Not the Only Ones

Trying to recover...

It was now the next day and everyone sat around spread out in silence. Tony walked in and sighed.

"Ok guys so we faced a pretty major loss yesterday, and it was a good hustle out there. And now we know what we need to build on so we can beat that Dude." Tony said putting down his paper onto the table.

"Are you seriously making jokes right now?" Danielle yelled looking up.

"She was a great asset to the team but we will
Move on." Tony said.

"You can't just move on though, Charlotte was an amazing person and I could have saved her." Danielle cried.

"I get that she was your friend but we need to move on-"

"Shut up! Ok just shut up!" Peter yelled making everyone jump.

"Kid don't do this." Tony said.

"No you listen to me Mr...-Tony. You can't just forget about her, she was the most powerful one here and I tried to save her. I could have saved her but I froze. So I'm sorry but I quit." Peter said throwing his suit at tony.

"Hey kid I told you not to get attached to her.
You can't just leave you are in it for the long haul." Tony said.

"Like I was able to listen to you. You don't control me Mr.Stark. And I quit and you can't change my mind." Peter said storming out of the building.

"Guys." Tony said quietly. "We have faced losses before. But we have to stay focused before Bram alam a ding dong comes back and takes someone else." Tony said.

"I hope he does, and I hope he takes you." Bucky said through his teeth standing up and walking upstairs.

"I want to fight." Danielle said.

"No." Mia said.

"Shut up Mia, I have to avenge Charlotte in anyway I can. And I will by crushing his skull between my hands." Danielle said.

"I like your attitude." Tony said.

"Fine, I will. For Charlotte." Mia said.

"Ok, let's get to work." Tony said.

Over the next two weeks they did nothing but train. Improving their skills and even finding some new ones.

Mia was walking down the street when she saw peter walking the opposite way with his hood up and earbuds in.

"Peter!" Mia called after him and ran up to him.

"Oh...hey Mia." He said softly putting down his hood and ripping his earbuds out.

"We need you." Mia said.

"No, I can't." Peter quickly said.

"Please. Do it for Charlotte." Mia said.

"Don't say that name." Peter said.

"This is what she would have wanted." Mia said.

"You don't understand I can't fight for her." He said looking away.

"But why?" Mia asked. Peter looked down and took a deep breath. He looked up his eyes watering.

"Because I could have saved her." He said his voice breaking. He looked down and tried to calm down but was getting fed up with himself "I could have saved her, every time I close my eyes I see her and.." He said tears falling down his face. He quickly wiped them away. "And I can't go on thinking that I did everything I could to help her. God I have saved her so many times why was this different?" He said getting even more fed up.
