When Worlds Collide

What's it Like?

After we finished my dad had Happy come pick me up to take me to school. Nobody knows that I'm a Stark and I'd like to keep it that way. It don't want all that attention on me.

I walked into school waving to a few people here and there. I'm one of those girls who is known by a lot of the popular people but we aren't friends by any means. I'm a middle grounder and I'm happy with it.

I continued on to my locker weaving in between the people in the halls. Once I finally got to my locker I set my stuff down and started fumbling with the lock.

"You need some help baby, cause I could get it open for you. It would only take a kiss." I knew the face before I even turned around. "No Flash, I don't need your help and quite frankly I would rather puke than even think about getting near your face. So back away please before this becomes something you don't want." I spoke firmly and then gave a small smile.

"Whatever, I know you want me." He winks at me as he turns on his heel walking away proudly. "Ugh" I shiver in disgust.

"Hey Reyna." "Aw, Peter. You were 2 seconds to late. Flash was hitting on me again. He really thinks that I'm wrapped around his finger."

"No! Reyna I'm so sorry. Do you want me to beat him up?" Peter smirks at me trying not to laugh at this unfortunate event. "Oh shut up Peter. No, what I would like you to do is get this locker open because I can't do it." Peter rolls his eyes at me and pulls down on the lock. With one swift movement the lock is open and I can get in my locker.

Peter and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. I was the second person to find out that he was Spiderman because well... my dad found out and recruited him. When I saw Peter walking around the compound I kinda put the pieces together.

He also knows that my last name isn't really Williams. I guess it's kind of an eye for an eye. He spills my secret, I spill his and vice versa. Not that we would ever do that to each other.

After I put my stuff in my locker I close it and finally turn to face Peter fully. As soon as I looked at him I hissed. "Jesus Peter! What did you do to your face?"
"Oh you know," he said with a shrug "fighting bad guys."

I squinted at him with a knowing expression and he just giggled back at me. "So basically... you fell on your face?" I said holding back a laugh. Peter stared at me for a moment before sighing. "Yep."

I rolled my eyes and then slowly stepped away from my locker. Peter followed quickly after and we walked to Physics class.

*After School*

Happy picked up Peter and I after school and we headed to the compound. I told my dad that I didn't want to have a party for my birthday, but knowing my dad asking wouldn't have been enough to stop him sooo. I told him that if he threw a party I would leave and go to Peter's house. For 3 weeks.

I'm sure it also took a lot of convincing from the team as well but in the end I was able to come home to a nice, non-decorated party room. Peter and I headed up to my room and started on our homework.

"Hey Peter?" I asked "Yeah?" he half answered focused on his homework. "How does it feel to have powers?" At this he stopped. "Why do you ask?" He says with a bit of concern filling his voice "Oh I don't know. I just feel like my dad is such an important figure to society and you are too. I mean I live with the avengers and that's really cool but sometimes I just wish I could do more. I guess I just wanted to know what I was missing out on."

Peter stared and me for a moment and then looked down in thought. There was a moment of silence before Peter spoke. "Honestly your not missing out on much. Being a hero and having powers seems really cool but honestly when I think about it, it's really not. The amount of physical and mental stress I have to put my body through to do what I do isn't healthy. I mean sure I heal fast but that doesn't take away the pain and anxiety I feel. Sometimes I'm scared to go outside because what if someone found out who I was and is after me now? I don't think your missing out. I wish I had your life. And also, you are doing plenty. You are the reason that Mr.Stark, the rest of the Avengers, and I can go do what we do. I don't know if we could do that without you Reyna."

I nodded at him with a smile on my face "Thank you Peter." He nodded back in response then continued on with his homework.
