Torn

"Hold on, what?" Sam looked very confused. Steve just stood there dumbfounded. Katia rolled her eyes and went back to her room as Natasha told the women the story of how she had found Katia and basically everything leading up to that day. There were a lot of questions, like "How did we never know?" or "Why didn't you tell us?"

Katia was in her room the whole night. She didn't bother going up to the roof that night. She knew that he probably wasn't coming. She just didn't know why. She sat alone in her room, late at night with her blanket wrapped around her, crying to keep herself awake so that she wouldn't be pulled into a cruel world of nightmares.

Suddenly, Katia heard her window squeek open. She wiped her tears and took the gun out from her drawer. She pointed the gun at the source of the noise but it was just 'Spiderman' standing there, petrified. "What do you want, Spider-boy?"

"You weren't on the roof so I just wanted to come check on you." He explained innocently. It was just then that Katia saw his new suit. It really defined his muscles...

"Yeah, well you weren't on the roof the whole weekend." She tried to stop her voice from breaking.

"I'm sorry. It's just that it was important. And I wouldn't have left if it wasn't neccessary-"

"It's not a big deal. I just wish I had a warning, you know?" Katia interrupted. "So, new suit?"

"Uh, y-yeah."

"It's cool... do you wanna sit down?" Katia motions to the spot next to her on her bed. They both sat facing one another in cross legged positions. "Thanks for being here for me by the way. I know I'm probably a burden..."

"You're not a burden. I really like hanging out with you..." Katia had to stop her self from blushing. She felt a special connection with him even though she didn't know his name or his face. Their form of trust within each other was mistrust. He wouldn't tell her his name or show her his face and Katia wouldn't tell him any more than she had to when she was venting to him. 

His hand went up to his mask, lifting it ever so slightly. Only his shy smile was showing. Katia was confused. Then he said, "Hey, um... i don't know how to say this and you're probably gonna hate me after but-"

Katia cut him off by abruptly pulling him into a kiss. He was surprised at first, but then he returned the longing and passionate kiss with a slightly timid one, only to be pulled further. After a second, he moved his hands and intertwined his fingers in her long brown hair. It was almost as if he could feel a literal spark between them from the point when their lips connected. When they finally pulled away from each other for air, Katia said, "I could never hate you."

"I hope that's true." He pulled off his whole mask to reveal Peter Parker, the timid science nerd from Katia's school. The one she had made a point to avoid because of her paranoia and suspicions. The one who had always tried to talk to her.

She stared at him, her mouth agape. Then, she did something completely unexpected.

SLAP

Her eyes widened at what she had just done. "Fuck! Sorry! I didn't mean to do that! Or- I don't know what I meant to do, that was totally un called for!"

And even more to her surprise, he started laughing. Like, hysterically laughing. "I'm sorry this is like, the best response I could have gotten!" Then she joined in the hysterical laughing. The she realized that she might wake up Natasha.

"Shh! I just remembered, my mom might wake up!" He made a zipper motion accros his lips which almost made Katia laugh harder. "Um, do you mind if I, uh..."

"Oh, um... go ahead."

She put her hand on his shoulder and in one swift motion, his back was to the mattress. Peter was very flustered to say the least. He leaned up and kissed her. She returned the kiss, smiling against his lips.

Suddenly Peter realized something. "Shit!"

"What? What's wrong?" Katia seemed concerned.

"I need to go. It's already late and I have to call Happy- he's my supervisor- and then I still have tp have dinner with my aunt May-"

"It's fine, just go! I'll see you at school!"

"Thanks for understanding. Peter said as he got up and put his mask back on, heading for the window.

"Of course."

Peter caught a glimpse of a framed photo before jumping out of the window. It was Katia when she was younger along with... the Black Widow?!

(A/N - Okay, this chapter was relatively short but it's fine cuz it wasn't anti climactic, right?... Right? Also, Peter Parker is a bottom and no one can change my mind)
