Lyra Stark - Goddess of War

Chapter 61

They go to their friends. MJ and Ned looking surprised at Lyra and her arm.
"Wow what happened to your arm?", Ned asks without hesitation. Lyra looks at him and think how to answer.
"I told you that I had an accident while I was in Europe", Lyra answers calm and looks around for Wanda and Yelena. Yelena sits on the side and Wanda is with some girls getting drinks.
"Oh really? Okay. But the prosthesis is cool", he says and smiles. Lyra smiles and is relieved that her friends don't think about the winter soldiers.
"Thank you. A friend has built it for me. I can use it like a normal arm", she thanks him and lean against Pietro. He smiles and is in a perfect mood.
"Let us go dance. It's a slow dance", Pietro whispers in Lyra's ear. She nods and goes with him to the dancing floor. They begin to dance smoothly, and Lyra is impressed how Pietro dances with her.
"You are a good dancer", she says and smiles at him. He grins and continues dancing with her. Pietro holds a hand on her hips.
„I told you Clint and Steve have shown me some steps", he replies and smiles, „Also Laura has helped as dance partner." Lyra laughs by thinking how her boyfriend dances with two other men.
"You are so sweet", she says and smiles at him. He grins and doesn't need to read her mind to know why she laughs. Both enjoy the dance until it changes to a fast music.
"Let us get a drink", Pietro says and takes her hand, leads her to the side. Lyra follows him and looks to the drinks.
"What do you want? Blue or red?", he asks. He doesn't know what kind of punch this is.
"I think the red one is a safe option", she answers, and he gives her a glass of the red punch. Yelena keeps an eye on her niece before she goes around and observes the hall.
"Lyra? What kind of joke is this with your arm?", Liz asks her and looks at both. Pietro lays his arm around Lyra to show her that he is with her. Lyra sighs and doesn't want to talk about it.
"Accidents happen", Lyra answers and feels a bit of phantom pain by the thought about how hydra amputated her arm while she was awake. Lyra takes Pietro's hand and needs air.
"It was nice to see you, but we need air", Pietro says and leads Lyra away from the group. Yelena follows both and wants to know that Lyra is safe. Lyra goes out with Pietro to take fresh air. It takes a few breaths before she calms down. Lyra sits down on a bench. Pietro kneels in front of her hand looks to her.
"Are you okay? You looked like you were back in Hydra for a moment", he asks her and worries about her. Lyra nods.
"I am okay. Just sometimes when I think about the past my shoulder begins to hurt. It doesn't hurt really, only in my mind", she answers and looks at him, "I have known that this will happen tonight." He looks at her and takes her hands.
"You know that your family and I don't see your arm as problem. It shows how brave and strong you are", Pietro says and looks lovely at her. Lyra smiles weak and nods.
"Yes, and the new arm is amazing", she replies and presses his hand a bit, "We should go back inside and enjoy the rest of the prom." She stands up and sees Yelena in the door, watching them calm. 
"As your aunt, I am relieved that you two just talk outside, but as someone who loves American movies, I would love to catch you by something teenagers do on proms, like kissing or something else", Yelena says and looks at both. Lyra rolls her eyes.
"If I do something like this with him, you can be sure that we wouldn't be catch by you", Lyra replies and smirks, "But don't worry." Lyra smiles and goes with both inside. Yelena sighs and looks at both.
"I keep an eye on you, but you should have fun until Nat comes to pick us up", Yelena says and goes back to the side and watches around. Lyra watches to her and shakes just her head before Pietro leads Lyra to Wanda.
"Do you have fun?", Pietro asks his sister. Wanda looks at both and nods smiling.
"Yes. It's great. We should have gone to America earlier", she answers and smiles, "Guys this is Lyra my brother's girlfriend and one of my good friends." Lyra looks in the group. She recognizes some of them. Lyra leans against Pietro and smiles softly.
"Hey", Lyra says and looks in the round. Her view goes to one of the doors to the Spanish teacher. She has a bad feeling about her. Their eyes meet and Lyra turns around to Pietro.
"Let us dance again", Lyra asks him, and he nods. Both go back to the dance floor. They just dance to the music. It doesn't look good or so, but they have fun. Lyra laughs and has fun with him. But her view goes back to the Spanish teacher.
"What did you think about the Spanish teacher? She watches us all the time", Lyra asks him and feels uncomfortable around her.
"She is strict but doesn't seem to harm someone. She helps Wanda and me a lot in the lessons", he answers and brings her to the side. Lyra nods and watches to Yelena, gives her the signs in ASL that she should take an eye on the teacher. She has taught her ASL in the red room for silent communication. Yelena looks to the teacher and nods.
Lyra and Pietro take a second glass of the punch. They watch the others and leans back on the wall. Lyra's feet begin to hurt in her heels.
"I go and ask Yelena if she changes her shoes with me", Lyra says and goes to Yelena, "How much do you love me?" Yelena looks at her and waits for the question of her niece. Pietro watches both and waits for Lyra to come back.
"Can we change our shoes for a while? My heels are killing me", Lyra asks her and Yelena laughs.
"No", she answers and looks at Lyra, "I don't wear heels. I can't fight in them by emergencies." Lyra sighs.
"You are not cool tonight for me", she replies and goes back to Pietro. He smirks as he has seen that Yelena doesn't change with Lyra.
"If you want, we can just stay a while until your feet don't hurt anymore", Pietro says. Lyra nods and smiles softly. Pietro pulls her back in his arm. She relaxes and looks down.
"This fucking wizard", Lyra mumbles as a golden ring appears under her. She looks at Pietro and pushes him away from her.
"Tell Yelena and my Mum about the Strange!", Lyra says before she falls in the magic hole. Just a card stays on the ground.
"Lyra!", Pietro calls after her and can't grabs her hand before the hole closes. He looks angry at the card. He picks the card up and runs to Yelena.
"You need to call Natasha! A wizard has kidnapped Lyra!", he says and looks at her. Yelena looks at him and can't believe this.
"Are you kidding me?", she asks mad and took the card, "Is this his card?" Pietro nods and looks for Wanda, goes to her.
"We need to go", he says to his sister, "Natasha comes and picks us up soon." Wanda looks irritated.
"What happens?", she asks him and looks around, "Where is Lyra?" Pietro looks at his sister.
"That is the problem. An American wizard has kidnapped her", he answers and is mad that he wasn't able to keep her safe, "Natasha and Stark are going to kill me."
