I walked home with an area of despair surrounding me. I just lost my suit, Mr. Stark doesn't trust me anymore, and on top of that Peter keeps looking at me hoping we can talk.

I sighed and stopped walking and he stopped too. Let's just get this over with.

"Peter I think we should-"

"Y/n I'm so sor-"

We both paused, having to talk at the same time. He looked even sadder once he realized what I was about to say.

"Wait what?"

You looked down, avoiding his hurt gaze.

"I... think we should break up.."

He didn't say anything for a while and we just stood there in silence. My body felt waves of sadness after he looked away. When he looked back, he took a small step closer.

"I-I didn't mean to cause problems... It's just I-I've liked Liz for a while now an-and-"

"Peter I don't need to know that!... Look, I don't really care whether you like her, or me, or both of us. But... It's just the fact that you feel this conflict while we're together... It feels like I have this competition with Liz and I don't like that feeling. So if you're having a problem picking then pick her because I want out of this love triangle."

He grabbed my hand and I looked into his eyes. He put his other hand over mine and tried to keep eye contact.

"Y/n... I still love you. I feel like a terrible person and liking Liz isn't fair to you. I-I'm sorry an-and I'll promise I will only love you."

He looked at me with hopeful but guilty eyes. I gently pulled my hand from his and took a step back.

"But how do you keep a promise you just broke?"

He looked at you, his mouth ajar.

"Peter, you still love Liz, regardless of what you say. You've loved her for a while now and... I'm fine with that. So how about I do this for you both... I want to break up."

"I-..."

He was speechless. He was pleading for me not to go with his eyes but I wouldn't change my mind. I smiled weakly and began to back away from him.

"I wish you nothing but happiness, Peter."

I walked away from him in the direction of my apartment. He didn't follow me this time.

Once I opened my apartment door, I felt a ton of weight slam on top of me, almost squeezing out a tear. I resisted the tears and held my breath.

Once I was sure I wouldn't cry, I stood up straight and walked to my room

Just as I was about to touch the doorknob, I sensed someone sitting on my bed. Ready to blast the person with ice, I swiftly opened the door to see a person in a suit. A person I hoped I wouldn't have seen ever again.

He held up his hands but smirked with obvious malice. He briefly looked at my hand which was pouring out a cold mist.

"Well this isn't the welcome I was hoping for. You gotta moment, Y/n-"

"Out! Now!"

"But I've only just seen you. You wouldn't want to disappoint your father, now would you?"

I held up my hand, aiming it at his face.

"Now wait a moment-"

"I said. Get. Out."

"Y/n!.. Look I'm not here to argue or beg for useless apologies. I'm here for you. Well you and your powers."

I shot out a large ice crystal at him and he ducked, making the shard go into the wall. He looked up at me angrily.

"That was a warning. Now get out."

He stood up, ready to let his poisonous words spew but he sighed and tugged on his suit jacket while clearing his throat.

"Look, boy. You will pipe down and you will listen."

I was about to say something but he held up his hand and sighed again.

"I want you to come back to the agency and work in my militia."

"Absolutely not."

"Now listen, my offers are-"

"No! I've heard enough out of your fucking mouth! I want no part of your damned army and I sure as hell don't want to hear your fucking offers! Now get the fuck out before I blast you with fucking Antarctica!"

He growled and stomped towards me. As he went to grab my shirt, I kneed him in the stomach and he hunched over in pain. I then grabbed the back of his suit and dragged him to the front door. Once it was open I threw him out. Literally.

He stood up and glared at me. He tugged his suit again and breathed out heavily.

"Fine. But I'll be back for you. I can guarantee you that."

He smirked and walked out of the building. I slammed the door shut and slid down it. I put my head on my knees and began to sob. Not even bothering to hold back.
