-Chapter-8-

-Santana pov-

"So this is Lima" I take a deep breath and sigh "Thought I was fully out of this cesspool"

"Look I am going to get us into my dads house" Rachel opens her door "After that you can trash the town"

"Whatever" Rachel gets out and I look at Kate "You have given random looks and one liners at me all day"

"I have done...ok fine I see how you look at Rachel!" I narrow my eyes and she points at me "You stay away ok! She is mine not yours! She wants to date me not you!"

"Say it to my face" She glares and I smirk "So much for worlds greatest archer huh?"

Before I can react I am being hit. We end up on the lawn and throwing punches. I hear yelling but I ignore it. I want to end this bitch before she can start shit.

I have held onto that secret for years now. Sure I loved Brittany but I always wanted to try dating Rachel. I found her so alluring and I broke when she ended our friendship. I lost the only shot I had at having her as close as possible to me.

I came back to New York to be with her. When I though I lost my mom and when I did lose Brittany I cracked. I stayed away and lost my job. After that I lose everything else.

"She will never know!" I trap her in a triangle choke hold "She can never know! She can never know I love her! She can never know and you can never tell! I am fine just being her friend! I will not let you take her from me though!"

"Fuck you!" She gets out and traps me in the same choke hold "She is mine and asked me out! I like her and you left her! Go to hell!"

"ENOUGH BOTH OF YOU!" We both look to see Rachel with Leroy "I see we have many things to talk about while here"

"Oh god" A loud thud sounds and we all look to see Yelena hiding with Lucy "So...hi?"

"Who else is here?" Peter slowly lands with Brittany while Clint zip lines over "Look I do not have time for this ok? Just do not destroy the house!"

"Thanks dad" Rachel gives him a hug and then looks at everyone else angrily "INSIDE THE HOUSE NOW!"

"Oh fuck" Clint cringes and puts his bow away "We are fucked"

"Language" He makes a zip motion and Rachel smiles "Smart boy"

We all head inside quickly after that "Nice house Rach" Peter looks around in awe "This looks so cool! Is this how all Broadway up comers live?"

"He shall always be my favorite" Peter smiles and Rachel turns toward us with a glare "Speak now"

"Kate is not good for you!" She raises a eyebrow and I continue "She is not! She is going to end up leaving this earth if able!"

"Is this true?" All the heroes share looks and Brittany looks broken "I thought you wanted to be with me!"

"Brittany I do and I would not be going back!" The other heroes seem to be shocked at that news "Look guys I found a life here! I can be normal here! I can be Peter Parker and not a hero! The criminals just give up when I stop them and the police can handle it! I want to stay with Brittany...she is all I have now"

"Kate?" I look at the young archer who refuses to look at Rachel "I see...well then I guess you can call your wizard friend to portal you home with your stuff"

"Rachel wait!" Rachel ignores her and walks away "I...I want to stay now"

"We all do" Yelena grabs me by the collar "You are a selfish bitch! We gave you a home! We gave you food! We gave you clothes to wear! Why betray us like this?! Who do you think you are asshole?!"

"Just as you said" she loosens her grip some "I am a bitch ok? I am an asshole! I have always been because deep down I am afraid! I am afraid of being hurt! I am afraid of being betrayed! I am...I am afraid that no matter what I do no one will remember me"

"But being a hero makes me memorable as well as on Broadway" I nod and Kate takes Yelenas place but instead of holding me by the collar she is hugging me "I am so sorry for making you feel like this"

"You are special" I hug her back as tears fall "Rachel is lucky to have you"

"Rachel would be lucky to have you as her girlfriend" Kate pulls back "I mean look at you! You look so hot!"

"Thanks but so do you" There is a throat cleared and we turn to see Rachel is the only one with us "So everyone left to explore Lima"

"Wizard guy strikes again" We separate and I take a deep breathe before talking "I am alright if you two want to date"

"Legally I can only marry one person" Rachel looks between us "You both have a lot of wooing to do to make me want to date you both and stay with you both after that little show you had"

"Both?" Rachel nods and saunters away "What do you say?"

"I say we have some plans to make"
