Dragon girl

chapter 12

*A few days later*

Cassie's POV

I had been in an unstable phase for a couple of days now and it was like being in a coma, you were sleeping but you could still hear everything that happened around you. Which meant that everyday Peter came by and talked to me I could hear his every word, how his day at school was and that his Aunt was worried about me, and of course Ned. But he would also tell me sometimes how he missed talking to me, about being Spider-man and just, life. Sometimes I could hear a tint of sadness in his voice and I realized that I missed talking to him too. I didn't know how he felt about me, if we were just best friends, because every time I saw his smile my heart would always skip a beat. Maybe that's what caused me to go unstable. But this day was different, nothing had changed because Peter was outside telling me about his day, but I felt different. I felt like I was just waking up from sleep even though I was still conscious, that I just needed to open my eyes and wake up. I tried to get my eyes open and it actually worked! I was lying on the floor and the walls was covered in scratch marks and burn marks, the tables and chairs were all gone. I had probably destroyed them, I felt really bad for what I had done while being unstable. I moved my hands, feet and head slowly and then decided to get up. I could still hear Peter talking in the speakers about how he had helped a lady find her way and how she had bought him churros, I giggled when I heard him say how stupid it sounded. I slowly walked up to the door and knocked on it, I could hear Peter's reaction.

"What the..?"

He stood up and put his ear against the door.

"Can you hear me Peter?" I asked.

"Omg! Cassie, you're awake!"

"Yes I am, Peter." I giggled.

"Mr. Stark, you need to get down here now!" he called.

"What is it kid?! Did something happen?" he came running down the hall.

"Put your ear against the door."

"What? Why?"

"Just, please? Trust me."

I tried not to giggle so I wouldn't ruin the surprise for him.

"Okay.."

I could hear him lean against the door, I took a deep breath.

"I'm really sorry for what I have done." I said through the door.

"Omg..Friday open the door and disable safe room protocol." he ordered quickly.

The door made a click noise before being pushed open to reveal Peter and Tony standing there looking at me. I ran to Peter and hugged him, I felt a few tears go down my cheek as I hugged him.

"I've missed you so much." he said in the crook of my neck with a bit of a shaky voice.

"Me too." I simply replied before letting go.

I hugged Tony as well.

"Good to have you back kiddo."

"Feels good to be back."

When I had let go of Tony I saw Peter fiddling with his fingers and standing kind of awkwardly.

"Are you okay Peter?" I asked him with a little smile.

"Is..is it true when they say that a person in a coma can hear everything around them?" he asked looking at the floor.

"Yes Peter. But don't worry, it was really nice to listen to. You kept me company and I thought it was really sweet of you."

I could see him blush slightly before we decided to go up to the common room again because I was really hungry, you can't really eat something while being unstable. When we walked in to the kitchen I could hear Bucky's and Steve's voice talking to someone I didn't recognise. I walked in with Peter next to me, Tony had gone back to his lab, and in beforehand me and Peter had decided to try to sneak up on them. At first Peter didn't want to because we would literally sneak up on a super soldier and an assassin but I begged him and after a little beggin he agreed. So we started to sneak up behind them and I gotta say, we were really quiet, when I reached Bucky I jumped on his back with my legs around his waist and arms around his neck. Peter just screamed 'BOO' behind Steve which caused him to jump around and try to grab Peter but his spidey senses warned him and he webbed himself to the roof. As for me I kinda deserved what happened, when I jumped on Bucky's back he immediately grabbed my neck with his metal arm and threw me across the room so I crash landed on the couch table which then broke in two halves with me on top. He realized what he had done and ran up to me to see if I was harmed but instead of me crying or being unconscious I was laying on the broken table laughing with tears down my cheeks.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! I COULD HAVE HARMED YOU!!" he screamed.

Instead of answering I just laughed even more, I don't know why but I couldn't stop laughing. He looked at me with dead serious eyes trying to make stop but when I didn't he gave up and started laughing as well. Peter crawled on the roof until he was above me and looked at me with questioning eyes, Steve also walked over and to see what was happening before he just smiled. I stopped laughing and was now just laying on the ground trying to recover from the incident, Bucky helped me up from the floor and brushed some wooden pieces off my back. Finally the third person walked over and he was a male in his thirties, his skin was darker and he had a shaved head. He just looked at us with big eyes.

"What the hell just happened?"

"Oh sorry, Sam meet Cassie and Peter." Steve said and pointed up at the roof when mentioning Peter.

Peter dropped to the floor and shook his hand.

"This is a weird family." Sam said under his breath.

"Cassie, let me see how your back is doing." Bucky said.

I turned around and pulled up my shirt, it was completely red and a few scars had formed from the wooden splinter.

"Well that's going to leave a mark." he said.

"That was probably one of the stupidest idéas that you ever had." Peter stated.

"Being unstable for a few days with no human interaction gives you pretty dumb idéas."

"Omg! Cassie you're awake!" Bucky exclaimed and hugged me.

"Took you long enough to notice." I joked.

"Well I would've noticed sooner if someone jumped on my back."

I shrugged and the turned my focus to Sam and shook his hand.

"Sam here is a part of the team." Steve said.

"Oh really? Welcome to the family." I said with a smile.

"I hope this isn't a thing that happens often in your family."

"Don't worry this was the first time."

"But how did your back not break from that? I mean if I were thrown on a table by a guy with a metal arm I would probably be dead."

"Well I'm stronger than you think and not a normal teenager."

"You look pretty normal to me."

I smiled at him and the others saw a glint of mischief in my eyes.

"Oh no." Bucky said.

"What do you mean 'oh no'?" Sam asked a little worried.

Another day another chapter! So a bit longer than the last one. I'm not sure when I'll be updating next because of school killing me with a bunch of tests. I feel like a prisoner.. But hey, what are you gonna do about it? Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter! <3<3
