It had been two weeks since Tony arrested you. And Ned had barely seen Peter since. The only times he saw him were in school, and even then he barely saw his friend. He would try to talk to Peter, but he didn't want to talk. Michelle was starting to get worried too. Peter had stopped coming to decathlon meetings. He was flaking on assignments and tests. He was slowly deteriorating, and his two closest friends knew they had to do something to help him. Aunt May cooked him all his favorite foods. He had told her that she moved away and May had been trying to cheer up her nephew in any way she could. Even Tony tried his best to cheer him up. But it wasn't working for obvious reasons.
"Hey kid, I'll let you spend a week in my lab building whatever you want!" Tony says in a coaxing tone.
He was visiting Peter in his apartment while Aunt May was out. He felt bad that he had to arrest his protege's girlfriend so he wanted to try to make it up to Peter somehow. Peter just kept frowning at him. Tony sighed.
"Come on kid there's got to be something I can do to make you happy." Tony says. "I could get you a new phone. I could give you one like mine that's really cool with a holo-screen and everything and-"
"Tony none of your technology could ever make me forgive you for taking away the girl I love!" Peter yells at him.
"You love her?" Tony asks. In that moment, he realized just how much Peter cared about her.
"More than I love myself." Peter admits. "And she wasn't just my girlfriend Tony she was my partner!" He chokes out and starts to cry. "We fought crime together so well and I got so used to having her around that I don't think I can fight without her! Spider-Man is nothing without Dragonfly."
"Peter you can't rely on someone so heavily like that." Tony says. "That's dangerous, if you lose them or they let you down somehow then the world loses not only one but two heroes. It's already been all over the news about how the dynamic bug hero duo has disappeared and people are worried that crime will rise in NYC! You can't just stop being Spider-Man because you've lost your partner. You're letting people down and they've lost their hero."
"You're right Mr. Stark." Peter says. "Because you've let me down, and now I've lost a hero." He storms over to his room and slams the door. Tony sighs and shows himself out.
Peter sat at his desk and watched some old videos on his camera to try to get his mind off of you. Then his heart broke again when one played of the two of you cleaning up Sweet Pete's that afternoon. You, Michelle, Ned and him had a huge water fight in the back and you and Peter were being so playful and cute with each other. He teared up as he watched himself pick you up over his shoulder and throw you down in the trough in the back of the building and laughed a bit as you pulled him in with you. The two of you holding onto each other and soaking in the trough, like nothing else in the world mattered.
Then he saw another video. It was of you making dinner with Aunt May that night that Tony came and warned him that he might have to arrest you. You fed him the sauce you made and he laughed a bit and teared up when he saw how disgusted his face looked and how concerned you were for him as he spit it out in the sink and you rubbed his back and apologized. God you were an awful cook. But he would gladly eat anything you gave him any day if he could only hold you in his arms again.
He found another video that he never saw before. He saw you and Michelle in the bakery on the opening night cleaning up, and Flash walked in.
"Hey there cutie." He says to you and both you and Michelle roll your eyes.
"What do you want Flash?" You ask in annoyed tone.
"I want a date with you baby?" Flash asks and pins you in between the counter and himself.
Your jaw clenched and you glared at him and Michelle could tell that you were about to go all Dragonfly on his ass. But Michelle knew that would give you away so she gave you a knowing look from across the room and you gave Flash a fake smile.
"You know what, how about I sing you a song instead?" You say and walk over to Michelle who had just turned on a song on her phone.
"Oo just for me?" Flash says and looks all excited.
"Yep. Especially for you." You say and both you and Michelle smile fakely at him and everyone in the bakery turns to the two of you.
You and Michelle both grab two big stirring spoons from a decorative vase on the counter and you both sing the song Take a Hint by Victoria Justice and Elizabeth Gillies to him. Flash looks super annoyed and everyone in the store starts calling him out and cheering for you and Michelle so he leaves. Peter was laughing hysterically, and for a moment he forgot how sad he was that you were gone. You and Michelle hug each other and laugh afterwards.
When did this happen!? Peter wondered. That might have happened when he and Ned left to get pizza for everyone. He thought about how much Michelle must be missing you right now. The two of you were so close, practically sisters. She was to you what Ned was to him.
