........

Peter p.o.v

I swung back to the tower with Giselle in my arms.

Mr. Stark and Captain America are fighting wind right now, but as I looked over, he was taken out by Caps shield.

Bruce was taking on fire, but Mr. Stark is going over there now.

Captain America is running over to help Black Widow with water, who sadly was winning.

Ice was taken down by Clint quickly, while Giselle was being taken by the sphere.

I laid Giselle down back in the hospital room, where she curled in a ball.

A tear collected in my eye.

Seeing her vulnerable broke my heart.

I grabbed her hand.

"Please. Pretty please wake up. Please."

At least I asked nicely.

I let go of her hand and walked over to the side of the room that was blown off by the Wind dude.

I looked at her one last time before swinging over to Black widow, who was fighting Water.

Natasha's hair was plastered to her face as the girl splashed her with a new wave of water.

The girls arms and hands were outstretched, I used the opportunity to web her hands together.

While she was looking up towards me, I strung her up in a nearby tree.

She watched me swing away to fire, which was already been fighting for a while.

He turned and looked at me, but that was an idiot move because he was automatically shot in the back by Mr. Stark with a blue energy blast.

He collapsed to the ground as Clint tied him up.

I walked over to mr. Stark.

"Hey, earlier, I got the water girl, she's over there tied to the tree. Could you please help me get her into the basement?" I asked, somewhat embarrassed.

He nodded.

"Um, where did you say she was?" He asked.

I pointed to the tree.

"Right th-" I paused.

The water girl had gotten out, and as she was running, she looked back at me.

Using my super senses, focused one her face.

She winked at me.

I looked away and swung back to the girl I love.

***********************

Giselle was sitting up while Bruce was checking her for injuries.

I swung into the room and she smiled as she looked at me.

I smiled back.

She looked at Bruce who nodded.

Giselle walked over and hugged me, and I hugged back.

"I-I'm sorry Giselle, The water girl got away." I said.

Her smile wavered a bit, but nonetheless, she looked happy.

"It's Fine Peter. We all make mistakes, and we will catch her later." She said.

I nodded and looked at the ground.

"Hey," she said, grabbing my chin and pulling my face upward "look at me. We are going to be ok. The whole avengers team took down three, and I took down three by myself. We are going to catch her."

She smiled and hugged me again.

I looked around and saw everyone watching us.

We broke apart and she saw Natasha smirking at us.

She smirked back.

"Honestly Nat. It's like you think I don't see the was you look at Clint."

She narrowed her eyes at Giselle and everyone laughed.

****************************

At the dinner table, she ate.

She didn't eat much, but she still ate.

I mean, no one would touch the French fries, and since there was so much, she decided to eat some.

I mean, a few French fries are ok... right?

She doesn't usually eat before bed, she says that she throws up in her sleep.

She's come a long way since she first came here.

I'm proud of her.

Suddenly, she stood up.

"Hey, um, I'm not feeling too good. I'm going to go to bed." She said

She was looking kind of green...

She fell a bit, and I helped her back up in a straight position.

She is probably just not used to eating this late in the day.

I helped her to her room.

They all watched and smiled as I put her arm around my neck and carried her bridal style.

By the time we reached her room, she was out cold.

As I set her down on her bed, I realized her breath had slowed, and her face was pale.

I turned around and was about to call Mr. Stark but someone was right behind me, and as soon as I turned around they put their pointer finger on my lips, in the 'shhh' sign.

I noticed her from earlier.

She was the water girl.

I backed away.

"Water lady." I said.

She rolled her eyes.

"Um, Candice is more accurate than 'water girl'." She said.

She looked at me.

"I remember you from earlier too. Your the cutie that tried to detain me."

Wait, did-did she just call me 'cutie'?

"Um, did you, did you just call me cutie?" I asked, confused.

"It's a more accurate nickname for you than 'water lady' for me." She said with a giggle.

Then she turned to Giselle and her girly smile fell.

"And THAT is my target." She said seriously.

She outstretched her arm and a tentacle of water came over and wrapped around me in a blink of an eye.

She shoved her hand to the left and I was pinned to the wall.

I watched as she pulled out a gun.

"No! Please! Candice no!" I yelled.

She looked at me softly.

"I'm sorry Peter but the boss told me to bring her in. He told us not to hurt her. And I didn't. Well, it's not permanent..." she said.

"Candice? Candice what did you do? What did you do?!" I yelled.

She smiled at Giselle.

"Just a little poisoning. That's all. I've got the antidote right here," she said, pulling out a green vial and putting it in her gun like a bullet "but all of this fuss for another girl? Your going to hurt my feelings cutie." She said, pouting.

"Makes me want to end her, right here. All I have to do to heal her is shoot her with the antibiotic. But, what would happen if I shot her in the heart? She would be cured of the poisoning, but she would also be plagued with death."

She pointed her gun higher on Giselle's body, and I screamed.

The water tightened around me, stopping me from making noise.

She looked back at me.

"Now now cutie, if you make any noise then this play date will be over." She said in a taunting tone.

I struggled in my watery prison as she lowered her gun at Giselle's leg.

She shot it.

In a hurry, she grabbed Giselle with water and rode alongside her in a large floating water bubble.

Everyone came crashing through the door as she went out of sight.

"Kid, what the hell happened?" Said Clint when the water fell.

"Candice came and took Giselle. She poisoned her, that's why she had to leave dinner early. She poisoned her so that she could take her while everyone was busy eating." I replied.

They all stared at me blankly.

"Um, kid, who's Candice?" Said Mr. Stark.

I slapped my forehead.

Of course they didn't know who Candice was.

"Water lady." I said.

They all nodded and then we ran after her.
