Walking back home after the deli with Peter, you couldn't help but shake off this feeling from being watched as soon as you and Peter said bye to each other and went your separate ways. You just tried to ignore it by shoving it far behind your head but still keeping aware that whoever it was didn't stop.
All you were trying to do as you walk was turning onto different streets and crossing different roads. You were trying to shake off this person of interest from following you but it wasn't working. It wasn't till you were finally getting near your street when they had suddenly stopped and started to walk somewhere else.
Whew.. at least their gone.. but that doesn't mean I'm out of the hay yet.. I need to keep watch of my surroundings just in case..
Making your way down your street quickly and getting inside your house, you were quickly met by Brazen sitting in the living room. "(Y/n)? What's seems to be the matter?" He asked as he stood up and walked over to where you were now standing. "I-..." you started to say and made sure the door was locked.
"After me and Peter said bye to each other at Delmar's Deli and went our separate ways.. there was someone watching me. Then they were following me from not too far away. I felt it because everywhere I turned to shake them off didn't work. It wasn't until I finally reached this street when they turned and walked off." You told him and he raised an eyebrow before telling you to make yourself comfortable in your room and he'll be right up soon. Just to keep the window close.
Giving him a nod for your response, you did as you were told and ran up the stairs to your room. Brazen had walked into his shared bedroom with Penelope and told her everything that happened to you. You could hear them talking downstairs and all you were doing was petting Willow that had landed on your lap to comfort you in some way. "Thanks Willy." You said.
A few minutes and not longer had passed. That's when you heard footsteps coming upstairs and someone knocking on your door. "Come in." You said as you waited for whoever it was to enter. It was Penelope and Brazen coming in with a small box. You looked over at them then glanced over at the small box that Braz had in his hands. "What's that?" You asked with an eyebrow raised but your tone curious.
He sighed softly as he sat on the small chair that was next to your desk as Penelope sat next to you on your bed. "We don't know who was following you but we have an idea of whom." She started off and that's when your thinking gears started to kick in again. Brazen looks at her with a i-don't-think-we-should-tell-her-just-yet type of look. "What is it." You blurted out not being able to contain your curiosity anymore.
"It might be a hunch but... that might've been a Hydra Agent. We're not for sure certain but we've heard about their latest whereabouts just in case if we needed to make a move for your safety." Penelope finally said and Brazen could be seen taking a small breath before moving the small box towards you.
"This.. is Something's we have of yours from Hydra and some other things relating to your siblings." He spoke softly. Looking at the box then at him before looking back at the box again, you gently took it out of his hands and hesitated before opening it. You saw all the details it had of markings and a little paint here and there but the one thing that popped out at you were the initials carved into it.
~ W. M * P. M * (Y/I). M ~
A small smile appeared on your face as you lightly traced the initials of you and your siblings with your finger. "Where... where did you get this." You asked them and Penelope shot a quick glance at Brazen before turning her attention back to you with the box. "While Brazen helped you escape the cell in Hydra, I was able to grab a few things and the box that had all of your initials on it. Then the next I did was follow the both of you out of there as I also helped with the incoming agents and all." She mentioned in response.
You couldn't help but give her a hug. "Thank you." You said then placed the box to the side of you on the bed and gave Brazen a hug. "Thank you too." You said to him as well. "You're welcome (Y/n)." They both said but the happy moment then left after Penelope spoke up. "You need to keep aware of your surroundings just in case. With Hydra out there looking for you... we need to make sure you're safe." Brazen nodded his head in agreement to her statement. "I will. I'll keep more aware than I already am currently. I just feel.. creeped out honestly."

"Detention is so awesome." You told Mj with full on sarcasm from your seat next to her as you sat in detention and she chuckled. "Yeah I know. What I like to do is sketch people in crisis." She replied and you rolled your eyes but smiled when she turned her book around revealing a sketch of you bored out of your mind. You chuckled softly to yourself from the sketch.
