Part 2 of Sanctuary, a request from @blue-winter-queen . I got attached to the story and wanted more. A third part will be posted after my art block passes.

Warnings: Angst
Meeting up with R in Arendelle, Sora tries to bring her to the light.
Takes place during and Kingdom Hearts 3. Larxene is benched and R goes to Arendelle in her stead.
Elsa runs off after she creates a wall to separate Sora, Donald, and Goofy from her. “Sora. You have to let her go.” Donald tells a sulking Sora. “She wants to be alone.” Sora walks away from the wall. “I just wanted to know why she was so sad.” From behind the group, a familiar voice was heard. “Classic Sora. Intrusive as always.” The group turns to see a short figure in a black coat.
“That voice.” Sora mutters to himself. “(O/N)? Is is you?” He asks the figure, making them laugh as they take off their hood. It was (O/N). They were slightly older and had a different hairstyle and their eyes were yellow instead of orange, but it was in fact (O/N). “So nice of you to acknowledge me. You know, one of the Organization Members you’ve killed in cold blood.” They were more sarcastic and they had a lot more venom in their tone.
Sora thought back to how (O/N) had died. He didn’t want to kill them. He wanted to spare their life, but his keyblade was run right through them with no explanation. They’re acting as if he was the one who killed them, but it just happened, out of his control.
“I wanted to save you.” He tried to convince them, but they weren’t hearing it. “Back to business.” Their gauntlets appear on their hands. “I’m going to need you to stay away from Elsa.” Their smile drops. “Why are you after her?” He asks.
“Relax. No one is going to hurt her, but we need you out of the way.” As they finish, Donald and Goofy started to hit the wall with their weapons, making it shatter. “Guys! What are you doing?” Sora asks in panic. “It’s not us, Sora!” Goofy yells in protest. “The ice is gonna wall us in!” Donald screams.
Boulders of ice shoot into the ground, surrounding the three. “That’s a mystery to figure out.” (O/N) says, walking away. Sora tries rushing towards them, but he was completely walked in by the ice before he got to them. He bangs his fists against the wall. Not in desperation to get out, but in anguish instead.
“(O/N)? Why?” He whispers, knowing they couldn’t hear him.
—————————————
The three had escaped The Labyrinth of Ice and had made it up the North Mountain. “I don’t know what we just saw but wow.” Sora says as the Ice Palace was completed. “Elsa looked different.” Donald says as Goofy added on “Yeah, and a lot happier, too.” Sora starts walking forward. “Let’s say hi.”
As the two followed him, (O/N) showed up in a Dark Corridor, blocking their way to the stairs. “Oh no, I’m hurt now.” They say sarcastically. “I thought I was the only one you cared about that way.” That took Sora aback. “Please don’t tell me. You’re jealous over Elsa? I don’t like her that way.” Sora tries explaining. “Plus, why are you so concerned about her?” “Fine, I’ll admit it. Elsa is a person of interest to us.”
Maybe she's one of the seven lights we’re looking for. One of the New Seven Hearts. I was told to make sure off it, though. Fortunately, I’m in the best position to tell. Can't pick out that "special glimmer"...unless you're standing in the shadows. And maybe Elsa doesn’t have it. I mean, just look how cold her castle is. Made of magic she forced herself to keep hidden until now. What if it's dark magic?
“Elsa would never rely on the darkness.” Sora countered. “She’s not you.” Just then, (O/N) felt something in their chest where their heart would be. Was it hurt? No, it couldn’t be. They didn’t have a heart to feel that.
“It’s not up to you. It’s how she sees it.” (O/N) shoved down the faux feeling and snaps at Sora. “If she believes her magic is darkness, that's what it will become.” They explain to the group. “Accepting her power, whatever it is, is the only way she can set her heart free. So what will she accept? Light or darkness?” They finish their taunt with a smirk.
“I won’t let her fall to darkness.” Sora gets defensive. “I’ll protect her, and then I’ll drag you out.” As he spoke, the air around him started getting pretty thin as he was lifted up on the ground.
He tries to grasp at the invisible force trying to crush his windpipe. “I told you, it’s her choice.” (O/N) says loud enough so Sora could hear. “You wanna protect her? You wanna save me? Then stop trying to be our hero.” Sora is then tossed off the ridge. Donald and Goofy rush towards (O/N) with their weapons out, only to be pushed back by the same energy that threw Sora off.
—————————————
The three safety made it to the ground. Donald and Goofy got to their feet and walk over to Sora. Sora’s hand was lightly clutching onto his neck as he felt the normal amount of air return. The two help him up as he rubs his throat.
“Why is (O/N) like this?” His voice was slightly damaged. He felt something in his own heart at the thought of how coldly they treated him. “We should go back up to check on Elsa. You know, to make sure (O/N) was wrong about her.” Sora nods his head in agreement, not trusting his voice.
For Sora’s sake, not another word was spoken until he fully healed. The group went on their way.
—————————————
A while afterwards, Sora was completely healed and was talking again. He, Donald, and Goofy rush towards the now reunited sisters, only to be blocked by a bubble of Darkness surrounding them. They stop in their tracks and (O/N) appears in front of them, looking over at Anna and Elsa.
“Ok, I’m one to admit when I’m wrong.” They said, feeling a little salty. “You did manage to protect her from the Darkness. And now, there’s not only one of The New Seven Hearts here, but two. That’s something I’ll have to tell my father when I get back.” They turn to the group.
“First Marluxia, now you? What’s going on?” Sora asks. (O/N) walks closer. “So, Marluxia already spilled the beans. I may as well give you a refresher. If you fail to find your guardians, us seekers will need another group to fall back on.”
