Jessica came back to find peter sitting on the couch staring at the blank tv.
"Jesus kid. Scared the shit outta me. Don't do that" Jessica said as she walked up to him.
"We both know you're mentally incapable of being scared" he smirked, then turned away from the tv.
"That's not true" she said, while giving him her hand "come on"
"Where?" Peter asked.
"You get the bed, I'll get the coach" Jessica answered.
"That's not too reasonable, you know. I don't sleep" Peter said.
"Whatever kid" she said, reaching in and pulling him up like he weighed nothing.
"Damn" Peter said, defeated "can't I have a choice, at least?"
Jessica froze at his words.
Choice. Something she didn't have for a long time.
She didn't notice her grip on the boy tightened and he was on the ground.
She quickly let him go.
————————————-
Peter's POV
"Damn. Can't I have a choice, at least?" I asked.
I noticed something in her face change.
Was it sadness? Anger?
I couldn't tell.
Then all of a sudden, her grip tightened on my hand.
I couldn't help but hiss at the pain.
The grip got so strong that I heard a crack in my hand.
Great. Just great.
I fell to the floor just as Jessica changed her expression again. she quickly let go.
"Sorry" she answered as she leaned down next to me.
—————————————————
"Sorry" Jessica said as she looked at the boy on the ground, who was breathing heavily.
"It's-its Fine. I think it's just dislocated " peter answered.
"Dislocated?!" Jessica said as she took his hand. He hissed in pain as a response and she looked over his hand as peter looked down, trying not to show his pained face.
"It's really nothing. I've dealt with worse" peter said as he got up.
Jessica stayed on the ground thinking over what she had done.
"Worse?" She whispered.
Then peter remembered. She didn't know I was Spider-Man.
Peter placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "It's fine. You didn't do anything wrong. It was an accident"
Jessica got up. She looked at the boy who was hiding his hand.
"How'd you do that anyway?" Peter asked her as she walked into the bathroom to get something to help him with.
"Hm?"
"Like, dislocate it" peter said, his voice filled with curiosity.
"I um...have...super strength?" She said as if it were a question.
"Woah! Me t-" Peter cut himself off. He was about to blow his cover.
Peter heard a cabinet door in the washroom bang closed. A second later, a confused woman stepped out.
"Please, do continue" She said as she walked up to him.
"It's nothing" peter said as he backed away.
She kept walking up to him until they were a good meter away from each other. Peter had backed away into wall and he was cornered.
She quickly grabbed his arm and made him sit on the floor.
She took out an ice pack and placed it on the Now swelling thumb.
"It's fine, I can just pop it back in" he said as he tried to pull his arm away.
"Pop it back in?" She asked.
"Yeah. it's not that bad" peter said, biting his lip "I can handle it"
"And exactly how ould you know how to UN-dislocate your thumb? Has this happened before?" She asked as she rose an eyebrow and continued to examine his hand.
Then there was dead silence.
No one said anything for about five minutes.
Then, a phone rang. They both flinched at the sound.
Turned out it out, it was Peters.
He reached into his back pocket and got the phone.
On the phone it read unknown.
Who could be calling him this late?
"Who is it?" Jessica asked.
Peter shrugged. He picked it up.
"Hello?" Peter spoke into the phone.
"Is this peter? Peter Parker?" The man on the other end asked.
"Yes" Peter said, sitting up slightly higher "how'd you get my number?"
"That's not important right now. I was wondering if you knew a Jessica Jones." The man on the other end said.
Peter was about to answer when he heard a pop. He slid down and hissed. Turns out Jessica popped it back for him.
She looked him dead in the eye and shook her head.
"No. No, I don't know a Jessica Jones." Peter lied.
A sigh of relief escaped Jessica's mouth.
"Jessie, I know you're there. I know you can hear me." The man on the other end said.
She grabbed the peter.
"The fuck do you want? How'd you find me?" She said into the phone.
"Meet me in 10. Where it started" was all that was said before the phone hung up.
"That shit hurted" peter said as he hugged his arm.
"That's not a real word" Jessica said as she got up.
"Whatever. All words are made up" peter said.
"Okay. Peter, you need to sleep. I gotta go and do some other shit" Jessica said as she pulled in her leather jacket.
"Is this about kilgrave? Because if it is, then I'm coming" peter said.
"No it's not kilgrave" Jessica said, as she packed her gun.
"you're a terrible liar" peter said as he got up.
"Whatever. You're not coming. Did you not hear me when I said mind control, a few minutes back? And also, you're hurt." Jessica yelled.
"It's nothing I swear. I can still fight" peter protested.
"And the mind control part?" She asked
"I'll figure it out as I go" peter said.
