Let's just say, Mr. Stark is pissed. Chloe's been unconscious for two weeks and nobody could be any more depressed. Everyone is treating her like she's about to die.
Mr. Stark doesn't understand that I don't know what happened. He said it was my job to protect her. It's hard to protect her when I'm not even allowed in the girls bathroom.
Mr. Banner thought it would be a good idea to do one of those full body scans on her just to see what happened.They wheeled her bed into their lab. I wasn't allowed in. Instead, I waited outside with Thor and Natasha.
"What are they doing to her?" Thor asked. I've kind of figured out that since Thor isn't from this earth, we have to dumb things down a bit.
"It's called a full body scan. They want to make sure she's okay. It's not supposed to hurt her." I said. I was pretty confident with my answer until I saw Thor look through the window in confusion.
"Then why is she doing that?" I turned my head and saw Mr. Stark and Mr. Banner taking cover under the tables. Things were flying everywhere. Suddenly Chloe shot up. She was awake.
"Dad?" She questioned. Mr. Stark ran back towards her as fast as he could. I got up to go inside but someone grabbed my hand.
"Don't do it Peter. She needs her dad right now. And only her dad." She added the last part with a strict tone. I nodded and continued to watch from the window.~Chloe's POV~
I woke up in my bed, but not in my room. I was in my dad's lab. I looked to see I had an IV in my left arm and my blood pressure was steady.
"Dad?" I croaked.
I spotted my dad under a table. He looked scared until he looked me in the eyes.
"Oh thank god." He said running up and hugging me.
"What's going on? How long was I out? Why are you so scared?"
"Something happened in the girls bathroom when you went back to school. You've been out for about two weeks. And no, I'm not scared, I was just worried got we're going to kill me." I stared at him in confusion.
"What do you mean I'm going to kill you?"
He let go of my hand and walked over to his computer which he turned into a hologram. It was of my body. There was weird blue energy flowing through it.
"What is it?" I asked.
"That's what Bruce and I are trying to figure out. What we do know is that isn't some kind of energy that's giving you these weird powers." I looked at him in confusion.
"What weird powers? I know you said I would have some but you never said what kind." He locked eyes with me before turning the screen around.It was a video of me dated quite a while back. I was laying in my bed while doctors were all around me. Then I started to glow. I started to levitate. All of the doctors either ran for cover or were already unconscious as the windows burst. That's when Peter ran in. He held onto me.
My dad turned of the computer.
"Oh" I mumbled.
"Yep. Bruce and I are trying to figure out a cure for these powers."
"What do you mean a cure?"
"A cure to get these powers out of you." My eyes went wide.
"What?!"
"It's not safe to have these powers."
"Dad come on. I know it might be rough but I can get though it. Besides, I have powers now. That's always been my dream. I can help the team on missions!" My dad shook his head.
"I don't like the sound of that. It's too dangerous and I won't be letting my daughter get into harms way." He argued."Why don't we let the team decide." I scoffed.
"Fine. If that's what it takes to get the idea of having powers out of your head, then be my guest to argue against me." He began to pack things up and walked out of my room. I looked down at my lap. That's when I got a weird sense someone was watching."How much did you hear?"
"All of it." Peter mumbled. He quietly made his way over to my bed and sat down next to me. He pulled my head onto his chest and help his hand onto my head.
"What should I do Peter?"
"Honestly, I don't know. It's not up to me whether you keep your powers or not. Or if there even is a cure. But what I do know is that your dad just wants to keep you safe. I know it might be hard to understand but he just wants what's best for you."
"Well what do you think?" I asked.
"I think it would be fun to go on missions together." I couldn't help but smile.
"I would love to." I said. I lifted up my head and placed my lips onto his.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat on the couch watching Friends with Peter. My leg was somehow heeled so walking was easy again.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm fine. I just don't know how I'm going to convince my dad to let me go back to school."
"I hate to say this, and it doesn't mean I have anything against you or anything like that but, I do agree with Mr. Stark. I don't think going back to school is best. At least not right now. Maybe you can come back for next year."
I lifted my head off of his chest and stared into his chocolate brown eyes.
