The Force Between Us (Peter ParkerXReader)

Chapter 29: Its Over

Just as we were about to enter the main room, a huge group of soldiers came around the corner, attacking us relentlessly. We fought back, but it wasn't looking good.

"You guys....go!" Tony struggled to order Peter and I. We looked at each other before mentally deciding to run into the room.

I pushed the doors open and took my chances to look around, and saw 2 people in lab coats facing a huge machine, with soldiers hooked up to it.

"It's over," I said very intensely, as they seemed harmless. But, there was something about them. Something...familiar.

"What, just because you made it out alive once, you think you can do it again?" one of the lab-workers said. They both turned around to face me.

No.

No fucking way.

I took a step back and tried to catch my breath.

"Charles. Diane." I breathed. Peter looked at me confused.

"You know these people?" he asked, pointing to them.

"I mean, I would be very concerned if she didn't. After all, we did house her for 12 years..." Diane said. I felt myself have goosebumps.

These people. I lived with these people! I trusted them! Did they know I had these powers? What would they have done if I would have never been adopted by Tony?

It was so...unsettling to see them like this. All cocky and sarcastic. To me, they didn't have any personality. Sure, it was strange, but I didn't care.

What. The. Fuck.

"These...these are the people you lived with?!" Peter asked. I nodded.

"Who are you two?" I managed to ask.

"We are agents #926 and #172, assigned by HYDRA, to ensure their next 'weapon' would be in good hands. We had to raise you until your powers were at its peak, never doing anything to interfere with the metamorphosis of your growing power. However...we had a little setback," Charles explained, walking closer to us. I raise my hands as a warning. He stopped.

"When you were taken from us by the Avengers, we sought out a new plan. We were going to lure you back. So, we set up an explosion at the Avengers Tower, knowing that you would be the one to investigate it. You see, we never wanted you dead. We needed you to come to us. And that is exactly what you did," Diane finished, walking up next to Charles.

I really am a dumbass. Peter looked over as if to check on me. I wasn't taking this news well, surprisingly (obvious sarcasm).

"But it's not over. Y/N, with just the fraction of your energy we took, we were able to power hundreds of soldiers. Think about what could happen if you joined us. Not only could we grow an army together, but we could also make you, the most powerful being in the galaxy," Charles said, and I felt myself lowering my hands.

I wasn't going to. But, I wanted to know what they planned. I wasn't... I wasn't going to go with them...right?

Those words kept circulating my mind.

The most powerful being in the galaxy.

I had never been so power hungry. I didn't even notice how close Charles was walking to me. He let out his hand.

"Join us," he said.

"Get away from her," Peter said, moving closer to Charles, but was suddenly held back by 4 soldiers.

"Peter!" I exclaimed, as I reached out a hand to help him. They pulled him back, as if to witness whatever was about to happen.

"Let him go," I demanded.

"Join us," Charles repeated.

"Y/N come on! They are trying to manipulate you!" Peter exclaimed, a hint of hurt in his voice.

Shit. This was so much pressure! If I said no, what would happen to Peter? What do I do?!

"If I join you, will you let him, and the rest of the Avengers go?" I asked, trying to stall while I thought of a plan.

"...yes," Charles spoke clearly. I felt myself reaching for his hand. I didn't care. I needed Peter to live. To get out of here. But just as I was about to touch his hand with mine, I came to a realization.

"Y/N!!!" Peter yelled, and I turned towards him, worried he was being hurt. But I didn't realize....

He was warning me.

*BOOM*

The sound of a gunshot went off from behind me. I put my hands out as if to shield myself. Everything felt like it was happening in slow motion. I waited for the pain to spike through my body.

When it didn't come, I opened my eyes and faced Charles pointing a gun at me...

...with the bullet stuck in the air only a couple inches from my head.

I had stopped it. With my powers. I dropped it, and felt a surge of power come over me.

They were going to kill me. And I knew it before I shook his hand. The realization. They were going to kill me in that hospital room. And now they were saying they wanted me alive?

Bullshit.

I felt the energy coursing through my body, as I slowly grew more powerful. I used everything I had to throw the biggest energy orb I could at the machine, knocking Diane and Charles with it.

I turned back toward Peter and knocked out the other soldiers with small-orb bullet-type fields.

"I thought you were going to do it," Peter breathed, embracing me.

"I know, I did too!" I yelled over the sounds of the machine breaking.

"We have to get out of here before the whole thing explodes!!" I explained, and we both ran out of the room, into the hallway.

"It's gonna explode, run!!" I yelled as we ran past Tony, Cap and Nat. Together, we all ran towards the exit.

We just made it out of there, before the whole building was blown up, a violet debris shooting from it.

We were all thrown to the ground by the wave, but we were still alive.
