Chapter 31

New year came sooner than anyone saw coming. It had been a busy couple weeks, with the team trying to figure out how to save MJ's friends. After days and days of working out a plan, they decided to do it next year (about 2 weeks from then) so that Michelle could at least go to school and they'd have some more time to think about it. After all, this was one of the most high-tech guarded HYDRA bases ever.

New years was just like every new years really. The only thing that was different, or actually, the only people who were different, were Peter and Michelle. This time, they both had someone to give a new years kiss (finally).

But apart from that, everything was normal. Until school started again.

Peter, Ned, Harley and Michelle were walking to school together, Peter and Michelle holding hands, and all of them just talking and laughing with each other.

"So, eh, Michelle," Harley started after a couple minutes of silence. "Those Charles and Flash, what's that situation about, actually. Because I've never heard the full story."

Michelle looked him in his eyes, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, although she decided to tell him anyway.

"Well," Michelle gathered some of the strength she had left, before continuing; "a couple months ago, I was walking from my house to SI, when I got attacked by them. They started to kick and punch me, and I didn't know what was happening, until I realized; they've done it before, but to other girls. I don't expect I have to tell you what I mean with it, because I do not want to do that. Basically in a few words; they tried to rape me."

Harley's eyes widen at the words Michelle said, as he held his arm in front of her, causing her and the boys to stop. He was about to open his mouth and say something about it, but Michelle stopped him, forming her own sentence.

"And please, don't turn into a rage monster that wants to kill them, I've seen that enough now."

Michelle chuckled at Harley's reaction, before walking away.

Some hours passed, and lunch break came around. As usual, Michelle sat in the corner of the cafeteria, but this time not alone. For the first time in 3 years, she had some friends to talk to, to laugh with.

Some minutes into it, however, Michelle left to go to the bathroom. Peter insisted to go with her, so she would be safe, and he would wait outside, but she went by herself. As she walked out, she felt an arm stop her. As she turned around to see who it was, she saw her life flash before her eyes.

Right in front of her, 2 centimeters from her face, was Charles. She was ready to turn around and walk away, but he pushed her against the wall, his hands pushing her back.

"We didn't get to finish last time." He said, a smirk landing on his face.

"You didn't even have permission to start anything." Michelle narrowed her eyes, whilst shivers went down her spine.

"I don't need permission for anything." The smirk on Charles face got bigger and bigger with every word he said.

As he got closer, Michelle clenched her fists, before punching him right under his left eye, causing him to back up. But before she got to run away, Flash came out of who-knows-where, and held her back this time.

"I'll have you," Charles got, again, 2 centimeters away from her face, his smirk growing with every word. "Wether you like it or not."

Michelle gritted her teeth, before forming her sentence; "You could never."

Peter was anxiously watching the door that Michelle just went through, wondering where the hell she could be. After 4 minutes, he got sick of waiting, and left, leaving Ned and Harley alone.

As he came closer to the bathroom, he saw Michelle, backed up against the wall, Charles way to close to her face, while Flash and some other dude were watching, laughing at her.

As he saw Charles coming closer (once again), he ran towards him, his fists clenched, ready to punch him on the side of his face. But before he came close enough, he got pushed against the wall by Flash, followed by a punch in his face.

Michelle saw everything happen out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw Peter getting punched in the face, she lost all sense of self control.

"Okay, that's it." Michelle grabbed Charles left fist, the one that had been stroking her cheek (yes, he's that disgusting) before pushing his upper-body down, and her knee in his stomach. Charles backed away, before letting out a loud groan, while Michelle ducked under his left arm, so she was standing opposite of him, as she grabbed his arm, and threw him over her shoulder.

She let out a loud sigh when she felt a hand grabbing her right arm, as she quickly turned around and punched the other dude in the face, causing him to fall back. As he saw Michelle moving towards her, Flash quickly let go of the chocking Peter, who, as soon as he dropped to the floor, gasped desperately for air, and got in a fight position. But he was too late, as Michelle already kicked Flash in his stomach, causing him to lose his balance, and stumbled back.

Peter got up on his feet again, and as he did, Michelle wrapped her arms around his neck, as tears filled her eyes. Peter didn't hesitate, and wrapped his arms around her waist, keeping her safe.

"I should've listened to you." She said, her voice cracking as a tear dropped down her face.

"It's okay," Peter's voice started to shake, as he finished his sentence. "I'm here now."

Michelle vowed that this was the last time she was going anywhere in the school alone while the two boys were still around. Even the bathroom.

"Ehm, Michelle?" Peter asked, not pulling away. "Where did you learn to fight like that?"

"Natasha taught me." She answered simply. "I was a quick learner."

Peter chuckled.

"I can see that, yeah."

They walked back to the cafeteria together, MJ no longer feeling the need to use the bathroom anymore. They didn't talk about it with the others, the two boys being smart enough not to ask about Peter's quickly growing bruise.

Oh boy, Tony was going to get murderous if he saw it, probably dragging Bucky's ass from Wakanda (where he was staying with Bird-Man) to kick some teenage butt.

Peter decided to stay at May's that day, probably inviting MJ over. He was not waiting for an Overprotective Dad Speech.

The group of friends walked together to their next class after waving goodbye to Michelle. They watched her leave with Pepper, and Peter felt like half of him was being dragged away with her.
