As I'm walking home I hear some fighting. Stay out of it, stay out of it, ugh I can't. I grab a crowbar and walk into the alley. Ready to beat some sicko's ass. "What's going on here?" I ask. "This is no place for a pretty girl like you." I smack him with the crowbar, he stumbles back and I tiger sweep him, he falls back onto the ground "T-thank you. Fine c-citizen." It's Peter. I can already tell by the stutter. 

"Fine citizen? Really?" I shake my head, "Okay, well you've got things handled. I should head home." I drop the crowbar and walk out. "Wait!" Peter, Spider-Boy, says following me. "What?" I ask, turning around. "I-I was wondering if you wanted to go out for ice cream with Wanda, Pietro and Peter." he says, frantically glancing around. It'd be so obvious that we're talking about secret stuff if someone was watching. I roll my eyes at his paranoid self. 

"Yeah, sure, I'm off work at 3pm, no work at Stark Industries. Sure." I nod. "Uh great, I-I mean Peter, Peter will meet you at Avenger Tower. T-then he, Wanda and Pietro can walk to the ice cream shop together." he says, I nod, "Cool. See Peter then." I take a different route home, ensuring that Spider-Boy doesn't follow me home. I climb up the red fire escape and open my room window. Slipping in and locking the window behind me. I get ready for bed and climb into the blue sleeping bag.

"PETERRR, WANDAAAA, PIETROOO" I yell as I walk out of the elevator. "What the hell are you yelling about? And can you stop yelling?" Tony says, stumbling a bit. Irritated. Either he's normal or he's hung over. Probably hung over. "Did you have a party Tony? Did you skip my invitation?" I ask, "You're 14, 15, how old are you?" Tony asks, sipping his drink in the mug. 

"Not here to answer questions. I'm here to get ice cream with Wanda, Peter, and Pietro." I say, "Didn't know that you are the type to get ice cream so casually." Tony teases, I raise an eyebrow "Well I'd assume you'd make a deal over ice cream, like a meeting but in a casual setting." he adds. "Good. That's what I aim for. WANDAA, PETERR, PIETROO" I yell, staring Tony in the eye. 

"Ready to go?" Wanda asks, excited for ice cream. "Thanks for the money, Tony!" Pietro shouts out, raising Tony's wallet as the elevator doors close. Peter's mortified while Wanda and I laugh. "So which ice cream place are we going to?" Wanda asks. "Morningstar's. They have great ice cream." Peter says, "Great. Let's go there."

Wanda, Pietro, Peter and I walk to Morningstar's. Above the door was a purple sign that read "Morningstar's" there's LED lights surrounding the sign, representing tiny stars I imagine.
We walk in and are greeted with a galaxy theme. Blue, purple, and pink walls. There are star and planet shaped lights hanging from the ceiling. There were colorful stars painted on the ceiling.

It was...magical. Felt like you were engulfed in the galaxy. Just floating in space.

The kids were enchanted by the stars in the ice cream shop since you can never see the stars in the New York polluted sky.

Loud because children are laughing, they're so happy, the parents are smiling fondly at their small offspring. Like Jay smiles at Ava. Lovingly.

Sometimes I wish Ava could have a normal childhood. Playing with friends, having fun with her parents. Cam tries hard to give her a somewhat resemblance of a normal childhood but you can't really do that in our position. 

Cam didn't have to take his sister and try to start a new life with her. He could've given her to someone else who can care for her but he chose to take care of her. Now he's trying to give her the best life he can. We all are.

We grabbed our ice cream and sat at a table. "I love the galaxy theme!" Wanda said, "Yeah, me too. It's a nice escape." I say.

"You remember that message Peter sent?" Pietro asks, "Yeah!" I probably look clueless because Wanda clues me in. "Peter accidentally messaged Nat asking how to treat a knife wound. He meant to text Ned but he messaged Nat instead." She says. Really. He had text someone. Couldn't he Google?

"Easy. Wash your hands, stop the bleeding by applying gentle pressure with a clean bandage or cloth. Then clean the wound, rinse the wound with clear water for five to 10 minutes. Next, apply an antibiotic.  Cover the wound. Change the dressing. And as always, watch for signs of infection." I say. Bucky taught me this when I was 8.