“Leave innocent people out of it!” Sora was getting upset, but (O/N) wasn’t letting up. “Don’t you have a princess in your ranks? That’s kinda hypocritical of you. You’ll need more if you don’t want these princesses harmed.” Sora scoffed. “Like you have your thirteen already. The King said you’re one member short.” That got (O/N) to laugh.
“Funny thing, we’re actually set. We’ve been set a while back.” (O/N) said after regaining sensibility. That took the group aback. “So, you need to find your last lights, or we’ll be needing theirs.” Y/N disappears into a Dark Corridor. “They found their thirteen?” Sora says to himself.
—————————————
At the Keyblade Graveyard, Sora runs into a secluded area. He sees (O/N) with their gauntlets on and multiple Inquisitor Nobodies standing behind them. Sora runs up to (O/N). He decides not to pull out his Keyblade, seeing that no one has attacked him yet.
He lightly takes (O/N)’s hand, making them slightly flinch. “(O/N), please. Come to the light.” They look away from him. “You don’t know what my dad would do to me if I did, what Xehanort would do…” they say quietly. Sora finally realizes why they do what they have been doing. Why they were so hard on him. “If you come to the light, we’ll defeat Xehanort. Together. The way it was always meant to be.”
(O/N) pulls away from Sora, getting into a fighting stance as the Inquisitors start flying around the area. “Fight me. I won’t use my powers this time. Just end me.” They begged. Sora summons his Keyblade.
—————————————
(O/N) slumps to the ground and the last of the Inquisitors disappear. Xehanort’s darkness slips out of them. They try prying off their coat. Sora kneels down to their level, trying to help them. The coat was off, showing the keyhole shaped scar on their stomach where Sora ran them through the first time they fought.
Sora’s eyes scan over the scar. “I need to explain this.” (O/N) name says. “It’s my power, Sora. I can manipulate the mind, make people do things they normally wouldn’t do.” That explains everything. Why Sora’s Keyblade was ran through them back then and why Donald and Goofy trapped them in the Labyrinth of Ice.
“Please, not another word.” Sora says. “You’re not strong enough. Save your strength. We have to fight Xehanort.” (O/N) shook their head. “I can’t help, but someone else can. Just believe for me.” They finally give a genuine smile. “Please, Sora.” (O/N) disappears in the darkness, gone. Sora let out a few tears.
—————————————
While fighting against Saïx, the guardians were not doing to well. Saïx swings his claymore and then a Dark Corridor opens. A young person with (hair length + color) hair and (color) eyes in a normal looking outfit rushes through with (O/N)’s gauntlets on their hands. They catch the claymore with their gauntlets, keeping Saïx at bay.
Sora looks over. “(O/N)?” They push Saïx back before they turn around. “Less questions, more fight-!” They, along with Sora and Kairi, were pushed to the ground by Saïx. Lea rushes in front of the three, protecting them.
Sora looks over to the new person, who was trying to stay conscious. “Who are you?” He asks, his voice straining. They try to sit up. “(O/N) is my nobody. I’m (Y/N).” Sora crawls over to them, pulling them into a gentle hug. “I thought I lost you.” They hug him back.
—————————————
“I don’t need hearts, I’ll scatter them all to the winds.” Xemnas disappears, appearing behind (Y/N). He grabs them by both of their gauntlets. “(Y/N)!” Sora rushes to them. “What difference does one little light make? You have others, just as we have more darknesses to replenish our ranks.” Xemnas disappears with (Y/N), leaving the others to fight Saïx.
—————————————
Xemnas and (Y/N) exit the corridor out of the maze. “Let go of me.” (Y/N) struggles against his hold before he throws them to the ground. Ansem and Xehanort, along with Xemnas, now have (Y/N) surrounded. (Y/N) looks up in horror.
Additional Notes: This part was posted on March 28th 2023. This date is mostly known as the 21st Anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, but it’s also my 20th birthday. I just wanted to post something to celebrate both occasions.💝

Rumor has it that American Sweetheart (Y/N) Stark and Avenger and Friendly neighborhood hero, Spiderman have romantic and possible sexual relations with each other. They were spotted in the Avengers Tower west parking lot a few hours ago in a heated makeout session in the-

The vigilante bug hero, Spiderman, and Tony Stark’s daughter, (Y/N) Stark have been caught in a hot and heavy lip-locking session that shows that there might be a deeper and possibly sexual relationship between the two-
As the channels were flipped you were forced to watch yourself makeout with a half-masked Peter with his body pressing yours against the wall and your hand gripping his ass, multiple times you felt yourself sink in your chair with the feeling of mortification eating you alive. You sat casually on your chair at the head of the long square table as you eyed Nika who sat adjacent to you with a flabbergasted look in your eye. She reciprocated the look as she lifted her stark tablet showing you all of your friends screaming, crying and emoting in the group chat on Discord. You had to keep yourself from bursting into a nervous giggle fit.
The TV is turned off by a board member as all of their eyes narrowed at you. You sat up straight and cleared your throat softly.
"Miss Stark," one board member named Leanne Camry stated sternly. "Do you have any idea how serious this is?"
"What? That I'm in a relationship with an Avenger? Nobody is actually surprised, are they? My dad was literally Iron Man. I literally run the company that funds the Avengers."
"You are also the face of this company," another board member named Xavier Chavez interjected. "You have a responsibility that requires you to at least look like you give a damn about the well-being of this company."
You were taken aback. "So an innocent….well barely innocent kiss with Spiderman is gonna make the entirety of the company crumble? Wow, if I knew I had this much power maybe we should make sweet, sweet love on top of a HYDRA facility and watch the whole organization disintegrate."
