"Don't tell me right now, tell me when you see me again. Okay?." - Harper
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Harper woke up for her 'slumber' as it has been a few hours. Harpers head was on Peters legs and Peter was playing with her hair. "Do you think we're ever gonna go back home?" Peter looked down at her. "Yea. But its all of a matter of time, isn't it?"
Harper nodded, she started picking at the rocks on the ground. There was no water, no food and it felt like 100 degrees. "Peter." The boy was still looking forward. "Yeah?" Harper sat up, making Peter stop playing with her hair.
"Do you think- do you think I'm dangerous? Like I mean look at us, everyones worried about me because of some black veins. And Sometimes I get so angry or upset that I can't control it." Peter cupped Harpers face. "Your gonna be okay, I promise. You're not dangerous, your just. Learning." A tear fell down the girls cheek. Peter quickly wiped it away.
"It's okay. You know I love you, no matter what." Peter brought their foreheads together. "I will forever protect you, okay." Harper nodded and closed her eyes, foreheads still touching. "Can we just stay like this?" Harper said, Peter smiled. "We could but I wanna do this." Peter grabbed the side of her face, leaning in, connecting both of their lips.
Harper grabbed the back of Peter hair, rubbing it and playing with it through her fingers. Harper put her hands on Peter chest, causing Peter to lean back, both not breaking contact. Soon Harper was on top of Peter, kissing him. When they started hearing footsteps Harper pushed herself off of Peter while Peter sat up and fixed his hair.
It was Stephan."Don't wanna ask what you guys were doing, but your father said to come and get you." Harper looked at Peter, he shrugged. The both of them got up and started making their was towards the inside of the ship.
"What is it? What do you need?" Tony bit the inside of his lip. "We need you to fall asleep again. Just so we can determine its not dangerous and just a side effect to something." Harper hesitated for a sec. "Okay, but only if Peter does it with me."
Peters head shot at Harper. "What?" "You said you would protect me forever right? So protect me or at least help me when I hear those ringings again." Peter looked at Tony, then back at Harper. "Are we sure this a good idea?" "Kid. Just lay down." Tony replied.
Both Harper and Peter got down to lay on the ground. "I hope you guys know this is very uncomfortable." Harper stated. "Alright, Mantis." Quill pointed to the two. Mantis walked up and put her hands over Harpers head first. She closed her eyes and Harper fell asleep.
