"Y/N, I can't tell you the answer to that!," Peter tried to reason with you as you both walked on the pavement filled with dried leaves.

"Pete, please just this once," you looked up at him, trying to convince him with your puppy eyes so that he will break the answer for the chemistry question to you. For a moment, what you thought was Peter's stand seemed to falter but he quickly composed himself.

"No and that's my final decision," he stormed off, leaving in front of a cafe in the mild autumn breeze.

You let out a sigh as you opened the door to the cafe. It wasn't an ordinary cafe, it was a family business. It was named John's Cafe, after your grandfather. Your parents usually took care of the cafe, you would just help them to bake pastries after finishing your homework or whenever you were free.

Your parents were out of town as they went to visit your ailing aunt. It was all up to you to take care of the cafe now.

You set your bag down, changed your clothes, and wore your apron, preparing the dough to bake the pastries. You were planning on selling the premade strawberry pastries, not only because it was on the menu, also because you wanted bring some for Peter as it was his favorite.

You started off by preparing the strawberry filling by combining sugar and tapioca in a small saucepan. You added fresh strawberries and let it stand for 5 minutes. When the mixture started to boil, you mixed some lemon juice in it, stirring it until it was thick and left it to cool.

You rolled out the premade dough and cut it into squares. You spooned out the fillings into the center of each square. After sealing the pastries, you placed them in the preheated oven.

After 10 minutes, the pastries turned a golden brown, prodding you to take them out. You drizzled the icing you made earlier and proudly set them up on the counter.

You dusted your hands on your apron before walking over to the entrance of your cafe and flipping the sign over to 'OPEN". You looked at the light evening sky which was full of golden rays that signified the end of the day and sighed contently to yourself.

Peter crawled up the wall of the Avengers Tower as he looked over the whole town, keeping an eye for any crimes happening out there. Suddenly, Karen's voice woke him up from his thoughts.

"Peter, you have a message from Y/N,"

Peter smiled as he heard your name. He was planning to swing by your cafe to drop off the answer to the 'indecipherable' (according to you) question. He wanted to tell Karen a reply to your message, but something caught his eye.

A security alarm was going off at one of the cafes near him. The mechanical eyes on his suits squinted to see the name of the cafe. His heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he saw it.

John's cafe

He swung quickly to your cafe as his mind swirled with thoughts of you. He was planning on activating 'Instant Kill Mode' if anything ever happens to you. He let out a audible gasp as he saw the scene between you and the robber unfold before him.

You were holding a frying pan to protect yourself from the perpetrator. Peter nearly laughed out loud when he saw you.

"What are you doing over there? C'mere and help me!" you waved your pan at the masked hero.

Peter shot some webs at the robber and tied him up. He ran and gave him a flying kick which sent him to the corner of the room. He made the robber stick to the wall nearby.

"So, ma'am, I would love to stay here but I have to go and drop off the criminal over there at the police station," Peter said, intentionally deepening his voice.