Nika was in the middle of sipping her coffee before she spit it out all over the table from your words. A soft string of apologies left her mouth as she avoided the gazes of the board members. You dared to not look at each other for the moment because you knew if you did it would end up being a chaotic and unprofessional giggle fit.
"This is a serious matter," Darlena Christensen, another member, exclaimed. "You represent this distinguished establishment as a spearhead for greatness. We cannot afford you going around galavanting with random superheroes in parking lots doing unspeakable acts."
Your face twisted in confusion that screamed 'What the fuck?!' before you spoke. "What is this, the 1800s? Should I change my last name to Bridgerton? We were kissing and we made a mistake by doing it in public. This isn't the 1950s anymore. I'm not gonna get executed in the plaza by angry customers and benefactors with pitchforks and shovels because I kissed a guy who happens to be a favored superhero."
"You're a businesswoman, not an influencer," Camry continued. "You should start acting like it for once. This image makes you look frivolous."
You rolled your eyes and sighed. Choose your battles, you thought to yourself several times.
"Okay, well, if you're all quite done patronizing me," you stood up and smoothed out your black bodycon dress under your matching black oversized blazer. "I would like to go back to being a businesswoman. In fact, I have to upgrade Spiderman's suit to have an invisibility option so we can galavant on top of the Empire State Building later. Hope it doesn’t fall over in the process."
And with that, you walked out ignoring the board's protest as Nika bumbled behind you still trying to keep composed and recover from your attitude that you definitely inherited from your late father. You glanced at each other for a quick moment before letting out a stream of silent giggles as you headed toward your office. When you both entered, you two looked at each other for a long moment before anyone spoke.
"Oh, you're so fucked," she raised her eyebrows and nodded slowly with her lips pulled into a thin line.
"Yeah," you bit your lip nervously as you thought about Peter and if he was doing okay with all of this.
Nika instantly started scrolling through her stark tablet, "It's trending on all platforms and people have…. opinions."
As you expected, people would have opinions. It’s not like you guys wouldn’t be a big conversation. Tony Stark’s daughter and an Avenger? You could only imagine how much you both broke the internet with this.
"Yeah, I'm not worried about them," you replied, grabbing your phone. "I'm worried about-" You looked around cautiously. "Spidey."
You knew that someone from the Avengers Tower was responsible for this but it was also both of your fault for not being more careful. Luckily, you didn't completely reveal his face and his back was to the camera. His identity was still safe for the time being.
But for how long?
You guys have been out and about together not really hiding yourselves, but considering you looked like a normal person on the streets no one could really tell if it was you or not. Your Stark appearance and your Jarvis appearance were vastly different. As a Stark, people would expect you to be in edgy yet chic business casual designer fashion, a face full of bold glam makeup, hair slicked, and looking like a billion bucks, as one who's a Stark does. But as your Jarvis alias, you wore your usual staple look of black jeans, black jacket, black top, black shoes, minimal makeup, hair, and your Stark specs shaded over your eyes. Sometimes a mouth mask and a hat if there was an event coming up and you knew people would be looking for you. It was something you carefully curated for this very reason. You weren't stupid. You knew you were a well-known public figure so you had to make life easier on yourself as much as possible. Especially because of enemies. Specifically, your dad's enemies that fell onto you.
Nika pursed her lips together again and crossed her arms. "So, what do you wanna do first?"
You chewed on your rose-painted bottom lip and crossed your arms over your chest. You tapped your ankle-booted foot on the ground in unison with your fingers tapping your arm several times as you ran down the list of things to do to help alleviate the situation at hand.
Willow took the time to rub herself between your legs and purred loudly at your presence. You smiled down at the bundle of fur before squatting down to pet her for a moment. Instant serotonin.
"Let me call…Spiderman," You were careful to not use his name in case someone had bugged your office. "You check the security cameras to see who spilled the beans."
"On it," Nika clicked around on her Stark Tablet and sat on the couch in the middle of the office.
You stood up straight and texted Peter.
Hey, handsome~
He responded right away.
Hey, beautiful~ 💕 How are you?
Well, I got reprimanded by the board about 10 minutes ago. Did you see the news?
You mean us making out in the parking lot yesterday trending? Yeah, I did. People are especially taken by you grabbing my ass.
I'm really sorry…are you okay?
Not your fault. It's mine really. So I'm sorry.
It's going to be the self-blaming olympics, you thought and sighed.
We're both at fault for this really. We're trying to figure out how to go about this. Me and Nika.
Have you checked the group chat?
You groaned softly, remembering how rapid-fire your friends were typing.
I haven't fully but I can imagine they're all confused and thinking the worst of me right now.
You frowned at that.
You continued to chew your lip as your cherry-colored nails ghosted over the keyboard of your phone hesitantly. You let out a sigh and leaned back on your desk as your heartbeat began to pump at a rapid pace.
You knew Peter keeping his identity secret was important to him, especially after everything he went through…that you both went through…what you all went through. Luckily for you, your identity was never revealed to the world like Peter's was because you never showed your face around Quentin Beck or anyone on that mission. It was a gut feeling you had that both you (and Faceless Peter in your memories) had. Luckily, not many people at the company knew about your identity as a Stark by face only by word of mouth. And nobody knew you as Silk at the company either and you preferred it that way then and you preferred it that way now.
So, you didn't want to force him to tell your friends and family about his identity. That would be unfair to him. But you needed to find a way to tell your friends that you weren't cheating on Peter with Spiderman without telling them that Peter was Spiderman. So you began thinking of different ways to tell them without necessarily lying to them either.
"Peter was cosplaying as Spiderman and testing out his upgraded suit. Spidey didn't mind." Maybe, but maybe not. Peter wouldn’t keep that kind of information from his friends that he tested out Spiderman’s suit and you wouldn’t make him keep that info to himself either.
