CHAPTER 7 (Darcy Lewis)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Spiderman the avengers or thor.

The impact of the car caught the young future hero off guard his senses didn't warn him a car was even in the immediate area. It was strange for him not that he couldn't sense the car but how he felt a sheering pain from impact but it faced away momentarily just like when you get a cut on your body the pain only last for when it happens. He wasn't on the ground in utter pain screaming bloody Mary he was on his two feet with a dopy look in his eyes. He wanted answers but he didn't have the time to ask any there wasn't a driver in the car to begin with but what's strange is how did the car stop when the vehicle hit Peter. All these questions formed in his head but as he thought he didn't need the answer now but later.

Dusting the dirt the car had left on his body be began to proceed on his path to school, all in his mind that he could comprehend was how would Gwen react to seeing him. She wasn't found of not giving a full reason to why he wouldn't have called, but what was he going to say. Sorry a spider bit me giving these freak powers also my new found uncle was killed by a robber and I learned Eric is my new cousin. She wouldn't believe a word he had to say if he was lucky he would get the time of day from her. She was a high maintained girl and he wanted her but after the stunts he has pulled in the last couple of days he had no doubt that Tony, Steve and Gwen wouldn't be talking to him. He couldn't blame them but if they knew his side of the story or even let him talk then they would all give him a chance.

The schoolyard was in seeing distance from where he was walking from. Everyone except Peter and Eric were in class while Eric was with his new family Peter had to go find the one that mattered the most to him. When entering the school he noticed the halls were desolated if a pen would drop in the hallway you'd here and know where the location of the pen was. It felt foreign being back in school but he needed an education regardless if he thought he didn't need one.

Walking past the office they were busy at work trying to keep the school safe, even if their job wasn't going accordantly to plan since Eric constantly harassed people at the school. Maybe they should quit their day job while they still have the chance. His locker was empty as well no couple kissing at the ugly mustard yellow locker this was a first and he was being to like the new changes the school has begun to start. He opened the locker and took out his notebook and shut the locker making a loud ringing bang when it had come in contact with the metal material.

"Peter is that … you"

The voice was soft but broken he knew who it belonged to without even turning around to look at the person. Slowly turning around there she was standing in his brown mid thigh skirt a white button down shirt and her classic brown boots, Gwen Stacy the girl of his dreams. She looked distraught though her cheeks were rosy red and her facial expression showed she looked uneven as if seeing him caused her emotions to run high.

"Um hi Gwen how are because you look great if nobody has told you and if they have told you then great" Peter had begun to ramble on until he looked into her ocean blue eyes.

"Where have you been in the last couple of days?" Gwen's asked her voice cracked at the end.

"Um I was going through something I just needed sometime away from all of this" He had explained vaguely.

"Well did you even bother to at least come by and talk to me I didn't know what happened Peter I go to your house and asked your dad's and they said you weren't talking about it to them. So would you like to rephrase what you just told me or is it something you need time to think about" Her voice was cracking all over the place as she spoke to him.

"Look Gwen I didn't mean it like that I just needed some thinking time."

"Well I'll give you all the time you can have Peter Parker I don't want you to talk to me at all. Sorry if caring about a person isn't aloud so I'll tell you something then I've liked you Peter and I just wanted to have dinner to get to know you…. But I've already seen what type of person that you are. A scared little boy that is to insecure to get help when given to him and I don't need that. I need a person I can trust and Peter I don't and will never trust you" Gwen yelled out at him.

She had turned around and quietly walked away from a stunned Peter she cared about him and he let her down. He was horrible to treat her this way but the less she or anybody knew the better chance he had to keep a normal life.

"Well no point of staying at school" Peter mumbled to himself

He began to walk out of school there was nothing left for him to stay at this hellhole. The girl he wanted doesn't want anything to do with him, Eric had taken root in his life and his family most likely didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore as well. He was as you call it fucked and he knew there was no pleasing the people he loved and or cared about. Why even stay in this city if there was no person who wanted to get to know him.

He walked out the school and aimlessly walked down the streets of New York City he had no purpose. He was unsure of how he was to act without a meaning or cause in his life. If people were to hear him they would call him melodramatic but no one was willing to listen to who would hear him talk at all.

He needed his voice to be heard by anyone who cared or even wanted to listen to him talk.

He bumped into another person but this time he looked up at them and recognized the person.

"Darcy is that you"

"Well what do I owe you the pleasure of seeing me Peter" The smirk on her face was uncanny.

"Now the last time I saw you I helped you out so if I do say so myself shouldn't it be what do you owe me this occasion Darcy" Peter copied her smirk back.

"Well I was just getting some coffee since it is my only day off from my hectic schedule why are you mindlessly walking around downtown today" Darcy asked still holding the sarcastic smirk on her face.

