Tea Time

Chapter 7

Peter's POV
I woke up to the sun streaming through the window, "FRIDAY, close the- oh right. I'm at Ned's." I said as I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and another pair wrap around my neck, I guess MJ stayed the night as well. "Am I allowed to sit up?" I asked even though I already knew the answer I would get. "Nope." they both said at the same time causing me to laugh, I felt Ned's lips form a smile against my neck as he cuddled closer to me. MJ began humming a song she has been singing to me a lot lately, but I can't remember the name of it. I drifted back to sleep to the sound of my boyfriend's heartbeat and my best friend humming.

Natasha's POV
"Someone is going to die. I don't know who yet, but someone." I said as I paced back and forth in Pepper's office. I heard murmurs of agreement from Peggy, Pepper, Clint, Scott, Thor, Loki, and Bucky. "I can't believe they feel that way. or that they would say that to the poor kid's face, we all know what he's been through especially Tony. He knows better than any of us." Bucky said probably rethinking his decision on wanting to come out to Steve. "Look,  I know that we're all a little on edge about this whole thing but we can't start planning their murders yet." Pepper said as she got up from her desk, "Nat, go check on our baby spider. Come back with a full report on how much damage my husband has caused." she said as she pushed me out of the room. "FRI, where did he say he was going?" I asked knowing that Peter would have told FRIDAY to let me know where he was so I didn't destroy the whole city looking for him. "Peter has gone to Ned's house." The AI responded instantly in a hushed volume so that no one would overhear. I got in the elevator and made my way down to the lobby.

MJ's POV
"Pete, wake up. It's time for lunch." I said in a soft tone as I gently shook my best friends shoulder. Slowly Peter opened his eyes and rolled out of bed, landing on his face. "Do you want me to carry you?" I asked, I was only half joking, I knew that if he was in little space at the moment that he might actually want me to carry him. Peter didn't give a verbal response, however, he did roll over and make grabby hands at me so I bent down and picked up my friend. "Leeds, your boyfriend is in little space," I said in a whisper yell remembering how whenever he's in little space his senses go from 11 to 30. Just as quickly as the sentence left my mouth Ned was taking Peter out of my arms so that he could hold him, Ned walked back over to the couch and sat Peter in his lap. I went to the kitchen to get Peter some lunch, I noticed a figure with red hair dressed in a black body suit. I handed Peter the PB&J sandwich and went to let in the assassin.

Ned's POV
MJ walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Natasha Romanoff standing there with a look of determination and concern. When Peter saw her he reached his arms toward her and I had to resist the urge to say 'aw' as I handed my boyfriend to a deadly assassin. "Hey Petey, how are you doing?" Nat asked knowing she wouldn't get an answer while he was in little space. Pete doesn't talk much when he's upset and he talks even less when he's in little space. "Pete, babe, we need you to come out of little space for a minute. Okay? Can you do that for me?" I asked in a soft tone, he nodded "can I not be alive today please?" he asked, "You have to stay alive and if I ever hear you ask that question again you will very much regret it. Understood?" Nat said in a calm yet menacing tone. How does she do that? "understood." Peter said his voice cracking.

Peter's POV
"How are you doing with everything?" Nat asked but I didn't respond. "Pete, please talk to me. I want to help, I'm here for you." She continued I felt the tears before I heard the sobs escape from my mouth. I felt arms around me as Nat pulled me into a hug. I don't know how long we sat there like that, all I know is that it had been a while. "I called Jason, he should be here in a few minutes. You need your brother during this difficult time." Nat said as she left to go back to the tower, she's one of the very few that know about my former sister. Honestly, I could care less if Jason was a boy or a girl, they're my twin and I love them no matter what!