"It's a deep fake video." No, that's a lie. That would only make him look like the bad guy.
"He wanted to test out an upside-down kiss." No, that doesn't help your case at all and would keep making you look like the bad guy.
"Publicity stunt?" They knew that you were far from that type of person.
"We're poly." Yeah, because that would totally go over well.
You took a deep breath and threw your head back in defeat. You wholeheartedly didn't know what to say. You were at a loss for ideas without being a straight-up liar.
But then Peter's text took you by surprise.
We should tell them.
Your eyes widened when you looked at the screen again.
Are you sure?
Yeah! It's about time they know. It would be better if they had direct contact with us in case they're in trouble with anything anyway. Plus MJ, Ned, and Celina already know about you. It’s starting to get difficult to keep up with these half-truths we keep throwing around…
But what about Police Captain Stacy and Police Captain Davis? They practically hate us. That could be putting Gwen and Miles in an awkward position, no?
There was a long pause in between your text which meant he was considering your words. So you took the time to look at Nika who was still looking through the tablet.
"Any luck?" You asked.
"Not yet," she replied, not looking up from her tablet. "But I'll figure it out."
Your phone sounded again.
Luckily for us, they're both stationed in Brooklyn. Plus, I feel bad for keeping this from them. I want them to know everything.
Like…everything?
Like everything, everything. If you're okay with it.
You took a deep breath.
Okay. I'm okay with it if you are. But only if you're sure 💕
I'm sure 💕Also Cindy has a huge crush on Spiderman and I would really like to get that out of the way as soon as possible.
LOL I’m so sorry.
You both agreed on having a group meeting with your friends in a secluded and safe place, so the Avengers Compound it was. You had taken Celina, MJ, and Ned there a few times before when you were staying there for a while after your trip from Malibu but it's been a while since they've been there. Nika had been there plenty of time considering her job and this would be the first time for the rest of your friends so you expected some oohs and ahs and a lot of gawking, which you didn't mind.
But first, you had to keep yourself from looking like a cheater first.
Everyone was there when you finally walked in and you figured Nika, who arrived earlier, was the one who showed them around. Sam and Bucky were coming back from a mission that day and you weren't sure if they were there yet or not. You hoped they weren't for your own sake. You knew they would do everything to embarrass you in front of everybody as they usually do in their brotherly way, especially with you as a hot topic in the news right now. You were surprised they didn’t call you about it.
Peter was waiting by the door for you when you arrived and you hugged each other tightly and basked in each other for a moment. Your face was buried into his neck and you breathed in the scent of sandalwood and vanilla and safety and he kissed your shoulder and let himself linger there so he could take in your sweet and floral scent. You could hear each other's heartbeats as your senses hummed.
You made a mental note of a cuddle session later.
After a moment, you pulled away and he cradled your face and stroked your jaw with his thumbs for a moment and searched your eyes to find any signs of your current mood. You searched his back.
"Hey," he smiled softly.
"Hey," you smiled softly back. "How much do they hate me?"
"They… don't hate you."
You looked up at a window where you saw Gwen and Cindy looking out at the both of you. You could tell by their stances that they were in protective mode as they eyed you. You could see your other friends sitting around the table in the conference room in discussion, probably about everything happening.
You smiled to yourself. It was nice knowing Peter was in great hands.
"Ready for the big reveal?"
You nodded in response. "Are you?"
He also nodded. "Yeah, I am. I am a little nervous though. It's not that I don't trust them, I just…don't want them to be upset, you know?"
"I don't think they will be if they don’t hate me for this."
You guys pecked each other's lips after a short moment of silence before walking hand in hand up to the conference room where your friends were. When you arrived there, you couldn't even process everyone's presence before you were met with…
"(Y/N)!!!!!" Celina screamed in a high-pitched voice as she stomped over to you. You winced as her voice rang in your heightened hearing ears. "Explain yourself!"
"Celina-"
"How could you do that to Peter?! This sweet boy?! Who loves you so, so much and would do anything for you?! Oh god, please tell me you have a halfway good reason for this-"
"Celina," you sang but she didn't hear you.
"I know you like, have this thing for Spiderman and all but THIS?!"
"Celina, please-"
"Poor Peter," you could've sworn she was crying. "I don't understand…were you possessed? OMG does Spiderman actually have that mind control powers that were rumored years ago?! Did he take advantage of you-"
"Peter is Spiderman!" You blurted out loudly from getting fed up that she wouldn’t let you get a word in.
There was a long silence and Celina's face was in pure shock. Everyone else besides Nika and MJ was just as shocked.
"HUH?!" Celina finally squeaked. "OH MY GOD REALLY?!” Her eyes flashed to Peter who pursed his lips into a thin-lipped smile of confirmation. “NO WAIT THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT!"
"Yeah, I figured this out long ago," MJ said calmly. "Halloween confirmed it for me."
Your eyes narrowed at your curly-haired best friend and you crossed your arms and stood in contrapposto. "You've been sitting on this for five months?"
"Well, I was only sixty-five percent sure," she explained. "On Halloween, I was ninety percent sure, but I still didn’t want to assume and make things awkward. Now I'm a hundred percent sure."
“You know,” you started squinting at her. “Maybe you should actually use your degree and become a PI or something.”
Celina’s eyes were switching from you to Peter repeatedly as if she was trying to solve a problem. Meanwhile, you looked at your other friends.
"You're Spiderman?" Gwen asked with her eyebrows furrowed like she was processing what was being said.
"Um…yeah!" Peter squeaked nervously and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Like actually?" Miles asked. "Like…not just the Spiderman in the video? Like, you're the Spiderman?"
"Mhm," Peter nodded. “In the flesh.”
