And it's the body of water

That splits us right down the middle

"Don't worry, Dreams are just messed up things on your head." Mato tried to calm the kid down and she did, Melody yawned.

"Could you stay with me?" she asks over her. Mato nods. "Sure." Mato hummed laying at the couch, the little girl wrap her hands like a child would to his/her own mother.

"I'm scared, Mom." Melody closes her eyes while holding her hand, she look at the little girl with surprise, she never had been call a Mom before. Mato sighed gently, she give the little girl a kiss on the forehead before they went back to sleep again

The world was collapsing, and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive.

-Rick Riordan

Next day, she wake up in a massive pain on her body when she rolled at the ground. She wipe the drool on her mouth. She groaned, when she heard Insane's laugh inside of her mind. Laughing on how she was messed up and laughing on how she tumbles at the floor.

She dusted herself up before arranging the couch and the blanket.

"Morning, Mom" Melody greets her, "I want some bottle." she whines.

"Aren't you old to have a bottle?" she rise her brow, the little girl crossed her hands and let out a huff.

"I'm 5 and a half not eight." she told her. So she was five not eight, because of her height? No, I just had the wrong thought about her age. She thought briefly. She picks her up by the arms and went to the kitchen.

"Mister Stark, is there a bottle for Melody?" she asked, it was awkward for calling him Mister Stark like how Peter would in their world. She always go for Stark, and she called him Tony once. Well yesterday.

"Fridge." he was busy reading some papers on the table.

Mato opens up the fridge, seeing a bottle there. She grabs it then gives it to Melody.

"There we go-"

She stopped moving, when she heard a large crash outside. She quickly puts down Melody at the chair.

She glanced at Tony, blades appeared on her hands. She made her way outside slowly trying to avoid to get seen.

Maybe, another threat? She bites her lips, perhaps a spy that Parker has sent to?

Tony readied his blasters up, just in case. He firstly went out.

"Uh, Kid. You might wanna look at these." Tony said, she came out from her hiding as she withdraw her sword.

Her eyes widen, she felt tears started to roll on her eyes. She couldn't believe what she just saw infront of her.

It was her Peter Benjamin Parker, not from this world. But from her own world, her blades drops on the ground. She quickly embrace him with a hug and a long sweet kiss that she missed.

"How did you get here?" she asks, cupping his cheeks. He laughs adorably making her heart beating warmly.

"A lady that looks likes you bought me here." He said, tears of joy was on his eyes.

"Stella, Stella Ishikawa. That's her name."

"Ehem." Tony cleared his throat, the two break away. Mato smiled sheepishly.

"Mister Stark! It's really good to see you!" He smiled cheerfully, he hugged him. Tony couldn't believe what he felt, its been an old age.

Before the Peter Parker on this world had gone crazy, he might not be his Peter but. He could still had the same trait as the old Peter Parker did. Tony Stark, cried as he hugged this goof.

He still missed this version of Peter Parker, just like the old times.

"Grandpa, are you crying? Who's that?" Melody asked, standing beside Mato.

"Wow, babe she looks just look like you." Peter bends down.

She does have a resemblance of Melody, the face and the shape of her eyes. But the smile, he felt a familiarity with the damn smile.

"That child is yours, Son." Tony whispered smiling a little. The way he called son to Peter. His eyes widen. Something click inside of him

"Her name is Melody," Mato pointed her thumb to the kid.

"Parker." she mouthed, trying to make his brain understand That this kid is actually theirs, but, from different dimension.

"You mean, she's ours?" he looks at the little girl. "But, from other dimension?" he looks at his Girlfriend who nods cheekily.

"She got your eyes." he whispered, her cheeks reddens, when he smiled looking at her.

"Which I always dreamt about." Peter grinned, as she looks away rolling her eyes.

"Whatever Peter." she chuckled. "I want one."

"What?" she looks at him, picking up Melody up. "What?" he repeats. She rolled her eyes again.

"Alright, love birds. We still got a plan to discussed." Tony looks at the two. Like the old days, he sighed.

The memory is so fuzzy, Tony watches the younger self of Peter Parker who is busy talking about him saving some old lady from bandits. He nod his head, I mean who couldn't? He save many people now. Tony chuckled, continuing listening his son's story.

The elevator opens revealing, the younger self of Mato Kuroi who was wearing a civilian clothes, also wearing a baseball cap and a sunglasses.

"You know, Mister Stark. I look ridiculous on this disguise, I felt like I was going on a baseball play." Mato said with a bit sarcasm on her voice as she put down the glasses.

"And nobody spotted you?" Tony asked, looking at the black haired girl.

"Well, I wear masks and nobody knows my identity, unlike you guys." she pointed out.

"Point taken," Tony chuckled, Mato directly rests her head at Peter's head. Who immediately his face reddens.

