"DON'T OVERWORK YOURSELF TONIGHT," Y/n approached Eden, hugging him tightly as he sighed and hugged back with a small smile. His brown eyes sparked with sincerity as he replied, the two splitting as Charlie beckoned Eden to follow him. "I won't, I'll be careful. You stay safe too, alright?" Y/n nodded, glancing back at Chip. "Meet back at the tower in an hour."

Teasingly saluting, the two swung away with the help of their viruses. It didn't take long for Y/n to stumble upon some trouble, watching two people deal drugs as the white packet shone in the moonlight. Swinging upside down Spider-Man style, she mused. "Hey, got some for me too?" The man wasn't sure if she was serious, his hand reaching for his back pocket.

"Aw, c'mon! I was just being friendly!" Y/n smirked, flipping and landing on her feet as Menace took over her. With a scary clicking noise, she wrapped an arm around the girl who dared to pay for the drugs and swiped the gun from the man who threatened to shoot her. "Oops," She knocked out the drug dealer, putting both of them on her shoulders.

Taking them to the police station, she set them down and let Menace peel away from her mouth just so they saw her lips move. The officers took out their guns, the girl sighing. "Promise you don't want to shoot. I saw these two dealing drugs and thought it'd be worth it to hand them over to you. Uh, she was buying them. That's it, I guess." Shrugging, she left casually.

With a leap into the air, she swung on the edge of another building. Halfway through, a large robotic metal figure with glowing red eyes pinned her down. It made an angry beep noise and tilted its head, Menace quickly knocking it off with a loud clicking sound. Swinging away and towards a rooftop, Y/n landed as her fangs showed scarily.

The robot wasn't fazed, shooting out a grappling hook as Y/n flipped and grabbed the grappling hook, hurling it off to who knows where. Thinking she was done, Y/n turned around wide eyed at the sight of the robot returning to her. As it nearly hit her straight in the face, red and blue spandex knocked it off with a powerful swing and a kick to the side.

"Thanks, I owe you for that." She breathed momentarily, Peter offering a thumbs up before the robot came running back. Peter swung, doing a flip and avoiding it as the robot crashed into the rooftop. He yelled, already wheezing slightly from the workout. "I need you to pin it down! I know how to take it out!" 

Menace nodded, making a clicking noise and grabbing the android's attention in an instant. With a spin and a stretch of a limb, Peter managed to stick webbing into the gears. Since it's been a year of the robot's disappearance, he swore and yelled at Y/n, but it was already to late. The shock of the self destruction flowed up her arm, giving her a painful surprise.

Falling to her knees, he offered to help, but she merely flipped him off with a wince and a scowl. "Guess I don't owe you anymore," Standing up, Y/n shook it off with another hiss before sharing a look with Peter. Bringing up the topic, Menace disappeared from her skin and revealed her large white hoodie from Charlie and black ripped jeans, sneakers slipped onto her feet too.

Peter apologized, stuttering nervously. "S-Sorry." She didn't say anything, letting Menace stretch out from her left arm and wrap around the robot, hoisting it up and over her shoulder. Y/n wasn't able to take a step forward, an eminent shock running through her again as she felt like she was about to vomit at any given moment. 

He caught her almost instinctively, prying the robot away from her and setting it down on the roof. Picking her up with a quick sweep of his arms, Y/n frowned and verbally retaliated, too weak to even physically push him off or roll away from him herself. "Let me down, Peter! Someone's going to steal that thing!"

The freshman in college looked at her with a studious glance, "It's either you or that shitty piece of metal and I'm not taking that chance. I'll pick it up once I drop you off." His answers were curt and clear; it was obvious that he didn't want any argument. Whether it was the refusal to have a debate over it, pure exhaustion, or cleverness at this point, Peter wasn't very sure himself.

She didn't say anything else, gently wrapping her arms around his neck with a reluctant sigh and letting him swing her away to the Avengers tower. Lying and letting her lead him to her bedroom window, he slid it open carefully before laying her on the bed inside. He was prepared to swing out the windowsill again when Y/n stopped him, reaching a hand out weakly.

"Thanks, Peter."

His eyes went soft at the sudden gesture, brown eyes glimmering with recognition and appreciation before he awkwardly cleared his throat. Tapping the white rim, the nerd nodded and somehow his voice dropped an octave. "Yup, anytime. W-Well, not anytime. When you're hurt, but I won't carry you everywhere. I mean, I will, if you want. Wow, that's weird. I'm sorry."

His rambling was constant, making the girl laugh before wince in pain since it tortured her abdomen so much, even if it was a simple action that showcased her amusement with the boy and his words. "Quit rambling and go save the neighborhood, Parker." Peter gave a thumbs up, "Right, right."

Stupidly, he managed to trip backwards and fell out the window. Thus, making Y/n only laugh more, knowing that he'd be just fine. Peter was latched onto the wall of the building with his webs, soft thwips sounding the air shortly after. "I'm okay! I'm okay!" Landing on the old rooftop again, Peter let out a low whistle before scolding himself.

"Idiot! Idiot! Yeah, great! So smooth, Peter! You're a fucking genius - ow!" 

Out of pure idiocy and distractions, he'd managed to kick the robot and yelped in the act, moving to hold onto his foot and hop around as a flow of curses left his lips behind the mask. From behind him, a blond haired boy chuckled softly and tilted his head, ebony eyes illuminated in the moonlight.

"Real smooth, Parker, real smooth."