Gwen crossed her arms over her chest. "This is one hell of a way to find out…"
"I'm sorry," Peter's shoulders dropped slightly. "I wanted to tell you guys but I wanted to protect you guys but it's gotten to a point where I couldn't keep it to myself any longer."
"Wait so if you're Spiderman what about you and Silk-" Gwen turned to look at you with wide eyes and realization. You waved your fingers at her with a small 'hi' and a confirming look. "Oh….!"
"Wait,” Pav started. “You’re Silk?”
“Yep,” you responded. “In the flesh.”
“I kinda figured that one,” Harry replied. “I was there when you got bit by the spider, next thing you know you were disappearing and Silk would appear. You two were never in the same room at the same time. But I also wasn’t sure and didn’t want to assume. Life can be weird like that sometimes.”
“You’ve been sitting on this for over five years?!” You exclaimed, narrowing your eyes at Harry. “You two are meant for each other.” You were referring to him and Michelle.
“Ditto,” Harry responded, referring to you and Peter.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up,” Ned interjected. “So if Peter is Spiderman…how come you didn’t know who he was until like…seven months ago? You both are Avengers, no?”
You and Peter looked at each other hesitantly not knowing where to actually start in the clusterfuck that was your situation. You had told so many people different things that you almost couldn't keep up. Now that it was coming to a head, you didn't know who knew what about who or what anymore.
Good thing the air was about to get cleared.
You chewed your lip as Peter crossed his arms over his chest.
“That…is a long and complicated story,” Peter started. “It’s all my fault really.”
“Care to share with the class?” Gayatri motioned her hands to everyone after a mini moment of no response or continuation.
You let out a sigh. “We should start at the beginning, otherwise it could get very confusing."
So you told them everything.
You told them how you both got bit on a school trip to Alchemax during your freshman year. You were at Horizon High with Harry and Peter was at Midtown Tech with Ned and Celina. The spider bit you first and you flung it off of your arm which caused it to land on Peter and bite him and he killed it. You explained how you both developed your powers the next day and how you would get stuck to things, sweat like crazy, had muscles you never had before, heightened senses, and quick reflexes.
You told them how you told your dad right away that something was wrong and Dr. Cho and Dr. Banner ran tests on you and found out that the DNA from the spider bite had spliced with yours to make you part spider. Peter explained how he kept his secret from everyone for a solid six months before Tony showed up at his door one day.
You told them that when you switched schools your sophomore year was when you met each other and your senses only started going off when you made physical contact with each other.
You told them about the fight in Germany and how when you guys got back you spent most of the time trying to stop Peter from taking on missions too big for him which ended up with him wanting to prove himself even more and it caused both of you to get your suits taken away.
You told them how you two found out about each other's identities and how you guys got together as a couple.
And finally, you told them about the senior trip to Europe, Mysterio, and his antics, and the aftermath where Peter had to make everyone forget who he was.
"And I still don't remember him fully," you said. "just bits and pieces that used to give me mind-splitting migraines."
Your friends all had different expressions on their faces, all a mixture of shock, concern, and confusion.
"Okay, paraphrase," Gayatri started. "You both got bitten by the same spider on a field trip, you guys both become spiderheroes and avengers later on, you both find out about each other and fall in love, you guys go on a trip to Europe and get summoned by SHIELD then find out Mysterio was a fraud and then tried to pin everything on Spiderman and revealed his identity which caused you to be a suspect and the most talked about person globally and prevented Celina, Ned and MJ from getting into college so you went to a sorcerer to make you everyone forget that you were spiderman but you accidentally messed up the spell which caused a rift in the multiverse and brought villains from other worlds to ours who you tried to fix but they ended up killing your aunt-"
"Only one. Norman Osborn. A different Norman Osborn."
"...okay, and so Ned accidentally brought over two other Peter's from different worlds who helped you fight these villains but in order to save our universe from collapsing you had to make everyone forget about you?"
"Yep, sounds about right."
A thick silence fell over all of you as everyone took the time to process the information given to them.You took the time to open up your holographic files to explain to them how this whole situation was.
"Let's try it this way," you started and grabbed everyone's attention as you drew your fingers across the holograms. "This is me. This is Peter," two stick figures show up, one male the other female. "This is us before the spell but then," you drew a line in between the two stick figures, "the spell happens," you point to stick Peter, "he's fine because he remembers everything. The only thing he suffers with is missing me on a deeper level," you point to stick you "me on the other hand, my senses were trying to connect back with his and my dreams were me trying to remember him. My body, mind, and soul had a big disconnect because of the spell which caused the mind-splitting headaches. But when we kissed my senses recognized him but my mind still doesn't remember him because of the spell."
You looked back at your friends who all still had confused looks on their faces. Celina's expression was slightly less confused due to her knowledge of how convoluted magic and sorcery could be. Everyone else was more or less looking at you like you were insane.
"Okay you all must have questions," you took a deep breath and leaned back onto the table.
Pavitr raised his hand.
"Yes, Pav," you smiled.
"Okay," he started with an unsure draw in his tone. "Don't take this the wrong way but…how do you know that your 'pheromonal connection' isn't the sole reason for your attraction to each other? Like if you guys didn't have it, would you two even be in love?"
"We questioned that too," Peter responded. "Very early on actually. Finds out the shared DNA makes already established bonds stronger and will adapt to that if the relationship were to change. So like friends become best friends, siblings get the twin instincts," he looked at you, "and lovers become…"
You smiled softly back at him as love flashed in both of your eyes for a moment before you turned back to your friends.
"We went back to Alchemax for a project for our junior year bio class, but it was really an excuse to learn more about our connection," you explained. "Plus, I had a crush on him way before I even got close enough to him to even feel the pull."