"H-Hi." he greets like a shy boy would, she rolled her eyes. "Is that how you greet your Girlfriend?" she covered her smile.

"Not even a kiss?" she snickered slightly. Tony huffed, looking at them who instantly flirted with each other. Anyway, where is Pepper?.

"You know I don't know how." Peter pouted, Mato stops laughing looking away.

"Me neither, I guess were both even." she shrugged her shoulders.

Tony rolled his eyes in annoyance, of course these two doesn't know how to kiss in lips to lips. Mato sighed, giving a sweet peck on his cheek.

That's what Mato could offer, only a kiss on the cheeks. Just the old times.

"Mister Stark? Are you alright?" Peter asks him, Tony shake his thoughts off. "I'm fine, Pete."

"Peter." Mato called as she glitched, she groaned in pain. She felt her body once again burning in pain.

"Babe? What's going on?" he rushed into her side.

"A person can't exist here, if their other one was dead." Tony explained, Peter picks her up gently

"I'm dying slowly." she said looking away, she sighed.

"No, I won't let that happened. We'll get out of here. Together." He holds her hand.

She smiled a little, Mato always had her hope and she knows that she will gonna escape this world.

He gave her a peck on her lips, assuring her that it will be alright. She chuckle.

"So this evening, there will be a party one of his wives birthday," Tony puts one picture of a Queen. "And we know those concubines always wants big titty parties." Tony chuckled, Mato rolled her eyes as Peter looks away.

"Wait, How many wives did he have?" Peter looks at her.

"13-" Mato answered looking at him, remembering what she had saw when he tries to feed her.

"12, why would it be 13?" Tony asked, Peter looks at her. Her lips were quivering.

"I am the thirteenth, and." her breathing gets heavier, he nearly assaulted her at the bathroom.

"He touch you, didn't he?" Peter asks, his voice is calm and yet dangerous at the same time.

She gulped, many times and she doesn't like his unwated soft touches. It was nightmare inducing, scaring her off to death.

"Did he touch you?" Peter growled, when she look down. Peter grits his teeth, his hand ball into fist. That bastard is gonna pay tonight.

"Oh God." Tony rub his temples, if he had a daughter that was assaulted. Touching that shouldn't be touched on was already toast.

"H-he, forced me. But we didn't do it because I fight him off and escape." she explained.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't tell you sooner-" she bursts into tears, she was shaking in fear. I mean, who wouldn't? Some stranger trying to force into you that you don't agree with? It was TERRIBLE!

"Ssssh, it's okay. I'm here now." Peter said softy, "I won't let him hurt you agan." He said with a soothing voice.

"Tony, please continue." she said, Tony nods his head.

"The party will start around 5:30 pm, and we are so lucky today. The wife's theme wants a masquerade themed party. You two should sneek in, I'll be here because of Melody. I'll be the Guy on the chair, I'm an old man." He laughs patting Peter's back.

"So... We need to get some costumes?" Peter asks, shrugging his shoulders.

"Yeah, that reminds me. How and where can we get our outfits?"

Tony rolled his eyes, gesturing to follow him.

They came across at a room that is dark, when he flicked the lights on.

"That's a big wardrobe." her mouth was open, she goes in looking at the wigs. She look at the side seeing a picture of her older self and Peter smiling happily she had her hand on her belly.

"We'll get to that." She heard Peter from behind, she could tell he was smiling. She put the photo back on the table.

"Soon."

She finished the last touch, as she wear the brown wig that completely makes her a different person. She used the comb to brush her hair then used a pin to make it a messy low bun. She applied lipstick on her lips and a few mascara on her face. The gown she wear was a bit revealing, she didn't like how her back was showing and her legs sticking out that really shows her milky white thighs. When she look herself at the mirror, she felt sadness. She looks like her mother, she got the beauty side of her own mother.

"You okay?" she heard him asks, at the doorway. He was leaning down at the wood.

"I just remembered Mom and Dad and Hiro." she said sadly. He embraced her with a hug, she buried her head to his chest.

"It's okay, I'm here M'lady." he said in his british accent. She looks at him giggling while looking at his fake mustache and fake wig.

"You look like a dork!" she said, between laughs.

"Your dork." he corrected giving her a peck on the forehead. "Come here, Parker." she pulled him a kiss, her fingers running around at his fake wig.

His hand slowly snakes up to her waist, she smiled pulling away. "Sorry, I don't know how to make out." she looks away, her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

Before he could say something, Tony appeared on the door way with a smug smile plastered on his lips.

Stella, she reached up her dress for how many months she was asleep. She wear some dress that really doesn't show her baby bump, she reached for the brush and let it slide on her hair. Well, her hair was dry and fuzzy. So, she let it cut off in to short pixie bob cut, she didn't mind her hair was like this. It felt so good, when she felt her head lighter.

