Amethyst and the Spider (SEQUEL IS UP!)

There will be hell to pay

My head was killing me, that was pretty much all I knew.
My head was killing me, and once again, I was in my bedroom when I didn't fall asleep in my bedroom.
Who could have gotten me up here?

For all I know dad was still in India, and mom was constantly busy with the company. Happy was still at Stark Tower. And everyone else was at the compound.
I heard some clanking around going on outside of my room and I froze.

Am I not alone?
I wasn't sure if I should walk out and confront the stranger that was in my house, or if I should just wait it out until they leave.
I looked at myself in my mirror.
"Check it out." My reflection and I said at the same time.
I grabbed whatever weapon I had near me, which just happened to be a bat.
Don't ask me why there is a bat in my room because I honestly could not tell you.
I was holding the bat close to me as I tip toed down the stairs and followed where the noises were coming from.

I had gotten down to the first floor, but it was harder to pin point the sounds since there was such an echo. I kept getting lost until eventually I got closer to the kitchen and heard the main source.
If someone is raiding my kitchen there will be hell to pay.

I could tell the person was on the other side of the wall I was hiding behind. I took a few deep and quiet breaths before doing anything irrational.
I have to do this. I gotta save myself.
This person can be a murderer, kidnapper, both!

You can never be too careful.
I leaned off from the wall and prepared myself for battle, counting in my head.

1...

I squeezed the bat tightly.

2...

I went on my tippy toes so that I'd be able to sprint faster.

3!
"AHHHH!" I screamed, running into the kitchen and swinging the bat as hard as I could into the intruders stomach.
Whoever it was hunched over immediately and let out a loud grunt.
Just as I was about to swing at him again he put his hound out for me to stop.

"w-wait.." he gasped with a weak voice.
I eyes him suspiciously, then my eyes truly focused.

"Peter?!" I gasped

He tried to look up at me but simply nodded his head while toppling onto the floor while clutching his stomach.
"Oh god!" I kneeled down quickly to try and ease the pain, but I just smacked the shit out of him with a baseball bat so I didn't think there was much I could do.
"I am so sorry!"
I wanted to smile really really bad but it just seemed like a bad idea at the time.

"W-wow. You g-gotta good arm." He huffed.
I couldn't help but let out a laugh.
I got closer to him and held his top half on my lap as I removed his wavy brown hair from his face and started to lightly play with it.

"Are you Okay?" I smiled down.
When he looked up at me, my breath caught. Never have I ever seen such a beautiful specimen.

"I am now." He whispered, his eyes trailing lightly on my face as his own features grew soft.

How does he do this to me?
How come I feel weird whenever I'm around him? It shouldn't be natural, this can't be a natural feeling.
I hadn't even noticed that the both of us were getting closer by the second, what happens when we get too close?
What do I do then?

Millions of thoughts fluttered my mind and I became startled in the real world, backing up and closing my eyes.
"I-I'm Sorry." I said, getting up and refusing to meet his eyes.

He cleared his throat and stood up rather fast.
"No I am. I uh... I shouldn't, ya know, I-"

"It's okay.. peter." I smiled, still looking down at the floor. I turned my head to the oven slightly and saw that it was nearly 10 at night.
"Don't you need to get home soon?"

He waved me off.
"Ned is covering for me and saying that I'm staying with him tonight. We have Nationals tomorrow so, I'm 'staying' with him tonight."

'Staying'
As in he wasn't going to really stay there?
Where would he sleep then?
I looked up at him and immediately regretted it but asked my question anyway.
"Where will you stay?"

His hand went to the back of his neck and began to scratch nervously.
"Well Uhh, I was thinking. I-if it's okay with you.. I can- I can just stay.. here."

Wow that was difficult for him.
"Sure."

Easy answer, easy situation, there are tons of extra bedrooms and everything, he can just take one of those for tonight.

His body language perked up and he was happy.
"Okay, uh, cool." He smiled.
He continued to look at me which just increased my shyness.

Look away, look away..

But I couldn't.
"You're face." He stated out of the blue.

"Excuse me?"

"N-no, I-i didn't mean it in a bad way. I-i was just... well I just noticed that you-.. your face is, healed."

Healed?...
Oh right, the lab.
Wait..
"You're the one that took me from my lab!"
I guess I shouldn't have been shocked, I'm smart enough to have put two and two together  but I just didn't think of it.
"How did you get into my lab? If you would have initiated SOS protocol then everyone would still be here grilling me about what happened and then I'd be mad at them because they were keeping such a secret from me but-"

I stopped for a few, thinking my ramble through.
The last person who brought me here and initiated SOS protocol was Spider-Man, not... Peter.
How did Peter know where I live?
Or know how to get around my house?...
No, it can't be.. he can't be.

"How did you know where I live? And how to navigate the inside of my house?" I looked at him and he seemed frozen.

"I Uhh, y-your dad told me... I told him that you didn't come to school, a-and that I needed to help you with our trip, tomorrow.."

Oh my god, the trip to DC for nationals. I completely forgot about that.

"But none of that matters Bella. You were hurt, and now you're okay?.. Y-you're lab was destroyed. So unless someone broke in and hurt you, who could have done that?"
We stood five feet apart just staring at each other. Neither of us moving a muscle.

He must know. He must know what I am. What I can do. He saw what I did, he was the one who helped me. He must already know.
"I-..."
he waited there for me to respond, but I couldn't, I didn't know what to say.

"I know that you did it."

Well I already figured that out, I'm just trying to think of something to say. Do I say 'okay'?
Where could we go from here?
He sighed and rubbed his hands along his face.
"Follow me." He mumbled through his hands, leading the way.

He took me to the elevator, it was still shattered and broken, but we got in and it immediately started to go down.
"Whatever you did knocked your systems off, so I was able to come in without initiating the.. SOS protocol?" He asked to confirm. I nodded and looked at my lab. The glass what all cleaned up and giant new pieces were already in the lab waiting to be built in.

"I need to show you something."
I followed as he walked me over to my computers, there was already a video that was showing.
"After I put you in your room, I cane back down to help clean things up a bit, noticed that there were cameras everywhere. So, I went ahead and found these."
He played the video, and it was me, in my testing room. I looked like an absolute mess, probably still do, and I was trying to.. Well, see what I could do.
The videos sound was cut off but soon enough, what looked like a gigantic energy blast released from my body.
Peter paused the video then looked at me.
"How did you do that?"

"I don't know."

I am so sorry!!!! I know that these chapters aren't exactly "exciting" these are just fillers until we get to the action packed scenes. Everything needs those fillers that'll get boring sometimes.

But thank you guys for those who are still reading! I promise this isn't how the story will keep going! I've got big plans😏