"Look, Peter. I care about you, a lot. Partly because you're a kid and partly because you're a good friend. I can't have you out there" she said.
"Too bad. You're lucky I'm stubborn" peter said as he put his hoody back on.
"Explain, lucky" She asked.
"Come on! Just let me come! It'll be fun" peter said.
She scoffed "fun?"
"Where'd it start anyway?" Peter asked.
"A few blocks away from where you met me" Jessica said
———————————
When Jessica noticed that they were almost there, she pushed peter into a wall.
"I'm so sorry about this, peter" she said as she took pieces of the metal off the fence behind and wrapped Peters wrists with it.
Now peter was stuck to the fence.
"No! Don't do this, Jessica. Let me go! Please" peter yelled.
Jessica started walking away.
"I'll came back for you after I'm done" she stated.
As soon as Jessica left, peter pulled at the metal around his wrists.
Due to his strength he easily pulled them off.
He ran in the direction that Jessica had gone.
He made sure she hadn't seen her when she stopped walking.
Peter looked from the corner he was hiding in when he saw a man. He was staring right at Jessica.
"Missed me?" He asked.
Jessica didn't answer.
"Oh come on. Don't tell me you haven't missed me one bit" he said.
"Shit. I can't believe I'm doing this" peter said as he walked out.
Suddenly Jessica turned around.
There was no one else in the streets at this time.
Just the three of them. Or so they thought.
"What the hell are you doing here?! How'd you- get away from here! Run" she yelled.
"No" Peter simply answered.
"Who's this, Jessica?" The man asked.
"Are you kilgrave?" Peter asked.
The man walked toward peter.
"No, Stop. He has nothing to do with this. Forget about him. This is between us. Peter, go!" Jessica said as she walked towards peter and kilgrave.
"No, no, let him stay" kilgrave said as he turned back to Jessica.
"Who is he to you?" Kilgrave asked.
"A friend" she answered.
At this point peter wanted to attack already.
He started walking towards the man.
"The real question is, what do you want?" Peter asked.
"I'm the one asking the questions around here!" Kilgrave yelled.
Peter fell silent.
"Please, just go back, Peter. To your aunt. She's probably wirried sick." Jessica said.
Peter started laughing a bit before he looked at the ground, smiling.
"You really have no idea, do you?" Peter asked her.
"Oh, this is fantastic. I can do it all now! See, Jessica, you're immune to my mind control, however, this one, might just be perfect" kilgrave said, as he looked at peter. Then he smiled. "You can come out now"
Out came from behind the street, a family of four. They were all clearly terrified.
"Stand still. Don't try to escape" kilgrave told the family.
"What are you planning on doing?" Jessica asked.
Kilgrave ignored her.
"What's your name, boy" he asked.
Peter didn't want to answer but before he could, he heard his on voice speak over his thoughts "peter" He said.
"Peter why don't you come here" he said. Peter didn't move "come here, peter."
Peter saw his legs moving up to the man.
Jessica pointed a gun at him.
Kilgrave raised his hands in surrender.
"If Jessie here hurts me in any way, kill yourself by jumping off the roof of her apartment" kilgrave said.
"No!" Jessica yelled.
"It's your call" kilgrave told her.
She slowly brought the gun down.
Peter had confusion written all over his face. Jessica knew why. He didn't know why he was listening to kilgrave.
"Hey, you can't listen to him, okay?" Jessica told peter.
"Peter, why don't you help me out here. Take this family out" kilgrave ordered, as he handed peter a gun.
Peter walked to the family without hesitation.
They were all just standing there, not trying to escape.
"Why are you doing this?!" Jessica asked, as she stepped closer to kilgrave.
"That's a no-no. Try coming closer to me and that family won't be the only one dead tonight" he pointed to peter.
As peter raised the gun, his hands shoke. He was worried.
"Please. Don't make me do this" Peter begged.
"Too late" kilgrave told him.
Peter closed his eyes.
He heard four gunshots go off.
How'd he do that without looking? Kilgrave and Jessica thought.
He was horrified when he opened his eyes and saw as all four bodies fell to the floor.
"No!" Peter yelled, running up to the father of the family.
"Please, please don't die! Please!" Peter checked all their bullet wounds. They were all to the head. "Shit"
"Are you proud of what you've done?" Kilgrave asked him.
Peter slowly turned around and looked at him. "No" He croaked out.
He turned towards Jessica.
"I'm so sorry. I couldn't fight it" peter said to Jessica.
"You son of a bitch. You are going to pay for this!" Jessica said as she took her gun out and shot kilgrave in the shoulder.
He groaned in pain and fell to the floor.
Suddenly peter got up and started walking.
Jessica grabbed kilgrave and injected him with anesthesia and put him on her back and started running towards peter.
"Pete! You gotta stop! Please!" She yelled.
