NEVAEH || SPIDERMAN: ATSV

15

"No, where are you?" He called out, stretching a hand forward into the darkness to touch her,

She was right in front of him though, 

And he walked through her several times, trying to find her in the places she wasn't,

Nevaeh's eyes widened as the man got up, picking the already loaded gun,

Pointing it at Miles who had his back turned,

Miles turned around at the cock of the gun and Nevaeh watched in dismay,

Knowing that to save Miles, she had to use one of her other powers, 

A strong one, 

Which she could not pair with being invisible,

She would have to show herself,

"Let's talk about this like men" Miles offered raising his hands in surrender, obviously to trick him,

"No" The man replied as he levelled his gun at him,

The seconds counted and he was inching nearer to pull the trigger,

Beads of perspiration started to form on Miles' head,

Nevaeh held the man's hand as she became visible to their eyes,

The man groaned as she tightened her grip on his hand, crushing his bones, making him drop the gun,

Her eyes glowed light brown in the dark as the man stared into a neverending hellhole,

It had been a long time since she had used this power,

"You" She whispered,

"I" The man answered as Nevaeh fucked with his mind,

"You will pick up your gun, walk to the lagoon, end your life and throw yourself into the water" She whispered harshly, loud enough for Miles to hear,

"I will pick up my gun, walk to the lagoon, end my life and throw myself into the water" He repeated, like a mindless person,

"Exactly, now, go" Nevaeh said as she let go of his hand, watching him walk into the gloomy night,

"Miles" She whispered as she walked towards him, reaching out her hand to touch his face,

He took a few steps back, his back hitting the wall,

Nevaeh sighed as she played with her hands awkwardly instead,

This was exactly why she hesitated to help earlier,

She was scared that he would be scared of her,

"Have you ever done that to me?" His voice asked,

"No" She whispered, glad that at the least he was talking to her,

"Please come home, Zaylo" She mumbled,

Throughout the walk home, he refused to hold her hand, they walked apart,

Nevaeh enjoyed his company while he dreaded the unknown.

Miles winced as he finally allowed Nevaeh to apply the ice pack on his already forming bruises after hours of begging, series of pleas and explanations.

The sun meekly peeked out from behind the curtains of white fluffy clouds in the serene blue sky 

He had refused to touch her or have any physical contact with her ever since they got to the house,

She held his head with her hand as she placed the icepack in the right places,

"Miles, please talk to me" She begged again for the hundredth time that morning,

He let out a sharp sigh,

His facial expressions as static as ever, no one could ever tell what he was thinking by reading his face,

"You're sure you've never used this on me right?" He finally asked, 

"No I haven't, and I would never use it on you  don't you believe me?" She asked him 

"I want to believe you Nevaeh, I really do" He whispered, wrapping his arms around her waist, letting his hands fall on the curve of her ass,

"You have to, I would never manipulate you, I don't even like manipulating people, I only did that to save you" She sighed,

"So, everyone in your family has some sort of power ?" He asked,

"Not everyone, only a few are gifted" She answered 

"So what other powers might you have?" He asked 

Nevaeh sighed as she dropped the icepack on the table, placing her hands a few inches above his face,

They glowed bright blue and when she was done, his face was completely restored,

"What did you do?" Miles asked as he touched his face, not feeling any pain or the sting from his formerly torn lip,

"I fixed you, I also have healing powers" She shrugged as Yasmeen groggily walked into the dining room, trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes,

"What powers does she have?" He asked out loud causing the girl to halt in her tracks, suddenly giving the couple a bombastic side eye as she tried to figure out if he really knew or not,

Nevaeh gulped as she looked at her cousin who was already glaring at her, sending her death threats through her eyes,

"Yasmeen, please pass me a cup" She sighed,

Yasmeen made her way to walk to it,

"Not like that" Nevaeh said earning a raised eyebrow from Yasmeen who brushed it off by rolling her eyes,

With a finger motion, she pointed at the cup, then her cousin,

Nevaeh snatched the cup out of the air, handing it to Miles who seemed to check whether it was real,

"Is there anything else you're forgetting to tell me?" He asked as he dropped the cup on the table,

"Remember, this is your second chance to tell me everything" He mumbled, holding her hand gently as he gazed straight into her eyes,

The sound of a powerful current of water hitting the metal sink was heard, 

The couple looked at Yasmeen who had desperately wanted to wash her hands inconspicuously,

They stayed silent, waiting for her to be done,

"You know what guys? This is awkward, I'll get breakfast outside" Yasmeen said as she grabbed her car keys from the table,

"Nevaeh?" He called out,

"Yes Zay" She answered,

"Is this really all you want to tell me?" He asked again,

She nodded,

"I feel you're not telling me everything" He said as he took a firm hold of her hand, leading her up the stairs and into her room,

The door snapped shut.
