Chapter 10

Lily's POV

When we teleport back to the compound, dad pulls me to the side.

Strange: Lily, what Hela said back there-

Lily: Dad....its fine. I didn't believe any of it. She can't get to me.

Strange: I know its just...I had to make sure.

Lily: It's ok dad.

Tony: Ok well we had a long day so how does dinner sound?

Lily: I'm starving yes.

Suddenly Peter's phone buzzes.

Peter: Oh um, raincheck. I need to go meet someone. I'm gonna have dinner with them.

Tony: Who?

Peter: Oh uh Ned.

Tony: Ok have fun.

Peter rushes out the door and I look at him suspiciously.

Lily: Ok then....

-Time Skip-

Tony: Ok have fun at school. I swear if we have a mission and you jump in like yesterday, I will kill you.

Lily: Alright alright. Bye.

I turn to Peter.

Lily: Peter-

Peter: oh uh I gotta go talk to Ned. I'll see you around.

Lily: Oh....ok. See you after school.....

Peter runs off and I slowly walk to class.

After class while I'm walking out, I see Peter and MJ walking together. I walk up to them.

Lily: Uh hi guys.

Peter: Lily! Hi!

Lily: I thought you were gonna be with Ned.

Peter: Oh I was talking to MJ about our....our science project.

Lily: Oh...right well you do that. I'm gonna head back to the compound.

Peter: Yea. Bye.

When I arrive, Wanda and Nat were in the living room.

Wanda: Have a good day? Uhhh Lily what's wrong?

Lily: Huh? Nothing's wrong...

Nat: Ah ah ah. Something is wrong. I can see it on your face. Did you and Peter fight?

Lily: No its just that....he feels distant. He's been hanging out with this girl named MJ....

Wanda: You think he's cheating on you?

Lily: Did you read my mind?

Wanda: This didn't need mind reading to figure out.

Lily: Do you think he is?

Nat: I think its too early to call. Maybe wait and see.

Lily: Yea ok.....

-Time skip-

Tony: Ok Dinner is almost ready.

Peter: I'm gonna take a shower.

After Peter goes in, his phone buzzes. I pick it up and it's MJ. I was about to open it when Peter walks out.

Peter: Hey I forgot my- Lily!

He rushes over to me and grabs his phone.

Peter: W-what are you doing?

Lily: Someone texted you.....

Peter: It's nothing ok? Its just from social media or something.

He rushes back in and I stand there in utter shock.

Cap: What in the world was that?

Nat: Lily.

I look at her and she shakes her head.

Tony: Well he looked...suspicious.....

Bruce: Did something happen between you guys?

Lily: No...its nothing.

After Peter comes out, he's in quite formal clothes.

Tony: Wait....did I forget about prom? What did I forget?

Cap: You're all dressed up Peter.

Peter: Oh umm I just wanted to look nice. I'll be back in a few hours.

Thor: Hold your horses there boy. Look good for who?

Peter: Umm Ned.

Nat: Ned? Really?

Peter: I really gotta go. Bye.

He rushes out the door.

Nat: Lily, you're right. He's suspicious.

Tony: What do you mean? Fill me in.

Wanda: Peter has been distant to her and been hanging out with a different girl lately.

Bruce: Oh....oh no you don't think what I think you're thinking...

Cap: He would never....

Lily: I don't know. That text he had got...was from MJ too.

Cap: I'll talk to him Lily.

Strange: Talk to who.....

He walks in and we all go stiff.

Lily: NOTHING! Cap said he was going to talk to...Bucky.....about his arm....

Strange: His arm?

Lily: I was curious about his metal arm...

Strange: Ummm ok.

He slowly walks out of the room and we all relax.

Nat: If Strange knew, it would have been bad.

Tony: No kidding. Ok we're gonna watch the kid for one more day and then we'll confront him.

Wanda: Sounds good to me.

-Time Skip-

Nat: Hey we need everyone out here.

We all come out to the living room. Peter, yet again, is in a hurry.

Tony: Kid, you too.

Peter: Is it important?

Tony raises his eyebrow.

Tony: Kid, look at me. Am I important?

Peter: Uhh yeah of course.

Tony: Then yes, everything that comes out of my mouth will be important too. Give me your phone.

Peter: Mr Stark-

Tony: Peter.

Peter: I really need to get going.

Cap: Again?

Peter: Ned wanted me to come over and build his lego death star.

Nat: Really?

Ned comes out around the corner.

Nat: That's not what he told us.

Peter: Ned.....

Ned: Peter...you realize we built that months ago?

Peter: Uh- well yea but we were going to rebuild it, remember? You told me that at dinner yesterday.

Ned: We never met up anytime at all this week either...

Peter: Um-

Tony: Give me your phone Peter.

Peter hands it over and when Tony opens it, he rolls his eyes.

Tony: Unlock the phone.

Peter: No.

Tony: No? Oh I see. Then we can just ask the culprit herself. Miss MJ?

MJ comes out and Peter takes a breath in.

MJ: Hey Peter.

Peter: MJ.

MJ: Look I usually don't cooperate in these but.....sorry.

She hands Tony her phone and he opens their texts. He projects the texts onto the wall. There, texts read of them secretly meeting up and secretly dating behind my back.

MJ: Sorry Lily. I didn't know he had a girlfriend either.

I look at him with utter hatred.

Lily: You....you lied to me....

Tony: I'm ashamed of you, kid.

Thor: You messed up big time.

Peter: Lily please-

Lily: WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU!

Strange: Woahhh why are we screaming....

His voice trails off as he looks at the screen and he turns menacingly at Peter.

Strange: Mr Parker...a word.

Peter: I-

Lily: YOU-

Suddenly I feel dizzy. I clutch my head and as I fall to the floor, I feel Wanda catching me.

Wanda: Lily!

Tony: Lily wake up!
