Chapter 3
-Peter's POV-
Ok let me explain. I didn't mean to break Lena's goggles. I swear, I didn't know they were on the counter when I was swinging around! I guess they may or may not have been in my way and I may have, crushed them. Lena stood there and picked up the two pieces and fell to her knees. She glared at me and instantly knew I was boned.
"Lena, please, I didn't know they were on the counter! If you are going to attack someone, go for Hana! She tried to put ice down my back! I swear I'm innocent!" I yelled as I swung by her and missed her fist. She blinked in front of me and I dodged another punch. 'Oh that was close, now I need to-OH CRAP!' I was shaken out of my train of thought until I caught Lena's foot in my gut. I lost my grip on the web and flew and smacked into the wall. Lena blinked over and grabbed my mask off.
I smiled nervously as she towered over me with a very angry aura. She gave me an angry look. "So, we gonna do the hour long stare or are you gonna hit me?" I asked and instantly regretted it. She gave me a look and leaned in close. Her face was 2 inches from mine and I was beating red profusely. She leaned in close near my ear and said "You owe me new goggles." She said through gritted teeth. She got up and stormed out of the rec room to her room. Hana got up from where she was hiding and laughed.
"Hana!" I said and chased her. She laughed as she ran from me and I shot a web at her and stuck her to the wall. "No fair webhead." She complained while still laughing. I walked to her and grabbed an ice cube that surprisingly didn't melt to fast and dropped it down Hana's skintight suit. She yelped and screamed. I pulled the web off of her and laughed while walking away.
"I WILL GET YOU BACK PARKER!" she screamed at me as I walked off. I made it to Winston's lab and wandered in. I looked at some of the items he had sprawled around and tried to familiarize myself. I noticed a blueprint in the corner and walked over and knelt. I opened the blueprint and saw it was a schematic for Lena's Chronal Accelerator. I suddenly got intrigued and wandered about Winston's lab looking for the necessary items to create something for her.
I was in the middle of gathering the items until Winston came in. "What are you doing Peter?" he asked. I jumped and nearly screamed as the hulking primate scared me.
"Don't do that Winston, I nearly had a heart attack." I said holding my chest as my heart was pounding. He chuckled. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, what are you doing here?" he asked again and I pointed at the Chronal Accelerator blueprints.
"Ah, I understand. I'll let you get to it." He said leaving the lab. I smiled and rubbed my hands together. 'Now, I hope this will help Lena cheer up.' I thought and started to forge out a smaller version of the Chronal Accelerator.
-Lena's POV-
'The nerve of that web swinging, spider looking, dweeb! He first kisses me, then destroys my googles! He's lucky I didn't beat him to pulp because I kind of like him.' I thought as I paced my room. My destroyed goggles sat on the nightstand next to bed. I sighed and went to apologize and tell Peter he didn't owe me anything. I walked to his room and knocked on the door. He didn't answer and I held my head down as I guessed he didn't want to talk. I saw Winston walking and blinked next to him.
"Oi, Winston luv, do you know were Peter went?" I asked. "He should still be in my lab, he was making something I think." He said smiling and walked off. I had a confused look and skipped to Winston's Lab. I stopped in front of the door and heard machinery whirring. I knocked loudly and heard the machinery stop.
"Hold on! I'm almost there!" I heard Peter yell. He opened the door and looked at me. "What's up Lena?" he asked standing in front of the door.
"I wanted to apologize for what happened. I was blinded by my rage at what happened to my goggles and I regretted it." I said holding my hands behind my back as I had a frown on my face.
"It's ok, besides, I was going to look for you as I made you something." He said letting me in. He tossed me some goggles that looked like mine and smiled. "I made those so they cannot be easily crushed like last time." He said and we continued in the lab further. We stopped in front of a table that had a white bracelet that seemed to almost be a smaller version of my Chronal Accelerator. I looked at the bracelet and then at Peter. He must've noticed my look of shock and smiled.
"It's exactly what you thought Lena, a smaller version of your Accelerator. But it helps recharge your Accelerator faster and can hold you in time. So you don't have to walk around with the big one." He explained and I was speechless. I looked at him and then the bracelet and held my head down. "Lena, you ok?" Peter said looking at me. I stood still for a minute before Peter put a hand on my shoulder.