"And vice versa," Peter added.
"Okay, I have a question," Harry started with a worried look on his face. "You said one of the bad guys was my dad in another universe, does that mean my dad…?"
You shook your head. "No, there's no guarantee."
"But there's a possibility?" It came out more like a statement.
"To be fair, In Peter 3's universe Gwen is dead," Peter stated. “So that’s a start of the differences and inconsistencies.”
"Huh?!" Gwen exclaimed with wide-blue eyes.
"I don't even exist in the other two," you added. "At least, I don't think so."
"That's terrifying! Wait, am I gonna die?!"
"Likely, not," you added. "Gwen 2 was dating Peter 3 Spiderman."
"Wait, I dated Peter? Ew! No offense, Parker, but I don't see you like that," Gwen explained.
"Trust me, none taken," Peter agreed.
"Wait, so who was Peter 2 with," Ned asked.
"Um…" Peter rubbed the back of his head nervously. "MJ."
"MJ?" Cindy asked in disbelief.
"I think I'd rather eat dirt," MJ replied.
"Trust me, likewise," Peter agreed again.
"Either way," you interjected. "Nothing in their universe is guaranteed to happen in ours. They don't even have the Avengers in their universes. According to Peter, the other Peter's didn't even look like him or each other."
Celina hesitantly raised her hand.
"Yeah, Celi?" Peter asked.
"You said you're Ben and May Parker's nephew that they raised," she looked at Peter as she started, a sheepish tone in her voice. "That means we must have grown up together."
Peter nodded. "Raised like siblings. You were like a younger sister to me even though you're four months older than me. You would celebrate your birthday in August because it was cheaper for us to have a shared birthday party rather than separate ones. Everyone thought you were an August baby like me but really you're an April baby which, you would say, astrologically, is the reason we got along so well."
Celina smiled softly back at him. "I suspected when I found out your last name was Parker, but I thought it was a mere coincidence. I'm sorry I can't remember you."
"No," Peter shook his head in disapproval. "I'm sorry I made you forget me."
"So that means you knew Ned too right?" MJ started.
"Yeah," Peter nodded again. "Best friends since the third grade."
"Is that why you came to the coffee shop a lot?" Ned asked.
"Yeah. It was a sense of normalcy," Peter explained.
There was a moment of tense silence as everyone processed everything that was going on. Harry glanced over at Nika who was leaning silently against the table.
"You've been really quiet over there," Harry said to her. “Nothing to say?”
"Listen," she started with a sigh. "We were all part of the blip. Either you disappeared for five years or you didn't. I'm just not surprised by anything anymore. None of this really applies to me because I met (Y/N) in Malibu in rehab."
"Wait, you were in rehab?" Harry asked, looking at you.
"Yeah, if your superhero-known-to-be-invincible dad died in space by sacrificing his life for humanity, and your boyfriend sacrificed his identity for humanity that caused you to have mind-splitting migraines and dreams of a guy without a face and it left an empty hole in your soul, and you lost most of your crime-fighting family, and you were just crowned the next CEO and Owner of a company so large that it's responsible for majority of the technology in the world and is expected to make mega weapons to keep our world safe from aliens, wizards and robots then you'd probably have a hysterical psychotic break and turn to narcos, alcohol and make a bunch of bad decisions too."
"Fair," Harry replied softly after a moment of processing the longest sentence you ever spoke.
"So…" Miles started, looking at Nika. "You knew they were Spiderman and Silk?"
"Yep," Nika confirmed. "She told me she was Silk long ago. Figured out Parker was Spiderman when she called him an Avenger and I didn't recognize his face."
"You cornered me!" You defended.
"Mhm," Nika replied with doubt written all over her face and in her tone.
After a moment, all of you fell silent again and their air was thick with something that wasn't tension but was filled with anticipation of sorts. Your friends looked at one another as if they were speaking telepathically or waiting for someone to address the elephant in the room.
You knew what it was right away.
"Okay, for one," you started. "No we don't lay eggs, We can't talk to spiders or summon an army of spiders, we aren't venomous, and no if we ever had offspring, they wouldn't eat me. Or Peter."
“Tha-...That’s six things,” Peter softly said, which caused you to stick your tongue out at him.
"Do you shoot webs out of your ass?" Gwen blurted with her whole chest.
Both you and Peter blinked rapidly in response as you processed the nature of the question.
"Gwen?!" Cindy scolded her with a flabbergasted expression.
"What?" Gwen asked defensively. "It's a valid question."
"It's a little outta pocket," Miles added before turning to the two of you with a wondrous look. "But do you though?"
"No," you replied quickly with offense or defense in your tone.
"I've had nightmares though," Peter added, speaking to no one in particular before he looked up at everyone. “We’re sorry we kept all of this from you.”
“You know everything I said about Spiderman before was a joke right,” Cindy asked gingerly.
“Don’t worry about it,” Peter replied, motioning a hand in the air.
“Like, I was totally kidding,” She added with a red face. “I think Thor is hotter anyway. Aish, I mean-”
“Cindy, really it’s fine,” Peter smiled. “I get it. We don’t have to do this.”
“Okay, great,” she sighed and looked down at her hands shyly.
“So…” Harry started looking up at the both of you. "Are you gonna show us your cool abilities or what?"
Social Media was a suspool. There were arguments up and down Twitter about who Spiderman should and shouldn’t be with. You didn't even realize the Spiderman and Silk fanbase ran so large in the first place since you were really heroes only confined to New York City.
Peter avoided social media at all costs. You on the other hand, were neck deep into it.
You learned that there were four types of stans: the SpideyStark shippers, the Iron Spider Shippers, the Stark is Silk theorist and the possessive antis. And they were all at war with each other.
