Why me?

Cece

Peter didn't recognize me. I can see myself in the mirror. What's up with him? He said something about his vision of me being like he was underwater. I haven't known him to long but he's my only source of comfort. No matter how stupid he is to the point where I told him who he was and he just sat there confused. May and I are the only ones who know. How did he not put the pieces together? 

I just want to look like myself again. I just want to go to Peter's house and sleep. I just wish I was anybody but me right now. I don't know why I got powers. I have no idea why those things chose me. I'm just a 15 year old. My mother blipped, my Dad blipped I had to stay with my best friends Mom since she was well also blipped. I missed her so much. My parents kicked me out right before she came back. I left her. It's my fault it happened. If it hadn't maybe my parents would still be by my side, maybe I could see Mia one last time. They took Mia away from me. I'm mad at them but at the exact same time I want to please them. 

A tear rolls down my cheek. I take it and it starts to float above my hand. I focus on this small drop of water. Come on make it two. It breaks in half.

"I-i-I did it!" I shout tonight I will learn. It will take so much effort but I can do it. 

I start with water since I feel most comfortable with it. I imagine a ball of water in front of me. Nothing. I close my eyes and just focus. "Come on water. Come on." I squint only to see a ball of water rushing towards me. I collide with this water no ballon thing. Water sparys all over me I am soaked. "Ugh I wish I was dry." All of a sudden all this water came off of me and back into the ball. "I wish uuh that umm there was a fire there." To my left I felt warmth. Like someone hugging me. "I wish that the air would let me fly!" I was up in the air zooming around Queens. It was beautiful. I don't want to constantly say I wish all the time so I think it should work in my head to. I wish there was flowers on that dead patch of grass. I'm amazed at how fast I learned, this should take so much longer. I wish I was myself again. I squint and look down nothing. I still had this dress on. My hair was still two times longer than normal. My feet still bare yet no scarches on my feet. 

I know where I have to go into that cave. I slept suprisingly well on a literal rock. I made a vine blanket to keep me warm. I look outside to the baby blue sky staring back at me. It was beautiful. I look at myself still in this different form. I just want to be me again no matter how much I hate being me. Why does this have to be me? I look ridiculous. At least I could control what I looked like being me. I'm invisable to everyone. As me me I could hide from who I wanted... most of the time. 

"Hey are you here?!"

"Peter!" I smile "I'm so glad your back. Did I really sleep that long though?"

"No. I just came early since I knew where I should look."

"What do you mean where you should look?" I have no idea what's happening. 

"I was looking for my friend Cece. I couldn't find her she's been missing for almost a day now." 

"Well um that must be hard." I just want to yell you found me! Please take me home! We were friends now. He was my only good friend I've had since the blip. All I want is the sense of comfort I have when I'm around him. 

"Anyways that isn't important." sounds like it is. "So this is Happy."

"Hi miss. What do you call yourself? "

Like superhero name or name name?"

"Whichever."

"I'm um well a G- Mother Nature." I came up with that on the spot be proud of me Peter. 

"Hi Mother Nature I assume that's your superhero name."

"Ya um why are you here? I know Peter wanted me to meet his friends but you look like his Dad."

"My Dad is dead." how did he say that with a straight face. 

"Sorry."

"No worries." He pauses "I still don't know how you know my name name. I'm in my suit." I had not noticed.

"Sorry Spiderboy. Didn't notice." 

"Spiderboy is that what you're gonna call me?" he laughed I missed the sound of laughter.

"I guess do you approve."

"I don't think I have a choice."

"Good answer."

"Anyways come with us." I followed without question I was happy when I was with him. He laughed around me I needed that reminder that the world isn't always so cruel. 

"Wow this is huge." 

"I know just wait til you meet the people in it." 

It was a huge building. Filled with inovative technology that I could only dream of. I am a sophmore I don't think there has been a sophmore in here. Wait no there's Peter. I smile at him just waiting for him to put the pieces together. He is smart but maybe not in the identitys part. We go up this huge elevator and enter this long hallway. To the right is Peter and Happy. To my left a plaue that said. "In loving memory of Tony Stark. The reason we are here today." I had vaguely remembered who that was. He was a superhero. 

"Hey Peter."

"Ya..."

"Who's Tony Stark?"