"But what about Junior Prom?"
"Who cares. As long as I'm with you, I couldn't be any happier." He said as he gave me a kiss on my forehead.
"I love you Pete."
"Love you too."~~~~~~~~~~
My dad had called everyone into a large room. I hadn't seen this room before. Everyone took a seat and my dad, of course, took a spot up front. My dad began to go over training plans along with future missions. I felt Peter's hand intertwine with mine. He could tell I was tense.
"So." My dad started. "Before we go today, I wanted to have a discussion about my daughter." He looked over at Peter and I and we immediately dropped our hands.
"As you all know, Chloe has recently found out that she has powers. We aren't sure exactly what they are but what Bruce and I know is that they could be dangerous." I began to slump into my seat.
"But, we have come to an agreement. Chloe wants to join the Avengers." Our of the corner of my eye, I saw everyone smile.
"By a show of hands, who thinks she shouldn't become an Avenger." The only person who had his hand raised was my dad. "Bruce?" My dad questioned.
"No Tony. I think it would be great if she joined us out there. She's like a mini you." I couldn't help my crack a giggle.
"And those in favor of her becoming an Avenger." Everyone raised their hands.
"So I guess that settles it. Chloe is now an Avenger." Natasha said smiling.As we made our way out into the living room, i felt Peter's arm wrap around my waist. "Hey." He whispered into my ear.
"Hey."
"I can't believe you're an Avenger."
"I know right. If I can figure out these powers, I think I'll be having fun-"
"No fun on my watch missy. And get your hand off my daughter." My dad ordered. Peter immediately let me go. My dad shooed him away and ushered me closer.
"What's wrong Dad?"
"Follow me." He brought me into his lab and went straight to the computer. He showed me a 'map', you could call it, of my body.
"Bruce and I have been trying to figure out your powers. Like what they are and how to unlock them."
"And what powers do I have?"
"So far, you have telepathy, telekinesis, flight, and teleportation."
"Teleportation?"
"Yep. Don't tell Peter because I know he's going to freak but, I went into your room and you were gone. I ran out then ran back in and you were there again. Bruce and I did some research and that's what we figured out. We do believe that you will have other powers later but we don't know when they will show."
"So how do I unlock these powers?"
"Just practice. We don't know when they will begin to show. I know it's a lot to take in-" I cut him off by pulling him into a hug.
"Thank you."
"Anything for you Sweetheart." He said as his kissed the top of my head.
"I love you dad."
"Love you too."When I finally let go, I looked up at my dad.
"I do have one question."
"And that would be?"
"Can I go back to school?"
"I'll think about it."
"And if not, can I at least go to the dance with Peter. He insists that we don't go but I know he's disappointed."
"Like I said. I'll think about it."
"Thanks dad." I said giving him a kiss on the cheek and ran to my room.Peter was sitting in my bed, trying to find a movie to watch. It was our movie night. A tradition we had ever since we got together.
"Do you want me to get the snacks?" I asked from the doorway. Peter jumped at the sudden noise. I couldn't help but laugh at his clumsiness.
"Oh shit! Don't do that!"
"Sorry Peter. But can you answer my question?"
"Yes. Please go get the snacks. It's the least you could do for laughing at me." He laughed again before walking down the hall and to the kitchen. Steve was sitting at the table eating dinner and Nat was playing on her phone. I began to rummage the fridge for food. I found a tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream. I then went to the pantry and got chips, popcorn, and some candy."What are you doing with all that food?" Nat asked.
"Peter and I are having a movie night."
"All right. Have fun." She said as I began to walk down the hallway.
"Hey Chloe? Is that my ice cream?" Steve asked.
"Not anymore!" I picked up the pace and went back to my room."What movie did got pick?" I asked.
"Singing in the Rain."
"Again?"
"We don't have to if you don't want-"
"Do you ever shut up Peter? Yes! Let's watch it." I said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
By the time the movie ended, I was laced in between Peter's arms as my head laid against his chest. I could feel his heart beating.
I slowly felt myself falling asleep, but before I did, I heard Peter speak.
"Goodnight Princess."
