Forever and Always (Peter Parker)

Chapter 59

Needless to say, we all went home after what happened in London. Almost getting killed kind of put a damper on the mood. Oh and Ned spilled the beans about me and Peter to MJ. She kind of figured it out though. Thankfully, she's not upset. She understood why we had to keep it a secret. But I'm not worried, I know we can trust MJ. As long as nobody else finds out, we'll be fine.

It's been a week since we got back, and everything has been perfect. Pete and I are better than ever. Back to our New York crime-fighting, Star Wars watching selves. We've barely left each other's side. Things feel good again.

I was so happy to see my mom and sister when I got back, too. She said Dad would have been proud of me... And I know he would be. I try my best every day to do the right thing to make him proud. I also told her that I wanted to start helping her run the company and help with the planning of the new Avenger's facility. We both cried... It was a whole ordeal. But it's great. Everything is great. It's exactly how it needs to be.

Right now, Pete and I are sitting on our building. Well, Pete is sitting. I'm lying down with my head in his lap as he runs his fingers through my hair. We just got done stopping a bank robbery, so we're taking a breather.

"I'm starving," I say with my eyes closed.

"You're always starving," Pete says with a laugh.

I smack his arm pretty hard, but in a playful way.

"Ow! What was that for!" Pete exclaims, grabbing his arm.

"Looks like you lost your Peter Tingle again," I laugh, standing up.

He rolls his eyes and follows me by standing up, "Can you please stop calling it that? It's so embarrassing."

"Okay, okay. Fine, I'm sorry. Can we get food now?" I say, standing in front of him and brushing one of his curls back.

"Only if you'll stop calling it Peter Tingle," he whines.

I giggle, "Not a chance." I kiss him quickly on the cheek before falling backwards off the building and flying down the street.

"I hate when you do that!" Pete says through our earpiece.

"Try to keep up, Spidey!" I exclaim.

I fly a few blocks over landing on a street in Times Square. Pete lands beside me, somewhat out of breath.

"Either you have gotten faster or I've gotten slower," he says, panting for air.

I giggle and look across from us at the Mega Screen above Penn Station. They're talking about London on the news.

"Breaking news. We come to you now with revolutionary news about last week's attack in London. An anonymous source provided this video. It shows Quentin Beck, aka Mysterio, moments before his death," the anchorman says.

Pete and I look at each other in confusion and back to the screen.

A video of Mysterio pops up on the screen. He's panting for air and staring into the camera, "I managed to get the elemental back to the other dimension, but I don't think I'm gonna make it off this bridge alive. Spiderman attacked me with the help of Sapphire. They're using weaponized drones, made by Stark technologies. He says he's the only one who can be the new Iron Man! No one else!"

The video cuts to the bridge. I see Pete standing over Beck with EDITH.

"Are you sure you want to commence the drone attack? There will be significant casualties," EDITH asks.

"Yes, execute them all!" Pete says in the video, followed by tons of explosion noises.

"And that's not all. It appears that Spiderman had an accomplice that helped him initiate this attack," the anchorman says. The video cuts to me floating in the sky. The camera zooms in on my face, highlighting my bright blue eyes through my mask.
