Chapter 19: Blood signatures

I woke up to a bright light resting on my face. My eyes fluttered open. I yawned and stretched. I was a little stiff but overall I had a good sleep- HOLY CRAP! I ACTUALLY SLEPT! I DIDN'T HAVE A NIGHTMARE!!! YES! I missed the feeling of a good sleep. A smile spread across my face.

I sat up and looked over at Peter. I was excited to tell him. But my smile soon faded. I looked over at Peter's face. His eyebrows were furrows and his whole expression was of concern and fear. He was still asleep but... oh no. Is he having a nightmare!?

My suspicion was proven correct as his breathing rate increased and he started flinching in his sleep. He was mumbling through pants of breath.

"H-help... y/n... y/n..." His fist clenched. I was getting worried. "No... y/n I know you... I l-... you..." What? I could quite make out what he was saying. He started flinching and shaking violently.

"Peter! Peter wake up! Please." I put a hand on his clenched fists and I was both shocked and confused. His hand relaxed once I touched it and his fingers knit themselves in between mine. The scared frown relaxed into a small smile, his flinching and shaking died down. "Peter... please... wake up. You're going to be ok."

He mumbled something else... "y/n. I knew you were there..." Wait. Can he hear me know!? I guess that sometimes I can hear this echoing voice in my dreams that is kind... It may have been Peter. "Y/n..." His smiled then faded in the blink of an eye. And he screamed. "NO! LEAVE HER ALONE!" He shot awake still screaming. "Y/N!" He was breathing frantically. He looked around the room frantically until he finally saw me. His eyes widened and he wrapped his arms around me hugging me tightly.

"Peter. Are you ok?" My voice broke slightly as I hugged him back. My lip quivered.

"Y/n... you're ok. You're alright." He sighed and I felt his body relax slightly from its current stiff state.

"Peter. What happened in your dream?" I asked in a soft voice.

"I-I was running with you in an alley. We both stopped at the sound of a voice. Purple eyes appeared in front of us..." He stopped.

"What did he say?" I asked concerned.

"He-he said that there was no escape and that..." He stopped and his breathing increased. "He said that he would kill everyone I cared about... St-starting with...with... y-you." He hugged me tighter. "He did something with his power. You were suppressed to your knees... You were screaming in pain... I-I tried to stop it but electric shots were sent through me when ever I got with in two meters from you. I called after you over and over again." Peter was crying now and so was I because I knew how he felt. I knew how it felt to be scared... helpless and to have to watch while someone suffered because of you. "I screamed for him to leave you alone. To stop hurting you and to... to... kill me instead." He stopped, waiting for my reaction. I just hugged him tighter crying and burying my head in his chest. "He agreed. But he said that he would make it painful for both of us... Your eyes went purple and he controlled you... You were trying to resist but you couldn't stop it."

I knew what this was. He put my biggest fear in his dream to get to both of us. "Then you started to load an arrow onto your bow... You-you aimed it at me. But you were screaming for Shade to stop. You were crying..." He was shaking. You couldn't tell if it was from anger towards Shade, fear or both. "I told you that I knew who you were and that you were stronger than him. I told you to remember what I said... I heard a voice echo through my mind. It was your voice saying things like 'Peter', 'wake up' and 'you're going to be ok...'"

"That's what I said when you started sh-shaking and flinching..." I confirmed.

"I knew it was you... then in the dream you stopped before firing and shot the arrow into the ground. We fought together against Shade but he stopped us both from moving. He..." Peter burst into a fit of sobs again. "He-he g-got a knife... You couldn't move and he stopped you from hardening your blood... H-he used the kn-knife t-to carve '§' in your arms over and o-over again... Y-you were screaming... a-and screaming." He cried more. Holding you tight.

"Shh... it's ok. I'm right here. I'm ok. You're ok." I assured him rubbing his back soothingly.

"Th-then I woke up." He sniffed. He hiccuped from all the crying. "I-I was... I was scared..."

"I know how you feel. It's ok now. You're ok now." I sniffed.

"I-I couldn't protect you. Y-you were hurting a-and I couldn't do anything to stop it." His voice raised at the last part.

"Peter. It's over now. It's ok. It's over now." I cooed. He nodded but didn't pull back from the tight hug. He nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck. He was still shaking. "We're going to end all of this. I promise you. No more nightmares for either of us." Peter then gasped and pulled away.

"All of this and I never asked. Did you have a nightmare!? Are you ok? What happened? Are you-"

I cut him off by covering his mouth and shushing him. "Peter. It's ok. I didn't have a nightmare last night. The first night in a week." Peter's expression softened at this and he sighed in relief.

