Alone

29: Peter's Apartment

I looked at my phone screen as I stood in front of a tall apartment building checking the address one more time. I took a deep breath as I walked inside. Once I finally got to the his door I raised my hand to knock, I stopped I started to feel more nervous, but after a few seconds I knocked on the door. As the door opened it revealed a brunette woman who had a very welcoming smile on her face, she looked to be only in her thirties.
"Elizabeth?" she said as she stood in the doorway.
"Yes, that's me." i said giving her a smile, she seemed so nice and welcoming.
"Come in! I'm Peters aunt, but you can call me May. Peter told you we're coming over, only he's not here yet." She said leading me into the cleans apartment. "He supposed to be here soon though. I'm sorry about that."
"Oh it's no problem really." I said as I followed her. She was walked into the kitchen and pointed me to a chair.
"Have a seat, let me make you some tea." She said turning to the stove. "So you and Peter are  doing the Stark internship together?"
"Yes, we are. I have been doing it for a couple years." I said as she handed me a red mug, that smelled of mint. "Thank you!" I said taking a sip.
"So how did you get to be doing the Stark internship?" She asked sitting down in front of me.
"I uh, when Sokovia you know fell, my sister and I were left alone, we lost- we lost a lot, so we were alone. And Mr. Stark he helped us have a place to call home, and he gave me an education and offered me an internship." I said, then took a seat of my tea, to calm my nerves after talking about Sokovia. I looked up at May, who had a look of concern and pain.
"I'm sorry you went through that. You know if you ever need anything I'm always here." She said, I felt a sudden feeling of comfort from hearing her words. I had never met someone so kind to someone they had just met.
"Thank you, so much." I said giving her another smile.
"Peter has been non stop talking about you since Germany, you know." She said turning around putting her mug in the sink.
"Really?" I said as I smiled to myself, once again my cheeks turned red, and I felt butterflies in my stomach. Hearing that he talked about me made me so happy.

"Yes, when he found out you were going to his school he got really excited." She said turning back a round and giving me a smile. I was about to say something when a knock came to the door. "I'll get it." She said walking to the door and opening it. "Oh Ned! Come in, Peters not here yet, but you go to his room if you want." She said opening the door all the way, Ned walked in holding a large thing of legos while smiling at me.
"Hey Elizabeth!" He said walking forwards.
"Hello Ned!" I said smiling back. He then walked down the hall to a room, that I assumed was Peter's.
May and I talked for about an hour more until a loud crash came from Peter's room. I stopped myself from gathering the darkness.
"I'll go see what happened." May said putting down her cup of tea. As she walked down the hallway I continued to sip my tea, I could hear muffled voices but stopped myself from entering their minds as I felt it would be rude. A couple minutes later May walked out.
"Elizabeth would you like to join us and go out to eat?" She asked, Peter soon walked down the hallway and stood behind her. He had a look of stress on his face, but his smile widened when he noticed me.
"Hey Elizabeth! Sorry we didn't really get to hang out, but you should come with us." he said with excitement in his voice.
"okay, sure!" I said excited to finally get to spend time with Peter.
We soon left getting in May's car and driving to a place not too far down the street. Once inside we all ordered and waited patiently.
"I am going to go to use the restroom i'll be right back." May said standing up from her chair and walking to the restroom. Peter turned to me and smiled.
"Sorry I didn't get there sooner, I lost track of time." He said.
"Don't worry about it. What was it that you were doing?" I asked, wanting to know more about him.
"I swung around town, you know," he leaned in close to me, "being Spiderman, and the craziest thing happened, there were these guys robbing a bank and I went in to stop them but they had these high tech weapons and they blew up this deli across the street so I went to go help Mr. Dilmore but when I went back to the bank they were gone."
"Did you get a look at their faces?" I asked intrigued by what he had witnessed.
"No they had masks, and so much was happening I didn't get to see their faces." He said leaning back.
"We should try to find out who they are, so we can stop them." I said, as it had been a while since I had done a mission, or more use my powers.
"Yes! That would be awesome, you and I as a team! We should!" Peter said excitedly, his excitement with working with me made me happy. "Don't tell Mr. Stark but Ned found out i'm Spiderman, I think he thinks your you know," i nodded my head understanding. Soon May came back and sat down, and not too long after our food came.
"So how many classes do you two have together?" May asked taking a bite of her Larb.
"All except for one." Peter answered, with a slight smile on his face. Peter's gaze moved to a tv in the corner, it showed a news broadcaster, and then videos of Spiderman swinging around a bank then finally the bank on fire. May noticed we were both staring passed her and turned around, Peter and I exchanged a look before May turned back around.
"Can you believe it, only two blocks away. If you two see anything like that happening, I want you to turn and walk away, got it?" She said sternly. We both nodded our heads, and looked down at our food. My phone soon buzzed, I picked it up and saw a text from Happy, it read that he was outside the restaurant ready to take me home.
"My ride is here. Thank you for having me, I had a great time." Is aid smiling at May I then looked at Peter, "I'll see you tomorrow Peter."
"See you tomorrow Elizabeth." he said giving me a warm smile.

Peter POV:
I watched as Elizabeth walked out of the restaurant, I smiled before turning back around, to Aunt May who gave me a smirk.
"She's really nice Peter," She said still giving me the same smile. "And quite pretty," I knew exactly what she was doing. "I see the way you look at her, and talk to her."
"What are you saying?" I said, getting nervous.
"Do you like her Peter?"
"W-what no, why would you think that? I-I don't like her like that!" I said, not sounding anywhere near truthful.
"Okay, whatever you say Peter." She said taking a bite of her food. "But in case you were wondering, I think she likes you too," I felt my cheeks turn red.
She would never like me, why would she?
"Really? What makes you say that? N-not that i care." She looked up at me giving me a smile again.
"I can tell by the way she looks at you, or how she smiled when i talked about you." I couldn't help but smile at what May told me.
After dinner all I could think about was Elizabeth, her smile, the way she talked, and how she seemed so strong yet so sweet, the foreign feeling took over my mind as I fell asleep.
