All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 27

"You are psychotic if you think I'm going to let you ruin my mission, Allen!" Katherine yelled as she burst into her room with Liz hot on her heels.

This must be how Scarface feels all the time, she thought as she grabbed the bag that laid under her bed.

Liz watched her as she started to open drawers and throw clothes into the bag on her other hand. The drawers were near empty, as all anyone seemed to wear around the base was their uniforms.

"Katie-"

"Stop calling me that! I told you, we don't have friends here," Katherine warned her, her green eyes seeming darker in the horrid lighting of the room.

Liz sighed, her teeth grinding against one another as she tried her best to collect her nerves. Back in high school, she always had to do this. Through years of listening to stupid comments and questions, she had learned to hold back her anger for the sake of staying out of trouble and staying a good student. Back then, she knew it would help her to have a good review for when she wanted a teacher to reference her for anything, mainly college. But here, it seemed to be a foreign concept. The people here knew nothing of holding back. Letting loose seemed to be acceptable here.

"Fine. Katherine, I want to go with you on your mission," she said.

"And I want you to leave me alone. A few weeks of knowing you doesn't entitle you to be my mission partner. You'd end up getting me killed in three days," Katherine told her.

"How? I've been on missions before, and I've successfully escaped Iron Man and Spider-Man while still completing the mission," Liz argued as Katherine finished packing her clothes and moved onto her bed.

"Downloading information and taking pictures of notes is child's play! This mission is real," Katherine said as she threw down her bag and turned to look at Liz. "This mission involves one of the most feared and deadly assassins of all time, who was on her way to being on par with the Winter Soldier if she hasn't screwed the fuck up. She can kill us both while being handcuffed to a fucking building. You'll be like stepping on an ant and get in my way as well. Don't you get it? This is my chance! I've waited forever since the academy, and I won't waste it because I chose a shit partner!" she told Liz.

"And what about me?" Liz asked, her voice growing lower as she placed her hand on the middle of her chest. "I don't want to ruin your mission, Katherine. I'll listen to anything you say. But your target works directly with my target. Spider-Man ruined my life. He got my Dad arrested, making me move, lose most of our money, and I had to watch my Mom drink more and more every day. I'll help you in any way you need. All I want to do is kill the damn spider," she told her.

Katherine looked across the room to look at Liz. The dark haired girl was reading a notebook, her face scrunching together every once in a while. She could only assume it was a reaction to something she found confusing. A small streak of jealousy shit in her heart as she watched Liz, her only source of entertainment.

I was supposed to be alone. I need to start working on my "iron will", Katherine told herself.

They were on a boat heading to New York under one of HYDRA's many disguised shipping companies. They had proved to be the most effective way of getting around while not drawing suspicion from the world's various governments and was a way for the sinister organization to make extra cash when they transported their agents where they needed to go. It wasn't the first class, but they had to stay well hidden. The most the crews ever offered was a decent sleeping bag, a semi-clean engine room, and two meals every day.