"Ok. That's one positive then." He smiled slightly.

"Please just... focus on making sure that you're ok. For once." I persisted. "Anyway, we need to focus on finding out Shade's real identity... maybe in one of my visions I'll get something... that is if I even get another one..."

"We'll just have to wait and see I guess." Peter sighed and kissed my forehead, hugging me again.

Time skip brought to you by those annoying moments when something really great is about to happen in a dream!... and then you wake up... Damn it.

You walked through the doors. The usual hum of chatter greeting you.

"Y/n! Peter!" Ned yelled for you from across the hall. He came shuffling up to you. "Dude. Dude. Dude." Ned looked at us with a strange expression. "Have you to seen your lockers? Y/n..." Ned looked you as if lost for words but he then shook it off. "It's probably just a prank. But... you might want to look..." I exchanged a look with Peter.

This cannot be good...

We walked over to our lockers which were of course next to each other. There were two notes. One on each... oh no on each note there was an §... crap. Peter and I looked sideways at each other. We both unstuck each other's notes from our lockers and read them.

My heart stopped.

My eyes widened.

My breath hitched.

My stomach flipped.

My hands shook.

The note. The note read.

Y/n. This is the end game. It all started three and a half years ago. I was after your father and Stark. Your family receive my present... all but you.

I killed your family. I was suppose to kill you but you survived that bomb. I am here to finish my job. Tell your father that I am coming for you both.

A whimper escaped my lips. I stuttered. "P-Peter..." Peter was looking at his own note in shock. In fear.

Peter's note read:

Peter Parker. You and y/n will suffer. I have revealed to y/n my secret. You and y/n both know that I will target everyone you love. This is the end game. You and y/n will hand each other over. I will end this soon. Rest assured I will make your's and y/n's death painful, slow and you will die in vain.

-§

He looked at me with my note in hand. We then both realised that we had an audience of Ned and Michele now.

"That's fake right y/n?" Michele asked me.

"Uh... MJ, we need to tell you something..." I gulped.

"Okay..." She furrowed her eyebrows at the serious expressions Ned, Peter and I shared.

I grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the maths room which was currently empty.

"MJ. What we are about to tell you, you cannot tell anyone. Do you understand?" I asked her seriously.

"Hold on. Is this about you being the Hunter, Peter being Spider-Man and Ned being your 'guy-in-the-chair'?" MJ asked out of nowhere. WHAT!? HOW!? "Because I found out Peter was Spider-Man like a month ago. And since you have a crush on Peter and he has a crush on you, plus the fact that Hunter and Spider-Man are dating I put it together a couple of weeks ago." MJ shrugged.

Ned, Peter and I shared the same expression with an open gaping mouths and widened eyes of pure shock. How???

"H-h-how did you- When did- I-" Peter stuttered and struggled to get any words out.

"How did you find out about Peter!?" Ned asked the three of us were still in shock.

"Peter makes it way too obvious. The 'Stark internship', randomly leaving in class, missing homecoming, Peter getting more and more swoon over y/n... The list goes on." MJ shrugged again. "But I could never have guessed y/n though, without the whole Peter connection. She actually knows how to cover up accusations, she can keep her cool and she can act very well. Unlike Peter here."

"Wow. I am impressed." I nodded smiling at MJ. "And yes. That is what we were going to tell you. That and something else..."

"Ok... what else is there?" MJ asked rather casually. "Actually do your parents even know about you being Hunter?" I stopped and gulped.

"Uh... well... that is... what I was going to tell you about... My dad's now-" I was about to say something but Ned cut me off jumping up and down.

"Y/N'S DAD IS TONY STARK!"

"Wait. What!? Really!? Tony Stark!?" MJ gaped at me. "I'm best friends with a Stark. Dude. So cool." MJ smiled at me.

"Yeah. Right now it's not in your favour... That note on my locker was written by someone called Shade Signature. He's after me, Peter, dad and everyone we care about... including our friends... so..." You put on an awkward expression.

"Meh. My best friend's Hunter. I'd like to see him try." MJ sassed and you laughed. "You're awesome."

"What about me?" Peter pouted.

"Meh. Y/n's cooler. She can actually kill someone easily." MJ reasoned.

I know she was joking. Well sort of but my expression fell to sad at the fact that she's right... Peter realised my change in mood and slung an arm around me.

"I'd like to clarify that I have an instant kill mode in my suit." Peter frowned at MJ.

"Meh. You need a mode y/n doesn't she can just aim her bow at someone and kill them in like 5 seconds. Easily." MJ shrugged. I looked down at my hands fiddling with my fingers. I could feel my stomach drop and my body go a little numb. Peter side hugged me and whispered in my ear.