"I can't! I can't! Help me" peter said.
Jessica caught up with him.
"We can walk back together, by the time we get to my house, I am drop him off and help you" Jessica said.
Peter nodded.
Jessica could tell something was up with the kid.
"Peter, is it okay if I ask you some questions?" She asked.
No answer.
"How'd you get out of that metal? And How'd you kill that family without looking?" She quickly asked.
Peter tensed.
The next 10 minutes, they were talking to each other until they reached her apartment.
"Guys, roof, now" Jessica said into her phone.
At the front door, peter saw trish. Peter and trish had met a lot of times before. She was the one who introduced him to Jessica.
"Peter!" She said.
Peter didn't respond. He just walked past her, to the stairs.
"You guys in position?" Jessica asked through her phone.
"Yeah, were ready"
"What happened?" Trish asked Jessica.
"He got kilgraved" she answered.
—————————————————
The roof
Peter swung open the door and started walking towards the end of the roof.
He was about to fall to his death when a sets of hands grabbed onto him.
They pulled him to his knees. He looked up to see Luke cage holding him down.
When he looked in front of him, he saw iron fist blocking his path.
Peter started to pull away.
"Damn he's strong" Luke said.
Peter got one of his arms loose from Luke's grip.
But Luke managed to grab the other arm.
Peter quickly bended forward and Luke got thrown to the side of the building.
Peter grabbed his arm before Luke could fall off the building.
"Shit" Peter cursed, as he tried to lift him back up.
Iron fist, or Danny helped him.
As soon as peter pulled Luke up, he continued his path towards the edge of the building.
Just as he got to the end of the building, something grabbed him and he rolled onto the floor.
When he opened his eyes he saw an angry looking Jessica on top of him.
Who was he kidding? Jessica was always looking angry.
Peter was pinned to the floor by Jessica and he couldn't move.
Peter couldn't say much.
All he could say was "sedative" before trying to push her off. It ended up with peter on top of her with a fist in the air.
Oh shit. Not this again. Please. I don't want to hurt anyone, let alone kill someone!
Before he knew it, his fist was going down.
Jessica rolled away and the fist landed on the concrete roof. It made a bunch of cracks on the cement.
"Damn" danny said. "Let's see if he can do what you can, cause he can do what we can" he pointed toward Jessica.
"Please, I don't want to hurt you" peter pleaded "make it stop" peter said in Russian.
"What?" Danny asked in confusion.
"He said sedative. Get a sedative. A strong one" Jessica told them.
Danny nodded "I got it. You guys try and stall him from plummeting to his death"
They nodded and turned to peter who was at the edge of the building again.
"Guess were gonna have to fight him now" Jessica said.
"Guess so" Luke answered.
Luke threw himself towards peter and pulled him into his arms.
He 'hugged' him super duper tightly.
Peter started moving around, trying to get free, when Danny ran back in with a needle.
"We need to hold him down" Danny told them.
They nodded.
Luke started pulling peter towards the door.
"Let's do it inside" Luke told them
They ran after him to prevent peter from running off.
He struggled to get out.
He almost got out but he was pinned on Jessica's bed.
"Get the sedative!" Jessica yelled.
Danny came in and looked at peter.
They nodded, holding peter down.
Jessica was holding his hands down while Luke was holding his legs down.
Danny came up with the needle.
He I injected it in his neck.
All of a sudden, Peter felt like he was on fire.
He started screaming in pain but he couldn't move.
Jessica let go of his hand and he signaled for Luke to do the same.
Jessica kneeled next to the bed.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Must've had something else in his blood" Danny said.
She looked down
She put a gentle hand on his arm.
There were streams of tears coming out his eyes.
The screaming quieted.
She stroked Peters soft hair and got up.
She tied his hands to the poles of the bed and turned to the men.
"Thanks. He's not gonna be out for long though" Jessica told them.
"What?! That's the strongest sedative I have" Danny said "it's supposed to knock out elephants!"
"We need him out for twelve hours, for the effect to wear off" she told them.
"Let's go see what you brought, shall we?" Luke said
Jessica walked passed them and got to the coach where she had put kilgrave.
"That is one weirdly strong kid" Danny commented.
——————————————
"You okay Jess?" Trish asked her.
"Don't give me that bullshit. I'm not okay at all! The kid just tried to commit suicide, for God's sake! Can I not be okay?" Jessica yelled.
"Yeah-Yeah"
"Thank you!" She yelled as she buried her hands in her head. She started walking around the room in circles. Thinking.
A hand stopped her midway trough her sixth circle.
"This isn't going to help Peters case, you know" he told her.
"You're right" Jessica said as she grabbed a bottle of vodka.
"That's not gonna help either" he said.
