And I'll try to stop that at all costs, but I can't control fate."

Peter sat down on his bed (yeah this was his room, not that I'd noticed before). He fidgeted with the drawstrings of his hoodie.

"I know, but I can't lose you," he replied. "Not after everything. The way we met, the way we kissed..."

I went over to Peter and sat beside him. I took his hands and looked him in the eyes.

"Even if I die, I loved you till the very end Peter Parker," I told him.

Peter bit his lower lip. Smirking, I said, "You're cute when you do that."

He laughed, replying, "You're always cute."

We stared into each other's eyes once more for a few seconds, before we both leaned into a kiss. It felt like... Nothing in the world mattered. I wanted to hold onto this moment forever. Peter eventually pulled back.

"So... what will you do after all this is over?" he asked.

I shrugged.

"I guess I've never really thought about it," I replied with a small sigh. "Ever since I escaped, I'd devoted my life to finding HYDRA."

Peter listened to me patiently.

"I'll go back to my apartment. Clear out everything that reminds me of HYDRA. I'll get a full-time job as... maybe I could be a nurse?" I suggested.

Peter laughed.

"You're going to need to go to university for that," he told me.

"Well... I don't know. Just something that I'll like doing. I'll go back to Mr Vishi's shop and work for him again on weekends..."I trailed off into silence and Peter put his hand on my thigh.

I looked at him as I saw him looking at me.

"Maybe you could stay here?" he suggested.

I laughed, then stopped, seeing he was serious.

"No," I shook my head. "I can't live here. Nobody really wants me here. They just want me for HYDRA."

"Says who?" Peter asked me.

I shrugged.

"I just know."

"Trust me Y/n, they aren't just using you to take down HYDRA," Peter assured me.

I didn't respond to him, just stared at the carpet. For ten minutes we sat side by side on Peter's bed in silence. Peter occasionally spoke to me, but I wasn't really listening.

"Hey Y/n?" Peter asked loudly.

"Hm?"

I looked up at him, but he grabbed me and pushed me down on the bed, leaning over me. I felt my heartbeat quicken. What the fuck is he doing? Is he trying to kill me or something? The thoughts disappeared out of my head when he pressed his lips against mine. I pushed him over so he was laid beside me on the bed, and I put my arms around the back of his neck. He pulled me by my waist so my body was pressed against his. We fondly kissed for a few minutes, before I pushed at his chest. He stopped and I could finally breathe again.

"You're a good kisser, but you need to learn how to breathe," Peter joked, smirking.

"Don't you even start with the 'how to be a good kisser' talk," I warned him with a smile.

"Alright Little Miss Sharp Tongue."
