The world is in shock after knowing the truth about hydra behind cops and the government, once the truth is declared hydra's spy has been taken down and put into jail.

One man in another man out. Parker walked out of the prison's gate, he hasn't changed much, because everyone that tried to shape his head get punch in the face.

Tony Stark and his luxury car was waiting for Peter, but Peter was expecting someone else.

"Where's (Y/n)?"

"It's great to see you too, for god sakes Peter , at lest pretend that you miss me." Tony hugged Peter.

"I knew you would get me out."

"I didn't get you out."

Peter stared at Tony, his smile faded. "You didn't?"

"Of course i couldn't. I got cops walking around with gun in my house, watch me work, watch me drink champagne, one even stalk into my bathroom when i was showering! I tried so hard to help you out but all the messages i tried to send got taken down."

Peter eyebrows twisted. "So how did Nora speak the truth?"

"Your girl..." He paused, point his fingers at Peter's face. "Stole my gun and just went right in the god damn tower, shot Mrs Wellington in the lake. I didn't even know when did she planned all this."

"She did it all by herself?"

"Oh she changed so much without you."

Peter smiled in excitement, he's surprised and impressed and also confused that you are not here. "So, where is she?"

"She told me, i'm done." He copied your voice.

"Done? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?..." He asked himself, what happened in that 3 months. He pictured you would come running at him and both kiss each other until you get tired.

"I don't know, but let me say one thing."

"What thing?"

"Whatever she'll say, she still loves you."

Your pov

I poured the hot coffee down in a grass, pretending to not knowing about the customer checking out my ass, then wipe the table clean before stepped right back to where he can't see the back of my body.

"Can i get you anything else?" I asked with a made up smile.

"A BJ." He said then all of them laughed.

You smiled at them. "I'd give you a nasty look but you already have one, so excuse me."

I walked away to the back of the bar, Harrison placed a plate of hamburger on the shelf. "Table three is done."

"Thank you." I held the plate up and was about to leave, but Harrison took my hand.

"(Y/n)."

"...Yes?"

"Thanks for coming back here." He smiled.

I copied the way he smile and flashed it back at him. "Thanks for letting me."

I walked out again, give the burger to the girls and the door open up. "Welcome to Caulfield's." I shouted at the new customer who I found out later was Peter Parker.

He looked almost as I remember, but just without the black suit, he wore white shirt with sleeves rolled up the way he likes, hair slicked back and hands in the pockets.

He looked at me.

I looked at him.

We both weren't smiling.

"Would you like a table?" I asked, eyes daring him.

He was confused, real confused. And when Parker confused he won't speak much, so he just nodded with a blank face, then sat at the chair.

I slammed the menu in front of him and put the pen out of my pocket. "Our specially today chicken with sweet chili sauce, what can i get for you?"

"Why didn't you come to pick me up?"

Even when i tried to play games his voice shut my boldness for a second, made me realize all the customers and waitresses where looking at us, other than the sound of the clock on that wall, everything was so quiet.

"Go back to your business, thank you." I told the whole room and they quickly looked away.

Once other noises started to fill up the room he continued. "I need you to stop playing this game and comeback to me, why did you even
bother come back to work at this place."

"You can't order me anymore."

"I'm back at the throne now, all deals we made remains." He eyed me deadly, 3 months ago i might be scared.

"You broke the promise."

"I did it to keep you safe."

We stared at each other and it was something between if i should kiss you and if i should kill you.

I cut his glared and joined his table. "First month Tony sent Jason and I to a lonely island in Thai because wherever we go, hydra try to kill us."

"..." He listened.

"Second month I begged Tony to get you out but even himself can barely stay alive. So i made a plan."

"..." He listened.

"Third month I'm back in New York and was able to get Nora to tell the truth. And i did it all because you promised me, that you will never leave, and you broke it, so another promise was what i held on."

"I didn't want to be in the---" He didn't listen.

"You told me you will assure me and my family's well will be taking care of by you even when we apart. That's why i get you out."

"So comeback."

"Can't you see Mr Parker." I bit my lips, let it kill me on the inside than to show him how hurt it is to make this decision. "You gave up on me. So i gave up on you too."

For the first time in awhile his eyes were splattered in the color of unexpected pain, then anger replaced it, he still looked at me as I looked away, i don't know what he's thinking, i don't have to care about him anymore.

"Alright Ms (L/n)." He finally said, I looked at him with chin raised. "If you don't want us anymore, it's up to you."

This is what I wanted. Yes. This is what i wanted, is it? Yes, it is.

Parker grinned, my eyebrows twisted a little, where did that come from?

"The deal is still there." He looked at me.

"..."

"A promise is just words, but our deal was a contract."

My eyes gazed still at him. "Are you---"

"Yes i am holding you to me by law and if you break it, be prepared to see me in court."

Words was inside my throat, couldn't come out. He won't let me go by using that contract against me, he smiled, he was smiling like a boy having fun.

"(Y/n) (L/n), i order you to quit this job and work for Parker industry from this day as my new assistant, replace Nora Wellington after school everyday including Saturday and Sunday. You will do all that i say with no conditions."

   "..."

   He half smirked, fingers drawing on the wooden table.

   "Since those raven ink touch my paper, you are mine."
