Chapter 21
"We have to get going, you know. He might already have left." I point out.
"True."
----------------------------------
Pegasus's Pov
I teleport us to the wreckage to try to make up for lost time. Off in the distance, I spot a certain wingsuit sorting through a broken box.
"Peter-"
"Peggy-" we speak at the same time. And point towards Toomes. We really need some time away from each other because things like this keep happening. Over and over and over. I mean, this happened about fifteen times last week. And- you know what? I'll stop.
"You better. And LEARN TO CONTROL WHETHER I CAN HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS OR NOT because I don't want to hear every one of your rambles." Peter ends sweetly.
"But my rambles are awesome..." I pout.
"Hate to break up this bonding, but it's giving me a headache," Toomes interrupted.
"And being dropped by you gave me a headache, dude," Peter fires back.
"Just getting done what has to be done."
Peter snorts, then full on starts rolling on the ground laughing. Needless to say, he got a couple of 'are you a crazy person' looks.
"Sorry," he says, still laughing and pretending to wipe away tears. "I thought... that this...was good...DISTRACTION!!!" he shouts as he shoots a web at Vulture's face, successfully startling the enemy and giving us an advantage. Unfortunately, I was also startled.
-------------------------------------------
Peter's Pov
Quickly after the surprise attack, I run up to Vulture and tackle him, webbing him up quite sturdily afterward.
"Gonna keep standing there, Peggy? Or are you actually going to help?" I ask. She snaps out of her daze and looks around.
"What just happened?!?!"
I smirk. "I came up with a plan." Her eyes widen after this. And then my spidey-sense spikes. Great.
I feel myself being lifted into the air for the second time that day. And then I was forced down. I grunt. Up again. And d- Nope. Peggy decided to be useful and starts wrestling Vulture.
I- was always- being useful.
Sure you were.
I hear her growl. I look up and her wings draw out to their full length. Which is really long. They shimmer in the moonlight, but with the look on her face, I can tell the battle's going to be over soon. Fortunately, Toomes was also mesmerized, so he didn't have a very tight grip on me and I wriggle out.
"Oof," I say as I land. I can see a hint of a smile on her face before she spins and looks up. All of a sudden, it starts raining. And thundering. Guess she found something else she can do because she's never done this before. She shifts her grip and holds onto a single wing ad a bolt of lighting flows from her. Landing more gracefully than I've ever seen her, she drops Toomes and undoes his suit.
"What was that and is he ok?" I question cautiously in fear I might get struck with a lightning bolt.
"He's fine, just knocked out and I don't know. I just felt something different and followed my instincts. Oh! And his suit is short-circuited," she answered.
I shake my head trying to clear my thoughts and web him to a nearby piece of conveniently placed plane. I also write a note to whoever fins him, but Peggy laughs at me for that.
I hear sirens in the distance and we look at each other.
"I know you want to watch what happens so let's go up on the roller coaster."
"All right," I agree.
At the top we see Happy and some others run around the wreckage. Happy finds Toomes and the note and looks at in our direction, but he doesn't acknowledge us. Only then do I realize that Peggy made us invisible.
"Yep. You took your mask off and you don't think I was going to let anyone see, do you?" I laugh.
"I'm just glad this mess is over."
"Me too."
Time skip...
At school the next day, I get a text from Happy telling me to meet him in the bathroom. Since this is during lunch, I just tell Ned I have a Stark internship thing and rush out of the room.
I walk into the boy's bathroom and see Happy and Peggy. Wait, Peggy?!
"Yep. I do what I want."
"We already knew that. Now, we got to get you two upstate," Happy says.
"U-upstate?" I stutter.
"Yep. Tony wants to talk to you. Something about saving his stuff?" I stopped listening after this, but I caught a few things about him being 'thankful for saving his job' and 'Tony was there for him.' (A/N-I just didn't want to look it up.) Anyway, soon enough we get in the car and start toward the compound. When we get there, Mr. Stark is standing at the door. I look around in awe.
"It's awesome, isn't it? Designed it myself," Mr. Stark pridefully says. Unable to form words, I nod. Peggy and Mr. Stark start laughing. I feel myself blush.
"Anyway, kids- Happy could you give us some space?"
"I am giving you space."
"Okay. How about 10 feet of space." Peggy snorts and Happy gives up.
"Kids, I have an important question for you," Mr. Stark starts. He presses a button and a wall turns around revealing two suits.
"How would you like to be more than the friendly neighborhood superheroes? You know...part of the bigger picture?" I think Peggy and I were both gaping at this point.
"The- The bigger picture?" Peggy squeaks.
"Yes. The Avengers," Mr. Stark says with a dramatic flourish. "Now, there's about 50 reporters behind that wall waiting to announce the newest Avengers to the world. Do you want to suit up and show up?"
"What do you think, Peggy?" I ask.
She smiles proudly. "Whatever you want. I'm just your sidekick."
I look at Mr. Stark. "We're- We're good."
"Brillia- Wait, what?!"
"He said we're good. We'd like to just be friendly neighborhood superheroes for now."
"Okay. Thank you for coming! You guys can head out to the car if you want."
We start walking back to the car, but I turn around.
"That was a test, right?"
"Excuse me?"
"That was a test. There are no reporters behind that door, right?"
"Oh! Yes, that was a test. You passed with flying colors." And at that, we leave.
--------------------------------------
Noone's Pov (Weren't expecting that, were ya?)
Pepper comes out of the 'empty' room.
"Where are they?" she asks frantically.
"They left," Tony answers simply.
"What do you mean they left?!?!?" she screeches. "What am I going to tell the reporters?!?!"
"Uuuhhh... Happy! Do you still have that ring?"
"Are you kidding me? I've been carrying this thing for 8 years!" Happy replies as he tosses a ring box to Tony.
Another time skip...
"Peggy?"
"Yes?"
"Do you like being my sidekick?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"I just need to know that you do."
Peggy looks Peter in the eye.
"You're going to be late for your date with MJ. And I don't think of myself as a sidekick. But I do like giving you... some special help."
-----------------------------------
AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! IT'S DONE!!!! thank you guys so much for sticking with me through the highs and the lows, the yeah and the 'that was actually good!'s. Thanks most of all to RaccoonRabbit15 for voting on all the chapters and encouraging me when I wanted to quit. And thanks to all the readers!!! You guys are what kept me going through the rocky times. I'm sorry that there were times that the chapters were really bad and I didn't look stuff up.
I just can't get over how I finished the book!!! I was so happy writing this last chapter! And I rarely thanked you guys for the votes and views because I wrote these in advance and didn't want things to be wrong. That's a stupid excuse but still.
Did you guys like the book? What do you think I could improve on?
Do y'all want me to write something else? It would be the same schedule, but if you guys want me to write something, I will. Just give me what you want me to write about and if I get multiple prompts, I hold a vote.
Please vote and comment!
This is really long. I'm sorry.
♡♡♡♡♡♡ love y'all!!!
