Chapter 7

-Peter's POV The Next Morning-

I woke up to Piper on my face. I opened my eyes to fur everywhere. "Piper, get off please." I pleaded with the cat. She got up and stretched and waltzed over to Lena and laid on her side. I smiled and looked at Lena as she was sleeping peacefully. She breathed in through her nose and out of her mouth. I smiled lightly and kissed her forehead.

"Mmm, 5 more minutes Peter." She said rolling over. Piper meowed and ran off to some other part of the house. I got up and stretched. I walked to the fridge and realized we didn't have any food. I sighed and looked at my wallet. I had 450 dollars left. I took out a piece of paper and wrote down a note.

Lena,

I went to get food for the cabin. I'll be back in a few.

Peter

I opened the door and grabbed my keys and got into my car. I turned it over and drove off to find a grocery store.

-Lena's POV-

I woke up and yawned. I saw Peter wasn't in bed. I went and grabbed fresh clothes and hopped into the shower. I walked out in fresh clothes and feeling better. I saw Piper running up to me and meow as she wrapped around my legs.

"Hi there luv." I said kneeling down and picked her up. She meowed and licked my cheek. "Aww, you're just a cute little thing aren't you." I said petting her head. She meowed more and jumped out of my arms and ran off to explore more of the cabin. I walked to the fridge and saw a note from Peter on the counter.

"I guess that's one thing we forgot before we came here." I said to myself. I hopped onto the couch and turned on the TV. I realized it also came with Netflix. 'Ehh, what the hell.' I thought. I turned on Netflix and flipped through the shows available. I stopped on a show called 'The Flash'. After watching the first 3 episodes, I came to the fact it was an awesome show. I heard the car pull into the driveway and paused the show and opened the door to see Peter grabbing out tons of bags.

I picked up Piper and put her in the bathroom and closed the door so she didn't escape. I ran back to the door to see Peter struggling to get in. I opened the door and he walked to the fridge and dumped the bags on the floor. "There, are still more….bags." he said out of breath. I smiled and walked out to the car to see 6 bags and 2 jugs of milk. I grabbed the 6 bags with one arm, and used my hand to carry the 2 jugs.

I helped put the groceries in the fridge and the pantry. He also grabbed about 2 1500 plastic plates for us. He also grabbed 2 bags of cat food for Piper. After everything was in its place, Peter fell on the couch. I smiled and walked over and laid down next with him. Piper jumped up with us and meowed.

"Hi Piper." He said rubbing her chin. She meowed and jumped and scampered off. Peter chuckled and rubbed my shoulder and kissed me. "Good morning." He said. I smiled and nuzzled his chest. "Come on, I got us breakfast." He said. I got up and followed him and saw two bags from McDonalds on the counter. He pulled out an Egg McMuffin and hot cakes for me. Along with 2 sausage burritos, a hash brown and a large orange juice.

"Thanks luv." I said and started to eat. Peter walked over with 2 sausage burritos, a hash brown, a Bacon Egg and Cheese bagel. He sat next to me and played the episode I was on.

"Don't you want to watch the first episode?" She asked. "Nah, besides, I just want to relax with you." He said. I sighed and smiled and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Come on, let's go to an arcade." I said getting up. "What did you have in mind?" He asked. I opened the hologram map and looked for any close arcades. "How about here luv?" I asked and pointed to a Dave&Busters in Buffalo. "Sure, let me refill Piper's bowl and fill another just in case we're gone for a long time. Also, 2 large water bowls." He said. As he went to do this, I did some research on Buffalo and found out it was kind of a dangerous neighborhood.

I walked into the room and grabbed a big backpack and shoved my pistols and Accelerator in. I also tossed Peter's costume and web shooters and two pistols for him. 'Just in case.' I thought. I turned to see Peter standing in the doorway. "What's with the bag?" He asked. "Well, I kind of read up on Buffalo. Turns out, it's not really a great place." I said. He walked over and looked in the bag.

"Little overkill?" He asked with a smile. "Can't be too careful luv." I retorted. He shifted through and grabbed his costume and tossed it back in the closet. "I think I'll only need is the mask." He said. I smiled at him and zipped up the backpack. I kissed him and started to walk to the door. Piper ran up and meowed. "Oh don't you worry my little munchkin. I'll be back soon." I said kneeling down and giving her a kiss. She looked at me and meowed and scampered off.

"I still can't believe you got a cat." I said smiling at Peter. "Hey, I saw you clutching that plushy cat last night." He said. I smiled and playfully punched his arm. We walked outside to the car and Peter started it up and soon, we were rumbling down the highway to Buffalo.

-Peter's POV-

As we rumbled down the highway, I remembered I snooped around the car and found some old discs with music on them. I picked up one that read 'Foo Fighters'. I remembered listening to them in my world and loved their music. I put the disc in and changed to 'Long Road To Ruin'. I heard the music start to pour in.

Here now don't make a sound
Say have you heard the news today?
One flag was taken down
To raise another in its place
A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No stranger singing in your name

I looked at Lena as she looked at me. I started to sing a little and saw Lena rolled her eyes.

"Maybe the season
The colours change in the valley skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

Let's say we take this town
No king or queen of any state
Get up to shut it down"

I sang and saw Lena start chuckling. "You know this song luv?" She asked. "Yeah, I used to listen to them back in my world." I replied. She smiled and started to sing.

