Peter awoke to Wade shaking him. He was laid on the couch, his head propped up by pillows. "W-Wade?" Peter asks shakily, a hint of fear in his voice. Wade pulled him into a hug, but Peter screamed, clawing his way out of the embrace.
"Don't touch me. Don't touch me." He yelled, over and over again, backing himself into a corner. Wade held up his hands, trying to fight back tears. What did they do to Peter to make him like this. Peter had a panicked expression on his pale face. There was still hints of black on his arms and neck, although they were quickly retreating.
"Peter I'm not going to hurt you. I am going to take you home okay." Wade didn't wait for a response. He took Peter by the arms and held him to his chest to stop the struggling. Wade closed his eyes and pictured Peter's room. Within a few seconds they were standing in the middle of the bedroom.
Steve and Tony were sat hand in hand on Peter's bed. When they saw their son appear they ran over to him with open arms. But Peter screamed, backing up the wall, using his powers to push himself out of reach. Tony instantly burst into tears at the sight. "Peter, its us. We won't hurt you. Please come down." Steve whispered, fighting back his own tears. Peter shook his head vigorously, pointing a shaky hand at Wade.
"That's what he said. But he lied. He LIED." Wade filled with anger at those words. Balling his fists, he turned away and muttered "I would never hurt you Peter" before disappearing into thin air.
That made Peter even more terrified, as he started to scan the room for any signs of the mercenary. "He's not gone. I can sense him." Peter says, as if to himself.

"Peter its just us here. he has gone." Peter glared at Tony, his eyes cold and black. "Get out." He said in a low tone. Tony shook his head, inching closer to his son. "Get. Out." Steve grabbed his husbands arm and dragged him out of the room. As soon as the door closed, Peter started crying.
He stayed glued to the wall, every now and then taking in his surroundings carefully.
I need help. I am losing control. It's like I am trapped in my head, being forced to say things i don't wanna say, do things I don't want to do.
"Leave me alone!" I scream into the darkness.
"You aren't getting rid of me any time soon Peter. We need each other."
"I don't need you. I don't want you."
"Oh Peter, you don't know what you want. You thought you wanted Wade until you found out who he was. Once you see what I can do, what we can do together, you will never doubt me again."
"No, Stop it. I don't need you, I will never need you. Now stay quiet or I will tell my dads about you. They will figure out how to get you out."
"Suit yourself. but I am warning you Peter, if you ignore me I will hurt you in every way possible."
I bang my head against the wall, causing pain to shoot across my skull and down my spine. The voice dies down, as it does I regain control of my body. I shuffle down the wall and unsteadily walk to my bed.
I wrap myself in the sheets, still in my torn up suit. I fall asleep tracing the curving black lines across my arms, hoping that the voice doesn't come back.
And it didn't. For a while.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
