Lost in Time

Sixty-Four

Elle moaned around her burger, loving how delicious it was. She noticed Pietro smirking at her and she threw one of her fries at him, but he only caught it, eating it with a grin... 'Shut up..'

'I didn't say anything..'..

'Your face was saying it for you..'.. She narrowed her eyes at him and got comfortable on her couch.

When Pietro came back to med bay, he hadn't said anything, just scooped her up and ran off. Once they had gotten outside, he had asked her where she wanted to go, and she gave him her address to her apartment in Jersey. There were a few reasons why she wanted to avoid this place, but right now she wanted to be anywhere else but the tower. She didn't have her keys, but that didn't stop her from getting in, and looking around the place.

Even though she had no memory of living here, her heart was aching with pain, as if it did remember. She could tell who's room was who's, and she just couldn't bring herself to step inside Jaces room.

Instead, after looking around, Pietro had found a drawer full of menus and ordered for the two of them, then put some show on in the background as they waited for the food to arrive. Elle hadn't realised how hungry she was until that first bite of her burger.

'Should I be worried that you can't stop staring at my face?..'.. He teased her and she gave him the finger.

'I thought maybe something would trigger, being here but..'.. Elle sighed, looking around the open living room and kitchen... 'It makes my heart hurt, but there's no memories. I don't think I'll get them back..'

'That's ok, it is just a new chapter of your story..'.. Pietro shrugged at ate his wrap.

'You still haven't told me what was said. He's back, clearly cause you wouldn't have gotten me out of there otherwise..'.. She stuck her leg out, nudging his knee.

'I gave him a warning, and he seems to think he's got a chance with you. I just let him know we had been in bed watching a movie before he turned up..'..

'Pietro! No..'.. Elle sat up with a scowl... 'Don't go making up stories about me, I don't like it. And insinuating that there's anything between me and you, that's a no too..'

'Would you rather him think he has any input in your life, dictating that what he says, goes?..'.. He pointed at her with a fry, and she said nothing... 'I thought so..'

'You're starting to be a pain in my ass..'.. She grumbled as she continued eating.

'Give me a chance and I can be a real..'.. He winked at her... 'Pain in the ass..'

'Gross..'.. She rolled her eyes. Not a second later, there was a knock on the door.

'Aunt Elle? Aunt Elle are you home?..'.. She frowned thinking about who it was... 'Its Peter..'.. She threw herself off the couch and stumbled, catching her knee on the table as she scrambled for the door. She crashed into it, and quickly ripping it open, seeing a stunned and very young Peter Parker... 'Uh, hi. Um-..'.. She reached out, and wrapped him in a hug.

'Hi. I know I don't remember, but I've been told about you, and I have photos of you here..'.. She said, not sure if she could say anything else.

'I missed you..'.. She heard his muffled voice and she pulled back, holding him by the shoulders.

'I missed you too, I know I do cause I feel it..'.. She tapped her chest with a smile... 'You want to come in for-..'
