《The hidden warrior》Chapter 22

Advertisement

I was coming back from my daily walk. Usually i would swing. But for the past couple of months that Emma's been gone I haven't felt like it. I now only swing for missions. I mean all in all life has been ok. Me and May spend quality time together every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday no matter what. Tony and pepper also treat me as their own, and so i spend my other free time with hem and the avengers. My friends are good, although since Emma's gone my life doesn't feel right. We used to be best friends, until i started hanging out with Ned and MJ. But i managed to get the biggest crush on her. I felt as thought i should tell her, yet in that same time i became spider man, and i didn't want to endanger her. So i moved on physically, not mentally. No one know that i like Emma, or how much i regret not staying friends with her. And so her disappearance has hit me very hard. As well as the avengers searching for her, i try myself each night. Recently we have made no progress.

We also have a new addition to us. Emma's mom. Sure she's ok, but i kept replaying all of my memories of Emma and how she never talked about her mom. I also got a reaction from my spider tingle when i see her and I don't know why. I mean sure I've seen people upset, yet it feels like there's more emotions going through her. I wonder what happened between them.

I'm currently 2 minutes from the tower listening to 'Cigarette Daydreams' by Cage the Elephant. Music has become my therapy. Everyone is in a bad mood. I cant deal with all of the emotions. It's too much. I know aunt Nat feels the worst. I know all about what happened and I tried my best to comfort her yet i can tell she still feels very bad. We just need Emma home. I need Emma home.

As i walk through the tower i decide to head to the roof. Mr Stark gave me access when he found me wanting to clear my head. Fortunately for me on the way there i get to pass the tech rooms and see the amazing stuff the workers are creating, but what i saw next shocked me

It was a guy around my age on the floor looking as if he was dying. I took my headphones out to see what was properly happening. It seemed this goy was looking for the coffee machine. God he looked demented. I didn't know coffee did that to people. I wouldn't know; i don't like to drink coffee as it heightens my sense A LOT. I was bout to laugh it off when i saw her. And so I tentatively asked "Emma?" Hoping she knows me. I had so many questions. All i heard back was my name and that was enough to push me over the edge. I was ready to tackle her to the ground and just hold her but i know i would be overstepping my boundaries.

"What...what are you doing here? How are you here? Why are you here? Why didn't you tell everyone you're back?"

I stayed silent. Those words hurt more than she could ever know. But that didn't matter right now. Right now all i needed to do was get her safe with all of us in order to help her wherever she's been. She looked worse for wear. She was very pale, and she seemed to be walking with a bit of a limp. There's also something not rough with her mind. She seems to think her mom is gone, i think as in dead. But that's not true, as i know her mom is here. And i know she's real because Mr Stark takes a DNA from anyone who personally comes onto the Avengers floor, the first time they visit. Sure he's confident in Jarvis for the rest of the tower, but due to his PTSD he takes precautions like this very seriously, in which i don't blame him. He's so lucky to have Pepper. The last thing she remembers about me is that i left her. I mean sure its not a very forgettable memory but that happened almost half a year ago. Why would she not bring something more recent up. We make small talk in classes. We last had a disagreement in English on how i didn't think it was enjoyable to watch Fate: the wink Saga. I much prefer Star Wars. Even though we've have our past and little disagreements she always jokes about them the next time we see each other. She never holds a grudge. Her behaviour doesn't make sense.

Yet before i can even reply to what she said, i was on the floor, being punched repeatedly. I tried to get her off me, but she was strong. Stronger than me even. In my brink of confusion of this, i found myself being knocked out. I know this wasn't the same Emma as before. Something happened. She's different than before and that worried me. She never had strength like this. I just wanted my Emma back.

"Jarvis please give me a description of the girl i just came across"

With that i headed straight up to the Avengers floor hoping for them to give me back up. I needed Emma to be back with us, and I couldn't do it alone. I am gonna kill the other guy with her. He could hurts her, and I've just seen him act like a maniac over coffee.

