Chapter 1- After M
Peter sat on the roof of the avengers tower silently as he looked over his beloved city.
He was happy for things to be back to normal since the house of M event where Scarlet Witch altered reality and made mutants the dominant race.
Though he was happy things were normal, he cant seem to get over the one thing he loved most about the other reality, Gwen was alive.
He's visited her grave every day since things went back to how they were. So much pain was brought to him, pain that was almost too much to bear.
As strange as it sounds, he didn't blame Witch for any of it. She had no control over what she did and he understood that perfectly.
He wished every other hero felt the same as he did. Everyone else seems to hate her. Even Captain America seems too ashamed to look at her.
Right now he's really the only true friend she has. It made him feel kinda special really, he kinda liked it.
Just as he was about to leap off the roof, a hand laid gently on his shoulder, it was Scarlet Witch.
"Oh hey Wanda! How are you?" Peter asked in a gentle tone. "I'm... Ok, to say the least... Thank you for asking." The beautiful mutant said as a small smile grew across her face.
"The others still giving you a hard time huh? Give them time, they'll come around eventually!" He said while smiling under the mask.
"Spider-Man listen... After all that happened and all the pain I put you through, why are you so nice to me? Why do you treat me so kindly when you should be treating me the worst?" Witch said as tears began to build up in her eyes.
Peter stared at her for a moment. He didn't quite know what to say.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Wanda... I hate what you did. But I could never hate you. You didn't have any control over what you were doing, and I understand that. In life there are just things that we can't control. It sucks. Hell, there's a lot in my life I would go back and erase if I could."
Wanda couldn't believe what she was hearing. The person who should hate her the most was being so nice to her. It made her feel happy yet sad all at once.
Peter began thinking to himself 'Wow, she looks so damn cute.' His heart began to beat faster.
Witch stared into his lenses and said, "Thank you Spider-Man. I needed that."
The two super powered beings stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Suddenly, a small blush went across the cheeks of Scarlet Witch. What could she be thinking about?
Before Peter knew it, Witch was lifting up his mask, but for some reason he didnt stop her. He didn't really want to stop her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned it. She stared into his lenses one more time and whispered, "Thank you so much." She then kissed the hero.
'Wow.' Peter thought. 'Just... Wow.'
