-Sienna's POV-
My apartment was being painted, and for whatever reason the paint fumes were quite strong. I managed to convince my parents to let me stay over at Peter's because of it, and we had to wake up early to go on the Decathlon Trip.
It was around 2 AM when I woke up.
"Stop. No." Peter was tossing and turning in his sleep. He was having a nightmare, anyone could tell.
I could feel his emotions and mood violently switch. They went from peacefully to fearful in a second.
"Sh. Peter it's okay." I tried to get a grip on him but his energy levels were all over the place and my powers made it feel like he was burning.
"They're coming!" Peter shouted.
"Hey, I'm right here." I whispered and began to use my powers to calm him down.
Emotions were like energy bouncing on and off in someone's brain, if I could just find the right switch in his brain I could calm him down.
Thin gold waves came out of my fingertips and went into Peter's head. I closed my eyes and I could see his energy.
My finger twitched and Peter got even more tense.
I took a deep breath and thought of calm, happy, thoughts. I didn't know what I was doing, but I let instinct take over and followed it.
A few seconds I heard Peter breathing normally.
I laid back down, not only was it 2 AM, but my powers were draining.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Peter's alarm clock went off.
I groaned and went over to turn it off. The apartment was chilly, May probably burnt something and had opened a window.
"Sienna?" Peter rolled over, "I had the weirdest dream last night."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, 'except I don't really remember." Peter flopped back on his pillow.
"I'm going to go and start getting ready, I'll meet you in the kitchen and then you probably should have remembered." I smiled.
I heard Peter lightly snoring a few moments later.
No matter how draining my powers were, at least I didn't have his super fast metabolism that either left him starving or exhausted.
After I put on a pair of black leggings, a plain white T-Shirt, and a burgundy cardigan, I headed back into Peter's room.
"I think I left my locket in here." I dug around his desk, "Got it!"
"You still have that?" Peter asked. By now he had gotten up and brushed his teeth.
"Of course. I wear it everyday silly. That and the necklace I got from Shuri."
"That's so cool that you know a princess."
"She's a genius, I think you two will get along great."
The smell of pancakes filled the room.
"I better go eat all the pancakes before you do!" I said and ran off.
Peter called out in protest but I was already at the kitchen table.
"Good morning Sienna, did you sleep well?" May asked.
"Yup! These pancakes are the only thing that got me out of bed." I laughed.
"Are you going on the Decathlon trip today?" May asked.
"Nah, I need to take care of some S things, not anything major, I just need to make sure all the emergency protocols are up to date." I told her.
"But you're going on the Europe trip right? Peter is so excited for that. He's never really been to Europe. Well, except that one timeā¦" May trailed off.
"I think I'm going to Europe? Honestly I'm not even sure what's going on, I've got like a million things going on." I said.
Peter stumbled into the room.
"Hey sleepy head, you forgot to brush your hair." May ran her fingers through his bedhead.
"Huh, guess I did." Peter reached for a stack of pancakes.
"Well, I'm off for work. I'll see you later today for dinner. Good luck." She kissed Peter on the cheek and gave me a tight hug.
"Bye May!" We said in unison.
For awhile the apartment was silent as Peter and I shoved as many pancakes as humanely (or super-humanely) as possible.
"I think I remember my dream." Peter said, "Well, part of it. I had a nightmare then I felt at peace, like really warm and fuzzy and like everything was okay. I stopped dreaming, but I think you had something to do with it."
"I, hope you don't mind, maybe I shouldn't have messed with your mind. You were having a really bad nightmare and I couldn't stand to watch you, so I used my powers." I let the golden light come out of my fingertips, "I don't know if you can see it, but there's this gold light coming out of my fingertips right now. There's also a really, bright, golden light connecting you and me, and a slightly dimmer one between me and May, and there's also one between you and May. I think there's one between people who care about each other.
Anyways, my power is to control energy, and that includes all types of energy. Emotions give off energy inside here." I tapped Peters head, "So I just played around with it until your nightmare went away."
Peter didn't look at me for a second.
"I know it's kind of invasive, but you were just in so much pain I couldn't stand it-"
Peter cut me off with a kiss.
"Thank you." Peter said shyly, "I love you, er I mean I love that you did that for me, I love you Sienna Stark."
"I love you too Peter Parker."
We both smiled like a couple of nerds and continued eating our pancakes.
Maybe life didn't have to be so complicated.
Maybe it was meant to be that my best friend became my boyfriend who is also a kind of sort of not really Avenger named Spider-Man.
And it's okay that I'm a Stark, because the people who really know me, the people who really really care about me, see me as Sienna. Not Stark.
My life is wonderful, I have wonderful friends and wonderful parents and a wonderful boyfriend.
And yeah maybe half of the people I consider friends are Avengers, and I'm a weird, energy controlling, experiment that was supposed to be a weapon, but that's just the minor details.
The major details, at their core, aren't that complicated.
Life is crazy, I never thought I'd be dating Peter Parker, or that I would have these weird powers, or that I'd be having the best pancakes in all of New York this morning, but it's what makes life, fun.
Life is a lot of things, complicated, yeah, but it's pretty nice and amazing and everything I could have ever wanted.
I bundled up in a scarf and a long black jacket to walk Peter over to the school.
"Good luck, you'll do great." I hugged Peter.
"Get a room." MJ came up and imitated Flash, "But yeah, Peter, we kind of need you to do good. The best trophies are handed out at this competition."
We all laughed, none of us cared about the trophy.
Ned came running up, "Guys I found my old DS!"
"Heck yeah dude! You got Nintendogs?" Peter got really excited, "I, uh, I mean."
"Yeah I also found all my old games." Ned held up a giant bag.
"Well it seems that you guys are going to have the best decathlon field trip ever, now I'm really sad I can't go." I said.
The bus driver yelled for everyone to load up.
I stayed until the bus began to pull away and waved at Peter, MJ, and Ned.
Our friendship wasn't complicated like other groups who constantly had drama going on every other day, it was just a quad of nerds being nerds.
A/N: Hey guys! So, sorry for that super long wait, school actually kicked my butt so hard I'm on Titan.
Anyways, HOLY CRAP THAT ENDGAME TRAILER. Yeah, I cried a lot. What did you guys think?
