Esmeralda woke up almost almost 10 days later in her apartment. She was in her bedroom in her bed. The door creaked open.

"Finally you're awake!" Barry and Peter beamed happily. "We've been waiting."

Esmeralda set up. "What do you mean?" She looked confused. "Where's Alfred and the Elder?"

"You defeated him!" Barry stood beside her. "We woke up and you were passed out on the floor so Alfred told us to take you to your apartment."

"What about the manor?" She asked concerned.

"Uhh-" Peter scratched the back of his head. "So   Alfred used Bruce's insurance to fix that. We've kinda been crashing at your place since. Except for Alfred."

"Yeah!" Barry said. "He thought he'd be intruding and got a hotel somewhere but Peter and I were kind of worried about you so we stayed here!"

"He thought you lost your memory!" Peter blurted out. Earning a pillow to the head from Barry.

"On the bright side," Barry spoke. "It's been a fortnight so you aren't weak anymore. You can use your powers fully again."

"Just be careful!" Peter warned her. "We bandaged your arm. You were bleeding a lot!"

Barry nodded. Esmeralda looked down and saw her arm. It was wrapped up with white guaze cloth and signed by Peter and Barry. "Thanks for the help" and "Get well soon!"

"Aww!" Esmeralda smiled. "Thanks you guys!" She gave Barry a hug since he was right beside her bed. He hugged her back aswell. She let go. "Peter?" She asked. "Shouldn't you get back home?"

"Yeah!" He sighed. "It's just the crystals are gone and the matter blaster is broken-"

"I can take you home!" She interrupted him. "My powers are all back now and I'm not weak anymore."

"Oh! Sure." Peters eyes widened. He looked excited to go back home but then he looked at Barry and Esmeralda which made his expression sadden. "I'll miss you both!" He said.

Barry walked up to him. "I'll miss you too!" Barry hugged him. Esmeralda woke up from the bed and walked up to them. Giving them both s hug. "I'll miss you guys too!"

"Huh?" Barry let go of them both. "You aren't staying here in Gotham?" He asked.

"The Elder is gone! The people of Esmera must hear the news!"

"Guess this is good bye then!" Peter chuckled awkwardly.

"Who knows?" Esmeralda shrugged. "Maybe I'll round you guys up sometime and we can chat over some pizza and ice cream."

"Maybe." Barry smirked.

"Yeah;" Peter agreed.

"Well goodbye Barry!" Esmeralda said. "I'll drop Bruce of at the justice League tower. You'll be there, right?"

"As usual!" He answered. "I'll tell him everything and I'll call Alfred in too!"

She gave Barry one last hug. "See you around!"  She pulled away. "Come on! Let's go Peter."

She held Peter's hand and told him to close his eyes. "I need you to think of home now!" She closed her eyes. "I'll read your mind!"

For the last time hear travelled through Peter. The both glowed emerald and with a flash of light they both left.

The busy streets of New York could be heard from inside Avengers tower. Mr Stark and Batman were in the middle of a game of cards. They both shielded their eyes from the flash that brought Peter and Esmeralda with them.

"Peter?" Mr Stark called.

"Uhh- Mr Stark." Peter greeted him. A silence filled the room then Peter ran towards Mr Stark, giving him the biggest hug. "I missed New York!" He began tearing up. "New York missed you too kid!"

"Who's she?" Batman interrupted the heartfelt moment.

Peter regained himself, letting go of Tony. "That's Esmeralda! She helped us and she's your ticket home!"

"Wait kid!" Tony called the girl. "You both gotta explain!"

"Don't worry uhh- Mr Stark." The goal calmed him down. "Peter will explain." She looked at Bruce. "Barry will do the same too, he's waiting for you with Alfred and the justice League tower."

Batman looked at the girl, wondering if he should trust her but then decided that he sould. I mean Peter was  back home and he just had a gut feeling that she was one of the good guys.

"See you around Stark!" He made a saluting gesture before walking up to the girl.

"Wait!" Peter called. He walked up to Esmeralda. "See you got some new powers! He grinned.

"They're not new, they were just stolen." She laughed a bit.

Peter was staring at her "You're eyes are white now!" He indicated.

"Yeah!" She said. "Since that little tug of war scenario a couple days ago. Yours are back to normal though!"

"Yeah!" He replied. "Good-bye"  Peter said, giving her a hug. In which she returned. She let go.

Peter walked back to Mr Stark and Batman took his place. In a bright white light.  They both disappeared leaving Peter and Mr Stark in silence.

"So do you fancy her or something?" Tony broke the silence.

"Ughh!" Peter groaned. "She's a good friend!"
