Across the Stars (Peter Parker Story)

Chapter 6: Thoughts

Peter finished stopping another robbery as he sat on a rooftop. He panted and relaxed as he saw a mural of Iron Man and Captain America and a few other Avengers. He smiled and chuckled as he just admired it. He looked down and saw a man and a woman walk out of a restaurant together. Peter's mask zoomed in on them and saw rings on their fingers as he sighed and pulled his mask off,  walking on the roof of the building. He looked down at his feet and sighed, "Are we though? Are me and Brandy really gonna be together until death? She's like a super being. I'm barely super. She'd outlive me and move on to find another guy. Probably better than me... BUT STILL." He put his mask back on and started swinging. "I can't even be mad at her. I WON'T be mad at her!" He swung through a bridge and swung on for the hotel him and the Quill's were at, "It ain't her fault that she's like a God and I'm not. Whatever. She'll find someone better and I'll-" He sighed as he landed at the hotel room, "I'll never find anyone even CLOSE to her." He walked into the window to the room and changed into his normal clothes as he went to lie down. Brandy walked over to Peter and sat next to him, "Hey Handsome." She said in a soft tone as she kissed Peter's cheek as he hugged Brandy and smiled softly, "Hey love. How you doin'?" She blushed and giggled softly, "I'm good, how about you?" Peter shrugged, "Kinda worn out. But I'm good. Ready to hang out some more today?" Brandy nodded and smiled, "Lemme get my bathing suit and hoodie." She got up and went to change as Peter grabbed his Iron suit and turned it in to swim trunks again. He relaxed as he checked his phone for silly things like transformers figures and Star Wars collectibles. He smiled and added something to the cart before putting his phone away. Brandy walked over and stood in front of Peter as she kissed his lips. Peter leaned forward and kissed her back before he stood up and wrapped hs arms around her waist. "Hey Brandy. Whatcha wanna do today?" He asked adorably as Brandy giggled, "Wanna explore the place and find an arcade?" She replied as Peter nodded, "Sure! What could go wrong?"

Peter slammed his head on the controls as he grunted and fake-cried, "Why can't I beat this game!?" Brandy laughed softly at him, "It's just Pac Man baby, no worries!" Peter sighed as he died in the game, again. "UGH! It's rigged. No it's not." Brandy helped him up and kissed his cheek, "It's okay babe. Let's find a game you like?" Peter shrugged and found a VR game... But it wasn't any VR game... "Republic Commando..." He ran to it, holding Brandy's hand. She giggled and saw there was three people there. "Go babe! Get in there!" She kissed Peter and winked, "Good luck hunny." Peter nodded and smiled at Brandy as he jumped in there. He got the Delta-38 Boss gear on. He held the blaster for the game and smirked under the VR helmet, standing on a treadmill of sorts. The others joined the game and tried to fight the AI but they got taken out of the game quickly. Peter was taking out all kinds of droids. He ran and jumped as he blasted at the droids and then he landed on one bug, stabbing it in the game. He rolled and fired at another Geonosian before kicking another one and stabbing a third. He smirked and blasted a tank. Peter beat the game and pulled off his helmet as he held it and shouted, "FOR THE REPUBLIC!" People at the arcade cheered as he took off some of the gear before Brandy ran and jumped in his arms, kissing him passionately on the lips. Peter smiled into the kiss as he giggled and got the rest of the gear off, "Good job hunny!" Brandy shouted as Peter giggled, "Thanks babe!" He held up his tickets from the mission and kills, "Wooo! Yeah baby!" The two got out of there as they ran outside. Peter giggled as he held Brandy's hand, "That was something else... I was just TEARING those clankers apart!" He giggled as Brandy smiled and shook her head, walking with Peter. "You sure know how to fight with a blaster huh?" Peter nodded, "I learned from watching you and the clone wars." He smirked at Brandy as she blushed and kissed Peter's hand. Peter blushed and smiled as he looked towards the pool and turned back to Brandy, "Brandy. We need to talk. It's serious." Brandy stopped walking and looked into Peter's eyes, "Are we breaking up?" Peter gasped and turned to her all the way, "Nononono, I hope not. I just need to ask you something." Brandy bit her lip nervously as she waited for Peter's question. "Do you really want me? Like, REALLY want me. I'm a lunatic in tights and on occasion armor, and you're like basically a Goddess with Mandalorian armor and jet packs." Brandy cupped Peter's cheeks and made him look into her eyes, "Peter Parker, I adore you so much. You actually like me for my weirdness and footloose obsession. No one has ever been the way you are to me. Thank you Peter, and of course, I want you." She kissed him on the lips as Peter smiled into the kiss, blushing. The two continued walking around as they held hands. Peter looked at Brandy and blushed, "You're so pretty." She giggled softly at his compliment, "Thank you... Handsome." Peter blushed harder and smiled as he looked away, "Ugh, you're amazing." They giggled as Quill and Laura looked at them with their arms crossed. Parker sighed, "You wanna make her mad and make me leave?" He seemed completely unimpressed but everyone else there was shocked. "Um... you'll what?" Quill asked as Parker nodded, "Here's how it'll go down: You get mad at me and Brandy, you yell at her for hiding our relationship, then I try to stand up for her, you get angrier, we fight, I kick your ass cuz sir, I have powers, you have knockoff Captain Rex blasters, Brandy gets upset, runs away, I go into a depressive episode, and I never see your amazing family ever again. But, this is how I'd like it to go: You understand me and Brandy's unspoken thing, we talk about it, I tell you about the several times I saved/helped Brandy with anything and everything, she tells you how much I love and need her and how much she loves me, I also tell you about how we haven't had THE fun time with each other, and at last I tell you that no matter what happens between me and her, I'll do anything for her and you guys. I will save her, protect you, help Laura, and even babysit Oreo." Parker crossed his arms as Quill just stood there with the most confused, shocked and bamboozled face he ever had. He then rubbed his chin and walked to Brandy who looked up at him and nodded as she walked to Parker again and hugged him tightly. Parker picked up Brandy and held her as he looked at the two adults, "Soooo, how was your day?" he asked Quill
"Um... You know I was actually just gonna get defensive but honestly, I'd rather have you be Brandy's first boyfriend than the rest of the terran kids at your school." Parker smiled and nodded, "Thank you, sir." Brandy smiled softly and kissed Parker's cheek as he blushed at her. Quill smiled at them and hugged them both, "Thanks Parker." Parker nodded at Quill.

A few hours later, Peter walked with Brandy and then stopped, "Grrrr... Okay I gotta ask cuz I'm worried about you. Brandy, if we actually get married and I die before you, what would happen? Would you move on somehow or would you be like Arwen and wander the galaxy alone?" Brandy stopped and looked at Peter as she shook her head, "I'd do anything in my powers to prevent you from dying. I'd turn to Wanda, Stephen, anyone. Except Satan. Screw that guy." Peter giggled and smiled as he hugged her tightly, "I love you too." Brandy smiled and kissed Peter as she sighed happily, "You're my everything hunny."
