Alternate Universe

The day had been perfect for reading and relaxing at your favorite little cafe. Though, there was a forecast of rain and storms later on in the day. So, you brought your umbrella just in case.

You ordered your favorite drink. Once you got it, you picked one of the comfy couches in the back of the cafe.  You put your headphones on and listened to your favorite music as you began to read. Of course you could've taken your drink home and read there, but you just liked to stay at the cafe every now and then.

It had been several hours since you first arrived. You didn't know, and you also didn't know it had been raining on and off. You were just so absorbed in your book, and the people who worked there knew not to disturb you while you read.

Of course when you felt someone pick up your feet then put them on their legs, you couldn't help but get aggravated. You knew there was only one person brave enough to do that. You put a bookmark where you finished reading. Then, you picked up a magazine tapping Pietro.

"Stop interrupting my precious reading time."

"But I missed seeing you. You're my best friend." Pietro laughed.

You picked up your feet and sat crisscrossed. Pietro did the same, and you both faced each other. You looked past him to notice rain dripping from the little awning covering the cafe.

You looked back to Pietro noticing he was looking at you rather strangely.

"I hope you don't mind, but I got you a refill since you are running out."

You nodded noticing a new cup on the table beside the couch. When you turned around, you noticed a new book in front of you. You held it up and opened it.

To y/n,
You are my best friend. I hope for so many adventures to share with you.
From,
Pie.

"Y/n... I... I'm just gonna get to the point. I like you... Really like you."

It took a few minutes for you to process what he said. You weren't ready for this conversation. His sister told you he might be interested in you, but she wasn't sure at the time.

You didn't even realize you were moving till you were at the door. You went outside to see just how dark it it was.

"You could've just told me no."

You turned around to see the brown haired man behind you. He held both your book and the book he gave you.

"Pie... I... I love you, but I'm scared."

As he walked to you, rain began to fall. He handed the you the books, and you put them in your purse. You got your umbrella and held it over the both of you. That's when you realized tears were falling down your face.

"What are you afraid of princess?"

"I... I'm scared that... I won't be good at a relationship like that. I don't want to ruin what we have."

He wiped your tears away and smiled. "It's okay to be afraid, but if we already were friends before, I don't think that will be a problem. And... I think that if we were to break up, though I don't think that will happen, we'd still be friends. If you think about it, we kinda already are dating."

You took a minute to think about what he said, and you couldn't help but laugh. He was right.

"There's that smile. Now, how about I take you home. Don't want the rain to get any harder. We can save the rest of this talk for... a less rainy day."

You couldn't help but laugh even more. You still held onto the umbrella, but Pietro also held onto the umbrella.

Everything was fine until you heard thunder. Then, your vision faded to nothingness.

You opened your eyes to see you were looking at a ceiling. You looked around to see your surroundings. You were in a medical area. That's when your eyes widened in realization.

Your heart rate quickened. That's when a man walked beside your bed.

"Hey... Hey. Breathe. Breathe." He held your hand, and you began to take deep breaths.

"It's Pietro okay?"

"Your boyfriend is fine. He's actually is over there."

He pointed to an area covered by curtains. You got up and realized your feet weren't touching the floor. You were levitating a few inches off the floor. You sat back down and looked to your hands. That's when you realized the hand and arm that held the umbrella had dark blue markings that almost looked like lightning all over. Then you noticed your hair. Your hair was now silver with blue near the end. You noticed a mirror to see your eyes had turned to an electric almost unnatural blue. That's when the man sat in a chair beside you.

"I know you're confused, but I'll try to answer any questions you have. Firstly, I want to say my name is Bruce Banner. Your in the medical bay of a compound for people like us. I mean this in that you now have powers. You and your boyfriend both got struck by lightning. You survived, and you both somehow got powers."

"I... I don't understand. Powers? I can understand surviving, but I don't understand how lightning could give someone powers."

"Normally people who get powers get them in odd ways so even though it's unusual, it's usual for the people who gain powers."

He explained so much to you in such little time. You learned that when he got angry, he turned into what he and everyone else called the Hulk. You learned that places like this were all over the world. He said they weren't sure what your powers were yet other than the flight/levitation. They did think it may deal with weather due to the cause.

You were okay until he told you about Pietro. His powers were unfortunately obvious. He had supersonic speed. Since he hasn't learned to control it, they had to strap him down. Tears streamed down your face, and you got up.

This time your feet touched the ground. He seemed to be sleeping. He too had physical changes. His brown hair turned white, and he also had the marks on his arm that held the umbrella. You sat down beside him and held his hand.

"I guess our love just really sparks." Pietro mumbled opening his eyes to reveal they had changed from brown to blue. You laughed at his cheesyness.

"Are you okay Pie?"

He nodded, and you rested your head on his chest. "I'm so sorry I got you in this mess. If I would've just."

"Y/n you did nothing wrong. I just can't contain my how happy I was when you told me how you felt so I had to strap myself down to get it together." He laughed, and you also began to laugh.

"Pietro... Our arms that got the marks look identical."

"Yeah. I'd like to think that this means we're bonded for life."

You looked up to him and smiled. "I think I like the idea of that."

You sat up and looked into Pietro's eyes. You reached up and ran your fingers through his hair.

"We'll get through all this princess. Also, did you know you look just as beautiful as you always do and will."

You blushed. "You look as handsome as you always will and do. "

You kissed his forehead and laid your head back on his chest.

You didn't know was in your future, but you knew no matter what Pietro would be by your side. You would always be by his.
