Chapter 4
As they rushed him to the med bay Dr. Banner took the labs off lock-down and let them in, immediately getting to work
"What happened" He asked rushing to Peter's unconscious body
"He got shot while saving me" Clint piped up
"After that he went unconscious and we rushed him here" Natasha finished
"Alright, how are the others" Bruce asked as he hung a blood bag and tore peters suit open where the bullet went in
"SHIT, we forgot about them" Clint said
"They're OK, they have been alerted of the situation and are on their way up" FRIDAY interjected
"Thank god" Bruce said starting to fish around for a bullet in Peter's abdomen, upon pulling it out the rest of the people there barged through the door rushing to the operating table peter was on.
"Is he OK, please tell me he is OK" pepper said worried
"he'll be fine, especially with his super healing" Bruce said as he put the final stitch in, concluding the surgery "he'll be unconscious for a few hours because of the anesthetic but by the time he wakes up he'll be fine, it might leave a scar but with his healing factor i'm not sure" Bruce finished wheeling him into a room, everyone following.
"Hey where is Wanda?" Pepper asked
"Wait no one told her it was over?" Bucky said
"I thought you were going to buck" Sam accused
"OMG nobody cares, just some one go get her" Pepper yelled at the bickering guys
"I'll do it mommy" Morgan said as she left to go down and get Wanda from out side
"Okay, be safe sweetie" Pepper said "Nat will you keep an eye on her" Pepper asked
"yeah of course, MORGAN WAIT FOR AUNT NAT" she yelled as she jogged off
WANDA'S POV
JUST AFTER THE SIEGE STARTED
She stood there struggling to hold the helicopters back, trying to keep them and the people in them from joining the fight when she had seen peter jump out the 9th floor's window and swing down shattering through the ground floor's window, after a few short minutes he had run out the building and started to scale the wall, as he reached the top he jumped into a back-flip but mi flip he webbed onto one of the helicopter and swung up, landing on the glass in the front he had stabbed the pilot and leaped into the next helicopter before the first lost control, landing where the passengers were sitting and the next thing she knew he was jumping out the other side and gliding into the building
"God he is so bad-ass, what changed" she said to herself, slightly turned on. about 10 minute later of just sitting there she sees Morgan running towards her and Natasha close behind her, assuming the worst she put her guard up. Natasha, noticing this, shook her head signaling that there wasn't any danger.
"Hey aunt Wanda, how was your trip" Morgan said as she jumped into her arms, Wanda quickly catching her and giving her a hug.
"It was nice, how was it after i left" she asked, hoping to see if she was OK without directly asking
"Well you left super early so when i woke up you weren't there, then we had breakfast, about 3 hours of movie watching later we started to have lunch and a bunch of lights started flashing and we went down to this supper cool looking room and then peter showed up, oh right, peter is in the med bay for some reason, i'm not sure why i wasn't paying attention"
"WAIT WHAT" she said as Natasha finally caught up
"yeah he saved Barton but ended up taking a bullet, he'll be fine but we realized that no one had came and told you the coast was clear" as Nat answered a wave of relief washed over her face. "hey where did that car come from" Nat asked changing the topic
"Oh its peters, pretty cool right"
"Yeah its awesome" Morgan said with her squeaky voice
"yeah it looks really nice, my question is how did he afford it" Nat said walking around it looking at every detail
"well he told me he had been working on it for a while and the guy that sold it to him didn't know much about what he was doing, so it was really cheap" Wanda said as she got in and started it up "i'm gonna go put it in the garage, ill meet you guys in the med bay" she said, after they agreed Nat picked up Morgan and went inside as Wanda drove into the garage and parked it
PETER'S POV
He woke up to bright lights in a room that had an insane amount of white, he had bandages wrapped around his abdomen and he was wearing nothing but the boxers he had under his suit, as he looked around he went to sit up but found he was covered in wires, remembering what happened he tore off the wires and turned off the machines as he got out of the bed, he looked around to see if there were any of his clothes nearby when he found Wanda, asleep in a chair in the room with some of his clothes next to her, as he went to grab them and get changed as he was siding on the sweat pants Wanda had there for him, he found that she didn't grab him a shirt, not thinking much of it he slid on the socks she grabbed him and went to walk out of the room when she woke up.
