The Forces of Nature ✧ Peter Parker

11: Step 6

Step six. The step that Peter has been waiting for. He can finally and officially recruit Y/N. He didn't know how to do it, though. Maybe he could butter her up first like what he did on the previous step.

Peter wanted to just get her on the team, but he knew it wouldn't be easy. Nevertheless, he knew he had to start somewhere. So when he and Y/N were walking around the mall on a peaceful Saturday, Peter knew he had to shoot his shot.

"Y/N, I realized something." Peter started.

"Yeah?"

"We're, like, friends now and we both have powers." Peter whispered. Y/N nodded, "That's correct. What about it?"

"I'm on the Avengers, right?" Peter said. "And we need a new member. I figured that you might be interested." He shrugged. He was trying his best.

Y/N pursed her lips and said, "I'm, uh, really not into the whole hero thing. I told you last time; I want to live a normal life."

"But we could use your help, though. You're a great addition to the team, Y/N. We'd be powerful!" Peter smiled excitedly.

"And while that's true, I'm still not sure. I'm sorry, Peter." Y/N gave him a sad smile. Peter nodded, "Okay."

Y/N felt guilty for letting Peter down. "How about this- show me what your job is like as an Avenger or something for a week and if I'm not enjoying myself, I'll turn down your offer and go on with my normal life."

"And what if you enjoy it?" Peter asked.

"Do I get a welcome basket?" Y/N giggled.

Peter laughed it off as they continued to stroll around the mall. "You know, we could go there now if you want." He shrugged.

"Okay! I have nothing to do anyway." Y/N said.

"Really?"

"Yup."

"What about our Spanish homework?" Peter smirked, knowing full well that she hasn't done it yet.

"Let's not think about that." Y/N shook her head. "Let's go!"

The pair went to the compound and Y/N thought it would be nice to bring something for the avengers. After all, it's not everyday that she could meet such interesting people. Peter went straight it with Y/N trailing behind him with two boxes of pizza.

He told Y/N to buy donuts instead, but she didn't want to. She insisted on buying two large pizzas for the heroes. After all, they deserved it. They entered the elevator and a voice came through the speakers.

"Hello, Peter. Do you want me to notify Tony about your arrival?" F.R.I.D.A.Y asked.

Peter shook his head, "Uh, no thanks. We'll just be here for a while and I want it to be a surprise." 

"Okay, Peter."

Y/N looked impressed, "Wow. That was cool!"

"Does that make you want to join?" Peter asked as they reach their destination.

"I need a little bit more than that, but I'm very impressed." Y/N smiled as she and Peter exit the elevator and walk to the living room where everyone was.

"H-Hey guys! I've brought a guest." Peter smiled.

"Peter, what did I tell you about-" Tony said but as he turned around to look at Peter, his jaw dropped when he saw Y/N. In fact, all of them were surprised to see her. Because of this, Y/N felt awkward and uncomfortable under their gazes.

Peter cleared his throat, "This is Y/N. Y/N, these are the Avengers."

Y/N looked at them and she was starstruck. She didn't know what to do except smile at them. Her knees were weak and suddenly the two pizza boxes felt super heavy.
