Breaking The Unbroken

Chapter 18

*1 Month and a half Later*

Lyric's POV

I kept my grip on Dad and Papa tight.

"Be safe. Don't forget you have me to come home to so don't be too reckless." I instructed. Dad chuckled and kissed my forehead.

"We'll always come back to you Doll." Dad promised.

"You just remember that alright? You too, Mr. I-Like-To-Jump-Out-Of-Planes-Without-A-Parachute." I glared at Papa who just smiled and kissed my forehead as well.

"Take care of yourself Darlin." Papa mumbled.

"If you need anything we're just a phone call away kid." Uncle Tony said. This would be the first time all the Avengers left me at home alone.

"I'll be fine. After all, I'm 16." I scoffed. Nat scoffed back and patted my back.

"Still young enough to be scared." She teased.

"I'm not scared. Just concerned. What if I start a fire?" I offered.

"FRIDAY will put it out by activating the sprinklers." Clint said.

"Okay, worst case scenario, the tower burns down. Where am I going? Who is my emergency contact in New York?"

"Call Parker. His aunt can handle the two of you." Uncle Tony replied.

"So what you're saying is if I need anything, I'm to call your intern?" I asked.

"Basically. Now, as long as you have no more questions, we really gotta get out of here." With that I watched as the Avengers left me all alone in the tower.

In the tower by myself.

I sat in the living room and looked up at the ceiling.

"FRIDAY please open Netflix and play Finding Dory." I called.

"Of course Miss Rogers-Barnes." The AI replied. I left to grab blankets and snacks. It was around 6 and the sun was starting to set. I got comfortable on the couch and looked at my phone next to me.

"If I need anything, huh?" I wondered aloud.

Peter's POV

I sat in my room with Ned playing video games, like our Saturday nights usually were spent, when my phone rang.

"Dude, can you look over and see who it is?" I asked, eyes never leaving the screen.

"No way! You're just gonna kill me." Ned argued.

"I swear I won't!" Ned sighed and looked over at the phone.

"Lyric? Who's Lyric?" Ned asked. I quickly dropped my controller and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Peter, hey." Lyric's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Well, I was just sitting down and watching TV, so I thought what's Parker up to? Anyway, do you wanna come over?" My mouth dropped open as I looked at Ned who looked at me.

"I-uh-I...I have to ask my aunt. I'll text you back with her answer." I stuttered.

"Ok bye." Lyric replied. I hung up and Ned shoved me.

"Who's Lyric and what did she say?" He asked.

"She's that cute girl I was telling you about, the one that was like adopted by Captain America and the Winter Soldier, and she invited me over to watch TV with her!" I exclaimed.
