Chapter 14
With some persuasion, Peter was able to bring the old Impala into the garage of the Overwatch base to do some touch up. McCree and 76 had offered to help, but he declined politely.
"I just need some time to myself guys. I promise you I'm fine." The Webslinger said with a false smile.
"Okay Pete, we're here for ya." McCree said before patting him on his shoulder. 76 nodded and as the two walked out.
"Thank god they left, if they kept saying stuff like that, I was going to explode." Peter said dropping his smile. He truly missed Lena, after that whole debacle he just wanted to be alone.
"I just wish you told me about her." Peter said as he lifted the hood and began to work on the engine. The door opened as Pharah walked in. Her and Peter were great friends when he decided to stay. He would ask Lena if it was okay for him to have a sleepover at her quarters, even though they were two rooms apart from each other.
"Hey Pete." Fareeha said. "Hey Big Bird." Peter replied. Pharah clicked her tongue before smacking his arm lightly.
"You know I hate that nickname." She laughed making his heart flutter. "I take it you're here because of the incident that happened during Christmas?" Peter asked in his monotone voice.
"Peter, we're worried about you. Lena came back, she was frantically looking for you." She said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Well, it's not the first time I've been heartbroken. I'll manage." Peter said looking at her with a smile. "Peter please, talk to me at least. I've missed my sleepover buddy." Pharah said looking into his eyes. Peter placed his tool down and placed his hand on hers, making Fareeha's heart flutter.
"Thank you Fareeha, you've been a true friend." Peter said. Fareeha smiled before a knock was heard. The two glanced behind them and saw Lena standing there with her hands behind her back.
"I think it'll be best if you didn't see Peter for a few days Lena." Fareeha said standing in front of him. "I wanted to talk with Peter. If that's alright?" Lena asked.
"Lena-" Peter placed hand hand her shoulder. Fareeha glanced at his face as he nodded for her to leave. Pharah looked one last time before giving Lena a glare and leaving.
"I can see I'll still need to gain their trust back." Lena laughed lightly. Peter crossed his arms and stared at her.
"Why are you here?" He asked. "I wanted to say I'm sorry love. I never meant to hurt you by kissing her. I told her we were done, but she rushed forward and kissed me. I was transported back to the time I met her. Honestly Peter, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you." Lena pleaded as tears began to brim her eyes. Peter stared at her before returning back to the Impala.
"Peter." She said before Peter slammed his tool on car. "I've realized that I'm in a completely different world, or at least part of me has been transported to it. I was ripped from my family and thrusted into a whole new one. I was ripped from my wife, my aunt May, my friends and when I met you and Overwatch, I was happy again. I was with another family. Then when we were dating, I was estatic." He said. Lena looked at him as he gripped the tool tight in his hand.
"I was happy, no villians to attack me, or any of you guys because that's what you do on a daily basis. I didn't need to worry about anything. But, now I don't know if I can believe that again." He said as tears raced their way down his face. Lena took a step forward and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry love, honestly I am. I still love you." Lena said with tears. Peter glanced at her, making her stop in her tracks. The pain, the hurt, the betrayal in his eyes told her to stop.
"No, this, I'm sorry, but this is over Lena." He said making her gasp. "No, please Peter. Give me another chance." She begged holding his arm. He yanked away from her and walked towards the door.
"No, this is over Lena. It's clear to me that you love Emily more than me. Now go, before you make it worse." Peter said sniffling lightly. Lena walked over to him and pinned him to the wall.
"Let go of me Lena." He said struggling. "I love you Peter." Lena said kissing him as he squirmed.
"Lena! Leave me-" She cut him off with another kiss. Fareeha stood near the door, she heard the struggle and swung it open to see Peter squirming in her grasp as she pinned him. Pharah rushed over to them and ripped Lena from him and tossed her to the ground.
"Leave him alone" She growled. Lena stood up and brushed her legs and stared her down. Peter looked to the ground as Fareeha balled her fists and looked the time traveler dead in the eyes.
"Leave, you are not welcomed in his life anymore." She snarled at the Brit. "Fine then, if that's how he wants it. I'll leave." She said pushing past the human rocket and leaving for her room. Fareeha watch as she left and looked back at Peter as he cried.