"Open the streets and raise the gates
I know one wall to scale
I know a field without a name
Head on without a care
Before it's way too late

Maybe the season
The colours change in the valley skies
Oh, God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell, heaven can wait"

She sang. I looked at her in awe. She stopped and looked at me. I was mesmerized at her voice. I didn't know we started to drift to the side and I jerked the wheel to the right. "Focus on the road luv, not me." Lena said laughing. I smiled. "Wanna finished it together?" I asked. She looked at me and smiled.

"Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

For every piece to fall in place
Forever gone without a trace
Your horizon takes its shape
No turning back, don't turn that page

Come now, I'm leaving here tonight
Come now, let's leave it all behind
Is that the price you pay?
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight"

As we finished the song, we arrived at the Walden Galleria Mall. It was 6:00 pm and the arcade was still opened. I found a decent parking spot and parked near the building. I pulled out my wallet and saw I had 150 dollars. "Ok, we can use 50 bucks for each, then separate 40 bucks and then 5 dollars." I said. She nodded and I got out. I jogged across the back and opened the door for Lena. I grabbed her hand and helped her up.

"Quite the gentleman are you?" Lena said I smiled and kissed her. "For you, every time." I said and offered her my arm. She chuckled and wrapped her arm around mine. We walked into the mall and headed off to the arcade. We got our cards and started walking around the place to looked for games to play.

I challenged Lena to a game of air hockey. I won with 5-4. Lena just chuckled and walked over to a basketball shooting game. She slid her card and the basketballs fell forward. With such accuracy, she began throwing in 3's. After the time ended, she had 50 points. She was rewarded with 150 tickets. [A/N: Yeah I don't know how the ticket system goes. Sue me.] She smiled at her achievement. We both walked over to a game that required speed. It had the option for two players and I looked at Lena. She smiled and walked on the platform.

I slid my card twice to register us both. I stretched a little and got ready. "3…2….1 Start!" The female voice said. What followed was a series of buttons being pressed by both me and Lena. After a minute passed, the bonus round started. We pressed, with lightning speed, all of the buttons before the three seconds passed. I looked and saw I had earned 50 tickets. I wiped the sweat from my brow and looked at Lena as she caught her breath. She smiled and laughed. "That was fun." She said.

After two hours, we amassed over 4,000 tickets each. I looked around and saw Lena use her winnings to get a couple of sour foods and a small plushy. I picked the nerf gun and thought of many ways to shoot Lena with it. I chuckled under my breath and placed it in the bag before Lena could see it. We walked back out to the parking lot and saw a group of people surrounding our car. I saw they were armed. I pulled Lena aside.

"Those guys are armed. Go distract them and I'll do the rest." I said grabbing the backpack. She nodded and walked over. I took my coat off and stuffed it into the backpack and grabbed my mask and web shooters. I placed my mask on and equipped my web shooters. I slung the backpack on my back and looked and saw Lena walk over.

"Hey luvs, I see you like enjoying my car. What can I help you with?' Lena asked. "We want your car." The man said. "Why?" She asked. "So we can sell it." He replied. "Sorry luvs, can't let you do that." She retorted. "Yeah? What you gonna do about it?" He threatened. "Oh, I'm not going to do anything. He is." She said.

On cue, I swung forward and dropped in front of them. "Oh crap, it's the SpiderMan!" He said backing off. "Are these men giving you trouble ma'am?" I asked Lena. "Yeah, they are trying to steal my car." She said. I looked at them and moved forward. The man dropped his pipe and took off. The rest followed his example and fled.

"Hahaha! Oh how they ran! That was amazing!" I said holding my stomach. "Oh, one of them pissed themselves!" Lena laughed pointing to a stream of piss. I howled with laughter. After a few minutes, I calmed myself down and opened the door for Lena. She got in and I walked over and placed the backpack near our winnings in the backseat and took my mask off along with my web shooters.

"One of these days luv, you need to teach me how to use these." She said holding my web shooters. "Soon. Just not today." I said. She placed them next to my mask and I pulled out. After a few hours, we arrived back at the cabin. I unlocked the door and Piper came running up to us meowing.

"Hi Piper! Oh I missed you!" Lena said kneeling down to pick up the small furball. Piper meowed and started to lick her face. "Haha! She's like a dog in a cat's body." Lena said laughing. She placed her on the ground and she scampered away. Lena walked after her. I smiled and pulled out some food to make for us.

I made grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for us. I brought the soup and stack of grilled cheese sandwiches to the counter and turned the TV on. "Lena, dinner's ready!" I called out. She came running out with Piper hot on her trail. She fell to the floor and Piper ran up her leg, past her torso and stopped at her face. She licked her and meowed. "I love you too munchkin." She said holding Piper. Piper meowed and ran off to eat. Lena got up and sat next to me as I flipped channels. She snagged it from me and switched it back to 'The Flash' on Netflix. We sat and ate until it hit 11:00. Lena was sleeping soundly on my shoulder. I smiled and picked her up and brought her to the bedroom. I removed her clothes with care and placed her in pajamas and tucked her in.

I walked out and cleaned our mess from dinner. I turned off the lights and the television and changed into pajamas. I walked outside and stood there looking at the moon. 'I thought I'd never find love. I always thought, after Gwen, I wouldn't find anyone else. I guess I thought wrong. Lena is a beautiful person. I would love to spend the rest of my days with her.' I thought. I smiled and took one last glance at the moon and walked back into the bedroom. I crawled in next to Lena and placed my arm around her. She snuggled in close and I felt myself drifting off to sleep.

A/N: Yas! So much love. I feel all giddy inside writing this. I might have a new story up later on, but I don't know if I want to. I'll think about. Anyways, thanks for reading peeps and as always, stay classy. Tata for now!
