Peters POV

I wander through the long corridors of the tower looking around hoping that somewhere in this large ass building someone will at least exist. I continue to walk down the hall wondering why it is so quiet and why it is so fricken empty.

“Do people here have lives?” I wonder as I turn the 59th corner in the last 30 minutes. I continue to walk feeling like I am the only person here or like a zombie apocalypse is upon us.

I turn more corners counting them as I go but losing count of how many I have turned when I run into someone my last thought as we both fall is “a person” We land in a heap on the floor and I laugh helping them up and to my surprise its Bucky.

“Oh Hey,” I say a little nervous. He smiles at me and dusts his pants off. “Hey thanks for the run in,” He says laughing and I laugh with him. “To be honest you are the first person I have seen in a while” I laugh, and he looks at me shocked.

“Really?” I nod chuckling and we continue down the hall for a little while in silence. I can tell something is on Bucky's mind, but I chose to not pry and wait for him to say it. We walk for a while shocked that we haven't come by anyone else at all.

As we walk, we sometimes point things out like how that wall looks familiar or that ceiling looks cool. We have been walking for an hour now. We turn a corner again and I hit someone and we both fall to the ground.

“Ow,” I look up to see Tessa getting up off the ground and I blush hard but recover “Oh hey Tessa sorry for bumping into you” she shrugs and helps me get up. “It's all good” She laughs and then notices Bucky “Oh hey” He waves, and we all stare at each other in silence unsure of what to say next.

“So….” Tessa stares at us trying to get an idea of what to do next. Bucky shrugs and walks away he makes it around the corner, and we stand there in silence. Moments later Bucky's head peaks around the corner. “You guys coming or what?”
We laugh and follow her through the halls all over again at some point forgetting where we were. We continue to walk for another hour when Bucky turns to the both of us.

“its official we are lost.” He says laughing. Tessa shakes her head and points to a sign reading “Cafe”, and we laugh “Tess we were lost and the thing on your mind was food?” Bucky says shaking his head but his eyes twinkling with amusement.

She shrugs and enters grabbing food and sitting down. We follow suit but by the time we sit beside her she has already finished her meal. We laugh and she shrugs again reaching into a bag neither of us had noticed and pulls out a book. The book had a black threadbare cover that was falling apart and words that were faded and hard to see.

We watch her for a bit and eat in silence not sure of what to say. After a few minutes we are all done eating we get up and leave.

Time skip

(A/N: I do not know when I will post this because I am so busy, and I feel bad so I am going hurry and it's funny that I’m saying this now since I can only see this RN XD)

Tessa’s POV

Tessa’s Room

We found our way back to the main room a while ago, so I took a nap when I was woken up by a voice coming from inside my room.

“Good day Mrs. Virtue you have been requested to go to the gym by Mr. Fury.” I look around for the voice confused “Um Who are you?” I ask looking around. “I am F.R.I.D.A.Y. Mr. Stark’s AI.” I nod and get up grabbing my work out clothes and heading to the washroom taking a quick look in the mirror to insure my eye color was normal. Seeing it was I made my way to the gym without getting lost.

I enter the gym and notice that not only is Fury there, but Peter and Wanda are. I wave hello and they say hi back then I turn my attention to Fury. “You wanted to see me sir?” I ask looking at Wanda and Peter as they whisper.

“Yes, I did I heard you and Peter fought?” I nod in confirmation and he nods. “Where did you learn to fight so well?” He asks looking at me. “Just a few classes” I lie shrugging trying to make it believable, but Fury shakes his head.

“You don’t learn to fight like that from classes” I look shocked that he noticed, and he sighs shaking his head. “Fine don’t tell me” He says “But I’ll find out at some point” with that he walks back over to the elevator and leaves Peter, Wanda and I alone. “So….” Peter says awkwardly. Wanda and I laugh at his awkwardness causing him to blush. We all move over to the bench and sit down. “I don’t know what to do now” I said and they both agreed with me. “Want to fight?” Wanda asks shyly and I snort “You can fight?”

She shakes her head “I meant with my powers” I Relent and slowly rise and reach out to help Wanda up and she takes my hand. We walk over to the middle of the room and I take my stance and watch her closely. Peter is frozen to his seat confused about what just happened.