Another video came up of a flour fight that you all had in the kitchen some time after you and Peter started dating. It started when Ned knocked over a bag of flour and some of it got on Michelle. She threw some on Ned and then Ned threw some at her and then an all out war broke out. You came running downstairs and got flour thrown in your face by Ned.
"Whoops." He says and looks nervous.
You scooped up flour and threw it at Ned. Soon you and Michelle were covering him in flour and he was screaming for Peter to come and help him. Peter came running down and saw what was going on and he started throwing flour at you and Michelle to help Ned.
"Why are you guys throwing flour at each other?" Peter asks as you pelt him with the powdery substance.
"Because Ned threw some at me." You say and pout.
Peter turns to Ned and throws some flour in his face.
"Dude I thought you were on my side!" Ned complains.
"I was, but now I have to defend my woman's honor!" Peter says in a mock chivalrous tone and all three of you pelt Ned with flour.
The video ended with you and Peter kissing as Michelle and Ned threw flour at the two of you and shouted stuff along the lines of "You two are disgusting!" "Yeah get a room you horny teens!" The scene cut to another video Peter had filmed of you in class, looking concentrated working on a problem.
"And here we see one of the most gorgeous and exquisite creatures to be found in the wild, working tirelessly studying for a test that she will surely-" Peter narrates.
"Dude are you filming me studying again!?" You exclaim and get up and start charging at him.
"But she is just as much terrifying as she is beautiful!" Peter exclaims and the camera shakes as he runs down the hall with it in his hand. "She is the strongest of her breed-" Peter squealed as he suddenly got tackled to the ground.
You took the camera off the ground and pointed it towards your face. "And we are known for devouring our mates when they are particularly annoying!" You say and then put the camera down and kissing sounds and laughter are heard in the background.
The next video was of the two of you after a mission. Peter just noticed that his phone had been on and playing spotify this whole time. A new song came on that made Peter start to tear up. I Found by Amber run.
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
"Whoo! That was some hard battle, but I think we got all of them. Nothing can stop me while I've got the strongest and most beautiful girl in the world at my side." Peter says into the camera then wraps an arm around your waist and tilts his head as he looks at you through the mask.
And I've moved further than I thought I could
But I miss you more than I thought I would
"Aww Spider-boy you're too sweet." You say and nuzzle your face against his mask.
"Y/N it's Spider-Man!" He whines. "Don't call me a boy on the camera..." He was pouting under the mask.
"Men don't whine Spidey." You remind him and take his mask off and your own. "But boys don't get action like this either." You say seductively and push the camera away.
Kissing noises can be heard in the background and the occasional muffled groan and gasp for air as the two of you made out. You moved the camera back to see a dazed looking Peter looking at you adoringly.
Oh I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind
"I love you so much Y/N." Peter says honestly and you smile and cup his cheek.
"I love you too Peter." You say and then the two of you kiss again.
Tears streamed down Peter's cheeks as he watched other, shorter videos of you tugging him along somewhere and laughing and Michelle and Ned filming something while you and Peter cuddled or kissed in the background.
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me, talk some sense to me
He started to cry and he leant his forehead on his desk and sobbed softly into his arms. He picks his head up when he looks up to find Michelle and Ned there.
"Peter?" Michelle asks. "Are you okay?"
"I miss her so much." Peter says. "She was the best thing that's ever happened to me." He starts crying again and Ned passes him a tissue box. "I haven't been fighting crime. Now whenever I put that suit on it's to go looking for her."
"Do you have any leads?" Ned asks. Peter shakes his head.
"Well I've got one right here." Michelle says and places her hands on Ned's shoulders and smiles at Peter.
"I appreciate the effort MJ but I don't think puns are going to help me find Y/N." Peter says and blows his nose into a tissue. "I promised her I'd find her. And I'm not going to stop looking until she's in my arms again." Peter says sternly and gets up to go put his suit on to continue another afternoon of searching.
"I might have some clue of where she is." Michelle says and Peter turns to her a desperate look in his eyes.
You laid down on the cot in your cell sobbing quietly and clutching onto the locket that Peter had given you. You were still in your armor, but your weapons had all been taken away so you couldn't break out. Tony had been kind enough to let you keep the necklace Peter gave you. And you would kiss it every night before you went to sleep and imagined it being Peter that you were kissing. You missed him so much, his cute little face, his adorable awkwardness, his smile, his lips. You heard a song playing softly from somewhere on the floor above you.
