All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Prologue

The moon shone brightly in the sky, stars accompanying it as pale light covered every surface of the desert's terrain. Cactuses and rocks cast dark shadows on the dirt, the biggest shadow being cast from a small mountain, covering the surface of a small cliff in darkness. The cliff was completely hidden in darkness and was at least a hundred feet above ground level. This made it a serious problem, as anyone could easily walk straight to their death without a source of light, but to a young man, it was the perfect cover. He sat in his old and broken-down car in silence, looking over at the faint light coming from the small town in the distance. It was by no means a great place to live, with crumbling buildings, unsafe water, and drugs and alcohol more prevalent than food and money. It was home. A piece of shit home, yes, but it was all there was for miles on end, and no one who lived there had the money, or the gas, to make it out.

The young man sighed, raising the lit cigarette to his lips before taking a long drag and blowing it out the glassless window. He had been sitting on the cliff since sundown, as per the request of his customer. They had insisted he follow the exact instructions given to him, "or else". He almost laughed when he heard those words. Checking the clock once again, his anger rose as it read midnight. He heard a rustle in the back seats, causing him to turn around. His brows scrunched together as his eyes focused on the seats, his heart skipping a few beats. When he heard nothing, he settled down, relaxing in the worn driver's seat and taking another drag.

His relief was short-lived as a black car rolled up onto the cliff alongside his own. Jealousy bubbled within him as he gazed upon its sleek metal surface, shining even in the pitch black of the shadows. The young man watched as a figure stepped out of the car, clad in black. He was just barely visible due to the bright headlight of his car, the young man's eyes burning as he adjusted to the sudden light.

The young man rolled down his window. "Finally, I thought you'd never come. I've been waiting here for hours," he said bitterly.

The figure chuckled. "Ah, yes! Sitting and smoking for hours on end. Very back-breaking," they said, stepping close to the jeep in slow steps. "Straight to business. Did you bring it?" he asked.

"Yeah, I did," the young man said as he opened his door and stepped out, flicking his cigarette bud into the dirt.

The black clad man took a step closer, as if wanting to follow, yet keep his distance. He watched as the young man opened the door to the back seat and leaned in. A second later, he leaned back out, holding a basket by both handles before turning around, giving it to the mysterious man in front of him. The black clad man looked down into the basket, a scowl on his face.

"What's got you so pissed, asshole?" the young man asked him, hissing as he spoke in irritation.

"Nothing. Just pissed you decided to use a basket instead of something more proper," the black clad man said as he reached into the basket and pulled out a small baby.

The small baby fit perfectly in his arms as he replaced the basket, which had been dropped and forgotten on the ground the instant it was securely in his arms. It slept peacefully, wrapped in a tattered old blanket covered in dirt and grime. It only stirred for a moment, its small face scrunching together before relaxing once again.

"How old?"

"Four weeks,"

"Boy or girl?"

"Girl,"

Both men stared at her, their attention focused on the small babe in silence.

"So, about these powers you mentioned, are they real, or were they a lie?" the black clad man asked.

"Oh, they're real alright! They get crazy when she cries, and she's always fucking crying. Almost killed me with a flying knife and destroyed a building already. Heard about your organization and contacted you guys. Never heard of HYDRA before, though," he answered.

The mysterious man smiled, his grin hidden in the darkness. He had heard that line hundreds of times by now, being a HYDRA agent. Lots of illegal deals and meetings with people who didn't even fully understand who they were.

Fools making deals with the devil, he thought.

"Did she get her powers from you?" the HYDRA agent asked.

"Me? No... She got them from the bitch of a mother," he replied.

"Where is she now?" the agent asked.

"Spread over the sand in ashes. Died in labor. We already planned to give her away long before she was born, but this is a good pay," he said, smirking at the thought of the money he was owed.

"Or not," the HYDRA agent said, swiftly pulling out a gun and pulling the trigger.

A gunshot rang through the air, echoing in the desert. The Young man dropped to the ground, blood seeping from the large hole in his head, his eyes wide open. A look of shock was stamped on his dead face.

"Can't have someone like you wandering around knowing about us," the HYDRA agent mumbled to himself.

As he turned around to walk back to his car, he froze in place as he heard the quiet sounds coming from the baby in his arms. "Shit," he whispered, the baby breaking out into a cry.

Her wailing cut through the air, filling the space with loud cries. The HYDRA agent rocked her in his arms. And then he felt it. Raw magic flowed through the air like radiation. He could feel it, emanating from the baby, never once faltering as it flowed from the source. The agent watched helplessly as the ground shook, cracks forming in the mountainside. Rocks began to tumble from the top, crashing down as the wind picked up, almost blowing them both away. He had to stop this before they both got killed. He may not have had experience with babies, but his girlfriend did teach him a few lessons back at their base. He took a deep breath, holding the baby close to his chest, protecting it from the bone-chilling wind.

"You are my sunshine... My only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray,"

The baby in his arms opened her eyes, his voice cutting through the wind with ease as it died down some. The agent smiled, happiness and relief taking over his heart. Knowing that he was doing something right, he kept it up.

"You'll never know, dear, how much I love you, so please don't take my sunshine away,"

He watched in fascination as the destruction around him grew smaller and smaller with each word he spoke. It was as if he seemed to be casting a spell, hypnotizing the small babe with his voice.

"The other night, dear, when I was sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms... And when I had awoken, I saw you smiling, so I laughed alongside with you,"

Bit by bit, everything had stopped and returned to what it was. The wind ceased, the tremors calmed down, and the cracks that had cut into the mountain stopped spreading. Everything stopped except for him. He kept singing, not in fear that she'd start crying once again, though it was excellent motivation, but rather because he didn't want to stop. Something kept him going, a feeling that this was right. The HYDRA agent gazed lovingly into her open eyes as she did. They were curious, as she stared up at the strange man holding her so securely. She had never been held... At least, not like this. Her tiny mind couldn't comprehend it, but it basked in the positive feeling it brought.

"Because you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, you'll never know my dear, how much I love you, so please don't take... My sunshine, away,"

The HYDRA agent smiled as the baby lay in his arms at ease. Her hands fidgeted as she cooed up at him. "There we go, baby, shhh... It's ok, it's all ok now, I'm here. I promise, you won't ever be alone again... I know I promised Kate that she would name you, but I can't help it... You look like the prettiest (y/n) I ever saw,"