Her hand touches on her baby bump, she smiled. Just after the child is born she will take care of it by her own, raising herself with a child. She will keep her child safe, not even knowing who's its father was. She cover her eyes with her hand, guilt started to fill up in her mind. But what if her child will know the truth? Would she be forgiven? Knowing her child's father was having someone else?.

Her other hand balls into fist, no. She wouldn't let that happen. She's gonna keep this on her own. She was just trying to be brave, she stood up heading back to the kitchen. Weird craving really hits her hard, she grabbed a couple of chocolate cake and raw strawberry, she eats it slowly.

My God, I never felt so weak and pathetic before. She noted eating more of the food, until she doesn't need it anymore. She grabbed the dishes and clean it. She motioned her head, bringing the teen's Peter Parker was a success. She thanked Azriel for it, she's getting helpless...

"What would your Mommy gonna do now?" She looks down at the bump. She looked down, grabbing some hoodie and dark glasses. Who says she can't go out? She wear the hoodie and put on the hood.

The door bell rang, she fixed her face before reaching out to the door seeing Paddy with the biggest smile on his face.

"I can't believe you are back!" he said tears flowing out from his eyes, she embraced the boy she flashed him a smile.

"I am now, come Its been many months since I got out from the house, she grabbed his hand.

"Where are we going?" the boy asks worriedly, looking at the short haired woman.

"Going out?" she shrugged her shoulders. "Watch some cinema? Eat ice cream? Play at the arcade?" she listed trying to get the problems off at her mind.

"Are you sure about that? What if the media will see us both?" Paddy questions her, she shrugged her shoulders. "Well, they never saw me in a short hair before. I think they won't realize it. Besides my disguise is perfection." she crack a smile.

"Well, you look like going on a baseball game, sounds foolish." Paddy stick his tongue out.

She grabs some keys, locking the door and went in to the black themed camaro. The engine roars to life she turned the gear shift then stomping the pedal with feet.

She pressed her fingers on the button, music bursts out from the speaker. Thank goodness she still remembers how to drive. Being in a coma for months was truly a disaster, after few minutes they arrived on the mall. She was indeed right, no one actually noticed her appearance. Her hands shoved at her pockets, they make their way to the a cafe buying a warm chocolate drink for the both of them and her weird craving is tingling. She sipped the warm liquid at her mouth.

"I haven't seen Miss Mato, ever since you woke up." Paddy looks at her.

"Another guy stole him from the day of the premiere. Luckily, I successfully bring my soul to my own vessel back." She sipped the chocolate on her mouth, looking away. Paddy is the only one who knows this, dimension traveling, Azriel not being a normal human and her killing all of her father's rivalry.

Quite interesting to let the kid knows it all. She cock her head to the side seeing a familiar person on the escalator coming down. Her blood went cold, ducking down.

"What are you doing?" Paddy asked. He look outside seeing his older brother and his friend, Tom with Harrison.

"Holy crap."

"Language." she hissed, grabbing his hands to making him duck down too.

"Let's get out of here." Stella whispered, gesturing him to follow her.

She goes out firstly, hood covering her face. She grabbed Paddy's hand, looking at the escalator which Tom and Harrison wasn't there anymore. She grits her teeth, looking down. The two wasn't on her sight right now and its very dangerous.

She lined up in a cinema, it would be a good chance to hide in there.

She only stopped when she heard a gun shot at the east side of the mall and an explosion.

"What was that?"

"I don't know." she glared at the east side of the mall where she could hear people screaming.

He wrapped his fingers to hers, she looked at his brown eyes while she was the one who was driving, the two looked up at the building with fancy lights.

"Nervous?" he asked, looking at her eyes. She stares at the large building.

"Very." he quickly suspect there is mixture of fear on her voice, just few cars both of them waited until its them. They were directly greeted by a chauffeur who took the keys and drive away, she wrapped her arms tightly to his.

"Good evening, Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Anderson." a waiter bowed respectfully, courting them to the ball room. She glance at the fake wedding rings that they were using, Peter squeezes her hand looking at her blue eyes. Her hands were cold as ice.

She felt a chill running over to her spine, she was sure someone was indeed watching her. She squeeze Peter's hand looking at his eyes filled with fear she could muster. She was getting afraid, so he pulled her close to him. Peter makes sure she was looking at him trying to calm her down as possible.

"May I have this dance, milady?" he pulled out his hand. This is just like homecoming.

"Yes, you may." she grabbed his hand as the two begin to dance, her dress swayed.

"Peter, I'm scared." she stuttered completely looking at his brown ones. He could feel her breath getting cold.

"You don't need to, I am scared too." Peter assured calming her down twirling her around. He does admit he was scared and angry at the same time. Scared because what if this Peter will took her away from him?. Angry because he shouldn't be messing her.

"Let's do this together." they both nod, looking at his other one who was on the stage.