And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take
Oh I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me, talk some sense to me
Suddenly you heard the door to your cell open and you were face to face with Tony.
"What do you want bastard?" You sneer at him and Tony's jaw clenched.
"You know you'd think you'd be a bit nicer to me considering I'm the one deciding the fate of your freedom right now." Tony sighs.
"You don't decide anything for me." You tell him coldly. "No one does."
"Not even Parker?" Tony asks.
"Peter is my partner. We're equals. He may give me suggestions, but he certainly never forces me to follow any rules unlike some people." You say, referring to the man standing right in front of you.
"Okay well I'm not allowed to let you go until you've told me what you and the war criminal are plotting." Tony says and sits down on the cot.
"We weren't plotting anything!" You tell Tony. "You just went and assumed that I was because I was talking to him and then took me away from my boyfriend!"
"Believe me kid I want to believe you. Peter's really upset and-" Tony starts but you cut him off.
"Is he okay?" You ask in a soft tone, looking concerned.
"He's been...A bit off. He's not happy that you're gone." Tony says.
"Has he been crying?" You ask and a few tears slide down your cheeks.
"Yeah probably." Tony says. "But he's been very rebellious against me lately."
"Gee I wonder why." You say sarcastically and Tony rolls his eyes and stands up to leave.
"Look. Until we can clear your name your going to have to stay here. That's just the way it is." Tony says.
"I'm probably going to find a way to break out." You threaten.
"No you won't." Tony says.
"Then Peter's going to come rescue me." You say and place your hands on your hips.
"No he's not." Tony says as he leaves.
You sit back down on the cot and open up the locket, and look at the spider emblem and dragon one side by side. You lay back and try to dream about a time when the dragonfly and spider would meet each other again.
Tony came upstairs and looked a bit surprised to see Peter there.
"Peter?" Tony asks and walks up to him. "What are you doing here at the facility?"
"I thought about what you said." Peter says. "You're right. The world needs Spider-Man. Even if Dragonfly isn't there to fight at his side, someone has to step up to protect New York."
"Atta boy." Tony says and pats Peter's shoulder. "So why did you come here?"
"I came up with a new idea for my suit and I wanted to work on it here in your lab if that's okay?" Peter asks.
"Sure that's fine. Anything for you kid." Tony says and walks Peter over to the lab.
He left Peter alone in there and then Peter took out a small spider drone from his pocket and set it down on the ground and let it scurry over to an electrical outlet and crawl inside. All of a sudden your cell went dark. You sat up, looked outside and noticed that everywhere else was dark too. Alarms started going off and you started to get worried. You looked around and felt around on the walls to try to find some sort of exit from your cell. Suddenly you heard a familiar thwipping noise and your heart soared with happiness.
"Excuse me miss?" A familiar voice asks from your see through glass door. "I believe you're my damsel in distress, and now I'm here to rescue you." You turn and find Spider-Man, using his spider drone to cut a hole in the door for you to escape.
You burst through the door halfway before he's finished cutting the hole and throw yourself onto Peter and he catches you and spins you around, holding you tightly. You quickly rip his mask off and kiss him hard. He kissed back and the two of you shared the most passionate kiss you've ever had.
"You came to save me!" You say and cup his cheek gently.
"Of course I did. I love you Y/N." Peter says and looks deep into your eyes. "I couldn't stand the thought of you being locked away somewhere."
"I'm just happy to be back in your arms again." You tell him and pepper his face with kisses. "Promise you'll never let go of me again!"
"I promise princess. I'm never letting you go again." He promises and rests his head against yours.
"Hey Spider-nerd!" Michelle yells at him through an earpiece and Peter winces in pain because it's loud so you can hear as well. "You two can have your little lovers reunion later you've got guards and Tony's suits coming at you!"
"I don't have my weapons! I'm not sure how well I'll be able to fight-" You panic and then Peter pulls out your sword and mask from behind him.
"I believe these belong to you." Peter says and winks at you. The Iron Man suits flew down to the end of the hall and aimed to fire at you and Peter.
"Shall we m'lady?" Peter asks and puts his mask back on.
You smile at him and put yours on as well.
"Let's do it Spidey!" You say enthusiastically and the two of you charge towards the guards and suits coming at you both, ready to fight your way out of the facility.
A/N: The next part will come soon! Not sure when, but another part will be coming relatively soon!