"Hey. It's ok... it's not like that. That's not what she means..."

"I know... but... you know. I still hear it like that." I whispered back. Luckily MJ and Ned were having there own conversation about who's cooler. Spider-Man or Hunter. Peter kissed the side of my head.

"I know. But this will all fall through soon. It'll be over soon."

"I know. I won't let him get to me anymore." My fists clenched and my body tensed. I felt my confidence rise. "He will suffer for everything he's done. He killed my family. He will not hurt anyone else. I will end him. I will find him. I will end all of this." My tone was stern and angry.

Peter nodded once showing he agreed. Then my phone buzzed.

Irondad🤓: You're coming home tonight right?

Irondad🤓: You didn't come last weekend so you really have no choice.

Irondad🤓: Anyway. See you then.

Y/n/n🏹: Ok then dad.

Y/n/n🏹: hey dad...

Irondad🤓: Yeah...

Y/n/n🏹: Long story. Can Peter come over and stay too?

Irondad🤓: Why......

Y/n/n🏹: Long story. I sort of forgot to tell you about something hehe...

Irondad🤓: What was it exactly...

Y/n/n🏹: Nothing major... just umm...

Irondad🤓: Y/n. Tell me right now.

Y/n/n🏹: ok. Hold on lemme type this...

Y/n/n🏹: A new villain called Shade Signature showed up and started attacking Peter and I through our dreams. He knows that I am a Stark and he knows that I'm Hunter. He also knows Peter's identity and is trying to kill everyone we care about. I get nightmares every night and Peter got one last night. They are really scary and are controlled by Shade Signature. He has these sort of psychic powers and stuff. We are in real trouble right now. He said he was going to end it all soon.

Y/n/n🏹: Also he set off the bomb that killed my family. It was suppose to kill me to out of revenge to you and my previous dad.

Irondad🤓: WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME THIS!?!?!?!?

Irondad🤓: hold on...

Then your phone started ringing it was your dad.

"Oh crap..." You sighed. "Ok everyone shut up for a sec. Dad's calling me... There may be some yelling here..."

"As in Tony Stark?" MJ asked. You nodded pressing the answer button. Immediantly a loud voice burst out of the phone.

"Y/N M/N(middle name) STARK! YOU ARE IN CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE RIGHT NOW! WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S GOING TO KILL EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT!!! HE'S THE ONE WHO KILLED YOUR FAMILY! I SWEAR TO GOD-"

"Dad. Calm down please..." You sighed.

"CALM DOWN!? CALM DOWN MY ASS!!! Y/N STARK! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THIS!! YOU AND PETER ARE ALWAYS OFF DOING- Wait. Actually, can you pass the phone to Peter please?" His voice was way too soft at the last part... You handed the phone to Peter who had already heard everything clearly. So did everyone else.

"Umm... hey Mr. Stark..." Peter awkwardly greeted your dad waiting for a serious scolding.

"DON'T YOU 'HEY MR. STARK' ME! PETER BENJAMIN PARKER! HOW HOW COULD YOU ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS WITHOUT TELLING ME!!! IF I WASN'T SO SCARED OF WHAT Y/N COULD DO I WOULD TAKE YOUR SUIT AGAIN RIGHT NOW!!! IF Y/N GETS HURT I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL YOU!"

"Umm... sorry?" Peter's face was flushed and shocked.

"SORRY? SORRY!? THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY!? WHAT KIND OF A BOYFRIEND ARE YOU!? NEXT TIME YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME STRAIGHT AWAY!!! YOU HEAR ME PARKER!!!" Your dad scolded. You overall found his reaction rather funny. You bit your lip to hold back a laugh. Peter's face was completely red at what your dad was saying and he looked at you for help. "Ok. Please hand y/n the phone again..." Peter immediately handed you the phone and stepping away.

"Yo." You casually answered.

"I AM STILL FURIOUS! Y/N-"

"Dad. Shush. Calm down now." I huffed.

"I CAN'T JUST 'CALM DOWN' OVER THIS Y/N!!! I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU TO TELL ME STRAIGHT AWAY IF ANYTHING HAPPENS! HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON!?!?"

"Meh about... a week and a half or something. Right Pete?" You were really looking at this sarcastically instead of fearfully. Peter nodded at your calculation.

"F**K WHAT!? A WEEK!?"

"Language."

"YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WEEK! AND YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME ABOUT IT!? ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME!?"

"Language father!" You furrowed your eyebrows. "Look we need to focus on the breakthrough right now." Your tone changed to calm.

"What would that be?" You father asked.

"Shade Signature killed my family. He has to pay."

A/n:
