The Avenger's daughter

"I'm sorry"

~The next morning~

Peter's P.O.V

Peter's eyes slowly fluttered open as he heard his phone buzz loudly. He looked at the time and his eyes widened slightly as his alarm clock read 11:15am.

"I'm lucky that it's Saturday." He mumbled before grabbing his phone. His eyes widened and he sat up in bed as he saw a text from Y/N.

Y/N: Hey...was wondering if you wanted to come over today, and talk. X

Peter sighed and closed his eyes as he remembered the conversation that he'd had with May a couple of nights ago, the solution that they'd reached only being justified more by Y/N being taken again by Mysterio yesterday. He groaned and dropped his phone into his lap as he buried his face in his hands.

"You can't break up with her over text, Peter, you have to go over there." He groaned loudly before grabbing his phone and typing out a message.

Peter: Sure, I'll come over. 12 okay? X

Y/N: Okay. See you then. X

Peter gulped, trying hard to swallow tears as he sat up and pulled a shirt on. He grabbed his backpack before heading out into the kitchen. May looked up at him from the table.

"Morning, honey. You okay?" she asked as he grabbed a bowl of cereal and sat down with it.

"As okay as I can be when I'm about to break up with Y/N." he mumbled.

"What, you're doing it today?" she asked. He sighed and looked down.

"She texted me and asked me to come over to talk about what happened. I'm not going to do the jerk thing of dumping her over text, and I'm also not doing it with a crowd at school, so that leaves today." He gulped.

"I also think that it's a bad idea to dump her whilst in the same house as all of the Avengers, who also happen to be her family." May reminded. Peter groaned and held his head in his hands.

"Are you sure that you're ready to do this?" she asked. He sighed and shook his head as he looked back at her.

"Of course not, I love her. But I'd rather not have Y/N as my girlfriend than have her six feet under because of me." He choked. May sighed and took Peter's hand from across the table.

"You're doing the right thing, Peter. I know that it may not feel like it now, but you're doing the right thing for Y/N." she reassured. Peter sighed and nodded before looking down at the table.

Y/N's P.O.V

"I've got it!" I yelled as the doorbell rang.

"Someone's eager." Steve chuckled from the sofa in the living room as I rushed down the stairs. I rolled my eyes and flipped him off.

"Language!" he scolded as I opened the door to reveal Peter. He gulped as he saw me.

"Hey." He gave me a small smile.

"Hey, thanks for coming over." I spoke as I stood aside.

"It's okay." He nodded, his voice quiet as he walked in and I shut the door behind him.

"Let's head up to my room." I gulped, pointing up the stairs. He nodded and started to head towards the stairs, me following behind him.

"Door at least three inches open!" Steve reminded.

"Steve, god." I groaned.

"What? Your dad would kill me if he came home to find you and Peter in your room with the door shut." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes as I followed Peter into my room and shut the door anyway.

"Um, Y/N, didn't, um, didn't Cap just tell you to keep the door open?" Peter gulped, putting his backpack down onto my bed.

"Well, we need to talk about what was said the other day, and what happened yesterday, and I don't want any of them to hear our conversation." I shrugged, crossing my arms over my chest. He nodded and sighed as he looked down.

"First of all, I wanted to say that I'm so sorry for lying to you. About everything. I'm sorry for not telling you that I'm Spiderman, I'm sorry for not telling you that I knew your dad. And I'm sorry for what I'm about to do." He gulped. I looked at him.

"Wait, what are you talking about, Peter?" I scoffed. He looked down. My face dropped as I realised what was happening.

"You're breaking up with me." I stated. He looked back at me.

"I'm sorry, Y/N. You have a target on your back because of being with me, Mysterio has already taken you twice, for the sole reason that you're my girlfriend. I'm only trying to protect you." He choked. I bit my lip and shook my head, tears pricking my eyes.

"Peter, don't do this. What we have is good, and I can protect myself, they win if we break up-."

"No, Y/N, they win if we stay together and you die because of it." He nodded, a tear leaving his eye. I choked and shook my head again.

"I can't believe that you're doing this to me. You'd rather break up than try to make this work and still be safe." I cried.

"I can't guarantee your safety if you stay with me and I can't lose you like that-."

"Peter, I'm a freaking Stark, no one can ever guarantee my safety-."

"And being with me doesn't help either." He cut me off. I bit my lip as tears fell from my eyes.

"I think you should leave, Peter. Please, just go." I choked. He nodded and looked down, tears also streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry, Y/N." he choked before grabbing his backpack and leaving my room. I shook my head, tears running down my face as I walked to my window.

"FRIDAY, lock my door." I sniffed, gripping onto the back of my desk chair.

"I'm sorry, Y/N, it has to be shut for me to lock it." She responded. I groaned angrily as I whipped around and stuck my hand out, red energy shooting out of it and going straight into the door, slamming it shut.

"There, now lock the freaking thing!" I yelled as I turned back around and gripped the chair again. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths as I felt myself losing control. I looked down and my eyes widened as red energy started to radiate from my skin, laces of it swirling around my hands and moving up my arms.

"Safe place...safe place...safe place." I panted, trying desperately to stay calm. I choked and a tear left my eye as I realised that my safe place was gone. Peter was gone. I screamed out again, causing the things on my desk to start to shake. Suddenly, I heard several sets of feet racing to my door before it was frantically knocked on.

"Y/N?! What's happening? What's going on?" dad's muffled voice sounded. I let the tears fall, silently crying as the energy started to spread into my room.

"He left, dad. He's gone." I cried out, now starting to feel my eyes glow red as my grip on control got weaker and weaker.

"She's losing it, get Wanda, now! Y/N, open the door." Dad demanded.

"Leave me alone." I cried.

"Y/N, you could really hurt yourself with this, please, for the love of god, open the door!" he yelled. I shook my head at myself as I felt myself getting weaker.

"I'm sorry, dad." I sobbed.

"That's it, FRIDAY, open this door, now." He demanded.

"FRIDAY, keep it locked." I retaliated.

"FRIDAY, override code two eight one two three nine six. Now, open this goddamn door!" he yelled. The door flew open and I looked over my shoulder to see my dad rushing in, followed by everyone else.

"I'm sorry." I whispered before letting my eyes flutter shut and collapsing to the ground as the power became overwhelming.

"Y/N, NO!"