"I'm here for you Petey." She said. Peter wrapped his arms around her and held her close. She smiled and stroked his hair as the Webslinger cried into her shoulder.
'Man, I feel bad for Peter.' 'Right, I thought the author's life sucked, this is depressing.' Seriously, shut the hell up. 'We're just putting in out thoughts, no need to get rude.' Fine, I'm sorry. I'm just waiting for her to come into my life. But enough with my life, this is a fanfiction, so back to the story!
~The Next Day~
Peter awoke to see Lena and her things gone. He looked around until he felt arms around his chest. He glanced down to see the sleeping face of Fareeha. Feeling his uneasiness, Fareeha snapped awake and sat up as Peter looked at her. She blushed lighty before brushing some hair behind her ear.
"Good morning Petey." She said with a smile. Peter smiled and laid back down as he nuzzled her close. Piper jumped on the bed and sniffed Pharah.
"Good morning little one." She said scratching the back of her ear. Piper purred and meowed at her. She licked her face before taking off for her food bowl.
"Thank you Fareeha, for everything." Peter said stroking her cheek. Fareeha giggled lightly.
"Oh stop, you're making me blush." She said covering her mouth with her hand. "If it's alright, I was jealous of you and Lena at the time. I was close to asking Angela if she wanted to go out with me." Fareeha said as Peter smiled at her. He leaned in and kissed her forehead, making her blush and stare at him.
"Thank you Fareeha." He said making her smile and giggle. The two got up, showered, and dressed. Ready for the day, the two walked out as they held hands. They walked to the mess hall before stopping as Lena walked by. Peter ignored her as him and Pharah grabbed food and sat in an empty table. Hana and Lucio walked over and chatted with the two as Lena sat alone with Winston.
"I'm such an idiot." Lena said watching as Fareeha fed him, making him laugh. "I let a good man get away because of my ignorance." She said staring at the food. Winston sighed before wrapping her in a hug.
"Thanks big guy." She said returning the embrace. Peter glanced to see Lena and Winston as she cried. He felt a pang of guilt and sighed.
"Are you okay Pete?" Fareeha asked. "I kind of feel bad, I don't know if I assumed that she was going to be with Emily or not." He replied. Lucio sighed and patted his shoulder.
"I'm sorry man, but if she is going to do that, on Christmas no doubt, then she doesn't deserve you." He said as Hana nodded.
"Yeah, if she's going to pull the fireworks on you, don't fall for it. It's her fault, you're a good guy Pete." Hana said. Peter smiled and nodded to the two.
"I'm sorry Peter." Lena said making the four jump. Fareeha glared at her as Lucio and Hana sighed.
"You messed up big time Lena. You broke his heart. You chose her over him, and he spent a lot on you. You went to a cabin, he bought you dinner, hell he bought you a cat! I don't know if I want to be your friend anymore." Hana said. Lucio nodded in agreement.
"I-I,-" Peter cleared his throat and stood up. "Peter, I-" She started before he raised his hand up for silence.
"All I want to know is, are you happy with her?" He asked. "Peter, please I can explain." Lena begged.
"Are, you, happy?" He asked again. Hana and Lucio looked at each other as Fareeha balled her hand.
"With her, I-I, I am happy. Whenever we were together, I would think of her." She admitted. Peter felt as if his heart was stabbed by a fire, hot, knife. He sighed and nodded.
"Then I am happy for you." He said with a genuine smile. Lena felt tears fall down her face as she could finally express her love for Emily.
"Still friends?" He asked holding out a hand. She grasped it and shook. "Friends." She replied with her famous smile. Peter chuckled lightly.
"Can you ever forgive me?" She asked Peter. He shook his head. "I forgive you, but I don't know about the rest of the members. That is up to you." Peter said before sitting down and resuming his breakfast. Lena sighed before returning to her spot with Winston.
"You did your best. Time heals all wounds." Winston said patting her back lightly. "Thanks big guy." Lena said with newfound courage.
A/N: So the pairing has changed, no more Lena, now it's Pharah. Pharah's character is actually really good, her lore and character is amazing. I hope you all enjoyed this, tata for now!
