Artemis's Pov

"Peter why do you keep smiling," I whined slightly watching him laying on my arms a bit.

I could still hear him over all the loud chaos in the lunchroom. Friday's always seemed to be like that as well. Loud, and noisy for no reason.

"I'm just really excited that you'll get to meet more friends of mine." He beamed at me messing with his messy hair a bit.

I cracked a smile, shaking my messy hair out. "I'm sure they will be amazing, just like you are." I praised him watching his entire face go red.

"You gotta stop making me blush Artemis." He whined loudly looking at me. I let a small giggle out shaking my head. "Yeah, that's gonna be really really hard." I chuckled softly.

"You should go hang out with Ned and MJ for a little while," I told him. I watched as his eyes shifted to concern as he watched me closely.

"Are you alright?" Peter questioned loudly with worry, I gave him a small reassuring smile.

"Yeah, just my stomach," I responded watching him tilt his head a little. "Your soulmates right?" He asked again.

I slowly nodded laying my head the table again. Just for one day, I would like for the pain to go away. "Aw please don't cry yeah, it's gonna be alright," Peter reassured me.

He was rubbing my back up and down a little making me relax just a tiny bit. "Thanks, Peter," I mumbled. "Hey, no problem, your one of my best friends now." He told me with cute little giggles leaving him making me smile.

Bubbly and always happy, it was nice to have a friend who was as upbeat as Peter was, cause it helped me control my negative thoughts every once in a while.

"Okay, so do you know where we are?" Peter questioned to me focusing his gaze onto mine. I chewed at my lower lip a bit feeling very outplace in this large building.

The cold leather from my jacket clung to me the small sound of my combat boots echoing around everywhere. "This seems like a government building Peter, I don't even know if I should be here." I stammered out nervously slowly chewing on my fingernail growing anxious.

"Oh no no, don't worry Artemis, I have permission to be here, cause well its a long story, but this is the avengers compound," Peter explained to me flashing me a bright smile.

I looked at him a little in disbelief and chewed at my nails a little harder. "You mean like the superheroes right, like Captain American, Ironman, Spiderman, Hawkeye, you mean like them?" I asked.

Peter let a small nervous chuckle out. "Yeah um about that, I'm Spiderman, and your soulmate marks are of seven of the avengers." He laughed nervously.

I looked at him in so much shock.

"Peter what the hell!" I screamed.

"Please don't be mad at me! I couldn't tell you right away until I knew, wait you know that!" He shouted back at me.

"I know their superhero names," I exclaimed back. I bit my nails way too hard enough to draw blood from them making me hiss and wince, yanking them away from my mouth sighing.

My heart was pounding against my rib cage. "I thought I heard yelling." A voice announced out. Both me and Peter looked to watch a man with some glasses.

He looked to be very smart and dedicated, with light salt and pepper hair in his strands of hair and beard.

"Kid I thought we said not to scare her." He was addressing Peter more than me.

"It's not my fault she freaked out Mr. Stark," Peter explained looking defeated folding his arms.

I shifted a little nervous like "Artemis, this is Tony Stark Or Ironman." Peter stammered out looking to the side.

I focused on him still feeling to shyness pool in my stomach for some reason. "its nice to meet you, Mr. Stark." I stammered out each word. Once he was right in front of me.

"Oh please, Peter already makes me feel old when he calls me that, Tony will do." He joked at me sticking his hand out for me.

I cracked a side smile, and took his hand in mine, slowly shaking it deeply. I felt this strange surge go up to my arm, almost liking a burning fire surge course through my arm.

I quickly pulled my arm back and slipped my arm out of the sleeve of my leather jacket. Watching as the red and yellow mark slowly glowed in the middle a light baby blue.

It was beautiful. All of us were looking at them, me more confused and curious while Tony looked in awe.

"The kid really wasn't lying." He breathed out. I flicked my brown eyes to his, watching the blue fade.

"Wait what?" I asked timidly Tony slowly pointed towards the now okay mark on my arm.

"That's my arc reactor, which means Artemis right?" He asked me looking at him. I slowly nodded giving him the answer he needed.

"That's my soulmate, which means you young lady, are my soul mate." He explained to me.

I felt the breath get knocked out of me almost in full-blown view. I inhaled sharply looking at Peter who was giving me a small soft look. He nodded his head indicating to me he wasn't lying one bit.

"I-my soulmate is you." I stammered out, it sounded more like a question. "Oh no, not just me, even though if it was just me you'd be in love already." He joked softly.

I cracked a light smile looking down at my arm. "Six more then." I answered, "right you are, would you like to meet the rest actually, we've been waiting for seven hours for Peter to bring you here." Tony told me he was sounding very hopeful.

"While you guys are doing that, I am gonna go train." He announced chuckling softly making me freak out.

"Peter don't leave me, I don't know any of them." I stuttered out.

"I promise you, we don't bite okay that's a promise," Tony reassured me. He held out his hand for me.

"I promise, I will be on the lower floor Artemis. I think it will be good for you to meet your soulmates, okay, Mr. Stark only looks scary." Peter told me laughing.

Tony shot Peter an amused look, but I had to trust him. I grabbed Tony's hand and he held it gently leading me upstairs.

"So Peter tells us, your sixteen?"

"Yeah Im a young one."

"Oh lord, your jailbait kid, but it's a soulmate, there's nothing we can do, but learn about you."

"I like the sound of that."
