Once In A Blue Moon. (Pietro x Reader AU)

A night to remember

The next week was busy in the facility, with every Avenger bustling about trying to find my mother. Even I, the one with no powers or abilities, had to help. And one of the worst parts was that it was early December, so while regular teenagers were trying to guess their Christmas presents, I was helping fix an iron man suit. And to top it all off, My Uncle James was off on a mission somewhere for the week or two.

But I couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious Pietro that I met a week earlier. I miss him, even though I don't know him, is that weird? But Then, Uncle Tony snapped me out of my day dream.

"Y/n, can you hand me that reactor ?"

I was in Uncle Tony's lab helping him and Uncle Bruce try to fix the Mark 11 iron suit so it could be returned to battle-ready condition. Needless to say, it wasn't going according to plan.

Uncle Bruce had left to go grab some coffee and to calm down, because the last thing we needed right now was a code green.

"Oh uh, Sure Uncle Tony, let me just grab it here-Oh SHIT!" I screamed out in agony as a rack of 16 copper coloured test tubes spilled on my hands and arms.

Uncle Tony looked up from the suit and threw of his welding goggles as he ran over to me.

"Y/n? Oh God, get that off of you now! Damn I knew I should have put that in a safer place." He sounded panicked.

The copper liquid was burning on my skin.

"Uncle Tony it burns." I cried, "What do I do?" My skin was steaming and the smell of flesh was awful.

Uncle Tony grabbed my hand and dragged me over to the industrial Wash bin at the corner of the room, knocking over the Mark 11 suit in the process. He turned on the cold water and dunked my hand in, but before the serum could be washed away, my skin had seemingly healed. Just Then, Uncle Bruce and my Dad ran in.

"What the hell is going on in here? I hearf y/n. Is she okay?" My dad said.

"Clint, y/n knocked over asset 7 on to her hands, and I think it worked." Uncle Tony said under his breath.

My father then turned to me, "y/n, do feel different? Stange maybe?"

"No, not really, I feel good, just like before." I said, my voice cracking still from the crying just moments before.

Dad then turned back to Uncle Tony and Uncle Bruce, who was quiet through this whole thing.

"Keep her overnight, run some tests. We need to know what happened."

My dad then gave me a hug and left the lab. So once he was gone, I spoke up.

"What the hell was that Uncle Tony? Why did my hands burn to the bone and then heal? Am I some sort of freak? What was in those test tubes?" I was hyperventilating now, most likely from the bodily stress I just went through.

Uncle Bruce then spoke up, "Y/n, calm down. Asset 7 was a new form of soldier serum, like the one derived from the tesseract that was used on the Maximoff twins. We didn't think it would ever work but obviously it did. We are going to keep you here over night to see what actually happened." He paused,"y/n, you now have asset 7 in you. We will have to see what abilities it actually gave you before we can do anything else."

The night was loud, full of machines and monitors with their beeping and grinding. I didn't sleep once, I just sat in the lab on the concrete-like bed, staring at the ceiling and counting the heart rate beeps from the machines. I shivered as I pulled the paper thin blanket further up to my chin, as I continued counting.

I was at beep number 367 when a flash of blue shot through the lab, lighting up the darkness. I was confused until I looked to my right and saw none other than the silver haired boy I met a week earlier, holding my hand.

"Pietro?" I asked. I was a little confused because I didn't think he would remember me, let alone remember me. He flicked the light on, revealing a grin on his face.

He whispered," Hey y/n. Your dad told me about what happened. Are you feeling okay?" He sounded genuinely concerned and I wondered why he should care about a girl that he met a week ago.

"I'm fine Pietro, thank you. Why are you here?" I asked.

He took a shallow breath, "Well, I know we haven't talked much but I thought you could use some company. And seeing as I am the only one that is relatively close in age to you, I thought I would be the best suit." His accent made it sound even more genuine, for some reason.

"I'm glad that you thought of me Pietro, really I am. But, how did you know I wasn't going to be sleeping? It's 2:30 in the morning, and why aren't you sleeping?"

"Well y/n, if you don't know already, that serum you got on and in your skin earlier today was a very strong mixture of Steve's soldier serum and something along the lines of what was given to my sister and I." He paused, and looked up at me, blue eyes shining, "And the reason I knew you would not be asleep and the reason I don't sleep is that the serum alters your mind, taking away the need to sleep."

I was scared now. I didn't actually know what was in that test tube, and now I know that I might never be the same. This just added to the already tense Avengers tower. I didn't even realize that a silent tear was sliding down my face, until I felt a large warm hand wipe it away.

"Please don't cry y/n. You will be fine, now you can be an avenger with us!" Pietro tried cheering me up,"I think your Avengers name should be Raven, it suits a beautiful girl like you."

"Thanks Speedy."

I smiled like a mad women at the boy sitting by my bed, just now remembering that he had my hand in his. He seemed to notice and quickly pulled his hand away, and I don't know if it was just me, but I saw a small blush crawl up his cheeks.

Pietro spent the rest of the night by my side, keeping my distracted and happy. We lost track of time talking about our lives and weird things. We even came up with nicknames for each other.

I laughed at one of his cheesy Sokovian jokes before asking, "So how old are you Speedy?"

"17, what about you спаситель?" He laughed.

I didn't know what his nickname was for me, but I loved how it sounded when he said it.

"I am 16, but I am turning 17 soon though!" I was surprised by how close in age we were, he obviously was too.

"That's so cool!" He smiled, and looked at the alarm clock on my nightstand, "Holy! It's 7:30 already! Do you want breakfast? I can make pretty good cereal!"

I laughed, "No thank you Pietro. I'll hopefully be able to make it down there myself. But thanks though."

"Alright y/n, just let me know if you need anything." He got up to walk out, "Oh and my phone number is on your nightstand. Call me if you need to talk or anything." He turned and grabbed the door handle.

"Oh! And Pietro," He turned around with hope filled eyes,"Thank you for keeping me company, No one has ever done that for me before." I gave him a smile.

"No problem спаситель. I hope to see you soon." He winked and went out the door. Leaving me smiling like an idiot.

Hey loves!
I hope you liked the second chapter!
(Just saying спаситель is Pietro's nickname for you, you will find out what it means later! Or you can look it up if you want!)

Bye guys!!