"Thanks Mj. That made me feel better and I needed that." You told her and she smiled back but then the teacher said everyone could leave. It was at that moment when you remembered about what happened yesterday. The person that was following you, which you had told Mj and she placed a hand on your shoulder for reassurance. "I can give you a ride if you want." She offered and you politely declined. "No, it's okay. I'll walk." You told her. "I don't want whoever is following me to find out where I live by following me in our car. Plus, if they seem to be bad, I don't want them to harm you." - "But what about you? I understand that you don't want to put me in harms away but what ab-" she started to say but you cut her off by replying "I'll be okay. I'm the badass Lion remember?" You tried to lighten to mood and she rolled her eyes but they were full of concern. "Okay."
Michelle waved goodbye as she got into her mom's car and you waved back as the car pulled away from the school. The smile you had on your face before she left had vanished and right when her car turned a left down the street, that's when you spotted a man wearing a hood. With your eyes widening you looked the other way and started speed walking away, the opposite direction where the man was standing.
You've been walking for about 15 minutes trying to shake this guy off when a voice entered your head. It sounded like a man but you shook your head trying to get rid of it. Which did nothing of course because the voice kept going, saying "I will find you and when I do... it'll be nothing but torture." You swore you had heard of that voice before but can't place who it had belonged to. You definitely knew they worked for Hydra. That was a definite but trying to remember the face was just a blur. All you knew was that you never wanted to go back to that god wrenching place.
15 more minutes had passed by and the guy was gaining closer and closer so you had made a decision. Run. You bolted down the street and turned a corner. The person had started to run after you when they saw you turn the corner. Running some more, you quickly slipped into an alleyway before the guy was near enough to catch up. "Oh god no.. not a dead end." You muttered underneath your breath.
Little did you know, Spider-Man was on patrol at the moment so he noticed when you were running and the person that was chasing you. Swinging down from building to building, he spotted you at an alleyway. He also spotted the guy getting closer by the minute and he swung down grabbing you by the waist. Then he pulled you up towards the roof and gently placed you down. "Are you alright? Why are you running?" He asked you with his voice laced with concern.
When he grabbed you, you yelped thinking it was the guy following you but once you were placed on a rooftop and asked 2 questions, you automatically noticed the voice. It was Peter in his suit. He was worried and concerned by the way he said it. "Y-Yeah.. I.. There was someone following me and they were.. they followed me after we said goodbye at Delmars and then this morning on my way to school. Now I don't know why they're still following me but it's scaring me and I don't what to do. I can't use my powers in broad daylight where everyone can see me." You mentioned to him in a worried tone as you said the last part in a low tone. He leaned a little over the ledge to see if the guy was still there but luckily he wasn't and had left.
"Would you like me to bring you home?" He offered once he turned his body and his attention back towards you. Rubbing your arm with your hand, you looked towards the street just to make sure and double check if there weren't any eyes. "(Y/n), I checked. He's gone." - "You can't know that for sure." You stated back to his response and looked back at him. It was silent for a bit until you nodded your head. "I would appreciate it Peter. Thank you." You told him and he smiled underneath his mask even though you couldn't tell. "Your offer of course." You added in giving a small smile. "Hang on." Was all he said before he walked over to you and gently placed an arm around your waist. Moving your arm, you placed it around his shoulders and he lifted off.
Minutes later, he landed swiftly right in front of your house. Brazen had noticed through the window and opened the front door not a second later. "(Y/n).." he said and you looked over at Brazen. Brazen looked over at Spider-Man and nodded his head. "Thank you for bringing her home. I appreciate it." - "You're welcome sir." He replied back then Peter said a quiet bye to you before swinging away with his webs.
Going into the house quickly with Brazen closing the door after you, you dropped your bag and asked him if you can talk to the both of them. "Yeah sure but Penelope went out to grab some things for the house so she'll be back in an hour." He told you and that's when you explained everything that had happened after you left school. "And you sure you didn't use your abilities?" He asked and you shook your head no. Giving a sigh and nodding his head, he walked over to the phone. "I'm going to make a phone call. You can watch a movie or go to your room if you want."
He was concerned due to the tone he said it but you also knew that he was very protective and would do anything to keep you save. That's why Penelope was the one to leave the house every time they needed supplies or groceries. "I'm going to see Willow." Was all you said as you stood up and went to your room.