She finished drinking the bottle.
She looked at her desk and smiled.
"What? What is it?!" Danny asked walking up to her.
She picked up the phone.
"Damn it. It's locked" Jessica said.
And so, she spent an hour trying to find the password.
"Finally!" Jessica yelled.
She unlocked the phone.
"I got it!"
"Got What? Who's phone is that?" Trish asked.
"Peters" Jessica said.
"I'm gonna go stay with peter, make sure he's out" Trish told her
She went to the contacts.
There she found Mays contact.
She called it.
"Hello?" Someone said.
"Hi, is this May Parker?" Jessica asked.
"No. Unfortunately, May Parker died of cancer about 3 months ago" the voice said.
Jessica stopped.
"Thanks" she hung up.
"How'd the kid become..like that anyway?" Like asked.
"He didn't tell me..no wonder I couldn't break his hand" Jessica remembered.
"What do you mean? You tried to break his hand?!" Danny asked.
"No... it was an accident. It should've broken though, but all it did was dislocate it" Jessica answered.
"Wow"
"Hey, you said something about his DNA being different, what do you mean?" Jessica asked.
"Well, we all have a specific type of requirements for our dna. Peter, well he has super strength.. but there might be more to it. All we saw was super strength though" Danny said.
"How would you know if he had super strength?" She asked.
"When he tried to punch you, he made a bunch of cracks on the ground. And when Luke tried to hold him down, he was equally as strong as him. Even almost threw Luke off the building! If he wasn't as short as he is, he could've easily taken Luke down" Danny said.
"You think kilgrave knew about this?" Jessica asked.
"If he did, he wouldn't want to kill him" Luke told her.
»«»«»»«»«»»««line break
It had been six hours since they sedated peter. Jessica woke up around seven in the morning.
She fell asleep on the chair behind her desk.
When she looked around, Danny was asleep on coach. Luke, on the carpet next to the coach, and kilgrave was taped to the wall.
A huge piece of duck tape was on his mouth, so, they were safe.
Jessica used this as her opportunity to slap him in the face. "He was just a kid! A fucking child!" Another slap "you think, you can get me back with just endangering the ones I keep close?!" Another slap "stupid motherfucker"
She walked away.
Went to her room to see the kid, when she saw Trish sleeping on a chair next to the bed while the bed had a teenager with messy hair on top.
As Jessica got closer she notced peter was talking in his sleep.
She went in closer for a look.
"Please...Stop...don't make me do this...let me go, Natasha!...no!..don't hurt them...please...you don't have to do this...let me out!" Peter was having a nightmare.
She decided to wake him up, when she remembered that she had to have him knocked out for twelve hours.
She sat next to him. Listening to his cries. Until she couldn't take it anymore.
She woke peter up.
Peter jolted upwards with a hiss of pain, before being pushed back down on the bed. He still had the duck tape around his wrists.
"You okay?" She asked
"Yea" he answered.
"You sure? Because you were screaming your head off when we ingested the sedative. And those are usually to stop the pain" she said.
Peter went silent. He looked at the window, before Jessica pulled his face from the window and made him look at her.
"What else, was in your blood?" She asked.
He didn't respond.
"Heroin or something?" She asked.
"I don't do drugs" he stated.
"Then what was in your blood?" She asked again.
"Drugs" he answered
"That doesn't make any sense though. You just said, you don't do drugs" she said.
"I-I was taken..kidnapped. It's a long story" peter said as he turned his head away.
"You wanna talk about it?" She asked.
"We both know that you're terrible at making people feel better" He half smiled.
"Sometimes it helps" she said.
It took a minute Ute for the kid to break down.
"It was so terrible. So, so terrible, Jess. I couldn't do anything I wanted. I killed, a family. Now that's number 7" peter mumbled.
"What do you mean, number seven?" She asked.
"Seven people I've taken" he said.
Jessica could totally relate.
"You know, counting them doesn't help"
"Then what does?" Peter asked.
"For me, drinking. For you, well, I don't know. You are going to figure that out"
Peter sighed.
"Well then please do come and tell the others how your powers work" she said, as she opened the straps holding him down.
Peter didn't move.
"Come on, kid"
"You trust me?" Peter asked.
"Yeah,come on let's go" she said.
When they got to main room, everyone was up.
All but Trish.
"Guys...here's peter" she says.
Everyone looks over.
"Hey" Peter whispers.
"You gonna tell us how you were as strong as Luke here" Danny said.
Peter nodded.
He turned to see the man taped to a wall, a huge pice of tape covering his mouth.
His eyes widened.
A hand settled on his shoulder.
"It's okay peter. He's not gonna hurt anyone anymore" Jessica said.
Peter could swear he saw the man smiling from behind all that tape.
