Author's Note: Sorry for not updating in a while but I've been distracted lately. I was really inspired to update after watching the new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. I can't wait for the movie to come out! It's going to be really good. Anyways...This is the last chapter of Part II. Part III starts next chapter. I'm going to be going sort of AU after Spider-Man: Homecoming. I will be doing the Infinity War storyline eventually but probably making some changes to adapt it to my story. Infinity War probably won't come around until Part IV but Part IV won't be for a while.
Emma had been sleeping fairly peacefully when she was awakened by a strange commotion coming from downstairs. She had decided to go to bed early that night so Emma was fairly certain she had only been asleep for an hour when she woke up. After Peter left during the afternoon Emma occupied herself with finishing reading Wuthering Heights. While Emily Bronte was one of her favorite writers, Charlotte Bronte was definitely her favorite Bronte sister if she had to pick favorites. Now that's what Emma called a family legacy.
The blonde tiredly rubbed her eyes as she looked around the dark room. There didn't seem to be anyone in her room and she knew if there was then she'd be a lot more on edge. Emma slowly got out of bed, still feeling somewhat out of it after such a short period of sleep. The only light in the room was the moon streaming in from the glass windows.
"McConaughey, what time is it?" Emma asked the AI system tiredly.
"It's 10:07, Miss Rogers." McConaughey answered.
"Is Tony throwing a party or something? What woke me up?" Emma questioned, feeling a bit annoyed at being woken up after only an hour of sleep. She had survived on a lot less sleep but Emma had been catching up on her sleep recently after depraving herself of a lot of rest.
"It appears that there's a puzzling altercation with Mr. Parker, Mr. Stark, and a May Parker." If Emma wasn't awake before, she was definitely awake now. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as she heard that last name. May Parker? As in Peter's aunt? Emma definitely needed to see what was going on downstairs. The blonde quickly threw on a US Air force sweatshirt that Sam had given her as a last minute birthday present for her last birthday. Sam was never good with dates but Emma honestly hadn't cared about presents anyways. She spent nine years of her life without even celebrating her birthday or remembering when it was. Still...She had appreciated Sam's gesture.
Emma immediately wandered out of her bedroom and padded down the long hallway before reaching the railing that overlooked the main level. It was there that she saw Peter much like she had seen earlier that day. Only Tony, Pepper, and Vision seemed to be down on the main level as well but it wasn't them that had Emma's attention. May Parker stood in the middle of it all as she glared daggers at Tony Stark. She definitely wasn't the first person to give Tony Stark a death glare. Tony had been the subject of many of Emma's death glares in the past but that was all past them now. Emma was confused as to what the hell Peter's aunt was doing at the compound and at this time of night. It was then that Emma realized something...Peter Parker had a big mouth. A mouth that he just couldn't keep shut for the life of him. Emma rolled her eyes as she realized that he probably blabbed off to his aunt. Seriously...who hadn't Peter run his mouth off to? Would Flash find out next? Maybe Betty Brant? Emma stood in the darkness behind the railing as she listened to what the apparent argument was about.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" May practically screeched at Tony who flinched at the sound of her voice. Emma always knew that Stark didn't handle women being angry at him very well. She had seen Natasha, Pepper, and Maria angry with him enough times that he usually just tried to back out of the room and disappear. For a man who probably spent too much time with women in past he sure seemed to be afraid of most women...especially the furious ones. Although May didn't seem to be as scary when she was angry as Pepper was.