Wanda advances first and I watch her as she twists her hands making red dance across the space between us. She grabs a bench with the magic and throws it at me which I easily doge but she keeps doing it so I climb the bench and jump at her but she was ready using her magic she flung herself up to fly and I smile slightly as I move closer to her. She points her hands at me trying to contain me with her magic, but I move quickly. She moves closer to me trying to throw more things at me or contain me, but I have watched long enough. I advanced fast jumping up and using the last bench to jump from and kick her enough, so she falls. She uses her magic to cushion her fall and she rolls standing up. We face each other and stare at each other for a bit.

“Are you having fun?” I smirk and she smiles at me moving forward a bit. She pushes her hands out and a wall of red slams into, but I push forward. She starts looking tired and she pushes harder than before making me almost fall over but I keep going forward. At the point of being to close she slams the wall into me, and I go flying into the wall with a thud and an Ow.

Now I am annoyed. I push my self up and turn towards Wanda who is moving closer to me her hands glowing red. She throws more things but I easily doge them. We continue like this me getting angrier as she hits me with objects. Out of no where a bench smacks me in the face, and I go down hard. I am now pissed off. Without thinking I move my hands quickly and blue threads that glow brighter as I get more annoyed. Wanda’s face fills with shock as I throw them at her, and she goes flying across the room with a thud. She remains on the ground but rolls over to look at me, but I advance more. Red clouds my vision and I throw the threads at her and she flinches. I smile through my rage and whisper one word.

“Ice” and she is engulfed in ice as it tightens around her. Rage clouds my vision and I take a step forward when a sudden voice shouts “TESSA” and the ice shatters and my vision clears. I stumble back as Peter rushes over to Wanda as he helps her get up, she flinches and almost falls back over. I cover my mouth tears slowly falling down my face. Wanda looks over at me and tries to hide her pain.

“It’s fine Tessa I am okay” She says wincing with her words, and I turn and run to my room my thoughts running a mile a minute.

What If I had gotten the ice all the way around her?? What if Peter didn’t stop me in time?? I could have killed her…. She could have died. I run faster and get to my room running inside and sitting in the corner of my room and whisper the same words that almost killed Wanda “Ice…”. The ice covers my body in a cold cocoon. I didn’t mean to hurt her I think but you did but it wasn’t on purpose What if it was…. I try to shake the thoughts away, but they just keep coming.

Peter’s POV

I watch as Tessa runs from the room and Wanda tries to go after her but falls over and I catch her. “Are you okay?” I ask and Wanda nods “She just surprised me…. Like a lot” I nod in agreement and we stand there trying to shake our shock so we can go after her. “She didn’t mean to hurt you I don’t think” I say trying to assure myself more than her. “I am aware that she didn’t mean to. She held back quite a bit to be honest so it’s evident that she didn’t mean to. I guess I just angered her to much.” Wanda suggests.

I nod and check her over again to make sure she is okay. “Do we go after her?” I ask and Wanda nods. She turns to grab her stuff and Tessa’s while I grab mine. “Hey F.R.I.D.A.Y. Where is Tessa right now?” It takes a moment for F.R.I.D.A.Y. to answer which worries us but after a bit we get an answer. “Miss.Virtue is in her room right now, but I am detecting low temperatures coming from her room.” We exchange a look and thank F.R.I.D.A.Y. As we run to Tessa’s room full speed.

When we are a few feet away from the room we can feel the cold temperature as well as see our breaths. It gets worse as we get closer. Our teeth are chattering now as we are staring at the door to her room. Wanda reaches for the door knob and the moment she touches it she yanks her hand back with a yelp. I jump back looking at Wanda’s hand expecting something to show but its perfectly fine.

“Are you okay?” I ask confused to why she yelped in the first place. She bites her lip and rubs her hand before she answers “The door knob is freezing and I think there is frost on it.” She points to the frost and I look at it intently. I grab my sweater from my bag and use it to open the door. We walk in slowly and I hear Wanda gasp loudly I turn to ask her what’s wrong when the words die on my tongue.

A ball of ice is formed in the far corner of the room and we can sort of make out a figure inside of it. “Tessa?” Wanda whispers as she approaches the ice and places a hand on it. The figure inside flinches and the ball of ice grows as we hear a bit of noise from the inside of the ball. We move back again, and each change a look. “Hey F.R.I.D.A.Y. Can you turn the heat up to melt the ice please?” we wait a bit till the bot answers. “Of course, Miss.” The heat turns up rather fast and we start to get warmer.

The ball of ice finally melts and an unconscious Tessa falls out. We rush over to touch her but she is freezing cold.

A/n: Cliffhanger of sorts??
