Did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar

The daughter followed her father along the street. He was wearing a white shirt and long black pants that go well with his long legs, she was wearing an oversized hoodie that almost covered everything she wore inside.

On the sidewalk of Greenwich Village, they almost looked like a normal family. People will guess the father might be a doctor by the pride he was holding, and the daughter was just a teenager.

Then they walked to the Sanctum, opened up the wooden door, the moment they walked passed through inside, their clothes changed, they were both wearing blue, period costumes, with cloaks that touched the floor.

His boots made a gentle sound to the floor, hers, on the other hand, made louder sound trying to chase him.

"Dad. Hold on." She said, trying to pull him back, he just kept walking upstairs.

"You believe me, don't you?" She asked, there was no reply. (Y/n) have had enough so she flew in the air with her cloak of levitation and landed in front of Doctor Strange, stopped him from going any further.

"It was when I asked him to come with me to Japan, and we did nothing else but made a portal on the toilet hole and jumped into it."

"It's not your virginity I'm concerned about!!" He shouted back and made her flinch, then he realized he lost the control of his temper and calmed himself down by closing his eyes.

"..." She looked up at him and gulped.

"I know my daughter. Okay? I know you are not easy and you would not let a boy put his hand on your skin. But I'm angry, right now, because you let three people, that boy, the aunt, and Tony Stark know of our existence when it was supposed to be hidden!"

"I didn't tell him! He found out!"

"Because you sent him to Mount Everest!"

"..."

"We were so lucky they took it as you banging that boy instead of the two of you disappeared with magic because you were a sorcerer!" He yelled, she had to take a step backward in fear.

"Dad... I'm..."

"And. You asked Wong to read the book of Cagliostro!"

   "He told you that...?"

   "I put a spell on the book that if you lay hands on it I will know."

   "..." (Y/n) stared at her father who turned away, she had guilt written all over her face, being told she disappointed him in every way possible, and that she was a fool to even concerned about the bathroom incident.

   "You are not allowed to leave the house." He said.

   "Okay." She nodded, knowing she might break the rule anyway, only the problem was he knew.

   He opened his bare hand out. She stared at him confusedly. "Give me it."

   "...what?"

   "Your sling ring."

   "No...."

   "Now. (Y/n)." Strange looked down at his daughter strictly, and although she tried to give him puppy eyes, his eyes were the same, she handed him the only key to her magic and sighed.

   "Can I at least keep my cloak?" She asked.

   "Yes. But no flying outside the house."

   "No flying outside the house." She repeated him.

   He stood there to watch her walk back to her room safely, but as she turned the lights of the dimming hallway reflected on her necklace in that split second and it caused Doctor Strange's whole body to have goosebumps.

"Where'd you get that?" He ran to her, taking the locket in his own hands. "This was Hayden's was it?"

"Yes." She replied.

"And you said it was burned with him in that car." He looked at her with a concerned stare.

"Yes. I said so, but I found it." It was a half-truth, she really did said it was gone, and she really did found it, she just never explained to her father she found it on her first mission, when someone broke in through the multiverse.

But he caught the truth in her eyes, (Y/n) was a terrible liar.

Though he could call it out he said nothing, he opened up the locket to look at the picture inside, then shut it down.

"Trust to me about one thing, (Y/n)."

"...Yes?"

"Hayden didn't send you this from the dead, and anyone who did was definitely not by good intentions."

The next morning (Y/n) skipped school, I wouldn't blame her, I wanted to skip just as much with the rumors spreading all over the school that we sexually meditated.

Of all the people only Ned knows the truth. I told him everything. Not because I want to sell (Y/n) out but because I couldn't stand having all the people thinking I actually did it, and Ned was the only one I can tell the whole truth about.

And I needed a friend.

Being a nerd and get bullied is one thing, being a nerd who recently just lost his virginity is another.

Every boy in the hallway have been high-fiving me all days, the football club invited me to join them, senior came to say hello and slapped, or I'd prefer, smacked the shit out of my back with their laughter.

I don't understand the logic at all, for boys, it was such a proud thing to brag about, for girls it was humiliating. I'm not proud of what I'm accused of, I'm not proud of people to think I almost made a girl pregnant.

And no. I have not. I don't even drink alcohol for god's sake.

"You should totally visit her." Ned said on our way out of school.

"After all that happened?" I asked back.

"Because of all that happened!" He told me. "Look! Just go and check on her, about this rumors, or, I don't know, her dead ex Hayden's necklace thingy."

"Dude. Have some respect. She loved him."

   "Sorry." He said. "Like, make sure she doesn't accidentally bring the zombie version of him back from the dead or something."

"Yeah. I should check up on her." I said, then Ned and I split up, I put on my suit and because I don't have the money I have to swing all the way from Queens to Greenwich Village, it took many hours and I arrived at her place when the sunset.

I tried knocking, nobody seemed to be home or wanted to invite me in, so I climbed.

I peeked through many windows, most of the inside I saw were just wooden hallway with many bookshelves, I tried to find her room and with enough search I found her.

I was upside down, hanging on her window, (Y/n) was watching... Netflix? On her bed, her rabbit was in her hand, eating carrots.

I knocked. She was wearing headphones, so she didn't hear me, I started yelling.

"(Y/n)!"