SpideyGworl616:
I think SpideyStark makes sense! Just because Spidey and Silk are always together doesn't mean they're dating!
SilkenWebs3000:
How could he do that to Silk?! Did they break up??? OMG my OTP 😭😭😭💔
WorldWideWeavers:
Guys, (Y/N) Stark is literally Silk! Think about it, it makes sense!
SpiderQueen143:
He's not stupid enough to date that whore Silk and he would never date that bitch (Y/N) Stark 🙄 He could do so much better than that.
"How does it feel to be dating a whore and bitch?" you asked Peter amusingly not looking up from your phone.
You both were lying on your bed at the compound. You were wearing a science pun shirt that you borrowed (stole) from Peter and a pair of black drawstring short shorts. Peter was lying next to you wearing a Star Wars tee and a pair of plaid pajama pants with his stark specs on.
You didn't catch the way he looked over at you as if he were offended (which he was). "You're not a whore or a bitch," he stated seriously. "Stop reading those."
"Why?" You asked, still not looking up from your phone. "They're kinda funny honestly."
You honestly found most of it amusing but Peter didn't appreciate the way some people spoke about the both of you. Especially you. Even on patrols, people were questioning both of you about your relationship and the infamous kiss in the Avenger’s Tower parking lot. He did admit that you handle it pretty well though. When someone would ask ‘Hey Silk, how do you feel about Spidey cheating on you?’ You would respond with ‘Who said he’s cheating on anyone? What he does in his personal life is his business and his business alone.’ Which made it vague enough to satisfy most people who asked. But even after a while, Peter could tell that even you were getting annoyed by all of the questions, comments, and two cents when you were just trying to be a neighborhood hero.
It reminded him of when his identity was first revealed and how you got the worst end of the stick when it came to everything.
Peter let out a sigh. "Are you amused or are you doom-scrolling?"
You paused and looked up at him wondrously as you noticed his tone was getting more and more bothered as the conversation went on. "Petey, love," you scooted closer to him and laid your head on his extended arm. "Are you okay?"
He glanced back over at you and turned himself on his side to face you. "Yeah, I'm sorry. It just makes me upset when people talk bad about you like that. I know it shouldn't bother me this much especially when you're not upset by it but…when my identity was first revealed, people talked about us a lot, obviously. You got harassed by tons of people because you were known as 'Spiderman's girlfriend' or 'Spiderman's…'' he trailed off for a moment as his jaw clenched at the memories of how wrongly you were treated and the labels they would pin on you. "I just don't want you to go through that again."
Memories of the words Spiderman’s slut and Spidey’s whore from Mysterio extremists rang through Peter’s head. Or how the media painted him to be some type of mind-controlling villain. He could take all the shots thrown at him but when it came to you? He knew you could take care of yourself and that you were more than capable of defending yourself, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t hesitate to help in defending your honor. There were times when he tried to distance himself from you so you wouldn’t get caught up in being a victim of tabloids and media outlets, but you never left his side. You even scolded him when he found out what he was trying to do.
You smile and peck his lips softly. "You're cute when you're protective. Well…you’re always cute, but especially when you’re pouty like this."
Peter’s eyes softened as he looked into yours. “I just…you mean everything to me. I don’t want this to affect you in a negative way.”
"And here I thought, you would be worried about your identity being revealed again," you smiled. "Instead you're worried about my reputation. Pete, if the public wants to label me Spiderman's slut then I don't care. If they want to paint me out as the homewrecker of Spidey and Silk, let them." You stroke his cheek with your thumb gently. "You know that quote from Christian Bale? 'If you have a problem with me, text me and if you don't have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me'. I'm damned if I give a damn what other people outside of my loved ones say about me or to me. As long as I'm with you, all of the shit they throw at me is all worth it. I'd scream from the rooftops that I, (Y/N) Stark aka Silk, am in love with Spiderman."
Peter's eyes softened at your words and he laid his hand over yours that was on his cheek and kissed your palm. Your heart fluttered and you leaned in and kissed his lips softly and he kissed you back. He visibly and audibly relaxed which caused you to let out a soft giggle. You pulled back after a moment.
“Better?” you asked.
“Not quite,” he replied, looking at you. “I’m still like...really upset. I think I need more to help me feel better.”
“Oh?” You giggled and moved yourself to straddle yourself on top of him as he laid back on the bed. You leaned down and pecked his lips. “How about now?”
“You’re getting warmer,” He smirked.
You hummed and kissed his nose, forehead, temple, cheek, jaw, chin, and everywhere else on his face that wasn’t his lips which caused him to let out a warm laugh. You leaned your head on his after a moment and cradled his face in your hands.
“How about now,” You asked in a soft voice.
He leaned up and pressed his lips to yours deeply and you reciprocated the action. His hands find their way to your waist as he pulls your body closer to his and wraps his arms around you in a sweet embrace to match with the passionate kiss you both were sharing. Your heart fluttered and face burned at the action. After a moment he pulled away slowly.
“Much better,” he whispered before he rolled you both over so he was on top as he kissed you deeply.
Peter had the day off from school and work which was a rare occasion. He decided to spend his morning visiting Aunt May and Uncle Ben's grave
Celina and Ned had invited him over to hang out and get to know more about the time that they don't remember having with him.
Honestly, he felt like a huge weight was lifted from his shoulders now that his friends knew the whole truth about the both of you and that they didn't think anything different of the two of you. Gwen and Harry still playfully bullied Peter which was a good indicator. Cindy was a little distant at first but she came back around after a couple of days of processing.
Now you both had to deal with everyone sending SpideySilk Memes in the groupchat. Your favorite had to be the stock photo meme with the guy walking with his girlfriend and he's looking back at another woman, with spiderman as the guy, silk as the girlfriend and you as the girl he's looking at.
