Y/N P.O.V. 

When we reached Comic-Con, we had to sneak in a back way so fans wouldn't block our path. Inside, each of us was partnered because of a budget cut to the bodyguards.

I kinda want to be with Tom but want to be with Scarlett as well. I should let them chose who they want to be with.

"Hey, guys, I have a list on who is paired, so gather around," Anthony said, standing tall. I gather around him and scanned the paper for my name.

Anthony / Sebastian

Chris E. / Scarlett

Jeremey / Mark

Robert / Chris H.

Y/n / Tom

Hmm, I guess I'm with Tom. I walked towards him with a smile. "Guess we are partners in crime!" I laughed quietly.

"Yeah!" he laughed. We stood together and chatted about our characters.

"Ms. Marvel is clearly the best," I said, leaning against a wall.

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say. I know in my heart that Spiderman is," he said, scoffing.

"Unlike you, she can become tall," I laughed, eyeing his height.

"What? I'm taller than you!" He stood up straighter.

"Aw, look at my ship sailing so far away," someone said.

I recognized it as Robert with Chris standing behind him. What the heck? Why can't I be friends with someone without people starting this nonsense? I was too deep in my thoughts to notice the fact that I was blushing.

I looked at Tom to see him rubbing his neck.

"Isn't it time for us to go into the con?" I asked.

"Oh shoot, you're right," Anthony said, checking his watch before jogging towards the front of the room. "Everyone grab to your partners, get to your places, and go."

I was already near Tom, so we walked to our bodyguards.

"Are you ready for this?" Tom asked, almost squished into me because of the proximity of the guards.

"Yep! Let's do this!" I said, excited. That earned a smile and a chuckle from both the guards and from Tom.

We were the second group to walking out of the room, and voices erupted as we headed out. People screamed "Robert!" or "Chris!" or "Tom!" so loudly it hurt my ears. A few people knew who I was, but not many because there had been a big announcement regarding me. I was grateful for the new people who called "Y/n!" proving that a few people knew I existed.

Tom did a cheeky smile and laughed as he waved to the crowd. Aw, look at him... No! I shook myself off and did the same to my smaller crowd. We sat down behind the autograph table.

"My hands are going to hurt after this..." I moaned.

"My hands are going to plan an escape route," Tom laughed, then glanced at me, while I was cracking my knuckles. I started to sign my autograph on the first papers.

"Hi! My name is Kelsy! I love you two so much, good luck on the shoot!" A nice teenager beamed at us as she rambled a bit.

I let out an "aw" and said, "Thank you for the luck. He'll need it." I smiled back at the girl.

"Hey!" Tom said, sitting up straight. The girl laughed, grabbed the autograph, and left.

A pretty ginger girl with green eyes came up, accompanied by a guy sporting brown hair and blue eyes. She spoke in a bright soprano voice. "Hi, Tom! My name is Linda and this is Max!"

Woah, I guess I'm invisible. Finally, a real superpower! I laughed at myself then gave Tom a glance as I signed the paper first.

"Nice to meet you too, Linda and Max!" Tom signed their poster and handed it to her. Immediately, she passed something back with a giggle.

"Call me!" And then she left just like that, with Max on her heels.

I knew it wasn't right to be upset. After all, Tom was an actor, so of course, people would crush on him. Still, I worried that Tom might actually call up the girl; she was certainly stunning... Y/n, cut it out! You have work to do!

"Nice to meet you, too," I called after them, signing everything in reach.

Tom laughed. "No love for Y/n, huh?"

I laughed with him as we continued meeting new people and even collecting gifts from a few excited fans.

My gifts were a poster of the Avengers, a mug, three blankets, fan art of me, and a very cozy hug. Among Tom's were a blanket, more than one phone number, an absurd amount of winks, a joke book, and a comic of Spiderman.

By the time we were done, my hands were cramping. "I knew this would happen. My hands hurt like hell."

"Same, but at least there are no more signing things. We just have to take pictures and then do our panel," Tom answered gently.

We walked together towards the next location, a security guard to each of our sides.