She looked around, thinking her room was haunted, I yelled louder.

"(Y/n)! I'm here!!"

She finally located me and she screamed then fell off her chair, her rabbit ran away for cover.

"...Peter!?!" She shouted with her widened eyes.

"Yeah! It's me!" I waved, inside the mask I smiled.

She put her hand on her chest like she almost had a heart attack, she calmed herself down and with her angry face, she got up and unlocked her window for me.

"Good evening." I said.

"Damn you, Parker. I was watching the haunting of Hill House! I almost shit my pant! You can't just show up at people's window at night!" She pointed at me like an angry grandma.

"Oh. Sorry. I was worried about you."

"You could've just called!" I was still hanging upside down, we talked through the opened window.

"I didn't know you have a phone."

"Of course I do. And by the way, you came all the way from your neighborhood?"

"Yeah. I had to check on you."

"..." She looked at me like she didn't know whether to curse at me or to adore the facts that I tried, so she stepped back and jerked behind her. "Come in." She said.

I swung inside, then I took my mask off and I looked around, observing her bedroom, (Y/n) walked back to close her tablet while I found her rabbit that went and hides under the chair.

"Hello..." I sat down and tried to get her out and pet her.

"Weird." (Y/n) watched me. "She's actually really friendly."

"I might smell like Spider to her, you have carrots?" I asked.

She handed it to me. With food she slowly walked out of the dark and sniffed my hand, I finally got her in my hands and eating carrots.

"Look, (Y/n)!" I smiled.

"Yeah." She nodded, she was sitting on her bed, awkwardly with (R/n) I sat on the chair in front of her.

"So. How are you holding up?" I asked.

"Fine." She grinned tiredly.

"Why'd you skip school today?"

"I don't know. I just didn't feel like it, it was my dad's suggestion, actually, said I should just stay home or I might accidentally kill everyone in the whole school." She shrugged.

"I see."

Something was off, she looked so sad, the aura of her power was not shown either. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"No. Not really." She replied honestly.

"Want to talk about it?"

She looked hesitated at first then she nodded, looking away outside the window. "Dad took my sling ring."

"Oh?"

"I don't know if he will return it or not."

"I feel you."

"You do?" She scoffed.

"No, I mean, I really do. I felt you. This suit I'm wearing, Tony Stark made them, and there was a time that I messed up and so he took away my suit."

She finally looked at me, looking more interested in the topic. "He did?"

"Yeah. He did. And it felt like I lost everything, you know? He told me." I impersonated Tony Stark, sniffed my nose, stood up and raised my chin. "I'm gonna need the suit back."

"Holy shit." She looked up at me.

"And I was like," I jumped into another space to impersonate myself. "For how long?"

"Forever." I as Tony Stark said.

"Well, that sucks." She said.

"No! No, no, no! Please, please! You don't understand! I'm nothing without this suit!"

"You really told him that?"

"Yeah. I did. And you know what he said?" I sat next to the bed next to her, my face went closer to her than I expected it to. "He told me..."

"..."

"If you're nothing without that suit, then you shouldn't have it."

She looked at me and she nodded to herself. "Similar case." She said. "But you can still climb walls and having super strength without the suit right?"

"Yeah, you can do other things too. Like flying with a cloak." I pointed at cloak. "See? It stayed for you."

The cloak was watching us this whole time and then it flew across the room on its own and took a paper in its fabric hand and gave it to me.

"No. Cloak, put it away." She said tiredly.

"What is it?" I read it. "Surgeon's degree...? Did you graduate? You're a doctor? See, you're something without the sling ring!" I smiled.

"Dad was a surgeon and I didn't know-- or care what to learn so I followed his step. That's why he always called himself, Doctor, you know?"

"Oh." I just realized that.

(Y/n) looked outside the window again, zoned out with a weird expression on her face. I tried to get her back. "Yeah, anyway, you're not 'nothing'."

"Peter." She called me. Eyes still outside the window.

"Yes?"

"Have you, by any chance, brought a cat with you?"

I followed her gaze and then realized, outside the window that I entered in, was a shadow of a.... woman dressed as a cat? With white hair? She was staring at us this whole time, then when we found her she jumped away.

I jumped to the window, opened it up and looked left and right, but she was gone.

"Who was that?" She asked me.

"I have no idea." I replied honestly.

"Peter. You do have many stalkers, don't you?... there was a Michelle girl and now a cat... girl." She chuckled.

We looked out at the city at night, with questions about who it was and why was she following me. There was no answer, at least not at the moment.

We looked at each other, and I recalled what she just said. Then I realized she called me by Peter, not Parker, for the first time so far.

  Neko: Hello my fellow depressed potatoes. 🥔❤️

   Most of you comic fans probably have guessed already that I will use Felicia Hardy, the black cat as another character in this fanfiction.
   Because the Spiderman: Homecoming trilogy hasn't ended, neither or Doctor Strange's trilogy. I have not much to work on, and I decided to borrow the characters and storyline from the actual comics.

   *If in the future these characters were to be introduced to you by Marvel themselves, just remember back in the days that I wrote this fanfiction there was just Spiderman 1 and Doctor Strange 1 and Avengers 3.

   Ps. Btw, Cole Sprouse is really hot wow he shall be my Hayden