"Well since my life is in need to stop being dreadful I deiced to walk around and clear my mind"

"Well would you like to join me in Starbucks we can both go over how crappy our lives our" Darcy asked dropping the smirk from her face.

"Sure I'd love too."

They both entered Starbucks and lucky for Peter it was right next to where they had bumped into one another. The line was surprisingly short with only one person in line ordering something but then again the place was packed with people on their laptops working. As they approached the cashier Peter already knew what he had wanted.

"I want a Italian roast coffee in a tall"

"And are you to paying separate or together" The cashier asked

"Were paying-" Peter had interjected Darcy before she could get her answer out. "Were paying together"

They acted like a real couple would, her facial expression was screaming don't pay for me but it didn't phase Peter at all. They kept this little battle up for three more seconds until she caved in to him.

"I want a peppermint mocha tall please"

"Okay that will be 6.34." The cashier told them adding a very fake smile at the end.

Peter took out the money from his pocket and played the cashier and they left the line to go wait for their drinks.

"Why did you pay for me I have money Peter I don't need help" Darcy whispered into his ear

"Blah blah blah is all I'm hearing it was a small jester of friend I can give out. So stop with all this I'm in power crap and take the drink." Peter whispered back to her.

She looked stunned but who would, Peter never talked to anyone like that only in his head had he spoken to anyone like that.

They had chosen a table and sat across from one another.

"So what brings you to my neck of the woods because I know nothing about you so lets play ten questions to figure things out about each other" Darcy began

"Isn't the game called twenty question"

"This is my version of the game so are you in o are you out" Darcy had asked with sarcasm dripping out each word

"Okay where are you from?"

"I was born in Texas Dallas to be exact, what about you?" Darcy asked

"I was born here at the hospital two blocks away from here"

"Okay what do you want to do later in life" Darcy had asked him

This question dumb struck Peter he didn't really know anymore. His life had been planned since his birth and now he didn't know what he wanted to be a hero like his family or go to college and make a living out of him.

"Um I'm not sure anymore but what do you want to do"

"I want to work in helping children for Child Protective Services but that changed so I intern with a scientist named Jane Foster in New Mexico digging up Fossils. And what is favorite superhero?" Darcy asked

"I'm favorite hero is Captain America what about you?"

"No I'm more of a Iron Man type of person even though he is an arrogant self center person we all need a hero like that in the world." Her smile was something unexciting from her.

"What do you remember from the night I saved you?"

"Okay um I was walking home from working Jane was relocated and dragged me along with her and so I live on the other side of my work and me still being in high school I had no car. But when I was walking these guys ganged up on me and you know the rest but I'm thankful you saved me Peter I really am" She almost choked out her answer.

Peter was a hero and a pretty damn good one. While his Parent's only cared about the bigger problems in the city he was able to stop the smaller ones from happening.

"Peter I'll say this you are a hero and a damn well good one, you saved me and I won't forget and I would be surprised if you became a hero like Captain America. You only care about helping people and we need more people in the world." Darcy added on

There was a pregnant silence between the two of them. Darcy was right he was like his dad he cared for so many people and if he wants to do something right with his life he better start with being something he's good at. Being a hero would make him feel something he's been missing and maybe he'd be able to see his aunt and talk with her for the first time.

Fuck you fuck you fuck ve-

Darcy took her phone out of her purse and answers the phone call. She went from annoyed to worry in a flash as if some kind of news on the other line had just taken full effect and made her worried. She didn't say a word at all to the other person at all she just nodded and hung up.

"I'm sorry but I've been called in on my day off lucky me but we will meet again Peter Parker" Her smirk had returned to her face, as she gathered her things up from the table and placing her drink in her free hand.

"Okay I guess this is a goodbye then isn't it Darcy"

"Well I work at OSCORP so you can stop by anytime you want but until then bye Peter" Darcy sadly said while walking out of Starbucks.

This is an interesting say so far might as well go home and do something then. Besides Darcy is right maybe I can be like a Captain America but better helping the little people of New York out with the smaller crimes.

Yes I'm finally back and I'm very sorry for the lack of posting but I hope this drama filled chapter will keep you guys happy for now. But if there is grammar problems I know I'm posting this late and I'm sending it to my Beta tonight after I post this and for my other story I will be posting tomorrow if not then the 26th. I can tell you I'm almost done with chapter 2 for New York Take over. I hope you guys like this style of writing I'm doing but it won't always be like this if you guys don't like it. So I leave you with some questions of the day morning or night… Do you think Darcy should end up with Peter or should he fight for Gwen? And I'm getting closer to Spiderman being reviled it's going to be interesting when it happens though. Should Peter try and talk to Tony and Steve about what's going on in his life or bottle it up? (He won't talk about the spider bite though)