You insisted to Peter that things would blow over eventually and that you both could go back to normal and learn from your mistakes. Nika was still investigating who leaked the video. It was harder than it seemed to find the person who did it.
Peter was glad no one heard the conversation you both had during that whole moment. And he was glad that everyone in the Avengers Tower had to sign NDAs upon hire about revealing the personal details about any Avengers. So if anyone in the Tower knew Peter was Spiderman, they couldn't say anything legally. Luckily, most times he showed up in full suit.
Peter decided to skateboard his way to Nedlina's apartment to keep lowkey. Swinging in suit while you both were still a hot topic wasn't the greatest idea right now and he even had to double-check before entering his own apartment. He settled with landing on the roof and sneaking through the roof doorway and down to his floor a few times when he was feeling extra paranoid that day.
What a week it had been.
When he arrived at the apartment complex he walked inside and went over to the elevator that was fixed by himself using Stark tech that you let him borrow. The landlord was so thankful that he even paid Peter more than he expected to get paid for it (which was nothing really). He was really doing a favor but the landlord insisted he take the money. When he stepped into the elevator he heard a meow and little pitter-patter footsteps. When his eyes followed the sounds he saw Loki the cat, who approached him. He smiled as the cat trilled and rubbed its side against his jeans and began purring.
“Hello, Loki,” Peter greeted.
The dark shadow of fur meowed in response and climbed up onto his shoulder and made himself comfortable. Peter smiled softly as the elevator doors closed and began moving upward.
“Does your parents know that you’re down here?” He reached up and petted the cat who rubbed its head against his hand. “No worries, I’m sure Celina won’t scold you too harshly.”
When the elevator stopped at the eleventh floor, Peter made his way to the apartment down the hall. When he arrived the door opened before he could knock. Celina stood in the doorway wearing an oversized tee shirt that he recognized as Ned’s, a pair of biker shorts, and her hair up in a messy bun with her wavy bangs framing her face. She smiled at a frozen Peter who had his fist in the air to get ready to knock on the door.
“Peter!”Celina chimed. “It’s good to see you!”
“Hello, Celi,” He smiled and lowered his arm.
Loki took the time to jump down from Peter’s shoulder and rub against Celina’s legs.
“Mhm, trying to butter me up so you don’t get in trouble I see, you little troublemaker,” she said looking down at the bundle of fur and petting his back with her foot. “You’re lucky you’re cute.”
Peter chuckled as he walked in, took his shoes off by the door, and set his skateboard next to his shoes. Celina hugged him and then led him into the living room area as Thor came running out to greet Peter as well.
“Ned, babe,” Celina sang. “Peter’s here.”
Ned walked from the hallway and smiled.”Hey, dude!”
“Hey, Ned,” Peter smiled. “How’s it going?”
“Pretty good,” He replied as they did a mini handshake that was the start of their famous secret handshake. “I always feel like there’s more to it when we do that.”
“There is,” Peter said. “But It’s okay. One day you’ll remember it.”
“We ordered pizza,” Celina called from the kitchen. “It should be here soon. Would you like anything to drink?”
“I’m okay for now,” Peter called back and sat on the couch with Ned.
Celina came over and joined Peter and Ned on the couch with a mug of tea that read “witch’s brew” on the front of it. Peter sat on the other couch adjacent to the one the couple was on. The cat decided they wanted to snuggle up to him.
After a little bit, the pizza arrived. As Ned flipped through the channels on the TV to find something to watch, Celina was grabbing plates and napkins while Peter went to get the pizza from the delivery guy. When he came back he saw Celina looking at her phone with a concerned look on her face as she slowly brought her hand up to cover her mouth gaped open as her hazel eyes went wide.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Peter asked as he approached her and set the pizza down on the counter.
Her eyes flashed up to him with a look that worried him.
“Hey…guys…?” Ned asked with concern in his voice.
Peter walked over to the living room with Celina following close behind. Ned was standing up in front of the couch with wide eyes and a concerned expression on his face. When Peter looked at the screen it was the Daily Bugle with J. Jonah Jameson on the screen.
“J. Jonah Jameson here and this just in on the Daily Bugle,” The older man said on the screen. “(Y/N) Stark, so-called America’s Sweetheart, is now caught up in yet another scandal. Earlier this week she was caught in 4K messing around with none other than our favorite criminal psychopath, Spiderman, which took the entire world by storm that not even Thor could control. Since then neither party has spoken out publicly about the incident as if they are trying to pretend that it never even happened. Way to be an accomplice to the Vigilante with your status, Stark. You can’t blame her though, she’s the daughter of the late Tony Stark who was Iron Man, so it is no surprise that she would be fadoodling with the likes of some miscreant like Spiderman. But what am I doing here talking about old news? Well Let me tell you, folks, we received here a video of America’s so-called Sweetheart being anything but!”
A video clip appeared on the side of the news reporter’s head and the clip made Peter’s eyes go wide and his heart drop to his stomach. Celina and Ned both looked at Peter with fearful expressions on their faces. Peter felt lightheaded as he watched the clip of you in a very compromising situation. The pace of his heart picked up, the feeling of his body going numb and his throat tightened.
He was pretty sure he was going to faint.
As the clip continued to play, J. Jonah Jameson continued. “It seems that the secret double life of (Y/N) Stark has been revealed. Can’t keep silent now can you?”
“Oh my god…” was all Celina could say.
“I-I…” Peter stuttered. “I-I…need to go…”
He needed to make sure that you were okay and that you were safe because he knew that in a matter of minutes, you would be back in the place where he feared you would be again years ago when he was exposed to the world.
And now something similar was happening to you.