"mmmhh, hey where are going" she said groggily
"Well good after noon sleepy head" he joked "hey you wouldn't happened to have forgotten a shirt for me on purpose now would you"
"What noo" she says blushing and clearly staring at his abs
"uh huh" he says "come on, i'm starving lets go get some food" he knew she had a bit of a thing for him, not enough for her to act on it but enough for her to stare at him every now and then, when ever he was in the gym at the compound before he moved out he would occasionally catch her staring, he didn't mind, he liked her too, in fact, the only reason he came back to the compound was because she asked, if it was anyone else but her or pepper he would have said no, as they walked out of the room, peter semi leaning on Wanda from still being sore, they practically ran into banner
"oh, i was just about to check on you" the scientist started "how are you feeling peter"
"A little sore but im OK, im assuming that i have you to thank for patching me up" He responded
"Yes, i would have had Ms. Choi do it but she wasn't here and you weren't exactly in the best state to wait for her arrival"
"yeah i get it, thanks"
"yeah of course" he said turning to walk away
"oh banner wait" he said catching him before he left
"Yeah what is it" He said as he spun around
"You wouldn't know what happened to my suit would you?" he asked
"oh yeah, its in your room, i don't think you'll want to keep it though, i had to cut it off so i could operate on you, its also soaked in blood, but i wasn't going to throw it away because it was yours"
"damn. Thanks though"
"of course" he said walking away again
"alright enough socializing" Wanda said, still half holding peter up "lets get some food"
"Yeah, that sounds good" he said as the made their way to the elevator. when they got in he pressed the button for the second floor where the common room and kitchen were, with a ding of the elevator the door opened they slowly walked out to find nobody in the area, not thinking much about it they walk to the kitchen and Wanda sets him down on a stool, then proceeds to the fridge listing off some options
"We've got left overs from almost every fast food place in the area, uh there's some mac and cheese from the other night, oh and some spaghetti" she rattled of the things in the fridge as peter was lost in memory, He had just gotten to the tower for the internship and saw pepper doing practically the same thing to tony after she found out he hadnt slept or eaten in the past 48 hours, classic tony.
"PETER!!!" Wanda had to yell for him to snap out of it
"hm what huh" he said startled as he jumped into a action ready stance
"i said what do you want to eat, where'd you go"
"no where really, just got lost in thought" he lied
"Alright well im gonna warm up some mac and cheese, do you want anything"
"uh yeah make me some too please"
"yeah no problem" and on that note pepper had walked in with Morgan on her arms, upon seeing peter morgan jumped down and ran up to him and about knocked him out of his seat
"PETER!!!" she yelled "You're awake"
"Sure am" he said as pepper walked over and took a seat across from him.
"How you felling kiddo" she asked
"better than ever" Peter answered
"yeah, thanks for everything you did last week"
"yeah no prob... wait what do you mean last week" he said confused
"you've been asleep a week kid"
"why"
"Bruce says the bullet was laced with some super powerful anesthetic that would knock a normal person out for a month if it didn't kill them first"
"WTF, no one wanted to tell me this" he said looking at Wanda, still making the mac and cheese
"My bad, i thought you knew" she said as she pulled the bowl out of the microwave and set it in front of them and putting 2 forks in it
"yeah, Wanda was there at all times, only ever left to use the bathroom or grab a new book" pepper said, upon hear this he looked over at Wanda who was trying to hide the fact that she was blushing by shoving a bunch if mac and cheese in her mouth.
