I let my long blue hair down as I slashed and stabbed. I managed to take down about three outriders, Proxima Midnight landing in the battlefield as Steve rang in on the intercom piece.

"Lily, get to the palace. Now." I didn't question it, I knew Vision was in the palace...but wasn't Wanda there? Wakanda nonsense was this? (I couldn't resist😂)

I quickly got the answer to my question as I turned, Wanda quickly using her powers to grab the giant blades aiming for my head, slicing through several ranks of outriders. I sighed and gave her a quick smile, flipping over as I sprinted to the palace.

I glanced back for a short moment, and nearly cried out at the sight of Wanda on the ground, Proxima Midnight holding her staff to her throat. I let out an enormous breath I didn't know I had been holding as I saw Nat(her new blond hair looks actually nice, but I preferred the red hair😉) and Okoye come out and start battling.

I was almost to the palace when I heard a loud crash above me, spotting Vision and Corvius Glave smash through a window and topple into the forest. I managed to get a glimpse of Vision's forehead...that still had the power stone in it.

I groaned, wondering why Shuri didn't take it out already. I tapped my earpiece twice, activating it and calling in Steve. "Rogers, get to the forest to the east of the palace. Vision emergency." I could tell Steve was struggling, trying not to curse, but instead he sighed and responded with a quick "Going."

So now I had two concerns: check on Shuri and Vision. My feet shuffled in both directions, confused on where to go. I sighed, building up speed and dashing up the side of the building, comforted by the sight of Steve running into the forest.

My only words to Steve: "Steven Grant Rogers, do not, I said, do not, die, understand me?" I heard his laugh over the intercom and knew he had heard me, as he responded with a hearty: " Yes, ma'am!" I managed to scale the palaces' many turrets and ledges, climbing in carefully through the shredded glass window.

Shuri lay on the ground, arm bleeding badly, with her unbreakable dagger lying a few feet away, the hilt of leather shredded but the blade of vibranium still intact. I managed to send some of my healing essence into her, closing up her cut and stopping the blood flow, but feeling my energy ebb a touch.

Shuri's coffee brown eyes flew open as she glowed a soft gold from my healing, and she immediately grabbed my arm. "V-Vision! He needs help, one of Thanos's men got him..." I quickly hushed her and nodded. "Yes, I know, I'm heading over there, I just needed to heal you first." Shuri nodded and grabbed the headpiece to warn her brother about Corvius, just as I headed towards the forest. I saw a giant purple burst into the sky, only hurrying my pace.

I managed to kick my super speed in for the second time today, ebbing my energy even faster. I raced in, seeing that my help was not needed, as Vision had managed to spear Corvus Glavè straight through the heart, with his own weapon. Steve was laying on the ground, appearing to have been in danger about a minute ago.

"Oh, you guys have all the fun." I fake pouted. Steve got up, dusting the dirt off his pants and retrieved his shield. "If you call fun being nearly stabbed through the heart, then yes." I rolled my eyes, sheathing the dagger I had pulled out just moments earlier.

Wanda rushed into the forest, embracing Vision and I. "Thanks, Lily." I smiled, trying to forget the fact that one year ago, when she first arrived, I had a little feeling that I knew her, but I didn't realize it until I heard the fact that she was Sokovian as well, quickly finding out that we were cousins. My thoughts flicked back to Pietro, remembering his horrid death. I only had one person as close to me as Pietro had been to Wanda, and that was Peter Parker.

Deep, mesmerizing caramel coffee orbs for eyes, filled with innocence, deep dimples that I wanted to pinch, and that one damned lock of hair that would not stay straight on his head, instead choosing to hang over his head, making it a major point of me playing with it.

We had known each other for years(three years)longer than him getting "the Stark Internship" due to us both going to Midtown High, and being decathletes. My crush started developing about one year after I met him, leaving our friendship awkward at first but adapting. ESPECIALLY after he met/saw Liz. But we made it through.

-flashback-

He hid his persona as Spider-Man from me first, but then I was waiting for Peter in his room to work on the chemistry project(in more ways than one) when I heard the window open behind me. I tensed up, as I was waiting on Peter's bed, and I couldn't see the window.

I snapped my fingers and my knives came into existence around my waist, along with my half-mask of twisted blue and silver that covered the lower half of my face, leaving me grabbing a dagger and leaping to my feet. I felt something (or someone ) drop behind me, surprising me and disarming me, twisting me around and keeping my arms in a twist, webbing up my wrists as I stared at my holder.

Spider-Man? What was he doing in Peter's room? I couldn't make out his eyes through the mask, but I thought I saw his eyes widen. "Who are you? Why are you in this room?"
I rolled my eyes. "Oh, where do you live, under a rock? Tony Stark just announced the newest member of the Avengers..." I managed to summon a dagger to my upturned hand.

"Assassin." I ripped through the webs, stunning the bug-boy, and planted my knee on his chest, twisting so he was planted on the bed, my dagger at his throat with his wrists above his head with my hand.

I saw his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed deeply. He focused on my heterochromatic eyes, one ice blue and one Irish green. I could definitely tell that his eyes widened and he tried to free his wrists, but I only held tighter, lest he try to rip off my mask.

I decided to do the only thing that came to my mind in this situation: take off his mask. That was the most humiliating thing that could happen to a superhero, so I decided to do it. I sheathed my dagger into my belt, still holding his wrists tightly. I grabbed the lower part of his mask, and felt him start to struggle under my grip.

I rolled my eyes and pulled the mask off, my hands falling to my side in an instant. The face under the mask...was Peter!? He stood up, and I managed to mask my emotions. He looked into my eyes with equal parts fury and nervousness. "That enough? I'll need you to explain why you're here." Instead of answering I went over to his bedroom door and shut it calmly, along with the window.

I could feel Peter's eyes on me as I moved, and then I came back to standing in front of him. I sighed. "What you're about to see goes to no one else's eyes or ears. Understood?" He nodded, questions beginning to fill his eyes.

I tapped twice on the bond of the mask and my blue hair, the mask slowly beginning to retreat. I sheathed my daggers, just in time as they vanished. I looked straight into Peter's hazel eyes as my mask completely retreated, leaving my face the ever-familiar map of Lily Winters's, one that Peter knew well.

He gasped, unable to hide it. Instead of backing up or not answering, he placed his digits on my cheekbones, gently tracing them. I flinched away at first, but melted into his touch. I smiled at him softly. "You didn't see that coming?(oh god sad reference no😭), I said, my Sokovian accent seeping into the words.
