Chapter 115 - Shock, Awe and Reunions Part 3

He didn't have time to react before it ploughed into his body and he once again found his body on the floor. What confused him was the fact his spider sense didn't go off. 'What the hell?' A bundle of black hair covered his face as his assailant, who he could now tell was Female, crushing him in a hug, as well as the fact she was probably younger than him, by about a year or two?

His mind racked itself for answer of who this was, seeing as all she had done was hug him so far, but before he could come to a definite conclusion he had to let out a groan, it felt like his body was being crushed by a machine as the hug continued.

*Urgh* "Hahaha. I think you should give him some room to breathe, Talon." He could just hear the laugh from Felicia as she stood to the side as the pressure slowly started to let up and the body on top of him slowly got off.

Blinking his eyes in confusion, it took a few seconds for them to readjust to the light after the sudden assault, but after they did he slowly turned to the new entrant. Eyes widening in surprise no words seemed to come out of his mouth as he looked up at Laura standing above him.

A happy smile was on her lips, her hair slightly obscuring her eyes as she starred unblinkingly at him. Wearing training gear, with a small amount of sweat on her brow, although she was tired Peter could tell she was very excited.

Not waiting another second her hand shot out to help him up. Peter didn't think before his hand came up and took it. Laura pulled him up the smile never leaving her lips. Peter couldn't help it as a small smile came to his lips as well, he had been searching all over for her before he left and here she was thankfully safe and sound.

Looking up and down her body a few times, he could see that she looked a lot healthier than the last time he has seen her, it seems she hadn't been on the street for a while now. 'But why was she here?'

"Talon?" Peter finally found some words, a bit jumbled still, those were the first words that came from his lips as he sent an inquisitive look over to Felicia. She let out another giggle as she looked over before explaining. "Just a little nickname I came up with after becoming her friend. Didn't want to keep calling her Laura and Kinney just didn't seem to work.

Still a bit bemused by what was happening, all he could do from those words was give a small nod as he turned back to Laura who was still starring intently at him. He could swear he saw her eyes flash black a few times, but pushed it out of his head as he dropped his hand on her hair and gave it a ruffle or two.

"Already got yourself another friend huh, Laura? Told you it wouldn't take long." If he didn't know better Peter would have said her smile turned a little shy at his actions, but he wasn't too sure. When it seemed that she didn't have anything else to say Peter finally dropped his hand and pulled her into a hug.

If Laura was surprised she didn't seem it as she returned it in a second. Leaning in a bit closer Peter spoke into her ears so just she could hear him. "I'm glad you're safe Laura, after you disappeared I was worried." She didn't say anything in reply, but she did nuzzle her head into his shoulder just a bit more.

They were so distracted in their own little world that Peter was surprised when a new voice spoke up. With a bit of surprise and c.o.c.kiness that couldn't be hidden, Tony Stark spoke up from the kitchen as he looked at the situation, Clint and Natasha standing close to him.

"What is it with that Nerd look that catches all the chicks? Is it the mop of brown hair or the meek look he has?" Without even looking up Peter replied off the top of his head. "Even with all that money and the fancy cars, plus the armour that is obviously compensating for something, the black hair and rugged beard just doesn't work for most women."

There was silence in the room for a full second at the quick response before Clint clutched his stomach and started to bust a gut. "Hahahaha! I see why you like him Nat, kids got skills. Hahaha." He was almost toppling on the ground as Peter finally broke his hug off from Laura and caught sight of Natasha, standing a bit in front of Tony.

Said man had an affronted look on his face as he finally responded. "Hey kid, I'll let you know the chicks dig the beard, and the suit... and my ruggedly handsome looks. I'll have you know I could get 3 super models in my bed before the night if I put my mind to it."

Just as he finished uttering the words the small snicker coming from Felicia alerted him to the phone pointed his way. Stopping dead in his tracks the look of dread that came over his face as he looked at her, really just made Peter pity him.

"You didn't." The question went unsaid but Felicia just grew a bigger smile as she touched her chin. "Ohh, I don't know I just might of. And I know the perfect person to show." If it was possible Tony got even whiter at the words.

"P-p-please don't show that to Pepper." Felicia slowly turned off the record function and pocketed her phone as Tony watched on in complete silence. "I don't know, I'll think about it." Tony felt a shiver go down his spine as he thought of ways to survive the fall out that was about to hit him. He didn't know when, he didn't know where, but he had to prepare himself.

As Tony reconsidered if he was going to survive the incoming apocalypse Peter and Natasha had now locked eyes. No words were said between the two as Peter slowly made his way over. Laura didn't say anything and neither did Felicia, though her eyes did peel in suspicion at the interaction between the two.

Finally stopping before her after a few seconds, before she could say anything to him, Peter sprung forwards and like Laura pulled her into a hug. That really stopped the room short, everyone's eyes went wide as they saw the show of affection. Laura's eyes flashed black as she watched the scene while a small frown made it to Felicia's face, before it smoothed out as she regain her composure. 'Well...that is unexpected. I didn't think they were....that close'

But the biggest reactions came from Clint and Tony. Both stopped what they were doing and looked on in complete shock. They had know Nat, for a while now and they had never seen her hug someone like that.

Out of everything they had seen today this was the biggest shock! They could only imagine Steve's face if he were currently there.

Tony' couldn't help but mumble to the stupefied Clint next to him. "Do you think I should dye my hair brown and cut my beard....I mean my god." Clint wasn't sure what to say. "This kid must have the Devil's....No I feel like I shouldn't finish that sentence." He was quiet for another second before he just let his real thoughts out.

"What the f.u.c.k?!"

They were lucky they were only starring at Natasha's back as Peter hugged her, as they might have had a heart attack if they saw the beautiful smile that came to her lips at that moment.
