Chaoter 19

Chapter 19
After waiting for Brenda to call me, I decided to just go down there. Steve was still asleep, and Brenda had fallen asleep in the chair closest to the bed. When she was sleeping she looked like Peter a bit, they had similar noses, and lay there like the dead. I decided to sit down opposite Brenda and relax, and after I bit I dozed off too.
When I awoke some time later, Brenda was awake and looking at me a bit surprised.
“Has he waken up yet?” She asked me.
“Not since I woke up. Before that, I have no clue.” I responded.
“I woke up, but you both were sleeping.” Steve’s voice startled both myself and Brenda. I was happy that he didn’t wake up screaming in pain. Brenda went up to him, and kissed him.
“Well, I think I might just have to get hurt more often if that’s my prize for still being alive.” He just laughed
“You better not. The girls, Anna, myself, and your team need you to live. Don’t go and put yourself in danger on purpose.” She said to him. I was glad that he was okay, but Brenda had more on her mind. She looked over at me, and realized she was wondering about the girls
“Steve, your daughters are doing great. They are smiling and laughing. Do you want me and Brenda to go and get them so you can see them?” Steve nodded his head to indicate that he wanted to see them. Brenda and I went to go and get them, and brought them back to Steve. He was happy that they were happy to see him.
“You guys have gotten so big. I can’t believe it. I promise to be a better dad from here on out.” He told them.
“You are a good dad for keeping them safe. We can’t help it that so many villains are after us. We made it this far. The tower is still on lockdown, so we are safe.” Brenda said and with that she turned to leave, saying she needed to shower.
“So, how you feeling Old Timer?” I teased, Steve laughed and shook his head.
“Horrible.” I nodded
“That’s to be expected.” I said, and we sat in silence for a bit.
“Ms. Barton and Mr. Rogers, Ms. Parker has called the Avengers and Spider-Man to meet in your room. She has some important topics to discuss.” JARVIS called over the intercom. Steve looked to me for answers but I didn’t have any to give. I merely shrugged and waited for the team to head down.
"You can't give yourself up to Doom! I just got you back." Was Peter's reply to what Brenda had just told us. I felt sorry for him, despite Clint and I’s ongoing fight I can’t imagine what Peter was going through. "If you are going to do this, I have to ask you something." Steve said.
"Ask away." She replied.
"This would be more memorable if I could get on one knee, but............... Brenda Parker you are the love of my life. Ever since I first saw you in Biology I knew that we were meant to be. Not only that, but we brought two beautiful baby girls into this world. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" It may not have been that memorable, but it still brought tears to my eyes.
"Yes! Yes, I will marry you. I love you, Steve." Then she went up and kissed him
"Ah, if it isn't one of my enemies. Where is your team, Torch?" Doom said when he saw Brenda. When we left the tower, Peter broke down. He didn't want us to leave.
"I came alone. Well, not alone exactly. I came with my daughter, just in case you needed her flame power that she can't control." Jonny replied. He said that because it was part of the plan.
"Smart man. I do indeed need her flame ability as well as the element one. Loki was incompetent in fulfilling my demand." Doom replied. I could see the maniac look in his eyes. He knew what he was doing. "How is that Fiancé of yours Brenda?" He directed that question to her. How did he know about that?
"How did you know about that?" she asked. He just smiled evilly.
"You will be able to live at your home but you must do as I say and report back to me at the end of each day. Goes for your father as well. If you refused, your kids will suffer the same fate your mother did."
"I wish you hadn't said that. Red hood, your turn." She shouted. I burst through a window right on que.
"This is for Central Park, you son of a Bitch." I said and attacked with pure anger
"Alright, Anna he surrendered." she said after Doom gave up, well was knocked unconscious. S.H.I.E.L.D. walked in then, and arrested Doom.
"Brenda, Thank God you're alive after this stunt." It was Uncle Fury.
"Nice to see you too, Fury.” She replied. There was another reason why he was here. "Why are you really here?" she asked. He wasn't expecting that.
But honestly none of this mattered much to me, so I left needing to see Peter.
For me, the worst was over. Steve and Brenda was safe, Peter and I were together.
Peter’s point of view
Things were slowing down. Anna and I were finishing up school, her and Clint were on speaking terms again. We were leaving school, the final bell had rung a nearly fifteen minutes ago, but Anna was slow, having promised to lug all of Brenda’s school work over to her. When we finally reached her car, it was nearly four.
“I forgot my phone! I’ll be right back.” She says, as she turns around. Then there it is, the pit in my stomach. My “spider-sense” tingling.
“Anna- “
“I’ll be fine Peter. Be right back.” She calls as she runs back to the school. I push away the feeling. What could possibly go wrong?
That’s when I heard the gunshots. BLAM!! BLAM!!! BLAM!!!
Three shots.
Anna!
I took off running, not even bothering with the spider-suit. Anna needed me. BLAM!! BLAM!!! BLAM!! Three more gunshots, dear god. That’s when I turned the corner something hitting me hard in the head. As I struggled against the darkness that was pulling at me, I called for Anna. Then with no reply I fell, letting the darkness take me.
