OUT OF THIS WORLD [2] ✓ (AVENGERS FF)

3: hangout

"What can I say, no one can resist my charm."

"Okay then spider boy." I shake taking his hand, his arm coming to wrap around my waist as he pulls me closer to him.

"Are you ready?" He says looking at me.

"Wait."

"What's wrong?"

"We're literally going to hang out aren't we?"

Instead of answering, Peter stretches out his arm, shooting a web in the process, then before I can even blink, he jumps off. The New York City buildings rising and falling as he swings.

After a while, we make a quick stop to take a break.

"So...where are you taking me Spidey?"

"You'll see." He says, pulling his mask up. "It's a surprise."

"Alrighty then."

"Well, actually, before that...what do you say about spending the day sightseeing?"

"That sounds very nice."

"Awesome. Let me just change and we can head down the fire escape."

We decided that it would be nice to visit Peter's home town Queens. I had never been, but it's a lovely neighborhood where everybody knows each other. As he gave me a tour, Peter kept telling me stories about the different places he visited growing up, ending the tour by getting some sandwiches from Delmar's after having lunch at the famous Thai restaurant Peter always talks about.

After walking around aimlessly for some time, Peter announces that it's time to go, securely putting an arm around me as he shoots another web, waiting until my arms are wrapped around his neck to take off.

"Hold on tight." He says, making me squeal as we jump high into the air, watching the multi colored cloud above us.

It kind of feels like we're flying, except swinging is more jumpy and a bit more unstable, but it's fun nonetheless.

"Here we are." Peter says as we land on another rooftop, a blanket set beforehand. "You're going to love this." He says handing me a sandwich, which I gratefully take as we watch the sunset.

"Woah...I say in amazement. It's so beautiful."

"I know right?" He says taking a bite from his sandwich. "I like coming here when I'm having a rough time."

"It's very peaceful." I agree, smiling softly as we fall into a comfortable silence.

"Nessa..." Peter starts after a while, eyes fixed on his fidgeting fingers as he talks, the action taking me by surprise.

"Is everything okay Peter?" I ask, suddenly feeling concerned.

"Yeah, it's just..." he says letting out a long sigh, looking away as he continues. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" I say confused.

"That day at the park....I should have paid more attention, then you wouldn't have..."