"Hello, Earth to Lena." He said waving a hand in my face. I unfroze and hugged him tightly. He yelped in surprise then smiled. "Thank you Peter, thank you." I said. I broke the hug and looked him in the eyes. He smiled and I leaned forward and kissed him.
-Peter's POV-
My eyes went wide as Lena kissed me. She broke the kiss and smiled at me. I was dumbfounded and stared where Lena was standing until she shook my arm. I snapped of my trance and she giggled at me. I shook my head and jabbed my fingers into her side. She yelped and rubbed her side and smacked my arm. I chuckled and walked over to my creation on the table and Lena walked to the other. Lena looked at it in amazement and looked back at me.
"Is that what I think it is luv?" Lena asked with surprise. I nodded. "Yep, it's a smaller version of your Chronal Accelerator, except it's a bracelet. So in theory, you could walk with us without that big one." I explained to her, but she was so concentrated on the bracelet. I grabbed the bracelet and walked over to her.
"Ok, give me your hand." I ordered and she raised it. I wrapped the bracelet around her and heard it click in place as it attached itself to her. "Now turn around." I said. She complied and I undid the straps of the Accelerator. As I undid the last strap Winston walked in.
"What are you doing!" Winston yelled as we took the Accelerator off. I stopped him and we both watched Lena as she started to dissipate. After a few minutes she disappeared.
"No Lena!" Winston shouted as we both stared in disbelief. Winston looked at me and sighed. "I know you meant right, but let's hope Lena reapp-." He was cut off as Lena came back. I smiled and hugged her. "Oh thank god, we thought we lost you Lena." I said holding her arms.
She smiled warmly and looked at the bracelet. "I guess the bracelet did what you thought Peter. Thank you." She said looking at me and giving me a hug. I smiled at her and Winston laughed. "Well, I'm glad you are ok." Winston said with a smile. I nudged him and smiled. I grabbed Lena's Chronal Accelerator and inspected it.
"Hmm, maybe I make some adjustments here and there so she can have more blinks and we won't have to worry about the recharge as the bracelet can help her recharge fast." I said and held my hand out and asked for her guns. She unholstered them and placed them on the table. I got up and shooed them out.
"Out, out, the genius needs to work." I said pushing them both out. Lena giggled and kissed me before skipping away to show everyone the bracelet. Winston chuckled and lumbered off. I cracked my knuckles and my brain kicked into overdrive as I made theories on how to upgrade her weapons.
-Lena's POV-
After Peter shooed us off I walked over to the rec room and everyone said hi before noticing me. "Lena, where is your Accelerator?" Genji asked pointing at my chest. I brought up the bracelet and he nodded.
"Peter created a smaller version of it. Does keep you in time? Can you blink with that?" Hana said looking at my bracelet. The questions kept coming and I laughed at her attempts.
"Yes Hana, it keeps me in our time, but it also recharges my big one." I said to her. "Not only that, but we I can go out and have some fun without drawing unwanted attention." I said smiling. Hana looked and me and so did Lucio. I nodded and they cheered.
"WOOHOO! Time to party!" Hana and Lucio cheered and ran out as everyone nodded. "Well, we could use the fresh air." Mercy commented. Everyone else agreed and began walking to their rooms to change into casual clothes. Winston politely declined as everyone would freak at a gorilla.
"Don't worry luv, I'll bring you back something." I said to him and he kindly declined again. I huffed. "You're no fun Winston." I pouted with my arms cross. He chuckled and walked next to me. "Please Lena, you've earned this." He said ushering me out. He told me he wanted to work on that portal for Peter to help him get home. I perked at Peter's name and ran to Winston's Lab to get him. I opened the door and he was just finished putting on some last touches to my Accelerator and weapons. He looked at me with confusion.
"Come on, we are going dancing." I said as I pulled him along. He grumbled and let me pull his arm. We stopped at his room so he could freshen up. I leaned on the wall and a few minutes later he came out in button down long sleeve shirt, black pants and ocean blue shoes. His hair was combed and he smelled of fresh daisies. I was mesmerized by him until he snapped his fingers.
