Peter awoke during the night. It took him some time to realise something was wrong when he realised Freya wasn't in the bed beside him.
Peter frowned and sat up "Freya?" When he heard nothing he stood up from the bed and made his way over to the bathroom and pressed his ear against it.
His frown deepened when he heard soft crying coming from the other side and tried the door handle to see if it was unlocked.
He opened the door and the scene in front of him broke his heart.
Freya was sat up against the bathtub, her arms wrapped around her legs as she buried her head into her knees.
Peter knelt down in front of her and placed his hand on her knee. Freya, who didn't realise he had walked in, jumped back causing Peter to lift his hands up in defence "It's just me"
Freya looked around the room confused as if forgetting that she even got got out of bed and into the bathroom.
Her gaze reached the mirror and it stopped on it as if in a trance. Peter followed her gaze only to see the mirror was smashed and blood covered the sink.
He grabbed her hands gently and turned them around to see the back of them dripping with blood and small shards of glass in bedded into the skin.
Peter felt the tears beginning to form as he looked back up at her "Babe..."
Freya looked down at her hands as if just realising the pain "I-I don't remember doing it"
Peter bit the inside of his cheek trying to prevent his tears falling, knowing that something was going on more than just nightmares.
Instead he stood up and went to the sink to wet a towel before making his way back over to her.
He held up the towel hesitantly "Can I?" When Freya nodded softly Peter started to clean up her hands. Once the blood was cleared and all the glass was removed from her hands he wrapped them up with some bandages he found under the sink.
He placed a soft kiss of the back of her left hand and pulled her towards the door. She let him take her over to the bed and sit her gently on the end of the bed.
Peter sighed and knelt in front of her "I'm going to go clean up in there, will you be okay out here?"
Freya nodded which was the confirmation he needed to make his way towards the bathroom to clean up the mess.
Once it was done he walked back into her room nothing she had moved so she was lying under the covers, facing his side of the bed.
Peter turned off the lights and laid down beside her. He wanted to ask her about it but knew that now wasn't the right time. So instead he wrapped his arms around her protectively as she fell back into a slumber while Peter laid there in the dark wide awake, afraid of going back to sleep.
When Freya awoke in the morning she was alone in bed. She frowned and went to sit up but hissed as her hands hurt at the pressure.
She looked down at her bandaged hands and everything came back. Knowing that Peter wasn't beside her means he's probably worried as hell and probably told Tony.
Frey cursed to herself and got out of bed to quickly get dressed. She ran out of the room once she was dressed and went straight to the living room but stopped when she saw Peter and Tony sat next to each other.
Peter sensed she was there and stopped their hushed conversation and faced her causing Freya to frown. He looked exhausted.
Tony on the other hand had tears in his eyes as his gaze landed on his daughter "I know you hate it when I pry but I said if it happened again I'd get involved"
Freya opened her mouth to speak but Tony beat her to it "And don't say it was an accident because it isn't the first time something like this has happened"
Freya let out a shaky sigh knowing there was no point in lying anymore and sat down on the couch in front of them "You talked to Shuri didn't you?"
Peter nodded his head "She sent the results over"
Freya looked away "Then I guess you know they are not just nightmares"
Peter stood up from the couch he was on and moved so he was sat next to her. He placed his hand on her knee comfortably and gave it a squeeze making her turn to face him "How long has the sleepwalking been happening?"
"It started a couple of months ago" Peter nodded his head "And that was when you decided to get help?"
Freya nodded her head "The nightmares started after I started training again. Bruce told me it was just the PTSD as my body had gone through a lot but then after time they got stronger and sometimes they weren't just memories"
Tony ran his hand over his face and sighed "This is my fault" This caused Freya to shake her head, so fast it hurt "Don't say that"
Tony stood up and started to pace in front of them "Yes it is! It was Bruce and I that thought we could separate the powers from your DNA and permanently destroy them"
Freya stood up and grabbed his arms to stop him from pacing "And if you didn't you would've lost me for good. You stopped it from consuming me. Maybe it isn't possible to get rid of the powers when it will be part of me forever, I was born with them. I wasn't given them"
Tony looked at her sadly "What if they do come back and this time we can't prevent it"
Freya glanced at Peter over her shoulder then back at her father "I'm pretty sure I have something to keep them out but anyway it's just in my head, we can't be for certain that I'm about to shoot fireballs out of my hands anytime soon"
Tony thought for a second and pointed towards her bandaged hands "Take them off"
Freya looked at him confused before doing what he said and started to unwrap the bandages. Once the bandages were gone Freya lifted her left hand up only to see the cuts slightly healed.
