HOW IT WORKS // p. parker

Part 8

Peter felt like the world stops. Literally. He felt himself stops breathing either. He cannot believe seeing Lottie up at the top of the stairs, looking down right at him. Her free blond hair that curled at the bottom, her bright blue eyes that could see through his soul. Lottie was also stunned to see him there. She would think that he's crazy for staring at her. He admits it. He's scaring her out.

Peter wanted to go up and say hi. His heart is telling her to go, but his mind stops him. He's thinking, What should I to her? What should I do? Do I say hi or something? Hug her? Shake her hand? He couldn't make up a sentence. His knees were weak. He can't walk without falling. His heartbeat was faster than usual, even faster than having a marathon. And his tongue. His tongue were tied to the base of his mouth. He can't speak. And Lottie doesn't seem she could move either. Is she having the same effect as him?

However, then, a mystic sound caused them both to wake up from their dream. The sound came from Peter's watch, Lottie from her phone. The sound was the same. And the flashing of flash from Lottie's phone and the flashing red light from Peter's watch told them that there was something happening. Whatever it is, they need both of them.

"Where should we go?" That the first ever sentence he ever said to Lottie. It was much easier rather than a hi and a proper introduction. He didn't know what is happening. Does the sound mean they are a tem or something? For a mission?

"You should've known-"

"Yeah, it's this way." Peter pulled Lottie's arm, leading her towards a direction, he thought, where accident happened. In between the dark bushes, Peter decided to get changed, forgetting Lottie.

Lottie doesn't seem to care though. Because she is changing as well. When Peter saw her pulling her hair, he stopped abruptly, watching Lottie in confusion.

"Wo, wo, wo, wo," Peter was already in his Spiderman suit. It's his face that's left bare. Lottie didn't say anything. She continued taking off her blond wig and her thin white dress. It revealed tights and a tunic inside.

"Jessica?"

Jessica sighed. "I'm sorry, Peter." And she took off.