"Hello Lena? You there?" he said waving a hand in front of me. I smiled and wrapped my arm around his. "Come on, show a lady a good time luv." I teased and he sighed. I guess he was regretting making my Chronal Bracelet. I smiled and he laughed a little. "Well, it's either this, or stay in there." He said with a chuckle.
We boarded a jet and in said jet was me, Peter, Hana, Lucio, Genji, and Mercy. Everyone sat down as we put in coordinates for the nearest club and took off. We got there around 7:30 and everyone got off and we headed off to a nice club. It wasn't loud, but it was decent. Hana and Lucio were instantly swarmed with fans asking if they are together or getting tips for music and games. I rolled my eyes and saw Genji and Mercy on the dance floor slow dancing with the music. I smiled and felt a hand grasp mine as I saw Peter grab it and pull me up.
I yelped and Peter laughed as he guided me to the dance floor and placed a hand on my waist and grasped my hand. I place a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. We slowed danced and it felt amazing. I felt as if I could stay like this forever. In the arms of someone who adores me and would save me. Sadly, this feeling was short lived as Talon busted through the doors and started to round up people.
Peter looked at me and grabbed his backpack. He took out my uniform and tossed it to me along with the Chronal Accelerator and my pulse pistols. I ran behind a curtain and changed. After I changed clothes, Peter came out in his Spiderman outfit.
-Peter's POV-
Lena came out in her bomber's jacket and orange spandex leggings with the Accelerator on her chest. She placed her goggles on and blinked away. I placed my mask on and swung into action. I saw a couple of Talon goons fighting and webbed their weapons and pulled them off and Lucio kicked and punched them. Hana pulled out her pistol and fired at another group of Talon goons. I webbed up the Talon agents and tossed them at an oncoming group.
"Come on, is this all Talon can must?" I said jumping in front of the entrance. My Spider Sense tingling and I moved as a bullet came out and embedded the wall. I looked and saw Widowmaker waling forward with her rifle in hand. She growled when she saw me.
"Aw, it's Smurfette! Come for another round of 'Get webbed on the wall by a man in a Spiderman suit?'" I mocked while folding my hands. She ran at me and threw a punch but I caught it. I kicked her in the gut and she slid backwards.
"Come on then. Widowmaker, let's see how well the Widow is against the Spider." I said holding up my fists. She dropped her rifle and charged me. I deflected punches and kicks here and took some punches and kicks there. She kicked me in the gut and I flew next to Mercy. I shook off the daze and saw Mercy firing her blaster at a couple of Talon goons. One was coming from the back and I fired my last web at his and pulled him towards me and punched him. I stumbled next to Mercy and started to refill my web shooters.
"Whew, this is going better than I expected." I said to Mercy and she grimaced. I then got an idea, courtesy of Tony Stark. "Mercy, start flying as fast as you can." I said to her and she nodded. She flexed out her wings and took off with surprising speed. I shot a web towards her and she grabbed and lassoed me. After gaining some momentum, she threw me with all her might and I landed right on Widowmaker, knocking her out. I smiled under my mask and my spider sense pounded. I looked and saw Widowmaker had what appeared to be a bomb that looked like Lena's pulse bombs.
I went flying as the bomb exploded and felt half of my mask rip and burn from the bomb. I slammed into a wall and fell to my knees. I looked up and saw everyone was down and Widowmaker pointing a pistol to Lena's head. 'NO!' I thought and swung next to her and punched her in the face.
"You hurt her, I will kill you." I glared at her. I was boiling with anger, not only did our night get ruined, but she was going to kill my date. Wait, that came out wrong. Oh hell with it. I wasn't going to let some blue smurf kill my girl. Not now, not ever. She looked at me with horror, then smirked and brought her other fist and I caught that too. I kicked her in the gut and saw the rest of my team start to stir. Widowmaker saw she was outmatched and ran out of the club and grappled to a Talon ship and they flew off.
I fell against a wall and removed what was left of my tattered mask and tossed it next to me. I arched one leg and let the other fall against the floor and placed my head on the wall and sighed. "Well, this went better than I expected." I said and felt something wet cover my body and looked down to see crimson red covering the blue part of my suit. I looked over and saw Mercy and Lena running to my side.
"Nothing…..but….a…..scratch" I said while losing consciousness. I heard Lena next to me for Mercy and blacked out.
