Peter and I walk hand in hand after landing back home, the sun washing over the city in orange and gold.
"You know" he says with a grin.
"I still can't get over the fact that my girlfriend's going to lead the avengers one day" he said
I bump his shoulder.
"Yeah, which means you'll have to listen to me" I said
He laughs.
"Yeah, I'm definitely pretended to-" he started
Before we can finish, betty and Ned walk over.
"You guys are so cute" betty gushes.
"Thanks. Uh- we were thinking we should all go on a double date or something sometime?" Peter suggested.
"Oh, we broke up." They both say at the exact same time.
"Wait- what? Really?" I ask, blinking.
"Why?" Peter adds, just as confused.
Ned sighed.
"Men and women grow apart, but the journey they shared together will always be a part of them" he said
Betty tilts her head.
"You are so wise." She said
"Thank you" ned says proudly as betty walks off, then Ned walked off too.
Peter and I just stare at each other, completely lost.
"That was....weirdly poetic?" I mutter
Peter shrugged.
"Classic Ned" he said
We're still laughing when we walk outside- and may spots us instantly. She runs over, hugging Peter first, then me.
"I'm so glad you're okay." She says, her voice trembling in relief.
"No, for real. I'm good. I'm actually really fine" peter said, smiling.
May steps back, eyeing the way our hands are still intertwined. Her jaw drops.
"Hold on a minute.... oh my gosh! Finally! Took you two long enough" she exclaims.
Peters face flushes red while I laugh.
"Did he confess awkwardly or confidently?" She asks me.
"May!" Peter groans, mortified.
I laugh again, but something behind her catches my eye- Wanda, waiting by a car across the street.
"I've gotta go." I said, squeezing Peters hand.
"I'll see you guys later" I smile
"Bye, Lizzie!" Peter calls
"Bye, Peter! Bye, may!" I shout back, jogging toward Wanda.
The moment I reach her, I tackle her in a hug.
"I'm so glad you're safe" she says softly.
"Me too. Did Billy and Tommy make it okay?" I ask.
"Yeah, they did. They're sleeping now." She says, relief written across her face.
"Elizabeth, I'm so proud of you. You kept them safe" she said
"It's my job" I smile