They look at me like I'm an alien with 4 heads and paws. "How do you know this?" Wanda asks. "Experience..." I trail off before eating some ice cream. It slowly melts in my mouth.

Peter's phone rings, "Hello?" He answers. There's a long pause as Peter listens and we all look at Peter, trying to read his many facial expressions.

"We need to go. Now." Peter says. Those 5 words can send anyone into panic. They can ruin lives. Or they can save lives. It's just a coin toss. Who lives and who doesn't. 

"There's a robbery happening at Keepsafe bank." Well it appears the coins may not be kept safe for long. What a great joke. "You should call Tony." Pietro says to Peter. I run out of the store. Keepsafe bank. A few blocks away. Wanda and Pietro follow me. I have no idea why I'm running towards a robbery but I am. I have no idea what I'll do once I get there, but I'll figure something out. Like always, I figure it out. 

People try to be heroes. They want their name in the headlines. They want to be acknowledged. But the problem is, they try to be heroes but they have no idea what to do. Sometimes it'll work and you'll hear stories like "Man saves woman from falling off bridge" and other times you'll hear stories like "2 dead. Witness says 'He tried to save her but fell to his doom'"

Apparently someone wanted to be a hero because when we arrived. There were 4 dead, one of the robbers had a gun to a man's head. The bank tellers, or whatever you want to call them, we're gagged and tied up with duct tape and zip ties. 

"W-we should wait for M-Mr. Stark and everyone else." Peter said. It'll be too late by the time they arrive. Plus, Tony isn't my boss. There are probably 5 armed robbers in there. 16 hostages. This can quickly turn into a mass casualty. Is it worth it to risk my life to possibly help some people? This could all go so wrong so quickly. Pick your fights carefully. 

Ah, fuck it. I need a game plan. I have no weapons, there are 5 armed robbers with guns. If I run in there I'm doomed. Possibly. 

Wanda, Pietro, and Peter are out of my sights. Probably dealing with civilians while waiting for the Avengers to get here. Lets hope this works. I run into the building tackling one of the armed robbers, knocking their gun out of their hands. The robber let go of the man he had a gun to, he's shocked. I have an advantage.

The hostages are looking at me like I'm out of my mind. Which I probably am. I quickly run over to the gun and pick it up. 4-1, I'm outnumbered. I'm trained and they're not. 3 of them are holding their guns sideways. "It's 3 to 1," 4 to 1 you dumbass. "You know, we could use a pretty girl like you." One of them says. "The bases always get so dirty." another adds. "Well hopefully you keep your prison cells tidier than you keep your hideout." I say, "Oh sweetheart, that won't happe-" 

A blur of red and gold flies into the room and knocks 3 of the robbers to the ground. The other takes their shot and fires at me, I dodge behind a desk. That was close. Tony shoots the guy's gun out of his hand and I tackle the robber. 

Once the robbers are dealt with I receive a telling off from Tony, "What the hell were you doing?!" he yells. I'm not dealing with this. "YOU JUST RAN IN THERE" I sigh, "Tony. Stop." I say. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU RAN INTO A BANK WITH 5 ARMED ROBBERS" I'm getting annoyed now. "I had it under control since your team was taking so long." I pick up my backpack. "I swear someday you're going to get yourself killed."

At 5:30pm we returned back to Avenger Tower and parted ways. Wanda, Peter, and Pietro to the tower and me, somewhere else.

Business is slowing down at Two Stories. Less customers, less purchases.

Who am I kidding? It's New York, big brands sell well, local businesses die out.

A/N: Wow, this chapter is looong 1,700 words.

I'm sorry this chapter took so long! Please accept my hug apologies *Hugs*

I've been stressed and was experiencing some writers block.

I thought describing an ice cream shop would be easier.. Another thanks to XD_eva_DX and Gina99534 for helping me with this chapter. I love you both and I'm so glad you're both my friends <3

Is it bad that I already know treatments of injuries? Such as, burns, puncture wounds, and scrapes. I knew the treatments before I even had Wattpad.

Alrighty, there's Chapter 8!

Tell me what you think about it.

What do you think will happen?

What do you want to happen?

I love you all, thank you for reading and leaving feedback.

Have an amazing day/night! <3
I'm going to go eat some yummy chocolate 🍫
