To be a Stark {Peter Parker X OC} ( from AOU to FFH)

108. Rooftop

We were sitting on the roof of the hotel, looking out over the city.

" I'm sorry I dragged you into this." I apologized to Peter.

" He would've gotten us here either way." He said.

" That's probably true." I sighed.

It was silent for a moment.

" I just, I don't know why but, after everything that happened I really just wanted to live a normal life." I spoke again.

" You and me both." He said.

" But then this monster showed up and all that just disappeared. No matter what happens, I'll always want to fight the next big threat. Especially if it puts the ones I love in danger. " I told him.

" I get it." He said " Let's just hope there won't be any more world endangering threats after this one."

I smiled " Yeah, let's hope so."

Mysterio flew up and hovered in front of us. " Fury asked me to come up here and see how you guys are doing. He just, he felt bad about snapping at you." He said.

" Really?" Peter asked confused.

" You guys do have sarcasm on this Earth, right?" He asked.

We chuckled.

" How you feeling?" He asked.

" Uh," I didn't I was gonna have to save the world this summer. I know that makes me sound like such a jerk. I just, I wanted to have a normal summer with my girlfriend, and now it's all ruined." Peter admitted.

Mysterio came to set next to him and his mask disappeared.

" You're not a jerk for wanting a normal life, kid." He said " It's a hard path. You see things, you do things, you make choices..."

He was so right. Ever since I had gotten my powers, I had seen things a girl of my age shouldn't have seen and did things I shouldn't have done. No 12 year old should've fought an alien army. But I had, and a robot army, my family, a goddess,Thanos, and now this monster. But it was the path I chose.

" People look up to you and even when you win a battle sometimes they die. I like you guys, you're good kids. There's a part of me that wants me to tell you, just turn around, run away from all this. Then there's another part of me that knows we're about to fight, what's at stake, and I'm glad you're here."

" Me too." Peter said.

" Yeah me too." I said.

" But you're worried about your friends." Beck said.

" Yeah." Peter sighed " Just always feel like I'm putting them in danger."

" Look, just get them inside and keep them in a safe place for a few hours. They'll be alright. And don't worry about this one." He said mentioning me " I'll be watching her back twice as sharp as yours if that makes you feel better."

" Thanks." Peter said.

" Anytime. And hey, we survive this, you'll have all summer to kill Brad." Beck smiled.

" See you out there." Peter said and jumped down to the street below us.

" Scusi. Sorry that's Italian." I heard him say from on top of the roof.

" You don't need to watch my back." I told Mysterio " I can handle myself."

" I know" he said " Just making sure he does something else than worry tonight."

" I can't blame him. After everything that happened last year... Did Fury tell you what happened?" I asked him.

" He did." Beck sighed " Fighting those aliens and losing friends. That's why I know you can handle yourself."

" I better be off to make sure I'm at my post on time." I said.

" See you." He said.

" See you." I told him and followed Peter's path back to the hotel.
