Family, Friend or Enemy?

[3]

As the early morning sun crawls through my curtains, birds start to twitter and flap their wings and engines roaring to life. I lay in bed waiting for the usual sound of my alarm, I couldn't fall asleep last night at all just the thought of my best friend having something that could've killed the Hulk and her own crush/best friend is heart wrenching. 

Winter Grace Creek my partner in crime, the prankster/clown, horror and superhero nerd overall the life of the party but what was in her bag and why did she have it? Peter got out of the hospital around 11pm I told him to pass me the bag so I could examine the bag more thoroughly, however like he always does he protested and said that he could do it. He must be extremely fatigued I turn over to my nightstand and press the home button of my phone, 6:13am it read I jump out off bed (it was more like a roll instead) even though I still have seventeen more minutes of sleep I head to the bathroom and showered.

I just wore a simple white t-shirt and blue denim shorts, I grab my bag and books as I walk out of my bedroom door. I hear the familiar sound of the kettle boiling, "I'm going to Peter's and from there I'm going to school." I said when I was within reach of the door I heard the prevailing voice of the one and only, "well that's no way to say good morning to your dad," I leaped into the wall, in awe I looked at my father, "why are you here I thought you're at the Avengers Tower?"

"Well first of all can I not stay a night to see my two wonderful children and their mother, secondly last night your mother and I talked over we've agreed that we shouldn't let the past shape our future so-"  He didn't need to finish his sentence I ran straight towards him and squeezed him tightly with excitement I kicked open Damian's door bubbling with happiness I jumped on him and started slapping his arms.  

"What do you want?" He said as I slowly fall off the bed luckily we both have quick reflexes I grab onto his bed frame whereas he grabbed onto my ankle.  I pulled myself up and screamed at the top of my lungs, "dad and mum forgives each other, we have our parents back Damian!"  Awestruck Damian looked at me then looked at the door his eyes widened more, I turn around to see my dad wrapping his arms around my mum's waist.  

Just like the old times. "Rainey didn't you say that you were going to Peter's before school?" I hear dad say I did a backflip off Damian's bed and ran towards the door, "your not going anywhere with no breakfast." I went to the table and took two slices of toast and three pieces of bacon, I raise my food filled hands at my parents waiting for the approval. My mum and dad looked at each then back to me and nodded I run towards the door where my lovely older brother is generously holding the door open. 

Peter's and mine are only streets away maybe a five minute walk to and fro from our houses/apartment.  As I progress towards Peter's the crowd intensified, children running out of doors with their bags on begging their parents to hurry up.  Shop owners beginning to open their shops, cat's and dog's wandering down the streets and people beginning to argue.  I knock on Peter's apartment it took a solid minute for someone to open the door.  Aunt May hugs me and gestures me to come in, her brown eyes are still glassy from last night but I know she's more than merrier to have Peter home and safe.  "How are you? Would you like some tea or coffee or anything?"

"No thank you but thanks for the offer, I just grabbed some breakfast before I left my house." Aunt May kindly smiles at me and continues with whatever she was doing before I came.  I walk towards Peter's room his door was ajar, I peer through the gap I chuckle at the sight.  Peter Parker butt sticking up right, his Spiderman suit half still on and his mumbling snores fill the room.  

I pull my bag off and carefully slowly walk towards the sleeping Peter, I aim at him when the door swings open.  I turn around to see Winter wearing an oversized black jumper and black converses.  I know that's she's wearing shorts but it's just being covered by the jumper.  "Why are you here? And is that Peter's jumper?" 

Winter just stares at me probably wondering that same thing, "uhm because I was just seeing if Peter was okay and yes it is his jumper remember.  We went to the movies and we were all walking home, the wind started to pick up and rain started to pour down.  I was shivering head to toe and was half drenched in water.  Peter took off his jumper and gave it to me I of course took the offer.  He told me that I could keep the jumper so I did so yeah. Also is that a onesie? Because it's extremely detailed." 

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I have to play it cool, "yeah it's a onesie. Peter made it himself that's why it's extremely detailed, also awwww." I start to playfully punch her on the arm, I smirk and tilted my head towards Peter's sleeping body and Winter knew exactly what I was asking.  She grabbed her bottle of water while I ready to aim my bag at Peter.  

I counted down from three - we urge towards him -  two - we lift our belongs as high as we could - one - I threw my bag to his back where Winter poured the water at his head.  Peter jumped out of bed he grabbed a hold and pulled the 'attacker' towards him.  I stand there awestruck, Winter is sitting on Peter's leg.  Peter's arm was wrapped around Winter's waist, Peter Parker and Winter Grace Creek are kissing in front of me for the first time.  

My heart melted to the floor, but it stopped when Peter pushed Winter away from him.  "I think you better hurry up and get ready don't forget school." I grab Winter's wrist and pushed her out the door first, I look back and see Peter awkwardly grabbing his school supplies.  Aunt May has left already so we sat on the couch, Winter's face was bright red like she was either going to faint or explode.  "Mate don't make it to obvious that you enjoyed it, turn the brightness down. I feel like there's another reason why you're here, is there?"

"Okay fine yes, I'm here to return Peter his bag he grabbed my bag instead." Lifting Peter's bag for me to see.  "Winter, what was in your bag yesterday? Whatever it was it nearly killed Peter." Her face turns more red, her head dropping to her knees.  "I'm sorry, it was for someone else I didn't mean to hurt him."  Winter began to cry I grabbed a tissue for her, I sit next to her and comfort her.  "It wasn't your fault Winter he'll forgive you, anyway what was it and who was it for?"

"It was a smoke grenade but more advance I put motion sensors in my bag so whoever reaches in my bag will activate the grenade.  I was seeing if someone does rob me and try to search my bag if it works, I completely forgot that Peter and I have the same bag."  The sound of something hitting hard on the wall came from the right of me, Peter was in the hallway all dressed for school with all of his books.  "Well let's go then, last person at school is buying everyone including Ned lunch."  I grabbed my bag and bolted for the door, I can hear Peter and Winter behind me now this is one way to lift the mood and make them forget what happened.
