Greatest Change
As everyone began to gather in the common’s floor some bringing their own food and drinks for dinner. Ned and MJ couldn’t help but be starstruck by all of the Avengers in one place. Peter introduced them to everyone they haven’t met before.
“Is that really Doctor Bruce Banner?” Ned asked, drooling a little.
“Yeah, man. He’s super cool.” Peter said with a grin. “He even let me look at his notes and help in the lab.”
“Dude! No way!”
“Peter, could you please get some plates?” Pepper asked.
The boy stood up. “Sure, mom.”
“Thank you.”
As Peter walked to the kitchen his phone began to ring. “That was fast.” He said answering his phone. “Hey, Mystic.”
“Hey, Spidey.” The mage answered. “I’ll be there in a bit.”
“Okay, just take your time. We have a lot of food.”
“Oh good. I’m starving.”
“Yeah, everyone showed up and brought all kinds of food.” Peter said grabbing a hand full of plates.
“I’m sure you will enjoy that, Mr. Bottomless pit.” The mage laughed.
Peter handed the plates to his mom and sat back down. “Hey, at lest it’s food and not buckets of ice-cream.”
“True, I do love me some good ice-cream.” Mystic laughed.
“So how long before you get here?”
“Hmm, that depends.”
“Depends? Depends on what?”
“It depends, on what you are wearing?”
Peter’s face became hot. “W-what do you want me to have on?”
“I was thinking,” the mage began. “No short or pants. Just you in your undergarments spread out on the bed.” The teen’s face became bright red. “Perhaps some tight boxers to show off your backside.” Peter’s palms hand began to sweat. “Then I crawl on top of you and kiss down your chest tell I reach your boxers. Then loop my fingers inside them and pull-”
“Peter!” May had called him, pulling him out of whatever thoughts he was having. “Are you okay?”
The teen cleared his throat and took a sip of his drink. “Y-Yeah, I’m good.”
“Are you sure, sweetie? You’re sweating,” May placed her hand on the teen’s forehead. “And you feel warm. Are you sure you’re not sick?"
“No, no. I’m good aunt May, really.” The teen took a deep breath to slow down his racing heart.
May eyed the teen for a bit. “Okay, if you’re sure?”
“Yeah, I was on the phone with Mystic. He said; he’ll be here soon.”
“Okay. Then I’ll make a plate for him... Or for her?” The woman shook her head and began to make a plate.
Peter looked at his phone and saw the call had ended. ‘That was close.’ As he looked around the table he saw everyone busy. ‘I need some air.’ He stood up and walk to the balcony door. Outside he looked up and took a deep breath to relax.
“Needed air already?” Someone asked from above.
Peter chuckled and turned to face Mystic flying above him. “Did you have to do that? I was about to die from embarrassment.”
The mage chuckled as he landed. “My hero, killed by dirty talk.” He said waving his hand over his face, making his mask disappear and changing into Rose. “What would people say?” She grinned.
“I hate you.” The boy said blushing.
“I don’t need truth seeing eyes to know that is a lie.” She wrapped her arms around his neck. “Tell me, did I get a rise from your little friend?” She asked kissing his neck.
“If you hug me tighter, you’ll find out.” The boy said, kissing the girls neck.
“Oh, really?” She pulled the boy closer and tighter till she felt something hard. “Oh, my.” She gasped. “Your not so little after all.” Peter blush darkened.
“Are you two losers coming in, or not?” MJ said at the door. “Me and Ned have some questions for you.” She pointed to the mage. “So, get in here.”
“Okay, okay. We’re coming.” Rose said, lacing her fingers with her boyfriend. The boy just smiled and followed her back inside.
“Rose. Good to see you back safe.” May said, placing a plate, stacked with all kinds of food, in front of the girl. “I hope you don’t mind, I made you a plate.”
“Not at all. Thank you.” Rose said taking a seat and looking at all the different foods. “This looks great.”
“Well everyone brought their own food and we kind of mixed them around.” Peter said, sitting next to the girl.
Both were sitting on the floor with with there plates on the coffee table. Ned and MJ across from them looking at the girl. “Feel free to ask anything you like.” Rose said, starting to eat her food.
“You took on the Avengers?” Ned said, looking at the girl.
“Yes,” The blond answered.
“Awesome!” Ned smiled.
Rose smiled back. “Indeed.”
MJ rolled her eyes. “Okay, for real. What all can you do?”
The blond thought for a moment. “I can fly, teleport, manipulate the elements.” She began. “I have healing potions, my sword is possessed by a dragon’s soul. I use a spell that makes me see people’s auras. My leg bags are pocket dimensions. I can read peoples minds, but I don’t like doing it without permission. I have a A.I that is connected to my phone and a earpiece.” Both of her friends stared at her, eyes wide and mouths hanging open, as she listed everything. “Oh, and I have a gate that I can open to go to faraway places.”
The two looked at the girl in shock and aw. “You’re joking, right?” Ned asked.
“No.” Rose said smiling.
“I can’t believe this.” MJ said rubbing her temples. “How is this my life?”
“Is it chance or is it fate,” The mage began. “Or is it simply dumb luck. I can never decide.”
Peter chuckled. “I’ll say, all of the above.” He stated, making Rose laugh.
“You took down the Accords!” Ned stated. “How?”
“Oh, that was easy.” The girl said.
Someone chuckled in the background, “Easy, she said,” The four teens turned to the voice. “Tell me how it was easy.” Bucky asked with a smile.
“It was simply because I used the Avengers popularity and the people of New York to fight.” Said Rose.
“Okay. But how?”
Rose took a deep breath. “After the attack on New York, the would has had a eye on the city. After your return, New York has had a eye on you. I just needed them to see you in a different light.” She stated. “First, I made you focus on me. I antagonize you and taunted you, to make you come after me. To make you want to come after me and try to take me down. As I was the biggest threat in the way for the Accords, I knew you would. So I made sure everyone would see what the Accords were truly about.”
“That night at the church was planed?” Said Nat. “You filmed the fight for you could show the world?”
“Yes,” The girl nodded. “I knew you would use one of those collar on me. And as you’ve seen it didn’t go well.” She rubbed at her neck. “So I made sure that I would have a way out,” She looked to her boyfriend. “I had Memory call Spider-man to help bail me out.”
“But that was part of your plan.” Steve said, taking a seat at the bar. “You wanted Peter to see that, so he would see the Accords were no good.”
“Yes,” Rose stated. “I wanted him to see what the Accords made you do.” She sighed. “After that, the next step was showing the world what the Accords truly meant.”
“That night you showed up. You wanted us to fight you.” Sam said.
“Yes. I had to do it the next night or people would start to fight over whether or not the Accords were a good thing or not. So even though I was not healed completely, I knew I would have to fight you as soon as I could.” The girl said taking a breath. “I would have to give you my all and use every trick I knew to take you on.”
“But why?” Wanda asked. “Why not wait until you were in better condition?”
“My heath made no difference to my plan.” The teen stated as if she was talking about the weather. “If anything it help it.”
“Helped it?!” Said Peter, loudly. “You could have died!”
“That was her plan.” Vision stated and looked the girl. “You were planning to die.”
“What?!” Peter yelled. “No, she wasn’t! Tell them, Rose!” He turned to the girl. Rose stayed silent and stared at the floor. “Rose? Tell them that wasn’t your plan.”
Rose took a deep breath and said. “Sometimes the greatest change require the greatest of sacrifice.”