"i didn't know you put tomatoes in the mac and cheese, oh wait that's just you" he joked to Wanda. after that they got done eating they went and sat down and watched a movie after Morgan begging and begging. once the movie was over peter finally realized that he hadn't seen anyone else all day. "hey pepper, where is everybody"
"uh they got called on a mission in Europe the other day, they said while they were there they were gonna sight see and stuff once the mission was done" she answered
"Alright then" he looks at the clock showing its 8:30 pm "well i have to make a new suit before i leave so guess im gonna start on it tonight"
"why what happened to it" pepper asked
"Banner had to cut if off me for the surgery, not to mention it being soaked in blood" he said as he got up, lifting a sleeping Morgan off his lap and heading towards the elevator. Once he got in and left the floor Pepper turned to Wanda
"so whats up with him, anytime i ask him he says 'Eh, ill make it through it' or some stupid shit like that" she asked
"i don't know, but something inst right, normally you could see so much emotion in his eyes, love, and happiness but now its like there isn't anything behind them, he tries to hide it but he forgets i have telepathy"
"i watched the security footage of the day of the attack, he's bad ass but he took his no killing rule and threw it out the window, not that i think he should have gone out of his way to spare them but..." she trailed off
"i know what you mean, I've been trying to figure out what happened in the 2 months he vanished but i haven't had the chance, i mean, i'm not gonna do it when he is unconscious after saving everyone, but you should have seen his place in New York, there were weapons everywhere, he started to make eggs when i got there and i managed to see he had 3 different guns in his fridge, and that's a quick glimpse, i'm worried about him, he's had a pretty rough life"
"yeah it makes sense, but he knows he has us right"
"that's the thing, he doesn't, when i was trying to convince him to come back for a few he said they all ignored him, he'd get an occasional hey or foods done, maybe Bruce needing help with a project but other than that nobody but me, you and Morgan would have conversations with him"
"yeah i see your point" pepper had said just before the team had got back and walked into the kitchen, all of them still in their mission gear
"he what kind of food do we have" Sam asked Clint and Bucky who were looking through everything
"uh nothing really"
"i guess that means i should get started on dinner for you guys then" pepper said giving a sleeping Morgan to Wanda and going into the kitchen. as she walked away Wanda put Morgan in her bed, she decided to go see what peter was doing in the lab, when she arrived she found peter toying with some holographic design of his suit with Elton john's "I'm Still Standing" playing at the moment, as she walked up he didn't realized that she was there, taking the rare opportunity she has to scare him she sneaks up and grabs his arm and yells
"GOTCHA" upon her scaring him he spins around kicks her legs out from under her, as she fell to the ground he drew a gun and aimed right at her "AHHH" she squealed as she hid behind her arms, peter realized who it was and quickly snapped out of it, tossing the gun into one of the workbench drawers he tries to help her up, while doing so he apologizes profusely
"omg i am so sorry, it was just basic instinct, i didn't mean to hurt you, please tell me you're ok, you are ok right" he frantically spoke not letting her get a word in.
"im fine, im fine peter calm down, im sorry i shouldn't have sacred you" she said "god i have a splitting headache though, will you run up and grab me an ice pack, maybe some pain killers"
"yeah of course, again i am so sorry" he said as he jogged towards the elevator, god dammit, even after pulling a gun in me he is still so cute Wanda had thought, but not even 5 minutes later he returned with bottles of water, painkillers, 2 ice packs and a bunch of candy, after she took the pain killers and held the ice pack to where she hit the floor she finally asked.
"so what are you working on"
"My new suit"
"oh. whats gonna be new about it"
"Well, for starters i'm gonna make the material more protective, i'm gonna add more room for me to store thing"
"things like what" she asked, cutting him off
"Anything really, more web fluid, more ammo, snacks, what ever i need it for really"
"well how are you gonna do that"
"well i was thinking about using nano tech, i still have the iron spider suit Mr. Stark gave me but i don't use it unless i need a suit instantly, so i figured upgrade that, add more nanites to the housing unit allowing me to have more protection, or repair it on the fly more, and if i can design it right ill be able to have it make pockets when i need them" he said typing at the keyboard and ending it with a flourished press of enter and turned to look at Wanda "But unlike Mr. Stark, i recognize that its 12:30 and im going to go to bed" he said as he got up and reached a hand to Wanda "Walk you back to your room?" he asked with a smile. She took his hand and he pulled her out of the seat, still dizzy and a little nauseous she leaned on him as the walked back to her room. when they reached it they parted ways with a smile. peter went into his room and Wanda walked into hers. upon entering his room he saw his torn and bloodied suit sitting there on the bed "oh.. right" he said as he tossed it to the floor and flopped onto the bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
