Spiderman and Starks Daughter

I Wish I Could Help

(Peter's POV)

I woke up about 4 hours later. My head was still on Veronica's lap and she was still playing with my hair gently. I loved the feeling of her hands in my hair. I looked over to a small tv and realized that she had earbuds in and was watching a movie. 'How did she manage to get the earbuds?' I wondered. 'She must have asked someone to bring them to her.'  I decided.

She must have noticed that I was awake because she looked down at me and said, "Hello sleepy head." 

I sat up slowly still in pain from the fight earlier. "Hello." I whispered, my voice crackling a little bit. Even my throat hurt.

She giggled a little. God her giggle is so cute. 

"Are you feeling any better?" She said softly cupping my cheek. 

"Honestly, not really. It hurts all over." I replied weakly. Now that my adrenaline from the fight and making out with Veronica was gone, it felt like I had no strength at all. 

I tilted my head back onto the back of the couch. I didn't want Veronica to see how hurt I was but I honestly couldn't help it. The pain felt like it was ripping me to shreds. 

Veronica softly laid her head on my shoulder, careful not to hurt me. "I wish I could help." She whispered while she softly ran her hand down my chest. 

(Veronica's POV) 

He was clearly in a lot of pain, but he was trying not to show it. But I could sense it. 

He tilted his onto the back of the couch, closing his eyes. He was in so much pain and I only wished that I could help him. And I knew that I could, but my father would be furious if I told anyone about my powers, even Peter.  And the fact that I could help him but I just wasn't allowed too, was absolutely killing me.

I rested my head gently on his shoulder as not to hurt him. "I wish I could help." I whispered, while I softly ran my hand down his chest. God I just wish I could help him! 

"There's nothing you could do. Except be here with me." He whispered into my ear. His breath sent shivers down my spin. If only he knew that I really could help him. Sadly I rested my head down on his lap. Now I was tired since I had been awake for 26 hours straight now. 

Peter began to play with my hair as I fell asleep. Feeling his soft touch made me feel so safe.

2 hours later...

(Peter's POV)

I guess I had fallen asleep because I woke up to a bit of a jolt as the plane landed. Veronica stirred slightly, but didn't move. And I didn't want to move either. I didn't even want to open my eyes. So I decided to just stay there like that. 

I heard the Avengers moving all around me. I could even here them whispering if they should wake us up. Finally I opened my eyes reluctantly, to find Bucky walking towards us. 

He smirked at me then knelt down to face Veronica. 

"Wake up idiot. We're home." He said softly while brushing a strand of hair from her face. 

If anyone else did that I would have been jealous, but I knew that Bucky was like a brother to Veronica, plus he was like 100 years older.

She didn't react so he poked her face, which she just scrunched up, but she still didn't wake up. He smiled at her then picked her up bridal style as if she weighed no more then a pillow, and carried her off the plane. 

I stood up, and almost fell back down, but held myself together, because I didn't want to seem weak in front of the Avengers. So, I grabbed my bag and walked down the steps. As soon as I got inside I found a couch in a dark corner and plopped down on it and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. 

 A/N: Hi everyone! I hope your enjoying the story! Sorry this was such a short chapter. More to come soon! And I promise that they'll be longer!
