A/N: I love writing this but when college starts back up again at the end of August I'm going to have to slow down on updates. Because of work and classes take most of my time but I'll still update just slower. But sorry it's been not as fast of updates as it has been I been distracted by video games, Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Fire Emblem Three Houses. Highly recommend both games by the way. As alway comments and suggestion are welcome. Without farther rambling heres chapter 7.
AVENGER TOWER:
As soon as Happy put the car in park she jumped out of the back seat and ran inside yelling a thank you to Happy. She throw her back pack on the couch and grabbed a soda from the kitchen than ran to Tony's lab while turning back to her alien self.
"Stark I'm back, Hello Bruce " Zhora said entering the lab finding Tony and Bruce both workin on something.
"Great how was it?" Tony said not looking up form his work.
"Good, I met Peter's friend Ned. What are you working on?" Zhora said starting to recognize the escape pod piece they were working on.
"It seems to have some recording on it but we can't get it to play" Bruce answered.
"Here" Zhora said pushing past them and opening up a compartment they failed to find. She began moving wires in place and a blue glow began to come from the escape pod. It began to show a hologram of Zhora's father.
"My Little comet I hope you found safety. I'm sorry I can not fulfill my promise to find you. I just hope you can forgive me for failing you like I did your mother, I love you Zhora" Zhora's father hologram said before there was a loud explosion sound and the message cut off. Tony and Bruce were bit confused but figured she knew the alien.
"Who is that?" Tony asked Zhora.
"My Father" Zhora said with a shaky voice barely holding back tears. Tony realized how upset the message made her knowing the facts now.
"It's going to be ok, Kid" Tony put a hand on her shoulder gently trying to comfort her.
"No, He promised me! He promised he'd come get me when it was safe from the Kree. Now, now he's dead!" Zhora said beginning to sob.
"I know, but it's not his fault" Bruce said trying to calm her as well.
"I wanna go home to my father's ship" Zhora cried and ran out of the lab before Tony or Bruce had a chance to say anything farther. Once in her room she locked the door and threw herself under her bed sheets and just wished for everything to stop. Zhora didn't know how much time as pasted nor did she care. In tell a knock on her door broke her out of her thoughts.
"Zhora, it's Pepper. Tony told me what happened. Can I come in please?" Pepper said through the door. Zhora unburied her head from her blankets and looked at the door.
"I don't want to talk, just please leave me be" Zhora said with a scratchy voice from crying.
"Ok, you don't have to talk but at least come out and get some dinner. You must be hungry, Tony got your favorite pizza and ice cream." Pepper said with a soft voice knowing how upset she was.
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry" Zhora said then burying herself back into her blankets. Pepper let out a small sigh giving up on getting her to open the door for now. She walked down to the kitchen knowing Tony was waiting for her. Pepper walked in the kitchen seeing Tony already eating the pizza her ordered.
"Did Bruce leave already?" Pepper asked sitting next to Tony at the Kitchen counter.
"Yeah, after the message we decide to call it a day. How's Zhora?" Tony said.
"She said she wasn't hungry" Pepper said sadden by Zhora's pain.
"She seemed to know her father was dead before, but this must have made her actually accept it" Tony said moving his hand to hold Pepper's.
"She just needs time. She's a strong girl" Pepper said kissing Tony cheek.
"I'll call to school tomorrow and tell them she won't be in for the rest of week, cause of a loss in the family or something" Tony said remembering what it felt like to lose a parent.
"Sounds good" Pepper agreed knowing she won't want to leave her room let alone the Tower.
FRIDAY AT SCHOOL:
"Hey Peter" Ned said leaning next to Peter's locker.
"Hey" Peter said back.
"She still gone?" Ned questioned.
"Yea she still upset, Mr. Stark said she won't even come out of her room to eat." Peter said sadden himself not only by her pain but he missed her presences.
"I know we don't know a lot about her kind but I still think they need to eat" Ned said a bit concerned.
"Yeah, I'm going to go over after school and see if I can get her to feel better" Peter said.
AVENGER TOWER:
Peter arrived at the Tower after swinging there in his Spider-Man outfit. He walked in and seen Happy sitting on the couch drinking coffee.
"Zhora here?" Peter asked Happy pulling off his mask.
"Yeah she hasn't left her room for the past four day. Me, Pepper and Tony tried everything" Happy said. Peter nodded and walked to her room.
"It's me, Peter" Peter said knocking on the door to her room.
"Peter the Parker, I know you are worried but I'm fine" Zhora said quietly. Peter sighed knowing this approach was getting him no where.
Zhora figured Peter left once she didn't hear him say anything more. Then Zhora hear a knock again but not on her door but on her window. She sat up on her bed and seen Spider-Man but she knew it was Peter. Sighing knowing he wasn't going to give up. She got out of bed and opened the window to let Peter in.
"Hey, I missed you at school" Peter said
"I missed you too" Zhora admitted. Peter seen her green cheeks were wet from tears and she looked tired. He pulled off his mask and sat it in her bed and pulled her in a hug. Her arms wrapped around his neck pulling him closer and burying her face in his neck.
"I miss him so much" Zhora cried breaking down in front of Peter. He just rubbed her back gently comforting her.
"I know" Peter said softly holding her. After awhile her cries calmed down.
"Thank you Peter" She said lifting her head from his shoulder and looking at him.
"anytime" Peter said getting lost in her lovely pink eyes. Before he could stop himself he leaned in and kissed her. He realized what he was doing and was going to pull away but stopped when he felt her kiss back. The kiss was gently and slow, Peter slowly pulled away and seen her eye slowly open looking at Peter.
"Peter stay with me tonight, I don't want to be alone" Zhora said hugging on to Peter once again.
"I'm not going anywhere" Peter said moving to lay on the bed with her and she snuggled into his chest with his arms wrapped around her waist. Her eyes grew heavy and quickly fell asleep listening to his heart beat.
"My Peter" she muttered before falling asleep.
"Yes, your Peter" Peter said watching her breathing even out falling into a deep sleep.
A/N: Sorry this chapter was kinda on the sad side. I'll try to make the next chapter more happy.
