Help Us - Peter Parker
576 Words
Waking up at twelve o'clock in the afternoon was becoming a very bad habit of yours. You climbed out of bed and threw on a jumper then made your way downstairs.
You walked into the living room and almost had a heart attack. Tony Stark was sat on your sofa with a twelve year old boy.
"You need to stop doing this." You sighed.
"And she's awake." Tony smiled.
"Why are you here and who's this?" You pointed at the boy. "You babysitting or something?"
"My new assistant, incredibly hot aunt and I want to get on her good side." Tony shrugged.
"Dude!" The boy exclaimed.
"So why are you here Tony? This is like the fifth time this month?" You rolled your eyes. "What happened to your second choice? The Spider guy"
"Second choice?" The boy said the Tony.
Tony had tried to recruit you to fight alongside him when he had a lovers tiff with captain America.
"We need your help." Tony looked at you with sadness in his eyes. "We need all the help we can get."
You saw the look in Tony's eyes. He was scared.
"You're that Spider dude right?" You asked the boy already knowing the answer.
"What? No! That guy is way cooler than me." He nervously laughed.
"Yeah he is and we need your help." Tony said not looking away from your eyes.
"Tony!" Spider-Man looked at Tony with a shocked expression.
"Why not just get.." You waited for the boy to say his real name.
"Parker, Peter Parker."
"Why not get Peter Parker to help you. I've seen the videos, he will be more help than I ever could be." You sighed shaking your head.
Peter then came around and stood in front of you. This is when you realised all of the little details on Peter's face. You were undoubtedly a massive fan of Spider-Man and now you were stood in front of him but without the mask.
"Listen, we need all the help we can get. So what if you're stronger than me or I'm stronger than you? We still need you. This thing, this alien is trying to take over the entire universe and we need to stop him. You can help us." It was Peter's turn to look scared now.
"I can't touch anyone, how can I help? Last time we tried to work together I put you into a coma for a week." You said looking at Tony. "What if I hurt someone?"
"We might need you to hurt someone." Tony looked sad.
"Please." Peter practically begged.
You still couldn't fully control your powers and every time someone touched you it was like they were getting struck by lightning a hundred times in a row. You couldn't risk someone getting hurt by you but at the same time you saw how desperate Tony and Peter were.
"If I agree to this you have to make sure no one on our side touches me. I don't want to hurt any more innocent people." You said playing with your fingers.
"That shouldn't be a problem, ever since you put me in that coma I've been creating a suit for you. If it works you should be able touch anyone without a problem." Tony stood up and starting to look around at the pictures you have on the wall.
"I'm in." You smiled at the men. "Who is this 'alien' that's threatening us anyway?"
"Thanos."