I hate Peter. Who does he think he is thinking he could waltz back into my life as if he didn't leave me. Why does everyone leave me? I mean after my mother died and going to the Red Room i have been treated very badly. Yet you can't speak up or else you'll go to the basement. It's a living hell. I remember enough from my life before this to know that people especially kids cannot be treated like this. I also know that what I've had to do has been wrong, yet when your life is on the line, you turn very willing. I think that's what broke me. I don't care what i do anymore. Sure i still have my sense of humour yet only use it wont people i think would enjoy it and wouldn't snitch. And I'm never gonna see Jason again after this mission. He is kinda fit though. Unfortunately. Yet i hate him and his personality. Excluding all of that i know I'm a shell of the person i used to be. I guess humour and sarcasm are my defence mechanism's to being scared.

Do I feel badly for beating Peter up? No.

Anyway, enough of the sob story. I walked away in order to not draw any attention to myself just yet. The guards don't need to know I was there. As i continue down the hall walking at a fairly fast pace, i walk back to our office to grab our stuff in order to look like I'm trying to find Jason, yet there's no need. He almost bumps into me in the hallway. All he does is grab his bag and leads me away.

I don't even get to answer as I'm dragged along with him. My hand in his, until we are matching stride for stride. I look to him and all i see back are these glowing brown orbs and a freckled face with a cheeky grin. Not in a bad way but a cute way.

After me acting like a coffee monster, as Emma said, i managed to get back to her by the office. I basically acted like a maniac for coffee. A sleep deprived and coffee addict intern. As i collapsed on the floor in front of the guards snarking faces looking like a creep i saw Emma having a confrontation what someone. That made me sober even though i wasn't high or drunk on anything. If anything she's my drug and i cant stop thinking about her. And so i started rolling away from the guards. Was it a stupid idea? Hmmmm, yes and no. Yes because if i ever see those people again i might have to melt into the floor. No because I managed to get away. I'm sure Emma enjoyed my performance.

As i made it to Emma i grabbed my bag which she picked up and i told her what to do. We need to get out of this together. If only because she s a valuable asset and i know Madame B will have me head if not my commander. Both seem terrifying, and even if i didn't manage to pay my debts off there's no way I'm spending my last moments inside one of their bases.

As we were walking I felt her gaze on me and so i turned my head to look at her. She was glowing. Her hair was perfectly positioned even though she had just been fighting. Her face was perfect, even her little dimples. I kept looking at her because no one bothered us as we walked past and i kinda forgot to look away. And it made a great cover. Just 2 interns that are great friends. Nothing more. Yet what they don't now is that they wont even see each other after a couple of days.

With that we maintained eye contact and walked towards the exit.

Everyone was currently having lunch, taking a chill from the stressful past couple of weeks with each other. They needed each other in these times. Their peaceful lunch was interrupted by Peter frantically coming in with bruises on his face. Everyone got into a fighting stance as no one could even begin to fathom what had happened before he blurted out

"just listen to me please. Ive just seen Emma in the tech department. I don't know why she's there but she is and there's something off about her. She obviously needs our help. She has crazy strength. She was wearing a lab coat and seems to be heading for the exit with a guy who looks around her age. We need to catch her before she leaves but i need help. Please don't question me and just come with me."

Usually the Avengers would question Peter as to what was going on, but as it involved Emma, everyone just went with Peter running as fast as they could towards the exit. Tony was in his suit.

As we ran through the tower, the few people who were in the hallways cleared. They had Jarvis tell them what he knew and what peter asked. Everything matched up. As they got to the bottom floor, they saw who Peter and Jarvis said was Emma and a guy walking towards the exit looking at each other. Tony looked at peter for confirmation and asked Jarvis on his suspicions as this could be a random intern and Peter just nodded vigorously. And so Tony blasted the door in which they were going to exit out of.

The girl called Emma fell to the floor as glass shattered everywhere.
