Queens and Brooklyn | Peter Parker x Starks Daughter

[5] If you are so keen...

BROOK POV

"Stupid AI..." I mumbled under my breath. "You're where now! Let me send a car!" I mimicked.

I abruptly shoved my hands in my pockets and continued down the street. I wasn't able to enjoy a fun afternoon.

"I wish I wasn't destined to be famous...!" I mumbled silently to myself again.

I heard a faint reply or voice. I turned around as saw nothing. Turned back and nothing... I looked up to the skies and down below but there was nothing... Just me and the setting sun shining through the space between the close buildings. There was a little pebble on the street and I continued kicking it all the way till I was halfway home. I put my phone on silent after the Cafe incident but I could just sense my phone was going off even though it was off. I pulled out my phone just to check.

"534 messages! How do you even get that high!" I shouted into the wind.

The night was nearly here and it was quiet. There were maybe one occasions car every ten minutes. The sun was directly straight with the flat roads. My phone started abruptly going off again. It wasn't HARLEY, I had blocked her... It was Dad... Oh god no... I quickly picked up...

"Hey sugar lumps! Where are you at right now?" Dad asked.

"Almost to the edge of queens... I'm walking home..." I said sitting myself down on a little cinder block on the side of the vacant sidewalk.

"Honey! Why didn't you send HARLEY to pick you up!" He said.

"I felt like walking!" I said.

"Listen get home now before the sun goes down ok! Dangerous times at night ok!" He said.

"How did the meeting go..." I asked..

"Oh ya know the typical let's be heroes and not obey these laws..." He said.

"Your Uncle Steve is doing a lot of bad things right now but the big threat I'm scared of getting you isn't with us so I'm worried..." He said.

"I'm careful dad! I'm always careful..." I said.

"Look I've gotta go talk to Steve again..." He said. "I'll tell HARLEY you'll be home soon ok? But I won't tell her all the details as usual.."

"Hah hah! Ok love you dad... Thanks for this..." I said.

He hung up on me just a bit after. Huh.. No I love yous.. He's really going through some stuff right now...

I heard a voice again. It was louder... Running was an option but I didn't feel like it. I sat still on the cinderblock not making a peep and I heard the shifting of feel from above me. I flipped on my flashlight from my phone and shined it above me through the levels of fire escapes. A shadow moved from up there to the top of the building across the street all being pulled by a grappling hook sort of thing. I started to freak out now. I stood up and heard something behind me. I immediately looked back excepting some creepy person to just be standing there... Relived I turned back and almost started screaming at the top of my lungs. There was a masked person hanging from the fire escape from a singular string. The goggles narrowed and focused on me once I spun my head. It's finger was already in front of my mouth and I hadn't even turned around the entire way. I stood there shocked I didn't even flinch. They were so close to me, I couldn't see around the red hoodies rim.. All I could see was red... Was it good or bad! Male or Female! Was this a heist or a greeting! I slowly began taking off my purse seeing if that was what it wanted. It took is finger off my mouth and pushed my bag back into my side.

"W-wha.." I whispered gently.

"I'm not here to rob you..." It leaned forward and whispered in my ear. It was a guy... "I'm here to protect you.."

"Excuse you?" I said at a higher tone backing up from him.

I backed up a little more from him. He backflipped off the railing he was hooked onto and landed on the ground.

"I don't need your help ok..!" I said sternly and walked past him.

"I'm only trying to help!" He said.

"Whatever String-boy..." I said and quickened my pace down the road.

PETER/SPIDER-MANS POV

I ran down and caught up to Brook. She continued running even though she knew I was with her.

"Ugh fine!" She said and stopped running. "What do you want String-boy!"

"I'm just here to make sure your alright...." I said with a smile.

"I don't need your help random superhero that my dad probably paid to do this!" She sternly said.

"Paid? That would be nice! But I don't work for anyone?" I said honestly.

"Just a friendly neighborhood.." She started to say before I lightly covered her mouth.

"Spider-Man," I said.

"Ok great thanks for the introduction Bug-boy..." She said shoving my hand out of her face.

"I'm going home... I'm already late!" She said checking her phone giving me a glare.

"Allow me!" I said starting to grab her hips.

"Ah! No thanks I'd rather die!" She said storming off her face beat red.

She was acting so different now... How was spidey different than Peter... Am I doing something different?

She began to get an entire streetlamp in front of me before I took it upon myself to get her home. I gripped onto the nearest building and swung in and grabbed her. I covered her mouth with my left hand and swung with my right. She wasn't screaming she was just pissed... I put her down onto of a chimney preventing her from going anywhere.

"Get me down now you bug freak!" She softly shouted. I swung around the chimney and landed on its side looking up at her.

"Ugh... Pervert..." She said sarcastically and stomped on my head on the side of the chimney throwing me down to the roof.

"Fine we'll talk from here!" I said loud enough for her to hear me.

"Take me to Cedric ave at the corner of Dearling St..." She mumbled..

"What! I can't hear you!" I slightly shouted to get her out of her comfort zone.

"Dearling St!" She said once again. "If your so keen... on taking me home take me home!"

"Yes mam!" I said gripping her waist once more swinging her up into the sky.

She screamed twice when it seemed like we were free-falling but she denied it afterwards. It was fun in the end.

"Right here?" I asked pointing to the corner of Dearling St.

"Yeah right there," she said with a huff..

"Any further?" I asked.

"Uhm no! Stalker..." She said trotting up the street.

Dearling St. was originally a small one story unit housing. Everyone bought the plot and built and up graded the original shack.. The street had 7 different houses on it! One was even rumored to be owned by the Presidents Kids! And another owned by Tony Stark! Like either of these were true! Most of them got their makeovers for free due to the massive rainstorm... It was a faulty  neighborhood but it was quiet and nice.

Brook turned left at one house and immediately began having war with my thoughts.. Cmon Peter! Dearling St! Go take a stroll show off you your friends! Go see what Brook's up to! Or it was shouting, Go Home Peter!
There were so many more reasons to stay! So I did...
