Bloodstain//Peter Parker (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20

I stayed up the rest of the night. I didn't get any sleep. And I didn't stay in Peter's room.

I spent the night in the living room in the dark staring at nothing and thinking about my parents.

I didn't tell anyone about it. When May came out of her room I greeted her with a warm smile and acted as if everything was ok.

"You're up early." She says,

"Yeah, I know. My body just does that sometimes." I half lie,

"Well if you want you can get energized and go to the compound with Peter if you'd like." May suggested,

"I'll go to the compound but I think I'll go by myself."

"Oh. Ok. Well, eat something first, please."

"Ok, May."

..............

I walked into the Compound and headed to the training room.

I wasn't looking for anyone in particular. Running, training, fighting. They all relax me. They take my mind off things I can't figure out.

I was in the middle of kicking a punching bags ass when someone called out to me.

"Who are you?" He asked,

"Charles, Sir. Chloe Charles." I continued punching the bag with sweat dripping from my hair.

"Well, Chloe Charles, I don't remember you being an Avenger."

"I fought against the Russians" I said between punches, "Sam and Bucky said that technically made me one."

"Well instead of just punching that bag you've have to show me what you got so I can talk about it with them." He said,

"What do you want me to do?" I asked,

"Fight Sargeant Barnes."

I stopped punching the bag.

"You want me to fight the Winter Soldier?" I asked while looking at him, "The guy who was under mind tricks to become a major assassin who knows how to kill hundreds of people in at least 1 hour? You want me to fight that guy?"

"Yes. And he's not under any tricks. You'll do just fine. Punching that bag won't get you on my team." He started to walk away. "Come on, let's go. You have fighting to do."

"I'm sorry, Sir. What's your name?" I asked,

"Nick Fury. But you can call me Fury."

"Ok, Fury. I'm following you."

...............

We arrived in the training room where Bucky was waiting.

He smiled at me once I entered the room and I glady returned it.

"Step on the ring." Fury said, he took his place next to a woman with brown hair.

I walked up to the ring and quickly got in.

"Look, I'm not trying to hurt you, ok? This is only fighting you just have to pin me down and everything will be fine." Bucky said,

"Ok. But don't make it easy for me. Don't hold back. I have to prove my spot."

"Ok. Ready?"

"Yeah."

"Go."

We circled around the ring with our fists blocking our faces.

I went in for the first punch. He blocked me and kicked my foot so I could land on my back. He pinned me down.

"Stay focused." He said while helping me up, "Don't just try to fight me, use strategies."

"Ok." I mumbled,

He said go again and we went back to circling the ring.

Go in for the first punch again, he blocked it but I quickly turned around to elbow him in the stomach. He groaned in pain and I waited for him to recover.

"Not bad." He said wincing, "Come on, keep going."

I put my fists to my face and Bucky towards. He grabbed me in head lock. His arm around my tightly. I elbowed him in his stomach again letting his grip loosen and shimmied out.

I went on his shoulders and twisted him around so he could land on the floor. I kept his arm and leg in my grasp so that he couldn't move.

Seconds passed and I finally let go.

I looked down at him smiling and helped him up.

I looked to where Fury and the girl were standing earlier but they were both gone.

I looked back at Bucky smiling still.

"Great work." He said,

"Thanks. I just have to work on being better than you now."

"Woah woah woah. Don't get your hopes up that high." He said,

I laughed and stepped out of the ring.
