In love With Peter Parker: TIED TO THE FAMILY (BOOK 2)

PART 15

*Matthew*

Captain Fury ushered me into a back room. He sat me down in a metal chair and strapped my arms down with leather belts. "Hey, hey!"
I screamed, struggling against my bindings. "What are you doing?"

Captain Fury just watched me with a cold expression. "Help, please!"

As I struggled, my wrists felt hotter and hotter and so did my temper. Noticing my change, I settled down and tried to be patient.
"Please let me go. What's going on?"

Captain Fury smiled. And then his face transformed to a woman. She had shortish blond hair. She wore a blouse and women's khakis. I'd seen this woman before. I don't know where from but i do remember her...

"You don't remember me do you? You gave me a nasty little burn with that web fluid of yours. It burned right through my super natrual force resistant body suit."

I cocked an eyebrow. Suddenly an idea struck my head. I nodded along. "Why did you attack us that night?"

The woman sniffed and began to walk a wide circle around me. Every time she was behind me, I would tilt my wrist ever so slightly upward. My direction? The belts. "Well you see little Peter, I don't like you very much."

My eyes widened. "Little Peter?"
The woman froze. "Matthew. Little Matthew. Years ago you're father did a horrible thing. He met my daughter. She was in a bad place. In a gang. Doing some kind of weird "second hand smoke" gig. But she was normal. Until she met your father. And then she was... different.
"She wanted nothing to do with me until she had her first child. And she took it as a time to connect with me. We became one. We loved one another and I-"

She choked.
"I loved my granddaughter. But then you're father had yet a second child. You."
My eyes grew wider. "Wait, wait. You're talking about my mother?"

The woman nodded. "Precisely little Matthew. And do you know what happened when they had you? They ripped away Azelia from me. They took my only love away... because I didn't love you."

My heart pulsed and tears welled up in my eyes. "Oh." I squeaked.

The woman knelt down to me. "I wanted to love you Matthew. I did. But you're too much like him."

I looked away silently and bit my lip to stop the tears. Soon my mouth felt drowned by copper. Blood trickled down the side of my mouth. I'd left a huge hole in my tongue. The woman saw the blood and her face softened.
"Grammy Alice wanted to love you Matthew. But you're father is the reason we can't be happy."

My tears stopped resisting and fell down my cheeks. I sobbed so hard I felt myself wrethcing and dry heaving. Alice watched in shame. Shaking her head she walked away, leaving me there with my feels and tears.

About an hour later I was done sobbing. I had to break free. I looked Down at my bondages and shot a nice hot, sticky web at it from underneath. The leather melted, but the remaining web slinked down my wrists and I let out a roar as it seared my skin. The leather was melted. Ripping it off, I walked to the door. It was locked of course. I ripped angrily at it but it wouldn't budge.

My heart hammered. My palms grew sweaty. "Let. Me. OUT!"

A supernova of blue energy exploded around me and the wall slowly started to crumble. Dust fell from the ceiling and a huge, thick block of cement slowly formed intricate cracks. I couldn't move. There wouldn't be time. Yet, I knelt down and covered my head bracing for impact.

I heard a soft
Bump
Off my back and I slowly lifted my head. A force field was spread around me and rocks bumped right off of it. I smiled and looked around to thank whoever was saving my life. But nobody was there.

Was it possible...
Could it have been...
...Me?
