Twisted and Tangled (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter One

  It started when I was four years old. I was perfectly happy, or at least I thought I was. I lived with my mother, and my "father", or who I thought that's who he was.

  One day, my "father", (his name was Charles, but everyone called him Charlie) found out I wasn't his daughter. He had learned that my mother had had an affair with another man while he was out of town on a business trip. This mans name was Tony Stark.

  Charles went insane, he set the house on fire with me and my mother inside in the middle of the night. My mother realized what was happening and helped me escape through the window. She didnt make it out.

  Charles was infuriated to see that I had made it out of the house, and he tried to kill me without the fire this time. Lucky enough for me, the powers he had given me backfired on him.

  Charles was a bit of a mad scientist, as most people would say. That's why he was out of town so often. Carrying his experiments to other towns. Testing all these deadly concoctions on willing people, ready to give up their lives for scientific research. When he was in town, his main test subject, was me.

  I was only 2 when he had started these experiments. He tried 2 before the third one kicked in properly.

  The first test was manipulation of objects, basically Wanda's powers, (but I havent introduced her to the story yet, she'll come in later) however this test on me failed miserably and left no traces of any sort of telekinetic power in me anywhere.

  The second test was super strength. I have slight traces of these powers. They're emotion based, so when I get stressed, angry, or tense they basically come into play. (Like Bruce, but again, we havent got there yet).

  And the third test, the only test that worked properly, my invisibility powers. They work without a suit. Some sort of glowing purple liquid was injected into me and whenever I command my body too, it just turns invisble.

  When Charles had set our house on fire, killing my mother from smoke inhalation he was arrested on scene because a neighbor had called the fire department. They found my mother inside dead. They took Charles into custody, and found me hiding in a flower bush in our front yard. They took me to the police station where they asked me questions about the fire and Charles.

  Charles was charged with arson, first degree murder, attempted murder, and was to be in jail for the rest of his life. I haven't seen Charles since.

  Since my mother was now deceased, and Charles was in custody they had to find a place for me. They looked me up on file and saw that my biological father was indeed the billionaire, genius, playboy, Tony Stark.

  The police department got in contact with Pepper Potts, and told her that they had me here. She of course flew all the way down from Manhattan to come and get me. I lived out in LA at the time. We took a plane back to Manhattan together and I was ready to meet my father.

  When we arrived I was tired, scared, and I just really needed a hug. Pepper took my hand and led me into a big building, otherwise known as The Avengers Tower. It had men and women lounging, fighting, and eating inside, and they were all very friendly to me. A woman with short red hair came up to me and shook my hand. She introduced herself to me.

  "Hello, sweetheart." She smiled, "I'm Natasha, but you can call me Nat." I nodded and smiled back.

  "Where's Tony?" Pepper asked the Avengers.
"Pretty sure he's in his workshop." A blonde haired man had said.
"Thanks, Steve." Pepper said, gently taking my hand and leading me to my dads workshop.

  When we walked in, my father was sitting on a stool with his head in his hands.

  "Shit." Pepper mumbled. She took out her cellphone and called Nat downstairs where she took me back upstairs to meet everyone.

  Natasha introduced me to many guys and a couple of girls.

  "Usually there aren't this many people here, but they all wanted to meet you." Nat whispered to me.
I smiled and nodded.
"This is Steve, Bucky, and Sam." She said, pointing to three men who sat next to each other. They all smiled.
"Then there's Wanda and Vision."

  We continued all around the room until I had met every Avenger in the tower. Except for one, my father.

  My father ended up having a panic attack as I arrived. He told Pepper he was worried about not being a good dad. Pepper assured him he would be, and eventually my dad did come around. And Pepper was right, he was the best damn dad a girl could ask for. Every day he picked me up from school and bought us ice cream. Every day he would ask me if I needed help with homework. And every god damn day he reminded me that I was a beautiful, smart, hardworking girl that would make it anywhere I wanted to go in life. So when people say my father's a narcissistic jerk, I say that in return.

  My father could've left me for nothing, but instead he took me. All the Avengers took me in and raised me like we had been together our entire lives. But when they found out I had powers, that's when things got a little harder.

  The Avengers found out about my invisibility a couple months of having me in the Tower. Me, Bucky, Steve, and Nat were playing hide and seek, and when they couldn't find me anywhere in the Tower they started to worry. But I was in the tower. I was hiding in my closet. After hours of me waiting to be found, I got bored and stumbled out of the closet into the living area.

  "Hello?" I called.
"(Y/n), where were you?" Bucky called, walking into the living room. He paused and looked around. "(Y/n) this isn't funny anymore, come out of your hiding place."
"But, I'm not hiding anymore." I said, touching the tip of his fingers.
He flinched when I grabbed his hand.
"Where are you?"
"I'm right here." I said.
Suddenly it felt as there was a weight lifted off of my shoulders. He could see me again.
"How long have you been able to do that, (y/n)?" Bucky asked.
I shrugged.
"A long time."

  Bucky ended up telling everyone, and they pulled me out of normal school at the age of 4. I would be homeschooled from now on until I could control my powers. Home school was pretty fun, I got to hang out with my family, do whatever I wanted when I wanted, but not having any friends sucked. But this year, things were going to change. Why? Because I was starting my Sophomore year. In a real high school. Midtown High School. And I couldn't wait.
