Peter was seated on his couch in his living room as he and his friends were going about their study time. The teenage boy had been depressed since his calls with Becca. He didn't like how she sounded, he could tell she was scared. He wanted to be there for her, to fight with her. But that wasn't possible. So there Peter sat, books and notebooks sprawled around him on the couch as Ned continued building his lego Millennium Falcon with Harry. MJ and Michelle were talking about an upcoming play on Broadway that seemed interesting.
"She'll be fine, Pete." Ned said as he took in the sight of his friend. The group of friends knew how distressed Peter had been, "Sof is capable of handling her own."
Peter sighed as he closed his notebook, "I know she is.. believe me, i know." He mumbles.
"Then what's all the worry for?" MJ asked cautiously, "Do you know something we don't?"
Peter paled, but recovered quickly, shaking his head, "N- No.. Nothing like that. She's just gets attached to people easily, Doctor Bryne is like a mother to her.. so to know she was in that bomb attack.. it's nerve racking."
"And her dad's brother in law, Bucky, was the one who caused the attack." Harry points out, motioning to the muted tv playing the news coverage of the attack on the UN. Peter wanted to correct his friend, but everyone who didn't know the whole story, thought that James Buchanan Barnes was responsible. "It hits close to her home."
"Very close." MJ agrees with her boyfriend. Peter nods in agreement, then tries to drown out his thoughts in his school work. He was also doing as much of Becca's as he could, to keep her active in her studies for when she returned.
May enters the room with groceries in her hands, Peter is quick to help his Aunt, "You get them?" He asks curiously, a small smile on his lips as he looks into the bags, seeing the chocolate chip Eggos. "Thanks, Aunt May."
"Be sure to save some for Sofia when she gets home." May reminds her nephew.
"Um.. Pete!" Ned calls for his friend, the volume of the tv getting unmuted, drawing his attention away from the Eggos. "You need to see this!" Peter walks over to face the tv, and what his eyes see. He does not believe.
"Is that Sofia on a motorcycle with Bucky Barnes?" Michelle questions, the group of friends huddled around the tv. Peter could clearly see that Becca and her father were trying to outrun the people pursuing them.
"What the hell." Harry mumbled under his breath as he pulls MJ into his arms, the redhead moving to sit on his lap. "This is nuts."
"This isn't right." Ned mutters in disbelief.
The friends watch in horror as the cameras showcase Becca clinging to Mary. Peter can only stand and watch as he witnesses his heart being taken away from her family. Her screams are deafening in his ears. He stands still as he watches her mother and uncle try to stop the men from restraining her, only to be held back. His heart shatters when he watches his Fia be muzzled. The tears streaming down her face as she continues to wail in torment as she's forced to the ground. Peter can feel all eyes on him when May shuts the tv off, not wanting to see anymore of the horror being shown on the screen of a girl precious to her.
